A Thing Called Love [C] - Johny Cash
[Intro]
[C] [Bb] [F] [G7]
[Verse 1]
Six foot [C] six he stood on the ground, he weighed two-hundred and thirty-five pounds
But I saw that [Dm] giant of a man brought [G7] down to his knees by [C] love
He was the kind of [C] man that would gamble on luck, look you in the eye and never back up
But I saw him [Dm] crying like a little whipped [G7] pup because of [C] love
|[Chorus]
|You can't see it with your [C] eyes, hold it in your [F] hand
|But like the [Em] wind that covers our [Am] land
|Strong enough to [F] rule the heart of any [Dm] man, this thing called [G7] love
|It can lift you [C] up, never let you [F] down
|Take your [Em] world and turn it all a[A7]round
|Ever since [C] time nothing's ever been [G] found that's stronger than [C] love
[Verse 2]
Most men are like [C] me they struggle and doubt, they trouble their minds day in and day out
Too busy with [Dm] livin' to worry a[G7]bout a little word like [C] love
But when I see a [C] mother's tenderness as she holds her young close to her breast
Then I thank [Dm] God that the world's been [G7] blessed with a thing called [C] love
|[Chorus]
|You can't see it with your [C] eyes, hold it in your [F] hand
|But like the [Em] wind that covers our [Am] land
|Strong enough to [F] rule the heart of any [Dm] man, this thing called [G7] love
|It can lift you [C] up, never let you [F] down
|Take your [Em] world and turn it all [A7] around
|Ever since [C] time nothing's ever been [G] found that's stronger than [C] love
Outro:
Ever since [C] time nothing's ever been [G] found that’s stronger than [C] love...[C*]

So I've been [C] telling old stories, [G] singing songs,
That [Am] make me think about [F] where I come from.

But I'm [C] steady thinking my [G] way is clear,
And [Am] I know what I will [F] do tomorrow,
When [C] hands are shaken, and the [G] kisses flow,
Then [Am] I will dis [F] appear.

As I [C] walked by the [F] dockside one [C] evening so [Am] fair

[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

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

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 ]

Me and Bobby McGee - Kris Kristofferson
Verse 1:
[A] Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headin’ for the trains
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
I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
And was blowin’ sad while Bobby sung the [D] blues,
With them windshield wipers slapping time,
and [A] Bobby clapping hands with mine
We [E7] sang every song that driver [A] knew
|Chorus:
|[D] Freedom’s just another word for [A] nothing left to lose
|[E7] Nothin’ ain’t worth nothin’, but it’s [A] free
|[D] Feeling good was easy, Lord, when [A] Bobby sang the blues
|[E7] Feeling good was good enough for me,
|good enough for me and bobby Mc [A] Gee.
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
|Chorus:
|[D] Freedom’s just another word for [A] nothing left to lose
|[E7] Nothin’ left is all she left for [A] me
|[D] Feeling good was easy, Lord, when [A] Bobby sang the blues
|[E7] Buddy that was good enough for me,
|good enough for me and bobby Mc [A] Gee.

Rock and Roll Music (Maggie) - Chuck berry
[Chorus] [NC] Just gimme some of that…
[A7] Rock and roll music, any old way you choose it.
It's got a [D] back beat you can't blues it, [A7] any old time you use it.
It's [E7] gotta be rock roll music,
If you wanna dance with [A7] me.
[E7] If you wanna dance with [A7] me.
[Verse 1]
[A7] I've got no kick against [E7] modern jazz, unless they try to play it [A7] too darn fast.
And lose the beauty of the [D] melody, until they sound just like a [E7] symphony…
That's why I go for that...
[Chorus]
[A7] Rock and roll music, any old way you choose it.
It's got a [D] back beat you can't blues it, [A7] any old time you use it.
It's [E7] gotta be rock roll music,
If you wanna dance with [A7] me.
[E7] If you wanna dance with [A7] me.
[Verse 2]
[A7] I took my love on over [E7] 'cross the tracks,
So she can hear my man a-[A7] wail a sax.
I must admit they have a [D] rockin' band,
Man they were blowin' like a [E7] hurr-i-cane. Just gimme some of that…
[Chorus]
[A7] Rock and roll music, any old way you choose it.
It's got a [D] back beat you can't blues it, [A7] any old time you use it.
It's [E7] gotta be rock roll music,
If you wanna dance with [A7] me.
[E7] If you wanna dance with [A7] me.
[Verse 3]
[A7] Way down South they had a [E7] jubilee,
Those Georgia folks they had a [A7] jamboree.
They're drinkin' home-brew from a [D] wooden cup,
The folks all dancin' got [E7] all shook up… And started playin' that...
[Chorus]
[A7] Rock and roll music, any old way you choose it.
It's got a [D] back beat you can't blues it, [A7] any old time you use it.
It's [E7] gotta be rock roll music,
If you wanna dance with [A7] me.
[E7] If you wanna dance with [A7] me.
[Verse 3]
[A7] Don't care to hear 'em play a [E7] tang...go,
I'm in no mood to take a [A7] mam...bo.
It's way too early for a [D] con...go,
So keep on rockin' that [E7] pi-a-no. Just keep playin' that...
[Chorus]
[A7] Rock and roll music, any old way you choose it.
It's got a [D] back beat you can't blues it, [A7] any old time you use it.
It's [E7] gotta be rock roll music,
If you wanna dance with [A7] me.

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.

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.

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 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.

Ukulele Lady [C]

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
