He Said To Me Why Don’t You Run I See You Ain’t Got Any Gun

He Said To Me Why Don’t You Run I See You Ain’t Got Any Gun

And So I Ran Away From There But Right Behind Me Was That Bear…

Ahead Of Me There Was A Tree A Great Big Tree Oh Glory Be…

The Nearest Branch Was Ten Feet Up Id Have To Jump And Trust My Luck…

So I Jumped Up In The Air But I missed That Branch Oh Way Up There…

Now Don't You Fret Now Don't You Frown Cuz I Caught That Branch On The Way Back Down…

This The End There Ain’t No More Until I Meet That Bear Once More…

Country Roads

A F#m

Almost heaven, West Virginia,

E D A

Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River.

F#m

Life is old there, older than the trees,

E D A

Younger than the mountains, growin' like a breeze.

Chorus:

A E F#m D

Country roads, take me home, To the place I belong:

A E D A

West Virginia, mountain momma, Take me home, country roads.

A F#m

All my mem'ries, gather 'round her,

E D A

Miner's lady, stranger to blue water.

F#m

Dark and dusty, painted on the sky,

E D A

Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye.

Chorus

F#m E A

I hear her voice, in the mornin' hours she calls me,

D A E

The radio reminds me of my home far away.

F#m G

And drivin' down the road,

D A E E7

I get a feelin' that I should have been home yesterday, yesterday.

Chorus

Down in the Valley

G D7

Down in the valley, the valley so low

G

Hang your head over, hear the winds blow

D7

Hear the winds blow, dear, hear the winds blow

G

Hang your head over, hear the winds blow

Roses love sunshine, violets love dew

Angels in heaven know I love you

Know I love you, dear, know I love you

Angels in heaven know I love you

4b

Writing this letter, containing three lines

Answer my question, "Will you be mine?"

"Will you be mine, dear, will you be mine"

Answer my question, "Will you be mine?"

If you don't love me, love whom you please

Throw your arms round me, give my heart ease

Give my heart ease, dear, give my heart ease

Throw your arms round me, give my heart ease

Throw your arms round me, before it's too late

Throw your arms round me, feel my heart break

Feel my heart break, dear, feel my heart break

Throw your arms round me, feel my heart break

Gee Mom, I Wanna Go Home

Chorus:

F C

Oh, I don't want no more of camping life

G

Gee Mom I want to go

G

But they won't let me go

G C

Gee Mom I want to go home

/ C - / G7 - / G7 - / C - /

They say that when you're camping,

the bugs have gone away

But every time you inhale

there's something in your way!


the swimming's mighty fine

You step into the water,

it shrivels up your spine!


the boats are mighty fine

You sail a hundred miles

and swim back ninety nine!

The tents they have for camping,

they say they're mighty neat

But when you go inside them,

they smell like stinky feet!

They say here at camp

the bugs are mighty fine

One flew into the tent last night

and squashed a friend of mine.

Happy Trails

C G7

Happy trails to you until we meet again

C

Happy trails to you keep smiling until then

F

Who cares about the clouds when we're together

A7 D7 G7

Just sing a song and bring the sunny weather

C A7 Dm G7 C

Happy trails to you till we meet a-gain

The Happy Wanderer

A E7

I love to go a-wandering along the mountain track,

E7 A D E7 A

And as I go, I love to sing, my knapsack on my back.

Chorus:

E7 A

Val-deri,Val-dera,

E7 A D A

Val-deri,Val-de-ra-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

E7 A

Val-deri,Val-dera

D E7 A

My knapsack on my back.

I love to wander by the stream

That dances in the sun,

So joyously it calls to me,

"Come! Join my happy song!"

I wave my hat to all I meet,

And they wave back to me,

And blackbirds call so loud and sweet

From ev'ry green wood tree.

High overhead, the skylarks wing,

They never rest at home

But just like me, they love to sing,

As o'er the world we roam.

Oh, may I go a-wandering

Until the day I die!

Oh, may I always laugh and sing,

Beneath God's clear blue sky!

5b

Home on the Range

D G Gm

Oh give me a home where the buffalo roam,

D E7 A7

Where the deer and the antelope play.

D G Gm

Where seldom is heard a discouraging word,

D A7 D

And the skies are not cloudy all day.

(CHORUS)

D A7 D

Home, home on the range,

Bm E7 A7

Where the deer and the antelope play.

D G Gm

Where seldom is heard a discouraging word,

D A7 D


Oh, give me a land where the bright diamond sand

Flows leisurely down the stream;

Where the graceful white swan goes gliding along

Like a maid in a heavenly dream.

How often at night when the heavens are bright

With the light of the glittering stars,

Have I stood here amazed and asked as I gazed

If their glory exceeds that of ours.

Then I would not exchange my home on the range,

Where the deer and the antelope play;

Where seldom is heard a discouraging word


5c

Oh Shenandoah

D G D

Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you,

G D

Away, you rolling river

G A Bm G

Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you

D F#m Bm A D

Away, I'm bound away, cross the wide Missouri

Oh, Shenandoah, I love your daughter...

Oh, Shenandoah, I'm bound to leave you...

Oh, Shenandoah, I'll not deceive you...

For seven years, I've been a rover...

But I'll return to be your lover...

Oh, Shenandoah, I long to see you...

Smokey the Bear

C

With a Ranger's hat and shovel and a pair of dungarees you will

Am D7 G7

find him in the forest always sniffin' at the breeze. People

C C7 F D7

stop and pay attention when he tells 'em to beware, 'cause

C Am D7 G7 C

everybody knows that he's the fire-preventin' bear.

Chorus:

F C F C

Smokey the Bear, Smokey the Bear. Prowlin' and a Growlin' and a

D7 G7 C C7 F D7

Sniffin' the air. He can find a fire before it starts to flame

C Am D7 G7 C

That's why they call him Smokey, that was how he got his name.

You can take a tip from Smokey that there's nothin' like a tree,

Cause they're good for kids to climb in and they're beautiful to see.

You just have to look around you and you'll find it's not a joke,

To see what you'd be missin' if they all went up in smoke.

You can camp upon his doorstep and he'll make you feel at home,

You can run and hunt and ramble anywhere you care to roam.

He will let you take his honey and pretend he's not so smart,

But don't you harm his trees for he's a ranger in his heart.

If you've ever seen the forest when a fire is running wild,

And you love the things within it like a mother loves her child,

Then you know why Smokey tells you

when he sees you passing through,

"Remember ... please be careful ... it's the least that you can do."

Waltzing With Bears

A D A

My Uncle Walter goes waltzing with bears,

E A

It's a most unbearable state of affairs.

Every Saturday night, he creeps down the stairs,

D A E A

Goes out the back door and goes waltzing with bears.

A D A

He goes wa-wa-wa-wa-wa, waltzing with bears,

E A

Raggy bears, shaggy bears, baggy bears too.

There’s nothing on earth Uncle Walter won’t do

A D A D A

So he can go waltzing, wa-wa-wa waltzing

A D A E A

So he can go waltzing, waltzing with bears.

I went to his room in the middle of the night,

I crept to his side and I turned on the light.

But to my surprise he was nowhere in sight,

I think Uncle Walter goes waltzing at night.

We bought Uncle Walter a new coat to wear,

But when he came back it was covered with hair.

And lately I've noticed there's several new tears,

I think Uncle Walter's been waltzing with bears.

We told Uncle Walter that he should be good,

And do all the things that we said that he should.

But I know that he'd rather be out in the woods

I'm afraid we'll lose Uncle Walter for good.

We begged and we pleaded "oh please don't you stay”

And we managed to keep him for almost a day.

But the bears all barged in and they took him away,

Now he's dancing with Pandas

and he can't understand us,

And the bears all demand

at least one dance a day.

Classics & Oldies

Bill Grogan's Goat

D G

There was a man now please take note

A D

There was a man who had a goat

G

He loved that goat indeed he did

A D

He loved that goat just like a kid.

One day that goat felt frisky and fine

Ate three red shirts right off the line

The man, he grabbed him by the back

And tied him to a railroad track.

Now, when that train rolled into sight

That goat grew pale and green with fright

He heaved a sigh as if in pain

Coughed up those shirts and flagged the train!

California Drinking Song

Oh, they had a little party down in Newport;

There was Harry, there was Mary, there was Grace.

Oh, they had a little party down in Newport,

And they had to carry Harry from the place.

Oh, they had to carry Harry to the ferry,

And the ferry carried Harry to the shore;

And the reason that they had to

carry Harry to the ferry

Was that Harry couldn’t carry any more.

For California, for California,

The hills send back the cry,

We’re out to do or die,

For California, for California,

We’ll win the game

or know the reason why.

And when the game is over,

we will buy a keg of booze,

And drink to California

‘till we wobble in our shoes.

So drink, tra la la,

Drink, tra la la,

Drink, drank, drunk last night,

Drunk the night before;

Gonna get drunk tonight

Like I never got drunk before;

8a

For when I’m drunk, I’m as happy as can be

For I am member of the Souse family.

Now the Souse family is the best family

That ever came over from old Germany.

There’s the Highland Dutch, and the Lowland Dutch,

The Rotterdam Dutch, and the Irish.

Sing glorious, victorious,

One keg of beer for the four of us.

Sing glory be to God that there are no more of us,

For one of us could drink it all alone. Damn near.

Here’s to the Irish, dead drunk. The lucky stiffs….

Clementine

C

In a cavern, in a canyon

G7

Excavating for a mine

C

Lived a miner, forty-niner

G7 C

And his daughter, Clementine

Chorus:

Oh, my darling, oh, my darling

Oh, my darling Clementine

You are lost and gone forever

Dreadful sorry, Clementine

Light she was and like a fairy

And her shoes were number nine

Herring boxes without topses

Sandals were for Clementine

Drove she ducklings to the water

Every morning just at nine

Hit her foot against a splinter

Fell into the foaming brine

Ruby lips above the water

Blowing bubbles soft and fine

But alas, I was no swimmer

So I lost my Clementine

Then the miner, forty-niner

Soon began to peak and pine

Thought he oughta join his daughter

Now he's with his Clementine

There's a churchyard on the hillside

Where the flowers grow and twine

There grow roses, 'mongst the posies

Fertilized by Clementine 8b

In my dreams she still doth haunt me

Robed in garlands soaked in brine

Though in life I used to hug her

Now she's dead, I draw the line

Now you friends may learn the moral

Of this little tale of mine

Artificial respiration

Would have saved my Clementine

How I missed her, how I missed her

How I missed my Clementine

Till I kissed her little sister

And forgot my Clementine

Last night, I found a peanut.

Found a peanut last night.

Broke it open, broke it open,

The Fox

G

The fox went out on a chilly night

D

He prayed for the moon to give him light

G C

For he’d many a mile to go that night

G D G D G

Before he reached the town-o, town-o, town-o

C G D G

He’d many a mile to go that night, before he reached the town-o

10a

He ran till he came to a great big pen,

Where the ducks and the geese were put therein,

"A couple of you will grease my chin,

Before I leave this town-o, town-o, town-o,

A couple of you will grease my chin, before I leave this town-o."

He grabbed the gray goose by the neck,

He threw a duck across his back,

He didn't mind their quack, quack, quack,

And their legs a-dangling down-o, down-o, down-o,

He didn't mind their quack, quack, quack, and their legs a-dangling down-o.

Then old Mother Flipper-Flopper jumped out of bed,

Out of the window she cocked her head,

Crying, "John, John! The gray goose is gone,

And the fox is on the town-o, town-o, town-o!"

Crying, "John, John! The gray goose is gone, and the fox is on the town-o!"

Then John, he went to the top of the hill,

Blowed his horn both loud and shrill,

The fox he said, "I better flee with my kill,

Or they'll soon be on my trail-o, trail-o, trail-o!"

The fox he said, "I better flee with my kill, or they'll soon be on my

trail-o!"

He ran till he came to his cozy den,

There were the little ones, eight, nine, ten,

They said, "Daddy, better go back again,

'Cause it must be a mighty fine town-o, town-o, town-o!"

They said, "Daddy, better go back again, ‘cause it must be a mighty fine

town-o!

Then the fox and his wife without any strife,

Cut up the goose with a fork and knife,

They never had such a supper in their life,

And the little ones chewed on the bones-o, bones-o, bones-o,

They never had such a supper in their life,

and the little ones chewed on the bones-o

My Grandfather's Clock

D A7 D G

My grandfather's clock was too large for the shelf

D A7 D

So it stood ninety years on the floor

D A7 D G

It was taller by half than the old man himself

D A7 D

And it weighed not a penny weight more

D E7 A7

It was bought on the morn of the day that he was born

D E7 A7

And was always his treasure and pride

D A7 D G

But it stopped short never to go again

D A7 D

When the old man died

D

Ninety years without slumbering (tick tock tick tock)

D

His life's seconds numbering (tick tock tick tock)

D A7 D G

But it stopped short never to go again

D A7 D

When the old man died.

In watching its pendulum swing to and fro,

Many hours had he spent as a boy;

And in childhood and manhood the clock seemed to know

And to share both his grief and his joy.

For it struck twenty-four when he entered at the door

With a blooming and beautiful bride.

But it stopped, short, never to go again


My grandfather said that of those he could hire,

Not a servant so faithful he found;

For it wasted no time, and had but one desire:

At the close of each week to be wound.

And it kept in its place, not a frown upon its face,

And its hands never hung by its side.



It rang in alarm in the dead of the night,

An alarm that for years had been dumb.

And we knew that his spirit was plumbing its flight,

That his hour of departure had come.

Still the clock kept the time, with a soft and muffled chime,

As we silently stood by his side

Grandma's Feather Bed

G C

When I was a little bitty boy

G D

Just up off the floor,

G C

We used to go down to Grandma's house

G D G

Every month end or so

G C

We'd have chicken pie, country ham

G D

Home-made butter on the bread

G C

But the best damn thing about Grandma's house

D G

Was the great big feather bed

Chorus

G C G

It was nine feet high, six feet wide, Soft as a downy chick

G C

It was made of the feathers of forty-eleven geese

G

Took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick

G C

It could hold eight kids, four hound dogs

G

And the piggy that we stole form the shed (oink, oink!)

G C

Didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun

D G

In Grandma's feather bed

After supper we'd sit around the fire,

The old folks'd spit and chew,

Paw would talk about the farm and the war,

Granny'd sing a ballad or two.

I'd sit and listen and watch the fire

'til the cobwebs filled my head.

Next thing I'd know I'd wake up in the morning

In the middle of the old feather bed.

Well I love my Ma, I love my Pa,

Love Granny and Grandpa too,

Been fishing with my uncle, and rassled with my cousin,

I even kissed Aunt Loo (ooouu!)

But if I ever had to make a choice,

I guess it ought to be said

That I'd trade them all plus the gal down the road,

For Grandma's feather bed!

Lord, I’m one, Lord, I’m two, Lord, I’m three, Lord, I’m four

Lord, I’m five hundred miles away from home.

Lord, I can’t go back home this away.

Well, I have a hammer, and I've got a bell (to ring),

And I've got a song (to sing), all over this land;

It's the hammer of justice, it's the bell of freedom,

It's a song about love between my brothers and my sisters,

All over this land.

The Most Unlucky Man

D

Behold the most unlucky man that ever you did see

A D

Misfortune was the only girl who ever smiled at me

D

The nearest I came to whiskey was the smelling of the cork

A D

And if the sky were raining soup, I’d surely have a fork

Chorus:

D

Gee, I’m unlucky, yes, I’m unlucky

A

Born the 13th day of June, upon a Friday afternoon

D

Yes I’m unlucky, deny it no one can,

A D

For I’m known from Maine to Frisco as the most unlucky man

At carrying bricks and mortar,

I once thought I’d have a try

I got a job upon a building 40 stories high.

Into a vat of mortar I fell from the 7th floor

In all my life, I’ve never been so mortar-fied before

Chorus

I had a checkerboard tattooed upon my chest

Two Scotsmen tried to play a game of chess upon my breast

But soon I was arrested by a copper, Mike O'Roark

Who said you cannot operate a skin game in New York

Chorus

I went to see my girl the other Sunday night

I went to see my girl, and the stars were shining bright

I put my arms around her and my heart did soar and soar

Until I saw the image of her old man at the door 12b

Gee, I’m unlucky, yes, I’m unlucky

Oh, the kick he gave to me

Between the front door and the tree

Yes I’m unlucky, deny it no one can,

For I’m known from Maine to Frisco

as the most unlucky man

The M.T.A.

C F

Let me tell you of a story 'bout a man named Charlie

C G7

On a tragic and fateful day.

C F

He put ten cents in his pocket, kissed his wife and family,

C G7 C

Went to ride on the M T A.

C F

But will he ever return? No he'll never return,

C G7

And his fate is still unlearned.

C F

He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston,

C G7 C

He's the man who never returned.

Charlie handed in his dime at the Kendall Street Station

With a change for Jamaica Plain,

When he got there the conductor told him, "One more nickel,"

Charlie couldn't get off of that train.

All night long Charlie rides through the station

Crying "What will become of me?"

How can I afford to see my sister in Chelsea

Or my cousin in Roxbury?"

Charlie's wife goes down to the Scully Square Station

Every day at a quarter past two.

And through the open window she hands Charlie a sandwich

As the train goes rumblin' through.

Oh, ye citizens of Boston, don't you think it a scandal

How the people have to pay and pay?

Fight the fare increase, vote for George O'Brien!

And get Charlie off the M.T.A.

Oh Susannah

C G

I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee

C

And I'm bound for Louisiana, my true love for to see

C

It rained all night the day I left

G C

Susannah, don't you cry

Chorus:

F

Oh, Susannah

C G

Now, don't you cry for me

C G C

I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee

I had a dream the other night, when everything was still

I dreamed I saw Susannah dear a-coming down the hill.

The buckwheat cake was in her mouth the tear was in her eye

Says I, “I'm coming from the south, Susannah, don't you cry.”

Chorus

I come from A-la-ba-ma with a ban-jo on my knee,

I'm going to Lou-i-siana, my true love for to see.

On Top of Old Smokey

C F

On top of Old Smokey

C

All covered with snow,

G7

I lost my true lover

C

From courting too slow.

Now, courting is a pleasure and parting is grief,

And a false-hearted lover is worse than a thief.

Say, a thief will just rob you and take what you have,

But a false-hearted lover will lead you to the grave.

And the grave will decay you and turn you to dust;

Not one boy in a hundred a poor girl can trust.

They'll hug you and kiss you and tell you more lies

Than the cross ties on the railroad or stars in the sky.

So, come all you young maidens and listen to me,

Never place your affection on a green willow tree.

For the leaves they will wither, and the roots they will die,

You'll all be forsaken and never know why.

On top of Old Smoky all covered with snow,

I lost my true lover from courting too slow.

Puff the Magic Dragon

G Bm C G

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea

C G Em A7 D7

And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honnah Lee,

G Bm C G

Little jackie paper loved that rascal Puff,

C G Em A7 D7

And brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff.

Chorus:

Puff the magic dragon, lived by the sea,

And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honna-lee,

Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail,

Jackie kept a lookout perched on Puff's gigantic tail.

Noble kings and princes would bow whene'er they came,

Pirate ships would lower their flags when Puff roared out his name.

A dragon lives forever, but not so little boys,

Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys,

One grey night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more,

And Puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar.

His head was bent in sorrow; green scales fell like rain,

Puff no longer went to play along the Cherry Lane.

Without his lifelong friend, Puff could not be brave.

So, Puff that mighty dragon, sadly slipped into his cave. 14a

The Riddle Song

I gave my love a cherry that had no stone

G7 C G7

I gave my love a chicken that had no bone

Dm C G7

I gave my love a ring that had no end

And how can there be a baby

With no cryin'?

A cherry when it's bloomin'

It has no stone

A chicken when it's pippin'

It has no bone

The story of I love you

It has no end

A baby when it's sleeping

It's not cryin'

Sweet Betsy from Pike

G D G

Did you ever hear tell of Sweet Betsy from Pike,

A7 D

Who crossed the wide mountains with her lover Ike,

G C G

Two yoke of cattle, a large yeller dog,

D G

A tall Shanghai rooster, and a one-spotted hog.

Singing too-ra-li-oo-ra-li-oo-ra-li-ay

One evening quite early they camped on the Platte,

’Twas near by the road on a green shady flat.

Betsy, sore-footed, lay down to repose

With wonder, Ike gazed on that Pike County rose.

Singing too-ra-li-oo-ra-li-oo-ra-li-ay!

They soon reached the desert where Betsy gave out,

And down in the sand she lay rolling about.

Ike in great wonder looked on in surprise,

Saying, "Betsy, get up, you'll get sand in your eyes."


Sweet Betsy got up in a great deal of pain.

She declared she'd go back to Pike County again.

Ike gave a sigh, and they fondly embraced,

And they traveled along with his arm round her waist.

Singing too-ra-li-oo-ra-li-oo-ra-li-ay! 15b

The Shanghai ran off and the cattle all died,

That morning, the last piece of bacon was fried.

Ike got discouraged, and Betsy got mad,

The dog drooped his tail and looked wonderfully sad.


They swam the wide rivers and crossed the tall peaks,

And camped on the prairie for weeks upon weeks.

Starvation and cholera, hard work and slaughter;

They reached California 'spite hell and high water.



Sweet Violets

Chorus:

D

Sweet Violets

A7

Sweeter than the roses

Covered all over from head to toe

D G D

Covered all over with sweet violets

D A7

There once was a farmer who took a young miss

A7

In back of the barn where he gave her a

D A7

Lecture on horses and chickens and eggs

A7

And told her that she had such beautiful

D A7

Manners that suited a girl of her charms

A7

A girl that he wanted to take in his

D A7

Washing and ironing and then if she did

A7

They could get married and raise lots of

Chorus

The girl told the farmer that he'd better stop

And she called her father and he called a

Taxi and got there before very long,

'Cause someone was doing his little girl

Right for a change and so that's why he said,

"If you marry her, son, you're better off

Single 'cause it's always been my belief,

Marriage will bring a man nothing but …

Chorus 16a

The farmer decided he'd wed any way,

And started in planning for his wedding

Suit, which he purchased for only one buck,

But then he found out he was just out of

Money and so he got left in the lurch,

Standing and waiting in front of the

End of this story which just goes to show,

All a girl wants from a man is his …

Chorus

Titanic

D G D

Oh, they built the ship Titanic, to sail the ocean blue.

E7 A7

And they thought it was a ship that water would never go through.

D D7 G D

It was on its maiden trip, when an iceberg hit the ship.

A7 D D7

It was sad when the great ship went down.

Chorus:

G D

It was sad (so sad) it was sad (too bad)

A7

It was sad when the great ship went down (to the bottom of the....)

D D7 G

Husbands and wives, even little children lost their lives

D A7 D


They were nearing to the shore, when the water began to pour.

And the rich refused to associate with the poor,

So they sent them down below where they'd be the first to go.


Lady Astor turned around just to see her husband drown,

as the ship Titanic made a gurgling sound.

So she wrapped herself in mink, as the ship began to sink.

It was sad when the great ship when down.

Now the moral of the story is very plain to see,

You should wear a life preserver when you go out to sea.

The Titanic never made it and never more shall be.

Once upon a time in a nursery rhyme, there were three bears.

One was the papa bear, and one was the mama bear,

And one was the wee bear.

They all went a-walkin' in the deep woods a-talkin'

She knocked on the door, but no one was home.

Along came those three bears

Someone has eaten my porridge, said the papa bear, Said the papa bear

Someone has eaten my porridge, said the mama bear, Said the mama bear

Hey mama she bear, said the little wee bear, SOMEONE HAS BROKEN MY CHAIR!

HUH!

Someone’s been sitting in my chair …

Someone’s been sleeping in my bed …

Goldilocks she woke up, and broke up the party, and she beat it out of there

Hey mama she bear, said the little wee bear,

There goes the little girl who broke my chair! Huh!

They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps;

I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps:

His day is marching on.

In the beauty of the lilies He was born across the sea,

With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me:

As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free,

While God is marching on.

Stars and Stripes Forever(John Philip Souza)

Let martial note in triumph float

And liberty extend its mighty hand

A flag appears 'mid thunderous cheers,

The banner of the Western land.

The emblem of the brave and true

Its folds protect no tyrant crew;

The red and white and starry blue

Is freedom's shield and hope.

Other nations may deem their flags the best

And cheer them with fervid elation

But the flag of the North and South and West

Is the flag of flags, the flag of Freedom's nation.

Hurrah for the flag of the free!

May it wave as our standard forever,

The gem of the land and the sea,

The banner of the right.

Let despots remember the day

When our fathers with mighty endeavor

Proclaimed as they marched to the fray

That by their might and by their right

It waves forever.

Let eagle shriek from lofty peak

The never-ending watchword of our land;

Let summer breeze waft through the trees

The echo of the chorus grand.

Sing out for liberty and light,

Sing out for freedom and the right.

Sing out for Union and its might,

O patriotic sons.

Other nations may deem their flags the best

And cheer them with fervid elation,

But the flag of the North and South and West

Is the flag of flags, the flag of Freedom's nation.

The Star-Spangled Banner

G Em G A7 D

Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light

G D G D G

What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?

G Em G A7 D

Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,

G D G D G

O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?

G D

And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,

G D Em A7 D

Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.

G C Am D

Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave

G Em G D G

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. 23

On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,

Where the foe’s haughty host in dread silence reposes,

What is that which the breeze, o’er the towering steep,

As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?

Now it catches the gleam of the morning’s first beam,

In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:

‘Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh long may it wave

O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore

That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion,

A home and a country should leave us no more!

Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps’ pollution.

No refuge could save the hireling and slave

From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:

And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave


Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand

Between their loved home and the war’s desolation!

Blest with victory and peace, may the heav’n rescued land

Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.

Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,

And this be our motto: “In God is our trust.”

And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave


This Land is Your Land

G C G

This land is your land, this land is my land

D G

From California to the New York Island

G7 C G

From the Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream waters

D7 G

This land was made for you and me.

As I was walking that ribbon of highway,

I saw above me that endless skyway,

I saw below me that golden valley,


I roamed and rambled, and I followed my footsteps,

To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts,

All around me a voice was sounding,


When the sun came shining, then I was strolling,

And the wheat fields waving, and the dust clouds rolling,

As the fog was lifting, a voice was chanting,

Yankee Doodle

G D7 G D7

Yankee Doodle went to town, a-riding on a pony,

G C D7 G

Stuck a feather in his cap and called it macaroni

C G

Yankee doodle, keep it up, Yankee doodle dandy;

C

Mind the music and the step,

G D7 G

And with the girls be handy.

Father and I went down to camp,

Along with Captain Gooding;

And there we saw the men and boys,

As thick as hasty pudding.

Yankee doodle, keep it up,doodle dandy;

Mind the music and the step,

And with the girls be handy.

Rock & Pop Songs

American Pie(Don McLean)

G D Em7

A long, long time ago,

Am C Em D

I can still remember how that music used to make me smile

G D Em7

And I know if I had my chance,

Am C Em C D

That I could make those people dance and maybe they'd be happy for a while

Em Am Em Am

But February made me shiver, with every paper I'd deliver

C G Am C D

Bad news on the doorstep, I couldn't take one more step

G D Em Am7 D

I can't remember if I cried when I read about his widowed bride

G D Em

Something touched me deep inside

C D7 G C G

The day the music died

G C G D

So bye, bye Miss American Pie

Chorus:

G C G D

Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry

G C G D

And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye

Em A7 Em D7

Singin' this will be the day that I die, this will be the day that I die

Verse:

G Am

Did you write the book of love

C Am Em D

And do you have faith in god above, if the bible tells you so?

G D Em

Do you believe in rock and roll

Am7 C Em A7 D

Can music save your mortal soul and can you teach me how to dance real slow?

Em D Em D

Well I know that you're in love with him 'cuz I saw you dancin' in the gym

C G A7 C D7

You both kicked off your shoes, man I dig those rhythm and blues

G D Em Am C

I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck with a pink carnation and a pickup truc

k

G D Em C D7 G C G

But I knew I was out of luck the day the music died, I started singin'

I started singin' bye-bye, Miss American Pie

chorus

25a

Now for ten years we've been on our own

And moss grows fat on a rollin' stone

But that's not how it used to be

When the jester sang for the king and queen

In a coat he borrowed from James Dean

And a voice that came from you and me

Oh, and while the king was looking down

The jester stole his thorny crown

The courtroom was adjourned

No verdict was returned

And while Lenin read a book on Marx

A quartet practiced in the park

And we sang dirges in the dark


We were singin' bye-bye, Miss American Pie

chorus

Helter skelter in a summer swelter

The birds flew off with a fallout shelter

Eight miles high and falling fast

It landed foul on the grass

The players tried for a forward pass

With the jester on the sidelines in a cast

Now the halftime air was sweet perfume

While the sergeants played a marching tune

We all got up to dance

Oh, but we never got the chance

'Cause the players tried to take the field

The marching band refused to yield

Do you recall what was revealed

The day the music died?

We started singin' bye-bye, Miss American Pie

chorus

Oh, and there we were all in one place

A generation lost in space

With no time left to start again

So come on, Jack be nimble, Jack be quick

Jack Flash sat on a candlestick

'Cause fire is the devil's only friend

Oh, and as I watched him on the stage

My hands were clenched in fists of rage

No angel born in Hell

Could break that Satan's spell

And as the flames climbed high into the night

To light the sacrificial rite

I saw Satan laughing with delight


He was singin' bye-bye, Miss American Pie

chorus

25b

I met a girl who sang the blues

And I asked her for some happy news

But she just smiled and turned away

I went down to the sacred store

Where I'd heard the music years before

But the man there said the music wouldn't play

And in the streets, the children screamed

The lovers cried and the poets dreamed

But not a word was spoken

The church bells all were broken

And the three men I admire most

The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost

They caught the last train for the coast


And they were singin' bye-bye, Miss American Pie

chorus

Blowin' in the Wind

G C G C D

How many roads must a man walk down, before you call him a man?

G C G C D

How many seas must a white dove sail, before she sleeps in the sand?

G C G C D

How many times must the cannonballs fly, before they're forever banned?

CHORUS

C D G Em

The answer my friend, is blowin in the wind.

C D G

The answer is blowin in the wind.

How many years can some mountains exist before they're washed to the sea

How many years can some people exist before they're allowed to be free

How many times can a man turn his head and pretend that he just doesn't see

How many times must a man look up before he reaches the sky

How many ears must one man have before he can hear people cry

How many deaths will it take till he knows that too many people have died

My child arrived just the other day

He came to the world in the usual way

But there were planes to catch and bills to pay

A E

He learned to walk while I was away

My son turned ten just the other day

He said, "Thanks for the ball, Dad, come on let's play

can you teach me to throw", I said "Not today

I got a lot to do", he said, "That's ok

And he walked away but his smile never dimmed

And said, "I'm gonna be like him, yeah

You know I'm gonna be like him"

Chorus 1

Well, he came from college just the other day

So much like a man I just had to say

"Son, I'm proud of you, can you sit for a while"

He shook his head and said with a smile

"What I'd really like, Dad, is to borrow the car keys

See you later, can I have them please"

Chorus 2:



When you comin' home son 26b

I don't know when, but we'll get together then, Dad


I've long since retired, my son's moved away

I called him up just the other day

I said, "I'd like to see you if you don't mind"

He said, "I'd love to, Dad, if I can find the time

You see my new job's a hassle and kids have the flu

But it's sure nice talking to you, Dad

It's been sure nice talking to you"

D A Bm A

And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me

G Bm E

He'd grown up just like me

G Bm E

My boy was just like me

Chorus 2

Coconut(Harry Nilsson)

Brother bought a coconut, he bought it for a dime

His sister had another one, she paid it for a lime

She put the lime in the coconut,

Everything still remains the same

I can't do what ten people tell me to do

So I guess I'll remain the same, listen

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

Blinky thumps the gut bass and solos for a while.

Poorboy twangs the rhythm out on his kalamazoo.

Willy goes into a dance and doubles on kazoo.

chorus

You don't need a penny just to hang around,

But if you've got a nickel, won't you lay your money down?

Over on the corner there's a happy noise.

People come from all around to watch the magic boy.

Homeward bound,

Home where my thought's escaping

A Asus4

Home where my music's playing,

Home where my love lays waiting

E A

Silently for me.

Ev'ry day's an endless stream of cigarettes and magazines.

And each town looks the same to me, the movies and the factories

And ev'ry stranger's face I see reminds me that I long to be,

Tonight I'll sing my songs again, I'll play the game and pretend.

But all my words come back to me in shades of mediocrity

Like emptiness in harmony I need someone to comfort me.

Now the only thing a gambler needs Is a suitcase and trunk

And the only time he's satisfied Is when he's on a drunk

Oh mother tell your children Not to do what I have done

Spend your lives in sin and misery In the House of the Rising Sun

Well, I got one foot on the platform The other foot on the train

I'm goin' back to New Orleans To wear that ball and chain

Well, there is a house in New Orleans They call the Rising Sun

And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy And God I know I'm one

Wastin away again in Margaritaville, searchin for my lost shaker of salt.

G A D A G A

Some people claim that there's a woman to blame, but I know,

D

it's nobody's fault.

Don't know the reason, stayed here all season

With nothing to show but this brand new tattoo.

But it's a real beauty, a Mexican cutie,

how it got here I haven't a clue.

Wasted away again in Margaritaville,

Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt.

Some people claim that there's a woman to blame,

Now I think, - hell it could be my fault.

I blew out my flip flop, stepped on a pop top,

Cut my heel, had to cruise on back home.

But there's booze in the blender, and soon it will render

That frozen concoction that helps me hang on.

Wasted away again in Margaritaville

Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt.

Some people claim that there's a woman to blame,

But I know, it's my own damn fault.

Some people claim that there's a woman to blame

And I know it's my own damn fault.

One Tin Soldier

C G Am Em

Listen children to a story that was written long ago

F C F G

'Bout a kingdom on a mountain, and the valley folk below

C G Am Em

On the mountain was a treasure buried deep beneath a stone

F C F C

And the valley people swore they'd have it for their very own.

(Chorus:)

C Em F G

Go ahead and hate your neighbor, go ahead and cheat a friend

C Em F G

Do it in the name of heaven, you can justify it in the end

C Em F C

There won't be any trumpets blowing, come the judgment day

No Chord F C

On the bloody morning after - one tin soldier rides away.

So the people of the valley sent a message up the hill.

Asking for the buried treasure tons of gold for which they’d kill.

Came and answer from the kingdom “ With our brothers we will share

All the secrets of our mountain, all the riches buried there.”

Chorus

Now the valley cried with anger mount your horses, draw your sword.

And they killed the mountain people so they won there just reward.

Now they stood beside the treasure on the mountain, dark and red.

Turned the stone and looked beneath it “Peace On Earth” was all it said.

Chorus

Rocky Mountain High

D Em C A

He was born in the summer, of his twenty seventh year;

D Em G

Coming home to a place he'd never been before

D Em C A

He left yesterday behind him, you might say he was born again

D Em G

You might say he found a key for every door

When he first came to the mountains, his life was far away;

On the road and hanging by a song

But the string's already broken, and he doesn't really care;

It keeps changing fast, and it don't last for long

Chorus:

G A D

But the Colorado Rocky Mountain high

G A D

I've seen it raining fire in the sky

G A D G A G

The shadow from the starlight is softer than a lul la by

A D Em G A D Em G A7

Rocky Mountain high, Colorado; Rocky Mountain high, Colorado

He climbed cathedral mountains, he saw silver clouds below;

he saw everything as far as you can see

And they say that he got crazy once, and he tried to touch the sun;

And he lost a friend but kept the memory

Now he walks in quiet solitude, the forests and the streams;

seeking grace in every step he takes

His sight has turned inside himself to try and understand;

the serenity of a clear blue mountain lake

And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high


talk to God and listen to the casual reply


Now his life is full of wonder, but his heart still knows some fear;

of a simple thing he cannot comprehend

Why they try to tear the mountains down, to bring in a couple more;

more people, more scars upon the land



I know he'd be a poorer man if he never saw an eagle fly

Rocky Mountain high



Friends around the campfire and every body's high

The Rose (Bette Midler)

Tuning is E A D G B E

Chords used are: E B A G#m

E B

Some say love, it is a river,

A B E

That drowns the tender reed

E B

Some say love, it is a razor,

A B E

That leaves your soul to bleed

G#m A

Some say love it is a hunger,

F#m B

An endless aching need

E B

I say love it is a flower and

A B E

You its only seed

It's the heart afraid of breaking

That never learns to dance

It's the dream afraid of waking

That never takes the chance

It's the one who won't be taken

Who cannot seem to give

And the soul afraid of dyin'

That never learns to live

When the night has been too lonely

And the road has been too long

And you think that love is only

For the lucky and the strong

Just remember in the winter

Far beneath the bitter snows

Lies the seed that with the sun's love

In the spring becomes the rose

Up On The Roof

G Em

When this old world starts getting me down

C D G

And people are just too much for me to face

Em

I'll climb way up to the top of the stairs

C D G

And all my cares just drift right into space

C

On the roof it's peaceful as can be

G Em C D

And there the world below don't bother me

So when I come home feeling tired and beat,

I'll go up where the air is fresh and sweet.

I'll get far away from the hustling crowd

and all the rat-race noise down in the street.

On the roof, that's the only place I know,

Where you just have to wish to make it so,

And at night the stars, they put on a show for free.

And, darling, you can share it all with me,

that's what I said, keep on telling you

That right smack dab in the middle of town,

I found a paradise that's trouble-proof.

And if this old world starts a getting you down,

there's room enough for two up on the roof, up on the roof, up on the roof.

Everything is all right, everything is all right.

You got the stars above and the city lights below, let's go up on the roof.

Camelot

A law was made a distant moon ago here: July and August cannot be too hot.

And there's a legal limit to the snow here in Camelot.

The winter is forbidden till December and exits March the second on the dot.

By order, summer lingers through September in Camelot.

Camelot! Camelot! I know it sounds a bit bizarre,

But in Camelot, Camelot

that's how conditions are.

The rain may never fall till after sundown.

By eight, the morning fog must disappear.

In short, there's simply not a more congenial spot

For happily-ever-aftering than here in Camelot.

Camelot! Camelot! I know it gives a person pause,

But in Camelot, Camelot those are the legal laws.

The snow may never slush upon the hillside.

By nine p.m. the moonlight must appear.

In short, there's simply not a more congenial spot

For happily-ever-aftering than here in Camelot. 37b

If I Were a Rich Man (Fiddler on the Roof)

If I were a rich man, Ya ba dibbie dibbie, doobie dibbie dibbie dibbie dum

Dm Am B7 E E7

All day long I'd biddy biddy bum, if I were a wealthy man

A

I wouldn't have to work hard,

Ya ba dibbie dibbie, doobie dibbie dibbie dibbie dum

Dm Am E E7 A

If I were a biddy biddy rich, idle-deedle-didle-didle man

Dm G7

I'd build a big tall house with rooms by the dozen,

C Am

right in the middle of the town

Dm G A (A7)

A fine tin roof with real wooden floors below

Dm G

There would be one long staircase just going up,

C Am

and one even longer coming down,

Dm D#dim E

and one more leading nowhere, just for show

I'd fill my yard with chicks and turkeys and geese

And ducks for the town to see and hear

Squawking just as noisily as they can

And each loud "Pa-pa-gee! Pa-pa-gaack!

Pa-pa-gee! Pa-pa-gaack!"

Would land like a trumpet on the ear

As if to say, "Here lives a wealthy man", oy!

Chorus

I see my wife, my Golde, looking like a rich man's wife

With a proper double chin

Supervising meals to her heart's delight

I see her putting on airs and strutting like a peacock

Oy! What a happy mood she's in

Screaming at the servants day and night

The most important men in town will come to fawn on me

They will ask me to advise them like a Solomon the Wise

"If you please, Reb Tevye, pardon me, Reb Tevye?"

Posing problems that would cross a rabbi's eyes

Ya va voy, ya va voy, voy vum

And it won't make one bit of difference

If I answer right or wrong

When you're rich, they think you really know

If I were rich, I'd have the time that I lack

To sit in the synagogue and pray

And maybe have a seat by the Eastern wall 39a

And I'd discuss the holy books with the learned men

Seven hours every day

That would be the sweetest thing of all, oy!

Chorus (skip last 2 lines)

Lord who made the lion and the lamb

You decreed I should be what I am

Would it spoil some vast, eternal plan

If I were a wealthy man?

The Rainbow Connection

G Em Am7 D

Why are there so many songs about rainbows,

G Em C C/D

and what's on the other side?

G Em Am D

Rainbows are visions, but only illusions.

G Em C

Rainbows have nothing to hide.

So we've been told and some choose to believe it.

Bm Esus7 E7

I know they’re wrong, wait and see.

Am D Bm E7

Some day we'll find it, the rainbow connection,

Am D G

The lovers, the dreamers, and me

Who said that every wish would be heard and answered

When wished on the morning star

Somebody thought of that and someone believed it

And look what it's done so far

What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing

And what do we think we might see

Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection

The lovers, the dreamers, and me

Seventy-six trombones led the big parade

With a hundred and ten cornets close at hand

They were followed by rows and rows of the finest virtuosos

The cream of every famous band

Seventy six trombones caught the morning sun

With a hundred and ten cornets right behind

There were more than a thousand reeds springing up like weeds

There were horns of every shape and kind

Seventy-six trombones played the counter part.

while one hundred and ten cornets played the air.

as the one and only bass

as I oompaed up and down the square

There were copper bottom tympani and horse platoons

Thundering, thundering louder than before.

Double bell euphoniums and big bassoons,

Each bassoon having its big, fat say!

There were fifty mounted cannon in the battery

Thundering, thundering louder than before

Clarinets of ev'ry size

And trumpeters who'd improvise

A full octave higher than the score!

Shall We Dance? (The King and I)

We've just been introduced

I do not know you well

But when the music started

Something drew me to your side

So many men and girls

Are in each other’s arms

It made me think we might be

Similarly occupied

Shall we dance?

On a bright cloud of music shall we fly?

Shall we dance?

Shall we then say goodnight and mean goodbye

Or perchance

When the last little star has left the sky

Shall we still be together

With our arms around each other

And shall you be my new romance?

On the clear understanding

That this kind of thing can happen

Shall we dance?

Shall we dance?

Shall we dance?

Or all through your life you

May dream all alone.

Never let her go.

With a Little Bit of Luck (My Fair Lady)

The Lord above gave man an arm of iron

So he could do his job and never shirk.

The Lord above gave man an arm of iron-but

With a little bit of luck, With a little bit of luck,

Someone else'll do the blinkin' work!

With a little bit...with a little bit...

With a little bit of luck you'll never work!

/ C G C - / / F - - E7 / F - G C /

/ F G C - / G - C - / C G C - /

The Lord above made liquor for temptation,

To see if man could turn away from sin.

The Lord above made liquor for temptation-but


When temptation comes you'll give right in!


With a little bit of luck you'll give right in.

Oh, you can walk the straight and narrow;

But with a little bit of luck You'll run amok!

/ F - C - / D - G - /

The gentle sex was made for man to marry,

To share his nest and see his food is cooked.

The gentle sex was made for man to marry-but


You can have it all and not get hooked.


With a little bit of luck you won't get hooked.


With a little bit of bloomin' luck!

They're always throwing goodness at you;

But with my little bit of luck A man can duck!

The Lord above made man to help is neighbor,

No matter where, on land, or sea, or foam.

The Lord above made man to help his neighbor-but


When he comes around you won't be home!


With a little bit of luck, You won't be home.

With a little bit, with a little bit


A man was made to help support his children

Which is the right and proper thing to do

A man was made to help support his children-but

With a little bit of luck, With a little bit of luck

They'll go out and start supporting you!


With a little bit of luck

They'll work for you! 43c



Oh, it's a crime for man to go philanderin'

And fill his wife's poor heart with grief and doubt.

With a little bit of luck she won't find out!

That's why a bear can rest at ease

With just the bare necessities of life

Now when you pick a pawpaw

Or a prickly pear

And you prick a raw paw

Next time beware

Don't pick the prickly pear by the paw

When you pick a pear

Try to use the claw

But you don't need to use the claw

When you pick a pear of the big pawpaw

Have I given you a clue?

The bare necessities of life will come to you

They'll come to you!

So just try and relax, yeah cool it

Fall apart in my backyard

'Cause let me tell you something little britches

If you act like that bee acts, uh uh

You're working too hard

And don't spend your time lookin' around

For something you want that can't be found

When you find out you can live without it

And go along not thinkin' about it

I'll tell you something true

The bare necessities of life will come to you 45a

Consider all the works thy hand has made

I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder

Your power throughout the uni- verse dis- played

Then sings my soul, my saviour God to thee

E D E A

How great thou art, how great thou art

When through the woods and forest glades I wander,

I hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees;

When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur

And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze;

But when I think that God, his Son not sparing,

Sent him to die, I scarce can take it in,

That on the cross my burden gladly bearing

He bled and died to take away my sin;

When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation,

And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart!

Then I shall bow in humble adoration

And there proclaim, "My God, how great thou art!

I danced for the fishermen, for James and John;

They came with me and the Dance went on.

I danced on the Sabbath and I cured the lame.

The Holy people said it was a shame.

They whipped and they stripped and they hung me high;

They left me there on a cross to die.

danced on a Friday when the sky turned black;

Its hard to dance with the devil on your back.

They buried my body and they thought I'd gone,

But I am the dance and I still go on. 49b

They cut me down, and I leaped up high,

For I am the life that will never, never die.

I'll live in you if you'll live in me,

For I am the Lord of the Dance, said He.

Morning Has Broken

Intro: D G A F# Bm G7 C F C

Morning has broken, like the first morning

C F C Am D

G C F G7 C F

Praise for the springing fresh from the world

G E Am G C G7sus

Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven,

Like the first dew fall on the first grass.

Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden,

Sprung in completeness where His feet pass.

Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning,

Born of the one light Eden saw play.

Praise with elation, praise every morning,

God's re-creation of the new day.

Cool the gray clouds roll, peaking the mountains,

Gull in her free flight, swooping the skies.

Praise for the mystery, misting the morning,

Behind the shadow, waiting to shine.

I am the sunrise, warming the heavens,

Spilling my warm glow over the earth.

Praise for the brightness of this new morning,

Filling my spirit with Your great love.

Mine is a turning, mine is a new life,

Mine is a journey closer to You.

Praise for the sweet glimpse, caught in a moment,

Joy breathing deeply, dancing in flight. 50a

The Riddle Song

I gave my love a cherry that had no stone

G7 C G7

I gave my love a chicken that had no bone

Dm C G7

I gave my love a ring that had no end

F Am F G7 C

I gave my love a baby with no cry-ing

How can there be a cherry

That has no stone?

And how can there be a chicken

That has no bone?

How can there be a story

That has no end?

And how can there be a baby

With no crying?

A cherry when it's blooming

It has no stone

A chicken when it's piping

It has no bone

The story that I love you

It has no end

A baby when it's sleeping

It's no crying.

I looked over Jordan and what did I see


A band of angels comin' after me


If you get to heaven before I do


Tell all my friends I'm comin' there too


I'm sometimes up and sometimes down


But still I know I'm heavenly bound


If I get there before you do


I'll cut a hole and pull you through

Comin' for to carry me home 54a

Day is done, Gone the sun,

From the lake, From the hills, from the sky;

All is well, Safely rest, God is nigh.

Fades the light, Falls the night,

O'er the vale, O'er the hill, o'er the sky;

From afar, Shines a star; in the night.

Sleep and dream, Every beam,

God keep watch over all Thru the night

We shall meet with the morn', so good night.

Tell Me Why

F C

Tell me why the stars do shine

F G

Tell me why the ivy twines

C F C

Tell me why the ocean's blue

F G C

And I will tell you just why I love you

Because God made the stars to shine,

Because God made the ivy twine,

Because God made the sky so blue,

Because God made you, that's why I love you.

I really think that dear God above

Created you just for me to love;

He picked you out from all the rest

Because he knew that I'd love you the best.
