Folsom Prison Blues Johnny Cash

From: Richard G’s Ukulele Songbook www.scorpexuke.com
[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

There [Am] is a [C] house in [D] New Or[F]leans
They [Am] call the [C] Rising [E7] Sun
And it's [Am] been the [C] ruin of [D] many a poor [F] boy
And [Am] God I [E7] know I'm [Am] one [E7]
My [Am] mother [C] was a [D] tailor [F]

My [Am] father [C] was a [D] gamblin' [F] man
[Am] Down in [E7] New Or[Am]leans [E7]
Now the [Am] only [C] thing a [D] gambler [F] needs
Is a [Am] suit[C]case and [E7] trunk
And the [Am] only [C] time that [D] he's satis[F]fied
Is [Am] when he's [E7] on a [Am] drunk [E7]
Oh [Am] mother [C] tell your [D] children [F]
Not to [Am] do what [C] I have [E7] done
[Am] Spend your [C] lives in [D] sin and mise[F]ry
In the [Am] House of the [E7] Rising [Am] Sun [E7]
Well I got [Am] one foot [C] on the [D] platform [F]
The [Am] other [C] foot on the [E7] train
I'm [Am] goin' [C] back to [D] New Or[F]leans
To [Am] wear that [E7] ball and [Am] chain [E7]
Well there [Am] is a [C] house in [D] New Or[F]leans

[G] O'er the Bridge of [Bm] Sighs
To [Csus4] rest my eyes in [C] shades of green
[G] Under dreaming [Bm] spires
[Csus4] To Itchycoo Park that's [C] where I've been

What did you [G] feel there [G7] well I [C] cried
But why the [G] tears there [G7] tell you [C] why
Chorus:

[G] It's all too [Em] beautiful [G] it's all too [Em] beautiful
Bridge: [G] I feel inclined to [Bb] blow my mind
Get hung [F] up feed the [C] ducks with a [G] bun
They [G] all come out to [Bb] groove about
When [F] I search for [C] fun in the [D] sun
[G] I tell you what I'll [Bm] do (what will you do)
I'd [Csus4] like to go there [C] now with you
[G] You can miss out [Bm] school (won't that be cool)
[Csus4] Why go to learn the [C] words of fools
What will we [G] do there [G7] we'll get [C] high
What will we [G] touch there [G7] we'll touch the [C] sky
But why the [G] tears there [G7] I tell you [C] why

I Will Survive Gloria Gaynor Hear this song at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xv6lHwWwO3w
[Dm] At first I was afraid I was [Gm7] petrified Kept thinkin' [C] I could never live without you [Fmaj7] by my side; But then I [Bbmaj7] spent so many nights thinkin' [Gm7] how you did me wrong And I grew [A] strong I learned [A7] how to get along
[Dm] And so you're back from outer [Gm7] space I just walked [C] in to find you here with that sad [Fmaj7] look upon your face I should have [Bbmaj7] changed that stupid lock I should have [Gm7] made you leave your key If I'd've [A] known for just one second you'd be [A7] back to bother me
Chorus: [Dm] Go on now walk out the [Gm7] door Just turn a[C]round now 'cause you're not [Fmaj7] welcome anymore Weren't [Bbmaj7] you the one who tried to [Gm7] hurt me with goodbye Did I [A] crumble Did you think I'd [A7] lay down and die?
[Dm] Oh no, not I I will sur[Gm7]vive Oh as [C] long as I know how to love I [Fmaj7] know I'll stay alive; I've got [Bbmaj7] all my life to live I've got [Gm7] all my love to give and I'll sur[A]vive, I will sur[A7]vive.
[Dm] It took all the strength I had not to [Gm7] fall apart Kept trying' [C] hard to mend the pieces of my [Fmaj7] broken heart, And I [Bbmaj7] spent oh so many nights just feeling [Gm7] sorry for myself. I used to [A] cry but now I [A7] hold my head up high
[Dm] And you see me somebody [Gm7] new I'm not that [C] chained up little person [Fmaj7] still in love with you, And so you [Bbmaj7] feel like droppin' in and just ex[Gm7]pect me to be free, Now I'm [A] savin' all my lovin' for some[A7]one who's lovin' me

[D] Teach your children [G] well

If they told you you will [D] cry
So just look at them and [Bm] sigh [G] [A]
And know they [D] love you [G] [D] [A] [A7*]...
And [D] you of tender [G] years
Can't know the [D] fears that your elders [A] grew by [A7*]
And so please [D] help them with your [G] youth
They seek the [D] truth before they [A] can die
[D] Teach your parents [G] well
Their children's [D] hell will slowly [A] go by [A7*]
And [D] feed them on your [G] dreams

[Dm] Who'll stop the [Dm] rain [F] [F] I went down Virginia Seekin’ [Bb] shelter from the [F] storm [F] Caught up in the [Am] fable I [Bb] watched the tower [F] grow [Bb] Five-year plans and [F] new deals [Bb] Wrapped in golden [F] chains [Bb] And I wonder [C] still I wonder [Dm] Who'll stop the [Dm] rain [F] / [F] /
[F] Heard the singers playin’ [Bb] How we cheered for [F] more The [F] crowd had rushed to-[Am]gether [Bb] Tryin’ to keep [F] warm [Bb] Still the rain kept [F] pourin' [Bb] Fallin’ on my [F] ears [Bb] And I wonder [C] still I wonder [Dm] Who'll stop the rain

You’re So Vain
Carly Simon (1972)
INTRO: / 1 2 3 4 / [Am] / [Am]
You [Am] walked into the party Like you were [F] walking onto a [Am] yacht
Your hat stra-[Am]tegically dipped below one eye
Your [F] scarf it was apri-[Am]cot You had [F] one eye [G] in the [Em] mirror [Am] as
You [F] watched yourself ga-[C]votte, and all the [G] girls dreamed that
[F] They’d be your partner, they’d be your partner, and
[C] You’re so vain
You [Dm] probably think this song is a-[C]bout you
You’re so [Am] vain I’ll [F] bet you think this song is a-[G]bout you, don’t you [G] don’t you
Oh, you [Am] had me several years ago
When [F] I was still quite na-[Am]ive When you [Am] said that we made such a pretty pair
And [F] that you would never [Am] leave
But you [F] gave a-[G]way the [Em] things you [Am] loved And [F] one of them was [C] me, I had some [G] dreams
They were [F] clouds in my coffee, clouds in my coffee, and
[C] You’re so vain You [Dm] probably think this song is a-[C]bout you
You’re so [Am] vain
I’ll [F] bet you think this song is a-[G]bout you, don’t you [G] don’t you
Well I [Am] hear you went up to Saratoga
And [F] your horse naturally [Am] won
Then you [Am] flew your Lear jet up to Nova Scotia To see the [F] total eclipse of the [Am] sun
Well, you’re [F] where you [G] should be [Em] all the [Am] time
And [F] when you’re not, you’re [C] with, some underworld [G] spy or the [F] Wife of a close friend, wife of a close friend, and
[C] You’re so vain
You [Dm] probably think this song is a-[C]bout you You’re so [Am] vain
I’ll [F] bet you think this song is a-[G]bout you, don’t you
[G] Don’t you, don’t you now
[C] You’re so vain You [Dm] probably think this song is a-[C]bout you
[C] You’re so vain
You [Dm] probably think this song is a-[C]bout you [C] You’re so vain
You [Dm] probably think this song is a-[C]bout you
You’re so [Am] vain I’ll [F] bet you think this song is a-[G]bout you, don’t you
[G] Don’t you [Am]
