Coward Of The County - Kenny Rogers
Intro: [A] [A]
Verse 1:
A D A
Everyone considered him the coward of the county
E7
He'd never stood one single time to prove the county wrong.
A D A
His mama named him Tommy, but folks just called him yellow,
E7 A
Something always told me they were reading Tommy wrong.
Verse 2:
A D A
He was only ten years old when his daddy died in prison;
E7
I took care of Tommy, 'cause he was my brother's son.
A D A
I still recall the final words my brother said to Tommy,
E7 A
"Son my life is over, but yours has just begun".
|Chorus:
|A D A
| "Promise me, son, not to do the things I've done
|D A E7
| Walk away from trouble if you can.
|A D A
| It won't mean you're weak if you turn the other cheek
|A D E7
| I hope you're old enough to understand,
|E7 A
| Son, you don't have to fight to be a man."
Verse 3:
A D A
There's someone for everyone, and Tommy's love was Becky.
A E7
In her arms he didn't have to prove he was a man.
A D A
One day while he was working, the Gatlin boys came calling
E7 A
They took turns at Becky, (n' there was three of them).
Verse 4:
A D
Tommy opened up the door, and saw Becky crying. [A]
E7
The torn dress, the shattered look was more than he could stand.
A D A
He reached above the fireplace, and took down his daddy's picture.
E7 A
As the tears fell on his daddy's face, he heard these words again
[Chorus]
Verse 5:
A D A
The Gatlin boys just laughed at him when he walked into the barroom;
E7
One of them got up and met him half way cross the floor.
A D A
When Tommy turned around they said, "Hey look! old yeller's leaving,"
E7 A
But you could've heard a pin drop when Tommy stopped and locked the door.
Verse 6:
A D A
Twenty years of crawling were bottled up inside him.
E7
He wasn't holding nothing back - he let 'em have it all.
A D A
When Tommy left the bar room, not a Gatlin boy was standing.
A E7 A
He said, "This one's for Becky, as he watched the last one fall. (And I heard him say,)
|Chorus:
|A D A
| "I promised you, Dad, not to do the things you've done
|D A E7
| I walk away from trouble when I can
| A D A
|Now please don't think I'm weak, I didn't turn the other cheek,
|A D E7
| And papa, I sure hope you understand
| E7 A
|Sometimes you gotta fight when you're a man".

I can hear the bells of Dublin
G C
in this lonely waiting room
F C G
And the paperboys are singin' in the rain
C G C
Not too long before they take us
G C
to the airport and the noise
F C G C
To get on board a trans at--lantic plane
G
We've got nothin' left to stay for,
F C
We had no more left to say
F C G
And there isn't any work for us to do
C G C
So farewell ye boys and girls;
G C
Another bloody Flight of Earls
F C G C
Our best asset is our best export, too....
F C G C
C G C
It's not murder, fear or famine
G C
that makes us leave this time
F C G
We're not going to join Mc--Alpine's Fus--ileers
C G C
We've got brains, and we've got visions;
G C
we've got edu--cation, too!
F C G C
But we just can't throw a--way these precious years
G
So we walk the streets of London,
F C
And the streets of Balti--more
F C G
And we meet at night in several Boston bars
C G C
We're the leaders of the future
G C
But we're far a--way from home
F C G C
And we dream of you be--neath the Irish stars
F C G C
C G C
As we look on El--lis Is--land,
G C
and the Lady in the bay
F C G
And Manhattan turns to face another Sunday
C G C
We just wonder what you're doing
G C
to bring us all back home
F C G C
As we look forward to a--nother Monday
G
Because it's not the work that scares us
F C
We don't mind an honest job
F C G
And we know things will get better once a--gain
C G C G C
So a thousand times adieu, We've got Bono and U2
F C G C
All we're missin' is the Guinness, and the rain
F C G C
C G C
So switch off your new computers
G C
cause the writing's on the wall
F C G
We're leaving as our fathers did be--fore
C G C
Take a look at Dublin airport,
G C
or the boat that leaves North Wall
F C G C
There'll be no Youth Unemp--loyment any more
G
Because we're over here in Queensland,
F C
And in parts of New South Wales
F C G
We're on the seas and airways and the trains
C G C
But if we see better days,
G C
Those big airplanes go both ways
F C G C F C
And we'll all be comin' back to you a--gain!

Intro

[Verse 1]
I [C] hear the train a comin’... it's rolling round the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine since... [C7] I don't know when
I'm [F] stuck in Folsom prison... and time keeps draggin’ [C] on
But that [G7] train keeps a rollin’... on down to San An [C] ton
[Verse 2]
When [C] I was just a baby... my mama told me son [SON]
Always be a good boy... don't [C7] ever play with guns
But I [F] shot a man in Reno... just to watch him [C] die
When I [G7] hear that whistle blowin’... I hang my head and [C] cry
[Verse 3]
I [C] bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car
They're probably drinkin’ coffee... and [C7] smoking big cigars
Well I [F] know I had it coming... I know I can't be [C] free
But those [G7] people keep a-movin’... and that's what tortures [C] me
[Verse 4]
Well if they'd [C] free me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move it on a little [C7] farther down the line
[F] Far from Folsom prison... that's where I want to [C] stay
And I'd [G7] let that lonesome whistle... blow my blues a-[C]way
[Repeat from the beginning getting faster with each verse ]
[Last line - Verse 4]

She sang each [C] note like an Irish [Em] linnet,
And the tears they [Am] flowed [F] in her [G] eyes of [C] blue.
'Twas early [C] early, all in the [Em] morning
I hit the [Am] road for [Dm] old Done-[F]-gal
She said Good-[C]-bye, sir, she cried and kissed [Em] me,

Verse 1:
Deep [A] down in Louisiana close to New Orleans
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens
There [D] stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
Where [A] lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode

But he could [A] play the UKULELE like a ringin’ a bell.

|[A] Go Johnny go go [E7] go..... Johnny B. [A] Goode...
Verse 2:
He used to [A] put his UKULELE in a gunny sack and
Sit beneath a tree by the railroad track.
An [D] engineers could see him sitting in the shade
[A] strummin’ to the rhythm that the drivers made
[E7] People passing by... they would stop and say
Oh [A] my but that little country boy can play.
|Chorus:
|[A] Go go.....go Johnny go go go
|Go Johnny go go [D] go
|[D] Go Johnny go go [A] go
|[A] Go Johnny go go [E7] go..... Johnny B. [A] Goode...
Verse 3:
His [A] mother told him “someday you will be a man”
And you will be the leader of a Big Uke Jam
[D] Many, many people come from miles around to
[A] hear your UKULELE till the sun go down
[E7] Maybe someday your name will be in lights
Sayin’ [A] ‘ Johnny B. Goode tonight’.
|Chorus:
|[A] Go go go go.....go Johnny go go go

There was a time when I was alone

Nowhere to go and no place to call home

My only friend was the man in the Moon

Then one night, as I closed my eyes
C G
I saw a shadow flying high
Em G
He came to me with the sweetest smile

Told me he wanted to talk for a while

He said, "Peter Pan, that's what they call me

I promise that you'll never be lonely"

Lyin’ Eyes - Eagles
[Intro] [G][Bm][C] [Am][D][G]
Verse 1:
[G] City girls just [Gmaj7] seem to find out [C] early;
[Am] how to open doors with just a [D] smile.
A [G] rich old man and [Gmaj7] she won't have to [C] worry;
she'll [Am] dress up all in [C] lace and [D] go in [G] style.[C][G]
[G] Late at night a [Gmaj7] big old house gets [C] lonely;
I [Am] guess every form of refuge has its [D] price.
[G] And it breaks her heart to [Gmaj7] think her love is [C] only
[Am] Given to a man with [C] hands as [D] cold as [G] ice. [C][G]
Pre-Chorus:
So she [G] tells him she must [Gmaj7] go out for the [C] evening
To [Am] comfort an old friend who's feeling [D] down.
But [G] he knows where she's [Gmaj7] goin' as she's [C] leavin'
She's [Am] headed for that [C] cheatin' [D] side of [G] town.[C][G]
|Chorus:
|You can't [G] hide [C] your lyin' [G] eyes,[C][G]
|and your [Em] smi[Bm]le is a thin dis[Am]guise.[D]
|I thought by [G] now [Gmaj7] you'd real[C]ize [A7]
|there [Am] ain't no way to [D] hide those lying [G] eyes. [G][Gmaj7][C] [Am][D][G]
Verse 2:
On the [G] other side of [Gmaj7] town a boy is [C] waiting,
with [Am] fiery eyes and dreams no one could [D] steal,
she [G] drives on through the [Gmaj7] night antici[C]pating,
cause he [Am] makes her feel the [C] way she used to [G] feel.[C][G]
She [G] rushes to [Gmaj7] his arms they fall [C] together,
she [Am] whispers that it's only for a [D] while,
She [G] swears that soon she'll be [Gmaj7] coming back [C] forever,
she [Am] pulls away and [C] leaves him with a [G] smile [C][G]
|Chorus:
Verse 3:
She [G] gets up and [Gmaj7] pours herself a [C] strong one
And [Am] stares out at the stars up in the [D] sky.
[G]Another night, it's [Gmaj7] gonna be a [C] long one;
She [Am] draws the shade and [C] hangs her head to [G] cry.[C][G]
She [G] wonders how [Gmaj7] it ever got this [C] crazy,
she [Am] thinks about a boy she knew in [D] school.
Did [G] she get tired [Gmaj7] or did she just get [C] lazy,
she's [Am] so far gone she feels [C] just just like a [G] fool[C][G]
Pre-Chorus:
[G] My, oh my, you [Gmaj7] sure know how to ar[C]range things;
You [Am] set it up so well, so careful[D]ly.
Ain't it [G] funny how your [Gmaj7] new life didn't [C] change things;
You're [Am] still the same old [C] girl you used to [G] be. [C][G]
|You can't [G] hide [C] your lyin' [G] eyes,[C][G]
|and your [Em] smi[Bm]le is a thin dis[Am]guise.[D]
|I thought by [G] now [Gmaj7] you'd real[C]ize [A7]
|there [Am] ain't no way to [D] hide those lying [G] eyes.
There [Am] ain’t no way to [D] hide your lyin [G] eyes [Gmaj7]
[Am] Honey, you can't [D] hide your lyin [G] eyes.

Oh, [C] Mary this London's a [F] wonderful sight
Where the [G] people are workin' by [F] day and by [C] night
They don't sow potatoes, nor [F] barley, nor wheat
But there's [G] gangs of them diggin' for [F] gold in the [C] street
At [G] least when I asked them that's [C] what I was told
So I just took a hand at this [F] diggin’ for [G] gold
But for [C] all that I found there I [F] might as well be
Where the [G] Mountains of Mourne sweep [F] down to the [C] sea
I believe that when writin' a [F] wish you expressed
As to [G] how the fine ladies in [F] London were [C] dressed
Well, if you'll believe me, when [F] asked to a ball
They [G] don’t wear no top to their [F] dresses at [C] all
Oh, I've [G] seen them myself and you [F] could not in [C] truth
Say if they were bound for a [F] ball or a [G] bath
Don't be [C] startin’ them fashions, now [F] Mary McCree
Where the [G] Mountains of Mourne sweep [F]down to the [C] sea
You remember young Peter O’[F] Loughlin of course
Well, [G] now he is here at the [F] head of the [C] force
I met him today, I was [F] crossing the Strand
And he [G] stopped the whole street with one [F] wave of his [C] hand
And [G] there we stood talking of [F] days that are [C] gone
While the whole population of [F] London looked [G] on
But for [C] all these great powers, he's [F] wishful, like me
To be [G] back where the dark Mourne sweeps [F] down to the [C] sea
[Outro - Slower]
But for [C] all these great powers, he's [F] wishful, like me
To be [G] back where the dark Mourne sweeps [F] down to the [C] sea

And in the naked light I [D] saw
Ten thousand people maybe [Em] more

Stick Season [A] - Noah Kahan
[Verse 1]
A A
As you promised me that I was more than all the miles combined
E
You must've had yourself a change of heart like halfway through the drive
F#m
Because your voice trailed off exactly as you passed my exit sign
D
Kept on drivin' straight and left our future to the right
A
Now I am stuck between my anger and the blame that I can't face
E
And memories are somethin' even smoking weed does not replace
F#m
And I am terrified of weather 'cause I see you when it rains
D
Doc told me to travel, but there's COVID on the planes
[Chorus]
A
And I love Vermont, but it's the season of the sticks
E
And I saw your mom, she forgot that I existed
F#m
And it's half my fault, but I just like to play the victim
D
I'll drink alcohol 'til my friends come home for Christmas
A
And I'll dream each night of some version of you
E
That I might not have, but I did not lose
F#m
Now you're tire tracks and one pair of shoes
D E
And I'm split in half, but that'll have to do
[Verse 2]
A A
So I thought that if I piled something good on all my bad
E
That I could cancel out the darkness I inherited from Dad
F#m
No, I am no longer funny 'cause I miss the way you laugh
D
You once called me "forever", now you still can't call me back
[Chorus]
A
And I love Vermont, but it's the season of the sticks
E
And I saw your mom, she forgot that I existed
F#m
And it's half my fault, but I just like to play the victim
D
I'll drink alcohol 'til my friends come home for Christmas
A
And I'll dream each night of some version of you
E
That I might not have, but I did not lose

Now you're tire tracks and one pair of shoes

And I'm split in half, but that'll have to do

A
Oh, that'll have to do
E F#m
My other half was you
D
I hope this pain's just passin' through

Travellin' Soldier - The Dixie Chicks
[C] Two days past 18
He was waiting for the bus in his army greens
Sat [F]down at a booth in a cafe there,
Gave his [C]order to a girl with a bow in her hair.
[C]He's a little shy so she gives him a smile
And he said would you mind sittin' down for a while

[C]So the letters came from an army camp
In California then Vietnam
And he [F] told her of his heart
It might be love and [C] all of things he was so scared of.
He said when it's gettin' kinda rough over here
I think of that day sittin' down at the pier
And [F] I close my eyes and see your pretty [C]smile
Don't [Bb]worry but I won't be [F]able to write for a [C]while
Chorus:
[C]One Friday night at a football game
The Lord's Prayer said and the anthem sang
A [F]man said Folks .. would you bow your heads
For a [C]list of local Vietnam dead.
Cryin' all alone under the stands
Was a piccolo player in the marching band
And [F]one name read and nobody really [C] cared
But a [Bb]pretty little girl .. [F]with a bow in her [C]hair.

You Never Can Tell
Chuck Berry
[Intro]
[C]
[Verse 1]
[C] It was a teenage wedding, and the old folks wished them well.
You could see that Pierre did truly love the mademoi[G7]selle.
And now the young monsieur and madam have rung the chapel bell,
'C'est la vie', say the old folks, it goes to show you never can [C] tell. [G7]
[Verse 2]
[C] They furnished off an apartment with a two room Roebuck sale.
The coolerator was crammed with TV dinners and ginger [G7] ale.
But when Pierre found work, the little money comin' worked out well.
'C'est la vie', say the old folks, it goes to show you never can [C] tell. [G7]
[Verse 3]
[C] They had a hi-fi phono, oh boy, did they let it blast.
Seven hundred little records, all rock, rhythm and [G7] jazz.
But when the sun went down, the rapid tempo of the music fell.
'C'est la vie', say the old folks, it goes to show you never can [C] tell. [G7]
[Verse 4]
[C] They bought a souped-up jitney, 'twas a cherry red '53.
They drove it down New Orleans to celebrate their anniversa[G7]ry.
It was there that Pierre was married to the lovely mademoiselle.
C'est la vie', say the old folks, it goes to show you never can [C] tell [G7]
