Redemption song Bob Marley

|G | Em |

Old pirates yes they rob I

C | Am |

Sold I to the merchant ships

G | Em |

Minutes after they took I

C | D

from the bottomless pit

|G | Em |

But my hand was made strong

C | Am |

By the hand of the almighty

G | Em |

We forward in this generation

C | D |

triumphantly

| G | C D | G

Won't you help to sing these songs of freedom

| C D | Em | C D | G | C D | G |

Cause all I ever had redemption songs, redemption songs

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery

None but ourselves can free our minds

Have no fear for atomic energy

Cause none of them can stop the time

How long shall they kill our prophets

While we stand aside and look

Some say it's just a part of it

We've got to fulfill the book*

Bad Moon Rising CCR

D A G D I see the bad moon arising.

D A G D I see trouble on the way.

D A G D I see earthquakes and lightnin'.

D A G D I see bad times today.

(CHORUS:)

G Don't go around tonight,

DWell, it's bound to take your life,

A G DThere's a bad moon on the rise.

I hear hurricanes ablowing.I know the end is coming soon.

I fear rivers over flowing.I hear the voice of rage and ruin.

(CHORUS)

All right!

Hope you got your things together.Hope you are quite prepared to die.

Looks like we're in for nasty weather.One eye is taken for an eye.

(CHORUS)

Girl / Beatles Rubber Soul Lennon/McCartneyCapo on 8th

Em B7 Em Em7 Is there anybody going to listen to my storyAm Am7 G B7 All about the girl who came to stay? Em B7 She's the kind of girl you want so much Em Em7 It makes you sorryAm Am7 Em Still, you don't regret a single day G Bm Am D Ah girl Girl

When I think of all the times I've tried so hard to leave her She will turn to me and start to cry And she promises the earth to me And I believe her After all this times I don't know why Ah, girl Girl

Am E She's the kind of girl who puts you down Am E When friends are there, you feel a foolAm When you say she's looking good E She acts as if it's understood Am C She's cool, cool, cool, coolG Bm Am D Girl Girl

Was she told when she was young that pain Would lead to pleasure? Did she understand it when they said That a man must break his back to earn His day of leisure? Will she still believe it when he's dead? Ah girl Girl Girl Ah girl Girl Girl Then:

Instrumental verseFade on Chorus

Carey

C

The wind is in from Africa

G

Last night, I couldn't sleep

F C

Oh you know it sure is hard to leave here, Carey

G

But it's really not my home.

C G

My fingernails are filthy I've got beach tar on my feet

F C G

And I miss my clean white linen and my fancy French cologne.

chorus

C F G

Oh Carey get out your cane, and i'll put on some silver

F G C

Oh your a mean old daddy, but i like you

Come on down to the mermaid cafe and i will buy you a bottle of wineAnd we'll laugh and toast to nothing and smash our empty glasses downLets have a round for these freaks and these soldiers,A round for these friends of mineLets have another round for the bright red devil, who keeps me in this tourist town.

chorus

Maybe I'll go to Amsterdam, or maybe I'll go to RomeAnd rent me a grand piano and put some flowers round my room,But let's not talk about fare-thee-wells now, the night is a starry domeAnd they're playing that scratchy rock n roll beneath the Matella moon

chorus

The wind is in from AfricaLast night i couldn't sleepOh you know it sure is hard to leave here, but its really not my home.Maybe its been too long a time since I was scrambling down in the streets,Now they got me used to that clean white linen and that fancy French cologne.

chorus

MR. TAMBOURINE MAN by Bob Dylan and sung by the Byrds

intro: D A D A G A D G Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me, D G A 2x

I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going to. G A D G Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me, D G A D In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you.

(Bob only)Though I know that evenings empire has returned into sand,Vanished from my hand,Left me blindly here to stand but still not sleeping.My weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feet,I have no one to meet,And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming.

G A D GTake me on a trip upon your magic swirling ship. D G D GMy senses have been stripped, May hands can't feel to grip, D GMy toes too numb to step, D G A 2x

Wait only for my boot heels to be wandering. G A D GI'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade, D G D GInto my own parade. Cast your dancing spell my way, G A 2x

I promise to go under it. (Bob only)

Though you might hear laughing, spinning, swinging madly across the sun,It's not aimed at anyone,It's just escaping on the run,And but for the sky there are no fences facing.And if you hear vague traces of skipping reels of rhyme,To your tambourine in time.It's just a ragged clown behind,I wouldn't pay it any mind,It's just a shadow you're seeing that he's chasing.

(Bob only)

Take me disappearing through the smoke rings of my mind.Down the foggy ruins of time,far past the frozen leaves,The haunted frightened trees,Out to the windy bench,Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow.Yes to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free,Silhouetted by the sea,Circled deep beneath the waves,Let me forget about today until tomorrow.

Sweet Baby James J. Taylor

Intro: 3/4 G ( f#) Em7 A7sus4 /

D A G F#m /There is a young cowboy; he lives on the range. Bm G D F#m /His horse and his cattle are his only companions. Bm G D F#mHe works in the saddle and sleeps in the canyons,G D A Em7 / A /waiting for summer, his pastures to change. G / A7sus4 DAnd as the moon rises, he sits by his fireBm G D Athinking about women and glasses of beer. G / A7sus4 DAnd closing his eyes as the doggies retire. Bm G D /He sings out a song which is soft but its clear, E7sus4 E7 A7sus4 / A7 /as if maybe someone could hear.

Chorus:

D G A DGoodnight you moonlight ladiesBm G D /Rock-a-bye sweet baby JamesBm G D /Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose E7sus4 E7 A7sus4 A7Wont you let me go down in my dreams G A Dand rock-a-bye sweet baby James.

Now the first of December was covered in snowso was the turnpike from Stockbridge to Bostonthough the Berkshires seemed dreamlike on account of the frostingwith ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go.___You knowThere's a song that they sing when they take to the highwaya song that they sing when they take to the seaa song that they sing of their home in the skyMaybe you can believe if it helps you to sleepThe singing works just fine for me.

I'll be Edwin McCain

G / Cadd9 /The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful G / Dsus4 Cadd9Stop me and steal my breath G / Cadd9 /Emeralds from mountains thrust toward the sky G / Dsus4 Cadd9Never revealing their depth G D/F# Em DTell me that we belong together G D/F# Em DDress it up with the trappings of love G D/F# Em DI'll be captivated I'll hang from your lips G / D/F# / Em / D /Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above

Chorus:

G / Cadd9 /I'll be your crying shoulder G / Dsus4 Cadd9I'll be your love suicide G / Cadd9 /and I'll be better when I'm older G / Dsus4 Cadd9 G / Cadd9 / G / Dsus4 Cadd9 I'll be the greatest fan of your life

Rain falls angry on the tin roof As we lie awake in my bed You're my survival, you're my living proof My love is alive not dead Tell me that we belong together Dress it up with the trappings of love I'll be captivated I'll hang from your lips Instead of the gallows of heartache, that hang from above

Repeat Chorus Em / D / C / / /

I've been dropped out, burned up, fought my way back from the dead Em / D / C / / / F / D /

Tuned in, turned on, Remembered the things that you said

Repeat Chorus

High and Dry Radiohead

F#m11 Aadd9 E

Two jumps in a week, I bet you think that's pretty clever don't you boy.

F#m11 Aadd9 E

Flying on your motorcycle, watching all the ground beneath you drop.

F#m11 Aadd9 E

You'd kill yourself for recognition; kill yourself to never ever stop.

F#m11 Aadd9 E

You broke another mirror; you're turning into something you are not.

F#m11 Aadd9 E

Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry

F#m11 Aadd9 E

Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry

Drying up in conversation, you will be the one who cannot talk.

All your insides fall to pieces, you just sit there wishing you could still make love

They're the ones who'll hate you when you think you've got the world all sussed out

They're the ones who'll spit at you. You will be the one screaming out.

Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry

Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry

It's the best thing that you've ever had, the best thing that you've ever, ever had.

It's the best thing that you've ever had; the best thing you've had has gone away.

Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry

Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry

SIMPLE TWIST OF FATE

|D |

They sat together in the park

|Dmaj7 |

As the evening sky grew dark

|D7 |

She looked at him and he felt a spark

|G/B |

Tingle to his bones

|Gm |

'Twas then he felt alone

| D | G/B |

And wished that he'd gone straight

D |Asus4 |D | |

And watched out for a simple twist of fate

2

They walked along the old canalA little confused, I remember wellAnd stopped into a strange hotelWith the neon burning brightHe felt the heat of the nightHit him like a freightTrain moving with a simple twist of fate

3A saxaphone someplace far off playedAs she was walking down by the arcadeAs the light burst through a beat up shadeWhere he was waking upShe dropped a coin into the cupOf a blind man at the gateAnd forgot about a simple twist of fate

Bob Dylan

4He woke up, the room was bareHe didn't see her anywhereHe told himself he didn't carePushed the window open wideFelt an emptiness insideTo which he just could not relateBrought on by his simple twist of fate

5He hears the ticking of the clocksAnd walks along with a parrot that talksHunts her down by the waterfront docksWere the saliors all come inMaybe she'll pick him out againHow long must he wait?One more time for his simple twist of fate

6People tell me its a sinTo know and feel too much withinI still believe she was my twinBut I lost the ringShe was born in springBut I was born too lateBlame it on a simple twist of fate

Hallelujah - Capo 5 by Leonard Cohen, as performed by Jeff Buckley

Intro: |G |Em7 |G |Em7 |

G Em7 G Em7Now I’ve heard there was a secret chord that David played and it pleased the Lord, C D G D But you don’t really care for music, do you? G C DIt goes like this: the fourth, the fifth Em C D B7 Em7 The minor fall, the major lift, the baffled king composing Hallelujah!

Chorus:

(G) C Em C G D G Em7 G Em7Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-jah!

Your faith was strong but you needed proof. You saw her bathing on the roof;Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you. But she tied you to a kitchen chairShe broke your throne, she cut your hair, and from your lips she drew the Hallelujah! (Chorus)

You say I took the name in vain; But I don’t even know the name.But if I did, well, really, what’s it to you? There’s a blaze of light in every word;It doesn’t matter which you heard; The holy, or the broken Hallelujah! (Chorus)

Baby, I’ve been here before. I know this room, I’ve walked this floor.I used to live alone before I knew you. I’ve seen your flag on the marble arch,Love is not a victory march. It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah! (Chorus)

There was a time you let me know What’s really going on belowBut now you never show it to me, do you? I remember when I moved in you,And the holy dove was moving, too. And every breath we drew was Hallelujah! (Chorus)

Now maybe there’s a God above But all I ever learn from loveIs how to shoot at somebody who outdrew you. And it’s not a cry that you hear at night, It’s not somebody who’s seen the light, it’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah! Chorus: C Em C G D Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu-u- repeat...
