Sound of Silence - Simon & Garfunkel
Intro: (Gentle Strums)
[Em]
Verse 1:
Hello darkness my old [D] friend
I’ve come to talk with you a[Em]gain
Because a vision soft[C]ly creep[G]ing
Left its seeds while I [C] was slee[G]ping
And the [C] vision that was planted in my [G] brain
Still re[Em]mains
[G] Within the [D] sound... of [Em] silence [Stop]
Verse 2: (Normal Strumming)
In restless dreams I walked a[D]lone
Narrow streets of cobbled [Em] stone
‘Neath the halo of [C] a street [G] lamp
I turned my collar to the [C] cold and [G] damp
When my [C] eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon [G] light
That split the [Em] night
[G] And touched the [D] sound... of [Em] silence
Verse 3:
And in the naked light I [D] saw
Ten thousand people maybe [Em] more
People talking with[C]out spea[G]king
People hearing with[C]out listen[G]ing
People writing [C] songs that voices never [G] share
And no one [Em] dared
[G] Disturb the [D] sound... of [Em] silence
Verse 4:
“FOOLS!” said I, you do not [D] know
Silence like a cancer [Em] grows
Hear my words that I [C] might teach [G] you
Take my arms that I [C] might reach [G] you
But my [C] words like silent raindrops [G] fell [extra bar] [G]
And e[G]choed
In the [D] wells of [Em] silence
Verse 5:
And the people bowed and [D] prayed
To the neon God they [Em] made
And the sign flashed out [C] its war[G]ning
In the words that it [C] was for[G]ming
And the sign said, the [C] words of the prophets are written on the subway [G] walls
And tenement [Em] halls
And [G] whispered... in the [D] sounds... of [Em - gentle strums] silence.

Verse 1:
In [Am] Banbridge Town in the [C] County [G] Down
One [Am] morning [F] last [G] July,
Down a [Am] boreen green came a [C] sweet [G] colleen
And she [Am] smiled as she [G] passed me [Am] by.
She [C] looked so sweet from her [G] two bare feet
To the [Am] sheen of her [F] nut brown [G] hair.
Such a [Am] coaxing elf, sure I [C] shook my [G] self
To make [Am] sure I was [G] really [Am] there.
|[Chorus]
|From [C] Bantry Bay up to [G] Derry Quay and
|From [Am] Galway to [F] Dublin [G] Town,
|No [Am] maid I've seen like the [C] sweet col[G]leen
|That I [Am] met in the [G] County [Am] Down.
Verse 2:
As she [Am] onward sped, sure I [C] shook my [G] head,
And I [Am] gazed with a [F] feelin' [G] rare,
And I [Am] says, says I, to a [C] passer [G]-by,
"Who's the [Am] maid with the [G] nut brown [Am] hair?"
He [C] smiled at me and he [G] says, says he,
"That's the [Am] gem of old [F] Ireland's [G] crown.
That's [Am] Rosie McCann from the [C] banks of the [G] Bann,
She's the [Am] star of the [G] County [Am] Down."
|[Chorus]
|From [C] Bantry Bay up to [G] Derry Quay and
|From [Am] Galway to [F] Dublin [G] Town,
|No [Am] maid I've seen like the [C] sweet col[G]leen
|That I [Am] met in the [G] County [Am] Down
Verse 3:
At the [Am] Harvest Fair she'll be [C] surely [G] there
So I'll [Am] dress in my [F] Sunday [G] clothes,
With my [Am] shoes shone bright and my [C] hat cocked [G] right
For a [Am] smile from my [G] nut brown [Am] rose.
No [C] pipe I'll smoke, no [G] horse I'll yoke
Till my [Am] plough is a [F] rust coloured [G] brown.
Till a [Am] smiling bride by my [C] own fire [G] side
Sits the [Am] star of the [G] County [Am] Down.
|[Chorus]
|From [C] Bantry Bay up to [G] Derry Quay and
|From [Am] Galway to [F] Dublin [G] Town,

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
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
[Bridge]
A
Oh, that'll have to do
E F#m
My other half was you
D
I hope this pain's just passin' through
E
But I doubt it
[Chorus]

And I love Vermont, but it's the season of the sticks

And I saw your mom, she forgot that I existed

The Gambler - Kenny Rogers
Intro:
[G] [G] [G]
Verse 1:
On a [G] warm summer's evenin' on a [C] train bound for [G] nowhere,
I met up with the gambler; we were both too tired to [D] sleep.
So [G] we took turns a starin' out the [C] window at the [G] darkness
'til [C] boredom over [G] took us, [D] and he began to [G] speak.
Verse 2:
He said, [G] "Son, I've made a life out of [C] readin' people's [G] faces,
And knowin' what their cards were by the way they held their [D] eyes.
And if [G] you don't mind my sayin', I can [C] see you're out of [G] aces.
For a [C] taste of your [G] whiskey I'll [D] give you some [G] advice."
Verse 3:
So I [G] handed him my bottle and he [C] drank down my last [G] swallow.
Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a [D] light.
And the [G] night got deathly quiet, and his [C] face lost all ex[G]pression.
Said, "If you're [C] gonna play the [G] game, boy, ya gotta [D] learn to play it [G] right.
|Chorus:
|You got to [G] know when to hold 'em, [C] know when to [G] fold 'em,
|[C] know when to [G] walk away and know when to [D] run.
|You never [G] count [Am] your [G] money when you're [C] sittin' at the [G] table.
|There'll be [C] time enough for [G] countin' [D] when the dealin's [G] done.
Verse 4:
Ev'ry [G] gambler knows that the [C] secret to surv[G]ivin'
is knowin' what to throw away and knowing what to [D] keep.
'Cause [G] ev'ry hand's a winner and [C] ev'ry hand's a [G] loser,
and the [C] best that you can [G] hope for is to [D] die in your [G] sleep."
Verse 5:
And [G] when he'd finished speakin', he [C] turned back towards the [G] window,
...Crushed out his cigarette and faded off to [D] sleep.
And [G] somewhere in the darkness the [C] gambler, he broke [G] even.
But [C] in his final [G] words I found an [D] ace that I could [G] keep.
|Chorus x3 (second time is acapella):
|You got to [G] know when to hold 'em, [C] know when to [G] fold 'em,
|[C] know when to [G] walk away and know when to [D] run.
|You never [G] count [Am] your [G] money when you're [C] sittin' at the [G] table.
|There'll be [C] time enough for [G] countin' [D] when the dealin's [G] done.

Did they (A)beat the drum slowly, did they (G) play the fifes (D) lowly
Did they (A) sound, the death march, as they (G) lowered you (A) down
Did the (G) band play the last post and (D) chorus
And did the (G) pipes, play the (Em) flowers, of the (A7) for-(D)-est.
Did you (D) leave, a wife, or a (G) sweetheart be-(Em)-hind
In some (A) faithful (A7) heart, is your (G) memory en-(D)-shrined
Although (D) you died back, in (G) nineteen six-(Em)-teen
In some (A) faithful (A7) heart, are you for-(G)-ever nine-(D)-teen
Or (D) are you a stranger without, (G) even a (Em) name

The (A) countless white (A7) crosses, stand (G) mute in the (A7) sand
To (D) man's blind in-difference, to (G) his fellow (Em) man
To a (A) whole gene-(A7)ration, that was (G) butchered and (D) dammed

Ah, young (D) Willie Mc- Bride, I can't (G) help wonder (Em) why?
Do (A) those that lie (A7) here, know (G) why did they (D) die
And (D) did they be-lieve when they (G) answered the (Em) call
Did they (A) really be-(A7)-lieve, that this (G) war would end (D) wars
Ah well the (D) sorrow the suffering, the (G) glory the (Em) pain
And the (A) killing and dying, was (G) all done in (A7) vain

I think about 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 winds blew up, her bow dipped down, Oh blow, me bully boys, blow (huh)
|[Chorus]
|F C Dm Am
| Soon may the Wellerman come, to bring us sugar and tea and rum
|F C E7 Am
| One day, when the tonguin’ is done, we'll take our leave and go
[Am] ( ... two, three, four)
Am Dm Am
She'd not been two weeks from shore, when down on her a right whale bore
Am E7 Am
The captain called all hands and swore, he'd take that whale in tow (huh)
|[Chorus]
|F C Dm Am
| Soon may the Wellerman come, to bring us sugar and tea and rum

Before the boat had hit the water, the whaaale's tail came up and caught her
Am E7 Am
All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her when she dived down low (huh)
|[Chorus]
|F C Dm Am
| Soon may the Wellerman come, to bring us sugar and tea and rum
|F C E7 Am
| One day, when the tonguin’ is done, we'll take our leave and go
[Am] ( ... two, three, four)

No line was cut, no whale was freed, the captain's mind was not of greed
Am E7 Am
And he belonged to the Whaleman's creed, she took that ship in tow (huh)
|[Chorus]
|F C Dm Am
| Soon may the Wellerman come, to bring us sugar and tea and rum

For forty days or even more, the line went slack then tight once more
Am E7 Am
All boats were lost, there were only four, but still that whale did go (huh)
|[Chorus]
|F C Dm Am
| Soon may the Wellerman come, to bring us sugar and tea and rum
|F C E7 Am
| One day, when the tonguin’ is done, we'll take our leave and go

As far as I've heard, the fight's still on, the line's not cut, and the whale's not gone
Am Dm Am
The Wellerman makes his regular call, to en-courage the captain, crew and all

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]
[Instrumental Verse]
[Verse 5]
[C] They had a teenage wedding, and the old folks wished them well.
