I Walk the Line
Johnny Cash
A E7 A
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
A E7 A
I keep my eyes wide open all the time.
A D A
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
A E7 A
Because you’re mine, I walk the line
I find it very, very easy to be true
I find myself alone when each day is through
Yes, I’ll admit I’m a fool for you
Because you’re mine, I walk the line
As sure as night is dark and day is light
I keep you on my mind both day and night
And happiness I’ve known proves that it’s right
Because you’re mine, I walk the line
You’ve got a way to keep me on your side
You give me cause for love that I can’t hide
For you I know I’d even try to turn the tide
Because you’re mine, I walk the line

Down beside where the waters flow, down by the banks of the Ohio.

And only say, that you’ll be mine.

I held a knife against her breast, as into my arms she pressed.
Willie, oh Willie, don’t murder me, I’m not prepared for eternity.
And only say, that you’ll be mine….
I started home ‘twixt tvvelve and one, crying my god, what have I done?
Killed the only woman I loved, because she would not be my bride.
And only say, that you’ll be mine….

FIRST WE TAKE MANHATTAN
Leonard Cohen
Dm Am
They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom
Dm Am
For trying to change the system from within
Dm Am
I’m coming now I’m coming to reward them
G F E Am
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
Dm Am
I’m guided by a signal in the heavens
Dm Am
I’m guided by this birthmark on my skin
Dm Am
I’m guided by the beauty of our weapons
G F E Am
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
C G F
I’d really like to live beside you, baby
C Am
I love your body and your spirit and your clothes
C Am
But you see that line there moving through the station
G F E Am
I told you I told you I told you I was one of those
Dm Am
You loved me as a loser but now your worried that I just might win
Dm Am
You know the way to stop me but you don’t have the discipline
Dm Am
How many nights I prayed for this: to let my work begin
G F E Am
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
Dm Am
I don’t like your fashion business, mister

I don’t like these drugs that keep you thin

Leonard Cohen
G Em
I heard there was a secret chord
G Em
that David played and it pleased the Lord,
C G
But you don’t really care for music do you.
G C D
It goes like this the fourth the fifth,
Em C D
the minor fall and the major lift
D Em
The baffled king composing hallelujah
C Em C G-D-G
Halleluja, Halleluja, Halleluja, Halleluja
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
You say I took the name in vain
I don’t even know the name
But if I did, well really, what’s it to ya?
There’s a blaze of light in every word
It doesn’t matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
I did my best, it wasn’t much
I couldn’t feel, so I tried to touch
I’ve told the truth, I didn’t come to fool ya
And even though it all went wrong
I’ll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah

We met when we were almost young
C G
Deep in the green Lilac park

You held on to me like I was a crucifix

Suzanne
Leonard Cohen
[G]Suzanne takes you down
To her place by the river,
You can [Am]hear the boats go by,
You can spend the night beside her,
And you [G]know that she’s half crazy,
And that’s why you want to be there;
And she [Bm]feeds you tea and oranges
That come [C]all the way from China;
And j[G]ust when you mean to tell her
That you have no love to give her,
She [Am]gets you on her wave-length
And lets the river answer
That you’ve [G]always been her lover.
{c:Chorus:}
And you [Bm]want to travel with her,
And you [C]want to travel blind,
And you [G]know that you can trust her,
For you’ve [Am]touched her perfect body
With your [G]mind.
And Jesus was a sailor
When He walked upon the water,
And he spent a long time watching
From a lonely wooden tower,
And when he knew for certain
Only drowning men could see Him,
He said, «All men shall be brothers, then,
Until the sea shall free them,»
But He himself was broken
Long before the sky would open,
Forsaken, almost human,
He sank beneath your wisdom
Like a stone.
{c:Chorus:}
And you want to travel with Him,
And you want to travel blind,
And you think you maybe trust Him,
For He’s touched your perfect body
With His mind.
Suzanne takes you down
To her place by the river,
You can hear the boats go by,
You can spend the night forever,
And the sun pours down like honey,
On our lady of the harbour;
And she shows you where to look
Amid the garbage and the flowers.
There are heroes in the seaweed,
There are children in the morning,
They are leaning out for love,
And they will lean that way forever,
While Suzanne holds the mirror.
{c:Chorus:}
And you want to travel with her,
And you want to travel blind,
And you think maybe you’ll trust her,
For you’ve touched her perfect body
With your mind.

Farewell Angelina
Joan Baez
C F C Csus4 C
Farewell Angelina, the bells of the crown
F C Csus4 C
Are being stolen by bandits, I must follow the sound
F C (Baez=G) Csus4 C
The triangle tingles, the music plays slow
Am Em Am Em F C Csus4 C
But farewell Angelina, the night is on fire, and I must go
There is no use in talking and there’s no need for blame
There is nothing to prove, everything still is the same
The table stands empty by the edge of the stream
But farewell Angelina, the sky’s changing colors, and I must leave
The jacks and the queens they have forsake the courtyard
Fifty-two gypsies now file past the guard
In the space where the duece and the ace once ran wild
Farewell Angelina, the sky is folding, I’ll see you after a while
See the cross-eyed pirate sit perched in the sun
Shooting tin cans with a sawed-off shotgun
And the coporels and the neighbors clap and cheer with each blast
But farewell Angelina, the sky is trembling, and I must leave fast
King Kong little elves in the rooftops they dance
Valentino-type tangos while the hero’s clean hands
Shut the eyes of the dead not to embarass anyone
Farewell Angelina, the sky is flooding over, and I must be gone
The camoflaged parrot, he flutters from fear
When something he doesn’t know about suddenly appears
What can not be imitated perfect must die
Farewell Angelina, the sky’s flooding over, and I must go where it is dry
Machine guns are roaring, puppets heave rocks
At misunderstood visions and at the faces of clocks
Call me any name you like, I will never deny it
But farewell Angelina, the sky is erupting, and I must go where it is quiet

GIRL FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY
Bob Dylan
G C D G
Well, if you’re travellin’ in the north country fair,
G
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline
C G
Remember me to one who lives there
G C D G
She once was a true love of mine.
Well, if you go in the snowflake storm
When the rivers freeze and summer ends
Please see she has a coat so warm
To keep her from the howlin’ winds.
Please see for me if her hair hangs long
If it rolls and flows all down her breast,
Please see for me if her hair hangs long,
That’s the way I remember her best.
I’m a wonderin’ if she remembers me at all
Many times I’ve often prayed
In the darkness of my night
In the brightness of my day.
So if you’re travellin’ in the north country fair,
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline
Remember me to one who lives there,
She once was a true love of mine.

They say every man needs protection.
They every man must fall.
Yet I swear I see my reflection,
Somewhere so high above the wall.
I see my light come shining,
>From the west unto the east.
Any day now,
Any day now,
I shall be released.
Well onder stands a man in this lonely crowd,
A man who swears he not to blame.
All day long I hear him cry shouting loud,
Calling out that he’s been framed.
I see my light come shining,
>From the west unto the east.
Any day now,
Any day now,
I shall be released.
It’s all over now, Baby Blue.

You must leave now, take what you need, you think will last
G F C
But whatever you wish to keep, you better grab it fast
Dm F C
Yonder stands your orphan with his gun
Dm F C
Crying like a fire in the sun
E(7) F G
Look out the saints are coming through
Dm F C
And it’s all over now, Baby Blue.
The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense.
Take what you have gathered from coincidence.
The empty-handed painter from your streets
Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets.
This sky, too, is folding under you
And it’s all over now, Baby Blue.
All your seasick sailors, they are rowing home.
Your empty handed armies, they’re all going home.
The lover who just walked out your door
Has taken all his blankets from the floor.
The carpet, too, is moving under you
And it’s all over now, Baby Blue.
Leave your stepping stones behind, something calls for you.
Forget the dead you’ve left, they will not follow you.
The vagabond who’s rapping at your door
Is standing in the clothes that you once wore.
Strike another match, go start anew
And it’s all over now, Baby Blue.
Mama you been on my mind
Bob Dylan
Capo 4, standard tuning
C C7 C7/B Am
Perhaps it’s the color of the sun cut flat I’m coverin’
D7
The crossroads I’m standing at
C C/B Am Am/G F
Or maybe it’s the weather or something like that
C G C (sometimes G, sometimes riff)
But mama you been on my mind
I don’t mean trouble please don’t put me down or get
upset I am not pleading
Or saying I can’t forget you
I do not pace the floor bow down and beg but yet
Mama you been on my mind
Even though my eyes are hazy and my thoughts they might be narrow
where you been don’t bother me
Or bring me down with sorrow
I don’t even mind who you’ll be waking with tomorrow
Mama you’re just on my mind
I’m not asking you to say words like yes or no please understand me
I have no place I’m calling you to go
I’m just whisperin’ to myself so I can’t pretend that I don’t know
Mama you are on my mind
When you wake up in the morning baby look inside your mirror
you know I won’t be next to you
You know I won’t be near
I’d just be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear
As someone who has had you on his mind
WEDDING SONG
Bob Dylan
(Am)I love you more than (C)ever, more than (G)time and more than love,
(Am)I love you more than (C)money and more (G)than the stars above,
(F)Love you more than (C)madness, more than (D)dreams upon the sea,
(Am)Love you more than (C)life itself, you (G)mean that much to me.
Ever since you walked right in, the circle’s been complete,
I’ve said goodbye to haunted rooms and faces in the street,
To the courtyard of the jester which is hidden from the sun,
I love you more than ever and I haven’t yet begun.
You breathed on me and made my life a richer one to live,
When I was deep in poverty you taught me how to give,
Dried the tears up from my dreams and pulled me from the hole,
Quenched my thirst and satisfied the burning in my soul.
You gave me babies one, two, three, what is more, you saved my life,
Eye for eye and tooth for tooth, your love cuts like a knife,
My thoughts of you don’t ever rest, they’d kill me if I lie,
I’d sacrifice the world for you and watch my senses die.
The tune that is yours and mine to play upon this earth,
We’ll play it out the best we know, whatever it is worth,
What’s lost is lost, we can’t regain what went down in the flood,
But happiness to me is you and I love you more than blood.
It’s never been my duty to remake the world at large,
Nor is it my intention to sound a battle charge,
‘Cause I love you more than all of that with a love that doesn’t bend,
And if there is eternity I’d love you there again.
Oh, can’t you see that you were born to stand by my side
And I was born to be with you, you were born to be my bride,
You’re the other half of what I am, you’re the missing piece
And I love you more than ever with that love that doesn’t cease.
You turn the tide on me each day and teach my eyes to see,
Just bein’ next to you is a natural thing for me
And I could never let you go, no matter what goes on,
‘Cause I love you more than ever now that the past is gone.
HOTEL CALIFORNIA
Eagles
Bm F#
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
A E
Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air
G D
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
Em
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
F#
I had to stop for the night
Bm F#
There she stood in the doorway; I heard the mission bell
A E
And I was thinking to myself this could be heaven or this could be hell
G D
Then she lit up a candle, and she showed me the way
Em F#
There were voices down the corridor, I thought I heard them say
Chorus :
G D
Welcome to the Hotel California.
Em Bm7
Such a lovely place, such a lovely face
G D
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Em F#
Any time of year (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.»
«We haven’t had that spirit here since nineteen sixty-nine»
And still those voices are calling from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night, just to hear them say
CHORUS (with ending 2)
Jealous guy
Johjn Lennon
G Em D
I was dreaming of the past
Em Em7
And my heart was beating fast
D Em
I began to lose control
C
I began to lose control
G F C
I didn’t mean to hurt you
G F A#
I’m sorry that I made you cry
G D Em C
I didn’t mean to hurt you
G
I’m just a jealous guy
I was feeling insecure
You might not love me any more
I was shivering inside
I was shivering inside
I didn’t mean to hurt you
I’m sorry that I made you cry
I didn’t mean to hurt you
I’m just a jealous guy
I was trying to catch your eyes
Thought that you were trying to hide
I was swallowing my pain
I was swallowing my pain
I didn’t mean to hurt you
I’m sorry that I made you cry
I didn’t mean to hurt you
I’m just a jealous guy
Killing me softly
Roberta Flack
Chorus:
Em Am
Strumming my pain with his fingers
D7 G
singing my life with his words
Em A
killing me softly with his song
D C
killing me softly with his song
G C
telling my whole life with his words.
Esus4
Killing me softly
E
with his song.
Am7 D
I heard he sang a good song
G C
I heard he had a style
Am7 D
and so I came to see him
Em
and listen for a while.
Am7 D7
And there he was this young boy
G H7
a stranger to my eyes.
(Chorus)
I felt all flushed with fever
embarrassed by the crowd.
I felt he found my letters
and read each one out loud.
I prayed that he would finish
but he just kept right on.
(Chorus)
He sang as if he knew me
in all my dark despair.
And then he looked right through me
as if I wasn’t there.
And he just kept on singing
singing clear and strong.
(Chorus)

«Delilah»
Tom Jones
Em B A
I saw the light on the night that I passed by her window
Em B A
I saw the flickering shadows of love on her blind
E E7 Am
She was my woman
Em B E D
As she betrayed me I watched, and went out of my mind
G D
My, my, my, Delilah
D G
Why, why, why, Delilah
G G7 C Am
I could see that girl was no good for me
G D G C
But I was lost like a slave that no one could free
At break of day when that man drove away I was waiting
I crossed the street to her house and she opened the door
She stood there laughing
I felt the knife in my hand, and she laughed no more
My, my, my, Delilah
Why, why, why, Delilah
Like before they came to break down the door
Forgive me, Delilah, I just couldn’t take any more
She stood there laughing
I felt the knife in my hand, and she laughed no more
My, my, my, Delilah
Why, why, why, Delilah
Like before they came to break down the door
Forgive me, Delilah, I just couldn’t take any more
Forgive me, Delilah, I just couldn’t take any more
