Brown Eyed Girl –

G C G D Hey, where did we go Days when the rains came ? G C G D Down in the hollow Playing a new game, G C G D Laughing and a-running, hey, hey, Skipping and a-jumping G C G D In the misty morning fog with Our, our hearts a-thumping

C D G Em And you, my brown-eyed girl,

C D G D You, my brown-eyed girl. G C G D Whatever happened To Tuesday and so slow G C G D Going down to the old mine with a Transistor radio. G C G D Standing in the sunlight laughing Hide behind a rainbow's wall,

G C G D Slipping and a-sliding All along the waterfall

C D G Em With you, my brown-eyed girl, C D G D You, my brown-eyed girl. Do you remember when we used to sing G C G D Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah Just like that G C G D G Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah La dee dah.

G C G D So hard to find my way Now that I'm all on my own. G C G D I saw you just the other day, My, how you have grown! G C G D Cast my memory back there, Lord, Sometime I'm overcome thinking about 9

G C G D Making love in the green grass Behind the stadium C D G Em With you, my brown-eyed girl,

C D G D You, my brown-eyed girl. Do you remember when we used to sing

G C G D Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah Laying in the green grass

G C G D Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah Dee dah dee dah dee dah dee dah dee dah dee

C F G7 Am It's a wonderful invention with special x-ray tricks, G Gdim G G G G7 It can take a picture in the dark and can even see through bricks. E7 Am E7 Am I bought myself an album and filled it up with snaps, G D7 G G7 And I've got some lovely pictures of the local girls and chaps.

C F G7sus4 G7 G7sus4 G7 C Now I've got a picture of the girl next door, in my little snapshot album, C F G7sus4 G7 G7sus4 G7 C And I've never had a better snap before, in my little snapshot album. Dm Em F C G7 C The night was dark and the hour was late, She was kissing her boy by the garden gate, Dm E7 Am G7 C Wouldn't she love to see page eight, in my little snapshot album.

And I've got a picture of my old granddad, in my little snapshot album. He's over eighty but a real bad lad, in my little snapshot album Although he's an old antique, he thinks he's still the village sheik, I've got him dancing cheek to cheek in my little snapshot album.

And I've got a picture of a nudist camp, in my little snapshot album, All very jolly but a trifle damp, in my little snapshot album. There's Uncle Dick without a care, Discarding all his under wear, But his watch and chain still dangle there, in my little snapshot album!

It Must Be Love Labi Siffre

I never thought I'd miss you Half as much as I do

And I never thought I'd feel this way The way I feel About you

As soon as I wake up Every night, every day

I know that it's you I need To take the blues away

It must be love, love, love It must be love, love, love

Nothing more, nothing less Love is the best How can it be that we can As soon as I wake up Say so much without words? Every night, every day Bless you and bless me I know that it's you I need Bless the bees To take the blues away And the birds It must be love, love, love I've got to be near you It must be love, love, love Every night, every day It must be love, love, love I couldn't be happy It must be love, love, love Any other way It must be love, love, love It must be love, love, love It must be love, love, love It must be love, love, love It must be love, love, love It must be love, love, love Nothing more, nothing less Love is the best

Leaning on a Lamp Post George Formby

I'm leaning on a lamp, maybe you think, I look a tramp,

Or you may think I'm hanging 'round to steal a car.

But no I'm not a crook, And if you think, that's what I look,

I'll tell you why I'm here, and what my motives are.

I'm leaning on a lamp•post at the corner of the street,

In case a certain little lady comes by.

Oh me, oh my, I hope the little lady comes by.

I don't know if she'll get away, She doesn't always get away,

But anyhow I know that she'll try.

Oh me, oh my, I hope the little lady comes by,

33

There's no other girl I would wait for, But this one I'd break any date for,

I won't have to ask what she's late for,

She wouldn't have to leave me flat, She's not a girl like that.

Oh, she's absolutely wonderful, and marvellous and beautiful.

And anyone can understand why,

I’m leaning on a lamp•post at the corner of the street In case a certain little lady passes by.

34

Oh the lights in the city are like diamonds Wid ye gang tae the Hielands Leezie Lindsay The street lamps, the signs and the cars Wid ye gang tae the Hielands wi' me Though it's bright in the city what are diamonds? Wid ye gang tae the Hielands Leezie Lindsay When they're turning out all of our stars My pride and my darling to be Wid ye gang tae the Hielands Leezie Lindsay When you are by me Leezie Lindsay Wid ye gang tae the Hielands wi' me I'm not afraid to be alone Wid ye gang tae the Hielands Leezie Lindsay We can live anywhere that we choose to My pride and my darling to be When I'm with you I know that I'm home It's so loud in this town Leezie Lindsay Wid ye gang tae the Hielands Leezie Lindsay The worry and the working and the noise Wid ye gang tae the Hielands wi' me Now we cannae hear the birds when they're Wid ye gang tae the Hielands Leezie Lindsay singing My pride and my darling to be And the river is losing it's voice My pride and my darling to be My pride and my darling to be

Old Joe Clark

(Chorus) Fare thee well, Old Joe Clark Fare thee well, I say Fare thee well, Old Joe Clark I'm goin' away.

Old Joe Clarke the preacher's son Preached all over the plain, The only text he ever used Was high low jack and the game.

(Chorus) Old Joe Clark, he had a mule Her name was Morgan Brown, Every tooth in that mule's head Was sixteen inches 'round!

(Chorus) Old Joe Clark had a yellow cat She would neither sing nor play, Stuck her head in the buttermilk jar And washed her cares away.

(Chorus) Old Joe Clark, he had a house Fifteen stories high, Every story in that house Was filled with chicken pie!

(Chorus) I went down to Old Joe's house He invited me to supper, Stubbed my toe on the table leg And stuck my nose in the butter!

(Chorus) I wish I had a sweetheart I'd put her on a shelf, And every time she'd smile at me, I'd get up there myself.

(Chorus) Don't ever marry Old Joe Clark, I'll tell you the reason why: He blows his nose in old corn bread, And calls it pumpkin pie!

Using the above link you can play along, however, Vance Joy is playing a Baritone ukulele in re-entrant tuning (E B G d ) so he is using different chord shapes.

Stand by Me Ben E. King

When the night has come And the land is dark

And the moon is the only light we'll see

No I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid

Just as long as you stand, stand by me

So darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me

Oh stand by me, stand by me

If the sky that we look upon Should tumble and fall

Or the mountains should crumble to the sea

I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear

Just as long as you stand, stand by me

And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me

Oh stand by me, stand by me

And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me Oh, stand now by me, stand by me, stand by me-e, yeah Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me, oh now now stand by me Oh stand by me, stand by me Oh stand by me, stand by me 52

              x2 Hey la la ooo oo ooo

Didn't know what time it was and the lights were low I leaned back on my radio

Q Q e e e e e e e e Some cat was layin' down some get it on rock 'n' roll, he said

Then the loud sound did seem to fade Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase haze

That weren't no D.J. that was hazy cosmic jive

There's a star man waiting in the sky

He'd like to come and meet us but he thinks he'd blow our minds

There's a star man waiting in the sky

He's told us not to blow it Cause he knows it's all worthwhile He told me:

Let the children lose it Let the children use it Let all the children boogie

53

I had to phone someone so I picked on you Hey, that's far out so you heard him too

Q Q e e e e e e e e Switch on the TV we may pick him up on channel two

Look out your window I can see his light If we can sparkle he may land tonight

Don’t tell your papa or he’ll get us locked up in fright

There's a star man waiting in the sky

He'd like to come and meet us but he thinks he'd blow our minds

There's a star man waiting in the sky

He's told us not to blow it Cause he knows it's all worthwhile He told me:

Let the children lose it Let the children use it Let all the children boogie

When I’m Cleaning Windows George Formby capo 1st fret or tune up a semi tone

Intro:

Now I go cleaning windows to earn an honest bob

For a nosey parker it's an interesting job

Now it's a job that just suits me a window cleaner you will be

If you could see what I can see when I'm cleaning windows

The honeymooning couples too you should see them bill and coo

You'd be surprised at things they do, when I'm cleaning windows

In my profession I work hard but I'll never stop

I'll climb this blinking ladder 'til I get right to the top

The blushing bride she looks divine, the bridegroom he is doing fine

I'd rather have his job than mine when I'm cleaning windows

The chambermaid sweet names I call it's a wonder I don't fall

My mind’s not on my work at all when I'm cleaning windows

59

I know a fellow such a swell he has a thirst it's plain to tell

I've seen him drink his bath as well when I'm cleaning windows

In my profession I work hard but I'll never stop

I'll climb this blinking ladder 'til I get right to the top

Pyjamas lying side by side ladies nighties I have spied

I've often seen what goes inside when I'm cleaning windows

Now there's a famous talkie queen looks a flapper on the screen

She's more like eighty than eighteen, when I'm cleaning windows

She pulls her hair all down behind then pulls down her never mind

And after that pulls down the blind when I'm cleaning windows

In my profession I work hard but I'll never stop

I'll climb this blinking ladder 'til I get right to the top

An old maid walks around the floor, she's so fed up one day I'm sure

She'll drag me in and lock the door when I'm cleaning windows

Wonderful Tonight by Eric Clapton

G D C D It's late in the evening, she's wondering what clothes to wear. G D C D She puts on her make-up, and brushes her long blond hair. C D G D Em And then she asks me "Do I look all right?" C D G And I say "Yes, you look wonderful to-

-night

G D C D We'd go to party, and everyone turns to see G D C D This beautiful lady, that's walking around with me. C D G D Em And then she asks me: "Do you feel all right?" C D G And I say: "Yes, I feel wonderful tonight!"

[Bridge] C D G D Em I feel wonderful because I see the love light in your eyes, C D C D And the wonder of it all is that you just don't realize, How much I love you!

[Instrumental] 61

G D C D It's time to go home now, and I've got an aching head G D C D So I give her the car keys, and she helps me to bed. C D G D Em And then I tell her, as I turn off the light: C D I say: "My darling, you are wonderful to-

night!

C D Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight."
