"Better Days To Come"
As Played By The Lonesome River Band
*Capo 3rd fret
G D G
Don't remind me of things in my past
C A D
Oh, I've fallen down along the way.
G B7 Em
You're not the first, you won't be the last.
A7 D
In fact you're the second one today.
G D G
That don't get me down, whats done is done.
C A7 D
And I refuse to re-live yesterday.
G B7 Em C
'Cause I believe my best days are yet to come,
G D G
If I could only get this one out of the way.
(Chorus)
G C D
I don't know, about tomorrow
C D
Yesterday has passed and gone.
C D B7 Em
Don't judge me by my past and I'll try,
C D G
And do better in days to come.
Should you see me crying today,
Oh, it won't be 'cause I'm looking back.
I don't deal with old memories that way.
Those tragic scenes have faded to black.
They don't get me down, what's done is done.
I've only groomed to feel today's pain.
When the sun comes up on another day,
I'll put yesterday behind me once again.
(To Chorus)

Mr. Bojangles
As done by Mr. Keith Whitley. I really like the way Keith sang it here with much emotion/emotion. The sound quality isn't too considering this was back in the late '70s or early '80s-before his solo career in country music.

So this is the kind of stuff you listen to when you have kids (or not maybe my kids are just odd).
You have to watch the video along with it - cracks me up, but I am rather crazy! How could this NOT make you smile?

Some more A Perfect Circle. 13th Step is an amazing album with lots of insights into addiction and recovery.
Here is what Maynard had to say about the album and this song. Enjoy!!
The songs on Thirteenth Step for the most part are about the various processes of addiction, behavioral addictions, chemical addictions, and each song is kind of sung from a different perspective. I have a lot of friends who've gone through a lot of these situations. Some of the songs are sung from the perspective of the actual drug, from the perspective of someone who has realized that they have an issue or a problem, also from the perspective of a person who realizes that if they don't do something they're going to die, a song from the perspective of a person who is in denial about a loved one, dying right before their eyes. And in the case of "The Outsider", it's sung from the perspective of a person who doesn't understand at all what their friend is going through, what their loved one is going through, and they think that it's more like a sprained ankle; they can just kind of walk it off.

Autumn's Not That Cold
I love the piano 'work' in this song.
Man this guy can really sing with heart and soul. Hmmmm. Is he an eloquent singer? An eloquent writer? He writes most all his own stuff.
Skip Ewing.
Enjoy.

"Autumn's Not That Cold"
Back here the leaves are turning
On me, just like you.
Change is full of color,
And it's anything but blue.
I thought that I'd stop living
Without you here to hold.
But I'm just not that lonesome,
And Autumn's not that cold.
That Summer sun was setting
When you set your sights to leave
And I braced myself believing
It would bring me to my knees
Oh, but here it is October
Oh the leaves are turning gold
Each night's a little bluer,
But Autumn's not that cold.
I know before too long
I'll feel the chill that Winter brings
But by then I'll just be looking
Forward to another Spring.
I'm almost feeling guilty
That the hurt's not taking hold.
Guess I'm just not that lonesome.
And Autumn's not that cold.

One Light Shining
Ruth Moody.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWL-WwFnAV8
Do you remember when we stood under
The apple blossoms in the spring
Back when life was sweet and simple
And all the birds did sing
Oh oh oh
Now the days are shorter
And all this talk of war
Makes for a heavy heart
Well I say hold on
Keep your eyes on that horizon
Maybe we'll see a new day rising
If you keep a little hope alive and
One light shining
We're all trying to drive our flags in
Carve our names into the wall
We all know there'a higher road where
Someone's brave enought to fall
And you say
These jokers own the game
Look how they have us tamed
Look at the mess we've made
Well I say hold on
Keep your eyes on that horizon
Maybe we'll see a new day rising
If you keep a little hope alive and
One light shining
And I'll be standing by your side
I'll be trying to change your mind
Until I see your one light shining
'Cause I believe
It's in the rhythm of skies and seas
The hearts of mountains and roots of trees
In the earth we walk upon
Well I say hold on
Keep your eyes on that horizon
Maybe we'll see a new day rising
If you keep a little hope alive and
One light shining
Keep your eyes on that horizon
Maybe we'll see a new day rising
If you keep a little hope alive and
One light shining
Keep your light shining

Thanks
