Amazing Grace [C] - John Newton
A-[C]mazing [C7] grace how [F] sweet the [C] sound
That saved a wretch like [G7] me.
I [C] once was [C7] lost, but [F] now am [C] found,
Was blind but [G7] now I [C] see.
`Twas [C] grace that [C7] taught my [F] heart to [C] fear,
And [C] grace my fears re[G7]-lieved.
How [C] precious [C7] did that [F] grace [C] appear,
The hour I [G7] first be-[C] lieved.
When [C] we’ve been [C7] there ten [F] thousand [C] years
Bright shining as the [G7] sun
We’ve [C] no less [C7] days to [F] sing God’s [C] praise,
Than when we [G7] first be[C] gun.
Through [C] many [C7] dangers, [F] toils and [C] snares,
I have already [G7] come
`Tis [C] grace hath [C7] brought me [F] safe this [C] far,
And grace will [G7] lead me [C] home.
A[C]mazing [C7] grace how [F] sweet the [C] sound
That saved a wretch like [G7] me.
I [C] once was [C7] lost, but [F] now am [C] found,
Was blind but [G7] now I [C] see.
I [C] once was [C7] lost, but [F] now am [C] found,

American Pie[G] - Don MacLean
Some verses removed
A [G] long, [D] long [Em7] time ago, [Am] I can still re-[C]member how
That [Em] music used to [D] make me smile. [D7]
I [G] knew [D] if I [Em7] had my chance that [Am] I could make those [C] people dance
and [Em] maybe they'd be [C] happy for a [D] while.
But [Em] February [Am] made me shiver, [Em] with every paper [Am] I'd deliver,
[C] Bad news [G] on the [Am] doorstep, I [C] couldn't take one [D] more step.
I [G] can't re-[D]member [Em7] if I cried when I [Am] read about his [D] widowed bride,
[G] Something [D] touched me [Em] deep inside, the [C] day, the [D7] music, [G] died.
|[Chorus]
|So [G] Bye - [C] bye, Miss A-[G]merican [D] Pie,
|drove my [G] chevy to the [C] levee but the [G] levee was [D] dry,
|Them [G] good ole' [C] boys were drinkin' [G] whiskey and [D] rye, singin'
|[Em] This'll be the day that I [A7] die, [Em] this'll be the day that I [D] die. [D7]
[G] Did you write the [Am] book of love and do [C] you have faith in [Am] God above,
[Em] if the Bible [D] tells you so? [D7]
Now do [G] you be-[D]lieve in [Em7] rock and roll,
can [Am] music save your [C] mortal soul and
[Em] Can you teach me [A7] how to dance real [D] slow?
Well, I [Em] know that you're in [D] love with him,
`cause I [Em] saw you dancing [D] in the gym.
You [C] both kicked [G] off your [A7] shoes, man I [C] dig those rhythm and [D7] blues.
I was a [G] lonely [D] teenage [Em7] broncin' buck
with a [Am] pink carnation and a [C] pick up truck,
but [G] I knew [D] I was [Em] out of luck the [C] day, the [D7] music, [G] died. [C] [G]
|[Chorus]
|So [G] Bye - [C] bye, Miss A-[G]merican [D] Pie,
|drove my [G] chevy to the [C] levee but the [G] levee was [D] dry,
|Them [G] good ole' [C] boys were drinkin' [G] whiskey and [D] rye, singin'
|[Em] This'll be the day that I [A7] die, [Em] this'll be the day that I [D] die. [D7]
[G] I met a [D] girl who [Em7] sang the blues and I [Am] asked her for some [C] happy news,
but [Em] she just smiled and [D] turned away. [D7]
[G] I went [D] down to the [Em7] sacred store where I [Am] heard the music [C] years before,
but the [Em] man there said the [C] music wouldn't [D] play.
And [Em] in the streets the [Am] children screamed,
the [Em] lovers cried and the [Am] poets dreamed,
but [C] not a [G] word was [Am] spoken, the [C] church bells all were [D] broken.
And the [G] three men [D] I ad-[Em7]mire most, the [Am] Father, Son and the [D] Holy Ghost,
they [G] caught the [D] last train [Em7] for the coast, the [C] day, the [Am] mu-[D7]sic, [G] died.
[D] And they were singin'....
|[Chorus]
|[G] Bye - [C] bye, Miss A-[G]merican [D] Pie,
|drove my [G] chevy to the [C] levee but the [G] levee was [D] dry,
|Them [G] good ole' [C] boys were drinkin' [G] whiskey and [D] rye, singin'
[Em] This'll be the day that I [A7] die ... [C] This'll be the [D] day that I [G] die [C] [G]
Angel - Sarah McLachlan
A Em
Spend all your time waitin'
G
For that second chance
D G A
For a break that would make it okay
Em
There's always some reason
G
To feel not good enough
D G A
And it's hard at the end of the day
Em
I need some distraction

Oh beautiful release
D G A
Memories seep from my veins

Let me be empty and weightless
D G A
And maybe I'll find some peace to-night

|From this dark cold hotel room
| D A
|And the endlessness that you fear

|You are pulled from the wreckage
| F#m
|Of your silent reverie
| G
|You're in the arms of the angel
| D G A
|May you f-i-nd
| D
|some comfort here
Em
So tired of the straight line
G
And everywhere you turn
D G A
There's vultures and thieves at your back
Em
Storm keeps on twistin'
G
keep on building the lies
D G A
That you make up for all that you lack
Em
It don't make no difference
G
Es-caping one last time
D G A
It's easier to be-lieve
Em
in this sweet madness
G D G A
Oh this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
G
You're in the arms of the angel
D G A
May you f-i-nd
D
some comfort here

Ballad Of Bonnie And Clyde[G] - Georgie Fame And The Blue Flames
[G] Bonnie and Clyde were [C] pretty lookin' [D7] people
But [C] I can tell you [D7] people, they were the [C] devil's [G] children,
[G] Bonnie and Clyde be-[C]gan their evil [D7] doin'
One [C] lazy after-[D7]noon down Sa-[C]vannah [G] way,
They [G] robbed a store, and [C] high-tailed outa that [G] town
Got [C] clean away in a [G] stolen [E7] car,
And [A7] waited till the [D7] heat died [G] down
[G] Bonnie and Clyde ad-[C]vanced their repu-[D7]tation
And [C] made the gradu-[D7]ation
Into the [C] banking [G] business.
"[G] Reach for the sky" sweet [C] talking Clyde would [D7] holler
As [C] Bonnie loaded [D7] dollars into the [C] dewlap [G] bag,
Now [G] one brave man - he [C] tried to take 'em a-[G]lone
They [C] left him lyin' in a [G] pool of [E7] blood,
And [A7] laughed about it [D7] all the way [G] home.
[G] Bonnie and Clyde got to [C] be public enemy [D7] number [G] one
[G] Running and hiding from [C7] ev'ry American [D7] lawman's [G] gun.
[E7] They used to laugh about [A7] dyin',
[D7] But deep inside 'em they [G] knew
[E7] That pretty soon they'd be [A7] lyin'
[D7] Beneath the ground together
[G7] Pushing up daisies to [C] welcome the sun and the [D7] morning [G] dew.
[G] Acting upon re-[C]liable infor-[D7]mation
A [C] fed'ral dep-[D7]tation laid a [C] deadly [G] ambush.
[G] When Bonnie and Clyde came [C] walking in the [D7] sunshine
A [C] half a dozen [D7] carbines opened [C] up on [G] them.
[G] Bonnie and Clyde, they [Cm] lived a lot to-[D7]gether
And [Cm] finally to-[D7]gether they [G] died

I [G] cursed all [D] foreign [C] money [Em], no [G]credit could I [C] gain,
Which [G] filled my [D] heart with [C] longing [Em]for The [C] lakes of [D] Pontchar-[G]train
I [G] stepped on [D] board a [C] railroad [G] car be-[Em] neath the [D] morning [G] sun.
I rode the [D] rails ‘til [C] even-[Em] ing and [G] lay me down a-[C] gain.
All [G] strangers [D] there, no [C] friends to [Em] me, ‘til a [G] dark girl towards me [C] came.
And I [G] fell in [D] love with a [C] Creole [Em] girl on the [C] lakes of [D] Pontchar-[G] train.
I [G] said "my [D] pretty [C] Creole [G] girl, My [Em] money [D] here's no [G] good,
If it weren't for the [D] alli-[C] ga-[Em] tors, I’d [G] sleep out in the [C] wood.”

But [G] we never [D] turn a [C] stranger [Em] out on the [C] lakes of [D] Pontchar-[G] train.
She [G] took me [D] to her [C] mammy’s [G] house, and [Em] treated [D] me right [G] well.
Her hair [D] upon her [C] shoulders, in [G] jet black ringlets [C] fell.
To [G] try to [D] paint her [C] beau-[Em] ty, I'm [G] sure ‘twould be in [C] vain
So [G] handsome [D] was my [C] Creole [Em] girl on the [C] lakes of [D] Pontchar-[G] train.
I [G] asked her [D] if she’d [C] marry [G] me,
She [Em] said that it [D] ne’er could [G] be,

and [G] he was off at [C] sea
she [G] said that [D] she would [C] wait for [Em] him

feelin’ nearly faded as my [E7] jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down, just before it rained
Took us all the way to New Or [A] leans

With them windshield wipers slapping time,

We [E7] sang every song that driver [A] knew

Verse 2:
From the [A] coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun
Bobby shared the secrets of my [E7] soul
Standin’ right beside me, Lord, through everything I’d done
Every night she kept me from the [A] cold
Then somewhere near Selinas Lord, I let her slip away
Lookin’ for the home I hope she’ll [D] find
But I’d trade all my tomorrows for a [A] single yesterday
[E7] holdin’ Bobby’s body next to [A] mine

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

And they all soon forget who they [E7] are
The cares of today are soon washed away
As they sit on a stool by the [Am] bar.

Of a [E7] man who sells cars [A] second hand

There by the port just outside Amster[E7]dam
Everyone [D] shares in the songs and the [A] laughter

The [Am] salesmen relax with a few pints of beer,
And they try not to talk about [E7] trade.
The poet won't write any verses tonight
He may sing a sweet seren[Am]ade.
So pull up a chair and forget about life,
It's a good thing to do now and [Dm] then.
And if you like it here, I have an [Am] idea,
[E7] Tomorrow lets all meet [A] again.

She Moved Through The Fair
Traditional
[alternates G and F throughout song]
[G] My[F] young love said to[G] me
My[F] mother won't[G] mind
And my[F] father won't[G] slight you
For[F] your lack of[G] kind
And she[F] stepped away[G] from me
And[F] this she did[G] say
It[F] will not be[G] long love
Til[F] our wedding [G] day
She[F] stepped away[G] from me and she[F] moved through the[G] fair,
And[F] fondly I[G] watched her move[F] here and move[G] there,
And[F] then she went[G] homeward with[F] one star[G] awake,
As the[F] swan in the[G] evening moves[F] over the[G] lake.
The people were saying no two were e'er wed,
But one has a sorrow that never was said,
And I smiled as she passed with her goods and her gear,
And that was the last that I saw of my dear.
Last night she came to me, she came softly in
So softly she came, that her feet made no din,
And she laid her hand on me and this she did say,
"It will not be long, love, til our wedding day."

Song For Ireland by Mary Black
VERSE 1:
C G
Walking all the day
F C F G C
Near tall towers where falcons build their nests
G
Silver-winged they fly
Dm Am F G C
They know the call of freedom in their breasts
F G G
Saw Black Head against the sky
C Am C F G
With twisted rocks they run down to the sea
CHORUS:
F G C Am C F G
Living on your western shore, saw summer sunsets, asked for more
F G C G Dm Am F G C
I stood by your Atlantic Sea, - and sang a song for I-re-land
VERSE 2:
C G
Talking all the day
F C F G C
With true friends who try to make you stay
G
Telling jokes and news
Dm Am F G C
Singing songs to pass the night away
F G G
Watched the Galway salmon run
C Am C F G
Like silver dancing, darting in the sun
CHORUS:
F G C Am C F G
Living on your western shore, saw summer sunsets, asked for more
F G C G Dm Am F G C
I stood by your Atlantic Sea, - and sang a song for I-re-land
VERSE 3:
C G
Drinking all the day
F C F G C
In old pubs where fiddlers love to play
G
Someone touched the bow
Dm Am F G C
He played a reel which seemed so grand and gay
F G G
Stood on Dingle Beach and cast
C Am C F G
In wild foam we found Atlantic bass
CHORUS:
F G C Am C F G
Living on your western shore, saw summer sunsets, asked for more
F G C G Dm Am F G C
I stood by your Atlantic Sea, - and sang a song for I-re-land
VERSE 4:
C G
Dreaming in the night
F C F G C
I saw a land where no one had to fight
G
Waking in your dawn
Dm Am F G C
I saw you crying in the morning light
F G G
Lying where the falcons fly
C Am C F G
They twist and turn all in your air-blue sky
CHORUS:
F G C Am C F G
Living on your western shore, saw summer sunsets, asked for more

Sound Of Silence * - Simon & Gurfunkal
Am G
Hello darkness, my old friend,
Am
I've come to talk with you a--gain,
C F C
Because a vision softly is creep--ing,
F C
Left its seeds while I wa--as sleep--ing,
F C
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Am G Am
Still re--mains within the sound of silence.
[Verse 2]
G
In restless dreams I walked a--lone
Am
Narrow streets of cobble--stone,
C F C
'neath the halo of a street lamp,
F C
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
F C
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
Am G Am
That split the night - and touched the sound of silence.
[Verse 3]
G
And in the naked light I saw
Am
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
C F C
People talking with--out speak--ing,
F C
People hearing with--out listening,
F C
People writing songs that voices never share
Am G Am
And no one dare,- disturb the sound of silence.
[Verse 4]
G
Fools said I, you do not know
Am
Silence like a cancer grows.
C F C
Hear my words that I mi--ight teach you,
F C
Take my arms that I mi--ight reach you.
F C Am
But my words like silent raindrops fell,--
G Am
And echoed in the wells of silence
[Verse 5]
G
And the people bowed and prayed
Am
To the neon God they made.
C F C
And the sign flashed out it's warn--ing,
F C
In the words that it was form--ing.
F C
And the sign said, the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
Am G Am
and tenement halls. And whisper'd in the sounds **- of silence.

Sunday Morning Coming Down *[C] - Kris Krisofferson
[Verse 1]
C
Well I woke up Sunday morning
F C
with no way to hold my head, that didn't hurt
and the beer I had for breakfast
Am G
wasn't bad so I had one more for dessert
C
Then I fumble through my closet for
F C C B Am
my clothes and found my cleanest dirty shirt
F
and I shaved my face and combed my hair
Dm G
and stumbled down the stairs to meet the day
C
I'd smoked my brain the night before
F C
on cigarettes and songs that I've been pickin'
but I lit my first and watched a small kid
Am G
cussin' at a can that he was kicking
C
Then I crossed the empty street and caught
F C C B Am
the Sunday smell of someone fryin' chicken
F Dm
and it took me back to somethin' that
F G C
I'd lost somehow somewhere along the way
[Chorus]
F
On the Sunday mornin' sidewalks
C
wishing Lord that I was stoned
G
'cause there is something in a Sunday
C
that makes a body feel alone
F
And there's nothin' short of dyin'
C
half as lonesome as the sound
G
on the sleepin' city sidewalks
C
Sunday mornin' comin' down
C
In the park I saw a daddy with
F C
a laughing little girl who he was swingin'
and I stopped beside a Sunday school
Am G
and listened to the song that they were singin'
C
Then I headed back for home and
F C C B Am
somewhere far away a lonely bell was ringin'
F Dm
and it echoed thru the canyon like
F G C
the disappearing dreams of yesterday.
[Chorus]
F
On the Sunday mornin' sidewalks
C
wishing Lord that I was stoned
G
'cause there is something in a Sunday

Suzanne
Leonard Cohen
[F] Suzanne takes you down to her place by the river
You can [Gm] hear the boats go by you can spend the night beside her
And you [F] know that she's half crazy but that's why you want to be there
And she [Am] feeds you tea and oranges that come [Bb] all the way from China
And just [F] when you mean to tell her that you [Gm] have no love to give her
Then she [F] gets you on her wavelength and she [Gm] lets the river answer
That you've [F] always been her lover
And you [Am] want to travel with her and you [Bb] want to travel blind
And you [F] know that she will trust you
For you've [Gm] touched her perfect body with your [F] mind
[F] And Jesus was a sailor when He walked upon the water
And He [Gm] spent a long time watching from his lonely wooden tower
And [F] when He knew for certain only drowning men could see Him
He said [Am] All men will be sailors then un[Bb]til the sea shall free them
But [F] He Himself was broken long be[Gm]fore the sky would open
For[F]saken almost human. He [Gm] sank beneath your wisdom like a [F] stone
And you [Am] want to travel with him and you [Bb] want to travel blind
And you [F] think maybe you'll trust him
For he's [Gm] touched your perfect body with his [F] mind
[F] Suzanne takes your hand and she leads you to the river
She is [Gm] wearing rags and feathers from Salvation Army counters
And the [F] sun pours down like honey on our lady of the harbor
And she [Am] shows you where to look among the [Bb] garbage and the flowers
There are [F] heroes in the seaweed there are [Gm] children in the morning
They are [F] leaning out for love and they will [Gm] lean that way forever
While Su[F]zanne holds the mirror
And you [Am] want to travel with her and you [Bb] want to travel blind
And you [F] know that you will trust her
For she's [Gm] touched your perfect body with her [F] mind

The Rose
Bette Midler
Some say [C] love it is a [G7] river
That [F]drowns the [G] tender [C] reed
Some say [C] love it is a [G7] razor
That [F] leads your [G] soul to [C] bleed
Some say [Em7] love it is a [Am] hunger [Am7]
An [F] endless aching [G7] need
I say [C] love it is a [G7] flower
And [F] you, [G7] its only [C] seed
It's the [C] heart afraid of [G7] breaking
That [F] never [G7] learns to [C] dance
It's the [C] dream afraid of [G7] waking
That [F] never [G7] takes a [C] chance
It's the [Em7] one who won't be [Am] taken [Am7]
Who [F] cannot seem to [G7] give
And the [C] soul afraid of [G7] dying
That [F] never [G7] learns to [C] live
When the [C] night has been too [G7] lonely
And the [F] road has [G7] been too [C] long
And you [C] think that love is [G7] only
For the [F] lucky [G7] and the [C] strong
Just re[Em7]member in the [Am] winter [Am7]
Far be[F]neath the bitter [G7] snow
Lies the [C] seed that with the [G7] sun's love
In the [F] spring [G7] becomes the [C] rose
The Sally Gardens (Maggie)
Down [D] by the [A] Salley [G] Gar–[D]dens
My [G] love and [A] I did [D] meet [D]
She [D] passed the [A] Sally [G] Gar–[D] dens
With [G] little [A] snow-white [D] feet [D]
She [G] bid me [G] take love [A] ea–[D]sy
As the [G] leaves grow [A] on the [D] tree [D]
But [D] I was [A] young and [G] fool–[D]ish
With [G] her did [A] not a–[D]gree [D]
In a [D] field down [A] by the [G] ri–[D]ver
My [G] love and [A] I did [D] stand [D]
And [D] on my [A] leaning [G] shoul–[D]der
She [G] laid her [A] snow-white [D] hand [D]
She [G] bid me [G] take life [A] ea–[D]sy
As the [G] grass grows [A] on the [D] weirs [D]
But [D] I was [A] young and [G] foo–[D]lish
And [G] now am [A] full of [D] tears
The Sound Of Silence Ukulele - Simon & Garfunkel
[Verse 1]
Dm C
Hello darkness, my old friend
Dm
I've come to talk with you again
Bb F
Because a vision softly creeping
Bb F
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
Bb F
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Dm
Still remains
F C Dm
Within the sound* of silence
[Verse 2]
C
In restless dreams I walked alone
Dm
Narrow streets of cobblestone
Bb F
'neath the halo of a street lamp
Bb F
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
Bb F
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
Dm
That split the night
F C Dm
And touched the sound* of silence
[Verse 3]
C
And in the naked light I saw
Dm
Ten thousand people, maybe more
Bb F
People talking without speaking
Bb F
People hearing without listening
Bb F
People writing songs that voices never share
Dm
And no one dare
F C Dm
Disturb the sound* of silence
[Verse 4]
C
"Fools", said I, "You do not know
Dm
Silence like a cancer grows
Bb F
Hear my words that I might teach you
Bb F
Take my arms that I might reach you"
Bb F Dm
But my woooooords like silent raindrops fell
F C Dm
And echoed in the wells* of silence
[Verse 5]
C
And the people bowed and prayed
Dm
To the neon god they made
Bb F
And the sign flashed out its warning
Bb F
In the words that it was forming
Bb
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets
F
Are written on the subway walls
Dm
And tenement halls"
F C Dm
And whispered in the sounds* of silence
Dm
The Times They Are A Changin’
Bob Dylan
Come [C] gather 'round [Am] people, wher[F]ever you [C] roam
And ad[C]mit that the [Dm] waters a[F]round you have [G7] grown
And a[C]ccept it that [Am] soon you'll be [F] drenched to the [C] bone
If your [C] time to [Am] you Is worth [G] saving [G7]
Then you [F] better start [C] swimming or you'll [F] sink like a [G7] stone
For the [C] times [Am] they are a-[G7]cha -- [G7]--ang -- [C]in'.
Come [C] writers and [Am] critics, who prophe[F]size with your [C] pen
And [C] keep your eyes [Dm] wide, the chance [F] won't come a[G7]gain
And [C] don't speak too [Am] soon, for the [F] wheel's still in [C] spin
And there's [C] no telling [Am] who that it's [G] naming . [G7].
For the [F] loser [C] now will be [F] later to [G7] win
For the [C] times [Am] they are a-[G7]cha -- [G7]--ang -- [C]in'.
Come [C] senators, [Am] congressmen, [F] please heed the [C] call
Don't [C] stand in the [Dm] doorway, don't [F] block up the [G7] hall
For [C] he that gets [Am] hurt will be [F] he who has [C] stalled
There's a [C] battle out[Am]side and it’s [G] raging . [G7].
It'll [F] soon shake your [C] windows and [F] rattle your [G7] walls
For the [C] times [Am] they are a-[G7]cha -- [G7]--ang -- [C]in'.
Come [C] mothers and [Am] fathers, [F] throughout the [C] land
And [C] don't crit[Dm]icize what you [F] can't under[G7]stand
Your [C] sons and your [Am] daughters are [F] beyond your co[C]mmand
Your [C] old road is [Am] rapidly [G] aging . [G7].
Please [F] get out the [C] new one if you [F] can't lend your [G7] hand
For the [C] times [Am] they are a-[G7]cha -- [G7]--ang -- [C]in'.
The [C] line it is [Am] drawn, the [F] curse it is [C] cast.
The [C] slow one [Dm] now will [F] later be [G7] fast
As the [C] present [Am] now will [F] later be [C] past.
The [C] order is [Am] rapidly [G] fading [G7]
And the [F] first one [C] now will [F] later be [G7] last
For the [C] times [Am] they are a-[G7]cha -- [G7]--ang -- [C]in'.
The Town I Loved So Well - Phil Coulter
[G] In my memo-[D]-ry I will [C] always [G] see.
The [C] town that [G] I have loved so [D] well
Where our [G] school played [D] ball by the [C]gas-yard [G] wall
And we [C] laughed through the [G] smoke [D] and the [G] smell.
Going [Em] home in the [D] rain running [G] up the dark [C]lane,
Past the jail and [A7] down beside the [D] fountain
Those were [G] happy [D] days in so [C] many many [G] ways,
In the [C] town I [G] loved [D] so [G] well.
In the [G] early [D] morning the [C] shirt factory [G] horn
Called [C] women from [G] Creggan, the Moor and the [D] Bog
While the [G] men on the [D] dole played a [C] mother’s [G] role
Fed the [C] children and [G] then [D] walked the [G] dog
And when [Em] times got [D] rough, there was [G] just about e-[C]-nough
But they saw it through [A7] without com-[D]-plaining
For [G] deep in[D]side was a [C]burning [G] pride,
In the [C] town I [G] loved [D]so [G] well.
There was [G] music [D] there in the [C] Derry [G] air,
Like a [C]language that [G] we could all under-[D]-stand
I [G] remember the [D] day when I [C] earned my first [G] pay,
as I [C] played in a [G] small [D] pickup [G] band
There I [Em] spent my [D] youth and to [G] tell you the [C] truth,
I was sad to leave it [A7] all be [D]-hind me
For I'd [G] learned about [D] life and I'd [C]found a [G] wife,
In the [C] town I [G] loved [D] so [G] well.
But when [G] I re-[D]-turned how my [C] eyes were [G] burned
To [C] see how a [G] town could be brought to it's[D] knees
By the [G] armoured [D] cars and the [C] bombed out [G] bars
And the [C] gas that hangs [G] on to ev-[D]-ery [G] breeze
Now the [Em] army's in-[D]-stalled by that [G] old gas-yard [C]wall
And the damned barbed wire gets [A7] higher [D] and higher
With their [G] tanks and [D] guns, Oh my [C] God, what have they [G] done
To the [C] town I [G] loved [D] so [G] well.
Now the [G] music's [D] gone but they [C]carry [G] on
For their [C] spirit's been [G] bruised, never bro-[D]-ken
Oh, they'll [G] not for-[D]-get still their [C]hearts are [G] set
On to-[C]-morrow and [G] peace [D] once [G] again
Now what's [Em] done is [D] done and what's [G] won is [C]won
And what's lost is lost and [A7] gone for-[D]-ever
I can [G] only [D] pray for a [C] bright brand new [G] day
In the [C] town I [G] loved [D] so [G] well.
(Slowly)
In the [C] town I [G] loved [D] so [G] well.
The Water is Wide
The Seekers
[C] The water is wide, [F] I can't cross [C] o'er
And neither [Am] have I [F] wings to [G7] fly.
Build me a [Em] boat that can carry [Am] two, [F]
And both shall [C] row, [G7] my love and [C] I.
A ship there [C] is, [F] and sails the [C] sea,
She's loaded [Am] deep, [F] as deep can [G7] be
But not so [Em] deep as the love I'm [Am] in,
[F]I know not [C] how [G7] I sink or [C] swim.
When love is [C] young, [F] and love is [C] fine
It's like a [Am] gem [F] when first it's [G7] new.
But love grows [Em] old and waxes [Am] cold,
[F]And fades a[C]way [G7] like the morning [C] dew.
[C] The water is wide, [F] I can't cross [C] o'er
And neither [Am] have I [F] wings to [G7] fly.
Build me a [Em] boat that can carry [Am] two, [F]
And both shall [C] row, [G7] my love and [C] I,[F]
And both shall [C] row, [G7] my love and [C] I.

On Hono[G7]lu[G]lu [C] Bay
There’s something tender in the moonlight
On Hono[G7]lu[G]lu [C] Bay
And all the [F] beaches are filled with peaches
Who bring their ukes along
And in the [C] glimmer of the moonlight
They love to [D7] sing this [G7] song
If [C] you like Ukulele Lady
Ukulele Lady like a’you
If [G7] you like to linger where it’s shady
Ukulele Lady linger [C] too
If you kiss Ukulele Lady
While you promise ever to be true
And [G7] she sees another Ukulele
Lady foolin’ ‘round with [C] you [C7]
[F] Maybe she’ll sigh (an awful lot)
[C] Maybe she’ll cry (and maybe not)
[D7] Maybe she’ll find somebody else [G7]
By and by
To [C] sing to when it’s cool and shady
Where the tricky wicky wacky woo
If [G7] you like Ukulele Lady
Ukulele Lady like-a [C] you
[C] She used to sing to me by moonlight
On Hono[G7]lu[G]lu [C] Bay
Fond memories cling to me by moonlight
Although I’m [G7] far [G] a[C]way
[F] Some day I’m going, where eyes are glowing
And lips are made to kiss
To see some[C]body in the moonlight
And hear the [D7] song I [G7] miss

Starry starry [G] night [Gsus4] [G] paint your palette [Am] blue and grey

Shadows on the [G] hills [Gsus4] [G] sketch the trees and the [Am] daffodils
Catch the breeze and the [C] winter chills
In [D] colours on the snowy linen [G] land [C] [G]
Now I under[Am]stand [Am6] what you tried to [G] say to [Gmaj7] me [Em7]
How you suffered for you [Am] sanity [Am6] and how you tried to set them [Em] free
They would not listen they did [A] not know how [Am]

Starry starry [G] night [Gsus4] [G] flaming flowers that [Am] brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in [C] violet haze re[D]flect in Vincent's eyes of china [G] blue

Are [D] soothed beneath the artist’s loving [G] hand [C] [G]
Now I under[Am]stand [Am6] what you tried to [G] say to [Gmaj7] me [Em7]
How you suffered for you [Am] sanity [Am6] and how you tried to set them [Em] free
They would not listen they did [A] not know how [Am]
Per[Am6]haps they'll listen [G] now
For they could not [Am] love you [Am6] but still your love was [G] true [Gmaj7] [Em7]
And when no [Am] hope was left in sight on that [Cm] starry starry night
You [G] took your life as [F7] lovers often [E7] do
But I [Am] could have told you Vincent
This [C] world was never meant for one as [D] beautiful as you [G] [C] [G]
Starry starry [G] night [Gsus4] [G] portraits hung in [Am] empty halls
Frameless heads on [C ] nameless walls
With [D] eyes that watch the world and can't for[G]get
Like the stranger that you've [G] met [Gsus4] [G] the ragged man in [Am] ragged clothes
The silver thorn of [C] bloody rose lies [D] crushed and broken on the virgin [G] snow
Now I think I [Am] know [Am6] what you tried to [G] say to [Gmaj7] me [Em7]
And how you suffered for you [Am] sanity [Am6] how you tried to set them [Em] free
They would not listen they're not [A] listening still [Am]
