Verse:
------

Looking down on empty streets, all she can see
Dbm                            E/Db

Are the dreams all made solid, are the dreams made real
        Gbm/A                          Gbm

All of the buildings, all of the cars
Dbm                   E/Db

Were once just a dream in somebody's head
     Gbm/A                E/Db

She pictures the broken glass, pictures the steam
    Dbm                        E/Db

She pictures a soul with no leak at the seam
    A                    A/Gb           

Bridge:
-------
Let's take the boat out (wait until darkness)
Dbm

Let's take the boat out (wait until darkness comes)
Dbm


[verse]
Nowhere in the corridors of pale green and grey
Nowhere in the suburbs, in the cold light of day
There in the midst of it so alive and alone
Words support like bone
A                  B                  

Chorus:
-------
Dreaming of Mer--cy Street, wear your inside  out
            E/Db A  B       Dbm         Abm/B A9

Dreaming of mercy     in your daddy's arms again
            E     A B         Dbm          B

Dreaming of Mer--cy Street, swear they moved that  sign
            E/Db A  B       Dbm              Abm/B A9

Dreaming of mercy     in your daddy's arms
            E     A B         Dbm

Solo:
-----
E/Db A  [repeat twice]
Dbm

[verse]
Pulling out the papers from the drawers that slide smooth
Tugging at the darkness, word upon word
Confessing all the secret things in the warm velvet box
To the priest-he's the doctor, he can handle the shocks
Dreaming of the tenderness-the tremble in the hips
Of kissing Mary's lips
   A              B                  

[chorus] 
Dreaming of Mercy Street, wear your inside out
Dreaming of mercy in your daddy's arms again
Dreaming of Mercy Street, swear they moved that sign
Looking for mercy in your daddy's arms

[solo]

Mercy, mercy looking for mercy
Dbm      

Mercy,    looking for mercy
Dbm    B              Db     B

Looking for mercy 
            Dbm    A

Looking for mercy...
            Dbm

End:
----
Anne with her father is out in the boat
Dbm                     E/Db

Riding the water, 
Gbm/A                 

Riding the waves
Gbm

On the sea
       Dbm

                          Modern Love
                        by Peter Gabriel
                    off Peter Gabriel (1977)

NOTE: I think Tony Levin used a 5-string (Music Man, no doubt) on this, 
      which would make the arpeggio-like run up to high C in the chorus 
      a bit easier.  Then again, it's Tony Levin...

Intro:

Chorus:

      Red rain is coming down, red rain
Cmaj7     D              Cmaj7     D

      Red rain is pouring down, pouring down, all over me
Cmaj7     D               Cmaj7         D              Em

Verse:
------
I am standing up at the water's edge in my dream
     Em                 D/E                Em

        I cannot make a single sound as you scream
     Em                 D/E                 Em        

        It can't be that cold, the ground is still warm to touch
     Em7                 A/E                       Em

  We touch, this place is so quiet, sensing that storm

[chorus]

[verse]
Well I've seen them buried in a sheltered place in this town
They tell you that this rain can sting, and look down
There is no blood around see no sign of pain
No pain, seeing no red at all, see no rain

Putting the pressure on much harder now
To return again and again

Just let the red rain splash you
Let the rain fall on your skin
I come to you defences down
With the trust of a child
                    Em

[chorus]

And I can't watch any more, no more denial
            C                  Em
            
It's so hard to lay down in all of this
        C

[chorus]
Red rain is coming down
Red rain is pouring down
Red rain is coming down all over me
I see it

Red rain is coming down
Red rain is pouring down
Red rain is coming down all over me
I'm bathing in 

Red rain coming down
Red rain is coming down
Red rain is coming down all over me
I'm begging you

Red rain coming down
Red rain coming down
Red rain coming down
Red rain coming down
Over me in the red red sea
     D         Cmaj7   Dsus4

Over me
     Cmaj7 Dsus4

Over me

Red rain

Verse:

     I stood in this unsheltered place
D                                D/B
     'Til I could see the face behind the face     
Bm/G                      A               D

Chorus:
-------
      Down by the railway siding
G                 D/Gb

In our secret world, we were colliding
       G                D/A

      All the places we were hiding love
G                    A/Gb    A      D/B

      What was it we were thinking of?
G                 A                D

[verse]
So I watch you wash your hair
Underwater, unaware
And the plane flies through the air

[chorus]
Did you think I didn't have to choose it
That I alone could win or lose it
In all the places we were hiding love
What was it we were thinking of?

[verse]
In this house of make believe
Divided in two like Adam and Eve
You put out and I receive

[chorus]

Bridge:
-------
[D bass riff]

Oh the wheel it is turning spinning round and round
       D                            D

And the house it is crumbling but the stairways stand
        D                             D

..........................
C/D                     D

With no guilt and no shame, no sorrow or blame
        D                      D

Whatever it is, we are all the same
    D                  D

    Making it up in our secret world
C/D                     D

    Making it up in our secret world
C/D                     D

    Making it up in our secret world
C/D                     D

    Shaking it up    
C              G

    Breaking it up
C               G

    Making it up in our secret world
C             G         D

[verse]
Seeing things that were not there
On a wing, on a prayer
In this state of disrepair

[chorus]

Hi,

First off I would like to thank you for providing this service.  I had
all but given up on playing when I found this resource. This fresh input
has revived my love.

I noticed a request for Sledgehammer in the most-wanted list.  I found
the following crd for this at another site.  The originators address is
at the top. I attempted to contact him/her to see if they minded me
forwarding this to you  but couldn't get mail through to that address. I
kinda figured if it was in a public ftp directory they might not mind it
being spread around.  I am sending the file intact incase you or anyone
else wishes to attempt to contact him/her.

Again thanks for being there and doing all this for all of us.

Regards,

Christopher Martin (cmartin@martin.idi.oclc.org)

I think this is beutiful sоng, with the exiting Тоnу Levin's bass.
Unfоrтunатеlу I've never seen a Тоnу Levin live реrfоrmаnсе, sо I
dоn't кnоw the tecnique he uses то create such a bass feeling.
Nоте that the 4th string is tuned as an Eb and nот as an E.
Once mоrе sоrrу fоr my bad english.
HAVE FUN!!!

Intro: G | Cadd9 | Bm7 | G }x4 

Verse:
G           Cadd9   Bm7      G
The book of love is long and boring
G          Cadd9    Bm7   G
No one can lift the damn thing
G            Cadd9      Bm7         G
It's full of charts and facts and figures
G       Cadd9       Bm7    G
and instructions for dancing

Chorus:
       G  Cadd9  Bm7  G
   But I ................
   G         Cadd9    Bm7    G
   I love it when you read to me
        G  Cadd9  Bm7  G
   And you ...............
       G   Cadd9   Bm7  G
   You can read me anything

Verse 2:
G           Cadd9   Bm7      G
The book of love has music in it
G          Cadd9    Bm7   G
In fact that's where music comes from
G            Cadd9      Bm7    G
Some of it is just transcendental
G       Cadd9       Bm7    G
Some of it is just really dumb

Chorus:
       G  Cadd9  Bm7  G
   But I ..................
   G         Cadd9    Bm7    G
   I love it when you sing to me
       G  Cadd9  Bm7  G
   And you ................
       G   Cadd9   Bm7  G
   You can sing me anything

Verse 3:
G           Cadd9   Bm7      G
The book of love is long and boring
G          Cadd9    Bm7 G
And written very long ago
G            Cadd9      Bm7         G
It's full of flowers and heart-shaped boxes
G       Cadd9       Bm7    G
And things we're all too young to know

Chorus:
       G  Cadd9  Bm7  G
   But I ..................
   G         Cadd9    Bm7    G
   I love it when you give me things
       G  Cadd9  Bm7  G
   And you ................
       G   Cadd9   Bm7  G
   You ought to give me wedding rings

       G  Cadd9  Bm7  G
   But I ..................
   G         Cadd9    Bm7    G
   I love it when you give me things
       G  Cadd9  Bm7  G
   And you ................
       G   Cadd9   Bm7  G
   You ought to give me wedding rings

       G  Cadd9  Bm7  G
   But I ..................
   G         Cadd9    Bm7    G
   I love it when you give me things
       G  Cadd9  Bm7  G
   And you ................
       G   Cadd9   Bm7  G
   You ought to give me wedding rings
       G   Cadd9   Bm7  G
   You ought to give me wedding rings

Intro:
------

River, river, carry me on
C

Living river, carry me on
C

River, river, carry me on
F/C           C

To the place where I come from
Bb/C                      C

Verse:
------
So deep, so wide, will you take me on your back for a ride
C  F/D      C/E            F                          C

If I should fall, would you swallow me deep inside
C  G/B      Am              F               C

River, show me how to float, I feel like I'm sinking down
C      F/D     G/B    C        F                     C

Thought that I    could     get along
Am/C    C    Em/B G/B    F       C

Chorus:
-------
But here      in this water, my feet won't touch the ground
    C	 Am/F         D/Gb      Fmaj7/G    Dm/G      C

I need something to turn  myself around
C Am/F D/Gb         Fmaj7/G Dm/G  C

[verse]
Going away, away toward the sea
River deep, can you lift up and carry me
Oh roll on through the heartland
'Til the sun has left the sky
River, river, carry me high

[chorus]
'Til the washing of the water, make it all alright
Let your waters reach me, like she reached me tonight

Bridge:
-------
Letting go, it's so hard, the way it's hurting now
        Am          C/G                Fmaj7

To get this love untied
   D/Gb     E/Ab   Am

So tough to stay with this thing, cos if I follow through
            C/G                            Fmaj7

I face what I  denied
  D/Gb      E/Ab Am

I'll get those hooks out of me
               C/G     

And I'll take out the hooks that I sunk deep in your side
         Fmaj7                     D/Gb      E/Ab    Am

Kill that fear of emptiness, that loneliness I hide
                  C/G             Fmaj7        C

[chorus]
River, oh river, river running deep
Bring me something that will let me get to sleep

In the washing of the water will you take it all away
Bring me something to take this pain away
