Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds – Hollywood (Guitar)

                                Am
The fires continued through the night

                                        Em                                          C
The kid with a bat face appeared at the window then €…disappeared into the headlights

                             Am
I was halfway to the Pacific €…Coast

                       Em                                     C
I had left you in your longing and your yearning like a ghost

                        Am                              Em           C
There's little room for wonder now, and little room for wildness too

           Am                 Em                           C
We crawl into our wounds, I'm nearly all the way to Malibu

                    Am                   Em
I'm gonna buy me a house up in the hills

                                             C
With a tear-shaped pool and a gun that kills

                          Am
Cause they say there is a cougar that roams these parts

       Em                                   C
With a terrible engine of wrath for a heart

                      Am
That she is white and rare and full of all kinds of harm

    Em                                C
And stalks the perimeter all day long

                                  Am   Em C
But at night lays trembling in my arms

             Am          Em                   C
And I'm just waiting now, for my time to come

             Am          Em                   C
And I'm just waiting now, for my time to come

             Am          Em                       C
And I'm just waiting now, for my place in the sun

             Am          Em                  C
And I'm just waiting now, for peace to come

             Am                  Em           C
And I'm just waiting now, for my time to come

              Am        Em                    C
And I'm just waiting now, for my time to come

       Am                 Em                               C
And we hide in our wounds I'm nearly all the way to Malibu

                   Am                     Em
And I know my time will come one day soon

                              C
I'm waiting for peace to come

           Am                    Em
I'm nearly all the way to Malibu

                                                             C
Oh babe we're on the run, we're on the run, we're on the run

                   Am          Em
Halfway down the Pacific Coast

                                              C Am Em   C Am Em C
Well I left you sleeping like a ghost in your wounds

              Am                           Em
Darling your dreams are your greatest part

                                 C
I carry them with me in my heart

              Am                           Em
Darling your dreams are your greatest part

                                 C
I carry them with me in my heart

         Am      Em   C
Somewhere, don't know

                              Am
Now I'm standing on the shore

                                 Em
All the animals roam the beaches

                                  C
Sea creatures rise out of the sea

                              Am
And I'm standing on the shore

                       Em
Everyone begins to run

C           Am                 Em   C
 Kisa had a baby, but the baby died

            Am                         Em     C
Goes to the villagers, says "My baby's sick!"

                      Am
Villagers shake their heads and say to her

                  Em
"Better bury your baby in the forest quick"

       C           Am            Em
It's a long way to find peace of mind, peace of mind

       C           Am            Em                  C
It's a long way to find peace of mind, peace of mind

                 Am
Kisa went to the mountain and asked the Buddha

           Em                              C
"My baby's sick!" Buddha said, "Don't cry"

                                        Am
"Go to each house and collect a mustard seed

                            Em             C
But only from a house where no one's died"

                  Am
Kisa went to each house in the village

                   Em                       C
"My baby's getting sicker", poor Kisa cried

                             Am
But Kisa never collected one mustard seed

                Em               C
In every house, someone had died

                     Am
Kisa sat down in the old village square

               Em                       C
She hugged her baby and cried and cried

                      Am
She said everybody is always losing somebody

     Em
Then walked into the forest and buried her child

C    Am                    Em
Everybody's losing someone

C    Am                    Em
Everybody's losing someone

C                  Am            Em                 
It's a long way to find peace of mind, peace of mind

C                  Am            Em                 
It's a long way to find peace of mind, peace of mind

C            Am                  Em          
And I'm just waiting now, for my time to come

C            Am               Em
And I'm just waiting now, for peace to come

             C
For peace to come
