F G7 C Mm mm mm, Mm, Oh-woh yeah yeah!

CHORUS: F My tongue gets tied when I try to speak, C my insides shake like a leaf on a tree F There's only one cure for this body of mine, G7 That's to have that girl that I love so fine!

I’m going back some day, come what may, to [G7] Blue Bayou! Where you sleep all day, and the catfish play, on [C] Blue Bayou. All those fishing boats, with their [C+] sails a-float, if [F] I could only [Fm] see, that fam-[C]-iliar sunrise, through [G7] sleep-y eyes, how [C] happy I’d be.

2. [C]Got to see my baby again, [G7] and to be with, some of my friends, maybe I’d be happy then on [C] Blue Bayou.

[C] Saving nickels, saving dimes, [G7] working ‘til the sun don’t shine. Looking forward to happier times, on [C] Blue Bayou!

I’m going back some day, gonna stay, on [G7] Blue Bayou! Where the folks are fine, and the world is mine, on [C] Blue Bayou. Ah, that girls of mine, [C+] by my side, the [F] sil-ver moon, and the [Fm] eve-ning tide. Oh, [C] some sweet day, gonna [G7] take a-way, this [C] hurtin’ inside.

I’ll [G7] never be blue, my dreams come true….. (pause) On Blue….Bay….[C]ou….!

UP ON THE ROOF – Gerry Goffin and Carole King. The Drifters, 1962.

D Bm7 When this old world starts a-getting me down G Em7 D Bm7 and people are just too much for me to face. D Bm7 I'll climb way up to the top of the stairs G Em7 D Bm7 and all my cares just drift right into space. G Gmaj7 G6 Gmaj7 On the roof, it's peaceful as can be, D Bm7 G A7-1 stop and there the world below don't bother me.

N.C. D Bm7 Let me tell you now when I come home feeling tired and beat, G Em7 D Bm7 I'll go up where the air is fresh and sweet. D Bm7 I'll get far away from the hustling crowd

G Em7 D Bm7 and all that rat-race noise down in the street. G Gmaj7 G6 Gmaj7 On the roof, (that's) the on-ly place I know D Bm7 G A7 – Em7 D where you just have to wish to make it so, up on the roof.

Instrumental: Bm7 G Em7 D Bm7

G Gmaj7 G6 Gmaj7 At night the stars put on a show for free D Bm7 G A7-1 stop and, darling, you can share it all with me. N.C. D Bm7 I keep a tellin' you right smack dab in the middle of town, G Em7 D Bm7 I found a para-dise that's trouble proof. D Bm7 And if this world starts getting you down, G Em7 D there's room enough for two, up on the roof…… Bm7 Em7 A7-1 N.C. Bm7(one long strum) Up on the roof……..Up on the roof…… Up on the roof…..

WHEN IRISH EYES ARE SMILING – by C. Olcott & Geo. Graff Jr, 1912. ¾ Time

CHORUS: C G7 C C7 F C When Irish eyes are smiling, sure it’s like a morn in spring. F C A7 D7 G7 In the lilt of Irish laughter, you can hear the angels sing. C G7 C C7 F C When Irish hearts are happy, all the world seems bright and gay. F C A7 D7 G7 C And when Irish eyes are smiling, sure, they steal your heart away!

Verses: C G7 C G7 There’s a tear in your eye and I’m wondering why C G For it never should be there at all….. G7 C A7 With such power in your smile, sure a stone you’d beguile D7 G7 So there’s never a teardrop should fall. C G7 C G7 When your sweet lilting laughter’s like some fairy song

C C7 F And your eyes twinkle bright as can be….. D7 G You should laugh all the while, and all other times smile D7 G G7 And now smile a smile for me.

For your smile is a part of the love in your heart, and it makes even sunshine more bright. Like the linnet's sweet song, crooning all the day long, comes your laughter so tender and light. For the springtime of life is the best time of all, With never a pain or regret. While the springtime is ours, thru all of life's hours, Let us smile each chance we get.

Traditional tribute to Irish Americans and Canadians. DUH ~ Dover Uke Heads
