5 Days In May - Blue Rodeo Key: Em
Intro:Em D Am C
EmThey met in a hurricaneD
Standing in the shelter out of the rain Am CShe tucked a note into his handEmLater on they took his carDDrove on down where the beaches are Am CHe wrote her name in the sandG F C D Never even let go of her hand
Somehow they stayed that wayFor those 5 days in May Made all the stars around them shineFunny how you can look in vainLiving on nerves and such sweet painThe loneliness that cuts so fineTo find the face you've seen a thousand times
CSometimes the world beginsCTo set you up on your feet againBm DIt wipes the tears from your eyesCHow will you ever knowCThe way that circumstances goBm D Always going to hit you by surprise
AmI know my past
G/BYou were there
C Em7/CIn everything I've done
EmYou are the one
Looking back it's hard to tell Why they stood while others fellSpend your life working it out All I know is one cloudy dayThey both just ran awayRain on the windshield heading SouthShe loved the lines around his mouth

Always look on the br ight side of life – Monty Python
Verses
Am D7 G Em
Am D7 G Em
Am D7 G Em
A7 A7 D D
Chorus
G Em Am D7
G Em Am D7
G Em Am D7
G Em Am D7
Some things in l ife are badThey can really make you madOther things just make you swear and curseWhen you're chewing on a large grist le
Don't grumble give a whistle And whistles help things turn out for the best
And always look on the br ight side of life Always look on the light side of life
If life seems jolly rottenThere's something you've forgotten
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and singWhen you're feeling in the dumpsDon't be silly chumpsJust purse you're lips and whistle that's the thing
And always look...
For life is quite absurd
And death's the final wordYou must always face the curtain with a bowForget about your sinGive the audience a grinEnjoy it's you're last chance anyhow
So always look on the bright side of deathJust before you draw your terminal breath
Life's a piece of shitWhen you look at itLife's laugh and death's a joke it's trueYou see it's all in a showKeep them laughing as you goJust remember that the last laugh is on you
And always look on the bright side of life ... (repeat and fade)

Blue Wing – Tom Russell
C
He had a Blue Wing tattooed on his shoulder. Well it might have been a
Dm
blue bird I don't know.
G
But he'd get stone drunk and talk about Alaska. Salmon boats and forty-
C
five below
CHe said he got that Blue Wing up in Walla Walla. Where his cellmate there
Dm
was a little Willy John
Dm G
Willy he was once a great blues singer. And Wing and Willy wrote him up a
C
song:
CHORUS
C F C
He said its dark in here…can't see the sky. But I look at this Blue Wing
Gand I close my eyes
C F C
Then I fly away, beyond these walls… Up above the clouds, where the rain
G
don’t fall
Am G Am G
On a poor man’s dreams… (yaa, On a poor man’s dreams, yaa)
C
Well they paroled Blue Wing in August, 1963
C Dm
And he moved on pickin’ apples to the town of Wenatchee.
Dm
Winter finally caught him in a run down trailer park,G C
On the south side of Seattle where the days grow gray and dark
C
And he drank and he dreamt a vision of when the salmon still swam free
C Dm
And his father’s father’s crossed that wide old Bering Sea.
Dm
And the land belonged to everyone, and there were old songs left to sing.
Dm G C
Now it’s narrowed down to a cheap hotel and a tattooed prison wing.
Chorus
C Well he drank his way to L.A. and that’s where he died. But no one knew his Christian nam
C Dm
And there was no one there to cry. But I dreamt there was a service.
Dm
A preacher and an old pine box.
Dm G C
And halfway through the sermon you know Blue Wing began to talk
Chorus

Cadillac Ranch – Bruce Springsteen
GWell there she sits buddy just a-gleaming in the sunC CThere to greet a working man when his day is done
GI’m gonna pack my pa and I’m gonna pack my aunt
G C DI’m gonna take them down to the Cadillac Ranch
Eldorado fins, whitewalls and skirts
Rides just like a little bit of heaven here on earthWell buddy when I die throw my body in the backAnd drive me to the junkyard in my cadillac
Cadillac, CadillacLong and dark shiny and blackOpen up your engines let `em roar
Tearing up the highway like a big old dinosaur
James Dean in that Mercury `49Junior Johnson runnin’ through the woods of CarolineEven Burt Reynolds in that black trans amAll gonna meet down at the Cadillac Ranch
Cadillac, cadillac...
Hey little girlie in the blue jeans so tightDrivin’ all alone through the Wisconsin nightYou’re my last love you’re my last chanceDon’t let `em take me to the Cadillac Ranch
Cadillac, cadillac...

Verse 1Well I’m ridin’ along
singing the same old cowboy songThat’s been sunga hundred times before
Ain’t got nothin’ but my nameand I’m the only man I know to blameBut I’m livin’, I’m happyand I’m free
ChorusJust listen to the wind blowLet it blow, let it blowSand over my trail
I’ve got my saddle on the ground
And that old moon, he can still be foundHidin’ in the desert sky
Verse 2I like the things in lifelike a prairie breeze
A good stout horse between my knees
just bein’ alone, just bein’ me
And when I die let me diewith a dream in my mind
A smile on my face and no troubles behindand no cross on my grave to show my restin’ place

Factory – Bruce Springsteen

GMan rises from bed and puts on his clothes,
C F CMan takes his lunch, walks out in the morning light,
G F CIt's the working, the working, just the working life.

Folsom Prison Blues
Johnny Cash
G
I hear the train acoming it's rolling round the bend
G7and I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when
C G
I'm stuck at Folsom Prison and time keeps draggin' on
D7 G
But that train keeps rollin' on down to San Antone
G
When I was just a baby my Mama told me 'Son
G7
always be a good boy; don't ever play with guns.
C G
But I shot the man in Reno, just to watch him die
D7 G
when I hear that whistle blowin' I hang my head and cry
I’ll bet there’s rich folk eatin’ in a fancy dinin’ car
They’re probably drinkin’ coffee and smokin’ big cigars
I know I had it comin’, I know I can’t be free
But those people keep a movin’ and that’s what tortures
me.
Well if they freed me from this prison. . .
If that railroad train was mine
I bet I’d move it on a little farter down the line
Far from Folsom Prison that where I want to stay
And I’d let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away

Girl from the north country – Bob Dylan
G Bm C G (4X)
Well, if you're travelin' 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.
Well, if you go when the snowflakes storm,
When the rivers freeze and summer ends,Please see if she's wearing 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 prayedIn the darkness of my night,In the brightness of my day.
So if you're travelin' 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.

GUANTANAMERA (Lyrics: Jose Marti)
Intro: D Em A A (x2)
Yo soy un hombre sincero, de donde crece la palma
Yo soy un hombre sincero, de donde crece la palma
Y antes de morirme quiero echar mis versos del alma
CHORUS: Guantanamera, guajira guantanamera
Guantanamera, guajira guantanamera
Mi verso es de un verde claro y de un carmin encendido (2x)
Mi verso es un ciervo herido que busca en el monte amparo
Con los pobres de la tierra quiero yo mi suerte echar (2x)
El arroyo de la sierra me complace mas que el mar

Em D6/9On the first part of the journeyI was lookin at all the lifeThere were plants and birds and rocks and thingsThere were sand and hills and rings
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzzand the sky with no cloudsthe heat was hot and the ground was dry
but the air was full of sound
Chorus
Em9 Dmaj9
I've been through the desert on a horse with no nameit felt good to be out of the rainin the desert you can remember your name'cause there ain't no one for to give you no painla la la la lalala la la la la la
After two days in the desert sun my skin began to turn red After three days in the desert funI was looking at a river bed
And the story it told of a river that flowed made me sad to think it was dead
chorus
After nine days I let the horse run free'cause the desert had turned to seathere were plants and birds and rocks and thingsthere were sand and hills and ringsThe ocean is a desert with it's life undergroundand the perfect disguise aboveUnder the cities lies a heart made of ground
but the humans will give no love

G G CM7 CM7
F F B7 B7
E E E7 E7
Verse 1 At f irst I was afraid, I was petr ifiedI kept thinking I could never live without you by my sideBut then I spent so many nights jus t thinking how you'd done me wrong
I grew strong, I learned how to get along
And so you're back, from outer spaceI just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your faceI should have changed that stupid lock, I would have made you leave your keyIf I'd have known for just one second you'd be back to bother me
Chorus
Oh, now go, walk out the doorJust turn around, now, you're not welcome anymoreWeren't you the one who tr ied to break me with desireDid you think I'd crumble, did you think I'd lay down and die
Oh not I, I will survive, yeah As long as I know how to love I know I'l l be aliveI've got all my li fe to live, I've got all my love to giveI will survive, I will survive, yeah yeah!
Verse 2 It took all the strength I had just not to fall apartI'm trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heartand I spent oh so many nights just feeling sorry for myselfI used to cry, but now I hold my head up high
And you see me with somebody newI'm not that stupid litt le person still in love with you
And so you thought you'd just drop by and you expect me to be freebut now I'm saving all my loving for someone who's loving me
Repeat Chorus

If I Was The Woman And You Were The Man John Prine
If I was the woman and you were the manWould you send me yellow roses?Would you dare to kiss my hand?
In the morning would you caress meas the wind caresses the sand,
If I was the woman and you were the man?
If I was the heart and you were the headWould you think me very foolish
if one day I decided to shedthese walls that surround me
just to see where these feelings led,
if I was the heart and you were the head?
If I was the woman and you were the manWould you laugh if I came to you
with my heart in my handand said, I offer you this freely
and will give you all that I canbecause you are the womanand I am the man?

Losing My Religion by R.E.M.
(G) F add2 G Am add4 G F add2 G Am G
Am Em
Oh life is bigger, it's bigger than you
Am Em
And you are not me, the lengths that I will go to
Am Em
The distance in your eyes Dm G
Oh no, I've said too much, I've said enough
That's me in the corner; that's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion, trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much, I haven't said enough
F add sus2
I thought that I heard you laughing
F G Am add sus4
I thought that I heard you sing
F add2 F G Am G
I think I thought I saw you try
Every whisper, every waking hour
I'm choosing my confessions, trying to keep eye on you
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool, fool
Oh no, I've said too much, I said enough
Consider this, consider this hint of the century
Consider this, the slip that brought me to my knees, pale
What if all these fantasies come
Flaming aground, now I've said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try*Interlude* Am G F G
C Dm C Dm
That was just a dream, that was just a dream
That's me in the corner; that's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion, trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much, I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
But that was just a dream
Try, cry, why try
That was just a dream, just a dream,
just a dream, dream...

LOVE IS A ROSE – Neil Young
C F C
Love is a rose but you better not pick it;
G C
it only grows when it's on the vine.
F C
Handful of thorns and you'll know you missed it;
G C
you lose your love when you say the word "mine".
F C
I wanna see what's never been seen,
G C
I wanna live that age old dream.
F C
Come on, lads, we can go together;
G C
let's take the best right now,
(no chords)
take the best right now.
I wanna go to an old hoedown
long ago in a western town.
Pick me up cause my feet are draggin';
give me a lift and I'll hay your wagon.
Love is a rose but you better not pick it;
it only grows when it's on the vine.Handful of thorns and you'll know you missed it;
you lose your love when you say the word "mine".
C F C G C
Love is a rose, love is a rose.

Love is a rose, love is a rose.

Mozambique - Dylan
G/d D' G D
I like to spend some time in MozambiqueG/d D' G D
The sunny sky is aqua blueG/d D' G D
And all the couples dancing cheek to cheek.
C G D
It's very nice to stay a week or two,
C G D
And maybe fall in love just me and you.
There's lots of pretty girls in Mozambique And plenty time for good romance
And everybody likes to stop and speak
To give the special one you seek a chanceOr maybe say hello with just a glance.
Bm F#m
Lying next to her by the oceanEm D
Reaching out and touching her hand,
Bm F#m
Whispering your secret emotion
G A
Magic in a magical land.
And when it's time for leaving MozambiqueTo say goodbye to sand and sea,
You turn around to take a final peek
And you see why it's so unique to be
Among the lovely people living free
Upon the beach of sunny Mozambique.

And now, the end is near; And so I face the final curtain.My friend, I'll say it clear,I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.
I've lived a life that's full.I've traveled each and ev'ry highway;But more, much more than this,I did it my way.
Regrets, I've had a few;But then again, too few to mention.I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.
I planned each charted course;Each careful step along the byway,But more, much more than this,I did it my way.
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knewWhen I bit off more than I could chew.But through it all, when there was doubt,I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall; And did it my way.
I've loved, I've laughed and cried.I've had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,I find it all so amusing.
To think I did all that;
And may I say - not in a shy way,"No, oh no not me,I did it my way".
For what is a man, what has he got?If not himself, then he has naught.To say the things he truly feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.The record shows I took the blows -
And did it my way!

One Tin Soldier
Guitar chordsVersesC G Am AmF C Dm7 G7C G Am Am
F C Dm7 G7
ChorusC Em F CC Em F CC Em F CC C F C
Listen, children, to a storyThat was writ ten long ago,'Bout a kingdom on a mountain
And the val ley-folk below.
On the mountain was a treasureBuried deep beneath the stone, And the valley-people sworeThey'd have it for their very own.
Go ahead and hate your neighbor,Go ahead and cheat a friend.Do it in the name of Heaven,You can justify it in the end.
There won't be any trumpets blowingCome the judgement day,On the bloody morning after....One tin soldier rides away.
So the people of the valleySent a message up the hil l,
Asking for the buried treasure,Tons of gold for which they'd kill.
Came an answer from the kingdom,"With our brothers we will share
Al l the secrets of our mountain, Al l the riches buried there."
Chorus
Now the valley cried with anger,"Mount your horses! Draw your sword!"
And they ki lled the mountain-people,So they won their just reward.
Now they stood beside the treasure,On the mountain, dark and red.Turned the stone and looked beneath it ..."Peace on Earth" was all it said.
Chorus (2x)

Am G F F G
They say the Oregon rain will get you down, But I hunger for the freshness of its sound
The wind, the sun, the things that I have known before, Now seem like faded ghosts, like shadows on the floor
I live in Oregon, Oregon's my home ... I love the trees, the hills, the places I have roamed ...I long to be there, I long to be there with my own kind!
Let me roam endless hours on my own ...
Take me home, back to where green trees grow ...
I feel so lonely and forgotten in this place ...I'm losing hope, my mind is troubled by disgrace ...
I live in Oregon, Oregon's my home ... I love the trees, the hills, the places I have roamed ...I long to be there, I long to be there with my own kind!
I've painted pictures on the blank walls of my cell ... I've walked through countless dreams no mortal words can tell ...
I feel how lonely and forgotten I could be ...My heart is crying out to those who hold the key ...
I live in Oregon, Oregon's my home ... I love the trees, the hills, the places I have roamed ...
I long to be there, I long to be there with my own kind!
I can't go home ...

Paradise
D G DWhen I was a child, my family would travel
D A
Down to western Kentucky where my parents were bornD G D
And there's a backwards old town that's often rememberedD A DSo many times that my mem'ries are worn
And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg CountyDown by the Green River where Paradise layWell, I'm sorry, my son, but you're too late in askingMister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away
Well sometimes we'd travel right down the Green RiverTo the abandoned old prison down by Adrie HillWhere the air smelled like snakes and we'd shoot with our pistolsBut empty pop bottles was all we would kill
And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg CountyDown by the Green River where Paradise layWell, I'm sorry, my son, but you're too late in askingMister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away
And the coal company came with the world's largest shovelAnd they tortured the timber and stripped all the landWell, they dug for their coal till the land was forsakenThen they wrote it all down as the progress of man
And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg CountyDown by the Green River where Paradise layWell, I'm sorry, my son, but you're too late in asking
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away
And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg CountyDown by the Green River where Paradise layWell, I'm sorry, my son, but you're too late in askingMister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away

A Tanto tiempo disfrutamos de este amor
Nuestras almas se acercaron tanto asíQue yo guardo tu saborPero tú llevas también, sabor a mí
A Si negaras mi presencia en tu vivirBastaría con abrazarte y conversarTanta vida yo te di,Que por fuerza tienes ya sabor a mí
B No pretendo ser tu dueñoNo soy nadie yo no tengo vanidadDe mi vida doy lo buenoYo tan pobre que otra cosa puedo dar
A Pasaran más de mil años, muchos másYo no sé si tenga amor la eternidadPero allá como aquíEn la boca llevaras sabor a mí

Camper Van Beethoven
Sad Lover's Waltz
One step for boys, one step for girls, step awayOne step for you, one step for me, step away
Don't take the third step, 'cuz that's just the sad lovers' waltz
Don't take the third step, 'cuz that's just the sad lovers' waltz
One step for anger, one step for pain, step awayOne step for right, one step for wrong, step awayDon't take the third step, 'cuz that's just a sad lover's waltz
Don't take the third step, 'cuz that's just a sad lover's waltz
One step for boys, one step for girls, step away
One step for you, one step for me, step away
One more step makes three, and three steps a waltzDon't take the third step, cuz that's just a sad lover's waltz

The Last Cowboy Song - The Highwaymen
Chorus (all together):
D
This is the last cowboy song
G
The end of a hundred year waltz
A
The voices sound sad as they're singing along
D Another piece of America is lost
Verse 1:(Waylon Jennings)
D
He rides the feed lots,works in a market
A
On weekend selling tobacco and beer
He dreams of tommorrow surrounded by fences
D
But he'll dream tonight of when fences weren't here
Verse 2:(Kris Kristofferson)
D
He blazed the trail with Lewis and Clark
A
And eyeball to eyeball old Wyatt backed down
He stood shoulder to shoulder with Travis in Texas
D
And rode with the Seventh when Custer went down
Chorus.
Verse 3:(Willie Nelson)
D
Remington showed us how he looked on canvas
A
And Louis Lamour told us his tale
Me and Johnny and Waylon and Kris sing about him
D
And wish to God we could have ridden his trail
Verse 4:(spoken-Johnny Cash) and the three others sing the chorus.
D
The old chisom trail is covered in concrete
G
They truck it to market in fifty foot rigs
A
They roll by his graveside and don't even notice
D
Like living and dieing was all he ever did
Chorus.

Now it's been something seeing you againIn this t ime we've had to spendYou've been so good to be around
I thank you for that special thrillKeep me going on untilThe next time I'm in town

Turn The Page – Bob Seger
Em
On a long and lonesome highway east of Omaha
D
You can listen to the engine moanin out as one lone song
A Em
You can think about the woman, or the girl you knew the night before
Em
But your thoughts will so be wandering the way they always do
D
When you're riding sixteen hours and there's nothing much to do
A Em
And you don't feel much like ridin; you just wish the trip was through
CHORUS
D Em
Say here I am, on the road again
D Em
There I am, up on the stage
D A
Here I go, playing the star again
C D Em
There I go, turn the page
You walk into a restaurant, strung out from the road
And you feel the eyes upon you, as you're shaking off the cold
You pretend it doesn't bother you, but you just want to explode
Most times you can't hear 'em talk, other times you can
All the same 'ole cliche's is that a woman or a man
And you always seem outnumbered; you don't dare make a stand
CHORUS
Out there in the spotlight, you're a million miles away
Every ounce of energy, you try to give away
As the sweat pours out your body, like the music that you play
Later in the evening, as you lie awake in bed
With the echo's of the amplifiers, ringin in your head
You smoke the day's last cigarette, remembering what you said
CHORUS
D Em
Aah Here I am, on the road again
D Em
There I am, up on the stage
D A
Here I go, playing the star again
C
There I go
D
There I go
