    Here in Angola

    Al Stewart

    (possibly about Bob Dylan?)

    Song
    ----

    D A
    I can't deal with all this undergrowth talk

    Em7 A
    It just trips my feet and tangles up my thoughts

    G A
    You're trying to sell me your new faith

    D
    Tell me why do you do it?

    G
    And your hands are clenched and you're talking low

    Bm
    With your eyes like flames and your voice like snow

    G Em A
    Someone dug a pit for you and you fell right into it


    Chorus
    ------

    G
    Tell me how the universe was meant to be

    A D
    Take another sip of your cola

    G
    You be the colonel of the cavalry

    A Bm
    I'll be Francis Ford Coppola

    G
    We'll go together through the jungle night

    Bm
    Till the moon and stars fade out of sight

    G A7
    Waiting for the dawn to come

    D G D G D G D G
    Here in Angola, here in Angola.


    Rest of song
    ------------

    D A
    I can't remember how you got this way

    Em7 A
    I can still recall you in a younger day

    G A D
    The earnestness now drips off you like butter

    G
    And you fling round words in a holy war

    Bm
    And you look so vague but seem so sure

    G Em A
    Don't you ever just want to break right down and stutter.


    Chorus


    Gm D
    Ahhhh, why don't you let it go

    G Gm/Bb D F#m
    Ahhhh, you'd be too wise to know

    G A G
    That time will get you anyway

    A Bb
    It's at your door today


    Guitar instrumental: C Bb C Bb C F Bb C Bb C Bb C D


    A
    I can't deal with these periscope views

    Em7 A
    The caveman scrawl that you call news

    G A D
    Hey, why don't you make a note to cancel your next visit

    G
    Well I knew that things were getting out of control

    Bm
    When you found your faith and lost your soul

    G Em
    If there's something you'd rather die than compromise

    A
    What is it?


    Chorus

    3 Doors Down

    Life of my Own

    (Lyrics by Arnold)
    (Music by Arnold, Roberts, & Henderson)

    Living risky, never scared, wander
    Closer to the edge
    Nothing valued think no fear, always
    Wondering why you’re here
    All your purposes are gone, nothing’s
    Right and nothing’s wrong
    Nothing ventured, nothing gained
    Feel no sorrow, feel no pain

    Kiss me while I’m still alive
    Kill me while I kiss the sky
    Let me die on my own terms, let me
    Live and let me learn
    Now I’ll follow my own way, and I’ll
    Live on to another damn day
    Freedom carries sacrifice, remember
    When this was my life

    Looking forward, not behind
    Everybody’s got to cross that line
    Free me now to give me a place,
    Keep me caged and free the beast
    Falling faster, time goes by, fear is
    Not seen through these eyes
    What there was will never be, now
    I’m blind and cannot see

    Kiss me while I’m still alive
    Kill me while I kiss the sky
    Let me die on my own terms, let
    Me live and let me learn
    Now I’ll follow my own way, and I’ll
    Live on to another damn day
    Freedom carries sacrifice, remember
    When this was my life

    Kiss me while I’m still alive
    Kill me while I kiss the sky
    Let me die on my own terms, let
    Me live and let me learn
    Now I’ll follow my own way, and I'll live on to another damn day
    Freedom carries sacrifice,
    Remember when this was my life
