NOBODY KNOWS YOU WHEN YOU'RE DOWN AND OUT [C]Once I lived the [E7]life of a [A7]million[A7]aire,

[Dm]Spent all my [A7]money, didn’t [Dm]have any [Dm]cares.

[F]Took all my [F#o]friends out for a [C] mighty good [A7]time,

[D7]Bought bootleg [D7]liquor , [G]champagne and [G7]wine.

[C]Then I [E7]began to [A7]fall so [A7]low,

[Dm]Lost all my good [A7]friends, had [Dm] nowhere to

[Dm]go. [F]I get my hands [F#o]on a [C] dollar [A7]again,

[D7]I’ll hang on to[D7] it till that [G]eagle [G7]grins.

[C]Because, [E7]nobody [A7]knows [A7]you

[Dm]When you're [A7]down and [Dm]out[Dm].

[F]In your [F#o]pocket, not [C] one [A7]penny,

[D7]And as for [D7]friends, you don't [G]have [G7]any.

[C]When you get [E7]back up on your [A7]feet [A7]again,

[Dm]Everybody [A7]wants to be your [Dm]long-lost [Dm]friend.

[F]I Said it's [F#o]strange, with[C] out any [A7]doubt,

[D7]Nobody [D7]knows you when you're [G]down and[G7] out.

[C]Ooooh, [E7]nobody [A7]knows [A7]you

[Dm]When you're [A7]down and [Dm]out[Dm].

[F]In your [F#o]pocket, not [C] one [A7]penny,

[D7]And as for [D7]friends, you don't [G]have [G7]any.

[C]When you get [E7]back up on your [A7]feet [A7]again,

[Dm]Everybody [A7]wants to be your [Dm]long-lost [Dm]friend.

[F]I Said it's [F#o]strange, with[C] out any [A7]doubt,

[D7]Nobody [D7]knows you

[D7]Nobody [D7]knows you

[D7]Nobody [D7]knows you when you're [G]down and[G7] out.

Written in 1923

I Feel Pretty - West Side Story

I feel [D] pretty, oh so pretty

I feel pretty and witty and [Em] bright [A]

And I [Bm] pity any [Em] girl who isn't [A] me to[D]night

I feel [D] charming, Oh so charming

It's alarming how charming I [Em] feel [A]

And so [Bm] pretty that I [Em] hardly can be[A]lieve I'm [D] real

[G] See the pretty girl in that mirror there?

Who can that attractive girl [D] be?

[F#m] Such a pretty [C#7] face, such a pretty [F#m] dress,

Such a pretty [Dm] smile, such a pretty [A7] me!

I feel [D] stunning, and entrancing

Feel like running and dancing for [Em] joy [A]

For I'm [Bm] loved ... by a [Em] pretty [A] wonderful [D] boy

Runaround Sue

[G]Here's my story, it's sad but true

[Em]It's about a girl that I once knew

[C]She took my love, then ran around

[D]With every single guy in town

[G]Hey, hey, um-da-da-da-di-di

[Em] Hey, hey, um-da-da-da-di-di

[C] Hey, hey, um-da-da-da-di-di

[D]Hey, hey, oooooooooohhhhh

[G]I guess I should have known it from the very start

[Em]This girl would leave me with a broken heart

[C]Now listen people what I'm telling you

[D]"I keep away from Runaround Sue"

[G]Her amazing lips and the smile from her face

[Em]The touch of her hand and this girl's warm embrace

[C]So if you don't want to cry like I do

[D]Keep away from Runaround Sue.

[C]She like to travel around

[G]She'll love you, then she'll put you down

[C]Now, people let me put you wise

[D]She goes out with other guys

[G]And the moral of the story from the guy who knows

[Em]I've been in love and my love still grows

[C]Ask any fool that she ever knew

[D]they'll say: Keep away from Runaround Sue

UNDER THE BOARDWALK

Oh, when the[C] sun beats down

And burns the tar up on the [G7]roof

And your shoes get so hot

You wish your tired feet were [C]fireproof[C7]

Under the [F]boardwalk

Down by the [C]sea, yeah

On a blanket with my baby[G7]

Is where I'll [C]be

(Under the [Am]boardwalk) Out of the sun

(Under the [G7]boardwalk) We'll be having some fun

(Under the [Am]boardwalk) People walking above

(Under the [G7]boardwalk) We'll be falling in love

(Under the [Am]boardwalk, boardwalk)

In the [C]park you hear

The happy sound of the carou[G7]sel

You can almost taste the hot dogs

French fries they [C]sell[C7]

Under the [F]boardwalk

Down by the [C]sea, yeah

On a blanket with my baby[G7]

Is where I'll [C]be

Blue Christmas

I'll have a [F] blue Christmas with[C7]out you

I'll be so [Gm7] blue [C7] just thinking a-a-a[F]bout you

Deco[Cm7]rations of [D7] red on a [Gm]green Christmas [Fdim] tree

[G7] Won't be the same dear, if [C7] you're not [Gm7] here with [C7] me

And when those [F] blue snowflakes start [C7] fallin'

And when those [Gm7] blue [C7] memories start [F] callin'

You'll be [Cm7] doin' all [D7] right, with [Gm] your Christmas of [Fdim] white

But [C7] I'll have a [Gm7] blue, [C7] blue-blue-blue [F] Christmas

Instrumental: [F] [C7] [Gm7] [C7] [F]

Deco[Cm7]rations of [D7] red on a [Gm] green Christmas [Fdim] tree

[G7] Won't be the same dear, if [C7] you're not [Gm7] here with [C7] me

I'll have a [F] blue Christmas that's [C7] certain

And when that [Gm7] blue [C7] heartache starts [F] hurtin'

You'll be [Cm7]doin' all [D7] right, with your [Gm] Christmas of [Fdim] white,

But [C7] I'll have a [Gm7] blue, [C7] blue-blue-blue [F] Christmas ...

But [C7] I'll have a [Gm7] blue, [C7] blue-blue-blue [F] Christmas ... [F6/9]

THOSE WERE THE DAYS [Am]Once upon a time there was a tavern

Where we used to raise a glass or [Dm]two

Remember how we laughed away the [Am]hours

And [B7]dreamed of all the great things we would [E7]do

Chorus

Those were the [Am]days my friend

We thought they'd [Dm]never end

We'd sing and [G]dance for[G7]ever and a [C]day

We'd live the [Dm]life we choose

We'd fight and [Am]never lose

For we were [E7]young and sure to have our [Am]way.

La la la [Am] la la la la la [Dm] la la la

Those were the [E7]days, oh yes those were the [Am]days

[Am]Then the busy years went rushing by us

We lost our starry notions on the [Dm]way

If by chance I'd see you in the [Am]tavern

We'd [B7]smile at one another and we'd [E7]say

Chorus

[Am]Just tonight I stood before the tavern

Nothing seemed the way it used to [Dm]be

In the glass I saw a strange re[Am]flection

[B7]Was that lonely woman really [E7]me

Chorus

[Am]Through the door there came familiar laughter

I saw your face and heard you call my [Dm]name

Oh my friend we're older but no [Am]wiser

For [B7]in our hearts the dreams are still the [E7]same

Ninety-Two Percent (to the tune of Five Foot Two Eyes of Blue)

[C] Nine-two, [E7] percent it’s true

[A7] That’s Kiama’s solid view

A[D7]gainst the merger, [G7] and what’s [C] more

[C] Turned up their nose, to [E7] what’s proposed

Said [A7] no way we want one of those

The [D7] whole idea is [G7] very [C] poor

So [E7] if you run into, an MP or two

[A7] Please don’t be shy

[D7] Let them know, before they go

This [G7] merger thing will [D7] never [G7] fly

But [C] if instead, they [E7] go ahead

[A7] Mike’s career could well be dead

This [D7] Government needs to [G7] heed our [C] ca-aw-aw-all

This [D7] Government needs to [G7] heed our [C] ca-all …

When The State Comes Bargin In (When The Saints Go Marching In)

Oh, when the [C] State comes barging in

Oh, when the State comes barging [G7] in

No, we [C] don’t want to [C7] be in that [F] merger

When the [C] State comes [G7] barging [C] in

Oh, when we [C] all begin to sing

Oh, when we all begin to [G7] sing

No, we [C] don't want to [C7] be in that [F] merger

When we [C] all be[G7]gin to [C] sing

So, let the [C] State know how we feel

Oh, let the State know how we [G7] feel

No, we [C] don’t want to [C7] be in that [F] merger

So, let the [C] State know [G7] how we [C] feel

Oh, when the [C] State comes barging in

Oh, when the State comes barging [G7] in

No, we [C] don’t want to [C7] be in that [F] merger
