[C]Come and look out through the window
That big old moon is shinin'[D]down
Tell me now don't it re[G]mind you
Of the blanket on the[C]ground?

We'd go slippin' out of [D] town
And we'd love beneath the [G] moonlight
On that blanket on the [C] ground
[C]I'll take the [C7] blanket from the [F] bedroom
And we'll go walkin' once a [C] gain,
To that spot down by the [G] river
Where our sweet love first be[C] gan [C7]
[C7] Just because we are [F] married,
Don't mean we can't slip a[C]round,
So let's walk beneath the [G] moonlight
And lay the blanket on the [C] ground.
Oh! Remember how ex [C]cited
We used to get when love was [D] young,
That old moon was our best [G] buddy,
We couldn't wait for night to [C] come.
Now you know you still ex[C]cite me
I know you love me like I [D] am,
Just once more I wish you'd [G] love me
On the blanket on the [C]ground
[C] I'll take the [C7] blanket from the [F] bedroom
And we'll go walkin' once a [C] gain
To that spot down by the [G] river,
Where our sweet love first be[C]gan.[C7]

Don't mean we can't slip a[C]round,
So let's walk beneath the [G] moonlight

I [G] wish I was the brakeman, on a [F] hurtling fevered train

Count-[Am]-ing the towns flashing by, in a [C] night that's full of soul

With light in my [G] head, you in my [F] arms, [Am] woo

I will [Am*] ride on the train, and I will [C*] be the fisherman

Folsom Prison Blues ** - Johnny Cash
[Intro]

[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

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 aboard a vision, and followed with a will,
Am G Am
And I shortly came to anchor, at the cross on Spancil Hill.
Am G Am
It being the 23rd of June, the day before the fair,
C G
When Irelands' sons and daughters, in crowds assembled there,
Am C G
The young and the old, the brave and the bold, Came their duty to ful--fill
Am G Am
and the Par--ish church in Clooney a mile from Spancil hill
Am G Am
I went to see my neighbors, to hear what they might say,
C G
The old ones were all dead and gone, the young ones turning gray,
Am C G
I met with the tailor Quigley he's as bald as ever still,
Am G Am
Sure he used to make me britches when I lived in Spancil Hill.
Am G Am C G
Am G Am Am G Am
Am G Am
I paid a flying visit to my first and only love,
C G
She's as white as any lily and as gentle as a dove,
Am C G
She threw her arms around me, saying Johnny I love you still,
Am C G
Oh, she's Nell the farmers daughter and the flower of Spancil Hill.
Am G Am
I dream t I held and kissed her, as in the days of yore,
C G
She said Johnny you're only joking like many's the times before,
Am C G
The cock he crew the morning, he crew both loud and shrill,
Am G Am
And I awoke in California, many miles from Spancil Hill.

The Fields of Athenry (Maggie)[C] - The Dubliners
[Verse 1]
By the [C] lonely prison wall, I [F] heard a young girl [C] call-[G]-ing,
[C] Michael they have [F] taken you a-[G]-way,
For you [C] stole Trevelyn’s [F] corn,
So the [C] young might see the [G] morn,
Now a [Dm] prison ship lies [G7] waiting in the [C] bay.
[Chorus]
[C] Low [F] lie the [C] fields of Athen-[Am]-ry,
Where [C] once we watched the small free birds [G] fly,
Our [C] love was on the [F] wing,
We had [C] dreams and songs to [G] sing,
It's so [Dm] lonely round the [G7] fields of Athen-[C]-ry.
[Verse 2]
By the [C] lonely prison wall, I [F] heard a young man [C] call-[G]-ing,
[C] Nothing matters [F] Mary when you’re [G] free,
Against the [C] famine and the [F] Crown,
I re-[C]-belled, they cut me [G] down,
Now [Dm] you must raise our [G7] child with digni-[C]-ty.
[Chorus]
[C] Low [F] lie the [C] fields of Athen-[Am]-ry,
Where [C] once we watched the small free birds [G] fly,
Our [C] love was on the [F] wing,
We had [C] dreams and songs to [G] sing,
It's so [Dm] lonely round the [G7] fields of Athen-[C]-ry.
[Verse 3]
By the [C] lonely harbour wall, she [F] watched the last star [C] fall-[G]-ing,
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,
It's so [Dm] lonely round the [G7] fields of Athen-[C]-ry
[Chorus]
[C] Low [F] lie the [C] fields of Athen-[Am]-ry,
Where [C] once we watched the small free birds [G] fly,
Our [C] love was on the [F] wing,

The Gambler [G] - Kenny Rogers
[Intro]
[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]
[G] Ev'ry 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]
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 (2,3,4)

Whiskey In the Jar
Verse 1:
[G] As I was a goin' over the [Em] Cork and Kerry mountains
I [C] met with Captain Farrell and his [G] money he was counting
I [G] first produced my pistol and I [Em] then produced my rapier
Said [C] "Stand and deliver" for you [G] are my bold deceiver
|Chorus:
|With me [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
|
|
Verse 2:
I [G] counted out his money and it [Em] made a pretty penny
I [C] put it in me pocket and I [G] brought it home to Jenny
She [G] said and she swore that she [Em] never would deceive me
But the [C] devil take the women for they [G] never can be easy
Chorus:
Verse 3:
I [G] went into my chamber, all [Em] for to take a slumber
I [C] dreamt of gold and jewels and for [G] sure it was no wonder
But [G] Jenny drew me charges and she [Em] filled them up with water
Then [C] sent for captain Farrell to be [G] ready for the slaughter.
|Chorus:
|With me [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

It was [G] early in the morning, just be[Em]fore I rose to travel
The [C] guards were all around me and [G] likewise Captain Farrell
I [G] first produced me pistol for she [Em] stole away me rapier
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 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] drinking and the roving,

But [G] I take delight in the [Em] juice of the barley,
and [C] courting pretty Jenny in the [G] morning bright and early.
|Chorus:
