Some [Am] things in life are [D] bad they can [G] really make you [Em7] mad

[Am] Other things just [Cdim] make you swear and [Gmaj7] curse

When you're [Am] chewing on life's [D] gristle

Don't [G] grumble give a [E7] whistle

And [A] this'll help things [A7] turn out for the [D] best [D7] and

If [Am] life seems jolly [D] rotten

There's [G] something you've for[Em7]gotten

And [Am] that's to laugh and [Cdim] smile and dance and [G] sing

When you're [Am] feeling in the [D] dumps [G] don't be silly [E7] chumps

You must [Am] always face the [Cdim] curtain with a [G] bow

For[Am]get about your [D] sin give the [G] audience a [E7] grin

En[A]joy it it's your [A7] last chance any[D]how [D7] so

[G] Always [Em7] look on the [Am7*] bright [D] side of [G] death [Em] [Am] [D]

[G] Just be[Em7]fore you [Am7*] draw your [D] terminal [G] breath [Em] [Am] [D]

[Am] Life's a piece of [D] shit [G] when you look at [Em7] it

[Am] Life's a laugh and [Cdim] death's a joke it's [G] true

You'll [Am] see it's all a [D] show keep 'em [G] laughing as you [E7] go

Just re[A]member that the [A7] last laugh is on [D] you [D7] and

Intro: [G] [Em] [C] [D7]

I rem[G]ember when rock was young

Me and [Bm] Susie had so much fun

Holding [C] hands and skimmin' stones

Had an [D7] old gold Chevy and a place of my own

But the [G] biggest kick I ever got

Was doin' a [Bm] thing called the Crocodile Rock

While the [C] other kids were rockin' 'round the clock

We were [D7] hoppin' and boppin' to the Crocodile Rock well

Chorus: [Em] Crocodile Rockin' is something shockin'

When your [A7] feet just can't keep still

[D] I never had me a better time and I [G] guess I never will

[E7] Oh lawdy mamma those Friday nights

When [A7] Susie wore her dresses tight and

[D7] Crocodile Rockin' was out of [C] sight

[G] La…la la la la [Em] la…la la la la [C] la….la la la la [D7] la….

But the [G] years went by and rock just died

[Bm] Susie went and left me for some foreign guy

[C] Long nights cryin' by the record machine

[D] Dreamin' of my Chevy and my old blue jeans

But they'll [G] never kill the thrills we've got

Burnin' [Bm] up to the Crocodile Rock

Learning [C] fast as the weeks went past

We really [D7] thought the Crocodile Rock would last well

[G] I hear the train a comin' it's rolling round the bend

And I ain't seen the sunshine since [G7] I don't know when

I'm [C] stuck in Folsom prison and time keeps draggin' [G] on

But that [D7] train keeps a rollin' on down to San An[G]ton

[G] When I was just a baby my mama told me son

Always be a good boy don't [G7] ever play with guns

But I [C] shot a man in Reno just to watch him [G] die

When I [D7] hear that whistle blowing

I hang my head and [G] cry

[G] I bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car

They're probably drinkin' coffee and [G7] smoking big cigars

Well I [C] know I had it coming I know I can't be [G] free

But those [D7] people keep a movin'

And that's what tortures [G] me

[G] Well if they'd free me from this prison

If that railroad train was mine

I bet I'd move it all a little [G7] further down the line

[C] Far from Folsom prison that's where I want to [G] stay

And I'd [D7] let that lonesome whistle blow my blues a[G]way

Intro: [Em] [B7] [D] [A] [C] [G] [Am] [B7] x 2

[Em] On a dark desert highway [B7] cool wind in my hair

[D] Warm smell of colitas [A] rising up through the air

[C] Up ahead in the distance [G] I saw a shimmering light

[Am] My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim

[B7] I had to stop for the night

[Em] There she stood in the doorway [B7] I heard the mission bell

[D] And I was thinking to myself this could be [A] heaven or this could be hell

[C] Then she lit up a candle [G] and she showed me the way

[Am] There were voices down the corridor [B7] I thought I heard them say

Chorus: [C] Welcome to the Hotel Cali[G]fornia

Such a [Am] lovely place such a [Em] lovely face

(1) [C] Plenty of room at the Hotel Cali[G]fornia

Any [Am] time of year you can [B7] find it here

(2) They [C] livin' it up at the Hotel Cali[G]fornia

What a [Am] nice surprise bring your [B7] alibis

[Em] Her mind is Tiffany twisted [B7] she got the Mercedes bends

[D] She got a lot of pretty pretty boys [A] that she calls friends

[C] How they dance in the courtyard [G] sweet summer sweat

[Am] Some dance to remember [B7] some dance to forget

[Em] So I called up the captain [B7] please bring me my wine

He said [D] we haven't had that spirit here since [A] nineteen sixty-nine

[C] And still those voices are calling from [G] far away

[Am] Wake you up in the middle of the night [B7] just to hear them say

Chorus 2

[Em] Mirrors on the ceiling [B7] the pink champagne on ice

And she said [D] we are all just prisoners here [A] of our own device

[C] And in the master's chambers [G] they gathered for the feast

[Am] They stab it with their steely knives but they [B7] just can't kill the beast

[Em] Last thing I remember I was [B7] running for the door

[D] I had to find the passage back to the [A] place I was before

[C] Relax said the nightman we are [G] programmed to receive

[Am] You can check out anytime you like [B7] but you can never leave

Repeat Chorus 2 and finish on [Em]

[Em] Mother needs something today to calm her [F] down [D7]

They just don't appreciate that you get [F] tired [D7]

They're so [G] hard to satisfy you can [C] tranquilize your [Am] mind

So go [Am] running for the shelter of a [D7] mother's little helper

And four [Em] help you through the night help to minimize your plight

(Riff x2)

Doctor [C] please some more of [D7] these

Outside the [G] door she took four [C] more

What a [D7] drag it is getting [Em] old (riff x 1)

[Em] Life's just much too hard today I hear ev'ry mother say

The pursuit of happiness just seems a [F] bore [D7]

And if [G] you take more of those you will [C] get an over[Am]dose

No more [Am] running for the shelter of a [D7] mother's little helper

They just [Em] helped you on your way through your busy dying day

(Riff x2) [D7] [G] Hey

Intro: [F] [C] [Bb] [C]

[F] Raindrops keep falling on my [Fmaj7] head

And [F7] just like the guy whose feet are [Bb] too big for his [Am] bed

[D7] Nothing seems to [Am] fit [D7]

Those [Gm7] raindrops are fallin' on my head they keep fallin'

[C7] So I just [F] did me some talkin' to the [Fmaj7] sun

And [F7] I said I didn't like the [Bb] way he got things [Am] done

[D7] Sleepin' on the [Am] job

[D7] Those [Gm7] raindrops are fallin' on my head they keep fallin'

[C7] But there's one [F] thing I [Fmaj7] know

The [Bb] blues they send to [C] meet me won't de[Am]feat me

It won't be long till [D7] happiness steps [Gm7] up to greet me

[Gm7] [C] [Gm7] [C]

[F] Raindrops keep fallin' on my [Fmaj7] head

But [F7] that doesn't mean my eyes will [Bb] soon be turnin' [Am] red

[D7] Cryin's not for [Am] me

[D7] Cause [Gm7] I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'

[C7] Because I'm [F] free [Fmaj7] [Gm7] nothing’s [C7] worryin' [F] me

Whistle solo: [F] [Fmaj7] [Bb] [C] [Am]

It won't be long till [D7] happiness steps [Gm7] up to greet me

[Gm7] [C] [Gm7] [C]

[F] Raindrops keep fallin' on my [Fmaj7] head

But [F7] that doesn't mean my eyes will [Bb] soon be turnin' [Am] red

[D7] Cryin's not for [Am] me

[D7] Cause [Gm7] I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'

Rock and Roll Music [D]The Beatles

The Beatles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBiLhQpaUaM   (But in A)

Just let me hear some of that

Chorus: Rock and roll music, any old way you choose it 

It's got a   back beat, you can't lose it,   any old time you use it It's   gotta be rock and roll music, if you wanna dance with   me 

 If you wanna dance with   me

I have no kick against   modern jazz,  Unless they try to play it   too darn fast 

And change the beauty of a   melody, until it sounds just like a   symphony  That's why I go for that

Chorus

I took my love on over   'cross the tracks,  So she could hear my man a   wail a sax 

I must admit they have a   rockin' band And they were blowin' like a   hurrican' 

 That's why I go for that

Chorus

Way down south they gave a   jubilee,  and Georgia folks, they had a   jamboree 

They're drinkin' home brew from a   wooden cup, the folks dancin' got   all shook up 

 And started playin' that

Chorus

Don't get to hear 'em play a   tango,   I'm in no mood to take a   mambo It's way too early for the   congo, so keep on rockin' that   piano 

 So I can hear some of that

Chorus

 If you wanna dance with   me     If you wanna dance with   me

SAN FRANCISCO BAY BLUES 4/4 1...2...123 (without intro)

Intro:

( ) I got the blues from my baby down by the San Francisco Bay, (or G F# G F# G F# G)

( ) Ocean liner took her so far a-way. (or G F# G F# G F# G)

I didn't mean to treat her so bad, she was the best gal I ever had,

She said goodbye, gonna make me cry, guess I'm gonna lay down my head and die.

I ain't got a nickel and I ain't got a lousy dime.

If she don't come back, I think I"m gonna lose my mind.

If she ever comes back to stay, it's going to be another brand new day,

Walkin' with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay.

p.2 San Francisco Bay Blues

Sittin' down looking through my back door, wonderin' which way to go,

The woman I'm so crazy about, she don't love me any more.

Think I'll take a freight train, 'cause I'm feelin' blue,

Ride all the way to the end of the line, thinkin' only of you.

Meanwhile, in another city, just about to go in-sane,

Well, I thought I heard my baby, Lord, the way she used to call my name.

If she ever comes back to stay, it's going to be another brand new day,

Walkin' with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay,

If she ever comes back to stay, it's going to be another brand new day,

Walkin' with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay, San Fran-cisco Bay

[G] Sittin' in the mornin' [B7] sun

I'll be [C*] sittin' when the e[B] [Bb]venin' [A] come

[G] Watching the ships roll [B7] in

And then I [C*] watch 'em roll aw[B]ay [Bb] a[A]gain

I'm [G] sittin' on the dock of the [E7] bay

Watching the [G] tide roll a[E7]way

I'm just [G] sittin' on the dock of the [A7] bay wastin' [G] time [E7]

I [G] left my home in [B7] Georgia

[C*] Headed for the 'F[B]ris[Bb]co [A] bay

'Cause [G] I've had nothing to [B7] live for

And look like [C*] nothin's gonna c[B]ome [Bb] my [A] way

So I'm just gonna [G] sit on the dock of the [E7] bay

Watching the [G] tide roll a[E7]way

I'm [G] sittin' on the dock of the [A7] bay wastin' [G] time [E7]

[G] Look [D] like [C] nothing's gonna change

[G] Every[D]thing [C] still remains the same

[G] I can't [D] do what [C] ten people tell [G] me to do

[F] So I guess I'll re[D]main the same

[G] Sittin' here resting my [B7] bones

And this [C*] loneliness won't leave [B] me [Bb] a[A]lone

It's [G] two thousand miles I [B7] roamed

Just to [C*] make this do[B]ck [Bb] my [A] home

Now I'm just gonna [G] sit at the dock of the [E7] bay

Watching the [G] tide roll a[E7]way

[G] Sittin' on the dock of the [A7] bay wastin' [G] time [E7]

[G] We come on the sloop John B

My grandfather and me

Around Nassau town we did [D7] roam

Drinking all [G] night [G7] got into a [C] fight [Am]

Well I [G] feel so broke up [D7] I want to go [G] home

Chorus:

[G] So hoist up the John B’s sail

See how the mainsail sets

Call for the captain ashore let me go [D7] home

Let me go [G] home [G7]

I wanna go [C] home yeah [Am] yeah

Well I [G] feel so broke up [D7] I wanna go [G] home

[G] The first mate he got drunk

And broke in the captain’s trunk

The constable had to come and take him a[D7]way

Sheriff John [G] Stone [G7]

Why don’t you leave me a[C]lone yeah [Am] yeah

Well I [G] feel so broke up [D7] I wanna go [G] home

Chorus

[G] The poor cook he caught the fits

And threw away all my grits

And then he took and he ate up all of my [D7] corn

Let me go [G] home [G7]

Why don’t they let me go [C] home [Am]

This [G] is the worst trip [D7] I’ve ever been [G] on
