After The Gold Rush 

Neil Young

----------

Well, I [G]dreamed I saw the knights in [C]armour coming, sayin' [G]something about a [C]queen.
There where [
G]peasants singin' and [D]drummers drummin' and the [C]archer split the [D]tree.
There was a [
Em]fanfare blowin' [F]to the sun that was [C]floating on the [F]breeze.
[
G]Look at Mother Nature [D]on the run in the [F]nineteen seven[C]ties
[
G]Look at Mother Nature [D]on the run in the [F]nineteen seven[C]tie
s


I was lying in a burned out basement
With the full moon in my eyes.
I was hoping for replacement
When the sun burst thru the sky.
There was a band playing in my head
And I felt like getting high.
I was thinking about what a
Friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie.
Thinking about what a
Friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie.
Well, I dreamed I saw the silver
Space ships flying
In the yellow haze of the sun,
There were children crying
And colors flying
All around the chosen ones.
All in a dream, all in a dream
The loading had begun.
They were flying Mother Nature's
Silver seed to a new home in the sun.
Flying Mother Nature's
Silver seed to a new home.

 


All My Love

Led Zeppelin
-----------

Am                     G                  Dm

Should I fall out of love, my fire in the night

Am             G                 D
to chase a feather in the wind
Within the glow that weaves a cloak of delight
there moves a thread that has no end, yeah
For many hours and days that pass ever soon
the tides have caused the flame to dim
At last, the arm is straight, the hand to the loom
Is this to end or just begin
C                      C/B                       Am         G    F     G
All of my love, all of my love, oh, all of my love to you, now

C                      C/B                       Am         G    F     Bb
All of my love, all of my love, oh, all of my love to you, now

The cup is raised, the toast is made yet again
One voice is clear above the din
Proud Aryan, one word my will to sustain
For me the cloth once more does spin

Oh, all of my love, all of my love
Oh, all of my love for you, now
All of my love, all of my love
Yes, all of my love to you, child

Yours is the cloth, mine is the hand that sews time
His is the force that lies within
Ours is the fire and all warmth we can find
He is a feather in the wind-a

Oh, all of my love, all of my love
Oh, all of my love to you, now
All of my love, oh-whoa, yes, all of my love to you, now
All of my love, all of my love, all of my lo-hove, lo-hove

Sometime, sometime, sometime, sometime
Oh, love, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, ooh-hoo, yeah, it's all, all, all, all
All of my love, all of my love, all of my love to you, now
All of my love, all of my love
All of my love to, to you and you and you and, yeah
I get a little bit lonely, just a little, just a little
Just a little bit lonely, yeah, just a little bit lonely-hey-hey
Hey-hey, hey, hey-hey, hey-hey

Angie, where will it lead us from here.
 
Oh Angie don't you weep all your kisses still taste sweet
I hate that sadness in your eyes but
Angie, Angie ain't it time we said goodbye
 
With no loving in our souls and no money in our coats
You can't say we're satisfied
But Angie, Angie, I still love you baby.

Babe I'm Gonna Leave You
Led Zeppelin

Babe, baby, baby, I'm gonna leave you
I said, baby, you know I'm gonna leave you
I'm leave you when the summertime
Leave you when the summer comes a-rollin'
Leave you when the summer comes along

Babe, babe, babe, babe, babe, babe, baby, mm-baby
I'll wanna leave you
I ain't jokin', woman, I've got to ramble
Oh, yeah, baby, baby, I will

I can hear it callin' me the way it used to do
Oh, I can hear it callin' me back ho-wome

Baby, oh, babe, I'm gonna leave you
Hoh, baby, you know I've really got to leave you
Oh, I can hear it callin' me
I said, don't you hear it callin' me

I said, that's when it's callin' me back home

 

Bad Moon Rising

Credence Clearwater Revival

------------------------

I see the bad moon arising.
I see trouble on the way.
I see earthquakes and lightnin’.
I see bad times today.

Chorus:
Don’t go around tonight,
Well, it’s bound to take your life,
There’s a bad moon on the rise.

I hear hurricanes ablowing.
I know the end is coming soon.
I fear rivers over flowing.
I hear the voice of rage and ruin.

Chorus
All right!

Hope you got your things together.
Hope you are quite prepared to die.
Looks like we’re in for nasty weather.
One eye is taken for an eye.

 


Banana Republics

Jimmy Buffett
-----------

G                                                Am

Down to the Banana Republics, down to the tropical sun

D                                             G    

Go the expatriated Americans, hopin' to find some fun

Some of them go for the sailing, caught by the lure of the sea

Tryin' to find what is ailing, livin' in the land of the free

Some of them are running from lovers, leaving no forward address

Some of them are running tons of ganja

Some are running from the I.R.S.

 
..
Dm

Late at night you will find them

Am

In the cheap hotels and bars

C                 G     C                      G        D                 G

Hustling the senoritas while they dance beneath the stars

Dm                                                           Eb |x68886|         D   

Spending those renegade pesos on a bottle of rum and a lime

C                                                  G

Singin' give me some words I can dance to

 C       G           D7      G

Or a melody that rhymes

 

First you learn the native customs

soon a word of spanish or two

You know that you cannot trust them

'Cause they know they can't trust you

Expatriated Americans feelin' so all alone

Telling themselves the same lies

That they told themselves back home

Down to the Banana Republics, things aren't as warm as they seem

None of the natives are buying any second-hand American dreams

 

Chorus

 

Down to the Banana Republics, down to the tropical sun

Go the expatriated Americans hopin' to find some fun

 



Battle of Evermore
Led Zeppelin
-----------

The Queen of Light took her bow, and then she turned to go
The Prince of Peace embraced the gloom
and walked the night alone
Oh, dance in the dark of night, sing 'till the mornin' light
The Dark Lord rides in force tonight
and time will tell us haw-all
Oh, throw down your plow and hoe, rest not to lock your home
Side by side, we await the might of the darkest of them all
Oh-ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa-oh-oh

I hear the horses' thunder down in the valley below
I'm waitin' for the angels of Avalon
Waitin' for the eastern glow

The apples of the valley hold the seeds of happiness
The ground is rich from tender care
Repay, do not forget, no, no
Oh, dance in the dark of night, sing to the morning light
The apples turn to brown and black, the tyrant's face is red
Ho, now/Oh, war is the common cry, pick up your swords and fly
The sky is filled with good and bad mortals never know
Now, oh-ho, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ahh/Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-ooh-oh-oh

Oh, well, the night is long, the beads of time pass slow
Tired eyes on the sunrise, waitin' for the eastern glow

The pain of war cannot exceed the woe of aftermath
The drums will shake the castle wall
The Ringwraiths ride in black, ride on
Oh, sing as you raise your bow/Ride on
Shoot straighter than before
No comfort has the fire at night that lights the face so cold
Dance in the dark of night, sing 'till the mornin' light
The magic runes are writ in gold to bring the balance back
Bring it back

At last, the sun is shining, the clouds of blue roll by
A-with flames from the dragon of darkness
The sunlight blinds his eyes, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-oh-ho, ooh, ooh-ooh, aaah/oooh-ooh-ooh-uh-uhh

Bring it back, bring it back, a-bring it back, bring it back
Bring it back, bring it back, bring it back, bring it back
Oh, now, oh, now, oh, now, oh, oh, now, oh, now, oh, now
Bring it back, bring it back, bring it back, a-bring it back
Whoa, now, oh, now, oh, now, oh, whoa, now, oh, now, oh, now
Bring it, bring it, bring it, bring it
Bring it, bring it, bring it, bring it
Bring it, bring it, bring it, bring it, bring it

Begin the Begin

R.E.M.

 

Birdie in the hand for life’s rich demand
The insurgency began and you missed it
I looked for it and I found it
Miles standish proud, congratulate me

A philanderer’s tie, a murderer’s shoe

Life’s rich demand creates supply in the hand
Of the powers, the only vote that matters
Silence means security silence means approval
On zenith, on the tv, tiger run around the tree
Follow the leader, run and turn into butter

Let’s begin again, begin the begin
Let’s begin again like martin luther zen
The mythology begins the begin

Answer me a question I can’t itemize
I can’t think clearly, look to me for reason
It’s not there, I can’t even rhyme in the begin

A philanderer’s tie, a murderer’s shoe
Example: the finest example is you

Birdie in the hand for life’s rich demand
The insurgency began and you missed it
I looked for it and I found it
Miles standish proud, congratulate me

A philanderer’s tie, a murderer’s shoe
Let’s begin again begin the begin
Let’s begin again

 

 

Blue Suede Shoes

Carl Perkins

------------

Well, it's [A]one for the money,
[
A]Two for the show,
[
A]Three to get ready,
Now go, cat, go.

But [D7]don't you step on my blue suede [A7]shoes.
You can [
E7]do anything but lay off of my Blue suede [A7]shoes.

Well, you can knock me down,
Step in my face,
Slander my name
All over the place.

Do anything that you want to do, but uh-uh,
Honey, lay off of my shoes

 

Don't you step on my Blue suede shoes.
You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes.

You can burn my house,
Steal my car,
Drink my liquor
From an old fruitjar.

Do anything that you want to do, but uh-uh,
Honey, lay off of my shoes
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes.
You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes.

 


Brain Damage

Pink Floyd
----------

The lunatic is on the grass.
The lunatic is on the grass.
Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs.
Got to keep the loonies on the path.

The lunatic is in the hall.
The lunatics are in my hall.
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor
And every day the paper boy brings more.

And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forebodings too
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon.
The lunatic is in my head.
The lunatic is in my head
You raise the blade, you make the change
You re-arrange me 'til I'm sane.
You lock the door
And throw away the key
There's someone in my head but it's not me.

And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear
You shout and no one seems to hear.
And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon.

 

 

Break on Through

The Doors
----------

 

Em/D

You know the day destroys the night
Night divides the day
Tried to run
Tried to hide
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side, yeah

We chased our pleasures here
Dug our treasures there
But can you still recall
The time we cried
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side

Yeah!
C’mon, yeah

Everybody loves my baby
Everybody loves my baby
She get, She gets, She gets,She get high

I found an island in your arms
Country in your eyes
Arms that chain us
Eyes that lie
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Break on through, oww!
Oh, yeah!

Made the scene
Week to week
Day to day
Hour to hour
The gate is straight
Deep and wide
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Break on through,Break on through, Break on through
Break on through
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

 

 

Burnin' Love

Elvis

D

Lord almighty,

G                 A                    D
I feel my temperature rising
Higher higher
It's burning through to my soul

Girl, girl, girl
You gonna set me on fire
My brain is flaming
I don't know which way to go
 
        Bm     A        G
Your kisses lift me higher
Like the sweet song of a choir
You light my morning sky
A                     D

With burning love

Ooh, ooh, ooh,
I feel my temperature rising
Help me, I'm flaming
I must be a hundred and nine
Burning, burning, burning
And nothing can cool me
I just might turn into smoke
But I feel fine


 

Cause your kisses lift me higher
Like a sweet song of a choir
And you light my morning sky
With burning love

It's coming closer
The flames are reaching my body
Please won't you help me
I feel like I'm slipping away
It's hard to breath
And my chest is a-heating

Lord almighty,
I'm burning a hole where I lay
Cause your kisses lift me higher
Like the sweet song of a choir
You light my morning sky
With burning love
With burning love
Ah, ah, burning love
I'm just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love

 

The Captain and the Kid
Jimmy Buffett
-----------

D                         G

I never used to miss the chance

D                             G

To climb upon his knee

D                               G

Listen to the many tales

E                          Am

Of life upon the sea

F#m                                 G

We'd go sailin' back on Barkentines

F#m                            G

An' talk of things he did

F#m                      G

Tomorrow just a day away

             EM         A7         D

For the captain and the kid

 

 

His world had gone from sailin' ships

To rakin' mom's backyard

He never could adjust to land

Although he tried so hard

We both were growin' older then

Wiser with our years

That's when I came to understand

The course his heart still steered

 

He died about a month ago

While winter filled the air

And though I cried I was so proud

To love a man so rare

He's somewhere on the ocean now

A place he outta be

With one hand on the starboard rail

He's wavin' back at me

 

 

I never used to miss the chance

To climb upon his knee

Listen to his many tales

Of life upon the sea

We'd go sailin' back on Barkentines

Talk of things he did

The world was just a day away

For the captain and the kid

For the captain

And this kid

 

 

 

Cats In The Cradle

Harry Chapin

------------

My child arrived just the other day
He came to the world in the usual way
But there were planes to catch and bills to pay
He learned to walk while I was away
And he was talkin' 'fore I knew it, and as he grew
He'd say "I'm gonna be like you dad
You know I'm gonna be like you"

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
When you comin' home dad?
I don't know when, but we'll get together then son
You know we'll have a good time then

My son turned ten just the other day
He said, "Thanks for the ball, Dad, come on let's play
Can you teach me to throw", I said "Not today
I got a lot to do", he said, "That's ok"
And he walked away but his smile never dimmed
And said, "I'm gonna be like him, yeah
You know I'm gonna be like him"

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
When you comin' home son?
I don't know when, but we'll get together then son
You know we'll have a good time then
Well, he came home from college just the other day
So much like a man I just had to say
"Son, I'm proud of you, can you sit for a while?"
He shook his head and said with a smile
"What I'd really like, Dad, is to borrow the car keys
See you later, can I have them please?"

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
When you comin' home son?
I don't know when, but we'll get together then son
You know we'll have a good time then

I've long since retired, my son's moved away
I called him up just the other day
I said, "I'd like to see you if you don't mind"
He said, "I'd love to, Dad, if I can find the time
You see my new job's a hassle and kids have the flu
But it's sure nice talking to you, Dad
It's been sure nice talking to you"

And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me
He'd grown up just like me
My boy was just like me

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
When you comin' home son?
I don't know when, but we'll get together then son
You know we'll have a good time then

 

 

Cecilia

Simon & Garfunkel

------------------------

Cecilia, you're breaking my heart
You're shaking my confidence daily
Oh, Cecilia, I'm down on my knees
I'm begging you please to come home

Cecilia, you're breaking my heart
You're shaking my confidence daily
Oh, Cecilia, I'm down on my knees
I'm begging you please to come home
Come on home

Making love in the afternoon with Cecilia
Up in my bedroom (making love)
I got up to wash my face
When I come back to bed
Someone's taken my place
Cecilia, you're breaking my heart
You're shaking my confidence daily
Oh, Cecilia, I'm down on my knees
I'm begging you please to come home
Come on home

Jubilation, she loves me again,
I fall on the floor and I'm laughing,
Jubilation, she loves me again,
I fall on the floor and I'm laughing

Got to be a joker he just do what he please

One thing I can tell you is you got to be free
Come together right now over me

 

He bag production he got walrus gumboot
He got ono sideboard he one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knee
Hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease
Come together right now over me

He roller-coaster he got early warning
He got muddy water he one mojo filter
He say "one and one and one is three"
Got to be good-looking ’cause he’s so hard to see
Come together right now over me

 

 

Comfortably Numb

Pink Floyd
----------

Bm

Hello?

                              A
Is there anybody in there?

                                  G       F#   Em
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone at home?
Come on, now,
I hear you're feeling down.
Well I can ease your pain
Get you on your feet again.
Relax.
I'll need some information first.
Just the basic facts.
Can you show me where it hurts?
D/A/D/A  C/G/C/G
There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship, smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying.
When I was a child I had a fever
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I've got that feeling once again
I can't explain you would not understand
This is not how I am.


A G/B  C    G     D

I have become comfortably numb.

O.K.
Just a little pinprick.
There'll be no more aaaaaaaaah!
But you may feel a little sick.
Can you stand up?
I do believe it's working, good.
That'll keep you going through the show
Come on it's time to go.

There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship, smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying.
When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown,
The dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb.

 

Dancing Days
Led Zeppelin

 

D

C                                C#

Dancing days are here again

            C                        G
As the summer evenings grow
I got my flower, I got my power
I got a woman who knows.


C
I said it’s alright

B
You know it’s alright
A

I  guess it’s all in my heart

You’ll be my only, my one and only
Is that the way it should start?

 

Crazy ways are evident
In the way that you’re wearing your clothes
Suppin’ boze is precedent
As the evening starts to glow.

 

Chorus

I told your mamma I’d get you home
But I didn’t tell her I had no car
I saw a lion he was standing alone
With a tadpole in a jar.

Chorus

Dancing days are here again
As the summer evening grows
You are my flower, you are my power
You are my woman who knows.

Chorus

 

Darkness, Darkness

Robert Plant
-----------

Am/G/Am/G/D/G
Darkness, Darkness, be my pillow, Take my head and let me sleep
In the coolness of your shadow, In the silence of your deep
Darkness, darkness, hide my yearning, For the things I cannot see
Keep my mind from constant turning, To the things I cannot be
Darkness, darkness, be my blanket, cover me with the endless night
Take away the pain of knowing, fill the emptiness with light
Emptiness with light now

Darkness, darkness, long and lonesome, Is the day that brings me here
I have felt the edge of sadness, I have known the depths of fear
Darkness, darkness, be my blanket, Cover me with the endless night
Take away this pain of knowing, Fill this emptiness with light now
Emptiness with light now

Darkness, darkness, be my blanket, cover me with the endless night
Take away this pain of knowing, fill this emptiness with light now
Oh with light now.
Darkness, Darkness, be my pillow, Take my head and let me sleep
In the coolness of your shadow, In the silence of your deep
In the silence of your deep
In the - oh oh yeah
In the summer baby
come on come on come on baby...

El Condor Pasa

Simon & Garfunkel

---------------------

I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail
Yes I would, if I could, I surely would
I'd rather be a hammer than a nail
Yes I would, if I only could, I surely would

Away, I'd rather sail away
Like a swan that's here and gone
A man gets tied up to the ground
He gives the world its saddest sound
Its saddest sound

I'd rather be a forest than a street
Yes I would, if I could, I surely would
I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet
Yes I would, if I only could, I surely would

For What It's Worth
Buffalo Springfield
----------------

There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware

I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind

I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

What a field-day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side
It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away

We better stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, now, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

Oh, baby, it's cryin' time, oh, baby, I've got to fly
Got to try to find a way, got to try to get away
'cause you know, I gotta get away from you, babe

Oh, baby, the river's red, aw, baby, in my head
There's a funny feeling goin' on
I don't think I can hold out long

And when the owls cry in the night
Oh, baby, baby, when the pines begin to cry
Baby, baby, baby, how do you feel
If the rivers run dry, baby, how would you feel

Craze, baby, mm, the rainbow's end
Hoo, baby, it's just a den for those who hide
a-hide their loves to depths of lies
and ruined dreams that we all knew so, babe

And when the owls cry in the night
And, baby, when the pines begin to cry
Oh, baby, baby, how do you feel
If the rivers run dry, baby, how will you feel

Ah-ahh, ah-ah-ahh-ay
Ahh-ahh-ahh, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ahh-ah-ah-ahh, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah
Baby, how do you feel

Oh, yeah, brave I endure
Woo, yeah, strong shields and lore
N-they can't hold the wrath of those who walk
in the boots of those who march
baby, through the roads of time so long ago

If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
For I must be traveling on, now,
'Cause there's too many places I've got to see.

Things just couldn't be the same.
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now,
And this bird you can not change.
And this bird you can not change.
And this bird you can not change.
Lord knows, I can't change.
Bye, bye, baby its been a sweet love.
Though this feeling I can't change.
But please don't take it so badly,
'Cause Lord knows I'm to blame.
But, if I stayed here with you girl,
Things just couldn't be the same.
Cause I'm as free as a bird now,
And this bird you'll never change.
And this bird you can not change.
And this bird you can not change
Lord knows, I can't change.

But he knew it wouldn’t last.

For some california grass.

Get back to where you once belonged.
Get back jojo. go home

All the girls around her say she’s got it coming
But she gets it while she can
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged.

Get back loretta
Your mother’s waiting for you
Wearing her high-heel shoes
And her low-neck sweater
Get on home loretta
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged.


 

Ghost Riders in the Sky

Johnny Cash

-----------

An old cowpoke went ridin' out one dark and windy day,
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way
When all at once a mighty herd of red eyed cows he saw
Come rushin' through the ragged skies and up a cloudy draw.

Yipie i ay Yipie i oh
Ghost riders in the sky

Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel
Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath you could feel
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky
He saw the riders coming hard... and he heard their mournful cry

Yipie i ay Yipie i oh
Ghost riders in the sky.
Their face is gaunt their eyes were blurred their shirts all soaked
with sweat
They're ridin' hard to catch that herd but they 'aint caught 'em yet
'cause they've got to ride forever in the range up in the sky
On horses snorting fire as they ride hard hear them cry

Yipie i ay Yipie i oh
Ghost riders in the sky.

The riders leaned on by him he heard one call his name
If you want to save your soul from hell a riding on our range
Then cow-boy change your ways today or with us you will ride
Tryin' to catch this devil herd.... a-cross these endless
skies.

Yipie i ay Yipie i oh
Ghost riders in the sky. Ghost riders in the sky.


Going to California
Led Zeppelin
-----------

Spend my days with a woman unkind
Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine
Made up my mind, make a new start
Goin' to California with an achin' in my heart
Someone told me there's a girl out there
with love in her eyes and flowers in her hair

Took my chances on a big jet-plane
Never let 'em tell ya that they're aw-ooh-all the same
Hoh, the sea was red and the sky was grey
I wonder how tomorrow could ever follow today-hee
Mountains and the canyons start to tremble and shake
The children of the sun begin to awake
Now Watch out

It seems that the wrath of the gods got a punch on the nose and it's startin' to flow, I think I might be sinkin'
Throw me a line, if I reach it in time
Meet you up there where the path runs straight and high

Find a queen without a king
They say she plays guitar and cries and sings, la-la-la-la
Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn
Tryin' to find a woman who's never, never, never been born
Standin' on a hill in the mountain of dreams
Tellin' myself it's not as hard, hard, hard as it seems
Mm-mm, now
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ahh

Heartbreaker
Led Zeppelin
-----------

Hey, fellas, have ya heard the news
Ya know that Annie's back in town
It won't take long, just watch and see
all the fellas lay their money down
Her style is new but the face is the same as it was so long ago
but from her eyes, a different smile like of the one who knows

Well, it's been ten years or maybe more
since I first set eyes on you
The best years of my life gone by, here I am alone and blue
Some people cry and some people die by the wicked ways of love
but I'll just keep on rollin' along
with the grace from the Lord above

People talkin' all around 'bout the way you left me flat
I don't care what the people say, I know where their jive is at
A-one thing I do have on my mind
If you could clarify, please do
It's the way you call me another guy's name
when I try to make love to you, yeah
I try to make love, it ain't no use
A-give it to me, a-give it

Mm, worked so hard I couldn't unwind, get some money saved
Abuse my love a thousand times however hard I've tried
Heartbreaker, your time has come, can't take your evil way
Go away, heartbreaker, heartbreaker, heartbreaker, heart



Hey Hey What Can I Do
Led Zeppelin
-----------

Wanna tell you 'bout the girl I love
M-my, she look so fine
and she's the only one that I been dreamin' of
Maybe someday she will be all mine
I wanna tell her that I love her so
I thrill with her every touch
I need to tell her she's the only one I really love

I got a woman, wan' ball all day, yeah
I got a woman, she won't be true, no
I got a woman, stay drunk all the time
I said, I got a little woman and she won't be true

And Sunday mornin', when we go down to church
See the men-folk standin' in line
Don't say they come to pray to the Lord
not when my little girl looks so fine
And in the evenin' when the sun is sinkin' low

Hey hey, my my
Rock and roll can never die
There's more to the picture
Than meets the eye.
Hey hey, my my.

Out of the blue
and into the black
You pay for this,
but they give you that
And once you're gone,
you can't come back
When you're out of the blue
and into the black.

The king is gone
but he's not forgotten
Is this the story
of Johnny Rotten?
It's better to burn out
'cause rust never sleeps
The king is gone
but he's not forgotten.

Hey hey, my my
Rock and roll can never die
There's more to the picture
Than meets the eye.

Hotel California

Eagles
------

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway;
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself,
'This could be Heaven or this could be Hell'
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor,
I thought I heard them say...
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year, you can find it here
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

So I called up the Captain,
'Please bring me my wine'
He said,'We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine'


And still those voices are calling from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say...
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise, bring your alibis
Mirrors on the ceiling,
The pink champagne on ice
And she said 'We are all just prisoners here, of our own device'
And in the master's chambers,
They gathered for the feast
The stab it with their steely knives,
But they just can't kill the beast
Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
'Relax,'said the night man,
We are programmed to receive.
You can checkout any time you like,
but you can never leave!

 

 

Horse With No Name

America
------

       Em                D6/9


On the first part of the journey
I was lookin at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There were sand and hills and rings

The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
and the sky with no clouds
the heat was hot and the ground was dry
but the air was full of sound

Chorus
 Em9                              Dmaj9

I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
it felt good to be out of the rain
in the desert you can remember your name
'cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
la la la  la lalala   la la  la  la la

 



After two days in the desert sun
my skin began to turn red
After three days in the desert fun
I was looking at a river bed
And the story it told of a river that flowed
made me sad to think it was dead

chorus

After nine days I let the horse run free
'cause the desert had turned to sea
there were plants and birds and rocks and things
there were sand and hills and rings
The ocean is a desert with it's life underground
and the perfect disguise above
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
but the humans will give no love

 

 

 

 

House of the Rising Sun

Animals

--------

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one

My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new bluejeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans

Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk

------ organ solo ------

Oh mother tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun

Well, I got one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain

Well, there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one

Try to kill it all away

I cannot repair

the feeling disappears
you are someone else

If I Were A Carpenter
Robert Plant
-----------

If I were a carpenter, and you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway? would you have my baby?
If a tinker were my trade, would you still find me
Carrying the pots I made - following behind me?
Save my love through loneliness - save my love through sorrow
I give you my only-ness - give me your tomorrow

If I worked my hands in wood, would you still love me?
Answer me, babe: "yes I would - I'd put you above me"
If a miller were my trade, at a mill wheel grinding
Would you miss your colour box - your soft shoes shining
Save my love through loneliness - save my love through sorrow
I give you my only-ness - come give me your tomorrow

If I were a carpenter, and you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway? would you have my baby?
Would you marry me anyway? would you have my baby?

Only you can cool my desire

Edgy and dull and cut a six-inch valley
Through the middle of my soul

Hey little girl is your daddy home
Did he go away and leave you all alone

Immigrant Song
Led Zeppelin
-----------


Ah-ah-ahh-ah, ah-ah-ahh-ah
We come from the land of the ice and snow
from the midnight sun where the hot springs blow

The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands
To fight the horde and sing and cry, "Valhalla, I am coming"

On we sweep with, with threshing oar
Our only goal will be the western shore

Ah-ah-ahh-ah, ah-ah-ahh-ah
We come from the land of the ice and snow
from the midnight sun where the hot springs blow

How soft your fields, so green
can whisper tales of gore, of how we calmed the tides of war
We are your overlords

On we sweep with threshing oar
Our only goal will be the western shore

S-so now you better stop and rebuild all your ruins
for peace and trust can win the day despite of all you're losin'
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ahh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh



In the Evening
Led Zeppelin
-----------

In the evenin', when the day is done
I'm lookin' for a woman, oh, but the girl don't come
So don't let her play you for no fool
A-she don't show no pity, baby
You know that she don't make no rule

Oh, I need your love, I need your love
Oh, I need your love, I've just gotta have

So don't you let her, oh, get under your skin
It's only bad luck and trouble
Oh, from the day that she'll begin
I hear you cryin' in the darkness, mm-don't ask nobody's help
Oh, ain't no pockets full of mercy, baby
'cause you can only blame yourself

Oh, I need your love, oh, oh, I need your love
Ooh, yeah, I need your love, I've gotta have

Ooh, it's simple, all the pain that you'll go through
You can't turn away from fortune, fortune, fortune
'cause that's all that's left to you
Hey, it's lonely at the bottom, man, it's dizzy at the top
but when you're standin' in the middle, oh-ho-oh
Ain't no way you gonna stop, oh, babe

Oh, oh, I need your love, oh, oh, I need your love
Oh, oh, I need your love, I've gotta have

Ooh, whatever that your days may bring
there's no use hidin' in the corner, ah, oh, no
Honey, that won't change a thing
If you're dancin' in the doldrums
One day soon it's got to stop, it's got to stop
You're master of the off-chance when you don't expect a lot, oh

Oh, I need your love, oh, oh, I need your love
Ooh, yeah, I need your love, I've gotta have, I've gotta have
Oh, baby, I've gotta have your love, I've gotta have
Oh, baby, I've gotta have your lo-wove, oh-whoa, I do, girl
Ohh, ohh, I've gotta have your love
Just got, I've just got to, I've just got to, oh, love
Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh

Kashmir
Led Zeppelin
-----------

Whoa, let the sun beat down upon my face
with stars to fill my dream
I am a traveler of both time and space to be where I have been
Sit with elders of a gentle race this world has seldom seen
who talk of days for which they sit in wait
All will be revealed

Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace
Sounds caress my ear
Though not a word I heard could I relate
the story was quite clear, whoa-oh-hoh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh

Oooh, oh, baby, I've been flyin' low, yeah
A-mama, there ain't no denyin'
Oh, oooh yes, I've been flyin'
Mama, ain't no denyin', no denyin', no

Oh, all I see turns to brown as the sun burns the ground
and my eyes fill with sand as I scan this wasted land
Tryin' to find, tryin' to find where I've been, ah-ah, ah-ah


Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace
like thoughts inside a dream
who hid the path that led me to that place
with yellow desert screen
My Shangri-La beneath the summer moon, I will return again
sure as the dust that blows high in June
when movin' through Kashmir

Oh, father of the four winds, fill my sails
'cross the sea of years
with no provision but an open face along the straits of fear
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh-hoh, oh, ohh

Wha, when I'm on, when I'm on my way, yeah
When I see, when I see the way you stay, yeah-eah
Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, well, I'm down, oh
Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, well, I'm down, so down
Ooh, my baby, ooh, my baby, let me take you there
Oh, oh, come on, come on, oh, let me take you there
Let me take you there, woo, yeah-yeah, woo, yeah-yeah
Let me take you there, let me take you there

 


Keep On Rockin' In The Free World
Neil Young

----------

There's colors on the street   Red, white and blue
People shufflin' their feet   People sleepin' in their shoes
But there's a warnin' sign   on the road ahead
There's a lot of people sayin'  we'd be better off dead
Don't feel like Satan, but I am to them
So I try to forget it, any way I can.

Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world.

I see a woman in the night With a baby in her hand
Under an old street light Near a garbage can
Now she puts the kid away, and she's gone to get a hit
She hates her life, and what she's done to it
There's one more kid that will never go to school
Never get to fall in love,    never get to be cool.

Keep on rockin' in the free world, Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world, Keep on rockin' in the free world.

We got a thousand points of light For the homeless man
We got a kinder, gentler, Machine gun hand
We got department stores and toilet paper
Got styrofoam boxes for the ozone layer
Got a man of the people, says keep hope alive
Got fuel to burn, got roads to drive.

Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world.

Go walking in these spooky old woods alone. Owoooooooo!

What big eyes you have, The kind of eyes that drive wolves mad.

So just to see that you don't get chased I think I ought to walk with you for a ways.

What full lips you have. They're sure to lure someone bad.

So until you get to grandma's place I think you ought to walk with me and be safe.
I'm gonna keep my sheep suit on Until I'm sure that you've been shown

That I can be trusted walking with you alone.Owoooooooo!

 

Little Red Riding Hood

I'd like to hold you if I could

But you might think I'm a big bad wolf so I won't. Owoooooooo!
What a big heart I have-the better to love you with.

Little Red Riding Hood

Even bad wolves can be good.

I'll try to be satisfied just to walk close by your side.

Maybe you'll see things my way before we get to grandma's place.
Little Red Riding Hood

You sure are looking good

You're everything that a big bad wolf could want.Owoooooooo! I mean baaaaaa! Baaa?

Lola

The Kinks

 

     E
I met her in a club down in old Soho
             A                                         D                           E
where you drink champagne and it tastes just like coca cola
            A   Asus4 A
   C-O-L-A, cola
       E
   She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
     A                           D                         E
   I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said Lola
            A     D             C     C  D   E
   L-O-L-A, Lola,   Lo lo lo lo lola


Well I’m not the world’s most physical guy
But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine
Oh my lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola
Well I’m not dumb but I can’t understand
Why she walked like a woman and talked like a man
Oh my lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola

  CHORUS:
   -------
           B
   Well we drank champagne and danced all night
   F#
   under electric candlelight
       A
   She picked me up and sat me on her knee
  
   and said 'Dear boy, won't you come home with me'

Well I’m not the world’s most passionate guy
But when I looked in her eyes well I almost fell for my lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola
Lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola
 
   BRIDGE:
   -------
     A      C#m  B
   I pushed her away
     A      C#m    B
   I walked to the door
     A    C#m    B
   I fell to the floor
         E    G#m   C#m
   I got down on my knees
        B
   Then I looked at her and she at me
  


Well that’s the way that I want it to stay
And I always want it to be that way for my lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo lola
Girls will be boys and boys will be girls
It’s a mixed up muddled up shook up world except for lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo lola

Well I left home just a week before
And I’d never ever kissed a woman before
But lola smiled and took me by the hand
And said dear boy I’m gonna make you a man

Well I’m not the world’s most masculine man
But I know what I am and I’m glad I’m a man
And so is lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola
Lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola

Love Song (Down by the River)

Drews/Stuckey

 

I woke from a dream in the middle of the night

another tiny part of me just died

and every little girl takes another part

this little girl she stole my heart

 

It's my own damn fault, I can't blame anyone

If you can't stand the heat, back away from the sun

The only thing to do is to run and run and run

 

In my dreams and everywhere

her deep drown eyes and her golden hair

i'll never forget that terrible day

when she packed up her bags and she moved away

 

I might be might my fault, but I don't blame anyone

If you can't stand the heat, back away from the sun

The only thing to do is to run and run and run

Stood outside in the pouring rain

prayed to God that I would see you again

the sun don't shine and the birds don't sing

waiting for the ******* ****** phone to ring

 

I might be might my fault, but I don't owe anyone

Why can't a guy just have a little fun

Why shoud I be the one to run

 

The more I think about it the madder I get

This might not be the end of it yet

You think I'm fool, you etter think again

Now you're gonna see just what I am

 

Meet me down by the river and you know we'll have some fun

Just you and me and my 44 mag-i-num

It just might be your turn to run...

 


Mad World

Tears for Fears

--------------

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places
Worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going no where
Going no where
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression
No expression
Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow
No tomorrow
No tomorrow
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles its a very very
Mad world
Mad world
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
And I feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen
Sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me
No one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what’s my lesson
Look right through me
Look right through me
And I find I kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles its a very very
Mad world
Mad world
Enlarging your world
Mad world


 

Margaritaville
Jimmy Buffett
-----------

Nibblin' on sponge cake

Watchin' the sun bake

All of those tourists covered with oil

Strummin' my six-string

On my front porch swing

Smell those shrimp they're beginnin' to boil

Wastin' away again in Margaritaville

Searching for my lost shaker of salt

Some people claim that there's a woman to blame

But I know it's nobody's fault

I don't know the reason

I stayed here all season

Nothin' to show but this brand new tattoo

But it's a real beauty

A Mexican cutie

How it got here I haven't a clue

Wastin' away again in Margaritaville

Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt

Some people claim that there's a woman to blame

Now I think

Hell, it could be my fault

 

I blew out my flip-flop

Stepped on a pop-top

Cut my heel had to cruise on back home

But there's booze in the blender

And soon it will render

That frozen concoction that helps me hang on

Wastin' away again in Margaritaville

Searching for my lost shaker of salt

Some people claim that there's a woman to blame

But I know it's my own damn fault

Yes and some people claim that there's a woman to blame

And I know it's my own damn fault

Misty Mountain Hop
Led Zeppelin
-----------

Walkin' in the park just the other day, baby
What d'ya, what d'ya think I saw
Crowds of people sittin' on the grass
with flowers in their hair said, "Hey, boy, do you wanna score"

And y'know how it is
I really don't know what time it was, whoa-ho-ho
So I asked 'em if I could stay a while

I didn't notice but it had got very dark and I was really
really outta my mind
Just then, a policeman stepped up to me
Asked us, said, please, hey, would we care
to all get in line, get in line

Well, y'know, they asked us to stay for tea and have some fun
Ho-ho-ho, he said that his friends would all drop by
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Why don't you take a good look at yourself
and describe what you see
and baby, baby, baby, do ya like it
There you sit, sittin' spare like a book on a shelf rustin'
Ah, not tryin' to fight it

You really don't care if they're comin', whoa-ho-ho
I know that it's only a state of mind
Oh, whoa, whoa, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

If you go down in the streets today, baby, you better
you better open your eyes, whoa, whoa, yeah
Folk down there really don't care, really don't care
don't care, really don't, which, which way the pressure lies
So I've decided what I'm gonna do, now

So I'm packin' my bags for the Misty Mountains
where the spirits go, now
Woo-over the hills where the spirits fly
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-hoo-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-hoo-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-hoo-ooh
I really don't know, know, know, know, know, know, know
I really don't know, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I really don't know

 

Morning Dew
Robert Plant

Walk me out in the morning dew, my honey
Walk me out in the morning dew today
I can't walk you out in the morning dew, my honey
I can't walk you out in the morning dew at all

Thought I heard a young girl crying, mama
Thought I heard a young girl cry today
Oh I did not hear no young girl crying, mama, mama, mama
I did not hear no young girl cry at all

Thought I heard a young boy crying
I thought I heard a young boy cry today
Oh I did not hear no young boy crying
Oh I didn't hear no young boy cry
Now there is no more morning dew
Now there is no more morning dew
What they've been saying all these years was not true
Now there is no more morning dew
No, no, no, no more - no, no, no, no more
No more morning dew
No more morning dew

Well, I'm a motherless child; I don't know right from wrong.

Please tell me pretty mama, honey where'd you stay last night?
Please tell me pretty mama, honey where'd you stay last night?
Well, you didn't come home till the sun was shining bright.

I had to go so far girl to get my ham bones boiled.

Well, he's had a lotta women, gonna let my ham bones burn.

Well, I did more for you, girl, than your daddy ever done.
Well, I did more for you, girl, than your daddy ever done.
Well, I give you my jelly, he ain't give you none.

And when you see two women, always running hand in hand.
When you see two women, always running hand in hand.
You can bet your bottom dollar, one got the other one's man.

Lord, I'm going to the river, get me a tangled rocking chair.
I'm going to the river, get me a tangled rocking chair.
And if the blues overtake me, gonna rock away from here.
 

MOTHER'S LITTLE HELPER 

ROLLING STONES 

C            Am        D        Em 

What a drag it is getting old 

 

(Em) "Kids are different today," 

I hear every mother say 

Mother needs something today to calm her (F) down (D)

And though she's (G) not really ill 

There's a (C) little yellow pill 

 

She goes (Am) running for the (As2) shelter  

Of a (Am)mother's little helper (As2)

 

(Em) And it helps her on her way 

Gets her through her busy day 

-- RIFF: -- 2x's 

 

"Things are different today," 

I hear every mother say 

Cooking fresh food for a husband's just a drag 

So she buys an instant cake 

And she burns her frozen steak 

 

And goes running for the shelter 

Of a mother's little helper 

And to help her on her way 

Get her through her busy day 

 

Doctor (C) please 

Some more of (D) these 

Outside the (G) door 

She took four (C) more 

Am D Em 

-- RIFF: -- 1x 

What a drag it is getting old 

 

 

"Men just aren't the same today 

I hear every mother say 

They just don't appreciate that you get tired 

They're so hard to satisfy 

You can tranquilize your mind 

 

So go running for the shelter 

Of a mother's little helper 

And to help you through the night 

Help to minimise your plight 

 

Doctor please Some more of these 

Outside the door She took four more 

What a drag it is getting old 

 

"Life's just much too hard today," 

I hear every mother say 

The pursuit of happiness just seems a bore 

And if you take more of those 

You will get an overdose 

 

No more running to the shelter 

Of a mother's little helper 

They just helped you on your way 

Through your busy dying day

Move over little dog cause the big dog's moving in

She's changed the lock on my front door
My door key don't fit no more
So get it on over (move it on over)
Scoot it on over (move it on over)
Move over skinny dog cause the fat dog's moving in

This dog house here is mighty small
But it's better than no house at all
So ease it on over (move it on over)
Drag it on over (move it on over)
Move over old dog cause a new dog's moving in


 
She told me not to play around
But I done let the deal go down
So pack it on over (move it on over)
Tote it on over (move it on over)
Move over nice dog cause a mad dog's moving in

She warned me once, she warned me twice
But I don't take no one's advice
So scratch it on over (move it on over)
Shake it on over (move it on over)
Move over short dog cause the tall dog's moving in

She'll crawl back to me on her knees
I'll be busy scratching fleas
So slide it on over (move it on over)
Sneak it on over (move it on over)
Move over good dog cause a mad dog's moving in

Remember pup, before you whine
That side's yours and this side's mine
So shove it on over (move it on over)
Sweep it on over (move it on over)
Move over cold dog cause a hot dog's moving in`

Mr. Soul
Neil Young

----------


Oh, hello Mr. Soul, I dropped by to pick up a reason
For the thought that I caught that my head is the event of the season
Why in crowds just a trace of my face could seem so pleasin'
I'll cop out to the change, but a stranger is putting the tease on.

I was down on a frown when the messenger brought me a letter
I was raised by the praise of a fan who said I upset her
Any girl in the world could have easily known me better
She said, You're strange, but don't change, and I let her.

In a while will the smile on my face turn to plaster?
Stick around while the clown who is sick does the trick of disaster
For the race of my head and my face is moving much faster
Is it strange I should change? I don't know, why don't you ask her?

Natural Mystic
Bob Marley
-----------

There's a natural mystic blowing through the air;
If you listen carefully now you will hear.
This could be the first trumpet, might as well be the last:
Many more will have to suffer,
Many more will have to die - don't ask me why.

Things are not the way they used to be,
I won't tell no lie;
One and all have to face reality now.
'Though I've tried to find the answer to all the questions they ask.
'Though I know it's impossible to go livin' through the past -
Don't tell no lie.

There's a natural mystic blowing through the air -
Can't keep them down -
If you listen carefully now you will hear.
There's a natural mystic blowing through the air.

This could be the first trumpet, might as well be the last:
Many more will have to suffer,
Many more will have to die - don't ask me why.

There's a natural mystic blowing through the air -
I won't tell no lie;
If you listen carefully now you will hear:
There's a natural mystic blowing through the air.
Such a natural mystic blowing through the air;
There's a natural mystic blowing through the air;
Such a natural mystic blowing through the air;
Such a natural mystic blowing through the air;
Such a natural mystic blowing through the air.


Needle And The Damage Done

Neil Young

----------


I caught you knockin' at my cellar door
I love you, baby, can I have some more
Ooh, ooh, the damage done.

I hit the city and I lost my band
I watched the needle take another man
Gone, gone, the damage done.

I sing the song because I love the man
I know that some of you don't understand
Milk-blood to keep from running out.

I've seen the needle and the damage done
A little part of it in everyone

But every junkie's like a settin' sun.

[Em]Beauty I'd [D]always missed [Em] With these eyes [D]before

Oh how I [Em]love you [D] [Em] [D]


Gazing at people,
Some hand in hand,
Just what I'm going thru
They can understand.

Some try to tell me
Thoughts they cannot defend,
Just what you want to be
You will be in the end,
And I love you,
Yes, I love you,
Oh, how, I love you.
Oh, how, I love you.

Nights in white satin,
Never reaching the end,
Letters I've written,
Never meaning to send.

Beauty I'd always missed
With these eyes before,
Just what the truth is
I can't say anymore.

'Cause I love you,
Yes, I love you,
Oh, how, I love you.
Oh, how, I love you.

'Cause I love you,
Yes, I love you,
Oh, how, I love you.
Oh, how, I love you

Walking side by side with death, 

The devil mocks their every step 

The snow drives back the foot that's slow, 

The dogs of doom are howling more F(add9) F F(add9) 

They carry news that must get through, Bbsus4 

To build a dream for me and you A

They choose the path where no-one goes.

They hold no quarter

They ask no quarter.

The pain, the pain without quarter.

 

 

Norwegian Wood

Beatles

---------------------

I once had a girl, or should I say, she once had me.
She showed me her room, isn’t it good, norwegian wood?
She asked me to stay and she told me to sit anywhere,
So I looked around and I noticed there wasn’t a chair.
I sat on a rug, biding my time, drinking her wine.
We talked until two and then she said, "it’s time for bed".
She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh.
I told her I didn’t and crawled off to sleep in the bath.
And when I awoke I was alone, this bird had flown.
So I lit a fire, isn’t it good, norwegian wood.

 

 

 

One More Cup Of Coffee
Robert Plant
-----------

Your breath is sweet
Your eyes are like two jewels in the sky.
Your back is straight, your hair is smooth
On the pillow where you lie.
I don't sense affection
No gratitude or love
Your loyalty is not to me
But to the stars above.

One more cup of coffee for the road,
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
To the valley below.

Your daddy he's an outlaw
And a wanderer by trade
He'll teach you how to pick and choose
And how to throw the blade.
He oversees his kingdom
So no stranger dare intrude
His voice it trembles as he calls
For another plate of food.
One more cup of coffee for the road,
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
To the valley below.


Your sister sees the future
Like your mama and yourself.
You've never learned to read or write
There's no books upon your shelf.
Your pleasure knows no limits
Your voice is like a lark
But your heart is like an ocean
Mysterious and dark.

One more cup of coffee for the road,
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
To the valley below.



One Particular Harbour
Jimmy Buffett
-----------

Ia ora te natura

E mea arofa teie ao nei

Ia ora te natura

E mea arofa teie ao nei

I know I don't get there often enough

But God knows I surely try

It's a magic kind of medicine

That no doctor could prescribe

I used to rule my world from a pay phone

And ships out on the sea

But now times are rough

And I got too much stuff

Can't explain the likes of me

But there's this one particular harbour

So far but yet so near

Where I see the days as they fade away

And finally disappear

But now I think about the good times

Down in the Caribbean sunshine

In my younger days I was so bad

Laughin' about all the fun we had

I've seen enough to feel the world spin

Mixin' different oceans meetin' cousins

Listen to the drummers and the night sounds

Listen to the singers make the world go 'round

 

Ia ora te natura

E mea arofa teie ao nei

Ia ora te natura

E mea arofa teie ao nei

Lakes below the mountains

Flow into the sea

Like oils applied to canvas

They permeate through me

And there's that one particular harbour

Sheltered from the wind

Where the children play on the shore each day

And all are safe within

Most mysterious calling harbour

So far but yet so near

I can see the day when my hair's full gray

And I finally disappear

Ia ora te natura

E mea arofa teie ao nei

Ia ora te natura

E mea arofa teie ao nei

Ua pau te maitai no te fenua

Re zai noa ra te ora o te mitie

Bounty of the land is exhausted

But there's still abundance on the sea

 

 

Over the Hills and Far Away
 Led Zeppelin
-----------

Hey lady--you got the love I need
Maybe more than enough.
Oh darling... walk a while with me

Ooh, youve got so much...

Many times I loved
Many times been bitten
Many times Ive gazed
Along the open road.

Many times Ive lied
Many times Ive listened
Many times Ive wondered
How much there is to know.

.

 

Many dreams come true
And some have silver linings
I live for my dream
And a pocketful of gold.
G   D   A5   E
Mellow is the man
Who knows what hes been missing
Many many men
Cant see the open road.

Many is a word
That only leaves you guessing
Guessing bout a thing
You really ought to know, ooh!
You really ought to know
I really ought to know!
Oooh, you know I should, you know I should, you know I should..

 

 


Paint it Black

Rolling Stones
-----------

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore, I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love, both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a newborn baby it just happens ev'ry day

I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and I must have it painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not forsee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the setting sun
My love will laugh with me before the morning comes

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

I wanna see your face painted black, black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun, blotted out from the sky.
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black, yeah !

 


A Pirate Looks At Forty
Jimmy Buffett
-----------

Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call

Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall

You've seen it all, you've seen it all

Watched the men who rode you switch from sails to steam

And in your belly you hold the treasures few have ever seen

Most of 'em dream, most of 'em dream

Yes I am a pirate, two hundred years too late

The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder

I'm an over-forty victim of fate

Arriving too late, arriving too late

I've done a bit of smugglin', I've run my share of grass

I made enough money to buy Miami, but I pissed it away so fast

Never meant to last, never meant to last

 

And I have been drunk now for over two weeks

I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks

But I got stop wishin', got to go fishin'

Down to rock bottom again

Just a few friends, just a few friends

I go for younger women, lived with several awhile

Though I ran 'em away, they'd come back one day

Still could manage to smile

Just takes a while, just takes a while

Mother, mother ocean, after all the years I've found

My occupational hazard being my occupation's just not around

I feel like I've drowned, gonna head uptown

I feel like I've drowned, gonna head uptown

 

 

People are Strange

The Doors

Em                           Am         Em              
People are strange  When your a Stranger 

 Am         Em      B              Em

Faces look ugly when your alone
 

Women Seem Wicked   When your unwanted   

Streets are uneven when you are down


 Em                            G                                       B   

When Your strange    Faces come out in the rain   

                                      B

Play With Fire

Rolling Stones
-----------

 

Well, you've got your diamonds and you've got your pretty clothes

And the chauffeur drives your car

You let everybody know

 

But don't play with me, 'cause you're playing with fire

 

Your mother she's an heiress, owns a block in Saint John's Wood

And your father'd be there with her If he only could

 

But don't play with me, 'cause you're playing with fire

 

Your old man took her diamond's and tiaras by the score

Now she gets her kicks in Stepney Not in Knightsbridge anymore

 

So don't play with me, 'cause you're playing with fire

now you've got sine diamonds and you will have some others

But you'd better watch your step, girl Or start living with your mother

 

So don't play with me, 'cause you're playing with fire

So don't play with me, 'cause you're playing with fire

Left a good job in the city
Working for the man ev'ry night and day
Then I never lost a minute of speed
When worrying 'bout the way things
might have been.

Big wheels keep on turning.
Bm

Proud Mary keeps on burning.
D

Rolling, rolling  rolling on the river.


Seen a lot of places in Memphis.
Hogged a lot of playing down in New Orleans.
But I never saw the good side of the city

'til I hitched a ride on a river boat queen.




Big wheels keep on turning.
Proud Mary keeps on burning.
Rolling
rolling
rolling on the river.

If you come down to the river

Betcha gonna find the people who live

You don't have to worry though you have no money.
People on the river are happy to give.

Big wheels keep on turning.
Proud Mary keeps on burning.
Rolling

Puff, The Magic Dragon

Peter, Paul & Mary

-----------------

Puff, the magic dragon, lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honalee.


Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff, oh

Puff, the magic dragon, lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honalee.


Puff, the magic dragon, lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honalee.

 

Together they would travel on boat with billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched on Puff's gigantic tail


Noble kings and princes would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags when Puff roared out his name, oh

 

CHORUS

A dragon lives forever, but not so little boys
Painted wings and giants's rings make way for other toys.
One grey night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar.

 

His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane.


Without his lifelong friend, Puff could not be brave
So, Puff that mighty dragon sadly slipped into his cave, oh

CHORUS

 

 

Rain Song
Led Zeppelin

 

This is the springtime of my loving - the second season I am to know
You are the sunlight in my growing - so little warmth I've felt before.
It isn't hard to feel me glowing - I watched the fire that grew so low.

It is the summer of my smiles - flee from me Keepers of the Gloom.
Speak to me only with your eyes. It is to you I give this tune.
Ain't so hard to recognize - These things are clear to all from
time to time.

 
Talk Talk - I've felt the coldness of my winter
I never thought it would ever go. I cursed the gloom that set upon us...
But I know that I love you so

These are the seasons of emotion and like the winds they rise and fall
This is the wonder of devotion - I see the torch we all must hold.
This is the mystery of the quotient - Upon us all a little rain must fall.

 

Ramble On
Led Zeppelin
-----------

The leaves are fallin' all around, time I was on my way
Thanks to you, I'm much obliged for such a pleasant stay
but now it's time for me to go, the autumn moon lights my way
for now I smell the rain, and with it, pain
and it's headin' my way
Aw, sometimes I grow so tired
but I know I've got one thing I got to do

A-ramble on, and now's the time, the time is now
Sing my song, I'm goin' 'round the world, I gotta find my girl
On my way, I've been this way ten years to the day
Ramble on, gotta find the queen of all my dreams

Got no time for spreadin' roots, the time has come to be gone
And though our health we drank a thousand times
it's time to ramble on

A-ramble on, and now's the time, the time is now
Sing my song, I'm goin' 'round the world
I've gotta find my girl
On my way, I've been this way ten years to the day
I gotta ramble on, I gotta find the queen of all my dreams
I tell you no lie

Mine's a tale that can't be told, my freedom I hold dear
How years ago in days of old when magic filled the air
'twas in the darkest depths of Mordor, mm-I met a girl so fair
but Gollum and the evil one crept up and slipped away with her
her, her, yeah, yeah, and ain't nothin' I can do, no

I guess I'll keep on ramblin', I'm gonna
Sing my song/Sh-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, I've gotta find my baby
I'm gonna ramble on, sing my song
Gonna work my way all around the world
Baby, baby/Ramble on, yeah

A-do-do-n-do-n-do-n-do, my baby/Baby
A-ramble on, baby
A-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-de-do-de-do-de-do-de-do-de, yeah, yeah/
I can't stop this feelin' in my heart
Everytime I feel I will leave, I really gotta part
Gotta keep searchin' for my baby/
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, babe
I've gotta keep a-searchin' for my baby
My, my, my, my, my, my, my baby/
Yeah-yeah, a-yeah-yeah, a-yeah-yeah
My, my, my, my, my, my baby/
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Ooh, my, my, my-my, my-my, my-my, yeah/
I can't find my bluebird, I'd listen to my bluebird sing
but I, I can't find my bluebird
I keep a-ramblin' baby/Ah, ah, yeah
I keep a-ramblin', baby/I keep, keep, keep, keep, keep
Babe, babe, babe, babe/
I keep a-ramblin', baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby/
My, my babe
Bay-ay-by/A-goodbye, goodbye, a-goodbye, baby
Well, something's wrong

 

Redemption

Johnny Cash

 

               Am

From the hands it came down 

               Dm 

From the side it came down 

               

From the feet it came down 

       Am 

And ran to the ground 

              Am 

Between heaven and hell 

    Dm 

A teardrop fell 

          E 

In the deep crimson dew

        Am 

The tree of life grew 

 

              C

And the blood gave life 

              

To the branches of the tree

             F

And the blood was the price

          

That set the captives free 

 

             C

And the numbers that came 

                     G

Through the fire and the flood

F

Clung to the tree 

                Am

And were redeemed by the blood 

 

 

From the tree streamed a light 

That started the fight 

'Round the tree grew a vine 

On whose fruit I could dine 

My old friend Lucifer came 

Fought to keep me in chains 

But I saw through the tricks

Of six-sixty-six 

 

{chorus} 

 

 

 

From his hands it came down 

From his side it came down 

From his feet it came down 

And ran to the ground 

And a small inner voice 

Said "You do have a choice." 

The vine engrafted me 

And I clung to the tree 

 

{chorus} 

 

 

From his hands it came down 

From his side it came down 

From his feet it came down

And ran to the ground

 


 

Redemption Song

Bob Marley

----------

Old pirates, yes, they rob i;
Sold I to the merchant ships,
Minutes after they took i
From the bottomless pit.
But my hand was made strong
By the ’and of the almighty.
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly.
Won’t you help to sing
These songs of freedom? -
’cause all I ever have:
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs.

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free our minds.
Have no fear for atomic energy,
’cause none of them can stop the time.
How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look? ooh!
Some say it’s just a part of it:
We’ve got to fulfil de book.
Won’t you help to sing
These songs of freedom? -
’cause all I ever have:
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs.
---
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free our mind.
Wo! have no fear for atomic energy,
’cause none of them-a can-a stop-a the time.
How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look?
Yes, some say it’s just a part of it:
We’ve got to fulfil de book.
Won’t you help to sing
Dese songs of freedom? -
’cause all I ever had:
Redemption songs -
All I ever had:
Redemption songs:
These songs of freedom,
Songs of freedom.

Running Down a Dream

Tom Petty

---------------------

E

It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down

               D                      E
I had the radio on, I was drivin'


The trees went by, me and Del were singin'

               D                      E
Little Runaway, I was flyin'
         D          G          E
Yeah runnin' down a dream

        E          G          A
That never would come to me

         D          G          E
Workin' on a mystery,

        E          G          A

goin' wherever it leads

        D          G          E
I'm runnin' down a dream

I felt so good, like anything was possible
I hit cruise control and rubbed eyes
The last three days the rain was unstoppable
It was always cold, no sun shine

Yeah runnin' down a dream
That never would come to me
Workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads
I'm runnin' down a dream

I rolled on as the sky grew dark
I put the pedal down to make some time
There's something good waitin' down this road
I'm pickin' up whatever is mine

Yeah runnin' down a dream
That never would come to me
Workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads
I'm runnin' down a dream

 

Sandman

America

Ain’t it foggy outside
All the planes have been grounded
Ain’t the fire inside?
Let’s all go stand around it
Funny, I’ve been there
And you’ve been here
And we ain’t had no time to drink that beer

’cause I understand you’ve been running from the man
That goes by the name of the sandman
He flies the sky like an eagle in the eye
Of a hurricane that’s abandoned
Ain’t the years gone by fast
I suppose you have missed them
Oh, I almost forgot to ask
Did you hear of my enlistment?

Funny, I’ve been there
And you’ve been here
And we ain’t had no time to drink that beer

’cause I understand you’ve been running from the man
That goes by the name of the sandman
He flies the sky like an eagle in the eye
Of a hurricane that’s abandoned

Oh, heaven let your light shine down (x4)

Love is in the water

Show me where to go
Tell me will love be there ( love be there )
Teach me how to speak
Teach me how to share
Teach me where to go
Tell me will love be there ( love be there )

Heavens little light gonna shine on me
Yea yea heavens little light gonna shine on me
Its gonna shine, shine on me

Ship of Fools

Robert Plant-------

 

On waves of love my heart is breaking
And stranger still my self control I can't rely on anymore
New tides surprise - my world it's changing
Within this frame an ocean swells - behind this smile I know it well

Beneath a lover's moon I'm waiting
I am the pilot of the storm - adrift in pleasure I may drown
I built this ship - it is my making
And furthermore my self control I can't rely on anymore
I know why - I know why
Crazy on a ship of fools
Crazy on a ship of fools
Turn this boat around - back to my loving ground

Who claims that no man is an island
While I land up in jeopardy - more distant from you by degrees
I walk this shore in isolation
And at my feet eternity draws ever sweeter plans for me
I know why - I know why
Crazy on a ship of fools
Crazy on a ship of fools
Turn this boat around - back to my loving ground
Oh no, oh no - ship of fools --

Stairway to Heaven
Led Zeppelin
-----------

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
and she's buying a stairway to Heaven
When she gets there, she knows if the stores are all closed
with a word she can get what she came for
Ooh-ooh-hoo, hoo, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
And she's buying a stairway to Heaven

There's a sign on the wall, but she wants to be sure
'cause you know sometimes words have two meanings
In a tree by the brook there's a songbird who sings sometimes
All of our thoughts are misgiven

Ooh, it makes me wonder, ooh, makes me wonder-er-er-er-er-er

There's a feelin' I get when I look to the west
and my spirit is crying for leaving
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees
and the voices of those who stand looking

Ooh, it makes me wonder, ooh, really makes me wonder

And it's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune
then the piper will lead us to reason
and a new day will dawn for those who stand long
and the forests will echo with laughter


Oh-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-hoh-oh

If there's a bustle in your hedge-row, don't be alarmed, now
It's just a spring-clean for the May Queen
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
nn-there's still time to change the road you're on

And it makes me wonder-a, oh-whoa-hoh

Your head is hummin' and it won't go
In case you don't know, the piper's callin' you to join him
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow
and did you know your stairway lies on the whisperin' wind
Hoh-oh-oh

And as we wind on down the road
our shadows taller than our soul
there walks a lady we all know-ow
who shines white light and wants to show
how everything still turns to gold
and if you listen very hard
the tune will come to you at last
When all are one and one is all, yeah
to be a rock and not to roll-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah
And she's buying a stairway to Heaven

So I had one more for dessert.

                                                                             D
Then I fumbled in my closet through my clothes

                             E                         A
And found my cleanest dirty shirt.

              D                                    E
Then I washed my face and combed my hair

          D                                 E                               A
And stumbled down the stairs to meet the day.

I'd smoked my mind the night before
With
(D) cigarettes and (E) songs I'd been (A) picking.
But I lit my first and watched a small kid
(D) Playing with a (E) can that he was (A) kicking.
Then I walked across the street
And caught the
(D) Sunday smell of (E) someone frying (A) chicken.
And Lord, it
(D) took me back to (E) something that I'd (D) lost
Somewhere,
(E) somehow along the (A) way.

.

 

 

CHORUS 
On a Sunday morning (D) sidewalk,
I'm wishing, Lord, that I was
(A) stoned.
'Cause there's something in a
(E) Sunday
That makes a body feel
(A) alone.
And there's nothing short a'
(D) dying
That's half as lonesome as the
(A) sound
Of the sleeping city
(E) sidewalk
And Sunday morning coming
(A) down

In the park I saw a daddy
With a
(D) laughing little (E)  girl that he was (A) swinging.
And I stopped beside a Sunday school
And 
(D)listened to the (E) songs they were (A) singing.
Then I headed down the street,
And somewhere
(D) far away a (E) lonely bell was (A) ringing,
And it
(D) echoed through the (E) canyon
Like the
(D) disappearing (E) dreams of yester(A)day.

CHORUS 

 

Sundown
Gordon Lightfoot
---------------

E
I can see her lying back in her satin dress in a
(B7) room where you do what you (E) don't confess.
E

Sundown, you (A) better take care if I (D) find you been creeping 'round (E) my back stairs.
E

Sundown, you (A) better take care if I (D) find you been creeping 'round (E) my back stairs.



(E) She's been looking like a queen in a sailor's dream
and
(B7) she don't always say what (E) she really means.
(E) Sometimes I (A) think it's a shame when I (D) get feeling better, when I'm (E) feeling no pain.
(E) Sometimes I (A) think it's a shame when I (D) get feeling better, when I'm (E) feeling no pain.

I can picture every move that a man could make, getting lost in her loving is your first mistake.
Sundown, you better take care if I find you been creeping 'round my back stairs.
Sometimes I think it's a sin when I feel like I'm winning, when I'm losing again.

I can see her looking fast in her faded jeans, she's a hard loving woman, got me feeling mean.
Sometimes I think it's a shame when I get feeling better, when I'm feeling no pain.
Sundown, you better take care if I find you been creeping 'round my back stairs.
Sundown, you better take care if I find you been creeping 'round my back stairs.
Sometimes I think it's a sin when I feel like I'm winning, when I'm losing again.

Sweet Home Alabama

Lynard Skynard

 

Big wheels keep on turning
Carry me home to see my kin
Singing songs about the Southland
I miss Alabamy once again
And I think its a sin, yes

Well I heard mister Young sing about her
Well, I heard ole Neil put her down
Well, I hope Neil Young will remember
A Southern man don't need him around anyhow

Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you


In Birmingham they love the governor
Now we all did what we could do
Now Watergate does not bother me
Does your conscience bother you?
Tell the truth


 

Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you
Here I come Alabama

Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers
And they've been known to pick a song or two
Lord they get me off so much
They pick me up when I'm feeling blue
Now how about you?

Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you

Sweet home Alabama
Oh sweet home baby
Where the skies are so blue
And the governor's true
Sweet Home Alabama
Lordy
Lord, I'm coming home to you
Yea, yea Montgomery's got the answer

 

 

 

Sympathy for the Devil

Rolling Stones
-----------

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long long year 

stolen many man's soul and faith
I was around when Jesus Christ had His moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate washed his hands and sealed His fate
Pleased to meet you hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game

Stuck around St. Petersburg when I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the Tzar and his ministers, Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank held a gen'rals rank when the blitzkrieg
raged and the bodies stank
Pleased to meet you hope you guess my name. Oh yeah
Ah what's puzzling you is the nature of my game. Oh yeah

I watched the glee while your kings and queens fought for
ten decades for the Gods they made
I shouted out Who killed the Kennedy's when after all
it was you and me

Let me please intruduce myself I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I lay traps for troubadors who get killed before they reach Bombay
Pleased to meet you hope you guess my name. Oh yeah
But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game. Oh yeah
Pleased to meet you hope you guess my name. Oh yeah
But what's confusing you is just the nature of my game

Just as every cop is a criminal and all the sinners, Saints
as heads is tails, just call me Lucifer 'cause I'm in need
of some restraint
So if you meet me, have some courtesy have some sympathy
and some taste
Use all your well learned politesse or I'll lay your soul to waste
Pleased to meet you hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game

 

Taking Care Of Business
Bachman-Turner Overdrive

 

You get up every morning
From your 'larm clock's warning
Take the 8:15 into the city
There's a whistle up above
And people pushin', people shovin'
And the girls who try to look pretty
And if your train's on time
You can get to work by nine
And start your slaving job to get your pay
If you ever get annoyed
Look at me I'm self-employed
I love to work at nothing all day
And I'll be
 
Taking care of business (every day)
Taking care of business (every way)
I've been taking care of business (it's all mine)
Taking care of business and working overtime
Work out
 
 
If it were easy as fishin'
You could be a musician
If you could make sounds loud or mellow
Get a second-hand guitar
Chances are you'll go far
If you get in with the right bunch of fellows
People see you having fun
Just a-lying in the sun
Tell them that you like it this way
It's the work that we avoid
And we're all self-employed
We love to work at nothing all day
And we be
 
Taking care of business (every day)
Taking care of business (every way)
We be been taking care of business (it's all mine)
Taking care of business and working overtime


Tangerine
Led Zeppelin
-----------


Measuring a summer's day
I only find it slips away to gray
The hours, they bring me pain

Tangerine, tangerine, living reflection from a, from a dream
I was her love, she was my queen
and now a thousand years between

Thinking how it used to be
Does she still remember times like these
To think of us again, and I do

Tangerine, tangerine, living reflection from a dream
I was her love, she was my queen
and now a thousand years betwee-ee-ee-een

 

Ten Years Gone
Led Zeppelin
-----------

Then as it was, then again it will be
An’ though the course may change sometimes
Rivers always reach the sea
Blind stars of fortune, each have several rays
On the wings of maybe, down in birds of prey
Kind of makes me feel sometimes, didn’t have to grow
But as the eagle leaves the nest, it’s got so far to go

Changes fill my time, baby, that’s alright with me
In the midst I think of you, and how it used to be

Did you ever really need somebody, and really need ’em bad
Did you ever really want somebody, the best love you ever had
Do you ever remember me, baby, did it feel so good
’cause it was just the first time, and you knew you would

 
Through the eyes an’ I sparkle, senses growing keen
Taste your love along the way, see your feathers preen
Kind of makes makes me feel sometimes, didn’t have to grow
We are eagles of one nest, the nest is in our soul

Vixen in my dreams, with great surprise to me
Never thought I’d see your face the way it used to be
Oh darlin’, oh darlin’

I’m never gonna leave you. I never gonna leave
Holdin’ on, ten years gone
Ten years gone, holdin’ on, ten years gone

 

 

Tennessee Stud

Johnny Cash

----------

Back about eighteen and twenty-five

I left Tennessee very much alive

I never would've made it through the Arkansas mud

 If I hadn't been riding on the Tennessee Stud

Had some trouble with my sweetheart's Pa

One of her brothers was a bad outlaw

I wrote a letter to my Uncle Spud

And I rode away on the Tennessee Stud On a Tennessee Stud

The Tennessee Stud was long and lean

The color of the sun and his eyes were green

He had the nerve and he had the blood

There never was a horse like Tennessee Stud

 

Drifted on down into no man's land

Across the river called the Rio Grande

Raced my horse with the Spaniard's foe

Til I got me a skin full of silver and gold

Me and the gambler, we couldn't agree

We got in a fight over Tennessee

 

Pulled our guns and he fell with a thud

And I rode away on a Tennessee Stud

The Tennessee Stud was long and lean

The color of the sun and his eyes were green

He had the nerve and he had the blood

There was never a horse like the Tennessee Stud

 

I rode right back across Arkansas

I whipped her brother and I whipped her Pa

I found that girl with the golden hair

She was riding on a Tennessee Mare

Pretty little baby on the cabin floor

Little horse colt playing round the door

I loved the girl with the golden hair

And the Tennessee Stud loves the Tennessee Mare

The Tennessee Stud was long and lean

The color of the sun and his eyes were green

 He had the nerve and he had the blood

There was never a horse like the Tennessee Stud

 

 


Thank You

If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you
When mountains crumble to the sea
there will still be you and me
Kind a-woman, I give you my all, kind a-woman, nothing more

Little drops of rain whisper of the pain
Tears of loves lost in the days gone by
My love is strong, with you there is no wrong
Together we shall go until we die, my, my, my
An inspiration's what you are to me, inspiration, look and see

And so, today, my world, it smiles
Your hand in mine, we walk the miles
A-thanks to you, it will be done
for you to me are the only one, alright, yeah
Happiness, no more be sad, happiness, I'm glad

If the sun refused to shine, I would still be lovin' you
M-mountains crumble to the sea, there will still be you and me

I don't know how I'm gonna tell you
I can't play with you no more
I don't know how I'm gonna do what mama told me
My friend, the boy next door

I can't believe what people sayin'
"You gonna let your hair hang down
I'm satisfied to sit here working all day long
You're in the darker side of town"

And when I'm out, I see you walkin'
Why don't your eyes see me
And could it be you've found another game to play
What did mama say to me

"That's the way, oh, that's the way it oughta be-hee-hee"
Yeah, yeah
Mama said, "That's the way it oughta stay," yeah, yeah
O-ooh-hoo, hoo-hoo-ooh-ooh

And yesterday I saw you standing by the river
and weren't those tears that filled your eyes
and all the fish that lay in dirty water dyin'
had they gotcha hypnotized

And yesterday I saw you kissing tiny flowers
but all that lives is born to die
and so I say to you that nothing really matters
and all you do is stand and cry

I don't know what to say about it
when all your ears have turned away
but now's the time to look and look again at what you see
Is that the way it oughta stay

"That's the way, that's the way it oughta be-hee"
Whoa, don'tcha know, now
Mama said, mama said, "That's the way it's gonna stay," yeah
Uh, uh, uh, uh-uh-uh, uh, uh, uh, uh


There's Nothing Soft About Hard Times
Jimmy Buffett

 D                  C

Every day held a new surprise

 D                                                    E

I watched the hunger burning in my sister's eyes

         F                                     G

The paste-board shack we called a home

              C                          Am

Would haunt me in my dreams

              C                         G                  D

'Cause there's nothing soft about hard times

There's nothing soft about hard times

We never knew anything groovy

A dime meant bread and not a movie

The muscles that controlled my smile were rarely ever used

'Cause there's nothing soft about hard times

There's nothing soft about hard times

Chorus:

 F                                G

I had to go 'cause I could see

F                                C          A

I wasn't meant for poverty

F                                G

The family ties were broken soon

F                                C          A

I went off to find the moon

 

Chorus 2:

So I sit on a bench in Jackson Square

I drink my wine and I breathe the midnight air

Tomorrow I'll just hit the street and bum another dime

'Cause there's nothing soft about hard times

There's nothing soft about hard times

Chorus

Chorus 2

There's nothing soft about

No, no, no, no hard times

There's nothing soft about hard times

No, no, no, no those hard times

There's nothing soft about hard times

I'm going to tell you about the hard times

There's nothing soft about hard times

No, no, no, no hard times

 

 

Thirteen

Johnny Cash

----------

 

Bad luck wind been blowing at my back

I was born to bring trouble to wherever

I'm at Got the number thirteen tattooed on my neck

When the ink starts to itch, then the black will turn to red

I was born in the soul of misery

Never had me a name

They just gave me the number when I was young

Got a long line of heartache I carry it well

The list of lives I've broken reach from here to hell

Back luck been blowing at my back I pray you don't look at me, I pray I don't look back

I was born in the soul of misery Never had me a name

They just gave me the number when I was young

I was born in the soul of misery

Never had me a name

They just gave me the number when I was young

They just gave me the number when I was young

Singin': "Don't worry about a thing,

Rise up this mornin',
Smiled with the risin' sun,
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true,
Sayin', ("This is my message to you-ou-ou:")

Singin': "Don't worry 'bout a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right."
Singin': "Don't worry (don't worry) 'bout a thing,

Rise up this mornin',
Smiled with the risin' sun,
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true,
Sayin', "This is my message to you-ou-ou:"

Singin': "Don't worry about a thing, worry about a thing, oh!
Every little thing gonna be all right. Don't worry!"

Turnabout
Jimmy Buffett
-----------

As large as life she stood there

Kissed my cheek and called my old nickname

And though several years had passed

Both of us still looked quite the same

I said hi relaxed a bit

Then asked her how she'd been all these years

She told me she was feeling fine

And came to see a friend who lived up here

She told me she had finished school

And then went on to college for a year

I asked if she had married

Slowly down her cheek there came a tear

She said just an itchy eye

It must be the weather way up here

 

I told her I can't stand the cold

It freezes me and I can't feel my ears

We talked a bit about Mobile

And thought about how it has never changed

I told her I was a comin' home

To spend some time and hoped it wouldn't rain

She asked if she could see me then

And we could spend some time now and then

Because I lived so far away

Was still no chance why we could not be friends

I drove her to the waiting plane

Watched that big jet streaking through the sky

Thought about the sad young girl

And the time that I just saw her cry

That flame must still be burning bright

I think I'll catch a later flight today

It's time for me to go on home

And spend a day or two down by the bay

 

 

 

Turn The Page

Bob Seger
-----------

On a long and lonesome highway east of omaha
You can listen to the engines moaning out as one note song
You think about the woman or the girl you knew the night before

But your thoughts will soon be wandering the way they always do
When you’re riding sixteen hours and there’s nothing much to do
And you don’t feel much like riding, you just wish the trip was through

Here I am - on the road again
There I am - up on the stage
Here I go - playing star again
There I go - turn the page

So you walk into this restaurant strung out from the road
And you feel the eyes upon you, as you’re shaking off the cold
You pretend it doesn’t bother you, but you just want to explode

Yeah, most times you can’t hear ’em talk, other times you can
All the same old clichés, "is it woman? is it man? "
And you always seem outnumbered, you don’t dare make a stand
Make your stand
Here I am - on the road again
There I am - up on the stage
Here I go - playing star again
There I go - turn the page

Oo-ooh, out there in the spotlight, you’re a million miles away
Every ounce of energy you try to give away
As the sweat pours out your body like the music that you play, yeah

Later in the evening, you lie awake in bed
With the echoes of the amplifiers ringing in your head
You smoke the day’s last cigarette, remembering what she said
What she said

And here I am - on the road again
There I am - up on a stage
Here I go - playing star again
There I go - turn the page
There I go - turn that page
There I go, yeah, yeah
There I go, yeah, yeah
There I go, yeah
There I go, yeah
There I go, oo-oo-ooh
There I go
And I’m gone

Welcome to the Machine

Pink Floyd
----------

Welcome my son, welcome to the machine.
Where have you been? it’s alright we know where you’ve been.
You’ve been in the pipeline, filling in time, provided with toys and
’scouting for boys’.
You bought a guitar to punish your ma,
And you didn’t like school, and you know you’re nobody’s fool,
So welcome to the machine.

Welcome my son, welcome to the machine.
What did you dream? it’s alright we told you what to dream.
You dreamed of a big star, he played a mean guitar,
He always ate in the steak bar. he loved to drive in his jaguar.
So welcome to the machine


What Is and What Should Never Be
Led Zeppelin
-----------

And if I say to you tomorrow
"Take my hand, child, come with me"
It's to a castle I will take you
Where what's to be, they say will be

A-catch the wind, see us spin
Sail away, leave today
Way up high in the sky
It won't, but the wind won't blow, we really shouldn't go
It only goes to show that you will be mine by takin' our time
Oooh, ho-whoa

And if you say to me tomorrow
"Oh, what fun it all would be"
then what's to stop us, pretty baby-ay
but what is and what should never be

A-catch the wind, see us spin
Sail away, leave today
Way up high in the sky
It won't, but the wind won't blow, we really shouldn't go
It only goes to show that you will be mine a-by takin' our time
Oooh, ohh, oh-ho

So if you wake up with the sunrise
and all your dreams are still as new
and happiness is what you need so bad
Well, girl, the answer lies with you, yeah

A-catch the wind, see us spin
Sail away, leave today
Way up high in the sky
It won't, but the wind won't blow, we really shouldn't go
It only goes to show-ow that you will be mine by takin' our time
Oooh, ho-whoa

Hey, ho, ma
A-well, the wind won't blow, and we really shouldn't go
and it only goes to show-whoa-whoa-whoa
Grab the wind, we're gonna see us spin
We're gonna sail, leave today-a
A-do-do-do, ba-ba-n-do, oh
Ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, yeah

Everybody I know seems to know me well
but does anybody know I'm gonna move like hell
A-baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, ho, I love ya
Baby, baby, babe, huh, oh, I love ya
Do, no, no, no, no, no, no, come on, now
I want you to


Where Did you Sleep Last Night?

Nirvana
-----------

 

My girl, my girl, don’t lie to me
Tell me, where did you sleep last night?
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don’t ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through

My girl, my girl, where will you go?
I’m going where the cold wind blows
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don’t ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through

Her husband, was a hard working man
Just about a mile from here
His head was found in a driving wheel
But his body never was found

My girl, my girl, don’t lie to me
Tell me, where did you sleep last night?
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don’t ever shine
I will shiver the whole night through
(sing it for me)

My girl, my girl, where will you go?
I’m going where the cold wind blows
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don’t ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through

My girl, my girl, don’t lie to me
Tell me, where did you sleep last night?
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don’t ever shine
I will shiver the whole night through

My girl, my girl, where will ya go?
I’m going where the cold wind blows
In the pines, the pines
The sun, the shine
I’ll shiver the whole night through

White Rabbit

Jefferson Airplane

----------------

F#m                                            G

One pill makes you larger, And one pill makes you small

             F#m
And the ones that mother gives you
        
 G

Don't do anything at all

             A       C                D          A
Go ask Alice   When she's ten feet tall

And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall
Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call
Call Alice
When she was just small

E

When men on the chessboard

                   A
Get up and tell you where to go
E

And you've just had some kind of mushroom

                A
And your mind is moving low

            F#m
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know
          
F#m
When logic and proportion

         G
Have fallen sloppy dead

             F#m     
And the White Knight is talking backwards

               G
And the Red Queen's "off with her head!"

A                C           D             A
Remember what the doormouse said:

E                A
"Feed your head
Feed your head
Feed your head"

Why Don't We Get Drunk
Jimmy Buffett
-----------

I really do appreciate the fact you're sittin' here

Your voice sounds so wonderful

But yer face don't look too clear

So bar maid bring a pitcher, another round o' brew

Honey, why don't we get drunk and screw

Chorus:

Why don't we get drunk and screw

I just bought a water bed, it's filled up for me and you

They say you are a snuff queen

Honey I don't think that's true

So, why don't we get drunk and screw

'Pick it Coral Reefers, here we go...'

Chorus

Yeah, now baby I say (Lord!)

Why don't we get drunk and screw

 

Wish You Were Here

Pink Floyd

----------

(C) So, so you think you can (D) tell
Heaven from
(Am) Hell,
Blue skys from
(G) pain.
Can you tell a green
(D) field
From a cold steel
(C) rail?
A smile from a
(Am) veil?
Do you think you can
(G) tell?

And did they get you to
(c) trade
Your heros for
(D) ghosts?
Hot ashes for
(Am) trees?
Hot air for a cool
(G) breeze?
Cold comfort for
(D) change?
And did you
(C) exchange
A walk on part in the
(Am) war
For a lead role in a
(G) cage?

 

C                                                          D

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
                   Am

We're just two lost souls

                                                                           
Swimming in a fish bowl,

G
Year after year,

D
Running over the same old ground.

C
What have we found?

                          Am
The same old fears.

                            G
Wish you were here.

 


Woman Goin' Crazy On Caroline Street
Jimmy Buffett
-----------

Chorus:

There's a woman goin' crazy on Caroline Street

Stoppin' every man that she does meet

Sayin' if you'll be gentle if you'll be sweet

I'll show you my place on Caroline Street

 

She claimed in a loud voice to be a dancer

But I don't think she's cut a rug in years

Listens to the jukebox for her answers

Slowly guzzles twenty-five cent beers

Talks about the men she's known and then some

She's seen them in her dreams and on the street

She slides her dapper legs from beneath the table

As if to reveal some kind of treat

 

Chorus

 

Her lover left her stranded in Jamaica

Just right now she can't recall his name

Perceiving she's the center of attention

And all the lurking eyes they look the same

Weather's got the shrimpers in a frenzy

They're horny and don't need a good excuse

Someone yells and things just start erupting

And in a flash all hell has broken loose

 

Chorus

 

When I woke up and looked around the barroom

She was gone and I was black and blue

So be careful when you go to swing your partner

Someone just might take a swing at you

 

Chorus (To Fade)

 

 

Wreck Of the Edmund Fitzgerald

Gordon Lightfoot
---------------

The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down of the big lake they call 'Gitche Gumee.'
The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead when the skies of November turn gloomy.
With a load of iron ore twenty-six thousand tons more
than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty,
that good ship and true was a bone to be chewed when the gales of November came early.

The ship was the pride of the American side, coming back from some mill in Wisconsin.
As the big freighters go, it was bigger than most with a crew and good captain well seasoned.
Concluding some terms with a couple of steel firms when they left fully loaded for Cleveland,
and later that night when the ship's bell rang, could it be the north wind they'd been feeling?

The wind in the wires made a tattle-tale sound and a wave broke over the railing.
And every man knew, as the captain did too, t'was the witch of November come stealing.
The dawn came late and the breakfast had to wait when the Gales of November came slashing.
When afternoon came it was freezing rain in the face of a hurricane west wind.

When suppertime came, the old cook came on deck saying, ‘Fellas, it's too rough to feed ya.’
At Seven P.M. a main hatchway caved in, he said, ‘Fellas, it's been good t'know ya.’
The captain wired in he had water coming in and the good ship and crew was in peril.
And later that night when his lights went out of sight came the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.
Does any one know where the love of God goes when the waves turn the minutes to hours?
The searches all say they'd have made Whitefish Bay if they'd put fifteen more miles behind her.
They might have split up or they might have capsized, the may have broke deep and took water.
And all that remains is the faces and the names of the wives and the sons and the daughters.

Lake Huron rolls, Superior sings in the rooms of her ice-water mansion.
Old Michigan steams like a young man's dreams, the islands and bays are for sportsmen.
And farther below Lake Ontario takes in what Lake Erie can send her,
and the iron boats go as the mariners all know with the Gales of November remembered.

In a musty old hall in Detroit they prayed in the Maritime Sailors' Cathedral.
The church bell chimed till it rang twenty-nine times for each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald.
The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down of the big lake they call 'Gitche Gumee'.
Superior, they said, never gives up her dead when the gales of November come early.


Your Time Is Gonna Come
Led Zeppelin
-----------

Lyin', cheatin', hurtin', that's all you seem to do
Messin' around, every guy in town
Puttin' me down for thinkin' of someone new
Always the same, playin' your game
Drive me insane, trouble's gonna come to you
One of these days, and it won't be long
You'll look for me, but, baby, I'll be gone

This is all I gotta say to ya, woman
Your time is gonna come, your time is gonna come
Your time is gonna come, your time is gonna come

Made up my mind, break you this time
Won't be so fine, it's my turn to cry
Do what you want, I won't take the brunt
It's fadin' away, can't feel you anymore
Don't care what you say, 'cause I'm goin' away to stay
Gonna make you pay for that great big hole in my heart
People talkin' all around
Watch out, woman, no longer is the joke gonna be on my heart

You been bad to me, woman, but it's comin' back home to you
Your time is gonna come, your time is gonna come
Your time is gonna come, your time is gonna come
Your time is gonna come, 'bye, 'bye-'bye, baby
