Amazing Grace Traditional G C G A- | mazing | Grace, how | sweet the | sound G D G That | saved a | wretch like | me | G C G I | once was | lost but | now am | found G D G Was | blind but | now I | see | ’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my fears relieved; How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed! Through many dangers, toils and snares, I have already come; ’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far, And grace will lead me home. The Lord has promised good to me, His Word my hope secures; He will my Shield and Portion be, As long as life endures. Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail, And mortal life shall cease, I shall possess, within the veil, A life of joy and peace. The earth shall soon dissolve like snow, The sun forbear to shine; But God, who called me here below, Will be forever mine. When we’ve been there ten thousand years, Bright shining as the sun, We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise Than when we’d first begun.

Angel Band G C G My latest sun is sinking fast D G My race is nearly run C G My longest trials now are past D G My triumph has begun chorus:

D G Oh come Angel Band D G

Come and around me stand C G

Bear me away on your snow white wings D G

To my immortal home C G

Bear me away on your snow white wings D G

To my immortal home Oh bear my loving heart to him Who bled and died for me Whose blood now cleanses from all sins And gives me victory.

chorus I know I'm near the holy ranks Of friends and kindred dear I brush the dew on Jordan's banks The crossing must be near chorus I've almost reached my heavenly home My spirit loudly sings The holy ones behold they come I hear the noise of wings. chorus

Angel From Montgomery John Prine D G D G I am an old woman named after my mother D G A D My old man is another child that’s grown old D G D G If dreams were thunder lightning was desire D G A D This old house would have burnt down a long time ago (Chorus) D C G D Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery D C G D Make me a poster of an old rodeo D C G D Just give me one thing that I can hold on to D C G D To believe in this living is just a hard way to go D G D G When I was a young girl well, I had me a cowboy D G A D He wasn’t much to look at, just free rambling man D G D G But that was such a long time and no matter how I try D G A D The years just flow by like a broken down dam. (Chorus) D G D G There’s flies in the kitchen I can hear all their buzzing D G A D And I ain’t done nothing since I woke up today.

Blowing In The Wind Bob Dylan G C G Em How many roads must a man walk down G C D Before you call him a man? G C G Em How many seas must a white dove sail G C D Before she sleeps in the sand? G C G Em How many times must the cannonballs fly G C D Before they're forever banned? Chorus: C D G/F# Em The answer my friends is blowing in the wind C D G The answer is blowing in the wind Repeat this pattern for the next two verses: How many years can a mountain exist Before it's washed to the sea? How many years must some people exist Before they're allowed to be free? And how many times can a man turn his head And pretend that he just doesn't see? (the answer) C D G/F# Em The answer my friends is blowing in the wind C D G The answer is blowing in the wind How many time can a man look up Before he sees the sky? How many ears must one man have Before he can hear people cry? And how many deaths will it take 'til he knows That too many people have died? C D G/F# Em The answer my friends is blowing in the wind C D Em The answer is blowing in the wind C D G/F# Em Oh the answer my friends is blowing in the wind C D C G C G (quick-change ending) The answer is blowing in the wind..

"City of New Orleans" Steve Goodman [D]Riding on the [A]City of New Or[D]leans, [Bm]Illinois Central, [G]Monday morning [D]rail, [A] [D]Fifteen cars and fi[A]fteen restless [D]riders, Three con[Bm]ductors, and t[A]wenty five sacks of [D]mail. We're all [Bm]out on the southbound odyssey, As the [F#m]train pulls out of Kankakee, And [A]rolls past the houses, farms and [E]fields. [Bm]Passing towns that have no name, And [F#m]freight yards full of old black men, And the [A]graveyards of rusted automo[D]biles. {c:Chorus:} [G]Good morning Am[A]erica, how a[D]re you? Say [Bm]don't you know me, [G]I'm your native [D]son. [A] I'm the [D]train they call the [A]City of New [Bm]Orleans, I'll be gon[C]e five [G]hundred miles[A] when the day is [D]done. Dealing card games with the old men in the club cars, A penny a point, there ain't no one keeping score. Won't you pass the paper bag that holds the bottle, You can feel the wheels rumbling through the floor. And the sons of Pullman porters, And the sons of engineers, Ride their fathers' magic carpet made of steel. Mothers with their babes asleep, there rocking to the gentle beat, And the rhythm of the rails is all they dream. {Chorus.} Midnight on the City of New Orleans, Changing cars in Memphis, Tennessee. Halfway home, and we'll be there by morning, Through the Mississippi darkness, rolling down to the sea. Then all the towns and people seem To fade into a bad dream, The old steel rail still ain't heard the news. The conductor sings his songs again, The passengers will please refrain, This train's got the disappearin' railroad blues. {Chorus:} Singin' Goodnight America, how are you? Say don't you know me, I'm your native son. I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans, I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done  

Dark as a Dungeon Merle Travis

Come [A] listen you fellers so [D] young and [E] fine

And [A] seek not your fortunes in the [D] dark dreary [A] mine

It will [A] form as a habit and [D] seep in your [E] soul

Till the [A] stream of your blood runs as [D] black as the [A] coal

Where it's [E] dark as a dungeon and [D] damp as the [A] dew

Where the [E]danger is double and [D] pleasures are [A] few

Where the rain never falls and the [D] sun never [E] shines

Where it's [A] dark as a dungeon way [D] down in the [A] mines

There's [A] many a man I've [D] known in my [E] day

Who [A] lived just to labor his [D] life a [A] way

Like a [A] fiend with his dope and a [D] drunkard his [E] wine

A [A] man will have lust for the [D] lure of the [A] mine

* Refrain…Break

The [A] midnight, the morning, or the [D] middle of the [E] day

It's the [A] same to the miner who [D] labors a [A] way

Where the [A] demons of death often [D] come by sur [E] prise

One [A] fall of the slate and you’re [D] buried a [A] live

* Refrain…Break

I [A] hope when I'm gone and the [D] ages shall [E] roll

My [A] body will blacken and [D] turn into [A] coal

Then I'll [A] look from the door of my [D] heavenly [E] home

And [A] pity the miner a- [D] diggin' my [A] bones

* Refrain

Long Black Veil

G Ten years ago on a cold dark night

D C G There was someone killed 'neath the town hall light

G There were few at the scene and they all did agree

D C G That the man who ran looked a lot like me

C G C G She walks these hills in a long black veil

C G C G She visits my grave where the night winds wail

G B7 C G Nobody knows, nobody sees

C D G Nobody knows but me

G The judge said "Son, what is your alibi?

D C G If you were somewhere else then you won't have to die"

G I spoke not a word although it meant my life

D C G I had been in the arms of my best friend's wife

G The scaffold was high and eternity neared

D C G She stood in the crowd and she shed not a tear

G But sometimes at night when the cold wind moans

D C G In a long black veil she cries o’er my bones

Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me

I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going to

Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me

In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you

Though I know that evenings empire has returned to sand

Vanished from my hand

Left me blindly here to stand but still not sleeping

My weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feet

I have no one to meet

And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming

Take me on a trip upon your magic swirling ship

All my senses have been stripped

And my hands can't feel to grip

And 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 own parade

Cast your dancing spell, I promise to go under it

Though you might hear laughing, spinning, swinging

Madly across the sun

It's not aimed at anyone, It's just escaping on the run

But for the sky there are no fences facing

And if you hear vague traces of skipping 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 seeing that he's chasing

Take me disappearing through the smoke rings of my mind

Down the foggy ruins of time

Far past the frozen leaves

The haunted frightened trees

Out to the windy bench

Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow

To dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free

Silhouetted by the sea

Circled by the circus sands

With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves

Let me forget about today until tomorrow

SOUNDS OF SILENCE Am G Hello darkness, my old friend, Am I've come to talk with you again, F C Because a vision softly creeping, F C Left it's seeds while I was sleeping, F C And the vision that was planted in my brain Am Still remains G Am Within the sound of silence. In restless dreams I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone, 'neath the halo of a street lamp, I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night And touched the sound of silence. And in the naked light I saw Ten thousand people, maybe more. People talking without speaking, People hearing without listening, People writing songs that voices never share And no one dare Disturb the sound of silence. Fools said i, you do not know Silence like a cancer grows. Hear my words that I might teach you, Take my arms that I might reach you. But my words like silent raindrops fell, And echoed In the wells of silence Am G And the people bowed and prayed Am To the neon God they made. F C And the sign flashed out it's warning, F C In the words that it was forming. F And the sign said, the words of the prophets Am C Are written on the subway walls C And tenement halls. G Am And whisper'd in the sounds of silence.

C He's got muscles in his head that ain't never been used. G Thinks he own half of this town. C Starts drinking heavy, gets a big red nose. F Beats his old lady with a rubber hose, C then he takes her out to dinner and buys her new clothes. G C That's the way that the world goes 'round. Chorus C That's the way that the world goes 'round. F You're up one day and the next you're down. C It's half an inch of water and you think you're gonna drown. G C That's the way that the world goes 'round. C I was sitting in the bathtub counting my toes, F when the radiator broke, water all froze. C I got stuck in the ice without my clothes, G naked as the eyes of a clown. C I was crying ice cubes hoping I'd croak, F when the sun come through the window, the ice all broke. C I stood up and laughed thought it was a joke G C That's the way that the world goes 'round.

The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down R. Robertson (The Band) Em G | C Em | Virgil Cain is my name and I served on the Danville Train G Em | C Em | Till Stoneman's cavalry came and tore up the tracks again C G | Em C | In the winter of '65, we were hungry, just barely alive Em C | G Em | A | By May the 10th, Richmond had fell, it was a time i remember oh so well G Em C | G Em | The night they drove old Dixie down, and all the bells were ringin' G Em C | G Em | The night they drove old Dixie down, and all the people were singin', (they went) G Em | A C | G | G intro' run | "Naa na-na naa na-na, na-naa na-naa na-naa naa na-naa na-na-naa" Back with my wife in Tennessee, one day she said to me "Virgil, quick come see, there goes the Robert E Lee." Now. I don't mind choppin' wood, and I don't care if the money's no good You take what you need and you leave the rest, but they should never have taken the very best. Refrain Like my father before me, I'm a workin' man Like my brother above me, I took a rebel stand He was eighteen, proud and brave, but a Yankee laid him in his grave I swear by the blood beneath my feet, you can't raise a Cain back up when he's in defeat.

The Times They are a Changin’ Bob Dylan G Em C G Come gather 'round people wherever you roam G Am C D And admit that the waters around you have grown G Em C G And accept it that soon you'll be drenched to the bone G Am D If your time to you is worth savin' D D7 Gmaj7 D Then you better start swimmin' or you'll sink like a stone, G C D G For the times, they are a chang - in' Come writers and critics who prophecies with your pen And keep your eyes wide the chance won't come again And don't speak too soon for the wheel's still in spin And there's no tellin' who that it's namin' For the loser now will be later to win For the times they are a-changin'

Come mothers and fathers throughout the land And don't criticize what you don't understand Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command Your old road is rapidly agin' Please get out of the new one if you can't lend a hand For the times they are a-changin'

Come senators, congressmen please heed the call Don't stand in the doorway, don't block up the hall For he that gets hurt will be he who has stalled There's a battle outside and it's ragin' It'll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls For the times they are a-changin'

The line it is drawn the curse it is cast The slow one now will later be fast As the present now will later be past The order is rapidly fadin' And the first one now will later be last For the times they are a-changin'

I picked up my bag. I went looking for a place to hide. When I saw Carmen and the devil walking side by side. I said, "Hey, Carmen, come on. Let's go downtown." She said, "I got to go, but my friend can stick around." (refrain) Go down, Miss Moses, there's nothing you can say. It's just old Luke, and Luke's waiting on the judgement day. "Well, Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee?" He said, "Do me a favor, son, won't you stay and keep Anna Lee company." (refrain) Crazy Chester followed me and he caught me in the fog. He said, "I will fix your rack, if you'll take Jack my dog." I said, "Wait a minute, Chester. You know I'm a peaceful man." He said, "That's okay, boy. Won't you feed him when you can?" (refrain) Get your Canonball now, to take me down the line. My bag is sinking low, and I do believe it's time To get back to Miss Fanny. You know she's the only one Who sent me here with her regards for everyone. (refrain)

This Land is Your Land

Woody Guthrie Chorus:

D G D This land is your land, this land is my land, A7 D From Calif ornia to the New York Island, G D From the Redwood F orests to the Gulf Stream wa ters; A7 D This land was made for you and me. As I was walking that ribbon of highway, I looked above me, there in the skyway, I saw below me, the Golden Valley; This land was made for you and me. Chorus. I roamed and rambled, and followed my footsteps Through the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts, And all around me this voice kept saying, "This land was made for you and me." Chorus. As the Sun was shining, and I was strolling Through the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling, I could feel inside me and see all around me, This land was made for you and me. Chorus.

C Am F G I'll be a dandy and I'll be a rover, C Am F G You'll know who I am by the song that I sing. C Am F G I'll feast at your table, I'll sleep in your clover, F G C G Who cares what tomorrow may bring. CHORUS

D Bm G A I can't be contented with yesterday's glories, D Bm G A I can't live on promises winter to spring. D Bm G A Today is my moment and now is my story -- G A D A I'll laugh and I'll cry and I'll sing. CHORUS

Runnin' from the cold up in New England

I was born to be a fiddler in an old time string band

My baby plays the guitar,

I pick the banjo now

Oh north country winters keep-a gettin' me low

An'I lost my money playin' poker so i had to up and leave

But I ain't turning back

To live that old life no more

Chorus

Walkin' to the south out of Roanoake

I caught a trucker out of Philly had a nice long toke

But he's a-headed west from the Cumberland Gap

Johnson City Tennessee

I gotta get a move on before for the sun

I hear my baby callin my name and i know that she's the only one

And if i die in Raleigh

At least i will die free

Chorus

Waltzing Mathilda

C G7 Am F Once a jolly swagman camped beside a billabong C G7

Under the shade of a coolibah tree, C G7 Am F And he sang as he watched and waited 'till his billy boiled, C Am G7 C "You'll come a waltzing, Ma thilda, with me."

Chorus after each verse: C F "Waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda, C Am G7 You'll come a waltzing, Mathilda, with me." C G7 Am F And he sang as he watched and waited 'till his billy boiled, C Am G7 C "You'll come a waltzing, Ma thilda, with me."

Down came a jumpbuck to drink at the billabong, 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, Mathilda, with me." Up rode the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred, Down came the troopers, one, two, three. "Where's that jolly jumpbuck you've got in your tucker bag? You'll come a waltzing, Mathilda, with me." Up jumped the swagman, sprang into the billabong, "You'll never catch me alive," said he. And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong,

"You'll come a waltzing, Mathilda, with me."
