Who's peeking out from under a stairway
Calling a name that's lighter than air?
Who's bending down to give me a rainbow?
Everyone knows it's Windy

Who's tripping down the streets of the city
Smiling at everybody she sees?
Who's reaching out to capture a moment?
Everyone knows it's Windy

And Windy has stormy eyes
That flash at the sound of lies
And Windy has wings to fly
Above the clouds (Above the clouds)
Above the clouds (Above the clouds)

And Windy has stormy eyes
That flash at the sound of lies
And Windy has wings to fly
Above the clouds (Above the clouds)
Above the clouds (Above the clouds)

Who's tripping down the streets of the city
Smiling at everybody she sees?
Who's reaching out to capture a moment?
Everyone knows it's Windy

Who's tripping down the streets of the city
Smiling at everybody she sees?
Who's reaching out to capture a moment?
Everyone knows it's Windy

Who's tripping down the streets of the city
Smiling at everybody she sees?
Who's reaching out to capture a moment?
Everyone knows it's Windy

Who's tripping down the streets of the city
Smiling at everybody she sees?
Who's reaching out to capture a moment?
Everyone knows it's Windy

Who's tripping down the streets of the city
Smiling at everybody she sees?
Who's reaching out to capture a moment?
Everyone knows it's Windy

Intro - Am-D ... Am-D6-Am7-D6
Am D6
Every time I think that I'm the only one who's lonely someone calls on me
Am D6
And every now and then I spend my time in rhyme and verse and curse
Am7 D6 
those faults in me
E
And then along comes Mary - And does she want to give me kicks and be my
ADG steady chick and give me pick of memories
BEAEB
Or maybe rather gather tales of all the fails and tribulations
E A Dm Em Fmaj7 No one ever sees --- When we met I was sure out to lunch
D ... Am-D6-Am7-D6 Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch
Am D6
When vague desire is the fire in the eyes of chicks whose sickness is the Am7D6 Am D6 games they play -- And when the masquerade is played and neighbor folks
Am7 D6 make jokes as who is most to blame today
E
And then along comes Mary - And does she want to set them free and let
ADG them see reality from where she got her name
BEAEB And will they struggle much when told that such a tender touch as hers
EA Will make them not the same
Dm Em Fmaj7 When we met I was sure out to lunch
D ... Am-D6-Am7-D6 Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch
Am-D
Am7 D6
 Am D6
And when the morning of the warning's passed, the gassed and flaccid kids
Am7 D6 are flung across the stars.
Am D6
The psychodramas and the traumas gone the songs are left unsung and
Am7 D6 hung upon the scars
E
And then along comes Mary
And does she want to see the stains the dead remains of all the pains she ADG
left the night before BEAEA
Or will their waking eyes reflect the lies and make them realize their urgent BA
cry -- for sight no more
Dm Em Fmaj7 When we met I was sure out to lunch
D
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch
AmD6 Am D6 ..........Sweet as the punch (x4)

G            GCG                   GCG
Go out yonder,  peace in the valley
G              GCG                            GCG
Come downtown,     have to rumble in the alley
D             D7      Em         G  GCG
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in

G           GCG                GCG
Has anybody     seen my lady?
G                 GCG                      GCG
This living alone      will drive me crazy
D             D7       Em        G  GCG
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in

C            Dm          Em  Dm C
I'm gonna go down by the water
C                 Dm       Em  Dm C
But I ain't gonna jump in, no, no
C            Dm             Em      Dm C
I'll just be looking for my neighbor
F           D
And I hear that's where she's been? Oh!

Out of nine lives, I spent seven
Now, how in the world do you get to Heaven?
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in

I just spent 60 days in the jailhouse
For the crime of having no dough
Now here I am back out on the street
For the crime of having nowhere to go

Save your neck or save your brother
Looks like it's one or the other
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in

Now two young kids might start a ruckus
You know they feel you trying to shuck us
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in 

(Intro)
C  Gm7  Fadd9   G  (repeat several times)
C  Gm7  Fadd9   D   Em

Em                         A
Now deep in the heart of a lonely kid
    G        D           C            B7 D 
Who suffered so much for what he did
Em                           A
They gave this ploughboy his fortune and fame
G          D            C            B7  D 
Since that day he ain't been the same

G                    Am
See the man with the stage fright
F                                 G
Just standin' up there to give it all his might
G                        Am
And he got caught in the spotlight
F
But when we get to the end
D                          G
He wants to start all over again

I've got fire water right on my breath
And the doctor warned me I might catch a death
Said, "You can make it in your disguise
Just never show the fear that's in your eyes"

See the man with the stage fright
Just standin' up there to give it all his might
He got caught in the spotlight
But when we get to the end
He wants to start all over again

F#m                 Bm  A  F#m   D?
Now if he says that he's afraid
C               G
Take him at his word
F#m                        Bm  A  F#m  
And for the price that the poor boy has paid
C  C#dim  D      D#dim      Em
He gets to sing just like a bird, oh, ooh ooh ooh

Your brow is sweatin' and your mouth gets dry
Fancy people go driftin' by
The moment of truth is right at hand
Just one more nightmare you can stand

See the man with the stage fright
Just standin' up there to give it all his might
And he got caught in the spotlight
But when we get to the end
He wants to start all over again, hmm hmm
You wanna try it once again, hmm hmm
Please don't make him stop, hmm hmm
Let him take it from the top, hmm hmm
Let him start all over again 

Am     C/G                      F                      Dm
Virgil Caine is the name, and I served on the Danville train
Am              C/G                 F                  Dm
'Til Stoneman's cavalry came and it tore up the tracks again
Am                F           C                   Dm
In the winter of '65, we were hungry, just barely alive
Am            F                         C        Dm            D
By May tenth, Richmond had fell, it's a time I remember, oh so well

    C          Fmaj7           C                 Fmaj7    
The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, and all the bells were ringing
    C          Fmaj7           C                 Fmaj7    
The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, and all the people were singin'
          C        Am          Gsus4             F
They went La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La 
 
Back with my wife in Tennessee, when one day she called to me
"Say Virgil, quick, come see, there goes Robert E. Lee!"
Now I don't mind choppin' wood, and I don't care if my money's no good
Ya take what ya need and ya leave the rest
But they should never have taken the very best

The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, and all the bells were ringing
The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, and all the people were singin'
They went

Like my father before me, I will work the land
And like my brother up above me, who took a rebel stand
He was just eighteen, proud and brave, but a Yankee laid him in his grave
I swear by the mud below my feet, you can't raise a Caine back up when he's in defeat

The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, when all the bells were ringing
The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, and you could hear 'm all singin'
They went

But long as there are stars above you

You never need to doubt it
I'll make you so sure about it

God only knows what I'd be without you

If you should ever leave me
Though life would still go on believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me

God only knows what I'd be without you

God only knows what I'd be without you

If you should ever leave me
Well life would still go on believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me

Everything will turn out alright (Don't worry, baby)
Don't worry, baby (Don't worry, baby)

I guess I shoulda kept my mouth shut
When I started to brag about my car
But I can't back down now because
I pushed the other guys too far
She makes me come alive
And makes me wanna drive

When she says (Don't worry, baby)
Don't worry, baby (Don't worry, baby)
Everything will turn out alright (Don't worry, baby)
Don't worry, baby (Don't worry, baby)


She told me, Baby, when you race today
Just take along my love with you
And if you knew how much I loved you, baby
Nothing could go wrong with you
Oh, what she does to me
When she makes love to me
And she says (Don't worry, baby)

Don't worry, baby (Don't worry, baby)
Everything will turn out alright (Don't worry, baby)
Don't worry, baby (Don't worry, baby)
Everything will turn out alright (Don't worry, baby)
Don't worry, baby (Don't worry, baby)

 THE BEAU BRUMMELS
"Just A Little"
Ah ah ah ah

I can't stay, yes I know
You know I hate to go
But goodbye, love was sweet
Our worlds can never meet

[Chorus:]
So I'll cry just a little 'cause I love you so
And I'll die just a little 'cause I have to go
Away

Can't you see how I feel
When I say love's unreal
But goodbye, it's been sweet
Even though incomplete

[Chorus]

[Instrumental break]

Every night I still hear
All your sighs very clear
Now love's gone, gone away
As I once heard you say

[Chorus 2:]
Now I've cried just a little 'cause I loved you so
And I've died just a little 'cause I had to go
Away

[Instrumental break]

[Coda]

I hate to say it but I told you so, don't mind my preaching to you
I said "don't trust 'em, baby" now you know
You don't know every thing there is to know in school.
Wouldn't believe me when I gave advice, I said that he was a tease
If you want help you better ask me now
So be sincere, convince me with a "pretty please"

Laugh, laugh, I thought I'd die
It seemed so funny to me
Laugh, laugh you met a guy who taught you how it feels to be
Lonely, oh so lonely

Don't think I'm being funny when I say you got just what you deserve
I can't help feeling you found out today
You thought you were too good you got a lot of nerve

Won't say I'm sorry for the things I said. I'm glad he packed up to go
You kept on bragging he was yours instead
Found you don't know every thing there is to know

Laugh, laugh, I thought I'd die
It seemed so funny to me
Laugh, laugh you met a guy who taught you how it feels to be
Lonely, oh so lonely

Before I go I got to say one thing, don't close your ears to me
Take my advice and you find out that he 
Is just another guy who'll cause you misery
Don't say you can't get any boy to call, do be so smug or else
You'll find you can't get any boy a tall
You'll wind up an old lady sitting on the shelf.

Laugh, laugh, I thought I'd die
It seemed so funny to me
Laugh, laugh you met a guy who taught you how it feels to be
Lonely, oh so lonely

Lonely, oh so lonely

In my brain
I see your face again
I know my frame of mind
You ain't got to be so blind
And I'm blind, so so so  blind
I'm a man, can't you see
What I am
I live and I breathe for you
But what good does it do
If I ain't got you, ain't got? Hey babe

You don't know what it's like, baby
You don't know what it's like
To love somebody
To love somebody
The way I love you

"C'est la vie," say the old folks, "it goes to show you never can tell"

They furnished off an apartment with a 2-room Roebuck sale
The coolerator was crammed with TV dinners and ginger 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 tell"

They had a hi-fi phono, boy, did they let it blast
700 little records, all rock, rhythm and 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 tell"

They bought a souped-up jitney, was a cherry red '53
And drove it down to Orleans to celebrate their anniversary
It was there where Pierre was wedded to the lovely mademoiselle
"C'est la vie," say the old folks, "it goes to show you never can tell"

They had a teenage wedding, and the old folks wished them well
You could see that Pierre did truly love the mademoiselle
And now the young monsieur and madame have rung the chapel bell
"C'est la vie," say the old folks, "it goes to show you never can tell"

If you don't know me by now
You will never never never know me

All the things
That we've been through
You should understand me
Like I understand you
Now girl I know the difference
Between right and wrong
I ain't gonna do nothing
To break up our happy home
Don't get so excited
When I come home
A little late at night
Cos we only act like children
When we argue fuss and fight

If you don't know me by now
You will never never never know me

We've all got our
Own funny moods
I've got mine,
Woman you've got yours too
Just trust in me like I trust in you
As long as we've been together
It should be so easy to do
Just get yourself together
Or we might as well say goodbye
What good is a love affair
When you can't see eye to eye

If you don't know me by now
You will never
Never never know me

I lost at love before
Got mad and closed the door
But you said child just once more
I chose you for the one
Now we're havin' so much fun
You treated me so kind
I'm about to lose my mind
You made me so very happy
I'm so glad you
Came into my life
The others were untrue
But when it came to lovin' you
I'd spend my whole life with you
'Cause you came and you took control
You touch my very soul
You always show me that
Lovin' you is where it's at
You made me so very happy
I'm so glad you
Came into my life
Thank you, baby
I love you so much you see
You're even in my dreams
I can hear
Baby, I can hear you calling me
I'm so in love with you
All I ever want to do is
Thank you baby, thank you baby
You made me so very happy
I'm so glad you
Came into my life
You made me so very happy
You made me so, so very happy
I'm so glad you
Came into my life
Mmmm, I want to thank you, girl
Every day of my life
I wanna thank you
You made me so very happy
Oh, I wanna spend my life thanking you
Thank you baby, thank you baby
Thank you baby thank you baby

You taught me how to laugh, what it solved, what it solved
You never said too much, but still you showed the way
And I knew from watching you
Nobody else could ever know, the part of me that can't let go

I would give anything I own, give up my life, my heart, my home
I would give anything I own, just to have you back again
You taught me how to laugh, what it solved, what it solved
You never said too much, but still you showed the way
And I knew from watching you
Nobody else could ever know, the part of me that can't let go

Is there someone you know, you're loving them so
But taking them all for granted
You may lose them one day, someone takes them away
And they don't hear the words you long to say

I would give anything I own, give up my life, my heart, my home
I would give anything I own, just to have you back again
You taught me how to laugh, what it solved, what it solved
You never said too much, but still you showed the way
And I knew from watching you
Nobody else could ever know, the part of me that can't let go

Just to touch you once again

Oh, hello Mr. Soul, I dropped by to pick up a reason
For the thought that I caught that my head is the event of the season
Why in crowds just a trace of my face could seem so pleasin'
I'll cop out to the change, but a stranger is putting the tease on

I was down on a frown when the messenger brought me a letter
I was raised by the praise of a fan who said I upset her
Any girl in the world could have easily known me better
She said, "You're strange, but don't change", and I let her

In a while will the smile on my face turn to plaster?
Stick around while the clown who is sick does the trick of disaster
For the race of my head and my face is moving much faster
Is it strange I should change? I don't know, why don't you ask her?
Is it strange I should change? I don't know, why don't you ask her?
Is it strange I should change? I don't know, why don't you ask her?

There's something happening here
But what it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware

I think it's time we stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's going down?

There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking' their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind

It's time we stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's going down?

What a field day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly saying, "hooray for our side"

It's time we stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's going down?

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
Step out of line, the man come and take you away

We better stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's going down?

We better stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's going down?

We better stop
Now, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's going down?

We better stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's going down?

By the time I make Albuquerque
She'll be working
She'll probably stop at lunch,
And give me a call
But she'll just hear that phone keep on ringing
Off the wall, that's all

By the time I make Oklahoma
She'll be sleeping
She'll turn softly and call my name out low
And she'll cry, just to think, I'd really leave her
Though time and time I've tried to tell her so
She just didn't know,
I would really go

Liar, liar, pants on fire
Your nose is longer than a telephone wire

Ask me, baby, why I'm sad
You've been out all night, I know you've been bad
Don't tell me different, know it's a lie
Come to me, honey, see how I cry

Why must you hurt me, do what you do?
Listen here, girl, can't you see I love you?
Make a little effort, try to be true
I'll be happy, not so blue

Liar, liar, pants on fire
Your nose is longer than a telephone wire

If you keep on tellin' me those lies
Still goin' out with other guys
There'll come a day I'll be gone
Take my advice, won't be long

When that day comes, won't be mad
Be free of you, but I'll still be sad
In spite of your cheatin', still love you so
I'll be unhappy if I let you go

Liar, liar, pants on fire
Your nose is longer than a telephone wire

Waiting for us around the bend

Time is getting shorter and there's much for you to do
Only ask and you will get what you are needing
The rest is up to you
Plant your love and let it grow

[Chorus][x2]

Faded photograph, covered now with lines and creases
Tickets torn in half, memories in bits and pieces
Traces of love, long ago that didn't work out right
Traces of love.
Things we used to share, souvenirs of days together
The ring he used to wear, pages from an old love letter
Traces of love, long ago that didn't work out right
Traces of love, with me tonight.
I close my eyes and say a prayer
That in his heart, he'll find a trace of love still there,
Somewhere
Traces of hope in the night that he'll come back and dry
These traces of tears from my eyes.
Traces of hope in the night that he'll come back and dry
These traces of tears from my eyes.

Am7          Gmaj7           Am7          Gmaj7
You were the sunshine, baby, whenever you smiled
    Am7        Gmaj7    Cmaj7
But I call you Stormy today
All of a sudden that ole rain's fallin' down
And my world is cloudy and gray
You've gone away
Oh Stormy, oh Stormy
Bring back that sunny day

Yesterday's love was like a warm summer breeze
But, like the weather ya changed
Now things are dreary, baby
And it's windy and cold
And I stand alone in the rain
Callin' your name
Oh Stormy, oh Stormy
Bring back that sunny day

Oh Stormy, oh Stormy
Bring back that sunny day

Bring back that sunny day

Oh Stormy,
Oh Stormy

	Just a breeze will muss your hair

Verse 2:

And when the leaves begin to fall
Answering old winter's call
I feel my tears, they fall like rain
Weeping forth the sad refrain
Blue, dark, and dim it may seem
You mark a grin, a moonbeam
Brightens your smile, pray tell me
How all the while you can be
So mystifyingly glad
I'm Mr. Dieingly Sad

Verse 3 (abbreviated):

Then the tide rolls up to shore
I whisper low, "I love you more
More than even you could know"
Adore me do so I could show

I'm so mystifyingly glad
Not Mr. Dieingly Sad

You went away and left me long time ago
Now you're knocking on my door
I hear you knocking, but you can't come in
I hear you knocking, go back where you been

I begged you not to go but you said goodbye
And now you're telling me all your lies
I hear you knocking, but you can't come in
I hear you knocking, go back where you been, oh yeah

You better get back to your used-to-be
'Cause you're kinda love ain't good for me
I hear you knocking, but you can't come in
I hear you knocking, go back where you been

I told you way back in Fifty-two
That I would never go with you
I hear you knocking but you can't come in
I hear you knocking, go back where you been

"Can't Get It Out Of My Head"

Midnight on the water.
I saw the ocean's daughter
Walking on a wave chicane,
Staring as she called my name.

And I can't get it out of my head.
No, I can't get it out of my head.
Now my old world is gone for dead
'Cause I can't get it out of my head.

Breakdown on the shoreline.
Can't move. It's an ebb tide.
Morning don't get here tonight
Searching for her silver light.

And I can't get it out of my head.
No, I can't get it out of my head.
Now my old world is gone for dead
'Cause I can't get it out of my head.
No, no.

Bank job in the city.
Robin Hood, William Tell, Ivanhoe and Lancelot.
They don't envy me.
Sitting 'til the sun goes down.
In dreams the world keeps going round and round.

And I can't get it out of my head.
No, I can't get it out of my head.
Now my old world is gone for dead
'Cause I can't get it out of my head.
No, no.

No, I can't get it out of my head.
No, I can't get it out of my head.
Now my old world is gone for dead
'Cause I can't get it out of my head.
No, no, no, no.

Intro:	C-Am-C-Am-
	C-Am-D7/F#-F-G-


  C                        Am
Met my old lover in a grocery store
  C                                Am
The snow was falling Christmas eve
  C                            Am
I stole behind her in the frozen foods
          D7/F#               FM7  G
And I touched her on her sleeve
  C                          Am
She didn't recognize the face at first
  C                            Am
But then her eye flew open wide
  C                             Am
She went to hug me and she spilled her purse
            D7              FM7  G
And we laughed until we cried.



Interlude: (Do intro chords)


  C                                Am
She took her groc'ries to the check-out stand
  C                             Am
The food was totaled up and bagged
  C                              Am
We stood there lost in our embarrassment
            D7           FM7   G
As the conversation dragged
  C                          Am
Went to have ourselves a drink or two
  C                           Am
But couldn't find and open bar
  C                           Am
Bought a six-pack at the liquor store
         D7            FM7 G
And we drank it in her car.


Refrain:
 Am                      F
We drank a toast to innocence
        G              Am
We drank a toast to now
 Am                               F
We tried to reach beyond the emptiness
         G
But neither one knew how.



	(2nd Verse Chords)
She said she married her an architect
Who kept her warm and safe and dry
She would've liked to say she loved the man
But she didn't like to lie.
I said the years had been a friend to her
And her eyes was still as blue
But in those eyes I wasn't sure if I
Saw a doubt of gratitude.
  C                         Am
She said she saw in the record stores
  C                    Am
And that I must be doing well
  C                         Am
I said the audience was heavenly
           D7          F
But the travelling was hell.



Refrain:
Am                      F
We drank a toast to innocence
        G              Am
We drank a toast to now
 Am                               F
We tried to reach beyond the emptiness
         G
But neither one knew how.
  Am                     F
We drank a toast to innocence,
     G              Am
We drank a toast to time.
 Am                   F
Reliving in our eloquence
      G                pause
Another "auld lang syne."



	(2nd Verse Chords)
The beer was empty and our tongues were tired
And running out of things to say
She gave a kiss to me as I got out
And I watched her drive away
Just for a moment I was back in school
And felt that old familiar pain
And as I turned to make my way back home
                     FM7/G-G
The snow turned into rain.

Bernadette
People are searching for
The kind of love that we possess
Some go on
Searching their whole life through
And never find the love I found in you

And when I speak of you
I see envy in other men's eyes
And I'm well aware of what's on their minds
They pretend to be my friend, when all the time (sweet Bernadette)
They long to persuade you from my side (sweet Bernadette)
They'd give the world and all they own
For just one moment we have known

Bernadette
They want you because
Of the pride that it gives
But Bernadette
I want you because
I need you to live

But while I live only to hold you
Some other men, they long to control you
But how can they control you, Bernadette (sweet Bernadette)
When they can not control themselves, Bernadette (sweet Bernadette)
From wanting you, needing you
But darling, you belong to me

I'll tell the world, you belong to me
I tell the world, you're the soul of me
I tell the world, you're a part of me
Bernadette

In your arms I find the kind of peace of mind
The world is searching for
But you, you give me the joy this heart of mine
Has always been longing for

In you I have what other men long for
All men need someone to worship and adore
That's why I treasure you and place you high above
For the only joy in life is to be loved
So whatever you do, Bernadette

Keep on loving me
Bernadette, keep on needing me
Bernadette

Bernadette
You're the soul of me
More than a dream, you're a plan to me
And Bernadette, you mean more to me
Than a woman was ever meant to be

Bernadette
My darling, Bernadette

Cm                  D#            F         Cm
Who wants to bu-u-uy this diamond ri-i-i-ing?
Cm                  D#                     F         C#
She took it off her finger, now it doesn't mean a thi-i-i-ng
F#                        D#m
This diamond ring doesn't shine for me anymore
    F#                        D#m
And this diamond ring doesn't mean what it meant before
   D#m       A#m     D#m       A#m     G#m
So if you've got someone whose love is tru-u-ue
C#               F#       G
Let it shine for yo-ou-ou
Cm ...
This stone is genuine like love should be-e-e-e
And if your baby's truer than my baby was to me-e-e-e
This diamond ring can mean something beautiful
And this diamond ring can mean dreams that are coming true
And then your heart won't have to break like mine did
If there's love behind it

[Instrumental]

This diamond ring can mean something beautiful
And this diamond ring can mean dreams that are coming true
And then your heart won't have to break like mine did
If there's love behind it

This diamond ring doesn't shine for me anymore
And this diamond ring doesn't mean what it meant before

Can you hear them

Our lips are sealed

There's a weapon
That we must use
In our defense
Silence reveals

When you look at them
Look right through them
That's when they'll disappear
That's when we'll be feared

It doesn't matter what they say
In the jealous games people play
Our lips are sealed

Give no mind to what they say
It doesn't matter anyway
Our lips are sealed

Hush, my darling
Don't you cry
Quiet, angel
Forget their lies

Can you hear them
They talk about us
Telling lies
Well, that's no surprise

Can you see them
See right through them
They have no shield
No secrets to reveal

It doesn't matter what they say
In the jealous games people play
Our lips are sealed

Pay no mind to what they say
It doesn't matter anyway
Our lips are sealed
Our lips are sealed
Our lips are sealed

I cannot decode, my whole life spins into a frenzy

Chorus 

Help I'm steppin' into the Twilight Zone

The place is a madhouse, feels like being cloned

My beacon's been moved under moon and star

Where am I to go, now that I've gone too far

Help I'm steppin' into the Twilight Zone

The place is a madhouse, feels like being cloned

My beacon's been moved under moon and star

Where am I to go, now that I've gone too far
              Bm          A
Soon you will come to know, When the bullet hits the bone          
              Bm          A    
Soon you will come to know, When the bullet hits the bone


Verse 2
Bm
I'm falling down a spiral, destination unknown
A
double-crossed messenger, all alone
G                                                          F#
I can't get no connection, can't get through, where are you
         Bm    
Well the night weighs heavy on his guilty mind

This far from the borderline

when the hitman comes

He knows damn well he has been cheated

Lead Riff For 2nd Verse
weighs heavy...  this far from... when the hitman... he knows damn well...

When the bullet hits the bone!!

Maybe I know that he's been a cheatin'
Maybe I know that he's been untrue
But, what can I do?

I hear them whispering when I walk by
He's gonna break her heart and make her cry
I know it's me they're talkin' about
I bet they all think I'll never find out

Ooh, but maybe I know that he's been a cheatin'
Maybe I know that he's been untrue 
But, what can I do?

My friends are telling me that he's no good
He isn't treating me the way he should
He really loves me that's all I can say
Before my tears fall I just walk away

Ooh, but maybe I know that he's been a cheatin'
Maybe I know that he's been untrue
But, what can I do?

Whoa, oooooo, ooo

Deep down inside he loves me
Though he may run around
Deep down inside he loves me
Some day he'll settle down

Ooh, maybe I know that he's been a cheatin'
Maybe I know that he's been untrue
But, what can I do?

(Instrumental break - sax solo)

He really loves me, that's all I can say
Before my tears fall, I just walk away

Ooh, maybe I know that he's been a cheatin'
Maybe I know that he's been untrue
But, what can I do?

Ooh, maybe I know that he's been a cheatin'
Maybe I know that he's been untrue
But, what can I do?

G             D           G
Riding on the City of New Orleans
Em               C              G
Illinois Central Monday morning rail
G                 D               G
Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders
Em             D           G
Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail
     Em          
All along the southbound odyssey
    Bm
The train pulls out at Kankakee
D                                  A
Rolls along past houses, farms and fields
Em 
Passin' trains that have no names
Bm
Freight yards full of old black men
D                                G
And the graveyards of the rusted automobiles
C            D           G
Good morning America how are you?
Em                C               G
Don't you know me I'm your native son
D       G                   D           Em  Em/D  Em/db
I'm the train they call The City of New Orleans
        F         C/E     D                     G
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done

Dealin' cards with the old men in the club car
Penny a point ain't no one keepin' score
Won't you pass the paper bag that holds the bottle
Feel the wheels rumblin' 'neath the floor
And the sons of Pullman porters
And the sons of engineers
Ride their father's magic carpets made of steam
Mothers with their babes asleep
Are rockin' to the gentle beat
And the rhythm of the rails is all they dream

Good morning America how are you?
Don't you know me I'm your native son
I'm the train they call The City of New Orleans
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done

Nighttime on The City of New Orleans
Changing cars in Memphis, Tennessee
Half way home, we'll be there by morning
Through the Mississippi darkness
Rolling down to the sea
And all the towns and people seem
To fade into a bad dream
And the steel rails still ain't heard the news
The conductor sings his song again
The passengers will please refrain
This train's got the disappearing railroad blues

Good night, America, how are you?
Don't you know me I'm your native son
I'm the train they call The City of New Orleans
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done

G                            Am7
Now I've watched you sitting there
G                       Am7
Seen the passers-by all stare
         Em               Em6
Like you have no place to go
            C                  C#dim
But there's so much they don't know 
            G       DD GG DD
about Apple Scruffs

            G                Am7
You've been stood around for years
        G                     Am7
Seen my smiles and touched my tears
         Em                Em6
How it's been a long, long time
        C                 C#dim 
And how you've been on my mind, 
         G       DD GG DD
my Apple Scruffs

      C#dim  G       C#dim  G  
Apple Scruffs, Apple Scruffs
B7    Em              A7
How I love you, how I love you

In the fog and in the rain
Through the pleasures and the pain
On the step outside you stand
With your flowers in your hand, my Apple Scruffs

While the years they come and go
Now, your love must surely show me
That beyond all time and space
We're together face to face, my Apple Scruffs

Apple Scruffs, Apple Scruffs
How I love you, how I love you

B A 
G                   G7
Watch out now, take care
          G#m     C#m
Beware of falling swingers
A             E        C#m G#m
Dropping all around you
                    C#m
The pain that often mingles
        D         A
In your fingertips
          B       B A G
Beware of darkness
G
Watch out now, take care
  G#m                       C#m
Beware of the thoughts that linger
A            E             C#m G#m
Winding up inside your head
                  C#m
The hopelessness around you
       D         A
In the dead of night
          B
Beware of sadness
       E
It can hit you
       D        A
It can hurt you
         F#m              Bm
Make you sore and what is more
        G                B7       B A
That is not what you are here for
G
Watch out now, take care
Beware of soft shoe shufflers
Dancing down the sidewalks
As each unconscious sufferer
Wanders aimlessly
Beware of Maya

Watch out now, take care
Beware of greedy leaders
They take you where you should not go
While Weeping Atlas Cedars
They just want to grow, grow and grow
Beware of darkness (beware of darkness)

In key of F. Capo on 5th fret

Operator, can you help me
Help me if you please
Give me the right area code
And the number that I need
My rider left upon the midnight flyer
Singing like a summer breeze

I think she's somewhere down south
Down about Baton Rouge
But I just can't remember no number
A number I can use
Directory don't have it, Central done forgot it
Got to find a number to use

Trying to check out her number
Trying to run down her line
Operator said that's privileged information
And it ain't no business of mine
It's flooding down in Texas,
the poles are down in Utah
Got to find a private line

She could be hanging round a steel mill
Working in a house of blue light
Riding a getaway bus out of Portland
Talking to the night
I don't know where she's going,
I don't care where she's been
As long as she's been doing it right

Em     G            C                    F#m7  B7

Sunny, thank you for the sunshine bouquet.
Em     G                 C                   F#m7  B7
Sunny, thank you for the love you brought my way.
Em                  G 
You gave to me your all and all.
C          F7
Now I feel ten feet tall.

Sunny, thank you for the truth you let me see.
Sunny, thank you for the facts from A to C.
My life was torn like a wind-blown sand,
And the rock was formed when you held my hand.
Sunny one so true, I love you.

[Same chords up a fret]
F#m ...
Sunny, thank you for the smile upon your face.

Mrs. Brown, you've got a lovely daughter
C        Em       Dm      G         C     Em,Dm,G
Girls as sharp as her are something rare

But it's sad, she doesn't love me now

She's made it clear enough, it ain't no good to pine

Even in a crowd, well
F#              Bb
You'll pick her out
F                  G
Makes a bloke feel so proud

If she finds that I've been 'round to see you ('round to see you)
Tell her that I'm well and feelin' fine (feelin' fine, ooh)
Don't let on, don't say she's broke my heart
I'd go down on my knees but it's no good to pine

Walkin' about
Even in a crowd, well
You'll pick her out
Makes a bloke feel so proud

C                            Am
My soul was a-swayin' to the beat of your heart
C                                Am
And your lips were sayin' that we won't dance apart
    F                                         C
Now someone else is holding you the way I did the-eh-eh eh en

But my arms discovered that the thrill wasn't there
    F                                         C
Unless my arms are holding you the way I did the-eh-eh eh en

           Bb                  G#           F#              G
'Cause my heart would break to see you take every step with him

I'll survive seein' ya sighin' on that shoulder of his
Oh how I've been cryin' knowin' how sweet that is
So while that guy is holding you the way I did the-eh-eh eh en

Woke up this mornin' feelin' fine
C                  F       C       C7
There's somethin' special on my mind
F                                           C 
Last night I met a new girl in the neighbourhood, whoa yeah
G                  F                  C
Somethin' tells me I'm into something good
(Somethin' tells me I'm into somethin')
C                 F          C       F
She's the kind of girl who's not too shy
C         F        C           C7
And I can tell I'm her kind of guy
F                                       C
She danced close to me like I hoped she would
(she danced with me like I hoped she would)
G                  F                   C
Somethin' tells me I'm into something good
(Somethin' tells me I'm into somethin')
G           
We only danced for a minute or two
             C           
But then she stuck close to me the whole night through
G             
Can I be fallin' in love
D
She's everything I've been dreamin' of
She's everything I've been dreamin' of

I walked her home and she held my hand
I knew it couldn't be just a one-night stand
So I asked to see her next week and she told me I could
(I asked to see her and she told me I could)
Somethin' tells me I'm into something good
(somethin' tells me I'm into somethin')
Somethin' tells me I'm into something good
(somethin' tells me I'm into somethin')
To something good, oh yeah, something good
(somethin' tells me I'm into somethin')
To something good, something good, something good

            G     D/F#
The road is long
            Em           Am7
With many a winding turn
     D     D#dim Em        F
That leads us to who knows where?
          Am7    D
Who knows where?
            G     D/F#
But I'm strong
                 Em    Eb
Strong enough to carry him
         G      Am7     D
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
Am7 D    G
So on we go
D/F#           Em         Am7
His welfare is my concern
   D  D#dim  Em    F
No burden is he to bear
      Am7     D
We'll get there
      G    D/F#
For I know
             Em       Fb
He would not encumber me
         G     Am7   
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

If I'm laden at all
I'm laden with sadness
That everyone's heart
Isn't filled with the gladness
Of love for one another

It's a long, long road
From which there is no return
While we're on the way to there
Why not share?
And the load
Doesn't weigh me down at all
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

Bus stop, wet day, she's there, I say
Please share my umbrella
Bus stop, bus goes, she stays, love grows
Under my umbrella

All that summer we enjoyed it
Wind and rain and shine
That umbrella, we employed it
By August, she was mine

Every morning I would see her waiting at the stop
Sometimes she'd shopped and she would show me what she bought
Other people stared as if we were both quite insane
Someday my name and hers are going to be the same

That's the way the whole thing started
Silly but it's true
Thinkin' of a sweet romance
Beginning in a queue

Came the sun the ice was melting
No more sheltering now
Nice to think that that umbrella
Led me to a vow

Every morning I would see her waiting at the stop
Sometimes she'd shopped and she would show me what she bought
Other people stared as if we were both quite insane
Someday my name and hers are going to be the same

Bus stop, wet day, she's there, I say
Please share my umbrella
Bus stop, bus goes, she stays, love grows
Under my umbrella

All that summer we enjoyed it
Wind and rain and shine
That umbrella, we employed it
By August, she was mine

F#m
Once upon a time there was a tavern
F                                 Bm  Bm6?
Where we used to raise a glass or two
Bm              F#m
Remember how we laughed away the hours
G#7                                       C#7
And think of all the great things we would do

C#+5       F#m9     F#m          
Those were the days my friend
F#                Bm
We thought they'd never end
              E7                  A
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
              Bm 
We'd live the life we choose
	       F#m
We'd fight and never lose
            C#7                        Fm
For we were young and sure to have our way

La la la la la la 
La la la la la la 
La la la la La la la la la la 

Then the busy years went rushing by us
We lost our starry notions on the way
If by chance I'd see you in the tavern
We'd smile at one another and we'd say

Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days
La la la la la la 
La la la la la la 
La la la la La la la la la la 

[Shifts up a half step]
Gm                              
Just tonight I stood before the tavern
G                  G7            Cm  Cm6
Nothing seemed the way it used to be
                     Gm
In the glass I saw a strange reflection
A                           D7
Was that lonely woman really me

D+5
Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days
La la la la la la 
La la la la la la 
La la la la La la la la la la 
la la la la la la 
La la la la la la 
La la la la La la la la la la 

Through the door there came familiar laughter
I saw your face and heard you call my name
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same

Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day

I dont wanna say good bye  for the Summer

Though we gotta say goodbye for the summer
Darling, I promise you this
I'll send you all my love, every day in a letter
Sealed with a kiss

Guess it's gonna be a cold, lonely summer
But I'll fill the emptiness
I'll send you all my dreams, every day in a letter
Sealed with a kiss

I'll see you in the sunlight, I'll hear your voice everywhere
I'll run to tenderly hold you but, Darlin' you won't be there

I don't wanna say goodbye for the summer
Knowing the love we'll miss
Oh, Let us make a pledge to meet in September
And seal it with a kiss

(instrumental)

Guess it's gonna be a cold, lonely summer
But I'll fill the emptiness
I'll send you all my dreams, every day in a letter
Sealed with a kiss, sealed with a kiss
Sealed with a kiss, sealed with a kiss

When will you realize... Vienna waits for you?

Slow down you're doing fine
You can't be everything you want to be before your time
Although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight (tonight)

Too bad, but it's the life you lead
You're so ahead of yourself that you for got what you need
Though you can see when you're wrong
You know you can't always see when you're right (you're right)

You got your passion, you got your pride
But don't you know that only fools are satisfied?
Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true (Oooh)
When will you realize... Vienna waits for you?

Slow down you crazy child
Take the phone off the hook and disappear for a while
It's alright, you can afford to lose a day or two (oooh)
When will you realize... Vienna waits for you?

And you know that when the truth is told
That you can get what you want or you can just get old
You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through (oooh)
Why don't you realize... Vienna waits for you?

When will you realize... Vienna waits for you?

Lazy Gilly was a flower child
All the summer
Calmly running wild
She'd be silly and her friends just smiled
Pass the bottle
Wash the pills down - what went wrong
What went wrong

She don't care no more
She don't need to fight it
She don't care no more
She gets paid on Friday

Cooler weather it's not cool to smile
Pretty colours
Going out of style
It ain't so bad when you get used to it
Once you clock in
You'll take any shit - all right
Ain't that right

She don't care no more
She don't need to fight it
She don't care no more
She gets paid on Friday

Monday morning
Friday's far away
Pray you'll make it
It's a magic day
Bells will ring and you'll go out to play
Spend your money
Pass the bottle
Friday rules
Friday rules OK

Ain't talking 'bout Monday
Ain't talking 'bout Tuesday
Ain't talking 'bout Wednesday
Ain't talking 'bout Thursday
I'm talking 'bout...

She don't care no more
She don't need to fight it
She don't care no more
She gets paid on Friday

She gets paid on Friday, Friday, Friday... 

Today, I feel like pleasing you
More than before
Today, I know what I want to do
But I don't know what for
To be living for you
Is all I want to do
To be loving you
It'll all be there
When my dreams come true

Today, you'll make me say
That I somehow have changed
Today, you'll look into my eyes
I'm just not the same
To be any more than all I am
Would be a lie
I'm so full of love
I could burst apart
And start to cry

Today, everything you want
I swear it all will come true
Today, I realize how much
I'm in love with you
With you standing here
I could tell the world
What it means to love
To go on from here
I can't use words
They don't say enough

Please, please listen to me
It's taken so long to come true
It's all for you, all for you

The summer had inhaled and held its breath too long
The winter looked the same as if it never had gone
And through an open window where no curtain hung
I saw you
I saw you
Comin' back to me

One begins to read between the pages of a look
The shape of sleepy music and suddenly you're hooked
Through the rain upon the trees that kisses on the run
I saw you
I saw you
Comin' back to me

You came to stay and live my way
Scatter my love like leaves in the wind
You always say you won't go away
But I know what it always has been
It always has been

A transparent dream beneath an occasional sigh
Most of the time I just let it go by
Now I wish it hadn't begun
I saw you
Yes I saw you
Comin' back to me

Strolling the hills overlooking the shore
I realize I've been here before
The shadow in the mist could have been anyone
I saw you
I saw you
Comin' back to me

Small things like reasons are put in a jar
Whatever happened to wishes, wished on a star?
Was it just something that I made up for fun?
I saw you
I saw you
Comin' back to me

You and your pussycat eyes!
You and your pussycat nose!

I saw the light on the night that I passed by her window
Am                                          E7
I saw the flickering shadows of love on her blind

She was my woman

But I was lost like a slave that no man could free
Am                                             E7
At break of day when that man drove away I was waiting
Am                                                   E7
I crossed the street to her house and she opened the door
A         A7     Dm
She stood there laughing
Am                     E7                      Am
I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more

My my my Delilah
Why why why Delilah
So before they come to break down the door
Forgive me Delilah I just couldn't take any more

She stood there laughing
I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more

My my my Delilah
Why why why Delilah
So before they come to break down the door
Forgive me Delilah I just couldn't take any more

Forgive me Delilah I just couldn't take any more

You won't see me follow you back home
    
The empty sidewalks on my block are not the same
You're not to blame
From deep inside the tears that I'm forced to cry
From deep inside the pain that I chose to hide
Just walk away Renee
You won't see me follow you back home
Now as the rain beats down upon my weary eyes
For me it cries
[Flute]
Just walk away Renee
You won't see me follow you back home
Now as the rain beats down upon my weary eyes
For me it cries
Your name and mine inside a heart upon a wall
Still finds a way to haunt me, though they're so small
Just walk away Renee
You won't see me follow you back home
The empty sidewalks on my block are not the same
You're not to blame

I had a date with a pretty ballerina
Her hair so brilliant that it hurt my eyes
I asked her for this dance and then she obliged me
Was I surprised, yeah
Was I surprised, no, not at all

I called her yesterday
It should have been tomorrow
I could not keep the joy that was inside
I begged for her to tell me if she really loved me
Somewhere a mountain is moving
Afraid it's moving without me

La la la laaaa

And when I wake on a dreary Sunday morning
I open up my eyes to find there's rain
And something strange within says, "Go ahead and find her
Just close your eyes, yeah
Just close your eyes, and she'll be there"
She'll be there
She'll be there

You've been treating me so bad

Seems as though a month ago I was Beta Chi
Never got high
Oh, I was a sorry guy
And now I smile and face the girl that shares my name
Now I'm through with the game
This boy'll never be the same

[Chorus]
Pisces Virgo rising is a very good sign
Strong and kind
And the little boy is mine
Now I see a family where there once was none
Now we've just begun
Yeah we're gonna fly to the sun

[Chorus]

Love the girl who holds the world in a paper cup
Drink it up
Love her and she'll bring ya luck
And if you find she helps your mind
Buddy, take her home
Don't ya live alone
Try to earn what lovers own

[Chorus]

For the great relief of having you to talk to


And now, a quarter of my life is almost passed
I think I've come to see myself at last
And I see that the time spent confused
Was the time that I spent without you
And I feel myself in gloom

So darling be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
My darling be home soon
It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to

So darling...
My darling be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
My darling be home soon
It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to

Go and beat your crazy head against the sky
Try and see beyond the houses and your eyes
It's OK to shoot the moon

Darling be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
My darling be home soon
It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to z

To Sir, with love

           D               A
That  I am leaving my best friend
Ab                     Dbm
A friend who taught me right from wrong

That's a lot to learn, what
      E             B     F#(7)
can I give you in return?
       B  
If you wanted the moon
        A
I would try to make a star
    B        A                         B
But I, would rather you let me give my heart

To Sir, with love

Got a feelin' that I'm wasting time on you babe;
Got a feelin' that you've been untrue.
I got a feelin' that you're stealin'
All the love I thought I was giving to you.
Baby, it's true.

Got a feelin' that you're playing some game with me babe;
Got a feelin' that you just can't see.
If you're entertaining any thought that you're gaining
By causing me all of this pain and making me blue
The joke's on you.

When I get to feeling that you're stealing love
And I don't know why, baby,
It makes me so discouraged
I finally get the courage not to cry, babe,
Or even try, babe.

Got a feelin' that I'm wasting time on you babe;
Got a feelin' that you've been untrue.
I got a feelin' that you're stealin'
All the love I thought I was giving to you.
Baby, it's true; the joke's on you.
Baby it's true; the joke's on you.

bath, she wets her hair,

Dippin' in the pocket of her raincoat,

It's just another day.

At the office where the papers grow she takes a break,
Drinks another coffee and she finds it hard to stay awake,

It's just another day,
Choo choo choo choo choo choo,
It's just another day,
Choo choo choo choo choo choo,
It's just another day.

Sometimes she feels so sad...

As she posts another letter to the sound of five,
People gather 'round her and she finds it hard to stay alive,

It's just another day,
Choo choo choo choo choo choo,
It's just another day,
Choo choo choo choo choo choo,
It's just another day.

So sad, so sad,
Sometimes she feels so sad,
Alone in her apartment she'd dwell,
'Til the man of her dreams comes to break the spell.

Ah... Stay,
Don't stand her up,
And he comes and he stays,
But he leaves the next day... so sad,
Sometimes she feels so sad.

Everyday she takes a morning bath, she wets her hair,
Wraps a towel 'round her as she's heading for the bedroom chair,
It's just another day.

Slippin' into stockings,
Steppin' into shoes,
Dippin' in the pocket of her raincoat,

Ah, It's just another day,
Choo choo choo choo choo choo,
It's just another day,
Choo choo choo choo choo choo,
It's just another day.

So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words, I don't just say
And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know

So close, no matter how far
It couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know

I never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words, I don't just say
And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they say
Never cared for games they play
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
And I know, yeah, yeah

So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
No, nothing else matters

If you're feeling sad and lonely
There's a service I can render
Tell the one who loves you only
I can be so warm and tender

[Hook]
Call me, don't be afraid, you can call me
Maybe it's late but just call me
Tell me and I'll be around

[Verse 2]
When it seems your friends desert you
There's somebody thinking of you
I'm the one who never hurt you
Maybe that's because I love you

[Hook]

[Verse 3]
Now don't forget me 'cause if you let me
I will always stay by you
You've got to trust me, that's how it must be
There's so much that I can do

[Hook]

Were you the one

You're a part of me

I'm a part of you

Love is only what we come to knew
The walking, breathing and all with you
A crystal passing reflected in our eyes
Eclipsing all the jealousy and lies

Look at me, can't you see it's true
You're a part of me
I'm a part of you

Quiet as the voices in a dream
Without two shadows the things i've seen
Remember the evening i let you walk away
Were you the one
Or is it we're the same

Look at me, i believe it's true
You're a part of me
I'm a part of you 

Too many teardrops for one heart to be cryin
Too many teardrops for one heart to carry on
Youre way on top now since you left me
Youre always laughin way down at me
But watch out now, I'm gonna get there
W'ell be together for just a little while
And then I'm gonna put you way down here
And you'll start cryin ninety-six tears
Cry, cry

And when the sun comes up, I'll be on top
You'll be right down there, lookin up
And I might wave, come up here
But I don't see you wavin now
I'm way down here, wonderin how
I'm gonna get you but I know now
I'll just cry, cry, Ill just cry

Too many teardrops for one heart to be cryin
Too many teardrops for one heart to carry on
Youre gonna cry ninety-six tears
Youre gonna cry ninety-six tears
Youre gonna cry, cry cry cry now
Youre gonna cry, cry, cry, cry
Ninety-six tears
C'mon and lemme hear you cry, now
Ninety-six tears, I wanna hear you cry
Night and day, yeah, all night long
Uh-ninety-six tears, cry cry cry
C'mon baby, let me hear you cry now, all night long
Uh ninety-six tears, yeah c'mon now
Uh-ninety-six tears

I don't want to hear it,
No more fussin' and fightin' baby,
Hold me tight.
Let's let bygones be bygones,
Let's think about tomorrow girl,
Our future's bright.
Well, I know I was wrong,
But, I was just a fool,
Too blind to see
You were the only girl for me.
Ah but now I see the light,
and everything's gonna be all right,
Baby, Hold me tight.

Everybody's talking at me
I don't hear a word they're saying
Only the echoes of my mind

People stopping, staring
I can't see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes

I'm going where the sun keeps shining
Through the pouring rain
Going where the weather suits my clothes

Banking off of the northeast winds
Sailing on a summer breeze
And skipping over the ocean like a stone

Wah, wah wah-wah wah
Wah-wah wah-wah, wah wah-wah
Wahhh

I'm going where the sun keeps shining
Through the pouring rain
Going where the weather suits my clothes

Banking off of the northeast winds
Sailing on a summer breeze
And skipping over the ocean like a stone

Everybody's talking at me
Can't hear a word they're saying
Only the echoes of my mind

I won't let you leave my love behind
No, I won't let you leave
Wah, wah
I won't let you leave my love behind

I knew a man Bojangles and he'd dance for you

In worn out shoes

He jumped so high, jumped so high
A                       D
Then he lightly touched down

I met him in a cell in New Orleans I was
down and out
He looked to me to be the eyes of age
as he spoke right out
He talked of life, talked of life, he laughed
clicked his heels and stepped

He said his name "Bojangles" and he danced a lick
across the cell
He grabbed his pants and spread his stance,
Oh he jumped so high and then he clicked his heels
He let go a laugh, let go a laugh
and shook back his clothes all around
Em    D        Em    D
Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles
Em    D        G
Mr. Bojangles, dance

He danced for those at minstrel shows and county fairs
throughout the south
He spoke through tears of 15 years how his dog and him
traveled about
The dog up and died, he up and died
And after 20 years he still grieves

He said I dance now at every chance in honky tonks
for drinks and tips
But most the time I spend behind these county bars
'cause I drinks a bit
He shook his head, and as he shook his head
I heard someone ask him please

Now I've got to know what is and isn't mine.

If you received my letter, tellin' you I'd soon be free,
G7                                Bbm6              C7

In a little while from now,
       F#m
If I'm not feeling any less sour,
   A7dim             B7
I promise myself to treat myself
     Em             Em9
and visit a nearby tower,
     Em             Em9        Em7/Bb              Em9/Bb
And climbing to the top  Will throw myself off
      D                   F#+
In an effort to  Make it clear to who-
      Bm                         Abm7/C
Ever what it's like when you're shattered,
       Bbm                        Bbdim
Left standing in the lurch  At a church
	       Eb Eb7     Abm
Where people, saying  "My God,

that's tough,  She's stood him up.
    Bm6 (2)       Bm6 (7)         Db6/Gb
No point in us remaining,  we may as well go home."
   Db6/Eb
As I did on my own,
  Bm6 (7)  Fdim/E  Db6/Gb
Alone again, Naturally.
    A (5)
It seems to me that there are
	     E (7)
more hearts broken in the world
	       Bm6  Fdim/E    F#m7    B7 (7)
That can't be mended  Left unattended;
	   Em
What do we do?
	   Em7/Bb   Db6/Gb  Db6/Eb
What do we do?
  Bm6      Fdim/E  Db6/Gb
Alone again, Naturally
  Bm6      Fdim/E  Db6/Gb
Alone again, Naturally.

Ooh, Jackie Blue
Lives her life from inside of her room
Hides a smile when she's wearin' a frown
Ooh, Jackie you're not so down

You like your life in a free-form style

Ooh, Jackie they've lost at sometime

Don't try to tell me that you're not aware
Of what you're doing and that you don't care
You say it's easy, just a natural thing
Like playing music, but you never sing

Ooh, Jackie Blue
Making wishes that never come true
Going places that you've never been
Ooh, Jackie Blue, you're going again

Ooh, Jackie Blue
Lives a dream that can never come true
Making love is like sifting through sand
Ooh, Jackie, it slips through your hand

Every day, in your indigo eyes
I watch the sunset but I don't see it rise
Moonlight and stars in your strawberry wine
You'd take the world but you won't take the time

Ooh-hoo-hoo, Jackie Blue
Lives her life from inside of a room
Makes you think that her life is a drag
Ooh Jackie, what fun you have had

Ooh, Jackie
Ooh, Jackie
Ooh, Jackie
Ooh, Jackie
Hey, hey, hey, hey

G                       
The old cat on the roof
C
He could stand a little push
Am              D                  G
'Cause he's got nine good lives to live

But like my Mama said
You only live till your dead
And you got to give and give and give

There's a pebble in a pond
Going on and on
Making waves and tides and ripples and rain
There's a leaf in the wind
That don't no where to end
Chasing days and waves and wishes and dreams

D                           G
Seems like everyone is out, looking for the sun
        C                G          D
Singing rain and pain on he who hesitates
D7 
But it'll shine when it shines
          G
You might think I'm wasting time
        C               D                     G
But I'm just a good old boy that's learned to wait

Wipperwil's in the Dawn
Pretty soon he'll be gone
But he's got one good song to sing
But like my Daddy said
It's in your heart not your head
And you've got to sing and sing and sing

There's a window in the wall
Looking out on it all
Leavin' fears and tears and troubles along
There's a fire in the stove
Keeping out the cold
Warming wine and winters and babies and homes

Seems like everyone is out looking for the sun
Singing rain and pain on he who hesitates
But it'll shine when it shines
You might think I'm wasting time
But I'm just a good old boy that's learned to wait
Yes I'm just a good old boy that's learned to wait

I never read it in a book, I never saw it on a show
But I heard it in the alley on a weird radio
If you want a drink of water, you got to get it from a well
If you wanna get to heaven, you got to raise a little hell

I never felt it in my feet, I've never felt it in my soul
But I heard it in the alley, now it's in my rock and roll
If you wanna know a secret, you got to promise not to tell
If you wanna get to heaven, you got to raise a little hell

I never thought it'd be so easy, I never thought it'd be so fun
But I heard it in the alley, now I got it on the run
If you wanna see an angel, you got to find it where it fell
If you wanna get the heaven, you got to raise a little hell

If you wanna get to heaven
If you wanna get to heaven
If you wanna get to heaven
If you wanna get to heaven 

D                 Em     
Well, she was an American girl
G         A
Raised on promises
D                 Em     
She couldn't help thinkin'
                 G                   A
That there was a little more to life somewhere else

                   D
After all it was a great big world  (E F#)
G                      Em
With lots of places to run to
A
And if she had to die tryin'
                                        G
She had one little promise she was gonna keep

O yeah, all right
D 
Take it easy, baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl

Well, it was kind of cold that night
She stood alone on her balcony
Yeah, she could hear the cars roll by
Out on 441 like waves crashin' on the beach

And for one desperate moment
he crept back in her memory
God it's so painful something that's so close
Is still so far out of reach

O yeah, all right
Take it easy, baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl

New born eyes always cry with pain
At the first look at the morning sun
You're a fool if you think it's over

I'll buy your first good wine
We'll have a real good time
Save your crying for the day
That may not come but anyone
Who had to pay would laugh at you and say

Fool if you think it's over
'Cos you said goodbye
Fool if you think it's over
I'll tell you why

Fm    
Girl, you thought you found the answer
On that magic carpet ride last night
But when you wake up in the mornin'
The world still gets you uptight

Well, there's nothin' that you ain't tried
To fill the emptiness inside
But when you come back down, girl
Still ain't feelin' right

And don't it seem like
Kicks just keep gettin' harder to find
And all your kicks ain't bringin' you peace of mind
Before you find out it's too late, girl
You better get straight

No, but not with kicks
You just need help, girl

Well you think you're gonna find yourself
A little piece of paradise
But it ain't happened yet
So girl, you better think twice

Don't you see, no matter what you do
You'll never run away from you
And if you keep on runnin'
You'll have to pay the price

And don't it seem like
Kicks just keep gettin' harder to find
And all your kicks ain't bringin' you peace of mind
Before you find out it's too late, girl
You better get straight

No, you don't need kicks
To help you face the world each day
That road goes nowhere
I'm gonna help you find yourself another way

Kicks just keep gettin' harder to find
(Oh, you don't need kicks, girl)
And all your kicks ain't bringin' you peace of mind
(You just need help, girl)
Before you find out it's too late, girl
You better get straight

And don't it seem like
Kicks just keep gettin' harder to find
(Oh, you don't need kicks, girl)
And all your kicks ain't bringin' you peace of mind
(You just need help, girl)
Before you find out it's too late, girl
You better get straight

Whenever I am away from you
My alibi is tellin' people I don't care for you
Maybe I'm just hanging around
With my head up, upside down
It's a pity

Who's as pretty 'n' lovely as you
How can I be sure
I really, really, really, wanna kno-o-ow
I really, really, really, wanna kno-o-ow

How's the weather?
Weather or not, we're together
Together we'll see it much better

You know where I can be found
How can I be sure
In a world that's constantly changing?
How can I be sure?
I'll be sure with you.

You....Uhhhhhh......Nobody but you.
I don't know what it's all about.
I can't begin to figure out what to do so I leave it to you.
Only know that when you're away from me,
Nothin' satisfies the need in me,
For a girl like (I'm in love with)
A girl like you. (I'm in love with)
Must be you that caused this feelin' in me. (Must be you.)
You that fills me confidently, (Must be you.)
You that brings out the best in me.
You.... Nobody, nobody, Oh, Yeah!
Every time I'm holdin' you close to me,
Trouble's gone, it's gone, I'm in ecstasy.

Everything gonna turn out right.
I've been lonely too long. (He's been lonely too long).
I've been lonely too long. (He's been lonely.)

Now look at me
Gliding through this world of beauty
Everything I do brings ecstasy, Oh, Yeah!
No wonder I could die
I feel like I'm 'bout ten miles high!
I've been lonely too long. (He's been lonely too long.)
Lonely too long. (He's been lonely.)

Found myself somebody. (He's been lonely)
Don't have to be alone no more. (He's been lonely, He's been lonely.)
Don't have to alone no more, no more. (He's been lonely, He's been
lonely.)

First wound of pride and how you cried and cried
But save your tears you've got years and years

Wastin' time

I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
'Cause I've had nothing to live for
And look like nothing's gonna come my way

Sittin' here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone, listen
Two thousand miles I roam
Just to make this dock my home, now

I'm just gon' sit at the dock of a bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

And if we're the victims of the night
I won't be blinded by light

Just call me angel of the morning, Angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby
Just call me angel of the morning, Angel
Then slowly turn away...
I won't beg you to stay... with me...
Through the tears... of the day....

Just call me angel of the morning, Angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby
Just call me angel of the morning, Angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby....

Who's that I see walkin' in these woods?
Why, it's Little Red Riding Hood.

Hey there Little Red Riding Hood,
A
You sure are looking good.
C                   B7                 Em   B7B7B7B7B.
You're everything a big bad wolf could want.
Listen to me.

Little Red Riding Hood
I don't think little big girls should
Go walking in these spooky old woods alone.
Owoooooooo!

What big eyes you have,
The kind of eyes that drive wolves mad.
So just to see that you don't get chased
I think I ought to walk with you for a ways.

What full lips you have.
They're sure to lure someone bad.
So until you get to grandma's place
I think you ought to walk with me and be safe.

I'm gonna keep my sheep suit on
Until I'm sure that you've been shown
That I can be trusted walking with you alone.
Owoooooooo!

Little Red Riding Hood
I'd like to hold you if I could
But you might think I'm a big bad wolf so I won't.
Owoooooooo!

What a big heart I have-the better to love you with.
Little Red Riding Hood
Even bad wolves can be good.
I'll try to be satisfied just to walk close by your side.
Maybe you'll see things my way before we get to grandma's place.

Little Red Riding Hood
You sure are looking good
You're everything that a big bad wolf could want.
Owoooooooo! I mean baaaaaa! Baaa?

Listening to the wind of change
  C              Dm                      C
An August summer night, soldiers passing by
                 Dm      Am     G
Listening to the wind of change

[Verse 2]
The world is closing in
And did you ever think
That we could be so close like brothers?
The future's in the air, I can feel it everywhere
Blowing with the wind of change
[Chorus]
C    G         Dm          
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away (Dream away)
In the wind of change
Hmm

[Verse 3]
Walking down the street
And distant memories are buried in the past forever
I follow the Moskva and down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
[Chorus]
Take me (Take me) to the magic of the moment
On a glory night (A glory night)
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams (share their dreams)
With you and me (You and me)

Take me (Take me) to the magic of the moment
On a glory night (A glory night)
Where the children of tomorrow dream away (Dream away)
In the wind of change (The wind of change)

[Bridge]
The wind of change blows straight into the face of time
Like a storm wind that will ring the freedom bell
For peace of mind
Let your balalaika sing what my guitar wants to say (say)

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Take me (Take me) to the magic of the moment
On a glory night (A glory night)
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams (Share their dreams)
With you and me (You and me)

Take me (Take me) to the magic of the moment
On a glory night (A glory night)
Where the children of tomorrow dream away (Dream away)
In the wind of change (Wind of change)

A bottle of Love Potion #9"

She bent down and turned around
And gave me a wink

She said I'm gonna make it up
Right here in the sink
Dm
It smelled like turpentine

And looked like India ink
E7
I held my nose
I closed my eyes
I took a drink
Am
I didn't know if it was day or night
I started kissing everything in sight
But when I kissed a cop
Down at 34th and Vine
He broke my little bottle of
Love Potion #9

She bent down and turned around
And gave me a wink
She said I'm gonna make it up
Right here in the sink
It smelled like turpentine
And looked like India ink
I held my breath and closed my eyes
I took a drink

I didn't know if it was day or night
I started kissin' everything in sight
But when I kissed a cop
Down on 34th and Vine
He broke my little bottle of
Love Potion #9
Love Potion #9
Love Potion #9

Won't you come see about me?
I'll be alone, dancing, you know it baby
Tell me your troubles and doubts
Giving me everything inside and out

Love's strange, so real in the dark
Think of the tender things that we were working on
Slow change may pull us apart
When the light gets into your heart, baby

Don't you forget about me
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't you forget about me

Will you stand above me
Look my way, never love me?
Rain keeps falling
Rain keeps falling
Down, down, down

Will you recognize me
Call my name or walk on by?
Rain keeps falling
Rain keeps falling
Down, down, down

Don't you try and pretend
It's my beginning we'll win in the end
I won't harm you or touch your defenses
Vanity, insecurity

Don't you forget about me
I'll be alone, dancing, you know it, baby
Going to take you apart
I'll put us back together at heart, baby

Don't you forget about me
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't you forget about me

As you walk on by
Will you call my name?
As you walk on by
Will you call my name?
When you walk away

Oh, will you walk away?
Will walk away
Oh, call my name
Will you call my name?

When you walk away
And you call my name
When you walk away

My eyes will look so pretty
No one's gonna know I cried
Yes I'm goin' away,

                       F7
Darling, I get lonely, too.
          Eb                           F
So if you need me, all you gotta do is call me.
You're only lonely

I remember Sunday morning
Em               A
I would meet him at the park
     D             Bm
We'd walk together hand in hand

'Til it was almost dark

Now I wake up Sunday morning
Em              A
Walk across the way to find

Nobody waiting for me

I've lost my Sunday song
      Em          Asus4 A
He'll not be back again

Sunny afternoons
That make me feel so warm inside
Have turned as cold and gray as ashes
As I feel the embers die
No longer can I walk these paths
For they have changes
I must be home. The sun is gone
And I think it's gonna rain

Sunday will never be the same
(Sunday will never be the same)
I've lost my Sunday song
He'll not be back again

I remember children
Feeding flocks of pigeons
I remember sunshine
And you were mine

Sunday will never be the same
(Sunday will never be the same)
I've lost my Sunday song
He'll not be back again

Sunday will never be the same
Sunday will never be the same
Sunday will never be the same

I walk around
I can't hear a sound, folks talkin' loud, but I
Don't see at all
I gotta get away, gotta get away, I don't
Know where to go
It's hopeless, so
I guess I'll leave it alone 

Well, I spent all the day
Fixin' up to go somewhere
Thought I was late
And I found she wasn't there

I guess I'll find
The love, peace of mind, some other time, but I
Still have today
I gotta get away, gotta get away, I don't
Know where to go
It's hopeless, so
I guess I'll leave it alone

Games people play
Night or day, they're just not matching
What they should do
Keeps me feelin' blue

Been down too long
Right, wrong, I just can't stop it
Spending all day
Thinking just of you

12:45
Headed for the subway home
I took my time
'Cause I felt so all alone

Not far away
I heard a funny sound, took a look around, and I
Could see her face
Smilin' as she came, callin' out my name, so I
Know where to go
We'll take it slow
I guess I'll call it a day

Games people play
Night or day, they're just not matching
What they should do
Keeps me feeling blue

Been down too long
Right, wrong, I just can't stop it
Spending all day
Thinking just of you

Not far away
I heard a funny sound, took a look around, and I
Could see her face
Smiling as she came, callin' out my name, so I

I got you - and that's all I want
I won't forget - that's a whole lot
I don't go out - not now that you're in
Sometimes we shout - but that's no problem

I don't know why sometimes I get frightened
You can see my eyes, you can tell that I'm not lyin'

Look at you - you're a pageant
You're everything - that I've imagined
Something's wrong - I feel uneasy
Reassure me - tell me you're not teasing

I don't know why sometimes I get frightened
You can see my eyes, you can tell that I'm not lyin'
I don't know why sometimes I get frightened
You can see my eyes, can you tell me you're not lyin'

There's no doubt - not when I'm with you
When I'm without - I stay in my room
Where do you go - I get no answer
You're always out - it gets on my nerves

I don't know why sometimes I get frightened
You can see my eyes, you can tell that I'm not lying
But I don't know why sometimes I get frightened
You can see my eyes, can you tell me you're not lyin'
I don't know why sometimes I get frightened
You can see my eyes, you can tell that I'm not lying

I thank the Lord for love like ours that grows ever stronger
And I always will be true
I know you feel the same way too
Oh, I love you more today than yesterday
But not as much as tomorrow
I love you more today than yesterday
But only half as much as tomorrow
Every day's a new day, every time I love ya
Every way's a new way, every time I love ya
Every day's a new day, every time I love ya

Now don't tell me I've nothing to do

Last night I dressed in tails pretended I was on the town
As long as I can dream it's hard to slow this swinger down
So please don't give a thought to me I'm really doin' fine
You can always find me here I'm havin' quite a time

Countin' flowers on the wall that don't bother me at all
Playin' solitaire till dawn with a deck of fifty one

Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo
Now don't tell me I've nothing to do

It's good to see you I must go I know I look a fright
Anyway my eyes are not accustomed to this light
And my shoes are not accustomed to this hard concrete
So I must go back to my room and make my day complete

Countin' flowers on the wall that don't bother me at all
Playin' solitaire till dawn with a deck of fifty one
Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo
Now don't tell me I've nothing to do
Don't tell me I've nothing to do

I bought a toothbrush, some toothpaste
A flannel for my face
Pajamas, a hairbrush
New shoes and a case
I said to my reflection
"Let's get out of this place"

Passed the church and the steeple
The laundry on the hill
Billboards and the buildings
Memories of it still
Keep calling and calling
But forget it all, I know I will

Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
What's been going on
Now that you have gone
There's no other
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered

I'm at the car park, the airport
The baggage carousel
(The people keep on grindin')
Ain't wishing I was well
I said it's no occasion
(It's no story I could tell)

At my bedside empty pocket
A foot without a sock
Your body gets much closer
I fumble for the clock
Alarmed by the seduction
I wish that it would stop

Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
What's been going on
Now that you have gone
There's no other
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered

I bought a novel, some perfume
A fortune all for you
But it's not my conscience
That hates to be untrue
I asked of my reflection
Tell me what is there to do?

Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
What's been going on
Now that you have gone
There's no other
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered

Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered

Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered

There's a [C]stain on my notebook where your coffee cup was
And there's ash in the pages now I've got myself lost
I was writing to tell you that my feelings tonight
Are a stain on my notebook that rings your goodbye

Oh, now she's gone and I'm back on the beat
A stain on my notebook says nothing to me
Oh, now she's gone and I'm out with a friend
With lips full of passion and coffee in bed

With the way that you left me I can hardly contain
The hurt and the anger and the joy of the pain
Now knowing I am single they'll be fire in my eyes
A stain on my notebook for a new love tonight

Oh, now she's gone and I'm back on the beat
A stain on my notebook says nothing to me
Oh, now she's gone and I'm out with a friend
With lips full of passion and coffee in bed

Oh, now she's gone and I'm out with a friend
With lips full of passion and coffee in bed

From the lips without passion to the lips with a kiss
There's nothing of your love that I'll ever miss
The stain on my notebook remains all that's left
Of the memory of late nights and coffee in bed
Of the memory of late nights and coffee in bed

Now she's gone and I'm back on the beat
Oh, a stain on my notebook says nothing to me
Oh, now she's gone and I'm out with a friend
With lips full of passion and coffee in bed

Now she's gone, I'm back on the beat
A stain on my notebook says nothing to me
Now she's gone, I'm back on the beat
A stain on my notebook says nothing to me
Oh coffee in bed, coffee in bed

Black coffee in bed
Black coffee in bed
Black coffee in bed

I'll always remember you like a child, girl

You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do
And it's breakin' my heart in two
Because I never wanna see you sad girl
Don't be a bad girl
But if you wanna leave, take good care
Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware, beware

Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
I'll always remember you like a child, girl

Baby, I love you
But if you wanna leave, take good care
Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware, beware

Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
I'll always remember you like a child, girl

Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
And I'll always remember you like a child, girl 

Let me tell you what I want to say
You're the only one who can make me feel this way
My kind of lady
No better love could I embrace
No better heart, no other face
Can quite compare with you
You came along and then you mend my broken dreams
I was so down and then as foolish as it seems
You gave me your affection
Yeh baby you came through
We'll make it you'll see
In spite of those who say it's wrong
This time we feel that we belong
Now we can truly say
We'll be together and that's all we'll ever need
We'll love eachother, that's the way it's gonna be
And nothin' under the sun of moon
Can make us be apart
Oh my honey
You know I'll love you every day
When things go wrong we'll find a way
I'm so glad I met you
Much more than I can ever say
We're making plans and holding hands just like before
We'll try again, we'll make amends along the road
It's fellin' good, just like it should, this time we know
We'll share eachother's happiness for now and evermore
I've been wastin' my life away
I've got a message for you today
To tell you that you are
My kind of lady
I'm not the same since I met you
All of my dreams had fallen through
And then you came along
One magic night when things went right it was so fine
Looked in your eyes and realized that you were mine
And nothin' under the sun of moon
Can make us be apart
Oh my baby
You know I'll love you all the way
When times get hard we'll smile and say
I'm so glad I met you
I'll love you more and more each day
We're making plans and holding hands just like before
We'll try again, we'll make amends along the road
It's fellin' good, just like it should, this time we know
We'll share eachother's happiness for now and evermore

My world is empty without you, baby
My world is empty without you, baby

And as I go my way alone
I find it hard for me to carry on
I need your strenght
I need your tender touch
I need the love, my dear
I miss so much

My world is empty without you, baby
My world is empty without you, baby

From this old world
I try to hide my face
From this loneliness
There's no hiding place
Inside this cold and empty house I dwell
In darkness with memories
I know so well

I need love know
More then before
I can hardly 
Carry on anymore

My world is empty without you, babe
Without you, babe
(My world is empty) without you, babe

My mind and soul 
Have felt like this
Since love between us
No more exist
And each time that darkness falls
It finds me alone
With these four walls

My world is empty without you, babe
Without you, babe
(My world is empty) without you, babe

Without you, babe
Without you, babe

The way you've gotten over me, hey

Set me free, why don't cha, baby
Let me be, why don't cha, baby
'Cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hangin' on
Now you don't really want me
You just keep me hangin' on

You say although we broke up
You still wanna be just friends
But how can we still be friends
When seein' you only breaks my heart again
And there ain't nothin' I can do about it

Woo, set me free, why don't cha, baby
Woo, get out my life, why don't cha, baby
Set me free, why don't cha, baby
Get out my life, why don't cha, baby

You claim you still care for me
But your heart and soul needs to be free
Now that you've got your freedom
You wanna still hold on to me
You don't want me for yourself
So let me find somebody else, hey

Why don't you be a man about it
And set me free
Now you don't care a thing about me
You're just using me

Go on, get out, get out of my life
And let me sleep at night
'Cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hangin' on

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
Just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothing seems to fit
Oh, raindrops keep fallin' on my head
Keep a-fallin'

Cause I just done me some talking to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way he got things done
Sleeping on the job
Oh, raindrops keep fallin' on my head
Keep a-fallin'

But there's one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me
Won't defeat me
It won't be long till happiness
Comes up to greet me
To greet greet greet greet me

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turning red
Crying's not for me
Cause I ain't gonna stop the rain by complaining

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turning red
Crying's not for me
Cause I ain't gonna stop the rain by complaining

Because I'm free
Nothing's bothering me
Because I'm free
Nothing's bothering me
Because I'm free
Nothing's bothering me
Because I'm free
Nothing's bothering me

He sounds too blue to fly

The midnight train is whining low

And I'm so lonesome I could cry

Did you ever see a night so long
When time goes crawlin' by?
The moon just went behind a cloud
And I'm so lonesome I could cry

Did you ever see a robin weep
When leaves begin to die?
That means he's lost the will to live
And I'm so lonesome I could cry

The silence of a fallin' star
Lights up a purple sky
And as I wonder where you are
I'm so lonesome I could cry

Yeah I-I could cry-eye-eye
I could cry-eye, eye-eye-eye, I-I could cry-eye
I could cry-eye, oh-oh-oh-oh
I-I could cry, I could cry

    G       Bm   Em      D
The silence of a falling star

Lights up a purple sky

And as I wonder where you are

Am7                  Bm7             E7
Whenever I need to leave it all behind
Am7                  Bm7             E7
Or feel the need to get away
Am7sus4               A7
I find a quiet place, far from the human race
Am7        D9
Out in the country

G          D/C              Bm7
Before the breathin' air is gone
Am7        G      D/F#   C/E                D
Before the sun is just a bright spot in the nighttime
G          D/C              Bm7
Out where the rivers like to run
Am7        G      D/F#   C/E                D         A  C D
I stand alone and take back somethin' worth rememberin'

Whenever I feel them closing in on me
Or need a bit of room to move
When life becomes too fast, I find relief at last
Out in the country

Before the breathin' air is gone
Before the sun is just a bright spot in the nighttime
Out where the rivers like to run
I stand alone and take back somethin' worth rememberin'

Before the breathin' air is gone
Before the sun is just a bright spot in the nighttime
Out where the rivers like to run
I stand alone and take back somethin' worth rememberin'

Before the breathin' air is gone
Before the sun is just a bright spot in the nighttime
Out where the rivers like to run
I stand alone and take back somethin' worth rememberin'

Before the breathin' air is gone
Before the sun is just a bright spot in the nighttime

D               Em
I feel it in my fingers
F         G     D
I feel it in my toes
D            Em
Love is all around me
G       
And so the feeling grows
It is written on the wind
Thats everywhere I go
So if you really love me
Come on and let it show
You know I love you
I always will
My mind's maid up
By the way that I feel
There's no beginning
There be no end
Cause on my love
You can depend
I see your face before me
As I lay on my bed
I kind a get to thinking
Of all the things we said
You gave your promise to me
And I gave mine to you
I need someone beside me
In everything I do
You know I love you
I always will
My mind's maid up
By the way that I feel
There's no beginning
There be no end
Cause on my love
You can depend
It is written on the wind
Thats everywhere I go
So if you really love me
Come on and let it show
Come on and let it show
Come on and let it show
Come on and let it show
Come on and let it show
Come on and let it show
Come on and let it show
Come on and let it show

You left in the rain without closing the door

I didn't stand in your way

But I miss you more than I missed you before
And now where I'll find comfort, God knows
'Cause you left me just when I needed you most
Left me just when I needed you most

Now most every morning, I stare out the window
And I think about where you might be
I've written you letters that I'd like to send
If you would just send one to me

'Cause I need you more than I needed before
And now where I'll find comfort, God knows
'Cause you left me just when I needed you most
Left me just when I needed you most

You packed in the morning, I stared out the window
And I struggled for something to say
You left in the rain without closing the door
I didn't stand in your way

Now I love you more than I loved you before
And now where I'll find comfort, God knows
'Cause you left me just when I needed you most
Oh yeah, you left me just when I needed you most
You left me just when I needed you most

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
    Em
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger
        C                                Am
May you never take one single breath for granted
    C                                Dsus4
God forbid love ever leave you empty-handed
           C                         D                G
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean

Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens

Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
           Em     C  G          D
I hope you dance,    I hope you dance

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Livin' might mean takin' chances but they're worth takin'
Lovin' might be a mistake but it's worth makin'

Don't let some hell-bent heart leave you bitter
When you come close to sellin' out reconsider
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

I hope you dance, I hope you dance
I hope you dance, I hope you dance

(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along
Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone)

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

Dance, I hope you dance
I hope you dance, I hope you dance
I hope you dance, I hope you dance

(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along
Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone)

This song is one of the more simple Stevie Wonder-songs, like "I Wish" and
"Superstition".
It is based around this 2-bar main groove, part "A", and it always returns
to this starting point.
"B" is also more or less just "A" modulated up two semi-tones.

It's hard to tell whether all the Eb7-chords are minor or major. Most of
the time they're neither, hence the (no3), but the 3rd is often thrown in
as a little spice, both minor and major.



 A:
||: Eb7(no3)  Gb Ab | Eb7(no3)  Gb Ab :||


 B:
| F7+9 | F7+9 | Ab7 | Db9 |


 C:

 LYRICS
**********
People keep on learnin'
Soldiers keep on warrin'
World keep on turnin'
'Cause it won't be too long

Powers keep on lyin'
While your people keep on dyin'
World keep on turnin'
'Cause it won't be too long

I'm so darn glad he let me try it again
'Cause my last time on earth I lived a whole world of sin
I'm so glad that I know more than I knew then
Gonna keep on tryin'
Till I reach my highest ground

Lovers keep on lovin'
Believers keep on believin'
Sleepers just stop sleepin'
'Cause it won't be too long

I'm so glad that he let me try it again
'Cause my last time on earth I lived a whole world of sin
I'm so glad that I know more than I knew then
Gonna keep on tryin'
Till I reach my highest ground

Till I reach my highest ground
No one's gonna bring me down
Till I reach my highest ground
Don't you let nobody bring you down (they'll sho 'nuff try)
God is gonna show you higher ground
He's the only friend you have around
'Cause the rest of the world will bring you down       

Dm                G
Sick at heart and lonely,
Bb              Dm
Deep in dark despair.
Dm                   G
Thinking one thought only
Bb                   Dm
Where is she tell me where.
Dm              G
And if she says to you
Bb             Dm
She don't love me
Dm               G
Just give her my message
Bb             Dm
Tell her of my plea

      Dm          F      G    Dm
And I know if she had me back again
             Bb    F        Dm
Well I would never make her sad.
           A    G               Dm
I've gotta heart------- full of soul.

She's been gone such a long time
Longer than I can bear
But if she says she wants me
Tell her that I'll be there
And if she says to you
She don't love me
Just give her my message
Tell her of my plea. 

(For your love)

That makes you want to play this game

Hello, woman of my dreams
This is not the way it seems
Purple words on a grey background
To be a woman and to be turned down

Old enough now to change your name

That makes you want to play this game

This much madness is too much sorrow.
It's impossible to make it today.

She could drag me over the rainbow,
Send me away.

Down by the river,
I shot my baby.

Dead, dead, ooh, ooh, shot her dead, shot her dead.

It is the night of our dear Saviour's birth.

'Til He appear'd and the soul felt its worth.

O night divine, O night when Christ was born;
  C
O night divine, O night, O night Divine.

Led by the light of Faith serenely beaming,
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming,
Here come the wise men from Orient land.
The King of Kings lay thus in lowly manger;
In all our trials born to be our friend.

He knows our need, to our weakness is no stranger,
Behold your King! Before Him lowly bend!
Behold your King, Before Him lowly bend!

Truly He taught us to love one another;
His law is love and His gospel is peace.
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother;
And in His name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
Let all within us praise His holy name.

Christ is the Lord! O praise His Name forever,
His power and glory evermore proclaim.
His power and glory evermore proclaim.

G                                             C
Dashing through the snow, in a one-horse open sleigh
Am                 D   D7               G
Over the fields we go, laughing all the way
G                                      C
Bells on bob-tail ring, making spirits bright
Am                G               D         D7      G
What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight

G                                  D       G
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
C                   G         A7             D   D7 
O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh
G                                  D       G
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way

O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh

G                                      C
A day or two ago, I thought I'd take a ride
Am                  D           D7           G
And soon miss fanny bright, was seated by my side
G                                                  C
The horse was lean and lank, misfortune seemed his lot
Am            G                   D     D7      G
He got into a drifted bank and we got up       set


Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh

A day or two ago, the story I must tell
I went out on the snow, and on my back I fell
A gent was riding by, in a one-horse open sleigh
He laughed as there I sprawling lie but quickly drove away

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh

Now the ground is white, go it while you're young
Take the girls tonight, and sing this sleighing song
Just get a bob-tailed bay, two-forty as his speed
Hitch him to an open sleigh and crack, you'll take the lead

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh

Said the night wind to the little lamb,
Do you see what I see
Way up in the sky, little lamb,
Do you see what I see
A star, a star, dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite
With a tail as big as a kite

Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy,
Do you hear what I hear
Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy,
Do you hear what I hear
A song, a song, high above the trees
With a voice as big as the sea
With a voice as big as the sea

Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king,
Do you know what I know
In your palace warm, mighty king,
Do you know what I know
A Child, a Child shivers in the cold
Let us bring Him silver and gold
Let us bring Him silver and gold

Said the king to the people everywhere,
Listen to what I say
Pray for peace, people everywhere!
Listen to what I say
The Child, the Child, sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light
He will bring us goodness and light

And pres-ents on       the tree

Christmas eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
Oh, I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams

My darling, Christmas eve will find me
Right where the love light gleams
And I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
If only in my dreams

that your Baby Boy has walked where angels trod?
      Dm7                      Esu4
When you kiss your little Baby you kissed the face of God?

Mary did you know. Ooo Ooo Ooo

The blind will see.
The deaf will hear.
The dead will live again.
The lame will leap.
The dumb will speak
The praises of The Lamb.

Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy is Lord of all creation?
Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy would one day rule the nations?
Did you know
that your Baby Boy is heaven's perfect Lamb?
The sleeping Child you're holding is the Great, I Am.

Merry Christmas   to you

Just hear those sleigh bells jingle-ing
Ring ting tingle-ing too
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you

Outside the snow is falling
And friends are calling "You Hoo"
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you

Giddy-yap giddy-yap giddy-yap let's go
Let's look at the snow
We're riding in a wonderland of snow

Giddy-yap giddy-yap giddy-yap it's grand
Just holding your hand
We're gliding along with the song
Of a wintry fairy land

Our cheeks are nice and rosy
And comfy cozy are we
We're snuggled up together like two
Birds of a feather would be

Let's take the road before us
And sing a chorus or two
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you

There's a birthday party at the home of Farmer Gray
It'll be the perfect ending of a perfect day
We'll be singing the songs we love to sing without a single stop
At the fireplace while we watch the chestnuts pop
Pop! Pop! Pop!

There's a happy feeling nothing in the world can buy
When they pass around the coffee and the pumpkin pie
It'll nearly be like a picture print by Currier and Ives
These wonderful things are the things
We remember all through our lives
