Bare Necessities[C] - Terry Golkyson
Look for the… [C] bare necessities, the [F] simple bare necessities,
[C] Forget about your [A] worries and your [Dm] strife [G]
I mean the [C] bare necessities, old [F] Mother Nature's recipes,
that [C] brings the [Am] bare ne[Dm]cessi [G]ties of [C] life
Wherever I [G] wander, wherever I [C] roam,
I couldn't be [G] fonder of my big [C] home [C7]
The bees are [F] buzzin' in the [Dm] tree,
To make some [C] honey just for [Am] me
When [D] you look under the [D7] rocks and plants,
and [G] take a glance at the [G7] fancy ants,
Then [C] maybe try a [A] few
The bare ne[Dm]cessities of [G] life will come to [C] you,

Look for the… [C] bare necessities, the [F] simple bare necessities,

I mean the [C] bare necessities, that's [F] why a bear can rest at ease
With [C] just the [Am] bare ne[Dm]cessi [G]ties of [C] life
Now when you pick a [G] pawpaw, or a prickly [C] pear,
And you prick a [G] raw paw, the next time [C] beware [C7]
Don't pick the [F] prickly pear by the [Dm] paw,
When you pick a [C] pear, try to use the [Am] claw.
But [D] you don't need to [D7] use the claw
When [G] you pick a pear of the [G7] big pawpaw [C]
Have I given you a [A] clue?
The bare ne[Dm]cessities of [G] life will come to [C] you,
[Dm] they'll come [G] to [C] you!
Look for the… [C] bare necessities, the [F] simple bare necessities,

Galway Shawl * - Artist
In Oran-[C]-more in the County Gal-[Em]-way,
One pleasant even-[Am]-ing in the [Dm] month of [F] May;
I spied a [C] damsel, she was young and [Em] handsome,
Her beauty [Am] fairly [F] took my [G] breath [C] away.
[Chorus]
|[NC] She wore no [C] jewels, no costly [Em] diamonds,
|No paint no [Am] powder, no [Dm] none at [F] all;
|She wore a [C] bonnet with ribbons on [Em] it,
|And 'round her [Am] shoulder [F] was a [G] Galway [C] shawl.
We kept on [C] walking, she kept on [Em] talking
Till her father's [Am] cottage came [Dm] into [F] view
She said Come [C] in, sir, and meet my [Em] father,
And play to [Am] please him [F] The [G] Foggy [C] Dew.
She sat me [C] down beside the [Em] fire,
I could see her [Am] father, he was [Dm] six feet [F] tall;
And soon her [C] mother had the kettle [Em] singing,

And they all soon forget who they [D7] are
The cares of today are soon washed away
As they sit on a stool by the [Gm] bar.

The man at the end is a [Gm] very good friend
Of a [D7] man who sells cars [G] second hand

And they try not to talk about [D7] trade.

He may sing a sweet seren[Gm]ade.

Sound Of Silence * - Simon & Gurfunkal
Am G
Hello darkness, my old friend,
Am
I've come to talk with you a--gain,
C F C
Because a vision softly is creep--ing,
F C
Left its seeds while I wa--as sleep--ing,
F C
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Am G Am
Still re--mains within the sound of silence.
[Verse 2]
G
In restless dreams I walked a--lone
Am
Narrow streets of cobble--stone,
C F C
'neath the halo of a street lamp,
F C
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
F C
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
Am G Am
That split the night - and touched the sound of silence.
[Verse 3]
G
And in the naked light I saw
Am
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
C F C
People talking with--out speak--ing,
F C
People hearing with--out listening,
F C
People writing songs that voices never share
Am G Am
And no one dare,- disturb the sound of silence.
[Verse 4]
G
Fools said I, you do not know
Am
Silence like a cancer grows.
C F C
Hear my words that I mi--ight teach you,
F C
Take my arms that I mi--ight reach you.
F C Am
But my words like silent raindrops fell,--
G Am
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.

The Gambler - Kenny Rogers
[intro]
[C]
On a [C] warm summer's evenin' on a [F] train bound for [C] nowhere,
I met up with the gambler; we were both too tired to [G7] sleep.
So [C] we took turns a starin' out the [F] window at the [C] darkness
'til [F] boredom over [C] took us, and [G7] he began to [C] speak.
He said, [C] "Son, I've made a life out of [F] readin' people's [C] faces,
and knowin' what their cards were by the way they held their [G7] eyes.
And if [C] you don't mind my sayin', I can [F] see you're out of [C] aces.
For a [F] taste of your [C] whiskey I'll [G7] give you some [C] advice."
So I [C] handed him my bottle
and he [F] drank down my last [C] swallow.
Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a [G7] light.
And the [C] night got deathly quiet,
and his [F] face lost all ex[C]pression.
Said, "If you're [F] gonna play the [C] game, boy,
ya gotta [G7] learn to play it [C] right.
You got to [C] know when to hold 'em, [F] know when to [C] fold 'em,
[F] know when to [C] walk away and know when to [G7] run.
You never [C] count your money when you're [F] sittin' at the [C] table.
There'll be [F] time enough for [C] countin' [G7] when the dealin's [C] done.
[C] Ev'ry gambler knows that the [F] secret to surv[C]ivin'
is knowin' what to throw away and knowing what to [G7] keep.
'Cause [C] ev'ry hand's a winner and [F] ev'ry hand's a [C] loser,
and the [F] best that you can [C] hope for is to [G7] die in your [C] sleep."
And [C] when he'd finished speakin', he [F] turned back towards the [C] window,
crushed out his cigarette and faded off to [G7] sleep.
And [C] somewhere in the darkness the [F] gambler, he broke [C] even.
But [F] in his final [C] words I found an [G7] ace that I could [C] keep.
You got to [C] know when to hold 'em, [F] know when to [C] fold 'em,
[F] know when to [C] walk away and know when to [G7] run.
You never [C] count your money when you're [F] sittin' at the [C] table.
There'll be [F] time enough for [C] countin' [G7] when the dealin's [C] done.
Repeat Chorus Scratching only:
You got to [C] know when to hold 'em, [F] know when to [C] fold 'em,
[F] know when to [C] walk away and know when to [G7] run.
You never [C] count your money when you're [F] sittin' at the [C] table.
There'll be [F] time enough for [C] countin' [G7] when the dealin's [C] done.
You got to [C] know when to hold 'em, [F] know when to [C] fold 'em,

The Town I Loved So Well - Phil Coulter
[G] In my memo-[D]-ry I will [C] always [G] see.
The [C] town that [G] I have loved so [D] well
Where our [G] school played [D] ball by the [C]gas-yard [G] wall
And we [C] laughed through the [G] smoke [D] and the [G] smell.
Going [Em] home in the [D] rain running [G] up the dark [C]lane,
Past the jail and [A7] down beside the [D] fountain
Those were [G] happy [D] days in so [C] many many [G] ways,
In the [C] town I [G] loved [D] so [G] well.
In the [G] early [D] morning the [C] shirt factory [G] horn
Called [C] women from [G] Creggan, the Moor and the [D] Bog
While the [G] men on the [D] dole played a [C] mother’s [G] role
Fed the [C] children and [G] then [D] walked the [G] dog
And when [Em] times got [D] rough, there was [G] just about e-[C]-nough
But they saw it through [A7] without com-[D]-plaining
For [G] deep in[D]side was a [C]burning [G] pride,
In the [C] town I [G] loved [D]so [G] well.
There was [G] music [D] there in the [C] Derry [G] air,
Like a [C]language that [G] we could all under-[D]-stand
I [G] remember the [D] day when I [C] earned my first [G] pay,
as I [C] played in a [G] small [D] pickup [G] band
There I [Em] spent my [D] youth and to [G] tell you the [C] truth,
I was sad to leave it [A7] all be [D]-hind me
For I'd [G] learned about [D] life and I'd [C]found a [G] wife,
In the [C] town I [G] loved [D] so [G] well.
But when [G] I re-[D]-turned how my [C] eyes were [G] burned
To [C] see how a [G] town could be brought to it's[D] knees
By the [G] armoured [D] cars and the [C] bombed out [G] bars
And the [C] gas that hangs [G] on to ev-[D]-ery [G] breeze
Now the [Em] army's in-[D]-stalled by that [G] old gas-yard [C]wall
And the damned barbed wire gets [A7] higher [D] and higher
With their [G] tanks and [D] guns, Oh my [C] God, what have they [G] done
To the [C] town I [G] loved [D] so [G] well.
Now the [G] music's [D] gone but they [C]carry [G] on
For their [C] spirit's been [G] bruised, never bro-[D]-ken
Oh, they'll [G] not for-[D]-get still their [C]hearts are [G] set
On to-[C]-morrow and [G] peace [D] once [G] again
Now what's [Em] done is [D] done and what's [G] won is [C]won
And what's lost is lost and [A7] gone for-[D]-ever
I can [G] only [D] pray for a [C] bright brand new [G] day
In the [C] town I [G] loved [D] so [G] well.
(Slowly)
In the [C] town I [G] loved [D] so [G] well.
