1. You Can Count On Me


D            G 
Know you can count on me
D            G 
Know you can count on me
D            G 
Know you can count on me
   G      D      A
To get so up for it

D            G 
Know you can count on me
D            G 
Know you can count on me
D            G 
Know you can count on me
   G      D      A
To get so up for it

D            G
Know you can count on me
     G     D      A
I'll be so up for it
G       A          Bm(7)
Know at least I'll try

Bm      D                 G
Who are you if you're not up for it
A7                      Bm     F#m
When are you if I'm not up for it
G       A     Bm     D
Want to put a bubble round you
       G
Like a force field switch
A7                     Bm     F#m
Keep you secure just a little bit
G     A      Bm     D               G
But I know a secret child is just a silly trick
A7                        Bm          F#m
Who grows up to lose that force field switch
G    A       Bm       D                 G
In between a hands on and a hands off apprenticeship
A7                       Bm     F#m
Where are you if I'm not up for it
          G      A
I'll wake up for it

D            G 
Know you can count on me
D            G 
Know you can count on me
D            G 
Know you can count on me
   G      D      A
To get so up for it


D            G
Know you can count on me
     G     D      A
I'll be so up for it
G       A          Bm(7)
Know at least I'll try

4. Surfer's Hymn

B

B              E    B          F#      B
When there are hard times I'll step it up
               E         B          F#        B
When there are dangerous times I'll spot them up
             E       B       F#     B
I'll take my time to make up my own mind
   E      C#/F                  B       Ebm   C#m    B     
To set it up when the times are calling for a steady creed

         E    B    F#
How do I know it's time?
        E    B   F#
Even if I've got mine
              E    B  F#   E    Abm F#  Abm
'Cause if the wise do know what wis dom is
   Abm     B      F#    E         B     F#
If I could err on every good side every time

    B      F#
Out on the water
    E          F#7
A rider can ready
       B               F#
Though waves comes crashing
       E         F#7
A good board can steady
 B                           F#              E              F#7
I wouldn't ever want to bet upon the balance on what's going on
      B        F#       E        F#7
Would I? Would I? Would I? Would I?

B

B
Stay
             C#m
What's in my way?
             B
What's in my way?
                           F#7
Got to have it to get over it
B
Stay
             C#m
What's in my way?
             B
What's in my way?
                           F#7
Got to have it to get over it
B
Stay
             C#m
What's in my way?
             B
What's in my way?
                           F#7
Got to have it to get over it

B

B          E     B       F#     B
To have an empty fortune when I fear
          E      B       F#      B
To have a deadly weapon, as it's called
            E      B    F#        B       E
Which is an answer to a challenge made by anything
C#/F           B         Ebm         C#m      B
Then to always know just what things violence needs

How do I know its time?
Even if I got mine
'Cause if the wise do know what wisdom is
If I could err on every good side every time

Out on the water
A rider can ready
Though waves comes crashing
A good board can steady
I wouldn't ever want to bet upon the balance on what's going on
Would I? Would I? Would I? Would I?

F#7        B
Why wouldn I?

I see it up ahead
I've seen it all behind
I see it at the sides
Though I've no point to try

But if I could do
Then what I would do to you

I see it in the day
I see it in the night
I see it all the time
Though I might not desire

But if I could do
Then what I would do to you

But I don't want to sound as though I'm wishing
       E
Always wanting
       D
Always hoping
  A       G        D       A      G
I had not made the choices I have made
        C         Bb
Because what's in that?
A   G  F
One is gained
D   G
One lost

G                          F 
And still to say I've made grave mistakes
    G          F          Eb
And every upon every upon every
  Bb     Ab       Eb        Bb         Ab     C#     B
I think about and hope it's all worked out to either end

What acts

What cost

Cannot be destroyed with a friend's ring at the side

Don't break ties that hold them round the ring

Or natural than wanting to win
