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,

The bare ne[Dm]cessities of [G] life will come to [C] you,

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?

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,
[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.

The Mountains of Mourne [C]
Verse 1:
Oh, [C] Mary, this [C7] London's a [F]wonderful [Dm] sight
With the [G7] people here working by [F] day and by [C] night
They [C] don't sow pot[C7]atoes, nor [F] barley nor [Dm] wheat
But there's[G7] gangs of them digging for [F] gold in the [C] street
At [G7] least when I asked them that's [C] what I was told
So I [C] just took a [Am] hand at this [Dm] diggin' for [G7] gold
But for [C] all that I [C7] found there I [F] might as well [Dm] be
Where the [G7]Mountains of Mourne sweep [F] down to the [C]sea.
Verse 2:
I be[C]lieve that when [C7]writin' a [F]wish you ex [Dm]pressed
As to [G7] how the fine ladies in [F] London were [C] dressed
Well, [C] if you be [C7]lieve me, when [F]asked to a [Dm] ball
Faith, they [G7] don't wear no top to their [C] dresses at all.
Oh, I've [G7] seen them myself and you [C] could not in trath
Say [C] if they were [Am] bound for a [Dm] ball or a [G7] bath
Don't be [C] startin' them [C7] fashions now, [F] Mary Ma [Dm]cree,
Where the [G7] mountains of Mourne sweep [F] down to the [C]sea.
Verse 3:
You rem[C]ember young [C7]Peter O'[F]Loughlin, of [Dm]course
Well, he's [G7] over here now at the [F] head of the [C] force
I [C] met him to[C7]day, I was [F] crossing the [Dm] Strand
And he [G7] stopped the whole street with a [C] wave of his hand
And [G7] as we were talkin' of [C] days that are gone
The [C] whole popu[Am] lation of [Dm] London looked [G7] on
But for [C] all these [C7] great powers he's [F] wishful like [Dm] me
To be [G7] back where the dark Mourne sweeps [F] down to the [C] sea.
Verse 4:
There's [C] beautiful [C7] girls here, oh, [F]never you [Dm]mind
With [G7]beautiful shapes nature [F] never designed
And [C] lovely comp[C7]lexions all [F]roses and [Dm] cream
But O'[G7]Loughlin remarked with re[C]gard to the same
That [G7] if at those roses you [C] venture to sip
The [C] colours might [Am] all come away on your [G7] lip
So I'll [C] wait for the [C7] wild rose that's [F] waitin' for [Dm]me
Where the [G7] Mountains of Mourne sweep [F] down to the [C]sea.
Slowing Up:
Where the [G7] Mountains of Mourne sweep [F] down to the [C] sea.
The Ould Triangle
A [C] hungry feeling came o’er me stealing,
And the[F] mice were[Am] squealing in my [Dm] prison [F] cell,
Chorus:
And the ould tri[C]angle went jingle jangle,
All [F] along the[Am] banks of the[G] Royal Ca[C]nal.
To [C] start the morning, the warden bawling,
Get [F] out of [Am] bed you, and clean [Dm] out your [F] cell,
Chorus:
Oh the [C] screw was peeping,and the loike was sleeping,
As [F] he lay [Am] weeping for [Dm] his girl [F] Sal.
Chorus:
On a [C] fine spring evening, the loike lay dreaming,
And the [F] seagulls were [Am] wheeling, high [Dm] above the [F] wall,
Chorus:
Oh the [C] wind was sighing, and the day was dying,
As the [F] loike lay [Am] crying, in his [Dm] prison [F] cell,
Chorus:
In the [C] woman's prison there are seventy women,
And I [F] wish it was [Am] with them, that [Dm] I did [F] dwell.

The Rose
Bette Midler
Some say [C] love it is a [G7] river
That [F]drowns the [G] tender [C] reed
Some say [C] love it is a [G7] razor
That [F] leads your [G] soul to [C] bleed
Some say [Em7] love it is a [Am] hunger [Am7]
An [F] endless aching [G7] need
I say [C] love it is a [G7] flower
And [F] you, [G7] its only [C] seed
It's the [C] heart afraid of [G7] breaking
That [F] never [G7] learns to [C] dance
It's the [C] dream afraid of [G7] waking
That [F] never [G7] takes a [C] chance
It's the [Em7] one who won't be [Am] taken [Am7]
Who [F] cannot seem to [G7] give
And the [C] soul afraid of [G7] dying
That [F] never [G7] learns to [C] live
When the [C] night has been too [G7] lonely
And the [F] road has [G7] been too [C] long
And you [C] think that love is [G7] only
For the [F] lucky [G7] and the [C] strong
Just re[Em7]member in the [Am] winter [Am7]
Far be[F]neath the bitter [G7] snow
Lies the [C] seed that with the [G7] sun's love
In the [F] spring [G7] becomes the [C] rose
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.

This ole [C] house is a-gettin' [C7]shaky, this ole [F] house is a-gettin' old;
This ole [G7] house lets in the rain, this ole [C] house lets in the cold.
Oh, my [C] knees are a-gettin' [C7] shaky, but I [F] feel no fear nor pain,
'Cause I [G7] see an angel peekin' through a broken window [C] pane.
