Squeeze Box -
-----------
(Townshend)
G
Mama's got a squeeze box
She wears on her chest
And when Daddy comes home
He never gets no rest
D
'Cause she's playing all night
C
And the music's all right
D
Mama's got a squeeze box
C G
Daddy never sleeps at night
Well the kids don't eat
And the dog can't sleep
There's no escape from the music
In the whole damn street
D
'Cause she's playing all night
C
And the music's all right
D
Mama's got a squeeze box
C G
Daddy never sleeps at night
G
She goes in and out and in and out and in and out and in and out
D
She's playing all night
C
And the music's all tight
D
Mama's got a squeeze box
C G
Daddy never sleeps at night
G (slowly, finger picked)
She goes, squeeze me, come on and squeeze me
D
Come on and tease me like you do
C
I'm so in love with you
D
Mama's got a squeeze box
C G
Daddy never sleeps at night
She goes in and out and in and out and in and out and in and out
'Cause she's playing all night
And the music's all right
Mama's got a squeeze box
Daddy never sleeps at night
Imagine A Man Chord pattern : C C7 F Fm
------------- This song is finger picked - slowly
(Townshend) chorus: Bb C Dm Em F ... C
C
Imagine a man
C7
Not a child of any revolt
F Fm
But a plain man tied up in life
Imagine the sand
Running out as he struts
Parading and fading, ignoring his wife
Imagine a road
So long looking backwards
You can't see where it really began
Imagine a load
So large and so smooth
That against it a man is an ant
Then you will see the end
You will see the end
Imagine events
That occur everyday
Like a shooting or raping or a simple act of deceit
Imagine a fence
Around you as high as prudential
Casting shadows, you can't see your feet
Imagine a girl
You long for and have
And the body of chalky perfection and truth
Imagine a past
Where you wish you had lived
Full of heroes and villians and fools
And you will see the end
You will see the end
And you will see the end
You will see the end
Oh yeah
Imagine a man
Not a child of any revolt
But a man of today feeling new
Imagine a soul
So old it it is broken
And you will know your invention is you
And you will see the end
You will see the end
You will see the end
You will see the end
Oh yeah
They Are All In Love
-------------------- D Em G A (repeat)
(Townshend) Chorus - G A
A% - same thing you so with D chord a lot
With your bottom finger on second string,
Do a 3,2,0,2
D Em G A ...
Where do you walk on sunny times
When the rivers gleam and the buildings shine
How do you feel goin' up hallowed halls
And the summer clothes brighten gloomy halls
G A
And they're all in love
And they're all in love
Where do you fit in zzzzip magazine
Where the past is the hero and the present a queen
Just tell me right now where do you fit in
With mud in your eye and a passion for gin
And they're all in love
And they're all in love
Hey, goodbye all you punks
Stay young and stay high
Hand me my checkbook
And I'll crawl out to die
But like a woman in childbirth
Grown ugly in a flash
I'm seen magic and fame
Now I'm recycling trash
And they're all in love
And they're all in love
And they're all in love
And they're all in love
How Many Friends G D C A
----------------
(Townshend)
G D
I'm feelin' so good right now
C A G
There's a handsome boy tells me how I changed his past
D
He buys me a brandy
C A G (continue)
But could it be he's really just after my ass?
He likes the clothes I wear
He says he likes a man who's dressed in season
But no-one else ever stares, he's being so kind
What's the reason?
How many friends have I really got?
A%
You can count 'em on one hand
How many friends have I really got?
How many friends have I really got?
G D G D C G A
That love me, that want me, that'll take me as I am?
Suddenly it's the silver screen
And a face so beautiful that I have to cry out
Everybody hears me
But I look like a fool now
With a cry and I shy out
She knows all of my friends
But it's nice to find a woman who's keen on living
Now I think I've reached the end
I wonder in the dead of night - how do I rate?
How many friends have I really got?
How many friends have I really got?
How many friends have I really got?
That love me, that want me, that'll take me as I am?
It's all like a dream you know
When you're still up early in the morning
And you all sit together to watch the sun come through
But things don't look so good
When you could use a bit of warning
Then you know that no-one will ever speak the truth about you
How many friends have I really got?
How many friends have I really got?
How many friends have I really got?
That love me, that want me, that'll take me as I am?
When I first signed a contract
It was more than a handshake then
I know it still is
But there's a plain fact
We talk so much shit behind each other's backs
I get the willies
People know nothing about their own soft gut
So how come they can sum us up
Without suffering all the hype we've known
How come they bum us up
How many friends have I really got?
You can count 'em on one hand
How many friends have I really got?
How many friends have I really got?
That love me, that want me, that'll take me as I am?
