the money we've got To worry, worry, super-scurry

Set them free at the break of dawn Call out the troops now in a hurry

'Til one by one, they were gone This is what we've waited for

Back at base, bugs in the software This is it boys, this is war

from somewhere else In every one a red balloon
E F#m It's all over and I'm standin' pretty
The war machine springs to life In the dust that was a city

Opens up one eager eye Just to prove the world was here...
E F#m And here it is, a red balloon
Focusing it on the sky I think of you and let it go.
A B
As 99 red balloons go by.

Across The Universe (Beatles)


Capo 3rd fret
D Bm F#m
Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup

They slither while they pass they slip away across the Universe.

Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind

Possessing and caressing me.

Nothing's gonna change my world

Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes

They call me on and on across the Universe.
D Bm F#m
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letterbox
Em7 A A7
They tumble blindly as they make their way across the Universe.

CHORUS

D Bm F#m
Sounds of laughter, shades of earth are ringing through my opened ears

Inciting and inviting me.
D Bm F#m Em7
Limitless, undying love which shines around me like a million suns

And calls me on and on across the Universe.

Jai Guru Deva. (Repeat)

After the Gold Rush (Neil Young)

D G D A
Well, I dreamed I saw the knights in armour I was thinking about what a friend had said
coming, C G
D G I was hoping it was a lie
Sayin' something about a queen. D A
D thinking about what a friend had said
There where peasants singin' C G
A I was hoping it was a lie
and drummers drummin'
G A solo (lasts one verse)
And the archer split the tree.
Bm C
There was a fanfare blowin' to the sun
G C D G
that was floating on the breeze. Well I dreamed I saw the silver spaceship
D A flying
Look at Mother Nature on the run D G
C G In the yellow haze of the sun
In the nineteen seventies. D A
D A There were children crying and colours
Look at Mother Nature on the run flying
C G G A
In the nineteen seventies. All around the chosen one
Bm C
D G All in a dream, all in a dream
I was lying in a burned out basement G C
D G The loading had begun
With a full moon in my eye D A
D A Flying mother nature's silver seed
I was hoping for replacement C G
G A To a new home in the sun
When the sun burst through the sky D A
Bm C Flying mother nature's silver seed
There was a band playing in my head C G
G C To a new home
And I felt like getting high

Blackbird singing in the dead of night


Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free.

Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly


Into the light of a dark black night.

Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly


Into the light of a dark black night.

Both Sides Now (Joni Mitchell)


G C G G
Bows and flows of angel hair, I've looked at love
C G CG
And ice cream castles in the air, from both sides now,
C C G C G
And feather canyons everywhere: From give and take, and still somehow
C/B Am7 D Bm C G
I've looked at clouds that way. It's love's illusions I recall
G C G G Asus7 G
But now they only block the sun, I really don't know love at all.
C G
They rains and snow on everyone. G G/C - G G/C - G G/C - G
C
So many things I could have done,
C/B Am7 D G C G
But clouds got in my way. Tears and fears and feeling proud,
C G
G C To say, "I love you" right out loud;
I've looked at clouds from both sides now, C
C G C G Dreams and schemes and circus crowds;
From up and down, and still somehow C/B Am7 D
Bm C G I've looked at life that way.
It's clouds' illusions I recall G C G
G Asus7 G But now old friends are acting strange.
I really don't know clouds at all. They shake their heads,
C G
G G/C - G G/C - G G/C - G they say I've changed.
But something's lost
G C G C
Moons and Junes and ferris wheels, and something's gained
C G C/B Am7 D
The dizzy, dancing way you feel, In living every day.
C
When every fairy tale comes real: G C G
C/B Am7 D I've looked at life from both sides now,
I've looked at love that way. C G C G
G C G From win and lose, and still somehow
But now it's just another show, Bm C G

You leave them, laughing as you go. G Asus7 G

The Circle Game (Joni Mitchell)

G C G G C G
Yesterday a child came out to wonder, Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now,

Caught a dragonfly inside a jar. Cartwheels turn to car wheels

Fearful when the sky is full of thunder, through the town.
C G Am7 G C G G C
And tearful at the falling of a star. And they tell him, "Take your time,
Bm
CHORUS it won't be long now,
G Am7 G C G Am7 G C G
And the seasons, they go 'round and 'round, 'Till you drag your feet to slow the circle down."

We're captive on the carousel of time.
C G C G
We can't return, we can only look So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty,

Behind From where we came, Though his dreams have lost some grandeur
G Am7 D7
And go 'round and 'round and 'round coming true.

Then the child moved ten times C G Am7 G C G

Skated over ten clear frozen streams.

Words like "when you're older"

Clementine (Traditional)

D
In a cavern in a canyon How I missed her! How I missed her,
D A7 How I missed my Clementine,
Excavating for a mine But I kissed her little sister,
D I forgot my Clementine.
Dwelt a miner forty-niner
A7 D CHORUS
And his darling Clementine
Listen, Girl Scouts, heed the warning
CHORUS To this tragic tale of mine
D Artificial respiration
Oh my darling oh my darling Could have saved my Clementine
A7
Oh my darling Clementine
D
Thou art lost and gone for ever
A7 D
Dreadful sorry Clementine

Light she was and like a fairy,


And her shoes were number nine,
Herring boxes, without topses,
Sandals were for Clementine.

CHORUS

Drove she ducklings to the water


Ev'ry morning just at nine,
Hit her foot against a splinter,
Fell into the foaming brine.

CHORUS

Ruby lips above the water,


Blowing bubbles, soft and fine,
But, alas, I was no swimmer,
So I lost my Clementine.

To the reason for this valley I will come
And wash myself there
Of all of my cares
Through mystery and water there is love
There is love

Down in the valley, the valley so low

Hang your head over, hear the wind blow

Hear the wind blow, dear, hear the wind blow

Hang your head over, hear the wind blow

Roses love sunshine, violets love dew


Angels in heaven, know I love you
Know I love you, dear, know I love you
Angels in heaven, know I love you

If you don't love me, love whom you please


Throw your arms 'round me, give my heart ease
Give my heart ease, dear, give my heart ease
Throw your arms 'round me, give my heart ease

Build me a castle 40 feet high


So I can see you as you ride by
As you ride by, dear, as you ride by
So I can see you as you ride by

Write me a letter, send it by mail


Send it in care of the Birmingham jail
Birmingham jail, dear, the Birmingham jail
Send it in care of the Birmingham jail

Writing this letter containing three lines


Answer my question "Will you be mine?"
Will you be mine, dear, will you be mine
Answer my question "Will you be mine?"

Hello
I've waited here for you
Everlong

Tonight
I throw myself into
And out of the red, out of her head she sang

Come down
And waste away with me
Down with me

Slow how
You wanted it to be
I'm over my head, out of her head she sang

Chorus
And I wonder
When I sing along with you
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again

The only thing I'll ever ask of you


You've got to promise not to stop when I say when
She sang

Breathe out
So I could breathe you in
Hold you in

And now
I know you've always been
Out of your head, out of my head I sang

Folsom Prison Blues (Johnny Cash)

E
I hear the train a-comin'; it's rollin' 'round the bend,
And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when,
A7 E
I'm stuck in Folsom Prison and time keeps draggin' on.
B7 E
But that train keeps a-rollin' on down to San Antone.

E
When I was just a baby, my momma told me, "Son,
Always be a good boy; don't ever play with guns."
A7 E
But I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die.
B7 E
When I hear that whistle blowin', I hang my head and cry.

SOLO

E
I bet there's rich folk eatin'in a fancy dining car.
They're prob'ly drinkin' coffee and smokin' big cigars,
A7 E
But I know I had it comin', I know I can't be free,
B7 E
But those people keep a-movin', and that's what tortures me.

E
Well if they freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine,
I bet I'd move it all a little farther down the line,
A7 E
Far from Folsom Prison, that's where I'd want to stay,
B7 E
And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away.

Good Riddance (Green Day)

G C D
Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
G C D
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
Em D C G
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why
Em D C G
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time

CHORUS
Em G Em G
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
Em D G
I hope you had the time of your life.

G C D
So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind
G C D
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time
Em D C G
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial
Em D C G
For what it's worth it was worth all the while

To jump in the river and drown.

Stop staying out late at night.
Go home to your wife and family.
Stay there by the fireside bright.

Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen)

Well I've heard there was a secret chord, There was a time when you let me know,

That David played and it pleased the Lord, What's really going on below,
F G C G F G C G
But you don't really care for music, do ya? But now you never show it to me do ya.

It goes like this, the 4th, the 5th, Well remember when I moved in you,

The minor fall and the major lift, And the holy dove was moving too,

The baffled king composing hallelujah, And every breath we drew was hallelujah,

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu------jah Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu------jah

C Am C Am
Your faith was strong but you needed proof, Maybe there is a God above,
C Am C Am
You saw her bathing on the roof, But all I ever learned from love,
F G C G F G C G
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya, Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew ya.
C F G C F G
She tied you to her kitchen chair, And it's not a cry you can hear and night,
Am F Am F
She broke your throne and she cut your hair, It's not somebody who's seen the light,
G E7 Am G E7 Am
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah, It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah,
F Am F C G C F Am F C G
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu------jah Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-jah

Well baby I've been here before, Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu------jah

I know this room and I've walked this floor,
F G C G
I used to live alone before I knew ya.

And I've seen your flag on the marble arch,

And love is not a victory march,

It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah,

There's a pale drooping maiden who toils her life away,

Oh, hard times come again no more.

CHORUS

Tis a sigh that is wafted across the troubled wave,

How's It Gonna Be (Third Eye Blind)

E B A
I'm only pretty sure that I can't take anymore F#m A E B
E B A Hows it going to be , When you don't know me any
Before you take a swing, I wonder What are we more
fighting for F#m A
E B A And how's it going to be
When I say out loud I want to get out of this, I
wonder
E B A
Is there anything I'm going to miss E B A
Want to get myself back in again
F#m B E B A
I wonder How it's going to be When you don't know The soft dive of oblivion
me E B A
F#m A Wanna taste the soul of your skin
E B A
How's it going to be When you're sure I'm not there The soft dive of oblivion
F#m B Oblivion
How's it going to be When there is no one to talk to,
F#m A F#m A E
between you and me , 'Cause I don't care, How's it B
going to be Hows it going to be When you don't know me any
more
E B A F#m A
Where we used to laugh, There's a shouting match, And how's it going to be
Sharp as a thumbnail
E B A How's it going to be
scratch, A silence I can't ignore Like The hammocks E B A
by the doorway we spent
E B A
time in, swings empty, don't see lightning like last
fall when it was
E B A
always about to hit me

F#m B
I wonder how's it going to be when it goes down
F#m A
Hows it going to be When your not around
F#m B
Hows it going to be When you found out there was
nothing
F#m A F#m B A
Between you and me 'Cause I don't care How's it (really susp)
going to be.

I Will Survive (Gloria Gaynor)

Intro: E7

Am Dm
At first I was afraid, I was petrified,
G Cmaj7
Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side.
Fmaj7 Bm7b5
But then I spent so many nights, thinking how you did me wrong,
Esus4 E
And I grew strong; and I learned how to get along.

Am Dm
But now you're back, from outer space,
G Cmaj7
I just walked in, to find you here, with that sad look upon your face.
Fmaj7 Bm7b5
I should have changed that stupid lock, I should've made you leave your key,
Esus4 E
If I had known for just one second, you'd be back to bother me.

Chorus

Am Dm
Go on now, go; walk out the door;
G Cmaj7
Just turn a-round now, 'cos you're not welcome anymore.
Fmaj7 Bm7b5
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye?
Esus4 E
Did you think I'd crumble; did you think I'd lay down and die?
Am Dm
Oh no, not I; I will sur-vive,
G Cmaj7
Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive.
Fmaj7 Bm7b5
I've got all my life to live, and I've got all my love to give,
Esus4 E (Am)
And I'll sur-vive, I will sur-vive, I will sur-vive...

Esus4 E7
I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high.
Am Dm
And you see me; somebody new,
G Cmaj7
I'm not that chained up little person, still in love with you.
Fmaj7 Bm7b5
And so you felt like dropping in and just ex-pect me to be free,

Well, now I'm saving all my loving, for some-one who's loving me.

To win some or learn some.... A

Indian Summer (Luna)


D G (the whole song)

Breakfast in cemetery
Boy tasting wild cherry
Touch girl, apple blossom
Just a boy playing possum

We'll come back for Indian Summer


We'll come back for Indian Summer
We'll come back for Indian Summer
And go our separate ways

What is that cheerful sound?


Rain falling on the ground
We'll wear a jolly crown
Buckle up, we're wayward bound

We'll come back for Indian Summer


We'll come back for Indian Summer
We'll come back for Indian Summer
And go our separate ways

Motorbike to cemetery
Picnic on wild berries
French toast with molasses
Croquet and Baked Alaskas

We'll come back for Indian Summer


We'll come back for Indian Summer
We'll come back for Indian Summer
And go our separate ways

Cover me with rain


Walk me down the lane
I'll drink from your drain
We will never change
No matter what they say

Kathy's Song (Simon & Garfunkel)

I hear the drizzle of the rain


Like a memory it falls
Soft and warm continuing
Tapping on my roof and walls.

And from the shelter of my mind


Through the window of my eyes
I gaze beyond the rain-drenched streets
To England where my heart lies.

My mind's distracted and diffused


My thoughts are many miles away
They lie with you when you're asleep
And kiss you when you start your day.

And a song I was writing is left undone


I don't know why I spend my time
Writing songs I can't believe
With words that tear and strain to rhyme.

And so you see I have come to doubt


All that I once held as true
I stand alone without beliefs
The only truth I know is you.

And as I watch the drops of rain


Weave their weary paths and die
I know that I am like the rain
There but for the grace of you go I.

Margaritaville (Jimmy Buffett)

G
Living on sponge cake, watching the sun bake
D
All of those tourists covered with oil

Strumming my six string, on my front porch swing


G
Smell those shrimp, they're beginning to boil.

CHORUS
C D G
Wasting away again in Margaritaville
C D G
Searching for my lost shaker of salt
C D GD C
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
D G
But I know, it's nobody's fault.

G
Don't know the reason, I stayed here all season
D
Nothing is sure but this brand new tattoo

But it's a real beauty, a Mexican cutie


G
How it got here I haven't a clue.

CHORUS

G
I blew out my flip flop, stepped on a pop top
D
Cut my heel, had to cruise on back home

But there's booze in the blender, and soon it will render


G
That frozen concoction that helps me hang on.

The Mountain (Levon Helm)

I was born on this mountain a long time ago
G Am C D
Before they knocked down the timber and strip-mined all the coal
G Em
When you rose up in the mornin' before it was daylight
G Am C G
To go down in that dark hole and come back up at night

G Em
I was born on this mountain, this mountain's my home
G Am C D
She holds me and she keeps me from worry and woe

Well, they took everything she gave, she gave it now she's gone

But I'll die on this mountain, this mountain's my home

I was young on this mountain, but now I am old
G Am C D
And I knew every holler, every cool swimmin' hole
G Em
Till one night I lay down and woke up to find
G Am C G
That my childhood was over and I went back down in the mine

G Em
There's a hole in this mountain and it's dark and it's deep
G Am C D
And God only knows all the secrets it keeps
G Em
There's a chill in the air only miners can feel
G Am C G
There are ghosts in the tunnels that the company sealed

Fare ye well, I say She would neither sing or pray

CHORUS He invited me to supper
I stumped my toe on the table leg
Old Joe Clark had a house And stuck my nose in the butter
Fifteen stories high
And every story in that house CHORUS
Was filled with chicken pie Now I wouldn't marry a widder
Tell you the reason why
CHORUS She'd have so many children
They'd make those biscuits fly
Old Joe Clark had a mule
His name was Morgan Brown CHORUS
And every tooth in that mule's head
Was sixteen inches around Sixteen horses in my team
The leaders they are blind
CHORUS And every time the sun goes down
There's a pretty girl on my mind
Old Joe had a chicken coop
Eighteen stories high CHORUS
And every chicken in that coop
Turned into chicken pie Eighteen miles of mountain road
And fifteen miles of sand
CHORUS If ever travel this road again
I'll be a married man
When I was a little girl
I used to play with toys CHORUS
But now I am a bigger girl,
I'd rather play with boys Old Joe Clark's a fine old man
Tell you the reason why
CHORUS He keeps good likker 'round his house
Good old Rock and Rye

One On The Right Was On The Left (Jack Clement)

G G7 C G
There once was a musical troop a pickin' singin' folk group
C G D7
They sang the mountain ballads and the folk songs of our land
G G7 C G
They were long on musical ability folks thought they would go far
C G D7 G
But political incompatibility led to their downfall

Well the one on the right was on the left

And the guy in the rear was a Methodist

This musical aggregation toured the entire nation

Singing traditional ballads and the folk songs of our land

They performed with great virtuosity and soon they were the rage

But political animosity prevailed upon the stage

Well the one on the right was on the left

And the one on the middle was on the right

And the guy in the rear burned his driver's license

Well, I woke up Sunday morning

With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt G C

And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad G

So I had one more for dessert D

Then I fumbled in my closet through my clothes G

And found my cleanest dirty shirt C
C D And there nothing short of dying
Then I washed my face and combed my hair G
C D G That’s half as lonesome as the sound
Stumbled down the stairs to meet the day D
Of a sleeping city sidewalk
G G
I smoked my mind the night before and Sunday morning coming down
C D G
With cigarettes and songs that I'd been pickin' G
G In the park I saw a daddy
But I lit my first and watched a small boy C D G
Em D With a laughin' little girl that he'd been swingin'
Cussin' at a can that he'd been kickin' G Em
G And I stopped beside a Sunday school
I crossed the empty street D
C Listened to the songs that they were singin'
Caught the Sunday smell G C
G G/F# Em I headed down the road, Somewhere far away
of someone fryin' chicken G G/F# Em

And it took me back to somethin' that I'd lost C D

Sweet Home Alabama (Lynryd Skynryd)

Carry me home to see my kin They pick me up when I'm feeling blue
D C G Now how about you?
Singing songs about the Southland
D C G CHORUS X2
I miss Alabamy once again

And I think its a sin, yes

Well I heard mister Young sing about her

Chuck him in the long boat till he's sober Put him in the scuppers with a hose-pipe on him

Shave his belly with a rusty razor Pull out the plug and wet him all over

Give 'im a hair of the dog that bit him. Tie him to the taffrail when she's yardarm
under
Put him in the bilge and make him drink it.
Heave him by the leg in a runnin' bowline.
Put him in bed with the captain's daughter. Give 'im a dose of salt and water

Put him in charge of on Exxon tanker Give 'im a taste of the bosun's rope-end.

Put him in the long-boat and make him bale her Soak him in oil till he sprouts a flipper

Lock him in the guard room 'til he gets sober Put him in a boat and row him over

You Can’t Always Get What You Want (Rolling Stones)


C F C F... CHORUS
C F
I saw her today at the reception I went down to the Chelsea drugstore
C F To get your prescription filled.
A glass of wine in her hand I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy,
C F And man, did he look pretty ill.
I knew she was gonna meet her connection We decided that we would have a soda,
C F My favorite flavor, cherry red.
At her feet was a footloose man I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy,
And he said one word to me, and that was
CHORUS "dead,"
C F I said to him:
You can't always get what you want
C F CHORUS
You can't always get what you want
C F [instrumental]
You can't always get what you want You'll get what you need--yeah, oh baby.
D
But if you try sometimes, I saw her today at the reception,
F In her glass was a bleeding man.
You might find She was practiced at the art of deception,
C F C F Well I could tell by her bloodstained hands.
You get what you need... ahhhhhhh,
yeah..... CHORUS x 2

I went down to the demonstration,


To get my fair share of abuse.
Singing "we're gonna vent our frustration,
And if we don't we're gonna blow a 50-amp
fuse."

Zombie (Cranberries)
Em C Em C
Another head hangs lowly, It's the same old theme since nineteen-sixteen.
G D/F# G D/F#
Child is slowly taken. In your head, in your head they're still fighting,
Em C Em
And the violence caused such silence, With their tanks and their bombs,
G D/F# C
Who are we mistaken? And their bombs and their guns.
G D/F#
Em C In your head, in your head, they are dying...
But you see, it's not me, it's not my family. CHORUS
G D/F#
In your head, in your head they are fighting, Solo
Em
With their tanks and their bombs, CHORUS
C
And their bombs and their guns. Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, oh, oh,
G D/F# Oh, oh, oh, oh, hey, oh, ya, ya-a...
In your head, in your head, they are crying...

CHORUS
Em C
In your head, in your head,
G D/F#
Zombie, zombie, zombie, Hey, hey, hey.
Em C
What's in your head, In your head,
G D/F#
Zombie, zombie, zombie?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, dou, dou, dou, dou, dou...

Em C
Another mother's breakin',
G D/F#
Heart is taking over.
Em C
When the vi'lence causes silence,
G D/F#
We must be mistaken.
