FATHER AND SON

Cat Stevens

 

G              D            C                 Am7

It’s not time to make a change, just relax and take it easy

G                 Em

You’re still young that’s your fault,

Am               D

there’s so much you have to know

G            D            C                Am7

Find a girl, settle down, if you want to, you can marry

G        Em           Am     D

Look at me, I am old, but I’m happy

G                 Bm7        C                 Am7

I was once like you are now, and I know that its not easy

G                 Em                    Am   D

to be calm, when you’ve found something going on.

G             Bm7           C                Am7

But take your time, think a lot, think of everything you’ve got

G               Em               D          G

For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not

 

G-C G-C

 

Chorus:

G          Bm             C                  Am7

How can I try to explain?  when I do he turns away again

G               Em             Am    D

it’s always been the same, same old story

G              Bm         C          Am7

From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen

G         Em     D       G

now there’s a way and I know I have to go away

D      C       G    G-C  G-C

and I know I have to go

 

 

 

 

HARD HEADED WOMAN

Cat Stevens

 

Dm    G                         C

I’m looking for a hard headed woman

Cm                F        Dm   Am

One who’ll take me for myself

Bb         G       C           F

And if I find my hard headed woman

Bb           C        F         Am

I won’t need nobody else, no, no, no

 

I’m looking for a hard headed woman

One who’ll make me do my best

And if I find my hard headed woman

I know the rest of my life will be blessed, yes, yes, yes

 

Dm   G                  C

I know a lot of fancy dancers

Cm               F              Dm    Am/F

People who can glide you on a floor

Bb        F          Bb          F    C

They move so smooth but have no answers

Gm            C                          F  Am

When you ask «why’d you come here for?»

Am             D              Am

I know, many fine feathered friends

D               F       E          A

but their friendliness depends on how you do

 

Dm     G                        C

I’m looking for a hard headed woman

Cm               F           Dm   Am  F

one who’ll make me feel so good

Bb     F  Bb            F      C

And if I find my hard headed woman

I know my life will be as it should, yes, yes, yes

How Can I Tell You

Cat Stevens

 

intro: Em A D G

Em           A               D G D G      Em  A

How can I tell you that I love  you, I love you

D     G        D              G

But I can’t think of right words to say

Em              A               D G    D        G

I long to tell you that I am always thinking of you,

Em                 A

I’m always thinking of you,

D     G     D       G  D G D        G

But my words just blow away,     just blow away

Em                   A

It always ends up to one thing, honey,

D     G     D                 G    Em A

And I can’t think of right words to say.

 

Wherever I am, girl,

I am always walking with you,

I am always walking with you,

But I look and you’re not there,

Whoever I’m with I’m always,

I’m always talking to you,

I’m always talking to you,

And I’m sad that you can’t hear,

Sad that you can’t hear,

It always adds up to one thing, honey,

When I look and you’re not there.

 

Em A D G D G  (repeat 4 times)

I need to know you,

Need to feel my arms around you,

Feel my arms surround you,

Like sea around a shore,

I pray in hope that I might find you,

In hope that I might find you,

Because hearts can do no more,

Can do no more.

It always adds up to one thing, honey,

Still I kneel upon the floor.

Say something once, why say it again

I caught you knocking at my cellar door,

I love you, baby, can I have some more?

 

C F              Esus4  E

Oh the damage done.

 

I hit the city and I lost my band,

I watched the needle take another man,

Gone, gone, the damage done.

 

I sing the song because I love the man,

I know that some of you don’t understand;

milk-blood to keep from runnin’ out.

 

I’ve seen The Needle And The Damage Done,

A little part of it in everyone,

But every junkie’s like a settin’ sun.

You’ve got a friend

Carol King

 

When you’re [Em] down and [B7] troubled and you [Em] need some [B7] lovin’ [Em] care

And [Am] nothing, [D] nothing is going [G] right

[F#m] Close your eyes and [B7] think of me and [Em] soon I [B7] will be [Em] there

To [Am] brighten up [D] even your darkest [Am] nights

 

{start_of_chorus}

You just [G] call out my name, and you [C] know, wherever I am,

I come [G] running to see you [Am] again [D7]

[G] Winter spring summer or [G7] fall [C] all you got to do is [Am] call

And I’ll [C] be there, yes I [Am] will

{end_of_chorus}

 

[A] You’ve got a [G] friend

 

If the [Em] sky a[B7]bove you grows [Em] dark and [B7] full of [Em] clouds,

and [Am] that old north [D] wind begins to [G] blow

Epitaph

King Crimson

 

Em                    D                 Am              B+  B

The wall on which the prophets wrote is cracking at the seams

Upon the instruments of death the sunlight brightly gleams

When every man is torn apart with nightmares and with dreams

Will no one lay the laurel wreath as silence drowns the screams

 

Em                      Bm

Confusion will be my epitaph

As I walk a cracked and broken path               C                      Bm

If we make it we can all sit back and laugh but I fear tomorrow I’ll be crying

 

Em                    D                 Am              B+  B

Between the iron gates of fate the seeds of time were sown

And watered by the deeds of those who know and who are known

Knowledge is a deadly friend when no one sets the rules

The fate of all mankind I see is in the hands of fools

 

 

 

Em                      Bm

Confusion will be my epitaph

As I walk a cracked and broken path               C                      Bm

If we make it we can all sit back and laugh but I fear tomorrow I’ll be crying

 

 

 

I talk to the wind

King Crimnsom

 

 

 

E                    C7+             G7+             Am   B7

Said the straight man to the late man where have you been

E               C7+                  G7+             Am   B7

I’ve been here and I’ve been there and I’ve been in between

E      G7+         E         G7+

I talk to the wind my words are all carried away

E      G7+         Am             B7

I talk to the wind the wind does not hear

Am       B7

The wind cannot hear

 

I am on the outside looking inside

What do I see

Much confusion desillusion all around me

 

I talk to the wind my words are all carried away

I talk to the wind the wind does not hear

The wind cannot hear

 

You don’t possess me don’t impress me

Just upset my mind

Can’t destruct me or conduct me

Just use up my time

DOWN UNDER

 Men At Work

 

 

Tr(D)aveling in a fr(A)ied-out combie(Bm)      G    A

(D)On a hippie tra(A)il, head full of zom(Bm)bie  G  A

(D)I met a strange la(A)dy, she made me ner(Bm)vous  G  A

(D)She took me in(A) and gave me break(Bm)fast

(G)And(A) she said,

 

(Chorus)

 

«Do you come from a land down under?

Where women glow and men plunder?

Can’t you hear, can’t you hear the thunder?

You better run, you better take cover.»

 

Buying bread from a man in Brussels

He was six foot four and full of muscles

I said, «Do you speak-a my language?»

He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich

And he said,

 

«I come from a land down under

Where beer does flow and men chunder

Can’t you hear, can’t you hear the thunder

You better run, you better take cover.»

 

Lying in a den in Bombay

With a slack jaw, and not much to say

I said to the man, «Are you trying to tempt me

Because I come from the land of plenty?»

And he said

 

«Oh! Do you come from a land down under? (oh yeah yeah)

Where women glow and men plunder?

Can’t you hear, can’t you hear the thunder?

You better run, you better take cover.»

Alone between the sheets

It’s time to walk the streets

Smell the desperation

At least there’s pretty lights

And though there’s little variation

It nullifies the night

From overkill…

A hundred miles, a hundred m[Am]iles, a hundred m[Dm]iles, a hundred m[Dm7]iles,

You can h[G7]ear the whistle blow a hundred m[C]iles.

Away from home, away from home, away from home, away from home,

Lord I’m five hundred miles away from home.

 

Not a shirt on my back, not a penny to my name,

Lord I can’t go back home this a way.

This a way, this a way, this a way, this a way,

Lord I can’t go back home this a way.

Freight train, Freight train, comin’ back again,

One of these days turn that train around

And go back to my home town.

 

One more place I’d like to be,

One more place I’d lie to see,

To watch them old Blue Ridge Mountains climb,

When I ride old number nine.

 

When I die Lord, Bury me deep,

Down at the end of Chestnut street,

Where I can hear old number nine

As she comes down the line.

 

Freight train, Freight train, goin’ so fast,

Freight train, Freight train, goin’ so fast,

Please don’t tell what train I’m on

So they won’t know where I’m gone.

heaven from hell, blue skies from pain, can you tell a green field

C                    Am                       G

from a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil? Do ya think ya can tell?

C                       D                     Am

did they get you to trade, your hero’s for ghosts, hot ashes for trees

G                           D                 C

hot air for a cool breeze, cold comfort for change, did you exchange,

Am                          G

a walk on part in the war, for a lead role in a cage?

 

 

 

 

C                               D

How I wish, how I wish you were here,

Am                                  G                  D

Were just two lost soles simming in a fish bowl, year after year,

Running over the same old ground, but have we found the same old fears,

G

wish you were here

Since youve gone I been lost without a trace
I dream at night I can only see your face
I look around but its you I cant replace
I feel so cold and I long for your embrace
I keep crying baby, baby, please…

Oh, cant you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches
With every breath you take

Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
Ill be watching you

We can’t go on together, with Suspicious Minds;

Em                  Bm          C              D       D7

and we can’t build our dreams, on Suspicious Minds.

So, if an old friend I know, drops by to say hello,

would I still see suspicion in your eyes?

C                                  Am

We skipped the light fandango

F                                                           Dm

and turned cartwheels ‘cross the floor

G7                                         Em     G7

I was feeling kind of sea sick

C                                               Am         Em

but the crowd called out for more

F                                            Dm

the room was humming harder

G7                               Em  G7

As the ceiling flew away

C                                             Am     Em

When we called out for another drink

F                                  Dm

the waiter brought a tray

 

Chorus:

G7                             C

And so it was that later

F                                            Dm

As the miller told his tale

G7                                              Em

That her face at first just ghostly

G7           C      F        C

Turned a whiter shade of pale

 

She said there is no reason

and the truth is plain to see

but I wandered through my playing cards

would not let her be

one of sixteen vessel virgins

who were leaving for the coast

And although my eyes were open

They might just as well?ve been closed

 

Chorus

AMERICA

Let us be lovers, we’ll marry our fortunes together

I’ve gone to look for America

 

Cmaj7                        D

Laughing on the bus, playing games with the faces

Cmaj7                                        D

She said the man in the gaberdine suit was a spy

G         F#          Em        A        D      Fmaj7

I said be careful his bowtie is really a camera

 

C         B         Am              G         F

Toss me a cigarette I think there’s one in my raincoat

C              B          Am

We smoked the last one an hour ago

G                  A       Em                    A

So I looked at the scenery, and she read her magazine

G    D    G A  B  CB Am

An the moon rose over an open field

 

C         B       Am             G            F

Cathy I’m lost, I said, though I knew she was sleeping

C         B          Am

I’m empty and aching and I don’t know why

G

Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike

D   G       D        Cmaj7

They’ve all gone to look for America

They’ve all gone to look for America

D   G       D        Cmaj7

G                            C                            G                  Am    Gsus   C/F#   D7/F#

I hear the drizzle of the rain,       like a memory it falls

G               D/F#     G     C                      Am      Gsus   D        G

Soft and warm, continuing                      tapping on my roof and walls

 

G                            C                            G                 Am      Gsus          C/F#    D7/F#

And from the shelter of my mind,     Through the window of my eyes

G             D/F#                       G                            C                Am         D                              C      G

I gaze beyond the rain-drenched streets,    To England where my heart lies

 

(Hereճ where it goes to Dsus)

 

My mindճ distracted and diffused,     my thoughts are many miles away

 

They lie with you when youղe asleep,     and kiss you when you start your day

 

 

And a song I was writing is left undone       I donմ know why I spend my time

 

Writing songs I canմ believe     With words that tear and strain to rhyme

 

(Back to Dsus)

 

And so you see I have come to doubt      All that I once held as true

 

I stand alone without beliefs                   The only truth I know is you

 

 

And as I watch the drops of rain                            Weave their weary paths and die

 

I know that I am like the rain                  There but for the grace of you go I

Sounds of Silence

Paul Simon

 

H[Am]ello darkness my old fri[G]end,

I’ve come to talk with you ag[Am]ain.

Because a vi[C]sion softl[F]y creep[C]ing

Left it’s seed while I w[F]as sleep[C]ing,

And the vis[F]ion that was planted in my br[C]ain

Still rem[Am]ains

Wit[C]hin the s[G]ounds of si[Am]lence.

 

In restless dreams I walked alone,

Narrow streets of cobble stone.

‘Neath the halo of a street lamp,

I turned my collar to the cold and damp,

When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light

That split the night

And touched the sounds of silence.

 

And in the naked light I saw

Ten thousand people, maybe more.

People talking without speaking,

People hearing without listening,

People writing songs that voices never shared,

And no one dared

Disturb the sounds of silence.

 

«Fools!» said I, «you do not know,

Silence like a cancer grows.

Hear my words that I might teach you,

Take my arms that I might reach you.»

But my words like silent raindrops fell…

And echoed in the wells of silence.

 

And the people bowed and prayed

To the neon gods they made.

And the sign flashed out its warning,

In the words that it was forming,

And the sign said, «The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls

And tenement halls.»

And whispered in the sounds of silence.

 

 

The Boxer

 Paul Simon        

 

 

C                                                Am

I am just a poor boy, though my story’s seldom told

G

I have squandered my resistance

C

For a pocketful of mumbles such are promises

Am            G                  F

All lies and jest still a man hears what he wants to hear

C      G    C

And disregards the rest

Am

When I left my home and family I was no more than a boy

G

In the company of strangers

Dm7        C

In the quiet of a railway station running scared

Am           G                F

Laying low seeking out the poorer quarters where the ragged people go

G              F    Em   Dm    C

Looking for the places only they would know

Am

Lie-la-lie

G

Lie-la-lie la lie-la-lie

Am

Lie la lie

G                       F           G   C

Lie-la-lie la la la la lie la la la la lie

Am

Asking only workmans wages I come looking for a job

G

But I get no offers

Dm7              C

Just a come-on from the whores on seventh avenue

Am                 Dm7     G     F                                 C

I do declare there were times when I was so lonesome I took some comfort there

G               C

Ooo-la-la la la la la

 

Am

Lie-la-lie

G

Lie-la-lie la lie-la-lie

Am

Lie la lie

G                       F           G   C

Lie-la-lie la la la la lie la la la la lie

 

C

Then I’m laying out my winter clothes

G7  C              Am

And wishing I was gone

G             Dm7      G7               G  C

Going home where the New York City winters aren’t bleeding me

Am

Leading me

G

Going Home

C                                            Am

In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his trade

G

And he carries the reminders

G7               C                        Dm7     G7        C

Of ev’ry glove that laid him down or cut him ‘till he cried out

Am

In his anger and his shame

G              F                              C

«I am Leaving, I am Leaving.»  But the Fighter still remains

 

G C  G      F      C

 

Am

Lie-la-lie

G

Lie-la-lie la lie-la-lie

Am

Lie la lie

G                        F             Am

Lie-la-lie la la la la lie la la la la lie

American Tune

Paul Simon

 

 

C          F      C   G         E      Am      E         Am

Many’s the time I’ve been mistaken and many times confused

C          F  C    G    G   E    Am      E       Am

Yes  I’ve often felt forsaken and certainly misused

C         F  G       F       C             F     C         E

Aw, but I’m alright, I’m alright, I’m just weary to my bones

F         G                     C        D       G

Still you don’t expect to be bright and bon vivant

C    F C  G       E    Am  C   G          C

So far away from home, so far away from home

 

C                F    C     G              E

I don’t know a soul who’s not been battered

Am              E       Am

don’t have a friend that’s feels at ease

C                F     C      G               E     Am    E          Am

I don’t know a dream that’s not been shattered or driven to it’s knees

C            F  G       F       C             F     C         E

Aw, but it’s alright, it’s alright for we lived so well so long

F         G                 C        D       G

Still when I think of the road we’re travelin’ on

C    F C  G              E    Am                 C   G          C

I wonder what’s gone wrong, I can’t help but wonder what’s gone wrong

 

c

And I dreamed I was dying…

G        E        Am

I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly

G      C  Am     C          G

And looking back down on me smiled reassuringly

C

And I dreamed I was flying….

 

 

Am      C   G              E      Am

And high up above my eyes could clearly see

C         G          Am        C      G

The Statue of Liberty – sailing away to sea

C

And I dreamed I was flying….

 

 

C                    F         C          G

For we come on the ship they call Mayflower

Am         E          Am

We come on the ship that sailed the moon

C            F C  G               E       Am           E    Am

We come in the ages most uncertain hours and sing an American Tune

C              F  G    F       C                F     C        Am

Aw, but it’s alright, it’s alright you can’t be forever blessed

F         G                 C        D       G

Still tomorrow’s gonna be another working day

C         F     C  G        E           Am       C         G          C

And I’m trying to get some rest, that’s all I’m trying to get some rest
