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.
Both Sides Now - Joni Mitchell
[G] Bows and [Am] flows of [C] angel [G] hair,
And ice cream [Bm] castles [C] in the [G] air,
And feather [C] canyons [Am] everywhere;
I‘ve looked at clouds that [D] way.
But [G] now they [Am] only [C] block the [G] sun,
They rain and [Bm] snow on [C] every[G]one,
So many [C] things I [Am] would have done,
but clouds got in the [D] way.
I‘ve [G] looked at [Am] clouds from [C] both sides [G] now,
From [C] up and [G] down, and [C] still some[G]how
It‘s [Bm] cloud‘s ill[C]usions [G] I recall
I [C] really don‘t know [D] clouds [D7-alt] [D] at [G] all. [Am] [G] [D]
[G] Moons and [Am] Junes and [C] Ferris [G] wheels,
The dizzy [Bm] dancing [C] way you [G] feel
When every [C] fairy [Am] tale comes real;
I‘ve looked at love that [D] way.
But [G] now it‘s [Am] just a[C]nother [G] show,
You leave them [Bm] laughing [C] when you [G] go,
And if you [C] care don‘t [Am] let them know,
don‘t give yourself a[D]way.
I‘ve [G] looked at [Am] love from [C] both sides [G] now,
From [C] give and [G] take, and [C] still some[G]how
It‘s [Bm] love‘s ill[C]usions [G] I recall
I [C] really don‘t know [D] love [D7^2] [D] at [G] all. [Am] [G] [D]
[G] Tears and [Am] fears and [C] feeling [G] proud,
To say “I [Bm] love you” [C] right out [G] loud;
Dreams and [C] schemes and [Am] circus crowds;
I‘ve looked at life that [D] way.
But [G] now old [Am] friends are [C] acting [G] strange,
They shake their [Bm] heads; they [C] say I‘ve [G] changed
But something‘s [C] lost and [Am] something‘s gained in living every [D] day
I‘ve [G] looked at [Am] life from [C] both sides [G] now,
From [C] win and [G] lose, and [C] still some[G]how
It‘s [Bm] life‘s ill[C]usions [G] I recall
I [C] really don‘t know [G] life [Am] [D] at [D7] [G] all.

As the [C] prison ship sailed [F] out against the [G] sky,
For she’ll [C] live in hope and [F] pray,
For her [C] love in Botany [G] Bay,

[Em] [D] x2
[Verse 1]
Em D
On the first part of the journey
Em D
I was looking at all the life
Em D
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
Em D
There were sand and hills and rings
Em D
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
Em D
And the sky with no clouds
Em D
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
Em D
But the air was full of sound
|[Chorus]
| Em D
|I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
| Em D
|It felt good to be out of the rain
| Em D
|In the desert you can remember your name
| Em D
|'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
|Em D
| La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
|Em D
| La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
[Verse 2]
Em D
After two days in the desert sun
Em D
My skin began to turn red
Em D
After three days in the desert fun
Em D
I was looking at a river bed
Em D
And the story it told of a river that flowed
Em D
Made me sad to think it was dead
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Em D
After nine days I let the horse run free
Em D
'Cause the desert had turned to sea
Em D
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
Em D
There were sand and hills and rings
Em D
The ocean is a desert with its life underground
Em D
And a perfect disguise above
Em D
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
Em D
But the humans will give no love
|[Chorus]
| Em D
|I've been through the desert on a horse with no name

If You Could Read My Mind
Gordon Lightfoot
[G] If you could read my mind love, [F] what a tale my thoughts could tell
[G] Just like an old time movie, [F] about a ghost from a wishing well
[G] In a castle dark or a [C] fortress strong
With [D] chains upon my [Em] feet - you [C] know that ghost is [G] me
And [C] I will never [G] be set free
As [Am7] long as I’m a [D] ghost that you can’t [G] see
[G] If I could read your mind love, [F] what a tale your thoughts could tell
[G] Just like a paperback novel, the [F] kind that drugstores sell
[G] When you reach the part [C] where the heartaches come
The [D] hero would be [Em] me but [C] heroes often[G] fail
And [C] you won’t read that [G] book again
[Am7] because the ending’s [D] just too hard to [G] take
[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,
and I’ve [Am7] got to say that I [D] just don’t get it
[C] I don’t know where [G] we went wrong,
But the [Am7] feeling’s gone and I [D] just can’t get it [G] back
[G] If you could read my mind love, [F] what a tale my thoughts could tell

But [C] stories always [G] end. And [C] if you read be[G]tween the lines
You’ll [Am7] know that I’m just [D] trying to under[G]stand
the [C] feelings that you [G] lack
[C] never thought I could [G] feel this way,

Hello darkness, my old friend,

I've come to talk with you a--gain,

And in the naked light I saw

Fools said I, you do not know

Silence like a cancer grows.

Hear my words that I mi--ight teach you,

But my words like silent raindrops fell,--

And echoed in the wells of silence
[Verse 5]
G
And the people bowed and prayed
Am
To the neon God they made.
C F C
And the sign flashed out it's warn--ing,
F C
In the words that it was form--ing.
F C
And the sign said, the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
Am G Am
and tenement halls. And whisper'd in the sounds **- of silence.

I used to [F] roll the [G] dice, Feel the [C] fear in my enemy's [Am] eyes
Listen as the [F] crowd would [G] sing, "Now the [C] old king is dead! Long [Am] live the king!"
One minute I [F] held the [G] key, Next the [C] walls were closed on [Am] me
And I discovered that my [F] castles [G] stand, Upon [C] pillars of salt and [Am] pillars of sand
|[Chorus]
|I [F] hear Jerusalem [G] bells are ringing, [C] Roman Cavalry [Am] choirs are singing
|[F] Be my mirror, my [G] sword, and shield, My [C] missionaries in a [Am] foreign field
|[F]For some reason I [G] can't explain, [C] Once you go there was [Am] never,
|never an [F] honest [G] word, That was [C] when I ruled the [Am] world
[Instrumental]
[F] [G] [C] [Am] x2
[Verse 3]
It was the wicked and [F] wild [G] wind, Blew down the [C] doors to let me [Am] in.
Shattered windows and the [F] sound of [G] drums,
People [C] couldn't believe what [Am] I'd become
Revolutio-[F]-naries [G] wait, For my [C] head on a silver [Am] plate
Just a puppet on a [F] lonely [G] string, Oh [C] who would ever want to be [Am] king?
|[Chorus]
|I [F] hear Jerusalem [G] bells are ringing, [C] Roman Cavalry [Am] choirs are singing
|[F] Be my mirror, my [G] sword, and shield, My [C] missionaries in a [Am] foreign field
|[F] For some reason I [G] can't explain, I [C] know Saint Peter will [Am] call my name,
|never an [F] honest [G] word, But that was [C] when I ruled the [Am] world

[Verse 1]
I've [C] been a wild rover for many a [F] year
And I [C] spent all me [G7] money on whiskey and [C] beer
But [C] now I'm returning with gold in great [F] store,
And I [C] promise to [G7] play the wild rover no [C] more
|[Chorus]
|And it's [G7] no, nay, never
|[C] No, nay, never, no [F] more,
|Will I [C] play the wild [F] rover,
|No [G7] never, no [C] more [C]
[Verse 2]
I [C] went to an ale house I used to fre-[F]quent,
And I [C] told the land[G7]lady me money’s all [C] spent,
I [C] asked her for credit, she answered me [F] "Nay...
Sure a [C] custom like [G7] yours I could get any [C] day."
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
I [C] took from my pocket 10 sovereigns [F] bright,
And the [C] landlady's [G7] eyes opened up with de-[C]light,
She [C] said, "I have whiskeys and wines of the [F] best,
And the [C] words that I [G7] told you were only in [C] jest.
[Chorus]
[Verse 4]
I'll go [C] home to my parents, confess what I've [F] done,
And I'll [C] ask them to [G7] pardon their prodigal [C] son,
And [C] if they forgive me as oft times be-[F]fore,
Then I [C] never will [G7] play the wild rover no [C] more!
