SOUND OF SILENCE

Intro [Em]

Hello darkness my old [D] friend I’ve come to talk with you a-[Em] gain

Because a vision soft-[C] Iy [G]creeping

Silence like a cancer [Em] grows

Hear my words that I [C] might teach [G] you

Take my [Em] arms that I [C] might reach [G] you

But my [C] words like [C/G] silent raindrops [G] fell [extra bar G]

And e-[Em] choed

In the [D] wells of [Em] silence [stop]

And the people bowed and [D] prayed

To the neon God they [Em] made

And the sign flashed [C] its war-[G] ning

In the [Em] words that it [C] was for-[G] ming

And the sign said, the [C] words of the prophets are [C/G] written on the subway [G] walls

And tenement [Em] halls

And [Em] whispered ... in the [D] sounds... of [Em] silence

Manchester Rambler. Ewan McColl

C I've been over Snowdon, I've slept upon Crowdon I've camped by the Waynestones as G well G I've sunbathed on Kinder, been burned to a cinder And many more things I can C tell C My rucksack has oft been me G pillow, The heather has oft been me C bed And sooner than part from the G mountains, I think I would rather be C dead

Chorus: C I'm a rambler, I'm a rambler from G Manchester way I get all me pleasure the C hard moorland way I may be a wage-slave on G Monday But I am a free man on C Sunday

The C day was just ending and I was descending Down Grinesbrook just by Upper G Tor G When a voice cried "Hey you" in the way keepers do He'd the worst face that ever I C saw The things that he said were un- G -pleasant, In the teeth of his fury I C said "Sooner than part from the G mountains, I think I would rather be C dead"

He C called me a louse and said "Think of the grouse" Well I thought, but I still couldn't G see G Why all Kinder Scout and the moors roundabout Couldn't take both the poor grouse and C me He said "All this land is my G master's", At that I stood shaking my C head No man has the right to own G mountains, Any more than the deep ocean C bed

I C once loved a maid, a spot welder by trade She was fair as the Rowan in G bloom G And the bloom of her eye matched the blue Moreland sky I wooed her from April to C June On the day that we should have been G married, I went for a ramble in- C -stead For sooner than part from the G mountains, I think I would rather be C dead

So I'll C walk where I will over mountain and hill, and I'll lie where the bracken is G deep G I belong to the mountains, the clear running fountains Where the grey rocks lie ragged and C steep I've seen the white hare in the G gullys, And the curlew fly high over- C -head And sooner than part from the G mountains, I think I would rather be C dead

Lyin' Eyes The Eagles

INTRO 1X 2X 3X 4X [C] [Cmaj7] [F] [F] [Dm] [Dm] [G] [G]

[C] City girls just [Cmaj7] seem to find out [F] early;

[Dm] how to open doors with just a [G] smile.

A [C] rich old man and [Cmaj7] she won't have to [F] worry;

she'll [Dm] dress up all in [F] lace and go in [C] style.

[C] Late at night a [Cmaj7] big old house gets [F] lonely;

I [Dm] guess every form of refuge has its [G] price.

[C] And it breaks her heart to [Cmaj7] think her love is [F] only

Given [Dm] to a man with [F] hands as cold as [C] ice. [F] [G]

So she [C] tells him she must [Cmaj7] go out for the [F] evening

To [Dm] comfort an old friend who's feeling [G] down.

But [C] he knows where she's [Cmaj7] goin' as she's [F] leavin'

She's [Dm] headed for that [F] cheatin' [G] side of [C] town. [C] [F] [C]

CHORUS

You can't [C] hide [F] your lyin' [C] eyes, [F] [C]

and your [Am] smile [Em] is a thin dis-

[Dm]guise. [G] I thought by [C] now [C7] you'd

real-[F]ize [D]

there [Dm] ain't no way to [G] hide those lying [C] eyes. [Cmaj7] [F] [F] [Dm] [G] [C]

On the [C] other side of [Cmaj7] town a boy is [F] waiting,

with [Dm] fiery eyes and dreams no one could [G] steal,

she [C] drives on through the [Cmaj7] night antici[F]pating,

cause he [Dm] makes her feel the [F] way she used to [C] feel.

She [C] rushes to [Cmaj7] his arms they fall to[F]gether,

she [Dm] whispers that it's only for a [G] while,

She [C] swears that soon she'll be [Cmaj7] coming back for-[F]ever,

she [Dm] pulls away and [F] leaves him with a [C] smile [F] [C]

CHORUS You can't [C] hide [F]..........

She [C] gets up and [Cmaj7] pours herself a [F] strong one

And [Dm] stares out at the stars up in the [G] sky.

[C]Another night, it's [Cmaj7] gonna be a [F] long one;

She [Dm] draws the shade and [F] hangs her head to [C] cry.

She [C] wonders how [Cmaj7] it ever got this [F] crazy,

she [Dm] thinks about a boy she knew in [G] school.

Did [C] she get tired [Cmaj7] or did she just get [F] lazy,

she's [Dm] so far gone she feels [F] just just like a [C] fool [F] [G]

[C] My, oh my, you [Cmaj7] sure know how to -[F]range things;

You [Dm] set it up so well, so careful[G]ly.

Ain't it [C] funny how your [Cmaj7] new life didn't [F] change things;

You're [Dm] still the same old [F] girl you used to [C] be. [F] [C]

CHORUS You can't [C] hide [F]........

There [Dm] ain’t no way to [G] hide your lyin' [C] eyes [Cmaj7]

[Dm] Honey, you can't [G] hide your lyin' [C] eyes. [F] [C]

Girl Beatles

Is there [Am] anybody [E7] going to listen [Am] to my story

[Dm] All about the girl who came to [C] stay [E7]

She´s the [Am] kind of girl you [E7] want so much

It [Am] makes you sorry

[Dm] Still you don´t regret a single [Am] day

Ah [C] gi[Em]rl [Dm] [G7] [C] gi[Em]rl [Dm] [G7]

When I [Am] think of all the [E7] times

I´ve tried so [Am] hard to leave her

[Dm] She will turn to me and start to [C] cry [E7]

And she [Am] promises the [E7] earth to me

And [Am] I believe her

[Dm] After all this time I don´t know [Am] why


[Dm] She´s the kind of girl who puts you [A7] down

When friends are there you feel a [Dm] fool [A7]

[Dm] When you say she´s looking good

She [A7] acts as if it´s understood she´s [Dm] cool ooh [F] ooh ooh

[C] Gi[Em]rl [Dm] [G7] [C] gi[Em]rl [Dm] [G7]

Was she [Am] told when she was [E7] young

That pain would [Am] lead to pleasure

[Dm] Did she understand it when they [C] said [E7]

That a [Am] man must break his [E7] back

To earn his [Am] day of leisure

[Dm] Will she still believe it when he’s [Am] dead
