Black Velvet Band - TRADITIONAL
Intro: [Dm] [G7] [C] [C]
In a [C] neat little town they call Belfast, apprenticed to trade I was [G] bound,
and [C] Many an [Em] hour of sweet [Am*] hap [G*] pi [C*] ness
Have I [Dm] spent in that [G7] neat little [C] town.
'Till a sad misfortune came o'er me, and caused me to stray from the [G] land.
Far a [C] way from [Em] my friends and re-[Am*] la-[G*]-a-[C*]-tions,
Be-[Dm]trayed by the [G7] black velvet [C] band.
Her [C] eyes they shone like diamonds, I thought her the queen of the [G] land,
And her [C] hair hung [Em] over her [Am*] sho-[G*]-oul-[C*]-der,
Tied [Dm] up with a [G7] black velvet [C] band.
I [C] took a stroll down Broadway, meaning not long for to [G] stay,
When [C] who should I [Em] meet but this [Am*] pretty [G*] fair [C*] maid,
Come a [Dm] traipsing a-[G7]long the high-[C]way.
She was both fair and handsome, her neck it was just like a [G] swan's.
And her [C] hair hung [Em] over her [Am*] sho-[G*]-oul-[C*]-der,
Tied [Dm] up with a [G7] black velvet [C] band.
Her [C] eyes they shone like diamonds, I thought her the queen of the [G] land,
And her [C] hair hung [Em] over her [Am*] sho-[G*]-oul-[C*]-der,
Tied [Dm] up with a [G7] black velvet [C] band.
I [C] took a stroll with this pretty fair maid, and a gentleman passing us [G] by.
Well, I [C] knew she [Em] meant the [Am*] doing [G*] of [C*] him,
By the [Dm] look in her [G7] roguish black [C] eye.
A gold watch she took from his pocket, and placed it right into my [G] hand,
And the [C] very first [Em] thing that I [Am*] sa-[G*]-id [C*] was
"Bad [Dm] ‘cess to the [G7] black velvet [C] band".
Her [C] eyes they shone like diamonds, I thought her the queen of the [G] land,
And her [C] hair hung [Em] over her [Am*] sho-[G*]-oul-[C*]-der,
Tied [Dm] up with a [G7] black velvet [C] band.
Be[C]fore the judge and the jury, next morning I had to ap-[G]pear.
And the [C] judge he [Em] says to [Am*] me, [G*] "Young [C*] Man,
The [Dm] case against you is [G7] proving [C] clear.
We’ll give you seven years penal servitude, to be spent far away from this [G] land,
Far a-[C]way from your [Em] friends and com-[Am*] pa-[G*]-ni-[C*]-ons,,
Be-[Dm]trayed by the [G7] black velvet [C] band.
Her [C] eyes they shone like diamonds, I thought her the queen of the [G] land,
And her [C] hair hung [Em] over her [Am*] sho-[G*]-oul-[C*]-der,
Tied [Dm] up with a [G7] black velvet [C] band.
So [C]come on you jolly young fellows, a warning take from [G]me
When you’re [C]out on the [Em] town me [Am*] bo-[G*]-oo-[C*]oys,
Be-[Dm] ware the[G7] pretty [C]Colleen
For they will fill you with strong drink, me lads, ‘Till you’re unable to[G] stand
And the [C] very last thing [Em] that you will [Am*]kn [G]ow is
You’re [Dm] landed in [G7] van-demons [C] land
Her [C] eyes they shone like diamonds, I thought her the queen of the [G] land,
And her [C] hair hung [Em] over her [Am*] sho-[G*]-oul-[C*]-der,
Tied [Dm] up with a [G7] black velvet [C] band.

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".
Outro:
[A] Everyone considered him the [D*] coward of the [A*] county.

Folsom Prison Blues ** - Johnny Cash
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G
I hear the train a comin', it's rollin' round the bend
G7
and I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when
C G
I'm stuck in Folsom Prison and time keeps draggin' on
D7 G
But that train keeps a rollin' on down to San A--ntone
[Verse 2]
G
When I was just a baby my Mama told me "Son
G7
always be a good boy; don't ever play with guns".
C G
But I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die
D7 G
When I hear that whistle blowin' I hang my head and cry
[Verse 3]
G
I bet there's rich folks eating from a fancy dining car
G7
They're probably drinking coffee and smokin' big cigars
C G
Well, I know I had it comin', I know I can't be free
D7 G
But those people keep a movin' and that's what tortures me
[Verse 4]
G
Well, if they freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine
G7
I bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line
C G
Far from Folsom Prison, that's where I want to stay
D7 G
And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away

[Verse 1] (Willie Nelson)
[Am] I was a [G] highwayman, along the [F] coach roads I did [Am] ride
[G] With sword and [F] pistol [C] by my [G] side
[Dm] Many a young [Am] maid lost her [G] baubles to my [F] trade

[Am] The bastards [G] hung me in the [F] spring of [G] twenty [C] five
But [F] I am still [G] alive
[Verse 2] (Kris Kristofferson)
[Am] I was a [G] sailor, I was [F] born upon the [Am] tide
[G] With the [F] sea, I [C] did [G] abide
[Dm] I sailed a [Am] schooner round the [G] horn to [F] Mexico
[Dm] I went [Am] aloft and furled the [G] mainsail in a [F] blow
[Am] And when the [G] yards broke off, they [F] said that [G] I got [C] killed
But [F] I am living [G] still
[Verse 3] (Waylon Jennings)
[Am] I was a [G] dam builder, across a [F] river deep and [Am] wide
[G] Where steel and [F] water [C] did col[G]lide
[Dm] A place called [Am] Boulder on the [G] wild Colo[F]rado
[Dm] I slipped and [Am] fell into the [G] wet concrete [F] below
[Am] They buried [G] me in that gray [F] tomb that [G] knows no [C] sound

[Dm] I'll find a [Am] place to rest my [G] spirit if I [F] can

[Am] Or I may [G] simply be a [F] single [G] drop of [C] rain
[F] But I will [G] remain

And I'll be back [C] again, and [G] again, and [Am] again, and [G] again,

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 [A7]

Spancil Hill - Misc Traditional
[Verse 1]
Am G Em Am
Last night as I lay dreaming, of pleasant days gone by,
C G
Me mind being bent on rambling, to Ireland I did fly,
Am C G
I stepped on board a vision, and followed with a will,
Am G Am
Till the first I came to anchor at the cross at Spancil Hill.
[Verse 2]
Am G Em Am
Deligh--ted by the novelty, Enchanted with the scene,
C G
Where in my early boyhood, Where often I had been,
Am C G
I thought I heard a murmur, And I think I hear it still
Am G Am
It's the little stream of wat--er, That flows down by Spancil Hill.
[Verse 3]
Am G Em Am
To am--use a passin' fan--cy, I lay down on the ground,
C G
Where all my school companions, they shortly gathered 'round,
Am C G
When we were home returnin', we danced with right good will,
Am G Am
To Martin Moylan's mus--ic at, the cross of Spancil Hill.
[Verse 4]
Am G Em Am
T--was on the 23rd of June, the day before the fair,
C G
When Irelands sons and daugh--ters and friends assembled there,
Am C G
The young, the old the brave the bold, their duty to ful--fil,
Am G Am
At the par--ish church near Cloo--ney, a mile from Spancil Hill.
[Verse 5]
Am G Em Am
I went to see me neigh--bours, to see what they might say,
C G
The old ones were all dead and gone, they young ones turning grey,
Am C G
I met with tailor Quigley, he's as bold as ever still,
Am G Am
Sure he used to make me britches, when I lived in Spancil Hill.
[Verse 6]
Am G Em Am
I paid a flying visit, to my first and only love,
C G
She's as fair as any lilly, and as gentle as a dove,
Am C G
she through her arms around me, saying Johnny I love ye still,
Am G Am
She was Meg the farmers daughter, and the pride of Spancil Hill.
[Verse 7]
Am G Em Am
I dreamt I held and kissed her, as in the days of yore,
C G
She said, "Johnny you're only joking, as many's the time before",
Am C G
The cock crew in the morning, he crew both loud and shrill,
Am G Am
And I a--woke in California, many miles from Spancil Hill.
[OUTRO-SLOWING DOWN]
Am G Am
And I a--woke in California, many miles from Spancil Hill.

Sunday Morning Coming Down - Johnny Cash
[Verse 1]
[G ]Well, I woke up Sunday morning
with no [C] way to hold my [D] head that didn't [G] hurt
and the [G] beer I had for breakfast wasn't [Em] bad
so I had one more for des[D]sert
then I [G] fumbled in my closet [G7] through my [C] clothes
and found my cleanest, dirty [G] shirt [Em]
then I [C] washed my face, and [D] combed my hair
[C] and stumbled down the [D] stairs to meet the day
[Verse 2]
[G] I'd smoked my mind the [G7] night before
[C] with cigarettes and [D] songs I'd been [G] picking
but I [G] lit my first and watched a small kid [Em]
playing with a can that he was [D] kicking
then I [G] walked across the [G7] street
and caught the [C] Sunday smell of someone's frying [G] chicken [Em]
and Lord it [C] took me back to some[D]thin' that I [Am] lost somewhere
[D] somehow along the [G] way
|[Chorus]
|on a Sunday morning [C] sidewalk
|I'm wishing Lord, that I was [G] stoned
|cause there's something in a [D] Sunday
|that makes the body feel [G] alone
|and there's nothing short of [C] dying
|that's half as lonesome as the [G] sound
|of the sleeping city [D] sidewalks
|and Sunday morning coming [G] down
[Verse 3]
in the [G] park I saw a [G7] daddy
with a [C] laughing little [D] girl that he was [G] swinging
and I [G] stopped beside a Sunday school
[Em] and listened to the songs they were [D] singing
then I [G] headed down the [G7] street
and somewhere [C] far away a lonely bell was ring[G]ing [Em]
and it [C] echoed through the [D] canyons
like our [Am] disappearing [D] dreams of yester[G]day

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.

But I [C] couldn't shoot the water, so a [G] prisoner I was taken.
Chorus:
Verse 5:
If [G] anyone can aid me, it's my [Em] brother in the army,
If [C] I can find his station in [G] Cork or in Killarney.
And [G] if he'll come with me, we'll go [Em] roving near Kilkenny,
and I'm [C] sure he'll treat me better than me [G] own sporting Jenny.
Chorus:
Verse 6:
Now [G] some men take delight in the [Em] carriages a rollin',
But [C] others take delight in the [G] hurley and the bowlin'.
But [G] I take delight in the [Em] juice of the barley,
and [C] courting pretty fair maids in the [G] morning bright and early.
|Chorus:
|Musha [D] ring dum-a doo dum-a da
|[G] Whack for the daddy-o. [C] whack for the daddy-o
|There's [G] whiskey [D7] in the [G] jar

G
I was standing by my window
C G
On a cold and cloudy day
When I saw that hearse come rolling
D G
For to carry my mother away.
[Chorus]
G
Will the circle be unbroken
C G
Bye and bye Lord, bye and bye,
There's a better world home a-waiting
D G
In the sky Lord, in the sky.
G
I said to the undertaker,
C G
Under--taker please drive slow
For that body that you are carrying
D G
Lord, I hate to see her go.
[Chorus]
G
Will the circle be unbroken
C G
Bye and bye Lord, bye and bye,
There's a better world home a-waiting
D G
In the sky Lord, in the sky.
G
Well I followed close behind her
C G
Tried to hold up and be brave
But I could not hide my sorrow
D G
When they laid her in that grave.
[Chorus]
G
Will the circle be unbroken
C G
Bye and bye Lord, bye and bye,
There's a better world home a-waiting
D G
In the sky Lord, in the sky.
G
I went back home, lord that home was lonesome
C G
Since my mother, she was gone
All my brothers, and sisters crying
D G
What a home so sad and a--lone
[Chorus]
G
Will the circle be unbroken
C G
Bye and bye Lord, bye and bye,
There's a better world home a-waiting
D G
In the sky Lord, in the sky.

[Verse 1]
Am F C G
Another head hangs lowly, child is slowly taken
Am F C G
And the violence caused such silence, who are we mistaken
Am F
But you see it's not me, it's not my family
C G
In your head, in your head, they are fighting
Am F
With their tanks and their bombs and their bombs and their guns
C G
in your head, in your head, they are cry--ing
[Chorus 1]
Am F C G
In your head, in your head, zom--bie, zombie, zom--bie
Am F C G
What's in your head, in your head, zombie, zombie, zom--bie
[Instrumental] x2
Am F C G
[Verse 2]
Am F C G
Another mo--ther's breaking heart is taking over
Am F C G
When the violence causes silence, we must be mis--taken
Am F
It's the same old theme since 19--16
C G
In your head, in your head, they're still figh--ting
Am F
With their tanks and their bombs and their bombs and their guns
C G
In your head, in your head, they are dy--ing
[Chorus 2]
Am F C G
In your head, in your head, zom--bie, zombie, zom--bie
Am F C G
What's in your head, in your head, zombie, zombie, zom--bie
