Comin' Home
(Bolin/Coverdale/Paice)
From "Come Taste The Band" 1975.


         
  My mama showed me how to rock in the cradle
  But I learned how to roll along
  My papa said, son, gotta get some fun
  'Cause when your old it ain't too good on your own

  
  Been so long since you heard my song
  Gonna pick up my guitar and play
  Felt so bad when I had to leave you
  But I knew that I'd be back some day

                       
  So I'm comin' home
  
  To give you more than you bargained for
                      
  Comin' home

  No mistake I'm gonna shiver and shake
               
  Comin' home
     
  Gonna rock and roll and give you my soul
         
  Comin' home
        
  I got over the pain I'm comin' home again

  (Verse 2)
  Groovin' to American Bandstand
  B B onstage with Lucille
  The thrill is gone, but it won't be for long
  'Cause you know I like to play how you feel
  Now that we're back together
  Gonna shiver and shake all night
  I just gotta say the music I play
  Will sure 'nough make you feel alright

  (Verse 3)
  Though I learned how to rock in the cradle
  And rollin' came so easy to me
  From all the years I travelled the world
  Made it all so clear to see
  Been so long since you heard my song
  Gonna pick up my guitar and play
  Felt so bad when I had to leave you
  But I knew that I'd be back some day

  Comin' home
  To give you more than you bargined for
  Comin' home
  No mistake I'm gonna shiver and shake
  Comin' home
  Gonna rock and roll and give you my soul
  Comin' home
  I got over the pain I'm comin' home again
  Comin' home
  Shiver and shakin' anticpatin'
  Comin' home
  The thrill is gone but it won't be for long


Lady Luck
(Cook/Coverdale)
From "Come Taste The Band" 1975.


           

            
  She was a juke-box dancer
    
  A blue eyed gypsy queen
      
  She always had an answer
                 
  For what she'd done and where she'd been
    
  A feathercane Lady Midnight
      
  For all around to see
                     
  She spoke with words of wisdom
                       
  And this is what she said to me

       
  Lady luck
                            
  Come on give me what I want
          
  Pull me up
           
  Lady luck
               
  If I see you again
                             
  I will call you my friend

  (Verse 2)
  I have always been a sinner
  But then the lady came along
  She stole my heart and turned me 'round
  Till I didn't know right from wrong
  She whispered words of kindness
  I'd never ever heard before
  Golden words and silver tongue
  Till I really couldn't take no more

  Lady luck
  Come on give me what I want
  Pull me up
  Lady luck
  If I see you again
  I will call you my friend

  Come on shake me


Gettin' Tighter
(Bolin/Hughes)
From "Come Taste The Band" 1975.


          

       
  When night time comes
                            
  And I'm ten thousand miles away
           
        Just lose yourself
                                        
  And watch the band kick back and play


  
  Get up, keep in line
                                     
  It's gettin' tighter all the time
      
  You say you're feelin' fine
                              
  It's gettin' tighter all the time

  (Verse 2)
  Get a load off your mind
  This place is right, it's hard to find
  The mood is set alright
  It's gonna be a long long night

  (Verse 3)
  You keep  on spinnin' 'round
  You find it hard to touch the ground
  And time is all it takes
  You'll find it easy once you make

  
  Get up, keep in line
                                    
  It's gettin' tighter all the time
                
  Gettin' tighter

Solo

                           
  Gettin' tighter, gettin' tighter


Dealer
(Bolin/Coverdale)
From "Come Taste The Band" 1975.


      

                                
  If you fool around   with the dealer
                         
  Remember soon you'll have to pay
                               
  He'll creep behind you   like a hunter
                        
  Just to steal   your soul  away

  (Verse  2)
  I don't want no one messing with my woman
  But just the same, I don't see nobody fooling with you
  If you're snowblind Madonna can hold you
  But if you don't understand
  There is nothing she can do for you

                           
  Running from the dealer
                        
  Trying to save your soul

  I can feel the fire coming from inside you
  I know what it's like, 'cause I've been burned before
  Ain't no mercy In the hunger
  You're a fool to yourself
  'Cause your dealer keeps you begging for more

                           
  Running from the dealer
                      
  Trying to save your soul

                             
  In the beginning all you wanted
                         Emsus4    
  Was the calm before the storm
                           
  If the bluebird plays the eagle, yeah
                                  
  He finds his song will turn to stone

  I keep singing the same old song

  Like I did before

  When you left me, you left me in darkness

  I'd never known before

  I was restless, a fool for your time

  Waiting 'round for you to call

  But now I've found me an angel of mercy

  I don't feel bad at all

       
  Your body was honey, I tasted a lot
      
  But let me tell you babe, I need more than you got
    
  I want someone to hold me and keep me satisfied

         Riff
  I need love

  (Verse 2)
  I've got nothing to do, ain't got nothing to say
  Just live your life the way you know
  When you moved on you took all the sweetness
  Was I a fool to let you go

  With the woman I forget for the moment
  All the times we knew before
  Though I'm still singing that same old love song
  Don't want you knocking on my door

  Your body was honey, I tasted a lot
  But let me tell you babe, I need more than you got
  I want someone to hold me and keep me satisfied
  I need love


Drifter
(Bolin/Coverdale)
From "Come Taste The Band" 1975.


    

        
  I was born a rambling man
        
  And I never got the chance
                           
  To settle down and get a hold on love

  Takin' air and movin' around
     
  Is all that I seem to be doin'
            
  And it is bringin' me down

  (Verse 2)
  Drivin' on a highway going nowhere
  Desolation destination
  Guess I'll find it somewhere
  I know if there's trouble
  I ain't takin' the blame
  That's why I keep movin'
  So nobody knows my name

  Listen
                    
  Born a loser  I'm beyond the law
                  
  Women behind me, never can find me
           
  They can never get together

  What I've been here for
               
  'Cause I'm a drifter

Guitar solo: A

                    
  Born a loser  I'm beyond the law
                                  
  Women behind me, never can find me
                                    
  What a loser, maybe I'll choose her

Solo:   

                
  Rollin' on
                                     
  Rollin' on, ain't wastin' my time no more

  You can walk through fire
  Make the north wind blow
  Squeeze and tease me honey
  When you shake your body
             
  You move my soul, oh yeah

  (Verse 2)
  Let me be your lover
  Won't you let me be your child
  Take me through your universe
  You know that when you smile
  You drive me wild
  You got me shakin' all over

  You can ride your pony
  Daydream in fairy tales
  All I know is I need more
  When I see you dance the seven veils

  Ah, shake

This Time Around
(Hughes/Lord)
From "Come Taste The Band" 1975.


                   
  The world around us hangs in doubt
                           
  You face a crime that we'll hear about
                     /           
  To pay the cost would never be the same

                    
  Eternal lovers we're not to blame
                          
  There's no mistake there's no refrain
                          /
  The same surroundings that stood
                   
  Are here again this time

                           
  As I look around you can't be found
     
  To lose you I'd rather see
                               
  The endless time of space go passing by
            
  This time around
           
  This time around

                         
  So look around we all will be found
     
  In love

               
  To lose you I'd rather see
                                     
  The endless time of space go passing by

     
  Fly by

You Keep On Moving
(Bolin)
From "Come Taste The Band" 1975.

  
  You keep on moving
          
  Far away,  far away
  
  You, you keep on moving
          
  Far away,  far away

  
  Everyday wheels are turning
                     
  And the cry     still returning

  
  Dawn will soon be breaking
      
  The day has just begun
      
  You put your arms around me
         
  Like a circle 'round the sun
      
  You dance across the seasons
       
  To a place that no one knows
                    
  Where angels fear to   tread

Organ solo: Bm
