I rem[G]ember when rock was young
Me and [Bm] Susie had so much fun
Holding [C] hands and skimmin' stones
Had an [D] old gold Chevy and a place of my own

While the [C] other kids were rockin' 'round the clock
We were [D] hoppin’ and boppin’ to the Crocodile Rock, well

When your [A7] feet just can't keep still
[D7] I never knew me a better time and I [G] guess I never will

[Bm] Susie went and left me for some foreign guy
[C] Long nights cryin' by the record machine
[D] Dreamin' of my Chevy and my old blue jeans
But they'll [G] never kill the thrills we've got
Burnin' [Bm] up to the Crocodile Rock
Learning [C] fast till the weeks went past
We really [D] thought the Crocodile Rock would last, well
[Chorus]

When your [A7] feet just can't keep still

Well to [Dm] night thank God it’s [G]them instead of [C] you

Fairytale of New York (Maggie) [C]
[Quite Slow]
[NC] It was Christmas [C] Eve babe, in the [F] drunk tank
An old man [C] said to me, won't see a-[G]-nother one
And then he [C] sang a song, the Rare Old [F] Mountain Dew
I turned my [C] face away and [F] dreamed a-[G7] bout [C] you [2,3]
[C] Got on a [C] lucky one, came in eight-[F]teen to one
I've got a [C] feeling this year's for [G] me and you

You were [C] handsome, you're pretty, Queen of New York [G] City
When the [C] band finished [F] playing they [G7] howled out for [C] more
Si-[C]-natra was swinging, all the drunks they were [G] singing
We [C] kissed on the [F] corner then [G7] danced through the [C] night
And the [F] boys of the NYPD choir still [C] singing Galway [Am] Bay

Lying [C] there almost [F] dead on a [G7] drip in that [C] bed
You scumbag, you’re haggard, you cheap lousy [G] blaggard
Happy [C] Christmas your [F] arse, I pray [G7] God it's our [C] last
And the [F] boys of the NYPD choir still [C] singing Galway [Am] Bay
[Bells] And the [C] bells were [F] ringing [G7] out for Christmas [C] day [2,3]
[C] I could have [C] been someone, well so could [F] anyone
You took my [C] dreams from me when I first [G] found you
I kept them [C] with me babe, I put them [F] with my own
Can't make it [C] all alone, I've [F] built my [G7] dreams round [C] you [2,3,4]
And the [F] boys of the NYPD choir still [C] singing Galway [Am] Bay
[Bells] And the [C] bells were [F] ringing [G7] out for Christmas [C] day. [2,3,4]

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.
