Good Easy Songs




Ain't No Sunshine  Bill Withers

Basically Am and Em, picking the bass note then a strum for each: pick, Am, pick, Em, pick 6th string with pinky on third fret, repeat. I don't have this written in below. The chords listed are transitions from this pattern.
Intro: Repeat the above pattern a couple of times, then during verses, starting with the first Am listed below

 AmEm
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone  
 AmEm
Only darkness every day  
 Dm
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
 F
And this house just ain't no home,
 Am
 Anytime she goes away.

Wonder this time where she's gone
Wonder if she's gone to stay
 Dm
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
 F
And this house just ain't no home,
 Am
 Anytime she goes away.

 GmAmGmAm
And I know I know I know know I know I know I know I know... To add fill, every fourth 'I know, pound on Gm and slide down two frets to A
m (same fingering)

 Dm
Baby you're leaving me far behind
 Am
There ain't sunshine when she's gone Repeat 1st verse
This sounds great on a electric, not so great on an acoustic. For acoustic, I strum continuously between 'picks', and for the 'I know' business I pound the strings holding down only the second string of the first fret, then hammer down onto an Am.

Mad World  Tears For Fears






 EmG
 All around me are familiar faces,
 DA
 Worn out places, worn out faces,

 Bright and early for their daily races,
 DA
 Going nowhere, going nowhere,
 EmG
 And their tears are filling up their glasses,

 No expression, no expression,
 EmG
 Hide my head, I want to drown my sorrow,
 DA
 No tomorrow, no tomorrow,

 AEm
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've every had.

When people run in circles, it's a very, very

 EmG
 Children waiting for the day they feel good,
 DA
 Happy birthday, happy birthday,
 EmG
 Made to feel the way that every child should
 DA
 Sit and listen, sit and listen.
 EmG
 Went to school and I was very nervous,
 DA
 No one knew me, no one knew me,
 EmG
 Hello teacher, tell me what's my lesson,

 Look right through me, look right through me

18 Yellow Roses  Marty Robbins




 DAD
 Eighteen yellow roses came today
 DAD
 Eighteen yellow roses in a pretty bouquet
 G
 When the boy came to the door
 D
 I didn't know what to say
 AD
 But, eighteen yellow roses came today.

I opened up the card to see what it said
I couldn't believe my eyes
When I had read
Though you belong to another I love you anyway
Yes, eighteen yellow roses came today.

 BD
 I never doubted your love for a minute
I always thought that you would be true
But now this box and the flowers in it
 BGA
 I guess there's nothin' left for me to do.

 DAD
 But ask to meet the boy that's done this thing
And find out if he's got plans to buy you a ring
'cause eighteen yellow roses
Will wilt and die one day ...

But... a father's love will never fade away
Will never fade away...

simple and easy just listen to this song and you'll figure the pattern for ending

All my lifes a circle  Harry Chapin














verse:   B'-B'-3-2-B'-1-B'-3


chorus: B'-B'-3-1-B'-B'-3-2







So, for a C shord, the verse would be 5-4-3-2-5-1-4-3


For a G chord, the verse would be 6-4-3-2-6-1-4-3





















 /G/Gmaj7/Gmaj6/Am7
 All my life's a circle, sunrise and sundown 
 /Am7-Am7(G/D9(F#/G/Gmaj7
                                    The moon rose through the night time, till the daybreak rolls around
 /G/Gmaj7/Gmaj6/Am7
 All my life's a circle, but I can't tell you why 
 /Am7-Am7(G/D9(F#/C-D9(F#)/G/Gmaj7
 Seasons spinning round again, the years keep rolling by  
Seems like I've been here before, I can't remember when
But I've got this funny feeling, that we'll all get together again
There's no straight lines make up my life, all the roads have bends
There's no clear cut beginning, and sometimes no clear end
I've found you a thousand times, I guess you've done the same
But then we lose each other, it's just like a children's game
But as I find you here again, the thought rolls through my mind
Our love is like a circle, let's go 'round one more time.
Anyway, I rushed this off, so they're probably inconsistencies or typos,
but I think all the chords are right. BTW, I play it at Capo III or V,
depending on who's singing with me. Capo V's probably best, but you're
more likely to be in Capo III from a previous song......

And The Band Played Waltzing Matlida  Eric Bogle





















 CFCAm
 When I was a young man I carried a pack
 CG7C
and I lived the free life of a rover.
 FCAm
From the Murray's green banks to the dusty outback
 CG7C
waltzed my Matilda all over.
 G7FC
Then in nineteen fifteen my country said 'son',
 G7FG7
There's no time for rovin' there's work to be done!
 CFCAm
And they gave me a tin hat and gave me a gun
 CG7C
And they sent me away to the war.


Chorus

 CFC
 And the band played Waltzing Matilda
 G
As the ship pulled away from the quay,
 G7FCF
  and amidst all the cheers, the flag waving and tears,
 CG7C
We sailed off for Gallipoli


2.
How well I remember that terrible day
How our blood stained the sand and the water
And how in that hell they called Suvla Bay
We were butchered like lambs at the slaughter
Johhny Turk he was waiting, he'd primed himself well
He showered us with bullets, and rained us with shell,
And in five minutes flat, he'd blown us to hell
Nearly blew us right back to Australia

And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda
As we stopped to bury the slain
We buried ours and the Turks buried theirs,
Then we started all over again

3.
They collected the crippled, the wounded and maimed
And they shipped us back home to Australia
The armless the legless, the blind and insane,
All the brave heroes of Suvla
And when our ship pulled in to Circular Quay,
I looked at the place where my legs used to be,
And thanked Christ there was nobody waiting for me -
To grieve, to mourn and to pity.

And the band played Waltzing Matilda,
As they carried us down the gangway,
But nobody cheered, they just stood and stared -
And they turned all their faces away.

4.
And so now every April I sit on my porch,
And I watch the parade pass before me,
And I see my old comrades how proudly they march,
Reviving old dreams and past glories,
But the old men march slowly their bones stiff and sore,
Tired old men from a tired old war,
And the young people ask what are they marching for,
And I ask myself the same question.

But the band played Waltzing Matilda
And the old men still answer the call,
But year by year more old men disappear
Soon no one will march there at all.

Botany Bay  Misc. Traditional

Fare- well to old England for e-ver

Fare- well to my rum culls as well
 CFC
Fare - well to the well known Old Bailee
 CG7C
Where I used for to cut such a swell

Chorus:

Singing Too-ral Li-ooral li-ad-dity
Singing too-ral li-ooral li-ay
Singing too-ral li-ooral li-ad-dity
And we're bound for Botany Bay

There's the captain as is our Commander
There's the bo'sun and all the ship's crew
There's the first and second class passengers
Knows what we poor convicts go through

'taint leavin' old England we cares about
'taint cos we mispels what we knows
But becos all we light-fingered gentry
Hops around with a log on our toes

For seven long years I'll be staying here
For seven long years and a day
For meeting a cove in an area
And taking his ticker away

Oh, had I the wings of a turtle - dove
I'd soar on my pinions so high
Slap bang to tha arms of my Polly Love
And in her sweet presence I'd die

Now, all my young Dookies and Duchesses
Take warning from what I've to say
Mind all is your own as you touchesses
Or you'll find us in Botany Bay

Cast Of Thousands  Darren Hanlon

 We broke up about a year ago  
 D
We split amicably of course
 BmA
But I heard about your accident
 Em
When you fell off a horse
 Mm-mm-mm
 DBmA
I took flowers to the hospital  
 D
When in turn the intern said
 BmA
That he'd help me find the room which held
 D
You and your broken leg
 BmA
Hidden by your friends and relatives
 Em
Gathered round your bed
 EA
Ah-ah-ah    

Chorus:

 GDA
You had a cast of thousands of signatures
 GDA
And charts filled with your fluctuating temperatures
 GDA
You handed me a pen and pointed just below the knee
 GDBmA
I'm glad there's still a part of you reserved for me

Verse:

 DBmA
Do you remember how we met like laughing children
 D
Or just how clean it ended?
 BmA
In the darkened ward at night
 D
When blinds are all descended
 Bm
Now I get a pang of pleasure
 D
Seeing your leg suspended
 BmA
Shame they can't cover us in plaster
 Em
And in six weeks all is mended
 EA
Ah-ah-ah    
 DBmA
But I love the smell of hospitals more than just a bit
 DBm
When I was young I couldn't keep my nose out of the first-aid kit
 DBmA
But when the very thing that brings you here also makes you go 
 EmEA
The top floor elevator's just got one arrow

(Slow tempo right down)

 Why so many bloody looks?

 DEm
1.  Out in the West Texas town of El Paso
 A7D
    I fell in love with a Mexican girl.
 Em
    Nighttime would find me in Rose's Cantina,
 A7D
    Music would play and Felina would whirl.
2. Blacker than night were the eyes of Felina,
Wicked and evil while casting a spell.
My love was strong for this Mexican maiden,
I was in love, but in vain I could tell.
Chorus 1
 GDG
 One night a wild young cowboy came in,
 DD7
Wild as the West Texas wind...
 D7
 Dashing and daring, a drink he was sharing,
 D7G
 With wicked Felina, the girl that I love.
 A7
So in an - ger
3. I challenged his right for the love of this maiden;
Down went his hand for the gun that he wore.
My challenge was answered, in less than a heartbeat
The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor.
4. Just for a moment I stood there in silence,
Shocked by the foul evil deed I had done.
Many thoughts ran through my mind as I stood there;
I had but one chance and that was to run.
Chorus 2
Out through the back door of Rose's I ran,
Out where the horses were tied...
I caught a good one; he looked like he could run,
Up on his back and away I did ride.
Just as fast as
5. I could from the West Texas town of El Paso,
Out thru the badlands of New Mexico.
Back in El Paso my life would be worthless;
Everything's gone in life nothing is left.
6. But it's been so long since I've seen the young maiden,
My love is stronger that my fear of death.
(Nothing's missing. It really is only half a verse.)
Chorus 3
I saddled up and away I did go,
Riding alone in the dark...
Maybe tomorrow a bullet may find me,
Tonight nothing's worse than this pain in my heart.
And as last here
7. I am on the hill overlooking El Paso,
I can see Rose's Cantina below.
My love is strong and it pushes me onward,
Down off the hill to Felina I go.
8. Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys,
Off to my left ride a dozen or more.
Shouting and shooting; I can't let them catch me,
I've got to make it to Rose's back door.
Chorus 4
Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel
A deep burning pain in my side...
It's getting harder to stay in the saddle.
I'm getting weary, unable to ride.
But my love for
9. Felina is strong and I rise where I've fallen;
Though I am weary, I can't stop to rest.
I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle,
I feel the bullet go deep in my chest.
10.From out of nowhere, Felina has found me,
Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side.
Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for,
One little kiss and Felina goodbye.
I'd suggest playing A7 as (x02223). Alternate bass notes on beats one
and four throughout the verses. You might want to try Dadd9 (xx0230)
in place of the D in the first line of the chorus.

Evil Woman  Electric Light Orchestra



Tabbed By: Belavista Man On: 14/07/07 E-mail: anthonybentley@hotmail.co.uk
Here's how I've worked out the chords to ELO's Evil Woman. The A minors should be as a barr chord on the fifth fret of your guitar, just so as you know! Personally, I'm stuck with the Fs and am unsure as to wether they are meant to be normally or with a G bass. I dont know, but when I do know, I'll change it!
Intro: C7 You made a fool of me, F7 G7 C(VIII) but these broken dreams have got to end
Pre-verse: C C/E C/G Am(V) G F/G G Am(V) G F/G G Am(V) G F/G G Am(V) G F/G G
Verses:
Am(V) G Dm7 G Hey woman, you got the blues Am(V) G Dm7 G 'Cause you ain't got no-one else to use Am(V) G Dm7 G There's an open road that leads no-where Am(V) G Dm7 G So just make some miles between here and there
There's a hole in my head where the rain comes in You took my body and played to win Ha ha woman, it's a cry in shame But you ain't got no-one else to blame
Chorus: Am(V) G Dm7 G Am(V) G Dm7 G E------vil Woman E------vil Woman
Am(V) G Dm7 G Am(V) G Dm7 G E------vil Woman E------vil Woman
That's it basically. Here's the rest of the verses for good measure. Have fun!
Rolled in from another town Hit some gold too hot to settle down But a fool and his money soon go separate ways And you found a fool lyin' in a daze Ha Ha woman what you gonna do You destroyed all the virtues that the Lord gave you It's so good that you're feelin' pain But you better get your face on board the very next train
[Chorus]
Evil woman how you done me wrong But now you're tryin' to wail a different song Ha Ha funny how you broke me up You made the wine now you drink the cup I came runnin' every time you cried Thought I saw love smilin' in your eyes Ha Ha woman very nice to know
That you ain't got no place left to go

First Day of My Life   Bright Eyes

















 FGC
 CEAm
 This is the first day of my life
 FGC
 Swear I was born right in the doorway
 CEAm
 I went out in the rain, suddenly everything changed
 D7G
They're spreading blankets on the beach

 CEAm
 Yours is the first face that I saw
 FGC
 Think I was blind before I met you
 CEAm
 Don't know where I am, don't know where I've been
 D7G
But I know where I want to go

 CGAm
So I thought I'd let you know
 FG
That these things take forever
 CC/BAm
I especially am slow
 Dminsus2C
But I realized how I need you and I wondered if I could come home

 GAm
 Dminsus2 Fminsus2 Fminsus2?

 CEAm
 I remember the time you drove all night
 FGC
 Just to meet me in the morning
 CEAm
 I thought it was strange, you said everything changed
 D7G
You felt as if you'd just woke up

 CEAm
And you said, 'This is the first day of my life.
 FGC
 I'm glad I didn't die before I met you.
 CEAm
 Now I don't care, I could go anywhere with you,
 D7G
And I'd probably be happy.'

 CGAm
So if you want to be with me
 FG
With these things there's no telling
 CC/BAm
We'll just have to wait and see
 Dminsus2C
But I'd rather be working for a paycheck than waiting to win the lottery

 EAm
 Dminsus2C
Besides, maybe this time its different, I mean I really think you like me

 EAm
 Dminsus2 Fminsus2 Fminsus2?
 CEAm
 Dminsus2 Fminsus2 Fminsus2?

Ghost Riders In The Sky  Stan Jones

 An old cowpoke went ridin' out one dark and lonely day,

Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way

 FDmAm
 a plowin' through the ragged skies and up a cloudy draw
 GAmF
 Am
$11$
 AmG
 Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel

 He saw the riders coming hard... and he heard their mournful cry

I Walk the Line  Johnny Cash




Intro:
 EEEEEEEE

 AE7A
 I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
 AE7A
 I keep my eyes wide open all the time.
 ADA
 I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
 AE7A
 Because you're mine, I walk the line

I find it very, very easy to be true
I find myself alone when each day is through
Yes, I'll admit I'm a fool for you
Because you're mine, I walk the line

As sure as night is dark and day is light
I keep you on my mind both day and night
And happiness I've known proves that it's right
Because you're mine, I walk the line

You've got a way to keep me on your side
You give me cause for love that I can't hide
For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide
Because you're mine, I walk the line

If you think you're winning

In the gambling den of Tai Ming

 'A little less of the con and a bit more fusion'

Lyrics
------

1. She was like so many more from that time on
Their lives were all so empty, till they'd found there chosen one,
And their legs were often open,
But their minds were always closed,
And their hearts were held in fast suburban chains

2. And the legal pads were yellow,
Hours long paypackets lean,
And the telex writers clattered
Where the gunships once had been;
But the carparks made me jumpy,
And I never stopped the dreams,
Or the growing need for speed and novacaine

3. So I worked across the country from end to end
Tried to find a place to settle down,
Where my mixed up life could mend,
Held a job on an oil-rig,
Flying choppers when I could,
But the nightlife nearly drove me round the bend.

4. And I've travelled round the world from year to year,
And each one found me aimless
One more year the worse for wear,
And I've been back to South East Asia,
And the answer sure ain't there,
But I'm drifting north,
To check things out again.

5. Well the last plane of Sydney's almost gone.
And only seven flying hours,
And I'll be landing in Hong Kong.
And there ain't nothin' like the kisses
From a jaded Chinese princess,
I'm gonna hit some Hong Kong mattress all night long

6. Well the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone.
You know the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone.
And it's really got me worried,
I'm going nowhere and I'm in a hurry.
You know the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone.

KILLING ME SOFTLY  Roberta Flack











Nntp-Posting-Host: elrond.imsd.rwth-aachen.de













 EmAm
 Strumming my pain with his fingers

 singing my life with his words
 EmA
 killing me softly with his song
 DC
killing me softly with his song
 GC
telling my whole life with his words.
 Esus4

 I heard he sang a good song
 GC
 I heard he had a style
 Am7D
 and so I came to see him
 Em
and listen for a while.
 Am7D7
 And there he was this young boy
 GB7
 a stranger to my eyes.
(Chorus)
I felt all flushed with fever
embarrassed by the crowd.
I felt he found my letters
and read each one out loud.
I prayed that he would finish
but he just kept right on.
(Chorus)
He sang as if he knew me
in all my dark despair.
And then he looked right through me
as if I wasn't there.
And he just kept on singing
singing clear and strong.
(Chorus)

Last Kiss  Pearl Jam






 GEm
 Oh Where oh where can my baby be
 CD
 the lord took her away from me
 GEm
 She's gone to heaven so I've got to be good
 CDG
 So I can see my baby when I leave this world.
 GEm
 We were out on a date in my daddy's car,
 CD
 We hadn't driven very far.
 GEm
 There in the road straight ahead,
 CD
 A car was stalled, the engine was dead.
 GEm
 I couldn't stop, so I swerved to the right,
 CD
 I'll never forget the sound that night.
 GEm
 The screaming tires, the busting glass,
 CDG
 The painful scream that I heard last.
Chorus
When I woke up, the rain was falling down,
There were people standing all around.
Something warm flowing through my eyes,
But somehow I found my baby that night.
I lifted her head, she looked at me and said;
'Hold me darling just a little while.'
I held her close I kissed her - our last kiss,
I found the love that I knew I had missed.
Well now she's gone even though I hold her tight,
I lost my love, my life that night.

Mr tambourine man  Byrds




--------------------------PLEASE NOTE---------------------------------#














 DGA
           Chorus:
 GADG
 Hey! Mister Tambourine Man, play a song for me.
 DGEmA
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
 GADG
 Hey! Mister Tambourine Man, play a song for me.
 DGEmADGD
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you.  
 GADG
Though I know that evenin's empire has returned into the sand.
 DGDG
 Vanished from my hand, left me blindly here to stand
 EmA
but still not sleeping!
 GADGDG
My weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feet I have no one to meet.
 DGEmA
And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming.
Chorus
Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship
My senses have been stripped, my hands can't feel the grip,
my toes too numb to step, wait only for my boot heels
to be wandering
I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade
Into my onw parade cast your dancing spell my way,
I promise to go under it
Chorus
Though you might hear laughin' spinnin' swingin' madly across the sun
It's not aimed at anyone, it's just escapin' on the run
And but for the sky there are no fences facin'
And if you hear vague traces of skippin' reels of rhyme
To your tambourine in time, it's just a ragged clown behind
I wouldn't pay it any mind, it's just a shadow you're
seein' that he's chasing
Chorus
Then take me dissapearin' through the smoke rings of my mind
Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves
The haunted, frightended trees out to the windy beach
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand wavin' free
Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands
With all memory and fate drive deep beneath the waves
Let me forget about today until tomorrow

Oh Comely  Neutral Milk Hotel




 EC
 Oh comely  
 E
I will be with you when you lose your breath
 CE
Chasing the only meaningful memory you thought you had left
 C
With some pretty bright and bubbly terrible scene
 E
That was doing her thing on your chest
 C
But oh comely    
 G
It isn't as pretty as you'd like to guess
In your memory you're drunk on your artery (???)
 CE
It doesn't mean anything at all

 C
Oh comely   
 E
All of your friends are letting you blow
 C
Bristling and ugly  
 E
Bursting with fruits falling out from the holes
 C
Of some pretty bright and bubbly friend
 E
You could need to say comforting things in your ear
 C
But oh comely     
 G
There isn't such one friend that you could find here
Standing next to me
He's only my enemy
 C
I'll crush him with everything I own
 G
 say what you want to say
 C
and painful your always moving your mouth
 ECDGDGDGDE
to pull out all your miracles away for me                    


 E
 Your father made fetuses
With flesh licking ladies
 C
While you and your mother
Were asleep in the trailer park
 E
 Thunderous sparks from the dark of the stadiums
 C
The music and medicine you needed for comforting
 E
So make all your fat fleshy fingers to moving
 C
And pluck all your silly strings
And bend all your notes for me
 E
 Soft silly music is meaningful magical
 C
The movements were beautiful
All in your ovaries
 E
 All of them milking with green fleshy flowers
 C
While powerful pistons were sugary sweet machines
 E
 Smelling of semen all under the garden
 C
Was all you were needing when you still believed in me

 EC
 (Da da da part)


 E
 I know they buried her body with others
 C
Her sister and mother and 500 families
 E
And will she remember me 50 years later
 C
wished I could save her in some sort of time machine
 E
 Know all your enemies
 C
We know who are enemies are

Am E (x3)

 Am
 Goldaline my dear
We will fold and freeze together
 E
 Far away from here
There is sun and spring and green forever
 Am
But now we move to feel
For ourselves inside some stranger's stomach
 E
 Place your body here
 AmE
Let your skin begin to blend itself with mine

Only Nineteen  Redgum













 4/4
 ACGDA
1) Mum and Dad and Denny saw the passing out parade at Puckapunyal
 GA
IT was a long march from cadets   
 C
The sixth battalion was the next to tour
 GD
and it was me who drew the card  
 AGA
We did Canungra and shoal water before we left   

chorus 1
 EDA
      And Townsville lined the footpaths as we marched to the quay  
 EDA
This clipping from the paper shows us young and strong and clean    
 F#MEDA
And theres me in my slouch hat with my SLR and greens  
 EF#MED
God help me I was on - ly   nine teen


2) From Vung Tau riding chinooks to the dust at Nui Dat
Id been in and out of choppers no for months
But we made our tents a home, VB, and pinups on the lockers
And an Asian orange sunset though the scrub

chorus 2
And can you tell me doctor why I still cant get to sleep
And why night times just a jungle dark and a barking M16
And whats this rash that comes and goes can you tell me what it means
God help me, i was only nineteen

3) A four week operation every step could be your last one
on two legs ; It was a war within yourself
But you wouldnt let your mates down till they had you dusted off
so you closed your eyes and thought about something else

chorus 3
The someone yelled out 'contact' and a bloke behind me swore
We hooked in there for hours then a god almighty roar
Frankie kicked a mine the day that mankind kicked the moon
God help me, he was going home in June

4)I can still see Frankie lying drinking tinnies in the Grand Hotel
On a thirty six hour rec leave in Vung Tau
And i can still see Frankie lying screaming in the jungle
till the morphine cam and killed the bloody row

chorus 4
And the Anzac legends didnt mention mud and blood and tears
And the stories that my father told me never seemed quite real
I caught some pieces in my back that I didnt even feel
God help me I was only nineteen

chorus 5 (played after chorus 4 the same as chorus 2)
And can you tell me doctor why I still cant get to sleep
And why the channel seven chopper chills me to my feet
And whats this rash that comes and goes can you tell me what it means
God help me, I was only nineteen.. D D D A C G D A G A

Another fine song from Armour Byte the
Asciizer If you want to do the world
A good turn type in some decent songs
yourself.. Like hip jive dude.. and
see you round like a record dont go
square like the cover....

Verse 1:
 DEm7
Poor old Granddad  I laughed at all his words
 DEm7
I thought he was a bitter man   He spoke of women's ways
 DEm7
They'll trap you, then they use you  Be-fore you even know
 DEm7
For love is blind and you're far too kind   Don't ever let it show

Chorus:
 DEm7G
I wish that I knew all I know now   When I was younger
 DEm7G
I wish that I knew all I know now   When I was stronger.

Main Melody x2

Verse 2:
 DEm7
The Can Can's such a pretty show   They'll steal your heart away
 DEm7
But backstage, back on earth again   The dressing rooms are great
 DEm7
They come on strong and it ain't too long   Before they make you feel a man
 DEm7
But love is blind and you soon will find   You're just a boy again

Chorus
Play around with D chord during 'solo'
Main melody x2

Verse 3:
 DEm7
When you want her lips, you get a cheek   Makes you wonder where you are
 DEm7
If you want some more and she's fast asleep   Leaves you twinkling with the stars.
 DEm7
Poor young grandson, there's nothing I can say
 DEm7
You'll have to learn, just like me  And that's the hardest way

Chorus
Main melody x2
Start ooh la la-ing
Main Melody x4

It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black
 DmAsus4
 No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
 DmAsus4
 I could not foresee this thing happening to you

My love will laugh with me before the morning comes
Repeat first verse

Streets Of Laredo  Marty Robbins









 DADAD
As I walked out in Lar-edo one day.

VERSE ONE

 DADA
 As I walked out in the streets of Lar-edo,
 DADA
as I walked out in Lar-edo one day.
 DADA
spied a young cowboy wrapped all in white linen.
 DADAD
Wrapped in white linen as cold as the clay.


CHORUS

 DADA
Oh beat the drums slowly..and play the pipe lowly
 DADA
Sing the dead march..as you carry me along
 DADA
Take me to the valley there lay the sod o're me
 DADAD
 I'm a young cowboy and know I've done wrong

.
VERSE TWO

 DADA
 I see by your outfit..that you are a cowboy.
 DADA
These words he did say as I  boldly walked by
 DADA
Come sit down be-side me and hear my sad story
 DADAD
Got shot in the breast and I know I must die.


VERSE THREE

 DADA
Go fetch me some water...a cool cup of water
 DADA
To cool my parched lips then the poor cowboy said
 DADA
before I re-turned his sprit had left him
 DADAD
had gone to his maker, the cowboy was dead.


CHORUS REPEAT

 DADA
Oh beat the drums slowly..and play the pipe lowly
 DADA
 Sing the dead march..as you carry me along
 DADA
Take me to the valley there lay the sod o're me
 DADAD
I'm a young cowboy and know I've done wrong

Streets Of London  Ralph McTell






 CFEmCAm
     So how can you tell me, you're lo - ne - ly
 D7D7GG7
   and say for you that the sun don't shine?  
 CGAmEm
 Let me take you by the hand, and lead you through the streets of London
 FCG7CC
   I'll show you something, to make you change your mind    



 CGAmEm
 Have you seen the old gal, who walks the streets of London
 FCD7G7
 dirt in her hair, and her clothes in rags?
 CGAmEm
 She's no time for talking, she just keeps right on walking
 FCG7C
 Carrying her home, in two carrier bags


CHORUS:

 CFEmCAm
     So how can you tell me, you're lo - ne - ly
 D7D7GG7
   and say for you that the sun don't shine?  
 CGAmEm
 Let me take you by the hand, and lead you through the streets of London
 FCG7CC
   I'll show you something, to make you change your mind    


 CGAmEm
 And in the all-night cafe, at a quarter past eleven
 FCD7G7
 some old man sitting there, all on his own
 CGAmEm
 Looking at the world, over the rim of his tea-cup
 FCG7C
 Each day lasts an hour, then he wanders home alone

CHORUS:

 CFEmCAm
     So how can you tell me, you're lo - ne - ly
 D7D7GG7
   and say for you that the sun don't shine?  
 CGAmEm
 Let me take you by the hand, and lead you through the streets of London
 FCG7CC
   I'll show you something, to make you change your mind    


 CGAmEm
 And have you seen the old man, outside the seaman's mission?
 FCD7G7
 His memory's fading, with those medal ribbons that he wears
 CGAmEm
 And in our winter city, the rain cries little pity
 FCG7C
 For one more forgotten hero, and a world that doesn't care

 CFEmCAm
     So how can you tell me, you're lo - ne - ly
 D7D7GG7
   and say for you that the sun don't shine?  
 CGAmEm
 Let me take you by the hand, and lead you through the streets of London
 FCG7CC
   I'll show you something, to make you change your mind

Teach Your Children  Graham Nash






Intro has one bar of each chord:

 DGDA

 DG
 You who are on the road
 DA
Must have a code that you can live by
 DG
And so become yourself
 DA
Because the past is just a good-bye.


 DG
 Teach your children well,
 DA
Their father's hell did slowly go by,
 DG
And feed them on your dreams
 DA
The one they picks, the one you'll know by.


 DGD
 Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry,
 BmGA
So just look at them and sigh   
 D
and know they love you.
 GDA
     


 DG
 And you, of tender years,
 DA
Can't know the fears that your elders grew by,
 DG
And so please help them with your youth,
 DA
They seek the truth before they can die.

 DG
 Teach your parents well,
 DA
Their children's hell will slowly go by,
 DG
And feed them on your dreams
 DA
The one they picks, the one you'll know by.


 DGD
 Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry,
 BmGA
So just look at them and sigh   
 D
and know they love you.
 GDAD
       

Wish you well,

The Biggest Disappointment  Slim Dusty









 CGCD
   They had my future wrapped up in a parcel
 CDG
and no one even thought of asking me.
 CD
The day I turned fifteen I caght the mailtrain
 CDG
To find what else might be in life for me.
 EmB7
I rode on trucks and trains and lived on nothing;
 EmA7
Served me right for wanting to be free-
 GCD
Ah well that's the way society looked at it,
 CDG
But it didn't seem to be that way to me.


Chorus
 GDG
And the biggest disappointment in the family was me;
 CD7
the only twisted branch upon our good old fam'y tree
 GB7Em
I just couldn't be the person they ecpected me to be
 GCDG
A7 And the biggest disappiontment in the world was me



A lot more dinner times than there dinners

I learned a lot that hurt me at the time

Then this quiet country boy came home a different man

with a memory of distance on my mind

But i always spoke to loud and drank to often,

Maybe drank to many glasses down

And perhaps my clothes were older that I realized

A relief to all concerned when I left town

To Her Door  Paul Kelly











 GDCG

 GDCG
 They got married early, never had no money,

 GDCG
 Then when he got laid off, they really hit the skids,

 GDCG
 He started up his drinking, then they started fighting,

 GDCG
 He took it pretty badly, she took both the kids,

 GEmDCD
 She said: 'I'm not standing by, to watch you slowly die,  

 CDGD
So watch me walking, *  out the door,'     

 CGDC
Out the door, out the doorout the door.


* - CODA

 DEmDCD
 to her, Shaking in his seat, Riding through the streets,   

 CDGD
In a silvertop, to her door,    

 CGD
to her door, to her door,    

 CG
to her door.    

 GDCG
Repeat and fade.

She went to her brother's, got a little bar work,
He went to the buttery, stayed about a year,
Then he wrote a letter, said I want to see you,
She thought he sounded better, she sent him up the fare,
He was riding through the cane, in the pouring rain,
On Olympic, to her door.

He came in on a Sunday, every muscle aching,
Walking in slow motion, like he'd just been hit,
Did they have a future? Would he know his children?
Could he make a picture and get them all to fit?
He was shaking in his seat, riding through the streets,
In a silvertop to her,
Shaking in his seat, riding through the streets,
In a silvertop to her door.

Turn the Page  Bob Seger


Verse 1

 Em
On a long and lonesome highway east of Omaha
 D
You can listen to the engine, moanin' out its one note song
 AEm
You can think about the woman, or the girl you knew the night before . . .
 Em
But your thoughts will soon be wandering the way they always do
 D
When you're riding sixteen hours and there's nothing much to do
 AEm
And you don't feel much like ridin', you just wish the trip was through .

 DEm
Here I am, on the road again
 DEm
There I am, up on stage
 DA
Here I go, playing the star again
 CDEm
There I go, turn the page


Verse 2

 Em
You walk into a restaurant, strung out from the road
 D
And you feel the eyes upon you, as you're shaking off the cold
 AEm
You pretend it doesn't bother you, but you just want to explode . . .
 Em
Most times you cant hear 'em talk, other times you can
 D
All the same old cliches is that a woman or a man
 AEm
And you always seem outnumbered, you dont dare make a stand .
Chorus


 Em
 Out there in the spotlight, you're a million miles away
 D
 Every ounce of energy you try to give away
 AEm
As the sweat pours out your body like the music that you play . . .

Verse 3

 Em
 Later in evening, as you lie awake in bed
 D
 With the echoes from the amplifiers ringin' in your head
 AEm
You smoke the day's last cigarette, remembering what she said . . .
Chorus

Utah Carol-crd  Marty Robbins









UTAH CAROL
Marty Robbins 'Gunfighter Ballads'
Capo 3 play C
 CFC
 And now my friends you've asked me what makes me sad and still
 G7C
And why my brow is darkened, like the clouds upon the hill
 FFC
Run in your ponies closer, and I'll tell to you my tale
 G7C
Of Utah Carol my partner, and his last ride on the trail
 FC
 We rode the range together, and rode it side by side
 G7C
I loved him like a brother, and I wept when Utah died
 FCFC
We were roundin up one morning, when work was almost done
 G7C
When on his side the cattle, started on a frightened run
 FC
Underneath the saddle, that the bosses daughter rode
 G7C
Utah that very morning, had placed a bright red robe
 FFC
So the saddle might ride easy, for Lenore his little friend
 G7C
And it was this red blanket, the brought him to his end
 FC
The blanket was now dragging, behind her on the ground
 G7C
The frightened cattle saw it, and charged it with a bound
 FFC
Lenore then saw her danger, and turned her ponies face
 G7C
And leaning in the saddle, tied the blanket to its place
 FC
But in leaning lost her balance, fell in front of that wild tide
 G7C
Lay still Lenore I'm coming, were the words that Utah cried
 FFC
His faithful pony saw her, and reached her with a bound
 G7C
I thought he'd been successful, and raised her from the ground
 FC
But the weight upon the saddle, had not been felt before
 G7C
His back cinch snapped like thunder, and he fell by Lenore
 FFC
Picking up the blanket, he swung it o're his head
 G7
And started cross the prarie, lay still Lenore he said
 FC
When he got the stamped turned, and saved Lenore his friend
 G7C
Then turned to face the cattle, and meet his fateful end
 FCFC
His six gun flashed like lightning, the report was loud and clear
 G7C
As the cattle rushed and killed him, he dropped the leading steer
 FC
On his funeral morning, I heard the preacher say
 G7C
I hope we'll all meet Utah, at the roundup far away
 FCFC
Then they wrapped him in a blanket, that saved his little friend
 G7C
And it was this red blanket, that brought him to his end

Waltzing Matilda  Misc. Traditional




















 4/4
 DABmGD
 Once a jolly swagman camp'd by a billabong
 DA7D/F#A7D
 under the shade of a cool-i-bah tree and he
 DABmG
 sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled
 DA7D
 You'll come a waltzing Ma-til-da with me


chorus:
 D/F#GD
        Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda,
 DGDD/F#A/C#
        you'll come a waltzing Ma-til-da with me and he
 DA7BmG
        sang as watched and waited till his billy boiled
 DA7D
        you'll come a waltzing Matilda with me 


Down came a jumbuck to drink at the wqater-hole
Up Jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee
And he sang as he stowed that jumpbuck in his tucker bag
You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me

Down came the Squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred
Down came the troopers, one , two and three
Whose is that jumbuck you've got in ya tucker-bag?
You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me

But the swagman he up and jumped in the water-hole
Drowning himself by the Coolibah tree
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by the billabong
Who'll come a waltzing Matilda with me

When You Say Nothing At All  Ronan Keating


















 DCadd9D5
It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart

 DCadd9D5
Without saying a word, you can light up the dark

 Cadd9DD5
Try as I may, I can never explain

 GDCadd9D5
What I hear when you don't say a thing

Chorus (play rhythm now)

 GDCadd9D5
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me

 GDCadd9D5
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me

 GDCadd9D5
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me wherever I fall

 Cadd9D5
You say it best....... when you say nothing at all

chords as before:

All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd
Try as they may, they can never define
What's been said between your heart and mine
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never
leave me

The touch of your hand says you'll catch me where
ever I fall

You put your arms around me,             

 G
You put your arms around


What's spraying on the kitchen sink
What's this I have time to think
I see the tip of my index finger
My mind is slowly creating a link
From your mouth speaks your lovely voice
The best comments I've ever heard
Oh honey you've cut off your finger
I bet that gonna hurt
You put your arms around me
You put your arms around me
You put your arms around


I must have passed out on the porch
I'd never seen so many bright stars
When I wake up I'm in the waiting room A
At the local ER
My hand is wrapped in toilet paper
And my shirt's all blood red
I see you standing there like an angel
And I say “Baby I must be dead”
You put your arms around me
You put your arms around me
You put your arms around
