There's a certain amount in almost everything you do.
1.
          D              Bdim
There's a certain risk involved
             D              Bdim
   in almost everything you do.
        D             G
There's danger in the course you take
           E             A
   and the one that you eschew.
          D              Bdim
There's a certain risk involved
             D                Bdim
   in almost every breath you take,
      D               F6
So no matter what you do
                 Em             A
   it's going to look like a mistake.

          D                Bdim
There's a certain price to pay
             D                  Bdim
   for every choice you make or don't.
        D               G
There's problems if you will
                 E                 A
   and there's obstructions if you won't.
  D             Am
A setback is forseeable.
          G               Gm
   You'll likely miss the boat,
    D                 G
And curse your luck until you find
      Bb          A
   it didn't stay afloat.

       D              Bdim
If you never took the chance
       D               Bdim
   you might be safer, but
    D              G
The day you didn't leave
               E           A
   you are the victim of a nut.
      D                 Am
We'll spare you now the details.
           G                 Gm
   You can catch the film at nine,
                  D              G
Watching from the safety of your living room,
          Gb            A     D
   Saying glad his life ain't mine.

His act of betrayal was unforgivable. Or was it?

Our multitude of

cruel and thoughtless acts?

How terrible is judgement!

      Dm7              C

are you sure

You'd have the will to follow

It's not really about Mary, Joseph, or the apostles, but about someone they knew.

1.

G     D     F        G

Gonna spend some time with James and Judas Alpheus
I think they know why I was made
5.
Gonna take the chance and listen to Matthew
Gonna ask Phillip what I can be
Gonna see if I can find Judas Iscariot
Maybe even he knows how to be free

Gonna ask 'em what I should do
Gonna visit with Simon Peter
I think he found out what's true

Short & Tall Tales

Talent is one thing. Skill in expressing one's talents is quite another

1.
Listen to your music, listen to your song,
Can't tap my foot, never sing along,

Noises that yer makin' chill my blood.
Gravel and mud! Gravel and mud!

Noise on top of noise! Noise on top of noise!
Gravel and mud! Gravel and mud!

2.
Bass is full of rumble, treble full of hiss,
Wonder if I'll tumble to the words I miss,

Noises that yer makin' sound like crud.
Gravel and mud! Gravel and mud!

Noise on top of noise! Noise on top of noise!
Gravel and mud! Gravel and mud!

3.
Monophonic melody leaves me wond'rin' if it rocks.
Sounds like you were poundin' on a cardboard box.

Could've been wecowded by Elmer Fudd.
You wascally wabbit, ooo, gwavel and mud.

Noise on top of noise! Noise on top of noise!
Gravel and mud! Gravel and mud!

4.
Used to you could do it but you' lost the touch. 
Maybe you been playin' with yourself too much.

Cause it's you on top of you as you whack your... guitar.
Gravel! Gravel and Mud!

Noise on top of Noise! Noise on top of Noise!
Gravel and Mud! Gravel and Mud!

Mindful Webworks | Short and Tall Tales | Gravel and Mud, page 2
5.
Quality recordings, heard 'em before.
I know you can do it, a time or two or more,

But this noise on top of noise when you overdud,
Gravel and mud! Gravel and mud!

Noise on top of noise! Noise on top of noise!
Gravel and mud! Gravel and mud!

6.
Crazy clever English, play guitar like the King,
Poundin' out the good licks; the boy knows how to sing.

But when yer reel-to-reelin' really starts to unravel,
Mud and Gravel! Mud and Gravel!

Noise on top of noise! Noise on top of noise!
Gravel and mud! Gravel and mud!

7.
Before you get bent out of shape because of what I said,
You ought to know yer crummy tape's been wearin' down my head!

I wouldn't be quite so concerned about your wayward soul
If you didn't act like you were God's gift to ROCK AND ROLL!

When it's just noise on top of noise! Noise on top of noise!
It's not ROCK AND ROLL BABY ROCK AND ROLL!

NOISE ON TOP OF NOISE! NOISE ON TOP OF NOISE!
NOISE ON TOP OF NOISE! NOISE ON TOP OF NOISE!

NOISE ON TOP OF NOISE ON TOP OF NOISE ON TOP OF NOISE ON TOP OF
ROCK AND ROLL BABY ROCK AND ROLL!

(carry on frantically with much prancing about until exhausted)
