Bare Necessities[C] - Terry Golkyson
Look for the… [C] bare necessities, the [F] simple bare necessities,

that [C] brings the [Am] bare ne[Dm]cessi [G]ties of [C] life

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?

Beeswing - Christy Moore
C
I was eighteen when I came to town they called it the summer of love
C G F
Burnin' babies burnin' flags the hawks against the dove
C
I took a job at the steaming way down on Caltrim Street
C G F
Fell in love with a laundry girl that was workin' next to me
C
Brown hair zig-zagged around her face and a look of half surprise
C G F
Like a fox caught in the headlights there was animal in her eyes
C
She said to me can’t you see I’m not the factory kind
C G F
and if you don’t take me out of here I’ll lose my mind
[Chorus]
Am C
She was a rare thing fine as a bee’s wing
Am G F
So fine a breath of wind might blow her away
Am C
She was a lost child, she was runnin’ wild (she said)
Am G F
So long as theres no price on love I’ll stay
Dm G F
You wouldn’t want me any other way
[Verse 2]
C
We busked around the market towns, fruit pickin down in Kent
C G F
We could tinker pots and pans or knives wherever we went
C
We were campin down the Gower one time, the work was mighty good
C G F
She wouldn’t wait for the harvest, I thought we should
C
I said to her we’ll settle down, get a few acres dug
C G F
With a fire burning in the hearth and babbies on the rug
Am G C
She said Oh man you foolish man that surely sounds like hell
F C G F
You might be lord of half the world, you’ll not own me as well
[Chorus]
Am C
She was a rare thing fine as a bee’s wing
Am G F
So fine a breath of wind might blow her away
Am C
She was a lost child, she was runnin’ wild (she said)
Am G F
So long as theres no price on love I’ll stay
Dm G F
You wouldn’t want me any other way
[Verse 3]
C
We were drinking more in those days, our tempers reached a pitch
C G F
Like a fool I let her run away when she took the rambling itch
C
And the last I heard she was living rough, back on the Derby beat
C G F
With a bottle of White Horse in her pocket, a Wolfhound at her feet
C
And they say that she got married once to a man called Romany Brown
C G F
Even a gypsy caravan was too much like settlin’ down
Am G C
They say her rose has faded, rough weather and hard booze
F C G F
Maybe thats the price you pay for the chains that you refuse
[Chorus]
Am C
She was a rare thing fine as a bee’s wing
Am G F
and I miss her more than ever words can say
Am C
If I could just taste all her, wildness now
Am G F
If I could hold her in my arms today
Dm G F
I wouldn’t want her any other way
Dm G F
oh I wouldn’t want her any other way......

And her [C] hair hung [Em] over her [Am*] sho-[G*]-oul-[C*]-der,
Tied [Dm] up with a [G7] black velvet [C] band.
I [C] took a stroll with this pretty fair maid, and a gentleman passing us [G] by.
Well, I [C] knew she [Em] meant the [Am*] doing [G*] of [C*] him,
By the [Dm] look in her [G7] roguish black [C] eye.
A gold watch she took from his pocket, and placed it right into my [G] hand,

"Bad [Dm] ‘cess to the [G7] black velvet [C] band".
Her [C] eyes they shone like diamonds, I thought her the queen of the [G] land,
And her [C] hair hung [Em] over her [Am*] sho-[G*]-oul-[C*]-der,
Tied [Dm] up with a [G7] black velvet [C] band.
Be[C]fore the judge and the jury, next morning I had to ap-[G]pear.
And the [C] judge he [Em] says to [Am*] me, [G*] "Young [C*] Man,
The [Dm] case against you is [G7] proving [C] clear.
We’ll give you seven years penal servitude, to be spent far away from this [G] land,
Far a-[C]way from your [Em] friends and com-[Am*] pa-[G*]-ni-[C*]-ons,,
Be-[Dm]trayed by the [G7] black velvet [C] band.
Her [C] eyes they shone like diamonds, I thought her the queen of the [G] land,
And her [C] hair hung [Em] over her [Am*] sho-[G*]-oul-[C*]-der,
Tied [Dm] up with a [G7] black velvet [C] band.
So [C]come on you jolly young fellows, a warning take from [G]me
When you’re [C]out on the [Em] town me [Am*] bo-[G*]-oo-[C*]oys,
Be-[Dm] ware the[G7] pretty [C]Colleen
For they will fill you with strong drink, me lads, ‘Till you’re unable to[G] stand
And the [C] very last thing [Em] that you will [Am*]kn [G]ow is
You’re [Dm] landed in [G7] van-demons [C] land
Her [C] eyes they shone like diamonds, I thought her the queen of the [G] land,
And her [C] hair hung [Em] over her [Am*] sho-[G*]-oul-[C*]-der,
Tied [Dm] up with a [G7] black velvet [C] band.
Blanket On the Ground* - Billie Jo Spears

[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?

On that blanket on the [C] ground

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
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]
[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 [G7] blanket on the [C] ground.

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".

Intro: [C] [C] [Am] [Am] [F] [F] [G7] [G7]
[C] I remember when rock was young
me and [Am] Suzie had so much fun
Holding [F] hands and skimming stones
Had an [G7] old gold Chevy and a place of my own
But the big[C]gest kick I ever got
was doing a [Am] thing called the Crocodile Rock
While the [F] other kids were Rocking Round the Clock
We were [G7] hopping and [G7] bopping to the [G7] Crocodile [G7] Rock well
|Chorus:
|[Am] Croc rocking is something shocking when your [D7] feet just can't keep still
|[G7] I never knew me a better time and I [C] guess I never will
|[A7] Oh lawdy mama those Friday nights
|When [D7] Suzie wore her dresses tight and
|The [G7] Croc Rocking was ou.............t of [F] si.............ght
[C] Laaa la la la la la la [Am] Laaa la la la la la la
[F] Laaa la la la la la la [G7] Laaa
But the [C] years went by and the rock just died
Suzie [Am] went and left us for some foreign guy
Long [F] nights crying by the record machine
Dreaming [G7] of my Chevy and my old blue jeans
But they'll [C] never kill the thrills we've got
Burning up [Am] to the Crocodile Rock
Learning [F] fast as the weeks went past
We really [G7] thought the [G7] Crocodile [G7] Rock would [G7] last, well

[Verse 2]
[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]
|[Chorus 2]
|[C] My, my, my, De-[G]-lilah
|[G] Why, why, [G7] why, De-[C]-lilah

There's nobody cares about me

My peace is destroyed and I'm fairly annoyed

Now the boys look so bashful when they go out courtin'

They look so awfully shy

As to kiss a young maid, Sure they seem half afraid

But they would if they could on the sly
G7 C
But me, I do things in a dif--ferent way
D Dm G G7
I don't give a nod or a frown

When I goes to court, I says, Here goes for sport

I can hear the bells of Dublin
G C
in this lonely waiting room

And the paperboys are singin'

in the rain
C G C
Not too long before they take us
G C
to the airport and the noise

To get on board
C G C
a trans at--lantic plane

We've got nothin' left to stay for,

We had no more left to say
F C G
And there isn't any work for us to do
C G C
So farewell ye boys and girls;
G C
Another bloody Flight of Earls
F C G C
Our best asset is our best export, too....
F C G C
C G C
It's not murder, fear or famine
G C
that makes us leave this time
F C G
We're not going to join Mc--Alpine's Fus--ileers
C G C
We've got brains, and we've got visions;
G C
we've got edu--cation, too!
F C G C
But we just can't throw a--way these precious years
G
So we walk the streets of London,
F C
And the streets of Balti--more
F C G
And we meet at night in several Boston bars
C G C
We're the leaders of the future
G C
But we're far a--way from home
F C G C
And we dream of you be--neath the Irish stars
F C G C
C G C
As we look on El--lis Is--land,
G C
and the Lady in the bay
F C G
And Manhattan turns to face another Sunday
C G C
We just wonder what you're doing
G C
to bring us all back home
F C G C
As we look forward to a--nother Monday
G
Because it's not the work that scares us
F C
We don't mind an honest job
F C G
And we know things will get better once a--gain
C G C G C
So a thousand times adieu, We've got Bono and U2
F C G C
All we're missin' is the Guinness, and the rain
F C G C
C G C
So switch off your new computers
G C
cause the writing's on the wall
F C G
We're leaving as our fathers did be--fore
C G C
Take a look at Dublin airport,
G C
or the boat that leaves North Wall
F C G C
There'll be no Youth Unemp--loyment any more
G
Because we're over here in Queensland,
F C
And in parts of New South Wales
F C G
We're on the seas and airways and the trains
C G C
But if we see better days,
G C
Those big airplanes go both ways
F C G C F C
And we'll all be comin' back to you a--gain!

I [G] bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car

Verse 4:
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

I re--member the day, it stands clear in my mind
G F C
We stood down at Dunlaoire to wave you goodbye
C Dm
Your ma was quietly weeping, there was a tear in my eye
G G7 C
As they sent you to Gallipoli to die
C Dm
You looked so young as you stood there, a glint in your eye
G F C
And you sang rebel songs as the streamers flew high
C Dm
Your ma turned away and I heard a sigh
G G7 C
God you're sailing to Gallipoli to die
[Chorus]
C Dm
You were all that we had your mammy and me
G F C
When you marched head erect you were proud as could be
C Bb A Dm
And it killed your poor ma and it slow--ly killed me
G F C
When you were blown to kingdom come on the shores of Gallipoli
[Verse]
C Dm
We only got the one letter and we knew right away

It said deepest regrets your son was bold and he was brave
C Dm
You were only eighteen yet your mammy and I

Let you go to Gallipoli to die.

You fought for the wrong country, you died for the wrong cause

And your ma often said, that it was Ireland's great loss

All those fine young men who marched to foreign shores to fight the wars
G G7 C
When the greatest war of all was at home.

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.

Where the [F]rain came through, what can you [C]do [D]
[G]Tears from your little sister
Crying because she doesn't have a dress without a patch

It would fall through the hole in your pocket
And you'd lose it in the [F]snow on the ground
You got to walk into [C]town to find a [D]job
[G]Tryin' to keep your hands warm
When the hole in your shoe lets the snow come through
And [F]chills you to the bone
So now you'd better go [C]home where it's [D]warm
You can [G]live in the love of the [C]common people
[G]Smiles from the heart of a [D]family man
[G]Daddy's gonna buy you a [C]dream to cling to
[G]Mama's gonna love you just as [D]much as she can, and she [G]can
[G]Living on a dream ain't easy but the closer the knit the tighter the fit
And the [F]chills stay away you take 'em in [C]stride for family [D]pride
You know that [G]faith is your foundation
Whole lot of love and a warm conversation
But [F]don't forget to pray just make it [C]strong where you be[D]long
So you can [G]live in the love of the [C]common people

[C] Post office clerks put up signs saying 'Position [Am7] Closed'
[C] And secretaries turn off typewriters and put on their[Am7] coats
[F] Janitors padlock the [C] gates for [G] security guards to [F] patrol
And bachelors phone up their [C] friends for a drink
While [G] the married ones turn on a [F] chat show
And they'll [C] all be lonely to-[F]night and lonely to-[C]morrow
[C] 'Gentlemen, time please, you know we can't serve any [Am7] more'

And ignorant people [C] sleep in their beds
Like the[G] doped white mice in the [F] college lab
(Chorus)
[C] And nothing ever [F] happens, [C] nothing happens[F] at all
The [Am] needle returns to the [F] start of the song
And we [G] all sing along like [F] before
And we'll [C] all be lonely to-[F]night and lonely to-[C]morrow
[C] Telephone exchanges click while there's nobody [Am7] there
[C] The Martians could land in the car park and no one would [Am7] care
The [F] close-circuit cameras in [C] department stores
Shoot the [G] same movie every [F] day
And the stars of these films neither [C] die nor get killed
Just [G] survive constant [F] action replay

And [F] computer terminals [C] report some gains on the [G] values of copper and [F] tin,
While American businessmen [C] snap up Van Goghs for the [G] price of a hospital [F] wing

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

Of a [D7] man who sells cars [G] second hand

The [Gm] salesmen relax with a few pints of beer,
And they try not to talk about [D7] trade.
The poet won't write any verses tonight
He may sing a sweet seren[Gm]ade.
So pull up a chair and forget about life,
It's a good thing to do now and [Cm] then.
And if you like it here, I have an [Gm] idea,
[D7] Tomorrow lets all meet [G] again.

Sean South - Dubliners
Sad are the homes 'round Garryowen
Since lost their giant pride
And the banshee cry links every vale
Around the Shannon side
that city of the ancient walls
Unbroken Treaty Stone, undying fame
Surrounds your name, Sean South of Garryowen:
T'was on [C] a dreary New Year's Eve
As the [F] shades of [G] night came [C] down
A lorry load of [F] volun[C] teers
Ap[Am]proached the [F] border [G] town
There were[C] men from Dublin [F] and from [C]Cork
Fer[Am]managh [F] and Ty[G]rone
And the [C] leader was a [Am] Limerick man-
Sean [F] South from [G] Garry[C]owen
As they [C] moved along the street
Up [F] to the[G] barracks [C] door
They scorned the danger [F] they might [C] face
Their [Am] fate that [F] lay in [G] store
They were [C] fighting for old [F] Ire [C] land's
To [Am] claim their [F] very [G] own
And the [C] foremost of that [Am] gallant band
Was [F] South from [G] Garry[C]owen
But the [C] sergeant foiled their daring plan
He [F] spied them [G] through the [C] door
The Sten guns and the [F] ri-[C]-fles
A [Am] hail of [F] death did [G] pour
And [C] when that awful [F] night was [C] passed
Two men [Am] lay as [F]cold as [G] stone
There was [C] one from near the [Am] border
And [F] one from [G] Garry[C]owen
No more [C] will he hear the seagull's cry
Over the [F] murmuring [G] Shannon [C] tide
For he fell beneath a [F] northern [C] sky
Brave[Am] Hanlon [F] by his [G] side
They had [C] gone to join that [F] gallant [C] band
Of [Am] Plunkett, [F] Pearse and [G] Tone
A martyr [C] for old [Am] Ireland

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.

Sunday Morning Coming Down *[C] - Kris Krisofferson
[Verse 1]
C
Well I woke up Sunday morning
F C
with no way to hold my head, that didn't hurt
and the beer I had for breakfast
Am G
wasn't bad so I had one more for dessert
C
Then I fumble through my closet for
F C C B Am
my clothes and found my cleanest dirty shirt
F
and I shaved my face and combed my hair
Dm G
and stumbled down the stairs to meet the day
C
I'd smoked my brain the night before
F C
on cigarettes and songs that I've been pickin'
but I lit my first and watched a small kid
Am G
cussin' at a can that he was kicking
C
Then I crossed the empty street and caught
F C C B Am
the Sunday smell of someone fryin' chicken
F Dm
and it took me back to somethin' that
F G C
I'd lost somehow somewhere along the way
[Chorus]
F
On the Sunday mornin' sidewalks
C
wishing Lord that I was stoned
G
'cause there is something in a Sunday
C
that makes a body feel alone
F
And there's nothin' short of dyin'
C
half as lonesome as the sound
G
on the sleepin' city sidewalks
C
Sunday mornin' comin' down
C
In the park I saw a daddy with
F C
a laughing little girl who he was swingin'
and I stopped beside a Sunday school
Am G
and listened to the song that they were singin'
C
Then I headed back for home and
F C C B Am
somewhere far away a lonely bell was ringin'
F Dm
and it echoed thru the canyon like
F G C
the disappearing dreams of yesterday.
[Chorus]
F
On the Sunday mornin' sidewalks
C
wishing Lord that I was stoned
G
'cause there is something in a Sunday
C
that makes a body feel alone
F
And there's nothin' short of dyin'
C
half as lonesome as the sound
G
on the sleepin' city sidewalks
C
Sunday mornin' comin' down

The Ballad of Lucy Jordan * [C] - Dr Hook
C
C F C
The morning sun touched lightly on, the eyes of Lucy Jordan
G G7
In her white suburban bedroom, in a white suburban town,
C C7 F C
As she lay there beneath the covers, dreaming of a thousand lovers
G G7 C C7
Till the world turned to orange and the room went spinning round,
F C
At the age of 37, she realized she'd never ride through Paris
G Gsus4 G
In a sports car, with the warm wind in her hair
C C7 F C
And she let the phone keep ringing, as she sat there softly singing
G G7 F C C Csus4 C
Pretty nursery rhymes she'd memorized in her daddy's easy chair
C C7 F C
Her husband, he was off to work, and the kids were off to school
G G7
And there were oh so many ways for her to spend her day,
C F C
She could clean the house for hours, or rearrange the flowers
G G7 G C C7
Or run naked down the shady street screaming all the way,
F C
At the age of 37, she realized she'd never ride through Paris
G Gsus4 G
In a sports car, with the warm wind in her hair
C C7 F C
And she let the phone keep ringing, as she sat there softly singing
G G7 F C C Csus4 C
Pretty nursery rhymes she'd memorized in her daddy's easy chair
C F C
The evening sun touched gently on,the eyes of Lucy Jordan
G G7
On the rooftop where she'd climbed when all the laughter grew too loud,
C F C
And she bowed and curtseyed to the man, who reached and offered her his hand
G G7 C C7
And led her down to the long white car that waited past the crowd,
F C
At the age of 37, she knew she'd found forever as they rode along through Paris
G Gsus4 G
With the warm wind in her hair
G7 C F C
Ooooohhh yes with the wind in her hair
G7 C F C
Ooooohhh yes with the wind in her hair..

The Croppy Boy* -
[C] Good men and true in this [G7] house who dwell,
To a stranger bouchal* I [C] pray you [G7] tell
Is the [C] priest at [C7] home, or [F] may he be seen?
I would [C] speak a word with [G7] Father [C] Green."
[C] The Priest's at home, boy, and [G7] may be seen;
'Tis easy speaking with [C] Father [G7] Green.
But you [C] must [C7] wait till I [F] go and see
If the [C] Holy Father [G7] alone may [C] be."
[C] The youth he enter'd an [G7] empty hall;
What a chilling sound had his [C] light foot [G7] fall!
In a[C] gloomy [C7] chamber [F] dark and bare,
Sat a [C] vested Priest in a[G7] lonely [C] chair.
[C] The youth has knelt to [G7] tell his sins
"Nomine Dei," the [C] youth [G7] begins!
At the [C] mea [C7] culpa" he [F] beats his breast,
And in [C] broken murmers he [G7] speaks the [C] rest.
[C] At the siege of Ross did my [G7] father fall,
And at Gorey my loving [C] brothers [G7 all.
I am[C] all that is [C7] left of my [F] name and race;
I will [C] go to Wexford and [G7] take their [C] place.
[C] I cursed three times since last [G7] Easter day;
At mass time once I [C] went to [G7] play;
I [C] passed the [C7] churchyard one [F] day in haste,
And [C] forgot to pray for my [G7] poor mother's [C]rest.
[C] I bear no hate against [G7] living thing,
But I love my country [C] above the[G7] king.
So [C] bless me [C7] now Father and [F] let me go
To [C] die, if God has [G7] ordained it[C] so."
[C] The priest said nought, but a [G7] rustling noise
Made the youth look above in [C] wild sur-[G7]-prise;
The [C] robes were [C7] off, and in [F] scarlet there
Sat a [C] yoeman captain with [G7] fiery [C] glare.
[C] With fiery glare and with [G7] fury hoarse,
Instead of blessing, he [C] breathed a [G7] curse
"'Twas a [C] good [C7] thought, boy, to [F] come here to strive,
For [C] one short hour is your[G7] time to [C] live.
[C] Upon yon river three [G7] tenders float;
The Priest's in one — if he [C] isn't [G7] shot!
We [C] hold his [C7] house for our [F] Lord the King,
And, [C] amen I say, may all [G7] traitors [C] swing!"
[C] At Geneva Barracks that [G7] young man died,
And at Passage they have his[C] body[G7] laid.
Good [C] people who [C7] live in [F] peace and joy,
Breathe a [C] pray'r, shed a tear for the [G7] Croppy [C]* Boy
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.

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.

On a [C] fine spring evening, the loike lay dreaming,
And the [F] seagulls were [Am] wheeling, high [Dm] above the [F] wall,

As the [F] loike lay [Am] crying, in his [Dm] prison [F] cell,

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.

[G] Well I walked up to her
And I [D7] asked her if she wanted to [G] dance

[C] When we danced I [G] held her tight
[C] And then I walked her [G] home that night
And all the stars were [D7] shining bright and then I [G] kissed her
[G] Each time I saw her I [D7] couldn't wait to see her a[G]gain
I wanted to let her [D7] know that I was more than a [G] friend
[C] I didn't know just [G] what to do
[C] So I whispered [G] I love you
And she said that she [D7] loved me too and then I [G] kissed her
I [C] kissed her in a [C6] way
That I'd [Cmaj7] never kissed a [C6] girl be[C]fore [C6] [Cmaj7] [C6]
I [A] kissed her in a way
That I [A7] hoped she'd like for ever [D] more [D7]
I [G] knew that she was mine
So I [D7] gave her all the love that I [G] had
Then one day she'll take me [D7] home
To meet her mum and her [G] dad
[C] And then I asked her to [G] be my bride
[C] And always be right [G] by my side
I felt so happy that I [D7] almost cried and then I [G] kissed her
And then I [G] kissed her and then I [G*] kissed [G*]her

Travelin Soldier * - The Chicks

Travelling Soldier - The Chicks
[C]Two days past 18, he was waiting for the bus in his army greens
Sat [F]down at a booth in a cafe there,
Gave his [C]order to a girl with a bow in her hair
[C]He's a little shy so she gives him a smile and he said would you mind
Sittin' down for a while and [F]talking to me, I'm feeling a little [C]low
She said I'm [Bb]off in an hour and [F]I know where we can [C]go
[C]So they went down and they sat on the pier,
he said "I bet you got a boyfriend but I don't care,
I [F] got no one to send a letter [C]to.
Would you [Bb]mind if I sent [F]one back here to [C]you?"
Chorus:
[Am]I cried……..[F]Never gonna hold the hand of another [C]guy
Too young, for him they told her
[G]Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
[Am]Our love will never end
[F]Waitin' for the soldier to come back [C]again
Never more to be alone
When the [G]letter says, a soldier's coming [C]home
[C]So the letters came from an army camp, in California then Vietnam
And he [F] told her of his heart, it might be love
and [C] all of things he was so scared of
He said when it's gettin' kinda rough over here, I think of that day
Sittin' down at the pier and [F] I close my eyes and see your pretty [C]smile
Don't [Bb]worry but I won't be [F]able to write for a [C]while
Chorus:
[C]One Friday night at a football game, the Lord's Prayer said and the anthem
sang, a [F]man said folks would you bow your heads
for a [C]list of local Vietnam dead
Cryin' all alone under the stands was a piccolo player in the marching band
And [F]one name read and nobody really [C] cared
But a [Bb]pretty little girl [F]with a bow in her [C]hair
Chorus:
[Am]I cried……..[F]Never gonna hold the hand of another [C]guy
Too young, for him they told her
[G]Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
[Am]Our love will never end
[F]Waitin' for the soldier to come back [C]again

Intro: [Am]
[Verse 1]
I got [Am] chills... they’re multiplying
And I’m [F] losing [C] control
Cos the [E7] power... you’re supp[Am]lying
It’s electrifying ... ...
You better shape [C] up... cos I [G] need a man
[Am] And my heart is set on [F] you
You better shape [C] up... you better [G] understand
[Am] To my heart I must be [F] true
Nothing left, nothing left for me to do
|[Chorus]
|You’re the [C] one that I want (you are the one I want) Oo-oo-[F]oo honey
|The [C] one that I want (you are the one that I want) Oo-oo-[F]oo honey

|The one I [G] need... oh yes [G7] indeed
Instrumental:
[Am]
[Verse 2]
[Am] If you’re [Am] filled... with affection
You’re too [F] shy to [C] convey
Meditate [E7] in my [Am] direction
Feel your way ... ...
I better shape [C] up... cos you [G] need a man
[Am] Who can keep you [F] satisfied
I better shape [C] up... if I’m [G] gonna prove
[Am] That my faith is [F] justified
Are you sure? Yes I’m sure down deep inside

+ Ukes:
[Em] [C] [G] [D]
[Verse 1]
[Em] Another [C] head hangs lowly
[G] Child is slowly [D] taken
[Em] And the violence [C] caused such silence
[G] Who are we mis[D]taken?
[Pre-Chorus]
But you [Em] see... it's not me... it's not [C] my family
In your [G] head... in your head... they are [D] fighting
With their [Em] tanks... and their bombs
And their [C] bombs... and their guns
In your [G] head... in your head... they are [D] crying
|[Chorus]
|In your [Em] hea-ea-ead... in your [C] hea-ea-ead
|Zo- om[G]bie... zo-ombie... zo-om[D]bie hey hey
|What’s in your [Em] hea-ea-ead... in your [C] hea-ea-ead
|Zo- om[G]bie... zo-ombie... zo-om[D]bie hey hey hey
|[Em] Oh oh oh oh [C] oh oh oh oh
|Ay [G] ohhhh ah ah [D] aaaah
[Verse 2]
[Em] Another [C] mother's breakin'
[G] Heart is taking [D] over
[Em] When the violence [C] causes silence
[G]We must be mis[D]taken
[Pre-Chorus]
It's the [Em] same old theme... since [C] 1916
In your [G] head... in your head... they're still [D] fighting
With their [Em] tanks... and their bombs
And their [C] bombs... and their guns
In your [G] head... in your head... they are [D] dying
|[Chorus]
|In your [Em] hea-ea-ead... in your [C] hea-ea-ead
|Zo- om[G]bie... zo-ombie... zo-om[D]bie hey hey
|What’s in your [Em] hea-ea-ead... in your [C] hea-ea-ead
|Zo- om[G]bie... zo-ombie... zo-om[D]bie hey hey hey
