Verse 1
Each time we have a quarrel, it almost breaks my heart Cause I am so afraid that we will have to part Each night I ask .. the stars up a bove (PAUSE) Why must I beee a teenager in love? ///
One day I feel so happy . next day I feel so sad I guess I'll learn to take . the good with the bad Each night I ask .. the stars up a bove (PAUSE) Why must I beee a teenager in love? .. ///
I cried a tear . for nobody but you I'll be a lonely one if you should say were through
Well if you want to make me cry .. that won't be hard to do And if you say goodbye .. I’ll still go on loving you Each night I ask .. the stars up a bove (PAUSE) Why must I beee a teenager in love?

AIN’T SHE SWEET -‐ http://www.tab-‐ukulele.com
Ain’t she sweet ? See her coming down the street
Now I ask you very confidentially, Ain’t she sweet ?
Ain’t she nice ? Look her over once or twice.
Now I ask you very confidentially, ain’t she nice ?
Just cast an eye in her direction
Oh, me ! Oh, my ! Ain’t that perfection ?
I re -‐ peat, Don’t you think that’s kind of neat ?
And I ask you very confidentially ain’t she sweet ?

From: Richard G’s Ukulele Songbook www.scorpex.net/Uke
Intro: [G] [Em] [C] [D7]
I rem[G]ember when rock was young
Me and [Bm] Susie had so much fun
Holding [C] hands and skimmin' stones
Had an [D7] old gold Chevy and a place of my own
But the [G] biggest kick I ever got
Was doin' a [Bm] thing called the Crocodile Rock
While the [C] other kids were rockin' 'round the clock
We were [D7] hoppin' and boppin' to the Crocodile Rock well
Chorus: [Em] Crocodile Rockin' is something shockin'
When your [A7] feet just can't keep still
[D] I never had me a better time and I [G] guess I never will
[E7] Oh lawdy mamma those Friday nights
When [A7] Susie wore her dresses tight and
[D7] Crocodile Rockin' was out of [C] sight
[G] La…la la la la [Em] la…la la la la [C] la….la la la la [D7] la….
But the [G] years went by and rock just died
[Bm] Susie went and left me for some foreign guy
[C] Long nights cryin' by the record machine
[D] Dreamin' of my Chevy and my old blue jeans
But they'll [G] never kill the thrills we've got
Burnin' [Bm] up to the Crocodile Rock
Learning [C] fast as the weeks went past
We really [D7] thought the Crocodile Rock would last well
Chorus
Repeat verse 1

[G] I hear the train a comin' it's rolling round the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine since [G7] I don't know when
I'm [C] stuck in Folsom prison and time keeps draggin' [G] on
But that [D7] train keeps a rollin' on down to San An[G]ton
[G] When I was just a baby my mama told me son
Always be a good boy don't [G7] ever play with guns
But I [C] shot a man in Reno just to watch him [G] die
When I [D7] hear that whistle blowing
I hang my head and [G] cry
[G] I bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car
They're probably drinkin' coffee and [G7] smoking big cigars
Well I [C] know I had it coming I know I can't be [G] free
But those [D7] people keep a movin'
And that's what tortures [G] me
[G] Well if they'd free me from this prison
If that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move it all a little [G7] further down the line
[C] Far from Folsom prison that's where I want to [G] stay
And I'd [D7] let that lonesome whistle blow my blues a[G]way

Intro: [Em] [B7] [D] [A] [C] [G] [Am] [B7] x 2
[Em] On a dark desert highway [B7] cool wind in my hair
[D] Warm smell of colitas [A] rising up through the air
[C] Up ahead in the distance [G] I saw a shimmering light
[Am] My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
[B7] I had to stop for the night
[Em] There she stood in the doorway [B7] I heard the mission bell
[D] And I was thinking to myself this could be [A] heaven or this could be hell
[C] Then she lit up a candle [G] and she showed me the way
[Am] There were voices down the corridor [B7] I thought I heard them say
Chorus: [C] Welcome to the Hotel Cali[G]fornia
Such a [Am] lovely place such a [Em] lovely face
(1) [C] Plenty of room at the Hotel Cali[G]fornia
Any [Am] time of year you can [B7] find it here
(2) They [C] livin' it up at the Hotel Cali[G]fornia
What a [Am] nice surprise bring your [B7] alibis
[Em] Her mind is Tiffany twisted [B7] she got the Mercedes bends
[D] She got a lot of pretty pretty boys [A] that she calls friends
[C] How they dance in the courtyard [G] sweet summer sweat
[Am] Some dance to remember [B7] some dance to forget
[Em] So I called up the captain [B7] please bring me my wine
He said [D] we haven't had that spirit here since [A] nineteen sixty-nine
[C] And still those voices are calling from [G] far away
[Am] Wake you up in the middle of the night [B7] just to hear them say
Chorus 2
[Em] Mirrors on the ceiling [B7] the pink champagne on ice
And she said [D] we are all just prisoners here [A] of our own device
[C] And in the master's chambers [G] they gathered for the feast
[Am] They stab it with their steely knives but they [B7] just can't kill the beast
[Em] Last thing I remember I was [B7] running for the door
[D] I had to find the passage back to the [A] place I was before
[C] Relax said the nightman we are [G] programmed to receive
[Am] You can check out anytime you like [B7] but you can never leave
Repeat Chorus 2 and finish on [Em]

Standing by the fruit store on the corner Once I heard a customer com plain
You never seem to show The fruit we all love so
That's why busi ness hasn't been the same
I don't like your peaches, They are full of stones I like bananas because they have no bones!
Don't give me to matoes, Can't stand icecream cones I like bananas because they have no bones!
No matter where I go,With Susie, May or Anna
I want the world to know, I must have my ba nanas
Cabbages and onions Hurt my singing tones I like bananas because they have no bones!
We don’t like to whistle Can’t blow saxaphone We like bananas because they have no bones!

[C] Down the way where the [F] nights are gay
And the [G7] sun shines daily on the [C] mountaintop
[C] I took a trip on a [F] sailing ship
And when I [G7] reached Jamaica I [C] made a stop
Chorus: But I'm [C] sad to [Am] say I'm [Dm] on my way
[G7] Won't be back for [C] many a day
[C] My heart is [Am] down
My head is [Dm] turning around
I had to [G7] leave a little girl in [C] Kingston town
[C] Down at the market [F] you can hear
Ladies [G7] cry out while on their [C] heads they bear
[C] Akee rice salt [F] fish are nice
And the [G7] rum is fine any [C] time of year
Chorus
[C] Sounds of laughter [F] everywhere
And the [G7] dancing girls swaying [C] to and fro
[C] I must declare my [F] heart is there
Though I've [G7] been from Maine to [C] Mexico
Chorus
[C] Down the way where the [F] nights are gay
And the [G7] sun shines daily on the [C] mountaintop
[C] I took a trip on a [F] sailing ship
And when I [G7] reached Jamaica I [C] made a stop

[C] I'm leaning on a [G7] lamp, Maybe you [C6] think, I look a [G7] tramp, [G7] Or you may [C] think I'm hanging [D7-alt] 'round to steal a car. [G7] But [C] no I'm not a [G7] crook, And if you [C6] think, that's what I [G7] look, [G7] I'll tell you [C] why I'm here, and [D7] what my motives are. [G7] [C] I'm leaning on a lamp-post at the corner of the street, [C] In case a [G7] certain little lady comes [C] by. Oh [G7] me, oh [C] my, I [G7] hope the little [D7] lady comes by.

Plastic JesusPaul Newman
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dG9tuuznL1Y (but in B)
I don't care if it rains or freezes Long as I have my plastic Jesus Sitting on the dashboard of my car Comes in colors pink and pleasant Glows in the dark cause it's iridescent Take Him with you when you travel far
Plastic Jesus, Plastic Jesus Riding on the dashboard of my car I'm afraid He'll have to go
His magnets ruin my radio And if I have a wreck He'll leave a scar
Get yourself a Sweet Madonna Dressed in rhinestones sittin on a Pedestal of abalone shell Goin' ninety, I ain't scary 'Cause I've got my Virgin Mary
As suring me that I won't go to Hell
Plastic Jesus, Plastic Jesus Riding on the dashboard of my car Though the sunshine on His back Makes Him peel, chip and crack
A little patching keeps Him up to par
Plastic Jesus, Plastic Jesus Riding on the dashboard of my car I'm afraid He'll have to go
His magnets ruin my radio And if I have a wreck He'll leave a scar * * *

Intro: [F] [C] [Bb] [C]
[F] Raindrops keep falling on my [Fmaj7] head
And [F7] just like the guy whose feet are [Bb] too big for his [Am] bed
[D7] Nothing seems to [Am] fit [D7]
Those [Gm7] raindrops are fallin' on my head they keep fallin'
[C7] So I just [F] did me some talkin' to the [Fmaj7] sun
And [F7] I said I didn't like the [Bb] way he got things [Am] done
[D7] Sleepin' on the [Am] job
[D7] Those [Gm7] raindrops are fallin' on my head they keep fallin'
[C7] But there's one [F] thing I [Fmaj7] know
The [Bb] blues they send to [C] meet me won't de[Am]feat me
It won't be long till [D7] happiness steps [Gm7] up to greet me
[Gm7] [C] [Gm7] [C]
[F] Raindrops keep fallin' on my [Fmaj7] head
But [F7] that doesn't mean my eyes will [Bb] soon be turnin' [Am] red
[D7] Cryin's not for [Am] me
[D7] Cause [Gm7] I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
[C7] Because I'm [F] free [Fmaj7] [Gm7] nothing’s [C7] worryin' [F] me
Whistle solo: [F] [Fmaj7] [Bb] [C] [Am]
It won't be long till [D7] happiness steps [Gm7] up to greet me
[Gm7] [C] [Gm7] [C]
[F] Raindrops keep fallin' on my [Fmaj7] head
But [F7] that doesn't mean my eyes will [Bb] soon be turnin' [Am] red
[D7] Cryin's not for [Am] me

Rock and Roll Music [D]The Beatles
The Beatles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBiLhQpaUaM (But in A)
Just let me hear some of that
Chorus: Rock and roll music, any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it, any old time you use it It's gotta be rock and roll music, if you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
I have no kick against modern jazz, Unless they try to play it too darn fast
And change the beauty of a melody, until it sounds just like a symphony That's why I go for that
Chorus
I took my love on over 'cross the tracks, So she could hear my man a wail a sax
I must admit they have a rockin' band And they were blowin' like a hurrican'
That's why I go for that
Chorus
Way down south they gave a jubilee, and Georgia folks, they had a jamboree
They're drinkin' home brew from a wooden cup, the folks dancin' got all shook up
And started playin' that
Chorus
Don't get to hear 'em play a tango, I'm in no mood to take a mambo It's way too early for the congo, so keep on rockin' that piano
So I can hear some of that
Chorus
If you wanna dance with me If you wanna dance with me

SAN FRANCISCO BAY BLUES 4/4 1...2...123 (without intro)
Intro:
( ) I got the blues from my baby down by the San Francisco Bay, (or G F# G F# G F# G)
( ) Ocean liner took her so far a-way. (or G F# G F# G F# G)
I didn't mean to treat her so bad, she was the best gal I ever had,
She said goodbye, gonna make me cry, guess I'm gonna lay down my head and die.
I ain't got a nickel and I ain't got a lousy dime.
If she don't come back, I think I"m gonna lose my mind.
If she ever comes back to stay, it's going to be another brand new day,
Walkin' with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay.
p.2 San Francisco Bay Blues
Sittin' down looking through my back door, wonderin' which way to go,
The woman I'm so crazy about, she don't love me any more.
Think I'll take a freight train, 'cause I'm feelin' blue,
Ride all the way to the end of the line, thinkin' only of you.
Meanwhile, in another city, just about to go in-sane,
Well, I thought I heard my baby, Lord, the way she used to call my name.
If she ever comes back to stay, it's going to be another brand new day,
Walkin' with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay,
If she ever comes back to stay, it's going to be another brand new day,
Walkin' with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay, San Fran-cisco Bay
