NOBODY KNOWS YOU WHEN YOU'RE DOWN AND OUT [C]Once I lived the [E7]life of a [A7]million[A7]aire,
[Dm]Spent all my [A7]money, didn’t [Dm]have any [Dm]cares.
[F]Took all my [F#o]friends out for a [C] mighty good [A7]time,
[D7]Bought bootleg [D7]liquor , [G]champagne and [G7]wine.
[C]Then I [E7]began to [A7]fall so [A7]low,
[Dm]Lost all my good [A7]friends, had [Dm] nowhere to
[Dm]go. [F]I get my hands [F#o]on a [C] dollar [A7]again,
[D7]I’ll hang on to[D7] it till that [G]eagle [G7]grins.
[C]Because, [E7]nobody [A7]knows [A7]you
[Dm]When you're [A7]down and [Dm]out[Dm].
[F]In your [F#o]pocket, not [C] one [A7]penny,
[D7]And as for [D7]friends, you don't [G]have [G7]any.
[C]When you get [E7]back up on your [A7]feet [A7]again,
[Dm]Everybody [A7]wants to be your [Dm]long-lost [Dm]friend.
[F]I Said it's [F#o]strange, with[C] out any [A7]doubt,
[D7]Nobody [D7]knows you when you're [G]down and[G7] out.
[C]Ooooh, [E7]nobody [A7]knows [A7]you
[Dm]When you're [A7]down and [Dm]out[Dm].
[F]In your [F#o]pocket, not [C] one [A7]penny,
[D7]And as for [D7]friends, you don't [G]have [G7]any.
[C]When you get [E7]back up on your [A7]feet [A7]again,
[Dm]Everybody [A7]wants to be your [Dm]long-lost [Dm]friend.
[F]I Said it's [F#o]strange, with[C] out any [A7]doubt,
[D7]Nobody [D7]knows you
[D7]Nobody [D7]knows you
[D7]Nobody [D7]knows you when you're [G]down and[G7] out.

I Feel Pretty - West Side Story
I feel [D] pretty, oh so pretty
I feel pretty and witty and [Em] bright [A]
And I [Bm] pity any [Em] girl who isn't [A] me to[D]night
I feel [D] charming, Oh so charming
It's alarming how charming I [Em] feel [A]
And so [Bm] pretty that I [Em] hardly can be[A]lieve I'm [D] real
[G] See the pretty girl in that mirror there?
Who can that attractive girl [D] be?
[F#m] Such a pretty [C#7] face, such a pretty [F#m] dress,
Such a pretty [Dm] smile, such a pretty [A7] me!
I feel [D] stunning, and entrancing
Feel like running and dancing for [Em] joy [A]
For I'm [Bm] loved ... by a [Em] pretty [A] wonderful [D] boy
Runaround Sue
[G]Here's my story, it's sad but true
[Em]It's about a girl that I once knew
[C]She took my love, then ran around
[D]With every single guy in town
[G]Hey, hey, um-da-da-da-di-di
[Em] Hey, hey, um-da-da-da-di-di
[C] Hey, hey, um-da-da-da-di-di
[D]Hey, hey, oooooooooohhhhh
[G]I guess I should have known it from the very start
[Em]This girl would leave me with a broken heart
[C]Now listen people what I'm telling you
[D]"I keep away from Runaround Sue"
[G]Her amazing lips and the smile from her face
[Em]The touch of her hand and this girl's warm embrace
[C]So if you don't want to cry like I do
[D]Keep away from Runaround Sue.
[C]She like to travel around
[G]She'll love you, then she'll put you down
[C]Now, people let me put you wise
[D]She goes out with other guys
[G]And the moral of the story from the guy who knows
[Em]I've been in love and my love still grows
[C]Ask any fool that she ever knew
[D]they'll say: Keep away from Runaround Sue

UNDER THE BOARDWALK
Oh, when the[C] sun beats down
And burns the tar up on the [G7]roof
And your shoes get so hot
You wish your tired feet were [C]fireproof[C7]
Under the [F]boardwalk
Down by the [C]sea, yeah
On a blanket with my baby[G7]
Is where I'll [C]be
(Under the [Am]boardwalk) Out of the sun
(Under the [G7]boardwalk) We'll be having some fun
(Under the [Am]boardwalk) People walking above
(Under the [G7]boardwalk) We'll be falling in love
(Under the [Am]boardwalk, boardwalk)
In the [C]park you hear
The happy sound of the carou[G7]sel
You can almost taste the hot dogs
French fries they [C]sell[C7]
Under the [F]boardwalk
Down by the [C]sea, yeah
On a blanket with my baby[G7]
Is where I'll [C]be

Blue Christmas
I'll have a [F] blue Christmas with[C7]out you
I'll be so [Gm7] blue [C7] just thinking a-a-a[F]bout you
Deco[Cm7]rations of [D7] red on a [Gm]green Christmas [Fdim] tree
[G7] Won't be the same dear, if [C7] you're not [Gm7] here with [C7] me
And when those [F] blue snowflakes start [C7] fallin'
And when those [Gm7] blue [C7] memories start [F] callin'
You'll be [Cm7] doin' all [D7] right, with [Gm] your Christmas of [Fdim] white
But [C7] I'll have a [Gm7] blue, [C7] blue-blue-blue [F] Christmas
Instrumental: [F] [C7] [Gm7] [C7] [F]
Deco[Cm7]rations of [D7] red on a [Gm] green Christmas [Fdim] tree
[G7] Won't be the same dear, if [C7] you're not [Gm7] here with [C7] me
I'll have a [F] blue Christmas that's [C7] certain
And when that [Gm7] blue [C7] heartache starts [F] hurtin'
You'll be [Cm7]doin' all [D7] right, with your [Gm] Christmas of [Fdim] white,
But [C7] I'll have a [Gm7] blue, [C7] blue-blue-blue [F] Christmas ...
But [C7] I'll have a [Gm7] blue, [C7] blue-blue-blue [F] Christmas ... [F6/9]
THOSE WERE THE DAYS [Am]Once upon a time there was a tavern
Where we used to raise a glass or [Dm]two
Remember how we laughed away the [Am]hours
And [B7]dreamed of all the great things we would [E7]do
Chorus
Those were the [Am]days my friend
We thought they'd [Dm]never end
We'd sing and [G]dance for[G7]ever and a [C]day
We'd live the [Dm]life we choose
We'd fight and [Am]never lose
For we were [E7]young and sure to have our [Am]way.
La la la [Am] la la la la la [Dm] la la la
Those were the [E7]days, oh yes those were the [Am]days
[Am]Then the busy years went rushing by us
We lost our starry notions on the [Dm]way
If by chance I'd see you in the [Am]tavern
We'd [B7]smile at one another and we'd [E7]say
Chorus
[Am]Just tonight I stood before the tavern
Nothing seemed the way it used to [Dm]be
In the glass I saw a strange re[Am]flection
[B7]Was that lonely woman really [E7]me
Chorus
[Am]Through the door there came familiar laughter
I saw your face and heard you call my [Dm]name
Oh my friend we're older but no [Am]wiser
For [B7]in our hearts the dreams are still the [E7]same

Ninety-Two Percent (to the tune of Five Foot Two Eyes of Blue)
[C] Nine-two, [E7] percent it’s true
[A7] That’s Kiama’s solid view
A[D7]gainst the merger, [G7] and what’s [C] more
[C] Turned up their nose, to [E7] what’s proposed
Said [A7] no way we want one of those
The [D7] whole idea is [G7] very [C] poor
So [E7] if you run into, an MP or two
[A7] Please don’t be shy
[D7] Let them know, before they go
This [G7] merger thing will [D7] never [G7] fly
But [C] if instead, they [E7] go ahead
[A7] Mike’s career could well be dead
This [D7] Government needs to [G7] heed our [C] ca-aw-aw-all
This [D7] Government needs to [G7] heed our [C] ca-all …
When The State Comes Bargin In (When The Saints Go Marching In)
Oh, when the [C] State comes barging in
Oh, when the State comes barging [G7] in
No, we [C] don’t want to [C7] be in that [F] merger
When the [C] State comes [G7] barging [C] in
Oh, when we [C] all begin to sing
Oh, when we all begin to [G7] sing
No, we [C] don't want to [C7] be in that [F] merger
When we [C] all be[G7]gin to [C] sing
So, let the [C] State know how we feel
Oh, let the State know how we [G7] feel
No, we [C] don’t want to [C7] be in that [F] merger
So, let the [C] State know [G7] how we [C] feel
Oh, when the [C] State comes barging in
Oh, when the State comes barging [G7] in
No, we [C] don’t want to [C7] be in that [F] merger
