[G]
Let
[Gm]
me just check.
[Eb] [Ab]
[Eb]
[Eb] [Bb]
[Eb] [F]
[E] A lot of the ways [Eb] that people communicate are cerebral, they go through the head.
One of the interesting things about music is it seems to plug directly into the emotion.
So I wasn't at all surprised when I heard that these Ugandan mothers couldn't get to their sons [G] in normal ways,
but when they started singing music, [F] it somehow touched them in a place that nothing else could reach.
[Gb] Music can do that, [Eb] and if we can make the chain and make the link here, I'm sure we can help to make a difference.
[Bb] [Ab] This is in the neighborhood, this is one of my favorite [D] Tom Waits [C] songs.
It's quite hymn-like, but he's such an amazing lyricist.
It's a really beautiful picture.
Well, not beautiful, but a beautiful piece of writing.
And [Eb] I've always liked it.
[Ab]
[Eb] [Ab]
[Ebm] [F]
[Bb]
[Eb] The eggs chase the [Ab] bacon [Eb] round the frying pan
[Ab]
[Eb] The whining [Cm] dog pigeons [Fm] by the steeple bell [Bb] roll
And [Eb] the dogs tip the [Ab] garbage pails [Eb] over last night
[Eb] There's always [Cm] construction work [Fm] bothering [Bb] you
[Gm] In the [Ab] neighborhood, in [Bb] the [Cm] neighborhood, in [Eb] the [Bb] neighborhood
[Eb] Big Mambo's [Ab] kicking
[Eb] his old [Ab] greyhound
[Eb] And the kids [Cm] can't get ice cream because [Fm] the market burned down
[Eb] And the newspaper [Ab] sleeping bags [Eb] are blowing down [Ab] the lane
[Eb] Goddamn, the [Cm] flatbed has [Fm] got me pinned in again
In [Eb] the [Ab] neighborhood, in [Eb] the [Ab] neighborhood, in [Eb] the neighborhood
There's a couple of Filipino [Ab] girls [Eb] giggling by [Ab] the church
The [Eb] window is busted, [F] the landlord [Gm] ain't home
[Eb] The butch joined [Ab] the army, [Eb] that's where he's [Ab] been
And the [Cm] jackhammer's digging up [Fm] the sidewalks again
[Gm] In the [Ab] neighborhood, [Eb] in the [Cm] neighborhood, [Eb] in the [Bb] neighborhood
[Eb] [Fm]
