[D] Headin' for the station with a pack on my back, [D] I'm tired of transportation in the back of hack, I [G] love to hear the rhythm of the clickity clack, And [D] hear the lonesome whistle, see the smoke from the stack, And [A7] pal around with democratic fellows named Mac; So, [D] take me right back to the track, Jack!

Chorus: [G] Choo choo, choo choo, cha boogie! [D] Woo woo, ooh ooh, cha boogie! [G] Choo choo, choo choo, cha boogie! [D] Take me right back to the track, Jack!

[D] You reach your destination, but alas and alack! [D] You need some compensation to get back in the black, You [G] take your morning paper from the top of the stack, And [D] read the situation from the front to the back, The [A7] only job that's open needs a man with a knack, So [D] put it right back in the rack, Jack!

Chorus:

Lead Break – 12 Bar blues [D] [D] [D] [D] [G] [G] [D] [D] [A7] [G] [D] [A7]

Dm C Dm In restless dreams I walked alone, narrow streets of cobble stone F Bb F Bb F 'Neath the halo of a street lamp, I turned my collar to the cold and damp Bb F Dm When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light that split the night F C Dm And touched the sounds of silence

Dm C Dm And in the naked light I saw ten thousand people, maybe more F Bb F Bb F People talking without speaking, people hearing without listening, Bb F Dm People writing songs that voices never shared, no one dared F C Dm Disturb the sounds of silence.

Dm C Dm "Fools!" said I, "you do not know, silence like a cancer grows F Bb F Bb F Hear my words that I might teach you, take my arms that I might reach you." Bb F Dm But my words like silent raindrops fell... F C Dm And echoed in the wells of silence

Dm C Dm And the people bowed and prayed to the neon gods they made F Bb F Bb F And the sign flashed out its warning, in the words that it was forming, Bb F And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls Dm F C Dm And tenement halls." and whispered in the sounds of silence. 211

On a [C] warm summer's evenin’, on a [F] train bound for [C] nowhere I [C] met up with the gambler, we were both too tired to [G7] sleep So [C] we took turns a-starin’, out the [F] window at the [C] darkness Till [F] boredom over-[C]took us [G] and he began to [C] speak

He said [C] “Son I've made a life, out of [F] readin’ peoples’ [C] faces And [C] knowin’ what their cards were, by the way they held their [G7] eyes So if [C] you don't mind my sayin’, I can [F] see you're out of [C] aces For a [F] taste of your [C] whiskey, I'll [G] give you some ad-[C]vice” [C]

So I [C] handed him my bottle, and he [F] drank down my last [C] swallow [C] Then he bummed a cigarette, and asked me for a [G7] light And the [C] night got deathly quiet, and his [F] face lost all ex-[C]pression Said “if you're [F] gonna play the [C] game boy, ya gotta [G] learn to play it [C] right CHORUS: You got to [C] know when to hold 'em [F] know when to [C] fold 'em [F] Know when to [C] walk away, and know when to [G] run You never [C] count your money, when you're [F] sittin’ at the [C] table There'll be [C] time e-[F]nough for [C] countin’ [G] when the dealin’s [C] done [C]

[D] / [D] /

[D] Every gambler knows, that the [G] secret to sur-[D]vivin’ Is [D] knowin’ what to throw away, and knowin’ what to [A7] keep ‘Cause [D] every hand's a winner, and [G] every hand's a [D] loser And the [G] best that you can [D] hope for is to [A] die in your [D] sleep.”

And [D] when he'd finished speakin’, he [G] turned back toward the [D] window [D] Crushed out his cigarette, and faded off to [A7] sleep And [D] somewhere in the darkness, the [G] gambler he broke [D] even But [G] in his final [D] words I found an [A] ace that I could [D] keep

CHORUS 1 You got to [D] know when to hold 'em [G] know when to [D] fold 'em [G] Know when to [D] walk away, and know when to [A] run You never [D] count your money, when you're [G] sittin’ at the [D] table There'll be [D] time e-[G]nough for [D] countin’ [A] when the dealin’s [D] done

Sleep [D] Australia sleep the [G] night is on the [D] creep Shut [D] out the noise all [A] around Sleep [D] Australia sleep and [G] dream of counting [D] sheep Jumping [D] in fields [A] coloured [D] brown Who’ll [G] rock the cradle and [D] cry Who’ll [Bm] rock the cradle and [A] cry

Sleep [D] Australia sleep as off the [G] cliff the kingdoms [D] leap Count [D] them as [A] they say [D] goodbye Count [A] down the little things the [D] insects and birds Count [Bm] down the bigger things the [Em] flocks and the herds Count [G] down our rivers Our [D] pastures and trees But there's [Bm] no need to hurry oh [Em] sleep don't worry Cause it's [G] only a matter of [A] degrees

Fog [D] Australia fog just [G] like the boiling [D] frog As [D] we go we [A] won't feel a [D] thing

Hum [D] [G] [D] [A] [D] [G] [D] [A] [D]

Who’ll [G] rock the cradle and [D] cry Who’ll [Bm] rock the cradle and [A] cry

Sleep [D] my country sleep as off the [G] cliff the kingdoms [D] leap Count [D] them as [A] they pass on[D] by Our [G] children might know them but their [D] children will not We won't [Bm] know til it's gone all the [Em] glory we've got But there are [G] more wonders coming All new [D] kinds of shows With [Bm] acid seas rising To kiss [D] coastal mountains And [Bm] big cyclones pounding And [D] firestorms devouring And we'll [Em] lose track of counting As the[F#m] corpses keep mounting But hey [G] that's just the way this old world [A] goes

Sleep [D] my country sleep as we [G] sow so shall we [D] reap Who’ll [D] rock the [A] cradle and [D] cry 262 Trip the Light Alicia Lemke Key C Original key D Sing C Intro: C F C G Am F C G C F C G Am F C G If [C] all the days that [F] come to pass Are [C] behind these [G] walls I’ll [Am] be left at the [F] end of things In [C] a world kept [G] small
