_ [E] A lot of the ways [Eb] that people communicate are cerebral, they go through the head.
One of the interesting things about music is it seems to plug directly into the emotion.
So I wasn't at all surprised when I heard that these Ugandan mothers couldn't get to their sons [G] in normal ways,
but when they started singing music, [F] it somehow touched them in a place that nothing else could reach.
[Gb] Music can do that, [Eb] and if we can make the chain and make the link here, I'm sure we can help to make a difference.
_ [Bb] _ _ [Ab] This is in the neighborhood, this is one of my favorite [D] Tom Waits [C] songs.
It's quite hymn-like, but he's such an amazing lyricist.
It's a really beautiful picture. _
Well, not beautiful, but a beautiful piece of writing. _
_ And [Eb] I've always liked it. _

_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
[Eb] The eggs chase the [Ab] bacon _ [Eb] round the frying pan
[Ab] _ _
[Eb] The whining [Cm] dog pigeons [Fm] by the steeple bell [Bb] roll
And [Eb] the dogs tip the [Ab] garbage pails _ [Eb] over last night _
[Eb] There's always _ [Cm] construction work [Fm] bothering [Bb] you _
[Gm] In the _ [Ab] neighborhood, in [Bb] the _ [Cm] neighborhood, in [Eb] the _ _ [Bb] neighborhood
_ [Eb] _ Big _ _ _ _ Mambo's [Ab] kicking _
_ [Eb] his old [Ab] greyhound _
[Eb] And the kids [Cm] can't get ice cream because [Fm] the market burned down
[Eb] And the newspaper [Ab] sleeping bags [Eb] are blowing down [Ab] the lane _
_ [Eb] _ Goddamn, the [Cm] flatbed has [Fm] got me pinned in again
In [Eb] the _ [Ab] neighborhood, in [Eb] the [Ab] neighborhood, _ in [Eb] the _ _ neighborhood
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ There's a couple of Filipino [Ab] girls _ [Eb] giggling by [Ab] the church
The [Eb] _ window is busted, _ [F] the landlord [Gm] ain't home
[Eb] The butch joined [Ab] the army, _ [Eb] that's where he's [Ab] been
And the _ [Cm] jackhammer's digging up [Fm] the sidewalks again
[Gm] In the _ [Ab] neighborhood, _ [Eb] in the [Cm] neighborhood, _ [Eb] in the _ [Bb] neighborhood
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Fm] _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
