The Nightwatchman Guitar tablature

Californias Dark TABS

Capo 2nd Fret

It started in basements

And it started in sheds

It started in backyards

And was hidden under beds

I turned on the TV

Don't believe a word they say

We can't stay here

And we can't get away

There's a riot on Sunset

And fires burn in the park

The sun has set my friend

And California's dark

And over the screaming

I heard a clear voice

I looked at my choices

And I made a choice

Smoke and ashes

Tonight hide the stars

The stop lights are red now, love

We've come for what's ours

There's a riot on Sunset

And fires burn in the park

The sun has set my friend

And California's dark

Come stand among the rattlesnakes

At the side of the desert road

And close your eyes and listen

To the music hard and cold

Tonight the moon is blackened

Tonight the doors are shut

Behind the shuttered windows

We pray the sun will come up

For something walks across these fields

For which there is no name

You might have heard different

But I was there when it came

It will start with a spark

And a great fire will grow

Don't know how I know it

But I just know

There's a riot on Sunset

And fires burn in the park

The sun sets everywhere

And the whole damn country's dark

There's a riot on Sunset

And fires burn in the park

The sun has set my friend

And California's dark

One Man Revolution

Capo 2nd Fret

On the streets of New York

The cabs don't stop

On the street where I live

They called the cops

Found a noose in my garage

Now how 'bout that

So tonight I'm in the bushes

With a baseball bat

Cause I'm a one man

I'm a one man

I'm a one man revolution

I'm a one man

I'm a one man revolution

The time is nigh

The day is dark

There's only one solution

I'm a one man

I'm a one man revolution

On the streets of Havana

I got hugged and kissed

At the Playboy Mansion

I wasn't on the list

On the streets of Cape Town

Shit's ready to blow

I don't know how to get there

But I'm ready to go

Cause I'm a one man

I'm a one man

I'm a one man revolution

I'm a one man

I'm a one man revolution

The time is nigh

The day is dark

There's only one solution

I'm a one man

I'm a one man revolution

Sacrifice and neon lights

Slaveships don't wait

Love many, trust few

And don't be late

In my nightmares

The streets are aflame

And in my dreams

It's much the same

And on the streets of L.A.

They know my name

And if you've come this far mister

Maybe we're one and the same

I'm a one man

I'm a one man revolution

I'm a one man

I'm a one man revolution

The time is nigh

The day is dark

There's only one solution

I'm a one man

I'm a one man revolution

Let Freedom Ring

Capo 4th Fret

Intro

minor

There's a man homeless and hungry

There's a wind that's hard and biting

There's a song in need of singing

There's a fuse in need of lighting

It's no secret the day is coming

And it's a day I hope to see

But if they ask

If they ask you brother

Who told you that

You didn't hear it from me

Let Freedom Ring

There's a book with seven seals

There's a beast with seven heads

There's seven angels on seven horses

There's seven vials with seven plagues

So if you hear

If you hear a knocking

On that door

Just let it be

But if they ask

If they ask you brother

Who told you that

You didn't hear it from me

Let Freedom Ring

Where the righteous

Where the righteous stood

And where the righteous

Where the righteous fell

There's a voice

That's soft and whispering

Coming from the bottom of the well

And I tried hard to remember

To remember what that voice said

Over and over

I repeated those words

Inside my head

Let Freedom Ring

And if they ask

If they ask you brother

Who told you that

Tell them it was me

The Road I Must Travel

Well I climbed the seven summits

And I swam the seven seas

But the road I must travel

Its end I cannot see

I fought in the jungles

And I fought in the streets

But the road I must travel

Its end I cannot see

Once I had a reason

Don't know what it could be

But the road I must travel

Its end I cannot see

Well I sang to myself

That I want to be free

But the road I must travel

Its end I cannot see

I walked the empty desert

And I was burned in the heat

But the road I must travel

Its end I cannot see

I crossed the frozen wasteland

And in the bitter cold did freeze

But the road I must travel

Its end I cannot see

And I will knock on every door

For I do not have a key

And the road I must travel

Its end I cannot see

Well I sang to myself

That I want to be free

But the road I must travel

Its end I cannot see

They shot a man in Soho

Couldn't guess his age

I found his empty journal

I filled up every page

I called up my state senator

They said he wasn't there

The secretary took my name

And man she sounded scared

So I counted my misfortunes

I added up the blame

I picked through all the garbage

I checked off all the names

I read in the newspaper

They'd questioned all my friends

They hoped that they could find me

Before I struck again

Well I sang to myself

That I want to be free

But the road I must travel

Its end I cannot see

So when thirsty I will drink

When hungry I will steal

But the road I must travel

Its end I cannot see

So tonight I walk in anger

With worn shoes on my feet

But the road I must travel

Its end I cannot see

And I will sing to myself

That I'm gonna be free

But the road I must travel

Its end I cannot see

There's a sign along the highway

But it's too dark now to read

The Garden of Gethsemane

Capo 4th Fret

On the side of the dirt road

An old Chevy wreck

I climbed through the window

I sat in the back

I gathered my thoughts

With my head in my hands

My next of kin

My list of demands

I slipped from shadow to shadow

I saw things I should not see

The moon rose high

Over the Garden

The Garden of Gethsemane

I know who I'm for

And who I'm against

I pulled the shades tight

I built me a fence

I dug a tunnel

Deep and wide

I sit at the bottom

And wait for the night

I slipped from shadow to shadow

I saw things I should not see

The moon rose high

Over the Garden

The Garden of Gethsemane

Morning has come

Clean clothes on the line

There'll be no tomorrow

I rise and I shine

If you swallow the coin

From the wishing well

Your dreams will come true

In heaven or hell

I slipped from shadow to shadow

I saw things I should not see

The moon rose high

Over the Garden

The Garden of Gethsemane

Take my hand

Down we go

Take my hand, love

Down we go

House gone up in Flames

Tuned down ½ step

It's in the grain of the wood

It's in the needle's rust

It's in the eagle's claw

It's in the eyes you trust

It's in the jackal's dreams

It's in the sleet and the hail

It's in the unmarked box

That came today in the mail

It's in the dead man's pocket

It's in the child's first sin

It's in the Constitution

Written in very small print

It's in Colin Powell's lies

It's in the shaman's trance

It's in the cellar waiting

And it's in the best laid plans

We could cut and run

And take half the blame

Don't stop now

That's why we came

House gone up in flames

It's in the National Anthem

It's in the scurrying roach

It's in the closed partition

'Tween first class and coach

It's in the relentless fever

It's in the lonely room

It's in the hands of fate

And it's in the pharaoh's tomb

It's in the rich man's dreams

It's in the poor man's hands

It's in the body bags

Along the Rio Grande

It's in the evening shade

It's on the zealot's tongue

It's in the widow's tears

And it's in the miner's lungs

We could cut and run

And take half the blame

Don't stop now

That's why we came

House gone up in flames

It's in the moon's dark spin

It's in the cloudless sky

It was in St. Peter's denial

That he'd thrice deny

It's in the distant thunder

It's in the whispered prayer

That they won't find us hidden here

Beneath the stairs

So consider yourself lucky

And watch what you say

I got what I wanted

You might get the same

It's in the bold print nailed

To the cathedral door

It's in the black cold pressure

On the ocean floor

We could cut and run

And take half the blame

Don't stop now

That's why we came

House gone up in flames

Flesh Shapes the Day

Now you might have heard different

But I know it's a fact

That Jesus, Mary, Joseph

And the Apostle Paul were black

Ten letters I am writing

Each one reads the same

Nine circles I am drawing

One around your name

Land and freedom

Steel and faith

Tooth and bone and wire

Skin, scar, dirt and fire

It doesn't matter who you are

It does not matter what you say

Flesh shapes the day

Now it's clear as a pillar of smoke

And broken Starbuck's glass

Yeah, I support my troops

They wave black flags

They wear black masks

All the roads are closed

Smoke is rising from the fields

The monsters left their cages

An angel set them free

Land and freedom

Steel and faith

Tooth and bone and wire

Skin, scar, dirt and fire

It doesn't matter who you are

It does not matter what you say

Flesh shapes the day

Veteran's hospitals

And witches spells

Low to buy

And high to sell

And little girls

Collecting shells

And memories

Upon the shelves

And ringing bells

And high school choirs

And faithful dogs

Beside the fire

And billionaires

And open bars

And early exits

And judgments hard

And land and freedom

And steel and faith

And tooth and bone and wire

And skin, scar, dirt and fire

It doesn't matter who you are

Does not matter what the fuck you say

Flesh shapes the day

Battle Hymns

Capo 3rd fret

Battle hymns for the broken

Battle hymns for the misled

Battle hymns for the wretched

The forgotten and the dead

Battle hymns of redemption

Of solidarity and pride

Battle hymns we will be singing

At the turning of the tide

minor

Can you explain to the mothers

And the fathers of those

Who come riding home in coffins

In their military clothes

Shiny medals pinned

To their dead teenage chests

While the trumpets blare

And you lie your best

So ask all you want

From the dusk til the dawn

The answer's still no

Cause brother I'm gone

Battle hymns for the broken

Battle hymns for the misled

Battle hymns for the wretched

The forgotten and the dead

Battle hymns of redemption

Of solidarity and pride

Battle hymns we will be singing

At the turning of the tide

Can you explain away the sleight of hand

And the criminality

Of spending souls for oil

Well in the mirror I can see

I am the path that leads down

I am a dark and bloody hall

I'm the reaper, executioner

Hangman, judge, and the law

So tie a yellow ribbon

Round the oak tree on the lawn

But the cavalry's not comin'

Cause brother they're gone

Battle hymns for the broken

Battle hymns for the misled

Battle hymns for the wretched

The forgotten and the dead

Battle hymns of redemption

Of solidarity and pride

Battle hymns we will be singing

At the turning of the tide

So I'm sharpening my shovel

I'm firing the kiln

I'm blind and I am purposeful

A martyr on the hill

The dream you might be dreaming

Might be someone else's dream tonight

I'm the whisperer of misgivings

I'm the fading tail light

I'm the call for retribution

From the back of the smoke filled hall

I'm the vow of bitterness

I'm the poison in the well

I've a photographic memory

Of the deeds I will avenge

I'm the cold in the river hollow

I've a hatpin, I've a plan

I don't care of cause or consequence

Head shaved and body lean

I'm the go‐getter, the score settler

I'm the shadow on the green

There's a flock of blackbirds flying

Nearly ten thousand strong

Who set off this morning

And brother they're gone

Battle hymns for the broken

Battle hymns for the misled

Battle hymns for the wretched

The forgotten, for the dead

Battle hymns of redemption

Of solidarity and pride

Battle hymns we will be singing

At the turning of the tide

Maximum Firepower

This one's for the shoeshine boy

And the farmer in debt

Each string is barbed wire

Each chord is a threat

This blues guy I met

That never had a hit

Said you don't gotta be loud, son

To be heavy as shit

Well I'm the triggerman, baby

And tonight I'll prove

That this machine here

Well it kills fascists too

And don't be surprised

If the sermon on the mount

Next time is delivered

In a little coffee house

Cause somebody here's

Gotta let them know

I doubt it's me

But here I go

I hit the button

Tape started to roll

The song's got fire

But it's got no soul

There's a lonely stretch of blacktop

Between here and home

Drop down into the valley

Piano playin' in the living room

And when you see the white barn

You'll know the journey's through

My dog's barking in the backseat

Cause he knows it too

You'll need a fake passport

And fix your disguise

And don't fire, sugar

Til you see the whites of their eyes

I turned the other cheek

But now I'm through

The skin you're in

Makes choices for you

I was checking off names

And I came late to dinner

Seems the slices of pie

Keep getting thinner and thinner

Brothers and sisters

Rejoice and repent

The landlord's dead

You can keep the rent

You got twelve fine friends

But one of 'em's rotten

There's a hole out back

Ain't got no bottom

Forty days in the wilderness

Forty sleepless nights

I'm confused, half blind

And sure I'm right

There's a lonely stretch of blacktop

Between here and home

Drop down into the valley

Piano playin' in the living room

And when you see the white barn

You'll know the journey's through

My dog's barking in the backseat

Cause he knows it too

Officer please

I won't be long

Called the radio station

Requested this song

I had my doubts

About what I knew

So I turned it up

Then it sounded true

Kiss the ring

If the Queen will let you

But come over the fence

And the dogs will get you

On a rope hung the traitor

On a hook hung the meat

You and me are missing persons

Til we're counted in the streets

So seize the time

And storm the tower

And come correct

With Maximum Firepower

For the sins of the fathers

The son he must pay

The Nightwatchman giveth

And he taketh away

Thought hard about this next line

Pretty sure it's true

If you take a step towards freedom

It'll take two steps towards you

So mister I ain't scared

And mister I ain't worried

Cause on that lonely stretch of blacktop

I sit as judge and jury

There's a lonely stretch of blacktop

Between here and home

Drop down into the valley

Piano playin' in the living room

And when you see the white barn

You know the journey's through

My dog's barking in the backseat

Cause he knows it too

The clock strikes the hour

Tonight we ride

You've got three more seconds

To choose sides

Union Song

Capo 3rd Fret

Intro

For the fired auto workers

Who were twisted, tricked and robbed

To the peasant in Guatemala

In a sweatshop got your job

And she can't feed her family

On the pennies that she makes

Meanwhile the crime rate's rising

Up and down the Great Lake states

Like vegetables left in the field

The signatures smell rotten

On the contracts and the deeds

That push the race down to the bottom

As they load the rubber bullets

As they fire another round

I'm heading into the tear gas

Dig in man, hold your ground

For Joe Hill and Caesar Chavez

Who fought in their own time

For our brothers and our sisters

Up and down that picket line

For the unnamed and unnumbered

Who struggle brave and long

For the union men and women

Standing up and standing strong

Si nos quedemos

Juntos vamos a ganar? Si !

Hit em where it hurts

And bite the hand that feeds

You might get one to three

Or probation and a fine

But I know where I'm gonna be

I'm gonna be right on that front line

For Joe Hill and Caesar Chavez

Who fought in their own time

For our brothers and our sisters

Up and down that picket line

For the unnamed and unnumbered

Who struggle brave and long

For the union men and women

Standing up and standing strong

Now dirty scabs will cross the line

While others stand aside and look

But ain't nobody never got nothin'

That didn't raise their voice and push

Like the steel worker in Ohio

The miner in West Virginia

The teacher in Chicago

Janitor in Mississippi

From the sweatshops of L.A.

To the fields of Mission Flats

There's a thunder cloud exploding

And I'm free at last

Like Joe Hill and Caesar Chavez

Who fought in their own time

Like our brothers and our sisters

Up and down that picket line

Like the unnamed and unnumbered

Who struggle brave and long

Like the union men and women

Standing up and standing strong

The Dark Clouds Above

Never listened to the pain

Never listened to fortune or fame

Never listened to eagle or dove

Never listened to anger or love

But I listen to the dark clouds above

Never answered to the call

Never answered to nothing at all

Never answered when times got rough

Never answered to anger or love

But I answer to the dark clouds above

Never waited for dollar or dime

Never waited for signal or sign

Never waited when they screamed enough

Never waited for anger or love

But I'm waiting for the dark clouds above

Until The End

Intro

minor minor minor minor

No one knows who gave the orders

No one asks about the crime

No one looks behind the curtain

No one questions why

The only time we've got

Is right about now

I cross my heart

I take the vow

I'll never turn

I'll never bend

I'm with you now

Until the end

Tonight's the test

Tonight's the time

I am the punishment

That fits the crime

I'll break the bricks

I'll pick the locks

I don't got nothin'

But I'll give what I got

I'll never turn

I'll never bend

I'm with you now

Until the end

Ten trials whose outcomes

All fixed from the start

Nine judges sitting counting

Their money in the dark

Eight towers of iron

Surround the desert town

On a cold December morning

Seven martyrs knocked them down

Six fathers still waiting

For their six sons to come home

Five mothers who know better

And accept that they're gone

Four years I've been hunted

Still I breathe free

Three times I shot the sheriff

And did not spare the deputy

Two prayers I'm praying

Until we're together

One promise I'm keeping

Tonight and forever

I'll never turn

I'll never bend

I'm with you now

Until the end

This song is not on the Album but can be found on youtube.

Alone without you

Capo 5th Fret

Sick of the waiting praying and hoping

Sick of the cold whispered dreams and not knowin

Sick of the strength that it takes to keep going

Sick ‘cause I’m losing this fight and it’s showing.

Aye

Unforgivable but true

Aye

I’m alone without you

Sick of the fear and Sick of the cold

Sick ‘cause it’s worse for the weak and the old

With two broken legs I’m climbing this hill

Sick of deciding who gets what in my will

Unforgivable but true

I’m alone without you

Sick ‘cause I’m stuck on the wrong side of town

Sick ‘cause I’m pulling but still sinking down

Sick ‘cause I can’t turn this whole thing around

Sick ‘cause I’m too weak to hunt somebody down

Unforgivable but true

I’m alone without you

Sick of this hammer and litany of sins

Is banging and burning I can’t stand the din

Sick ‘cause the darkness keeps sinking on in

Sick to be leaving my family and friends
