Don't Fence Me In
Oh give me [C] land lots of land
Under starry skies above
Don't [F] fence me [G7] in
Let me ride through the wide
Open country that I love
Don't [F] fence me [C] in
Let me [C] be by myself in the [C7] evening breeze
[F] Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees
Send me [C] off forever but I [Am] ask you [F] please
[C] Don't [G7] fence me [C] in
Just turn me [F] loose
Let me straddle my old saddle
Underneath the western [C] skies [C7]
On my ca[F]yuse
Let me wander over yonder
Till I see the mountains [C] rise [G7]
I want to [C] ride to the ridge when the west commences
[F] Gaze at the moon 'til I lose my senses
[C] Can't look at [G7] hobbles and I [Am] can't stand [F] fences
[C] Don't [G7] fence me [C] in
Don't [G7] fence me [C] in
Don't [G7] fence me [C] [G7] [C]

Send Me The Pillow That You Dream On
See Dean Martin sing this at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APPpFrIGFQ8
[C] Send me the [F] pillow that you [C] dream on
[G7] Don't you know that I still care for [C] you
[C] Send me the [F] pillow that you [C] dream on*
[G7] Don't you know that I still care for [C] you
Send me the [F] pillow that you [C] dream on
So darling I can [G7] dream on it [C] too
[C7] I've [F] waited so long for you to [C] write me
But [G7] just a memory is all that's left of [C] you
Send me the [F] pillow that you [C] dream on
So darling I can [G7] dream on it [C] too
So darling I can [G7] dream on it [C] too [G7] [C]
* The pillow must be thoroughly washed and sanitised before use by another person

So Far Away
See Dire Straits play this at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rs9rCP_wpY
[G7] You're so [F] far away from [C] me
[G7] You're so [F] far away from [C] me
[C] Here I am again in this [G7] mean old town
And you're so far a[C]way from me
And [C] where are you when the [G7] sun goes
down
You're so far a[C]way from me
[F] So far a[Am]way from me
[G7] So far I [C] just can't see

[G7] You're so [F] far away from [C] me
[G7] You're so [F] far away from [C] me
[G7] You're so [F] far away from [C] me
[C] I'm tired of being in love and being [G7] all
alone
When you're so far a[C]way from me
I'm [C] tired of making out on the [G7] telephone
And you're so far a[C]way from me
[F] So far a[Am]way from me
[G7] So far I [C] just can't see
[F] So far a[Am]way from me
[G7] You're so [F] far away from [C] me
[G7] You're so [F] far away from [C] me
[G7] You're so [F] far away from [C] me
[C] I get so tired when I [G7] have to explain
When you're so far a[C]way from me
See [C] you been in the sun and [G7] I've been in
the rain
And you're so far a[C]way from me
[F] So far a[Am]way from me
[G7] So far I [C] just can't see
[F] So far a[Am]way from me
[G7] You're so [F] far away from [C] me
[G7] You're so [F] far away from [C] me
[G7] You're so [F] far away from [C] me

[C] Every night I sit here by my [Am] window

laughing (laughing)
And [C] thinking ‘bout the [G7] things we used to
[C] do

I [F] loved you (loved you)

park
[C] Things, like a kiss in the dark
[G7] Things, like a sailboat ride
[C] (Stop) What about the night we cried?
[F] Things, like a lovers vow,
[C] Things that we don't do now
[G7] Thinking ‘bout the things we used to [C] do
[C] I still can hear the ukebox softly [Am] playing
(playing)
And the [C] face I see each day belongs to [G7]
you (belong to you)
Though there's [C] not a single [C7] sound and
there’s [F] nobody else around
Well it's [C] just me thinking ‘bout the [G7] things
we used to [C] do
[NC] Thinking of [G7] things, like a walk in the
park

[G7] Things, like a sailboat ride

[G7] Thinking ‘bout the things we used to [C] do
And the [G7] heartaches are the friends I'm
talking [C] to
You got me [G7] thinking ‘bout the things we
used to [C] do,
[G7] staring at the lonely ave-[C]nue [C] [C]

Sunday Morning Coming Down
Hear Johnny Cash sing this at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ED5s1-Fe9FA
Well, I [C] woke up Sunday morning
With no [F] way to hold my [G7] head that didn't
[C] hurt
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't [Am] bad
So I [Am] had one more for [G7] dessert
Then I [C] fumbled in my closet through my [F]
clothes
And found my cleanest dirty [C] shirt
Then I [F] washed my face and [G7] combed my
hair
And [F] stumbled down the [G7] stairs to meet the
[C] day
I'd [C] smoked my mind the night before
With [F] cigarettes and [G7] songs I'd been [C]
picking
But I lit my first and watched a small kid
[Am] Playing with a can that he was [G7] kicking
Then I [C] walked across the street
And caught the [F] Sunday smell of someone
frying chicken [C]
And Lord, it [F] took me back to [G7] something
that I'd [F] lost somewhere, somehow [G7] along
the [C] way
On a [C] Sunday morning [F] sidewalk
I'm wishing, Lord, that I was [C] stoned
'Cause there's something in a [G7] Sunday
That makes a body feel a[C]lone
And there's nothing short a' [F] dying
That's half as lonesome as the [C] sound
Of the sleeping city [G7] sidewalk
And Sunday morning coming [C] down
In the [C] park I saw a daddy
With a [F] laughing little [G7] girl that he was [C]
swinging
And I stopped beside a Sunday school
And [Am] listened to the songs they were [G7]
singing
Then I [C] headed down the street
And somewhere [F] far away a lonely bell was [C]
ringing
And it [F] echoed through the [G7] canyons
Like the [F] disappearing [G7] dreams of [C]
yesterday
On a [C] Sunday morning [F] sidewalk
I'm wishing, Lord, that I was [C] stoned
'Cause there's something in a [G7] Sunday
That makes a body feel a[C]lone
And there's nothing short a' [F] dying
That's half as lonesome as the [C] sound
Of the sleeping city [G7] sidewalk
And Sunday morning coming [C] down

Come A Little Bit Closer
[NC] In a [C] little café, just the [F] other side of the [C] border*
She was sitting there giving me [F] looks that made my mouth [C] water [C7]
Well, I [F] started walking her way, she belonged to Badman José
And I [G7] knew, yes I knew, I should leave, but I heard her [C] say--[F]ay--[G7]ay
[NC] Come a little bit [C] closer, you're [F] my kind of [G7] man,
So big and so [G7] strong
Come a little bit [C] closer, I'm all a[G7]lone, and the night is so [C] long [F] [G7] [C] [F] [G7]
So, we [C] started to dance, in my [F] arms she felt so in[C]viting
And, I just [C] couldn't resist, just [F] one little kiss, so ex[C]iting [C7]
Then, I [F] heard the guitar player say, "Vamoose, José's on his way!"
And I [G7] knew, yes I knew, I should [G7] run, but I heard her [C] say--[F]ay--[G7]ay
[NC] Come a little bit [C] closer, you're [F] my kind of [G7] man,
So big and so [G7] strong
Come a little bit [C] closer, I'm all a[G7]lone, and the night is so [C] long [F] [G7] [C] [F] [G7]
Then, the [C] music stopped, when I [F] looked, the café was [C] empty
Then, I heard José say, "Man, you [F] know you're in trouble [C] plenty" [C7]
So, I [F] dropped my drink from my hand, and through the window I ran,
And as I [G7] rode away, I could hear her say to [C] José--[F]ay--[G7]ay
[NC] Come a little bit [C] closer, you're [F] my kind of [G7] man,
So big and so [G7] strong
Come a little bit [C] closer, I'm all a[G7]lone, and the night is so [C] long [F] [G7] [F]
[C] La [F] la [G7] la-laaa, [C] La [F] la [G7] la-laaa,
[C] La [F] la [G7] la-laaa [C] [C] [C]
* This pre-supposes that both the border was open and the café was allowed to trade, both of which seem unlikely

[C] I keep a [G7] close watch on this heart of [C] mine
[C] I keep my [G7] eyes wide open all the [C] time
[C] I keep the [F] ends out for the tie that [C] binds
[C] Because you’re [G7] mine, I walk the [C] line
[C] I find it [G7] very, very easy to be [C] true
[C] I find my-[G7]self alone when each day is [C] through
[C] Yes, I'll [F] admit that I'm a fool for [C] you
[C] Because you're [G7] mine, I walk the [C] line
[C] As sure as [G7] night is dark and day is [C] light
[C] I keep you [G7] on my mind both day and [C] night
[C] And happi-[F]ness I've known proves that it's [C] right
[C] Because you're [G7] mine, I walk the [C] line
[C] You've got a [G7] way to keep me on your [C] side
[C] You give me [G7] cause for love that I can't [C] hide
[C] For you I [F] know I'd even try to turn the [C] tide
[C] Because you're [G7] mine, I walk the [C] line
[C] Because you're [G7] mine, I walk the [C] line

I’m On Fire
[C] [Am] [C] [Am]
[C] Hey little girl, is your daddy home?
Did he go away and leave you all alone? Mmm[F]hmm
I got a bad de[Am]sire
[F] Oh oh [G7] oh, I'm on [C] fire
[C] Tell me now, baby, is he good to you?
And can he do to you the things that I do? Mmm[F]hmm
I can take you [Am] higher
[F] Oh oh [G7] oh, I'm on [C] fire
Sometimes it's like [F] someone took a knife, baby
Edgy and dull and cut a [C] six inch valley
Through the middle of my [Am] skull
[C] At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet
And a freight train running through the middle of my head, only [F] you
Can cool my de[Am]sire
[F] Oh oh [G7] oh, I'm on [C] fire
[F] Oh oh [G7] oh, I'm on [C] fire

Folsom Prison Blues
(simplified version with no key change)
Hear Johnny Cash play it (in F#) here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZPToXstS8M
[C] I hear the train a comin', it's rolling round the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine since [C7] I don't know when
I'm [F] stuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin' [C] on
But that [G7] train keeps a rollin' on down to San An-[C]ton
When [C] I was just a baby my mama told me, “Son,
Always be a good boy, don't [C7] ever play with guns.”
But I [F] shot a man in Reno just to watch him [C] die
When I [G7] hear that whistle blowing, I hang my head and [C] cry
I [C] bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car
They're probably drinkin' coffee and [C7] smoking big cigars
Well I [F] know I had it coming, I know I can't be [C] free
But those [G7] people keep a movin’, and that's what tortures [C] me
Well [C] if they'd free me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move on over a little [C7] further down the line
[F] Far from Folsom prison, that's where I want to [C] stay
And I'd [G7] let that lonesome whistle blow my blues a-[C]way
[C] I hear the train a comin', it's rolling round the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine since [C7] I don't know when
I'm [F] stuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin' [C] on
But that [G7] train keeps a rollin' on down to San An-[C]ton
Slowing:
But that [G7] train keeps a rollin' on down to San An-[C]ton

Save the Last Dance For Me
You can [C] dance - every dance with the guy
Who gave you the eye, let him [G7] hold you tight.
You can [G7] smile - every smile for the man
Who held your hand 'neath the [C] pale moonlight
But [G7] don't [C7] for[F]get who's taking you home
and in whose arms you're [C] gonna be
So [G7] darlin', save the last dance for [C] me
Oh I [C] know ('Oh I know') that the music's fine
like sparkling wine, go and [G7] have your fun ('Yes I know, Oh I know')
Laugh and [G7] sing, but while we're apart, don't give your heart to [C] anyone
'Cause [G7] don't [C7] for-[F]get who's taking you home
and in whose arms you're [C] gonna be
So [G7] darlin', save the last dance for [C] me
Baby, don't you know I [G7] love you so? Can't you feel it when we [C] touch?*
I will never, never [G7] let you go I love you, oh, so [C] much
You can [C] dance ('You can dance'), go and carry on
Till the night is gone an it's [G7] time to go ('You can dance',)
If he [G7] asks - if you’re all alone,
Can he take you home, you must [C] tell him 'no'
'Cause [G7] don't [C7] for[F]get who's taking you home
and in whose arms you're[C] gonna be
So [G7] darlin', save the last dance for [C] me
But [G7] don't [C7] for-[F]get who's taking you home
and in whose arms you're [C] gonna be
So [G7] darlin., save the last dance for [C] me
[G7] Darlin', save the last dance for [C] me (x2)

The Happy Wanderer*
I [C] love to go a-wandering along the mountain [G7] track
And [G7] as I go I [C] love to sing, my [F] knapsack [G7] on my [C] back
Valder-[G7]i, Valder-[C]a, Valder-[G7]i, Valder-[C]ra-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Valder-[G7]i, Valder-[C]a, my [F] knapsack [G7] on my [C] back.
I [C] love to wander by the stream, that dances in the [G7] sun
So [G7] joyously it [C] calls to me, “Come! [F] Join my [G7] happy [C] song”
Valder-[G7]i, Valder-[C]a, Valder-[G7]i, Valder-[C]ra-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Valder-[G7]i, Valder-[C]a, my [F] knapsack [G7] on my [C] back.
[C] I wave my hat to all I meet, and they wave back to [G7] me
And [G7] blackbirds call so [C] loud and sweet, from [F] every [G7] greenwood [C] tree.
Valder-[G7]i, Valder-[C]a, Valder-[G7]i, Valder-[C]ra-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Valder-[G7]i, Valder-[C]a, my [F] knapsack [G7] on my [C] back.
I [C] love to wander by the stream that dances in the [G7] sun
So [G7] joyously it [C] calls to me "come [F] join my [G7] happy [C] song"
Valder-[G7]i, Valder-[C]a, Valder-[G7]i, Valder-[C]ra-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Valder-[G7]i, Valder-[C]a, my [F] knapsack [G7] on my [C] back.
High [C] overhead the skylarks wing, they never rest at [G7] home
But [G7] just like me they [C] love to sing as [F] o’er the [G7] world we [C] roam.
Valder-[G7]i, Valder-[C]a, Valder-[G7]i, Valder-[C]ra-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Valder-[G7]i, Valder-[C]a, my [F] knapsack [G7] on my [C] back.
Oh [C] may I go a-wandering until the day I [G7] die
Oh [G7] may I always [C] laugh and sing be-[F]neath God’s [G7] clear blue [C] sky.
Valder-[G7]i, Valder-[C]a, Valder-[G7]i, Valder-[C]ra-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Valder-[G7]i, Valder-[C]a, my [F] knapsack [G7] on my [C] back.

Loch Lomond
By [C] yon bonnie [C7] banks and by [F] yon bonnie [G7] braes,
Where the [C] sun shines [C7] bright on Loch [F] Lo[G7]mond,
Where [F] me and my [C] true love were [F] ever wunt to gae,

(Hey It’s Good To Be) Back Home Again
Intro: [C] Vamp till ready
[C] There’s a storm across the [C7] valley, [F] clouds are rollin’ in
The [G7] afternoon is heavy on your [C] shoulders [G7]
There’s a [C] truck out on the [C7] four lane a [F] mile or more away
The [G7] whinin’ of his wheels just makes it [C] colder [G7]
[C] He’s an hour away from [C7] ridin’ on your [F] prayers up in the sky
And [G7] ten days on the road are barely [C] gone [G7]
There’s a [C] fire softly [C7] burnin’, [F] suppers on the stove
But it’s the [G7] light in your eyes that makes him [C] warm [C7]
[F] Hey it’s good to [G7] be back home a-[C]gain [C7]
[F] Sometimes [G7] this old farm [C] feels like a long-lost [F] friend
Yes ’n’ [G7] hey, it’s good to be back home a[C]gain
[C] There’s all the news to [C7] tell him, [F] how’d you spend your time
[G7] What’s the latest thing the neighbors [C] say [G7]
And your [C] mother called last [C7] Friday, [F] sunshine made her cry
You [G7] felt the baby move just yester[C] day [C7]
[F] Hey it’s good to [G7] be back home a-[C]gain [C7]
[F] Sometimes [G7] this old farm [C] feels like a long-lost [F] friend
Yes ’n’ [G7] hey, it’s good to be back home a[C]gain
[F] Long time that [G7] I can lay this [C] tired old body [F] down
Feel your fingers [G7] feather soft [C] upon me [C7]
The [F] kisses that I [G7] live for, the [C] love that lights my [F] way
The happiness that [F] livin’ with you [G7] brings me
It’s the [C] sweetest thing I [C7] know of, just [F] spending time with you
It’s the [G7] little things that make a house a [C] home [G7]
Like a [C] fire softly [C7] burnin’ [F] supper on the stove
The [G7] light in your eyes that keeps me [C] warm [C7]
[F] Hey it’s good to [G7] be back home a-[C]gain [C7]
[F] Sometimes [G7] this old farm [C] feels like a long-lost [F] friend
Yes ’n’ [G7] hey, it’s good to be back home a[C]gain
