[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
So happy [C] Christmas, I love you [F] baby
I can see a [C] better time when [F] all our [G7] dreams come [C] true [2,3,4]

They've got [C] cars big as [G] bars, they've got [Am] rivers of [F] gold
But the [C] wind goes right through you, it's no place for the [G] old
When you [C] first took my hand on a [Am] cold Christmas [F] Eve
You [C] promised me Broadway was [G] waiting for [C] me
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]

Fast Car - Tracy Chapman
You’ve got a fast car, I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal, maybe together we can get somewhere
Anyplace is better. Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we’ll make something, but me myself I got nothing to prove
You got a fast car, and I got a plan to get us out of here
I been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
We won’t have to drive too far, just cross the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs and finally see what it means to be living
You see my old man’s got a problem he live with the bottle
That’s the way it is
He says his body’s too old for working
I say his body’s too young to look like his
My mama went off and left him, she wanted more from life
Than he could give
I said somebody’s got to take care of him
So I quit school and that’s what I did
You got a fast car, but is it fast enough so we can fly away
We gotta make a decision, we leave tonight or live and die this way
[Chorus]
C Cmaj7 C
‘Cause I remember when we were driving, driving in your car
G Gadd9 G
The speed so fast it felt like I was drunk
Em Em7 Em
The city lights lay out before us
Dsus4 D Dsus4
And your arm felt nice wrapped ‘round my shoulder
C Em D Dsus2 D
And I had a feeling that I belonged
C Em D Dsus2 D C D
And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car and we go cruising to entertain ourselves
You still ain’t got a job and I work in the market as a checkout girl
I know things will get better, you’ll find work and I’ll get promoted
We’ll move out of the shelter, buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs
[Chorus]
You got a fast car, and I got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking late at the bar
See more of your friends than you do of your kids
I’d always hoped for better
Thought maybe together you and me would find it
I got not plans I ain’t going nowhere
So take your fast car and keep on driving
[Chorus]

[Chorus]
[C] I've seen [Am] fire and I've seen [G] rain
I've seen [C] sunny days that I [Am] thought would never [G] end
I've seen [C] lonely times when I [Am] could not find a [G] friend
But I [F] always thought that I'd [Dm] see you [G] again
[Verse 2]
[G] Won't you look down upon me, [Dm] Jesus
You've got to [C] help me make a [G] stand
You've just got to [D] see me through [F] another day
[G] My body's [Dm] aching and my [C] time is at [G] hand
And I won't [D] make it any [F] other way
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
[G] Been walking my mind to an [Dm] easy time, my [C] back turned towards the [G] sun
Lord knows when the [D] cold wind blows it'll [F] turn your head around
[G] Well, there's hours of time on the [Dm] telephone line to [C] talk about things to [G] come
Sweet dreams and [D] flying machines in [F] pieces on the ground
[Chorus] Then [Outro]
Thought I'd [F] see you one more time [G] again
There's just a [F] few things coming my way this [G] time around, now
Thought I'd [F] see you, thought I'd see you fire and [G] rain, now . . .
Folsom Prison Blues - Jonny Cash
Intro
C C C C
[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
[Verse 2]
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
But I [F] shot a man in Reno... just to watch him [C] die
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 ]
[Last line - Verse 4]
[Slow up]
And I'd [G7] let that lonesome whistle... blow my blues a-[C]way

You could [C] meet me if I [Dm] sent you down the [G7] fare

I'll look [Dm] for you if I'm [F] ever back this [G7] way.
Yes our [C] good times are all [Dm] gone, and I'm [G7] bound for moving [C] on

The [D] hero would be [Em] me but [C] heroes often[G] fail
And [C] you won’t read that [G] book again

[G] I’d walk away like a [C] movie star,
who gets [D] burned in a three way [Em] script
[C] Enter number [G] two, a [C] movie queen to [G] play the scene
Of [Am7] bringing all the [D] good things out in [G] me,
[C] but for now love, let’s be [G] real
I [C] never thought I could [G] act this way,

Am Dm
Well I'm standing by a river but the water doesn't flow
F E Am
It boils with every poison you can think of
Am Dm
And I'm underneath the street light the delight of joy I know
F E Am
Scared beyond belief way down in the shadows
C G
And the perverted fear of violence chokes the smile on every face
F E
Common sense is ringing out the bells
Am Dm F E Am
This ain't no technological breakdown oh no this is the road to hell
Am C G
And as the roads jam up with credit and there's nothing you can do
F E
It s all just bits of paper flying away from you
Am Dm
Oh look out world take a good look look who's down there

You must learn this lesson fast and learn it well

This ain't no upwardly mobile freeway oh no

This is the road... this is the road...this is the road to hell

She Moved Through The Fair
Traditional
[alternates G and F throughout song]
[G] My[F] young love said to[G] me
My[F] mother won't[G] mind
And my[F] father won't[G] slight you
For[F] your lack of[G] kind
And she[F] stepped away[G] from me
And[F] this she did[G] say
It[F] will not be[G] long love
Til[F] our wedding [G] day
She[F] stepped away[G] from me and she[F] moved through the[G] fair,
And[F] fondly I[G] watched her move[F] here and move[G] there,
And[F] then she went[G] homeward with[F] one star[G] awake,
As the[F] swan in the[G] evening moves[F] over the[G] lake.
The people were saying no two were e'er wed,
But one has a sorrow that never was said,
And I smiled as she passed with her goods and her gear,
And that was the last that I saw of my dear.
Last night she came to me, she came softly in
So softly she came, that her feet made no din,
And she laid her hand on me and this she did say,
"It will not be long, love, til our wedding day."

Verse 1:
Hello darkness my old [D] friend
I’ve come to talk with you a[Em]gain
Because a vision soft[C]ly [G] creeping
Left its seeds while I [C] was slee[G]ping

Still re[Em]mains

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 [Em] 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 [C] its war[G]ning
In the [Em] 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.
