Intro: [Bb] [C] x3
Verse 1:
[C] The sirens are screaming and the [F] fires are howling, way [C] down in the valley tonight.
There’s a man in the shadows [Em] with a gun in his eye, and a [F] blade shining, oh, so bright.
There’s [C] evil in the air and there’s [G] thunder in the sky, And a [Am] killer’s on the
bloodshot [F] streets. [F] Oh, and [C] down in the tunnel where the [G] deadly are rising,
Oh, I [Dm] swear I saw a young boy, Down in the gutter, He was [F] starting to foam in the heat.
[G] [F] [G] [F]
|[Pre-Chorus], [Chorus] & [Post-Chorus]
|Oh, [F] Baby you’re the only thing in this [G] whole world, that’s [C] pure and good and [F] right,
|And wher[F]ever you are and wh[G]erever you go, there’s [F]always gonna [G] be some[C] light.
|But I [F] gotta get out, I gotta [G] break it out now, Be[Am]fore the final crack of [F] dawn. [F]
|So we [C] gotta make the most of our [G] one night together,
|When it’s [F] over, you know, we’ll both be so alone. [G] [F/G] [G] [F/G]

|Like a [C]bat out of hell, I’ll [F] be gone when the morning [C] comes. When the [C] night is over,
|Like [Em] a bat out of hell [F] I’ll be [Am7] gone, [Dm]gone, gone. Like a [C] bat out of hell
|I’ll [G] be gone when the morning [F] comes. But when the [C] day is done, and the[G] sun goes
|down, And the [F]moonlight’s [Dm] shi[Am7]ning through [Em] [F] [G]
|
|Then like a [C] sinner [G6] before the [Am] gates of [G] heaven
|I’ll come [F]crawling home [G] back to you. [Am]
[Verse 2]
I’m [C] gonna hit the highway [F] like a battering ram, on a [C] silver black phantom bike,
When the [C]metal is hot and [Em] the engine is hungry, and we’re [F] all about to see the light.
[C]Nothing ever grows in [G] this rotten old hole, [Am] everything is stunted and [F] lost.
And [C]nothing really rocks, and [G] nothing really rolls, and [F]nothing’s ever [G]worth the [C] cost.
And I [F] know that I’m [G] damned if I [C] never get out, and [F] maybe I’m [G] damned if I [C] do,
But with [F] every other [G] beat I got [Am] left in my heart, You know I’d [F] rather [G] be damned
with [C] you. Well, if I [C] gotta be damned, you know [G] I wanna be damned, [F]Dancing through
the [G] night with [C] you.
If I [C] gotta be damned, you know I [G] wanna be damned.
[C] Gotta be damned, you know, I [F] wanna be damned,
[C] Gotta be damned, you know, I [G] wanna be damned,
[F] Dancing through the [G] night [F], dancing through the [G] night,
[F] Dancing through the [G] night with [C] you.

[Verse 3]
Oh I can [C] see myself tearing up the road, faster than any other boy has ever [G] gone.
And my [C] skin is raw but my soul is ripe, and no one’s gonna stop me now, I gotta make
my [G] escape. But I [Bb] can’t stop [F] thinking of [G] you, and I [Bb] never see the
sudden [F] curve until its way too [G] late.
[D] [A] [D] [A] [D] [A] [D] [A]
Bridge:
And I [Bb] never see the sudden [F] curve until its way too [G] late. Then I’m [F] dying at the
bottom of a [G] pit in the blazing [Am] sun, [F]torn and twisted at the [G] foot of a
burning [Am] bike. And I [Bb] think somebody some[C]where must be tolling a [Am] bell,
And the [Bb] last thing I see [C] is my [Am] heart still [Bb]beating, still beating,
But breaking [A] out of my body and flying away [A],

Gloria Gaynor
Intro - tremolo:
At [Am] first I was afraid I was [Dm] petrified
Kept thinkin' [G] I could never live without you [C] by my side
But then I [Am] spent so many nights, thinkin'
[Dm] How you did me wrong... and I grew [E7] strong... and I learned
[E7] how to get along
Verse 1:
And so you're [Am] back... from outer [Dm] space
I just walked [G] in to find you here with that sad [C] look upon your face
I should have [Am] changed that stupid lock, I should have [Dm] made you leave your key
If I'd've [E7] known for just one second you'd be [E7] back to bother me
Verse 2:
Go on now [Am] go... walk out the [Dm] door
Just turn a[G]round now... 'cause you're not [C] welcome anymore
[Am] Weren't you the one who tried to [Dm] hurt me with goodbye
Did I [E7] crumble... Did you think I'd [E7] lay down and die?
|Chorus:
|Oh no, not [Am] I... I will sur[Dm]vive
|Oh as [G] long as I know how to love I [C] know I'll stay alive
|I've got [Am] all my life to live... I've got [Dm] all my love to give
|And I'll sur[E7]vive... I will sur[E7]vive... Hey [Am] hey [Dm] [G] [C]
|[Am] [Dm] [E7] [E7]
Verse 3:
It took [Am] all the strength I had... not to [Dm] fall apart
Kept trying' [G] hard to mend the pieces of my [C] broken heart
And I spent [Am] oh so many nights just feeling [Dm] sorry for myself
I used to [E7] cry... but now I [E7] hold my head up high
Verse 4:
And you see [Am] me... somebody [Dm] new
I'm not that [G] chained up little person still in [C] love with you
And so you [Am] felt like droppin' in and just ex[Dm]pect me to be free
Now I'm [E7] savin' all my lovin' for some[E7]one who's lovin' me
Verse 5:
Go on now [Am] go... walk out the [Dm] door
Just turn a[G]round now... 'cause you're not [C] welcome anymore
[Am] Weren't you the one who tried to [Dm] hurt me with goodbye
Did I [E7] crumble... did you think I'd [E7] lay down and die?

[G] Gonna pack up my [C] two-steppin' [G] shoes
And [D7^2] head for the Gulf Coast[Em] plains
Wanna [G] walk the streets of my hometown
Where everybody knows my [D7^2] name
Gonna [G] ride the train down to [C] Galva[G]ston
Where the [D7^2] hurricanes blow [Em] in
Cause that [G] Gulf Coast water tastes sweet as wine
When your [D7^2] heart's blowin’ home in the [G] wind

When the [C] diamonds [G] fall, they burn like [Em] tears
[C] When the diamonds [G] fall, [D7^2] burns like [G] tears

Stick Season - Noah Kahan
Intro: [G]
G
As you promised me that I was more than all the miles combined
D
You mustʼve had yourself a change of heart like halfway through the drive
Em
Because your voice trailed off exactly as you passed my exit sign
C
Kept on drivinʼ straight and left our future to the right
G
Now I am stuck between my anger and the blame that I canʼt face
D
And memories are somethinʼ even smoking weed does not replace
Em
And I am terrified of weather ʼcause I see you when it rains
C
Doc told me to travel, but thereʼs COVID on the planes
Chorus:
| G
|And I love Vermont, but itʼs the season of the sticks
| D
|And I saw your mom, she forgot that I existed
| Em
|And itʼs half my fault, but I just like to play the victim
| C
|Iʼll drink alcohol ʼtil my friends come home for Christmas
G
And Iʼll dream each night of some version of you
D
That I might not have, but I did not lose
Em
Now youʼre tire tracks and one pair of shoes
C D G
And Iʼm split in half, but thatʼll have to do
G
So I thought that if I piled something good on all my bad
D
That I could cancel out the darkness I inherited from Dad
Em
No, I am no longer funny ʼcause I miss the way you laugh
C
You once called me «forever,» now you still canʼt call me back
Chorus:
G
And Iʼll dream each night of some version of you
D
That I might not have, but I did not lose
Em
Now youʼre tire tracks and one pair of shoes
C D G
And Iʼm split in half, but thatʼll have to do
Bridge:
D
Oh, thatʼll have to do
Em
My other half was you
C
I hope this painʼs just passinʼ through
D
But I doubt it
Chorus:

You’re So Vain
Carly Simon
Intro: [Am]
[Verse 1]
You [Am] walked into a party... like you were [F] walking onto a [Am] yacht
Your hat strat[Am]egically dipped below one eye... your [F] scarf it was apri[Am]cot
You had [F] one eye [G] in the [Em] mirror [Am] as
you [F] watched yourself ga[C]vote [pause]
And all the [G] girls dreamed that [F] they’d be your partner, they’d be your partner and
|[Chorus]
|[C] You’re so vain... you [F] prob’ly think this song is a[C]bout you
|You’re so [Am] vain
|I [F] bet you think this song is a[G]bout you, don’t you, don’t you?
[Verse 2]
You [Am] had me several years ago... when [F] I was still quite na[Am]ive
Well you [Am] said that we make such a pretty pair... and [F] that you would never [Am] leave
But you [F] gave a[G]way the [Em] things you [Am] loved and [F] one of them was [C] me [pause]
I had some [G] dreams there were [F] clouds in my coffee, clouds in my coffee and
|[Chorus]
|[C] You’re so vain... you [F] prob’ly think this song is a[C]bout you
|You’re so [Am] vain
|I [F] bet you think this song is a[G]bout you, don’t you, don’t you?
[Verse 3]
Well I [Am] hear you went up to Saratoga... and [F] your horse naturally [Am] won
Then you [Am] flew your Lear Jet up to Nova Scotia... to see the [F] total eclipse of the [Am] sun
Well you’re [F] where you [G] should be [Em] all the [Am] time... and
[F] when you’re not you’re [C] with [pause]
Some underworld [G] spy, or the [F] wife of a close friend, wife of a close friend and
|[Chorus]
|[C] You’re so vain... you [F] prob’ly think this song is a[C]bout you
|You’re so [Am] vain
|I [F] bet you think this song is a[G]bout you, don’t you, don’t you?

You’ve Got the Love
Florence + The Machine
[A] Sometimes I feel like throwing my [G] hands up in the air
[D] I know I can [G] count on [D] you
[A] Sometimes I feel like saying "[G] Lord I just don't care"
But [D] you've got the love I need to [G] see me [D] through
[Am] Sometimes it seems the [G] going is just too rough
[D] And things go wrong no matter [G] what I do
[Am] Now and then it seems that [G] life is just too much
But [A] you've got the love I need to [G] see me [D] through
[A] When food is gone you [G] are my daily [D] meal, oh
[Am] When friends are gone I know my [G] savior's love is [D] real
Your know it’s real
[A] you got the love [G] You got the love
You got the [D] love [Am] You got the love
[G] You got the love [D] You got the love
[Am] Time after time I think "[G] Oh Lord what's the [D] use?"
Time after time I think it's just no good
[Am] 'Cause sooner or later in life, the [G] things you love you loose
[D] You’ve got the love I need to see me through
[A] You’ve got the love [G] You’ve got the love
You’ve got the [D] love [A] You’ve got the love
[G] You’ve got the love You’ve got the [D] love
[A] You’ve got the love [G] You’ve got the love
You’ve got the [D] love [A] You’ve got the love
[G] You’ve got the love You’ve got the [D] love
[A] Sometimes I feel like throwing my [G] hands up in the air
[D] I know I can [G] count on [D] you
[A] Sometimes I feel like saying "[G] Lord I just don't care"
But [D] you've got the love I need to [G] see me [D] through

+ 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

|Zo- om[G]bie... zo-ombie... zo-om[D]bie hey hey hey

|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
