Delilah [Am] - Tom Jones

[Am] I saw the light on the night that I passed by her [E7] window
[Am] I saw the flickering shadows of love on her [E7] blind
[A] She [A7] was my [Dm] woman

[C] My, my, my, De-[G]-lilah
[G] Why, why, [G7] why, De-[C]-lilah
[C] I could [C7] see that [F] girl was no good for [Dm] me
[C] But I was lost like a [G*] slave that no one could [C] free [E7]
[Am] At break of day when that man drove away I was [E7] waiting
[Am] I crossed the street to her house and she opened the [E7] door
[A] She [A7] stood there [Dm] laughing
[Am] I felt the knife in my [E7*] hand,
and she laughed no [Am] more [G7]
[C] My, my, my, De-[G]-lilah
[G] Why, why, [G7] why, De-[C]-lilah
[C] So be-[C7]-fore they [F] come to break down the [Dm] door
[C] Forgive me, Delilah, I [G] just couldn't take any [C] more [E7]
[Am] [E7]
[Am] [E7]

[G] Why, why, [G7] why, De-[C]-lilah
[C] So be-[C7]-fore they [F] come to break down the [Dm] door

Folsom Prison Blues
Johnny Cash
[G]
I [G]hear the train a comin’... it's rolling round the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine since... [G7] I don't know when
I'm [C]stuck in Folsom prison... and time keeps draggin’ [G]on
But that [D7]train keeps a rollin’... on down to San An[G]ton
When [G]I was just a baby... my mama told me son (son)
Always be a good boy... don't [G7]ever play with guns
But I [C]shot a man in Reno... just to watch him [G]die
When I [D7]hear that whistle blowin’... I hang my head and [G]cry
I [G]bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car
They're probably drinkin’ coffee... and [G7]smoking big cigars
Well I [C]know I had it coming... I know I can't be [G]free
But those [D7]people keep a-movin’... and that's what tortures [G]me
Well if they'd [G]free me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move it on a little [G7]farther down the line
[C]Far from Folsom prison... that's where I want to [G]stay
And I'd [D7]let that lonesome whistle... blow my blues a[G]way

Santa B Goode
Chuck Berry
Deep [A] down in Louisiana close to New Orleans
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens

|[A] Go go.....go Santa go go go
|Go Santa go go go [D]
|[D] Go Santa go go [A] go
|[A] Go Santa go go [E7] go.....Santa B. [A] Goode...
He used to [A] put his UKULELE in a gunny sack and
go sit beneath a tree by the railroad track.
An [D] engineers could see him sitting in the shade
[A] strummin’ to the rhythm that the drivers made
[E7] People passing by... they would stop and say
Oh [A] my but that little country boy can play.
Chorus:
His [A] mother told him “someday you will be a man”
And you will be the leader of a Christmas Band
[D] Many, many people come from miles around to
[A] hear your UKULELE till the sun go down
[E7] Maybe someday your name will be in lights
Sayin’ [A] ‘Santa B. Goode tonight’.

You Are My Sunshine
The other [G]night dear... as I lay dreaming I dreamt that [C]you were by my [G]side
Came disi[C]llusion... when I a[G]woke, dear
You were gone, and [D7]then I [G]cried [pause]
|Chorus:
|You are my [G]sunshine... my only sunshine
|You make me [C]happy... when skies are [G]grey
|You’ll never [C]know dear... how much I [G]love you
|Please don’t take... my [D7]sunshine a[G]way
You told me [G]once dear... there’d be no other
And no-one [C]else could come be[G]tween
But now you’ve [C]left me... to love an[G]other
You have broken [D7]all my [G]dreams
Chorus:
I’ll always [G]love you... and make you happy
If you will [C]only do the [G]same
But if you [C]leave me... how it will [G]grieve me
Never more I’ll [D7]breathe your [G]name
Chorus:
