They say some days you gotta give--

They say some days you gotta take--

If that's the way it's gotta be,

Roll it over and you will see.

The city streets are full of people going nowhere making time.

The change from night to day is really only hours,

It's just along the line can't you see the sign

When I looked around, I was heading down,

	C	G	Am	C7	F	G	Cm	Ab	Dm7-5	Cm	G
W	on't s	om	ebod	y th	row me do	wn a l	ine	.

I want to look you straight in the eye,

I want to tell you how I really feel,

	F	G	Gb
	I can feel the wheels t	urnin'	round,

Won't somebody throw me down a line

The city streets are full of people going nowhere making time,

The change from night to day is really only hours

It's just along the line, can't you see the sign

When I closed my eyes, I was so surprised

	C	G	Am	C7	F	E7	Am	D7
S	ome	bo	dy h	ad t	hrown me d	own the l	ine--stopped me dr	ownin'

@SONG: ROCKARIA!

Intro: D Bm F#m A7

	D
J	ust got back from the downtown palais

Where the music was so sweet

It knocked me right back in the alley

	G7	D
I'm r	eady, yea, yea, yea, I'm re	ady,

	A7
Wo, wo, wo, I'm re	ady

	Bm	F#m	Em	A7
And I'm re	ally gonna r	ock ton	ight.

Sweet little lady sings like a songbird

And she sings the opera like you ain't never heard,

But she ain't ready,

No, no, no, she ain't ready

No, no, no, she ain't ready,

And she ain't gonna rock & roll

	Em	A
S	he's sweet on Wa	gner,

	Em	A
I	think she'd die for Beetho	ven,

She loves the way Puccini lays down a tune,

And Verdi's always creeping from her room.

D

Bm

F#m

A7

Come on I'll show you how to sing the blues

Now baby, come on over you got nothin' to lose,

Are you ready, hey, hey, hey are you ready

Ooh, ooh, ooh, are you ready

I wanna show you how to rock and roll.

Now listen here baby she, said to me

Just, meet me at the opera house at a quarter to three,

'Cos I'm ready, yea, yea, yea, I'm ready,

Woo, hoo, hoo, I'm ready,

I'm gonna show you how to sing the blues.

	D	Bm	F#m	A7
F	ar, far a	way the	music is playing.

	D	Em7/G
Well we were ree	lin' and a rockin' all th	rough the night,

Yea we were rockin' at the opera house until the break of light,

And the orchestra were playin' all Chuck Berry's greatest tunes.

And the singers in the chorus all got off on singing blues,

And as the night grew older everybody was as one,

The people on the streets came runnin' in to join in song

Just to hear the opera singer singin' rock & roll so pure,

I thought I saw the mayor there but I wasn't really sure,

D Bm F#m A7 DDDDDDDDD.8-)

But it's alright.

@SONG: MISSION (A World Record)

	Bm
F	or many days we travelled from a distant place and time,

	F#m
To reach a p	lace they call the planet Earth,

	G	F#m
There was to	be a celebr	ation,

	Bm	A	A	G
On the m	ission of the s	ac	red h	eart.

The planet Earth from way up there is beautiful and blue

And floating softly through a rainbow,

But when you touch down things look different here,

At the mission of the sacred heart.

CHORUS

	A	G	F#7
W	atching all the d	ays roll b	y

	Bm	Gm6
W	ho are you and who am	I?

How's life on earth?

	Eb7	D7
		When all the stars above

	Eb7	D7	A7
		Rain icy fingers down on	me

On a dirty worn-out sidewalk, sits a mother with a baby,

In her vale of tears she sees no rainbow

And someone's singing from a window

In the mission of the sacred heart.

CHORUS -- repeat

There's a building on a corner, in a city, in a land,

On a place they call the planet Earth,

My orders are to sit here and watch the world go by,

From the mission of the sacred heart.

CHORUS -- repeat

I want to be where the stars shine bright,

And hear sweet music on a summer night.

CHORUS -- repeat

Sundowners we'll go on and on,

We'll find the land of the midnight sun,

And when you look you'll see for miles around,

You'll see, the world is in your hand.

Still it's alright with me,

@SONG: DO YA

	D	A	G	A
	In this li	fe I've seen	everything I can see wo	man,

D A G A etc.

I've seen lovers flying through the air hand in hand

I've seen babies dancing in the midnight sun,

And I've seen dreams that came from the heavenly skies above

I've seen old men crying at their own grave sides

And I've seen pigs all sitting watching, picture slides

	G
But	I never seen nothing like you.

CHORUS

	D	A	G	G	A
	Do ya do ya w	ant my l	ove

Do ya do ya want my face

Do ya do ya want my mind

Do ya do ya want my love

Well I, heard the crowd singin' out of tune,

As they, sat and sang Auld Lang Syne by the light of the moon

I heard the preachers bangin' on the drums,

And I heard the police playin' with their guns

But I never heard nothin' like you.

	D	A
	In the country where the s	ky touches down

	G4	G
On the f	ield, she lay her do	wn to rest

	D	Fd	Gd
In the m	orning sun,

They come a'runnin' just to get a look, just to

Feel to touch her long black hair they don't give a damn

CHORUS -- repeat

Well I think you know what I'm trying to say woman,

That is I'd like to save you for a rainy day,

I've seen enough of the world to know,

That I've got to get it all to get it all to grow.

Look out!

Who knows,

I'm getting out of love.

CHORUS

	A	D
	My Shangri-la has gone aw	ay,

	C#m7	Gj7

Clouds roll by and hide the sun,

Raindrops fall on everyone,

So sad,

I'm getting out of love.
