9 to 5 [D] - Dolly Parton
Intro:
[D] [D]
[Verse 1]
[D] Tumble out of bed and I stumble to the kitchen
[G] Pour myself a cup of ambition
And [D] yawn and stretch and try to come to life [A7].
[D] Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumping
[G] Out on the street the traffic starts jumping
With [D] folks like me on the [A] job from [D] 9 to 5 [D*]
|Chorus:
|[NC] Working [G] 9 to 5, what a way to make a living
|Barely [D] getting by, it’s all taking and no giving
|They just [G] use your mind and they never give you credit
|It’s [E7] enough to drive you [A] crazy if you let it
[G] 9 to 5, for service and devotion
You would [D] think that I would deserve a fair promotion
Want to [G] move ahead but the boss won’t seem to let me
I [E7] swear sometimes, that man is [A] out to get me
[Bass Riff]
[D] [D]
[Verse 2]
They [D] let you dream just to watch them shatter
You’re [G] just a step on the boss man’s ladder
But [D] you’ve got dreams he’ll never take away [A7]
[D] You’re in the same boat with a lot of your friends
[G] Waiting for the day your ship’ll come in
The [D] tides gonna turn and it’s [A] all gonna [D] roll your way [D*]
|Chorus:
|[NC] Working [G] 9 to 5, what a way to make a living
|Barely [D] getting by, it’s all taking and no giving
|They just [G] use your mind and you never get the credit
|It’s [E7] enough to drive you [A] crazy if you let it
[G] 9 to 5, yeah they’ve got you where they want you
There’s a [D] better life, and you think about it don’t you
It’s a [G] rich man’s game, no matter what they call it
And you [E7] spend your life putting [A] money in his pocket
|[Chorus]
|[G] 9 to 5, what a way to make a living
|Barely [D] getting by, it’s all taking and no giving
|They just [G] use your mind and then they never give you credit
|It’s [E7] enough to drive you [A] crazy if you let it

Coward Of The County - Kenny Rogers
Intro: [A] [A]
Verse 1:
A D A
Everyone considered him the coward of the county
E7
He'd never stood one single time to prove the county wrong.
A D A
His mama named him Tommy, but folks just called him yellow,
E7 A
Something always told me they were reading Tommy wrong.
Verse 2:
A D A
He was only ten years old when his daddy died in prison;
E7
I took care of Tommy, 'cause he was my brother's son.
A D A
I still recall the final words my brother said to Tommy,
E7 A
"Son my life is over, but yours has just begun".
|Chorus:
|A D A
| "Promise me, son, not to do the things I've done
|D A E7
| Walk away from trouble if you can.
|A D A
| It won't mean you're weak if you turn the other cheek
|A D E7
| I hope you're old enough to understand,
|E7 A
| Son, you don't have to fight to be a man."
Verse 3:
A D A
There's someone for everyone, and Tommy's love was Becky.
A E7
In her arms he didn't have to prove he was a man.
A D A
One day while he was working, the Gatlin boys came calling
E7 A
They took turns at Becky, (n' there was three of them).
Verse 4:
A D
Tommy opened up the door, and saw Becky crying. [A]
E7
The torn dress, the shattered look was more than he could stand.
A D A
He reached above the fireplace, and took down his daddy's picture.
E7 A
As the tears fell on his daddy's face, he heard these words again
[Chorus]
Verse 5:
A D A
The Gatlin boys just laughed at him when he walked into the barroom;
E7
One of them got up and met him half way cross the floor.
A D A
When Tommy turned around they said, "Hey look! old yeller's leaving,"
E7 A
But you could've heard a pin drop when Tommy stopped and locked the door.
Verse 6:
A D A
Twenty years of crawling were bottled up inside him.
E7
He wasn't holding nothing back - he let 'em have it all.
A D A
When Tommy left the bar room, not a Gatlin boy was standing.
A E7 A
He said, "This one's for Becky, as he watched the last one fall. (And I heard him say,)
|Chorus:
|A D A
| "I promised you, Dad, not to do the things you've done
|D A E7
| I walk away from trouble when I can
| A D A
|Now please don't think I'm weak, I didn't turn the other cheek,
|A D E7
| And papa, I sure hope you understand
| E7 A
|Sometimes you gotta fight when you're a man".
Outro:
[A] Everyone considered him the [D*] coward of the [A*] county.

Learning [F] fast as the weeks went past
We really [G7] thought the [G7] Crocodile [G7] Rock would [G7] last, well

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,
All I could [Am] think of [F] was the[G] Galway [C] shawl.
[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.
I played the [C] Blackbird and The Stack Of [Em] Barley,
Rodney's [Am] Glory, and the [Dm] Foggy [F] Dew;
She sang each [C] note like an Irish [Em] linnet,
And the tears they [Am] flowed [F] in her [G] eyes of [C] blue.
'Twas early [C] early, all in the [Em] morning
I hit the [Am] road for [Dm] old Done-[F]-gal
She said Good-[C]-bye, sir, she cried and kissed [Em] me,
And my heart re-[Am]-mained with [F] the [G] Galway [C] shawl.

C G
A lifeboat answered the call
D G B7 Em
They pitched and they tossed, 'til we thought they were lost
A D
As we watched from the harbour wall
[VERSE 2]

Though the night was pitch black, there was no turning back
C B
For someone was waiting out there
C G Em
And each volunteer had to live with his fear
As they [A]joined in a silent [D]prayer
[CHORUS]
Carry us [G]home, home, [C] home from the [G] sea
C G Am D
Angels of mercy, answer our plea
G C G
And carry us home, home, home from the sea
C G Am D G C G D G
Carry us safely, home from the sea
[VERSE 3]
As they [G]battled their way past the mouth of the bay
C G
It was blowing like never before
D G B7 Em
As they gallantly fought, every one of them thought
A D
Of loved ones back on the shore
[VERSE 4]
G
Then a flicker of light and they knew they were right
C B
There she was on the crest of a wave
C G Em
She's an old fishing boat, and she's barely afloat
"Please [A] God, there are souls we can [D] save!"

Carry them [G]home, home, [C] home from the [G] sea

Angels of mercy, answer our plea

Carry us safely, home from the sea
[VERSE 5]
And back in the town, in a street that runs down
C G
To the sea and the harbour wall
D G B7 Em
They had gathered in pairs at the foot of the stairs
A D
To wait for the radio call
[VERSE 6]
G
And just before dawn, when all hope was gone
C B
Came a hush and a faraway sound
C G Em
'Twas the cox'n he roared, "All survivors on board!"
Thank [A] God and we're homeward [D] bound

I’m Yours
Jason Mraz

Well [C]you done done me and you bet I felt it
I [G]tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
I [Am]fell right through the cracks... now I'm [F]trying to get back
Before the [C]cool done run out I'll be giving it my bestest
And [G]nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention
I [Am]reckon it's again my turn... to [F]win some or learn some

I've been spending [C]way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And [G]bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my [Am]breath fogged up the glass... and so I [F]drew a new face and I laughed
I [C]guess what I'll be saying is there ain't no better reasons
To [G]rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons
It's [Am]what we aim to do... our [F]name is our virtue
But [C]I... won't... he-si[G]tate no... more
No... [Am]more... it... can-not [F]wait... I'm yours

Open up your plans and damn you're [Am]free
Look into your heart and you'll find that... [F] the sky is yours
So [C]please don't, please don't, please don't... there's no [G]ne-ed to complicate
Cause our [Am]time is short... this is our, this is our [F]fate... I'm yours

Me and Bobby McGee - Kris Kristofferson
Verse 1:
[A] Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headin’ for the trains
feelin’ nearly faded as my [E7] jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down, just before it rained
Took us all the way to New Or [A] leans
I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
And was blowin’ sad while Bobby sung the [D] blues,
With them windshield wipers slapping time,
and [A] Bobby clapping hands with mine
We [E7] sang every song that driver [A] knew
|Chorus:
|[D] Freedom’s just another word for [A] nothing left to lose
|[E7] Nothin’ ain’t worth nothin’, but it’s [A] free
|[D] Feeling good was easy, Lord, when [A] Bobby sang the blues
|[E7] Feeling good was good enough for me,
|good enough for me and bobby Mc [A] Gee.
Verse 2:
From the [A] coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun
Bobby shared the secrets of my [E7] soul
Standin’ right beside me, Lord, through everything I’d done
Every night she kept me from the [A] cold
Then somewhere near Selinas Lord, I let her slip away
Lookin’ for the home I hope she’ll [D] find
But I’d trade all my tomorrows for a [A] single yesterday
[E7] holdin’ Bobby’s body next to [A] mine
|Chorus:
|[D] Freedom’s just another word for [A] nothing left to lose
|[E7] Nothin’ left is all she left for [A] me
|[D] Feeling good was easy, Lord, when [A] Bobby sang the blues
|[E7] Buddy that was good enough for me,
|good enough for me and bobby Mc [A] Gee.

Oh, [C] Mary this London's a [F] wonderful sight
Where the [G] people are workin' by [F] day and by [C] night
They don't sow potatoes, nor [F] barley, nor wheat
But there's [G] gangs of them diggin' for [F] gold in the [C] street
At [G] least when I asked them that's [C] what I was told
So I just took a hand at this [F] diggin’ for [G] gold
But for [C] all that I found there I [F] might as well be
Where the [G] Mountains of Mourne sweep [F] down to the [C] sea
I believe that when writin' a [F] wish you expressed
As to [G] how the fine ladies in [F] London were [C] dressed
Well, if you'll believe me, when [F] asked to a ball
They [G] don’t wear no top to their [F] dresses at [C] all
Oh, I've [G] seen them myself and you [F] could not in [C] truth
Say if they were bound for a [F] ball or a [G] bath
Don't be [C] startin’ them fashions, now [F] Mary McCree
Where the [G] Mountains of Mourne sweep [F]down to the [C] sea
You remember young Peter O’[F] Loughlin of course
Well, [G] now he is here at the [F] head of the [C] force
I met him today, I was [F] crossing the Strand
And he [G] stopped the whole street with one [F] wave of his [C] hand
And [G] there we stood talking of [F] days that are [C] gone
While the whole population of [F] London looked [G] on
But for [C] all these great powers, he's [F] wishful, like me
To be [G] back where the dark Mourne sweeps [F] down to the [C] sea
[Outro - Slower]
But for [C] all these great powers, he's [F] wishful, like me
To be [G] back where the dark Mourne sweeps [F] down to the [C] sea

Hello darkness, my old friend,

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

In restless dreams I walked a--lone

Narrow streets of cobble--stone,

I turned my collar to the cold and damp

When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light

That split the night - and touched the sound of silence.

And in the naked light I saw

Ten thousand people, maybe more.

Fools said I, you do not know

Silence like a cancer grows.

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

Take my arms that I mi--ight reach 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.

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

and tenement halls. And whisper'd in the sounds **- of silence.

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.

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.

[A] [A] [A] [A]
[Verse 1]
Well [A]since the last song I've had time to think it over
A lot of [A]tears, a lot a beer, a lot of [E7]wine
I spent [E7]so much time believing that that midnight phone stopped ringing
But he'd [E7]leave the room and answer every [A]time
[Verse 2]
Well it [A]didn't seem so easy with that broken glass in pieces
And you [A]holding me and saying you were [D]wrong
Well I'm [E7]tired of second chances, and these sad ass circumstances
He's [E7]your problem good luck keeping him [A]home
|[Chorus]
|Oh Jo[D]lene, you can have him cause he don't mean much to [A]me
|Well, I [E7]cried so much two rivers turned to [A]seas
|Oh Jo[D]lene, when you think that he's in love, he'll surely [A]leave
|Like he did [E7]me
|You [D]can have [E7]him Jo[A]lene
[Verse 3]
Well I [A]fixed my crowns from leaning and those wedding bells stopped ringing
I [A]took my keys and threw him out his [D]door
Well I [D]found a man who loves me and he'll [A]give me all I need
What a [E7]woman could ask for any[A]more

You Never Can Tell
Chuck Berry
[Intro]
[C]
[Verse 1]
[C] It was a teenage wedding, and the old folks wished them well.
You could see that Pierre did truly love the mademoi[G7]selle.
And now the young monsieur and madam have rung the chapel bell,
'C'est la vie', say the old folks, it goes to show you never can [C] tell. [G7]
[Verse 2]
[C] They furnished off an apartment with a two room Roebuck sale.
The coolerator was crammed with TV dinners and ginger [G7] ale.
But when Pierre found work, the little money comin' worked out well.
'C'est la vie', say the old folks, it goes to show you never can [C] tell. [G7]
[Verse 3]
[C] They had a hi-fi phono, oh boy, did they let it blast.
Seven hundred little records, all rock, rhythm and [G7] jazz.
But when the sun went down, the rapid tempo of the music fell.
'C'est la vie', say the old folks, it goes to show you never can [C] tell. [G7]
[Verse 4]
[C] They bought a souped-up jitney, 'twas a cherry red '53.
They drove it down New Orleans to celebrate their anniversa[G7]ry.
It was there that Pierre was married to the lovely mademoiselle.
C'est la vie', say the old folks, it goes to show you never can [C] tell [G7]
[Instrumental Verse]
[Verse 5]
[C] They had a teenage wedding, and the old folks wished them well.
You could see that Pierre did truly love the mademoi[G7]selle.
And now the young monsieur and madam have rung the chapel bell,
