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.

And her [C] hair hung [Em] over her [Am*] sho-[G*]-oul-[C*]-der,

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,,

I can hear the bells of Dublin

in this lonely waiting room

C G C
Not too long before they take us

We've got nothin' left to stay for,

We had no more left to say
F C G
And there isn't any work for us to do
C G C
So farewell ye boys and girls;
G C
Another bloody Flight of Earls
F C G C
Our best asset is our best export, too....
F C G C
C G C
It's not murder, fear or famine
G C
that makes us leave this time
F C G
We're not going to join Mc--Alpine's Fus--ileers
C G C
We've got brains, and we've got visions;
G C
we've got edu--cation, too!
F C G C
But we just can't throw a--way these precious years
G
So we walk the streets of London,
F C
And the streets of Balti--more
F C G
And we meet at night in several Boston bars
C G C
We're the leaders of the future
G C
But we're far a--way from home
F C G C
And we dream of you be--neath the Irish stars
F C G C
C G C
As we look on El--lis Is--land,
G C
and the Lady in the bay
F C G
And Manhattan turns to face another Sunday
C G C
We just wonder what you're doing
G C
to bring us all back home
F C G C
As we look forward to a--nother Monday
G
Because it's not the work that scares us
F C
We don't mind an honest job
F C G
And we know things will get better once a--gain
C G C G C
So a thousand times adieu, We've got Bono and U2
F C G C
All we're missin' is the Guinness, and the rain
F C G C
C G C
So switch off your new computers
G C
cause the writing's on the wall
F C G
We're leaving as our fathers did be--fore
C G C
Take a look at Dublin airport,
G C
or the boat that leaves North Wall
F C G C
There'll be no Youth Unemp--loyment any more
G
Because we're over here in Queensland,
F C
And in parts of New South Wales
F C G
We're on the seas and airways and the trains
C G C
But if we see better days,
G C
Those big airplanes go both ways
F C G C F C
And we'll all be comin' back to you a--gain!

And the tears they [Am] flowed [F] in her [G] eyes of [C] blue.
'Twas early [C] early, all in the [Em] morning

The Ballad of Lucy Jordan * [C] - Dr Hook
C
C F C
The morning sun touched lightly on, the eyes of Lucy Jordan
G G7
In her white suburban bedroom, in a white suburban town,
C C7 F C
As she lay there beneath the covers, dreaming of a thousand lovers
G G7 C C7
Till the world turned to orange and the room went spinning round,
F C
At the age of 37, she realized she'd never ride through Paris
G Gsus4 G
In a sports car, with the warm wind in her hair
C C7 F C
And she let the phone keep ringing, as she sat there softly singing
G G7 F C C Csus4 C
Pretty nursery rhymes she'd memorized in her daddy's easy chair
C C7 F C
Her husband, he was off to work, and the kids were off to school
G G7
And there were oh so many ways for her to spend her day,
C F C
She could clean the house for hours, or rearrange the flowers
G G7 G C C7
Or run naked down the shady street screaming all the way,
F C
At the age of 37, she realized she'd never ride through Paris
G Gsus4 G
In a sports car, with the warm wind in her hair
C C7 F C
And she let the phone keep ringing, as she sat there softly singing
G G7 F C C Csus4 C
Pretty nursery rhymes she'd memorized in her daddy's easy chair
C F C
The evening sun touched gently on,the eyes of Lucy Jordan
G G7
On the rooftop where she'd climbed when all the laughter grew too loud,
C F C
And she bowed and curtseyed to the man, who reached and offered her his hand
G G7 C C7
And led her down to the long white car that waited past the crowd,
F C
At the age of 37, she knew she'd found forever as they rode along through Paris
G Gsus4 G
With the warm wind in her hair
G7 C F C
Ooooohhh yes with the wind in her hair
G7 C F C
Ooooohhh yes with the wind in her hair..
