ALL IS QUIET TONIGHT - Lowen & Navarro Intro G D Am C G Chorus: D Am C G All is quiet tonight The stars are in their places D Am C G The moon will give us light To see into each others' faces D Am C G D Am And I know the road is hard But if we carry on together We will get by End: All is quiet tonight, All is quiet tonight, All is quiet tonight We will get by, All is quiet tonight We will get by, All is quiet tonight Verse: D G 1. We live our lives In the eye of a hurricane D G We cast our fates On seas of indifference C D But all along the shoreline We look for a chance to believe Bm C G The darkness will fade And the promise will survive Until I hear you say:

D G 2. We make our way Through streets full of danger D G We build up the walls To keep us inside C D But oh, they keep us apart 'Till we become Bm C G The worst kind of stranger who stands with open arms and barricades the heart.Still I hear you say: Repeat Chorus 2x:

THE AUTUMN LEAVES by Jacques Prevert (French) Em7 F#7 Bm7 Em7 A7 D Gmaj7 Em7 F#7 Bm The autumn leaves drift by the window, the autumn leaves of red and gold.

AINT NO GRAVE Crooked Still CHORUS: Dm G Dm There ain’t no grave gonna hold my body down. There ain’t no grave gonna hold my body down. Dm G Dm When I hear that trumpet sound I’m gonna get up out of the ground. F A7 Dm There ain’t no grave gonna hold my body down. Dm 1. Go down yonder Gabriel put your foot on the land and sea. G Dm A7 Dm Oh Gabriel don’t you blow your trumpet until you hear from me. Dm I looked way over yonder and what you do think I see? G Dm A7 Dm I see a band of angels and they’re coming after me.

ABDUL ABULBUL AMIR (Original Title: Abdulla Bulbul Ameer) Percy French 1877 A musical monologue written for a concert at Trinity College, Dublin. Three sequels were written as well.

1. The sons of the Prophet are brave men and bold, And quite unaccustomed to fear (D7 G C G) But the bravest by far in the ranks of the Shah Was Abdul Abulbul Amir (D7 G C D7 G)

2. If you wanted a man to encourage the van, Or harass the foe from the rear. Storm fort or redoubt, you had only to shout, For Abdul Abulbul Amir

3. Now the heroes were plenty and well known to fame, In the troops that were led by the Czar And the bravest of these was a man by the name Of Ivan Skavinsky Skavar.

4. One day this bold Russian, he shouldered his gun, And donned his most truculent sneer Downtown he did go where he trod on the toe, Of Abdul Abulbul Amir

5. "Young man," quoth Abdul, "Has life grown so dull, That you wish to end your career? Vile infidel know, you have trod on the toe, Of Abdul Abulbul Amir."

6. "So take your last look at the sunshine and brook, And send your regrets to the Czar For by this I imply, you are going to die, Count Ivan Skavinsky Skavar."

7. "My friend, your remarks in the end, Will avail you but little, I fear For you ne'er will survive to repeat them alive, Mister Abdul Abulbul Amir"

8. Then this bold Mameluke drew his trusty skibouk, Singing, "Allah! Il Allah! Al-lah!" And with murderous intent he ferociously went, For Ivan Skavinsky Skavar.

9. They parried and thrust, they side-stepped and cussed, Of blood they spilled a great part The philologist blokes, who seldom crack jokes Say that hash was first made on the spot.

10. They fought all that night neath the pale yellow moon, The din, it was heard from afar And huge multitudes came, so great was the fame Of Abdul and Ivan Skavar

11. As Abdul's long knife was extracting the life, In fact he was shouting, "Huzzah!" He felt himself struck by that wily Calmuck, Count Ivan Skavinsky Skavar.

12. The Sultan drove by in his red-breasted fly, Expecting the victor to cheer But he only drew nigh to hear the last sigh, Of Abdul Abulbul Amir

13. Czar Petrovich, too, in his spectacles blue, Sauntered up in his gold-plated car And arrived just in time to exchange a last line, With Ivan Skavinsky Skavar.

14. There's a tomb rises up where the Blue Danube rolls, And engraved there in characters clear Is, "Stranger, when passing, oh pray for the soul Of Abdul Abulbul Amir"

15. A splash in the Black Sea one dark moonless night, Caused ripples to spread wide and far It was made by a sack fitting close to the back, Of Ivan Skavinsky Skavar.

16. A Muscovite maiden her lone vigil keeps, Neath the light of the cold northern star And the name that she murmurs in vain as she weeps Is Ivan Skavinsky Skavar.

ANNIE’S SONG John Denver C D Em C G G/F# Em Bm C Bm Am You fill up my senses like a night in the forest, like the mountains in springtime, C D (x4) C D Em C G G/F# Em Like a walk in the rain.

D Em D D9 G Gmaj7 G7 C A D7 I’m on your side, when time gets rough, and friends just can’t be found. C C#dim G E7 C B7 Em Like a Bridge over troubled waters, I will lay me down. C C#dim G E7 C D7 G (Last time C Am G Em C D7 G) Like a bridge over troubled waters I will lay me down.

2. When you’re down and out, when you’re on the street, when evening falls so hard I’ll comfort you. I’ll take your hand. When darkness comes, and pain is all around. Like a bridge over troubled waters, I will lay me down. Like a bridge over troubled waters, I will lay me down.

3. Sail on silver girl, sail on by. Your time has come to shine, all your dreams are on their way. See how they shine, oh, when you need them, I’m sailing right behind. Like a bridge over troubled waters, I will ease your mind. Like a bridge over troubled waters, I will ease your mind.

HERE COMES THE SUN Beatles (George Harrison) A Dmaj7 E7 Little Darlin’, It’s been a long cold lonely winter. A Dmaj7 E7 Little darlin’, it feels like years since you’ve been .

BLESS THE BROKEN ROAD Rascal Flatts Intro C G Am F G C (x2) C G Am F G C G Am F G C I set out on a narrow way many years ago. Hoping I would find true love along the broken road. Am G F C But I got lost a time or two, wiped my brow and kept pushing through C G Am F G C I couldn’t see how every sign pointed straight to you.

BLOWING IN THE WIND Bob Dylan G C D G C G How many roads must a man walk down, before you can call him a man? G C D G C D Yes and how many seas must a white dove sail, before she sleeps in the sand? G C D G C G Yes and how many times must the cannonball fly before they’re forever banned? C D G Em C D G The answer my friend is blowing in the wind. The answer is blowing in the wind.

Yes and how many years can a mountain exist, before it is washed to the sea? Yes and how many years can some people exist, before they’re allowed to be free? Yes and how many times can a man turn his head and pretend that he just doesn’t see? The answer my friend is blowing in the wind. The answer is blowing in the wind.

Yes and how many time must a man look up before he can see the sky? Yes and how many ears must one many have before he can hear people cry? Yes and how many deaths does it take till he knows that too many people have died? The answer my friend is blowing in the wind. The answer is blowing in the wind.

BACK HOME AGAIN John Denver

G G7 C D7 G 1. There’s a storm across the valley clouds are rolling in, the afternoon is heavy on your shoulders G7 C D7 G There’s a truck out on the 4-lane a mile or more away, the whinin’ of his wheels just makes it colder.

2. He’s an hour away from riding on your prayers up in the sky; and ten days on the road are barely gone. There’s a fire softly burning, super’s on the stove. And there’s a light in your eyes that makes his warm.

3. After all the news to tell him, how you spent your time. And what’s the latest thing the neighbor say? And your mother called last Friday, ‘Sunshine’ made her cry. And you felt the baby move just yesterday.

4. It’s the sweetest thing I know of just spending time with you,It’s the little things that make a house a home. Like a fire softly burning, supper on the stove. And a light in your eyes that makes me warm.

C D7 G G7 C D7 G R: Hey, its good to be back home again. Sometimes this old farm feels like a long lost C D7 G friend. Yes and hey, it’s good to be back home again.

C D7 G C Am D7 G B. And oh, the time that I can lay this tired old body down And feel your finger feather soft upon me. C D7 G C Am C D7 The kisses that I live for the love that lights my way, The happiness that living with you brings me.

BROWN EYED GIRL Van Morrison

G C G D G C G D Hey where did we go, days when the rains came. Down in hollow, playin’ a new game. G C G D Laughin’ and a runnin’ hey, hey, skippin’ and a jumpin’ G C G D C In the misty mornin’ fog with, ah, our hearts thumpin’ with you, D G Em C D G D7 My brown-eyed girl, you’re my brown-eyed girl.

Whatever happened, to Tuesday is so slow. Goin’ down the old mine with a transistor radio. Standin’ in the sunlight laughin’, hidin’ behind a rainbow’s wall Slippin’ and a slidin’ all along the waterfall with you My brown-eyed girl, you’re my brown-eyed girl.

D G C G D Do you remember when we used to sing, Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da (just like that) G C G D G Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da, la te da.

So hard to find my way now that I’m on my own. I saw you just the other day, my you have grown. Cast my memory back there Lord, sometimes I’m overcome thinkin’ about Making love in the green grass, behind the stadium with you My brown-eyed girl, you’re my brown-eyed girl.

Do you remember when we used to sing, Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da, la te da. Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da La Ti Da MT AIRY SONG CIRCLE - SONG BOOK

BOTH SIDES NOW Judy Collin Capo 1 or 2 E B7 E B7 E A Bows and flows of angel hair, And ice cream castles in the air. And feather canyons everywhere, B7 E B7 E B7 E I’ve looked at clouds that way. But now they only block the sun, They rain and snow on everyone. A B7 So many things I could have done, But clouds got in my way. E A E A E A E I’ve looked at CLOUDS from both sides now, From UP AND DOWN and still somehow B7 E A B7 E A E A E A E A E It’s clouds illusions I recall, I really don’t know CLOUDS at all.

Tears and fears and feeling proud, To say I love you right out loud Dreams and schemes and circus clowns, I’ve looked at love that way. But now its just another show, You leave ‘em laughing when you go And if you care, don’t let them know, Don’t give yourself away. I’ve looked at LOVE from both side now, From GIVE AND TAKE and still somehow It’s love’s illusions I recall, I really don’t know LOVE at all.

Moons and Junes and ferris wheels, The dizzy dancing way you feel When every fairy tale comes real, I’ve looked at life that way. But now old friends are acting strange, They shake their heads, they say I’ve changed. Well something’s lost and something’s gained, In living . I’ve looked at LIFE from both sides now, From WIN AND LOOSE and still somehow It’s life’s illusions I recall, I really don’t know LIFE at all. BLUE SKIES Irving Am C G7 C E7 Blue Skies smiling at me, Nothing but blue skies do I see. Am C G7 C E7 Blue birds, singing a song, Nothing but blue birds all day long. C Fm C Fm C G7 C Never saw the sun shining so bright, Never saw things going so right. C Fm C Fm C G7 C Noticing these days hurrying by, when you’re in love, my how they fly. Am C G7 C Blue days, all of them gone. Nothing but blue skies from now on.

Extra Verses: I was blue, just as blue as could be; Every day was a cloudy day for me. Then good luck came a-knocking at my door; Skies were gray but they’re not gray anymore.

3. I should care if the wind blows east or west; I should fret if the worst looks like the best I should mind if they say it can’t be true; I should smile, that’s exactly what I do. DAY IS DONE Peter Yarrow Tell me why you’re crying my son. I know you’re frightened like everyone. (Key of D) Is it the thunder in the distance you hear? Will it help if I stay very near? I am here.

So, if you take my hand my son, all will be well when the day is done. (Repeat) Day is done, day is done. Day is done, day is done.

2. Do you ask why I’m sighing my son? You shall inherit what mankind has done. In a world filled with sorrow and woe, if you ask me why this is so, I really don’t know.

3. Tell me why you’re smiling my son. Is there a secret you can tell everyone? Do you know more than men who are wise? Can you see what we all must disguise, through your loving eyes? MT AIRY SONG CIRCLE - SONG BOOK

2. I saw a man eating celery, so I beat him black and blue, If he ever touches a sprout again, I’ll bite him clean in two. I’m a political prisoner, trapped in a windowless cage, Cause I stopped the slaughter of turnips, by killing five men in a rage. I told the judge when he sentenced me, this is my finest hour I’d kill those farmers again, just to save one more cauliflower. E A D A 3. How low as people do we dare to stoop, making young broccolis bleed in the soup E A D E Untie your beans, uncage your tomatoes, let potted plants free, don’t mash that potato.

CITY OF NEW ORLEANS Arlo Guthrie G D G Em C G D7 Riding on the City of New Orleans, Illinois Central Monday morning rail. G D G Em D G Fifteen cars and fifteen riders, Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail. Em Bm D A All along the south bound odyssey, the train pulls out of Kenkakee, rolls along past houses farms & fields, Em Bm D D7 G Passing trains that have no name, freight yards full of old black men, & graveyards of rusted automobiles.

Chorus: C D7 G Em C G D7 Good morning America, how are you? Say, don’t you know me, I’m your native son. G D Em F C D G I’m the train they call the City of New Orleans. I’ll be gone 500 miles when the day is done.

Dealing card games with the old men in the club car. Penny a point ain’t no one keeping score. Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle, Feel the wheel rumbling ‘neath the floor. The sons of Pullman porters and the sons of engineers, ride their father’s magic carpets made of steel. Mothers with their babes asleep rocking to the gentle beat, and the rhythm of the rails is all they feel. Chorus Nightime 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. But all the towns and people seem to fade into a bad dream, and the steel rail still ain’t heard the news, The conductor sings his again, passengers will please refrain, this train got the disappearing blues. Good night America, how are you? Say, 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 500 miles when the day is done.

Based on traditional Andean music, this parade scene (no lyrics) from a 1913 zarzuela (musical play) by Daniel Alomía Robles is considered Peru’s second national anthem (became part of Peru’s National Cultural Heritage in 2004). The condor is a symbol of freedom. Worldwide there are more than 400 versions - 300 with lyrics. In 1933 a piano was registered in US. Simon and Garfunkel covered it in Bridge over Troubled Waters.

FRANKIE AND JOHNNIE WERE LOVERS by Jacques Prevert (French) C (E) F (A) Frankie and Johnny were lovers, Oh, Lordy how they could love. They swore to be true to each other F (A) C (E) G7 (B7) C (E) F (A) C (E) Just as true as the stars above. He was her man, but he did her wrong. Frankie and Johnny went walking. Johnny in a brand new suit. Frankie paid one hundred dollars. Just to make her man look cute. He was her man, but he did her wrong.

Johnny said, “I’ve got to leave you. But I won’t be very long. Don’t you wait up for me, honey, Nor worry while I’m gone.” He was her man, but he did her wrong. Frankie went down to the corner, stopped in to buy her some beer. Said to the local bartender, “Has my Johnny man been here?” He was her man. But he did her wrong.

“I ain’t gonna tell you no stories. I ain’t gonna tell you no lies. Johnny went by ‘bout an hour ago With a girl named Nellie Bly. If he’s your man, he’s doin’ you wrong.” Frankie went home in a hurry. She didn’t go there for fun. She knew at the back of the closet Was Johnny’s shootin’ gun. He was her man, but he doing her wrong.

She took a cab at the corner, “Driver can you hurry this cab.” Frankie was a desperate woman, Getting’ two-timed by her man. He was her man, but he’s doin’ her wrong. Frankie got out at south Clark Street. Looked in a window up high. Saw Johnny a lovin’ & kissin’ That high brow Nellie Bly. He was her man, but he was doin’ her wrong.

Johnny saw Frankie a comin’, Out the back door he did scoot. But Frankie took aim with his pistol, And the gun went roota-toot-toot. He was her man, and he did her wrong. O roll me over so easy, roll me over so slow. Roll me over easy boys, ‘Cause my wounds they hurt me so. I was her man, but I did her wrong.

Get out your rubber tired carriage, get out your rubber tired hack. There’s twelve men a going to the graveyard, but eleven comin’ back. He was her man, but he did her wrong. The sheriff arrested poor Frankie, he took her to jail the same day. He locked her up in the dungeon cell, And he threw the key away. He was her man, but he did her wrong. A murder in St Louis, Missouri at 2 am, October 15, 1899 was the inspiration for this song. Frankie Baker, a 22 year old woman, shot her 17 year old lover Allen. Several versions appears subsequently. MT AIRY SONG CIRCLE - SONG BOOK

GRANDFATHER’S CLOCK C G7 C F C Am Dm G7 My grandfather’s clock was too large for the shelf, so it stood ninety years on the floor.

GREENFIELDS Brothers Four . Am Dm Am E Am Dm Am E Once there were greenfields kissed by the sun. Once there were valleys where rivers used to run. F G C Am F G Am E Once there were blue skies with white clouds up above. Once they were part of an everlasting love. Am Dm Am E Am Dm Am E We were the lovers who strolled through greenfields.

Greenfields are gone now, parched by the sun. Gone are the valleys where rivers used to run. Gone are the blue skies with white clouds up above, that were a part of an everlasting love. Where are the lovers who strolled through greenfields. F G Am F G Am I’ll never know dear what made you run away. How can I keep searching when dark clouds hide the day. Am F Am Dm E I only know there’s nothing left for me. Nothing in this wide world left for me to see.

But I’ll keep on waiting, till you return. I’ll keep on waiting until the day you learn. You can’t be happy when your heart’s on the roam. You can’t be happy until you bring it home.

HOTEL CALIFORNIA The Eagles Am E G D On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair, Warm smell of colitis, rising up through the air. F C Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light, Dm E my head grew heavy and my sight grew dim, I had to stop for the night.

There she stood in the doorway, I heard the mission bell. And I was thinking to myself, This could be Heaven or this could be Hell. Then she lit up a candle, and she showed me the way, There were voices down the corridor, I thought I heard them say … F C E Am Welcome to the Hotel California, Such a lovely place, such a lovely face. F C Dm E Plenty of room at the Hotel California, Any time of year, you can find it here. Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends, She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys That she calls friends. How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat, Some dance to remember some dance to forget. So I called up the Captain, Please bring me my wine. He said We haven’t had the spirit here since 1969. And still those voices are calling from far away, wake you up in the middle of the night, just to hear them say CHORUS

Mirrors on the ceiling, The pink champagne on ice. And she said We are all just prisoners here, of our own device. And in the master’s chambers, They gathered for a feast, They stab it with their steely knives, They just can’t kill the beast. Last thing I remember, I was Running for the door. I had to find the passage back, To the place I was before. Relax, said the night man, We are programmed to receive You can check out any time you like, But you can never leave.

Yesterday’s eyes see their colors fading away. They see their sun turning to gray. You can’t share in a dream you don’t believe in. If you say that you see and pretend to be me, you won’t be then.

How can you ask if I’m happy going my way? You might as well ask a child at play. There’s no need to discuss or understand me. I won’t ask of myself to become something else. I’ll just be me.

IF I WERE FREE C G7 C F G7 If I were free to speak my mind, I’d tell a tale to humankind. C F C G7 C F C Of how the flowers do and fade, Of how we fought and how we gained.

This weary world has had its fill, of words of woe on every hill. The time has come for peaceful days, for peaceful men and peaceful ways.

When humankind has ceased to fight, I’ll raise my head in thanks each night For this great love and all it means, for golden days and peaceful dreams. Repeat Verse one.

A E Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet, D E7 A but the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat. 2. One day beneath the lemon tree my love and I did lie. A girl so sweet that when she smile the stars rose in the sky. We passed the summer lost in love, beneath the lemon tree. The music of her laughter hid my father’s words from me. Chorus

3. One day she left without a word. She took away the sun. And in the dark she left behind I knew what she had done. She left me for another, it’s a common tale but true. A sadder man but wiser now, I sing these words to you. Chorus

LYIN’ EYES The Eagles G Gmaj7 C Am D City girls just seem to find out early, How to open doors with just a smile. G Gmaj7 C Am C G A rich old man and she won’t have to worry, she’ll dress up all in lace and go in style. Late at night a big old house gets lonely, I guess every form of refuge has its price. And it breaks her heart to think her love is only, Given to a man with hands cold as ice.

So she tells him she must go out for the evening, To comfort an old friend who’s feeling down. But he knows where she’s going as she’s leaving, She’s headed for the cheatin’ side of town. G C G Em Bm Am D You can’t hide your lyin’ eyes, and your smile is a thin disguise. G G9 C A Am D G I thought by now you’d realize there ain’t no way to hide those lyin’ eyes. On the other side of town a boy is waiting, With firey eyes and dreams no one could steal. She drive on through the night anticipating, Cause she makes him feel the way she used to feel.

She rushes to his arms they fall together, She whispers that its only for a while. She swears that soon she’ll be coming back forever, she pulls away and leaves him with a smile CHORUS She gets up and pours herself a strong one, And stares out at the stars up in the sky, Another night, it’s gonna be a long one, She draws the shade and hangs her head to cry.

And she wonders how it ever got this crazy. She dreams about a boy she knew in school. Did she get tired or did she just get lazy. She’s so far gone, she feels just like a fool.

My oh my, you sure know how to arrange thing, You set it up so well, so carefully. Ain’t it funny how your new life didn’t change things, You’re still the same old girl you used to be. CHORUS There ain’t no way to hid your lyin’ eyes. Honey, you can’t hide your lyin’ eyes.

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes, snow flakes that stay on my nose and eye lashes, Silver white winters that melt into spring, these are a few of my favorite things.

ME AND BOBBY McGEE in G Busted flat in Baton Rouge headin’ for the trains. Feeling nearly faded as my jeans. Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained. Took us all the way to New Orleans. I took my harpoon out of my dirty bandana, And was blowin’ sad while Bobby sang the blues. With them windshield wipers slappin’ time and Bobby clappin’ hands we finally Sang up every song that driver knew. Freedom’s just another word for nothin’ left to lose. And nothin’ ain’t worth nothin’ but its free. Feelin’ good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues. And feeling good was good enough for me. Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee.

M.T.A. - The Kingston Trio (in D) 1. Well, let me tell you of the story of a man named Charley on a tragic and fateful day. He put ten cents in his pocket, kissed his wife and family, went to ride on the M. T. A.

Chorus: Well, did he ever return? No, he never returned and his fate is still unlearned. (What a pity! Poor ole Charlie. Shame and scandal. He may ride forever. Just like Paul Revere.) He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston. He's the man who never returned.

2. Charlie handed in his dime at the Kendall Square Station, and he changed for Jamaica Plain. When he got there the conductor told him, "One more nickel." Charlie couldn't get off of that train.

3. Now, 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 Rocksbury?"

4. Charlie's wife goes down to the Sculley Square Station every day at quarter past two, And through the open window she hands Charlie a sandwich as the train comes rumblin' through.

5. Now, you citizens of Boston, don't you think it's a scandal how the people have to pay and pay? Fight the fare increase! Vote for George O'Brien! Get poor Charlie off the M. T. A. End: He's the man who never returned. He's the man who never returned. Ain't you Charlie?

MY GRANDPA’S HANDS Chuck Pyle C G7 F C F My Grandpa rode this yellow plain. He taught the sky when to make it rain. And he taught the lightening C G7 F C G7 F C how to turn the night into day. He would make the cloud ships form, then he’d escape into the storm, F C G7 F And he’d reappear, striking fear in every soldier’s heart. C G7 C F C G7 South of Rocky Ford, on a sea of sand and grass. G7 C F C G7 C With no sign of island or shore, there lies the grave of my Grandpa’s hands.

And when he let them have their way, they divided him seven different ways. So afraid were they he would rise again to strike them down. Seven different soldiers acting alone, seven different graves, whereabouts unknown, And one lone soldier came to bury his hands in the grasslands.

A quarter moon rose out of time, on a vanishing point, down an old fence line, Sweet grass and timothy, as far as you can see the Comanche Grasslands. MT AIRY SONG CIRCLE - SONG BOOK

MANDOLIN RAIN Bruce Hornsby

D A Em Bm G A 1. The song came and went, Like the times that we spent, Hiding out from the rain. A G D A Em Bm Under the carnival tent, I laughed and she smiled, It would last for while. Bm G A G You don’t know what you’ve got till you lose it all again.

Chorus: G Em D Bm A Listen to the mandolin rain. Listen to the music on the lake. A Em D Bm A Listen to my heart break. Everytime she runs away. A Em D Bm A Listen to the banjo wind. A sad song drifting low. A G D G D Listen to my tears roll. Down my face as she turns to go.

D A Em Bm G A G 2. A cool evening dance, Listening to the bluegrass band. Takes the chill from the air Until they play the last D A Em Bm G A G song. I’ll do my time, Keeping you off my mind. But there’s moments that I find, I’m not feeling too strong.

D A Em Bm G A G 3. The boats are steaming in, I watch the sidewheel spin. And I think about her when I hear that whistle D A Em Bm G A G blow. I can’t change my mind, I knew it all the time that she’d go. But that’s a choice I made long ago. MT AIRY SONG CIRCLE - SONG BOOK

RIVER OF DREAMS Billy Joel G In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep, C D From the mountain of faith to a river so deep G D I must be looking for something something sacred I lost, C D But the river is wide and its too hard to cross. Em D C Bm And even though I knew the river is wide, I walk down every evening and I stand on the shore. Em D A7 D And try to cross to the opposite side. So I can finally find what I’ve been looking for. In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep, From the valley of fear to a river so deep And I’ve been searching for something taken away of my soul. Something I would never lose, something somebody stole. 2. I don’t know why I go walking at night. But now I’m tired and I don’t walk anymore. I hope it doesn’t take the rest of my life, Until I find what it is I’ve been looking for. In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep, Through the jungle of doubt to a river so deep. I know I’m searching for something, something so undefined. C D G That it only can be seen by the eyes of a blind, In the middle of the night. 3. I’m not sure about life after this, God knows I’ve never been a spiritual man. Em Am A7 D Baptized by the fire, I wade into the river, That turns to be the promised land. In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep, Through the desert of truth to a river so deep. We’re all land in the ocean we all start in the streams. We’re all carried along by the river of dreams, In the middle of the night.

SWINGIN’ ON A STAR CHORUS: Would you like to swing on a star? Carry moonbeams home in a jar? (D A D) And be better off than you are? Or would you like to be a mule? (pig) (fish) (D A D)

2. A pig is an animal with dirt on his face. His shoes are a terrible disgrace. He’s got no manners when he eats his food. He’s fat and lazy and extremely rude. But if you don’t give a feather or a fig, you might grow up to be a pig.

3. A fish won’t do anything but swim in a brook. He can’t write his name or read a book. To fool the people is his only thought. Although he’s slippery he still gets caught/ But then if that sort of life is what you wish, you might grow up to be a fish.

TRAMP, TRAMP, TRAMP (Civil War Song) George Root in E A Northern song became popular among the Confederacy. Later it became a Sunday School song. NORTHERN VERSION (Original 1864) 1. In the prison cell I sit thinking Mother dear of you, And our bright and happy home so far away. And the tears they fill my eyes, spite of all that I can do Though I try to cheer my comrades and be gay.

Chorus: Tramp, Tramp! Tramp! The boys are marching. Cheer up comrades they will come. And beneath the starry flag, we shall breathe the air again Of the free land in our own beloved home. 2. In the battle front we stood, when their fiercest charge they made. And they swept us off a hundred men or more. But before we reached their lines, They were beaten back dismayed. And we heard the cry of victry o’er and o’er. 3. So within the prison cell, we are waiting for the day That shall come to open wide the iron door And the hollow eye grows bright, and the poor heart almost gay, as we think of seeing home and friends once more. SOUTHERN VERSION (Original 1864) In my prison cell I sit, thinking Mother dear of you. And my happy Southern home so far away. And my eyes they fill with tears, ‘spite of all that I can do, though I try to cheer my comrades and be gay. Tramp, tramp, tramp the boys are marching. Cheer up comrades they will come. And beneath the stars and bars we will breathe the air again, of the freemen in our own beloved home. 2. In the battle front we stood, when their fiercest charge they made. And our soldiers by the thousands sank to die. But before they reached our lines they were driven back dismayed. And the Rebel Yell went upward to the sky. 3. Now our great Commander Lee, crosses broad Potomac’s stream, and his legions marching northward take their way. On Pennsylvannia’s roads will their trusty muskets gleam, and her iron hills shall echo in the fray. 4. In the cruel stockade-pen, dying slowly day by day, for weary months we’ ve waited all in vain. But if God will speed the way of our gallant boys in gray, I shall see your face, dear Mother, yet again. 5. When I close my eyes in sleep, all the dear ones ‘round me come, at night my little sister to me calls. And mocking visions bring all the warm delights of home, while we freeze and starve in Northern prison walls. Sunday School Song: Jesus loves the little children. All the .

THE WRECK OF THE EDMUND FITZGERALD Gordon Lightfoot

Asus2 Em G D Asus2 The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down, Of the big lake they called “Gitche Gumee” Em G D Asus2 The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead, When the skies of November turn gloomy. Em G D Asus2 With a load of iron ore 26 thousand tons more, Than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty, Em G D Asus2 That good ship and crew was a bone to be chewed When the “Gales of November” came early.

2. The ship was the pride of the American side, Coming back from some mill in Wisconsin. As the big freighters go, it was bigger than most, With a crew and good captain well seasoned. Concluding some terms with a couple of steel firm, When they left fully loaded for Cleveland, And later than night when the ship’s bell rang, Could it be the north wind they’d been feelin’?

3. The wind in the wires made a tattle-tale sound, And every man knew, as the captain did, too, T’was the witch of November come stealin’, The dawn came late and the breakfast had to wait, When the Gales of November came slashin’ When afternoon came it was freezin’ rain, In the face of a hurricane west wind.

4. When suppertime came, the old cook came on deck, Say’ “Fellas, it’s too rough to feed ya.” At seven p.m. a main hatchway caved in, he said “Fellas, it’s been good t’know ya.” The captain wired in he had water comin’ in, And the good ship and crew was in peril, And later that night when ‘is lights went outta sight, Came the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

5. Does anyone know where the love of God goes, When the waves turn the minutes to hours? The searches all say they’d have made Whitefish Bay, If they’d put 15 more miles behind her. They might have split up or they might have capsized, They may have broke deep & took water All that remains is the faces and names, Of the wives and the sons and the daughters.

6. Lake Huron rolls, Superior sings, In the rooms of her ice-water mansion, Old Michigan steams like a young man’s dreams, The islands and bays are for sportsmen. And farther below Lake Ontario, Takes in what Lake Erie can send her, And the iron boats go as the mariners all know, With the Gales of November remembered.

7. In a musty old hall in Detroit they prayer, In the “Maritime Sailors’ Cathedral,” The church bell chimed till it rang 29 times, For each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald. The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down, Of the big lake they call “Gitche Gumee” “Superior” they said, “never gives up her dead, When the ‘Gales of November’ come early!”

WHEN I FALL IN LOVE (Sleepless in Seattle) Capo 1 D A D B7 Em , It will be forever. Or I’ll never fall in love. D Gdim D/F A/C B7 In a restless world like this is, love is ended before it’s begun. Em7 B7 Em Em7 A/C A7 And too many moonlight kisses seem to cool in the warmth of the sun. D A7 D B7 Em Gdim When I give my heart, It will be completely, Or I’ll never give my heart. D/F G B7 Em Gm6 D Em7 A7 D (Fdim Em7 A7) G D And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too, Is when I fall in love with you. MT AIRY SONG CIRCLE - SONG BOOK

WAGON WHEEL Bob Dylan Intro: G D Em C, G D C C G D Em C Headed down south to the land of the Pine, I’m thumbin’ my way into North Caroline. G D C G D Staring up the road and (I) pray to God I see headlights, I made it down the coast in 17 hours. Em C G D C Pickin me a bouquet of dogwood flowers and I’m Hopin’ for Raleigh I can see my baby tonight.

Chorus G D Em C So rock me mama like a wagon wheel. Rock me mama any way you feel. G D C Hey mama rock me. G D Em C Rock me mama like the wind and the rain, Rock me mama like a south bound train. G D C Hey mama rock me.

Runnin’ from the cold up in New England, I was born to be a fiddler in an old time string band. My baby plays the guitar, I pick the banjo now, Oh north country winters keep-a getting’ me low. An I lost my money playin’ poker so I had to up and leave, But I ain’t turning back, To live that old life no more. Chorus

Walkin’ to the south out of Roanoke, I caught a trucker out of Philly had a mice long toke. But he’s a-headed west from the Cumberland Gap, Johnson City Tennessee. I gotta get a move on before the sun, I hear my baby callin’ my name and I know that she’s the only one. And if I die in Raleigh at least I will die free. Chorus

WHERE HAVE ALL THE FLOWERS GONE

Where have all the flowers gone, long time passing. G Em C D7 Where have all the flowers gone, long time ago. G Em C D7 Where have all the flowers gone, young girls picked them everyone. G Em C D7 When will they ever learn? Oh when will they ever learn? C G C D7 G

Where have all the young girls gone, long time passing. (Repeat 2x) Gone to young men, everyone. When will they ever learn? Oh when will they ever learn?

Where have all the young men gone, long time passing. (Repeat 2x) Gone to soldiers every one. When will they ever learn? When will they ever learn?

Where have all the soldiers gone, long time passing. (Repeat 2x) Gone to graveyards everyone. When will they ever learn? Oh when will they ever learn?

Where have all the graveyards gone, long time passing. (Repeat 2x) Gone to flowers every one. When will they ever learn? Oh when will they ever learn?

YELLOW BIRD Haitian Song – Kingston Trio A E7 A E7 A Yellow bird, Up high in banana tree, Yellow bird, You sit all alone like me D A E7 A Did your lady friend, Leave the nest again? That is very sad, Makes me feel so bad, D A E7 A You can fly away, In the sky away, You're more lucky than me. A D E7 A D I also have a pretty gal, She not with me today, They’re all the same those pretty gals, E7 A They make a nest then they fly away. Refrain

2. Let her fly away, In the sky away, Picker coming soon, Pick from night to noon, Black and yellow you, Like banana too, He might pick you someday. Wish that I were a yellow bird, I’d fly away with you, But I am not a yellow bird, So here I sit, Nothin' else to do.

You are the sunshine of my life, that’s why I’ll always stay around. You are the apple of my eye, forever you’ll stay in my heart.
