Amazing Grace Traditional G C G A- | mazing | Grace, how | sweet the | sound Em D That | saved a | wretch like | me | G C G I | once was | lost but | now am | found Em 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 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.

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

And Lord I know I'm One.

My mother was a tailor. She sewed my new blue jeans. My father was a gambling man, Down in New Orleans. Now the only thing a gambler needs Is a suitcase and a trunk, And the only time he is satisfied Is when he's on a drunk. So mother, tell your children Not to do what I have done And live your lives in sin and misery In the house of the Rising Sun. I've got one foot on the platform; The other is on the train, And I'm going back to New Orleans To wear that ball and chain. There is a house in New Orleans They call the Rising Sun And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy And Lord I know I'm one.

Hey there, Little Red Riding Hood, you sure are lookin' good

You're everything a big bad wolf could want (Listen to me)

Little Red Riding Hood, I don't think little big girls should

Go walkin' in these spooky old woods alone … Owwwoooo!

What big eyes you have, the kind of eyes that drive wolves mad

So just to see that you don't get chased

I think I ought to walk with you for a ways

What cool lips you have, they're sure to lure someone bad

So until you get to Grandma's place

I think you ought to walk with me and be safe

I'm gonna keep my sheep suit on, till I'm sure that you've been shown

That I can be trusted walkin' with you alone Owwwoooo!

Little Red Riding Hood, I'd like to hold you if I could

But you might think I'm a big bad wolf, so I won't … Owwwoooo!

What a big heart I have, the better to love you with

Little Red Riding Hood, even bad wolves can be good

I'll try to be satisfied, just to walk close by your side

Maybe you'll see things my way before we get to Grandma's place

Little Red Riding Hood, you sure are lookin' good

You're everything a big bad wolf could want

Owwwoooo -- I mean Baaaaa! Baaaa?

Margaritaville(Jimmy Buffett)

Nibblin on sponge cake watchin the sun bake

All of those tourists covered with oil

Strummin my 6-string

Sittin on my porch swing

Smell those shrimp – they’re beginnin to boil

Wastin away again in Margaritaville

Searchin for my lost shaker of salt

Some people say that there’s a wo---man to blame

But I know, it ain’t nobody’s fault

I don’t know the reason I stayed here all season

With nothin to show but this brand new tattoo

But it’s a real beauty, a Mexican cutie

How it got here I haven’t a clue

I blew out my flip-flop stepped on a pop-top

Cut my heel had to cruise on back home

But there’s booze in the blender

And soon it will render

That frozen concoction that helps me hang on

I knew a man, Bojangles, and he'd dance for you

In worn out shoes

The silver hair, a ragged shirt and baggy pants

The old soft shoe

He jumped so high, jumped so high

Then he lightly touched down

Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles, dance

I met him in a cell in New Orleans,

I was down and out

He looked to me to be the eyes of age

As he spoke right out

He talked of life, he talked of life

He laughed, slapped his leg a step

Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles, dance

He said the name Bojangles then he danced a lick

'Cross the cell

He grabbed his pants, for a better stance, then he jumped so high

He clicked his heels

He let go a laugh, let go a laugh, shook back his clothes all around

Mr. Bojangles, Mr Bojangles, Mr Bojangles, Dance

He danced for those

At minstrel shows and county fairs

Throughout the south

He spoke with tears of 15 years

How his dog 'n him

Traveled about

His dog up and died, his dog up and died

After 20 years he still grieves


He said I dance at every chance in honky-tonks

For drinks and tips

But most the time I spend behind these county bars

'Cause I drinks a bit

He shook his head, he shook his head

I heard someone ask, "Please“


Mr. Bojangles(Bob Dylan)

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

I LIKE THE WAY YOUR SPARKLING EARRINGS LAY

AGAINST YOUR SKIN SO BROWN

AND I WANT TO SLEEP WITH YOU

IN THE DESERT TONIGHT

WITH A MILLION STARS ALL AROUND

CAUSE I GOT A PEACEFUL EASY FEEL-ING

AND I KNOW YOU WON'T LET ME DOWN

CAUSE I'M AL -- READY STANDING

ON THE GROUND

AND I FOUND OUT A LONG TIME AGO

WHAT A WOMAN CAN DO TO YOUR SOUL

AH, BUT SHE CAN'T TAKE YOU ANY WAY

YOU DON'T ALREADY KNOW HOW TO GO

I GET THE FEELING I MAY KNOW YOU

AS A LOVER AND A FRIEND

BUT THIS VOICE KEEPS WHISPERING

IN MY OTHER EAR

TELLS ME I MAY NEVER SEE YOU AGAIN

Peaceful Easy Feeling(Eagles)

Operator, oh could you help me place this call

You see the number on the matchbook is old and faded

She's living in L.A. with my best old ex-friend Ray

A guy she said she knew well and sometimes hated

Isn't that the way they say it goes

But lets forget all that

And give me the number if you can find it

So I can call just to tell her I'm fine and to show

I've overcome the blow, I've learned to take it well

I only wish my words could just convince myself

That it just wasn't real, but that's not the way it feels

Operator oh could you help me place this call

Cause I can't read the number that you just gave me

There's something in my eye, you know it happens every time

I think about the love that I thought would save me

Operator let's forget about this call

There's no one there I really wanted to talk to

Thank you for your time,

Cause you've been so much more than kind

You can keep the dime

PEOPLE GET READY F#m7 Now people get ready, D A there's a train a' comin. A F#m7 Don't need no baggage, D A you just get on board. A F#m7 All you need is faith, D A to hear the diesels humming. Dbm7 F#m7 You don't need no ticket, D A You just thank the lord. People get ready, for the train to Jordan. Picking up passengers, from coast to coast. Faith is the key, opens the door stil boarded. There's hope for all, Amongst those loved the most. Bb Gm7 There ain't no room, Eb Bb for the hopeless sinner. Bb Gm7 Who'd hurt all man kind, Eb Bb just to save his own. Bb Gm7 Pitied are those, Eb Bb whose chances grow thinner. Dm7 Gm7 'Cause there's no hiding place, Eb Bb Amongst the kingdom's throne. Now people get ready, there's a train a'comin.

Don't need no baggage, you just get on board. All you need is faith, to hear the diesels humming. You don't need no ticket, You just thank the lord. I don't think I've seen this recording on disc (I dubbed it from the video), but the video probably dates from the early to mid-80s if anybody is interested.

(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay Otis Redding & Steve Cropper G B Sittin' in the mornin' sun, C B Bb A I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes. G B Watching the ships roll in, C B Bb A then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah. Chorus: G E I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay, G E watching the tide roll away. G A Oo, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay, G E wastin' time. I left my home in Georgia, headed for the 'Frisco Bay. I have nothing to live for, it look like nothin's gonna come my way. Chorus Bridge: G D C Look like nothing's gonna change. G D C Ev'rything still remains the same. G D C G I can't do what ten people tell me to do, F D so I guess I'll remain the same, yes. I'm sittin' here restin' my bones, and this loneliness won't leave me alone, yes. Two thousand miles I roamed just to make this-a dock my home. Chorus

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.

That’s the Way the World Goes Round John Prine Capo 2nd fret C I know a guy that's got a lot to lose. F He's a pretty nice fellow but he's kind of confused. 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. Repeat Chorus 2x

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. Refrain

The Times They are a Changin’

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


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


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

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.

32

TODAY CHORUS: C Am F G Today while the blossoms still cling to the vine, C Am F G I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine; C C7 F Dm7 A million tomorrows shall all pass away C Am F G C 'Ere I forget all the joy that is mine today. 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

A time to refrain from embracing. To everything, turn, turn, turn, There is a season, turn, turn, turn, And a time to every purpose under heaven. A time to gain, a time to lose. A time to rend, a time to sew. A time to love, a time to hate.

Runnin' from the cold up in New England

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

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

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

When youre down and troubled, and you need a helping hand

And nothing, whoa nothing is going right

Close your eyes and think of me, and soon I will be there

To brighten up even your darkest nights.

You just call out my name, and you know where ever I am

I’ll come running, oh yeah baby, to see you again

Winter, spring, summer, or fall, all you have to do is call

And I’ll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah, you’ve got a friend.

If the sky above you, should turn dark and full of clouds

And that old north wind should begin to blow

Keep your head together and call my name out loud

And soon I will be knocking upon your door.

You just call out my name and you know where ever I am

I’ll come running to see you again.

Winter, spring, summer or fall, all you got to do is call

And I’ll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Hey, ain’t it good to know that you’ve got a friend?

People can be so cold

They’ll hurt you and desert you,

Well they’ll take your soul if you let them,

Oh yeah, but don’t you let them

You’ve Got a Friend (James Taylor)

Hey, where did we go, Days when the rains came

Down in the hollow, Playing a new game

Laughing, and a running, Skipping and a jumping

In the misty morning fog, With our hearts a thumpin‘ and you

My brown eyed girl You’re my brown-eyed girl

Whatever happened, to Tuesday and so slow

Going down to the old mine with a transistor radio

Standing in the sunlight laughing, Hiding behind a rainbow's wall

Slipping and a sliding, All along the waterfall with you


Do you remember when we used to sing:

Sha la la la la la la la la la la tee dah Just like that

Sha la la la la la la la la la la tee dah la tee dah

So hard to find my way, Now that I'm on my own,

Saw you just the other day, Oh my, how you have grown

Cast my memory back there Lord

Sometimes I'm overcome just thinkin' 'bout it

Playing tag in the green grass Behind the stadium with you


Do you remember when we used to sing:
