Verse 3 Through many dangers, toils and snares we have already come T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far and Grace will lead us home

Verse 4 The Lord has promised good to me His word my hope secures He will my shield and portion be as long as life endures

Verse 5 When we've been here a thousand years bright shining as the sun We've no less days to sing God's praise then when we've first begun

Bobby McGee (G) Written by Kris Kristophersen

Verse 1 G Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waiting for a train D And I's feeling nearly as faded as my jeans. Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained, G It rode us all the way to New Orleans. G I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna, C I was playing soft while Bobby sang the blues. G Windshield wipers slapping time, I was holding Bobby's hand in mine, D We sang every song that driver knew.

Chorus C G Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose, D G Nothing ain't worth nothing honey if it ain't free, now now. C G And feeling good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues, D You know feeling good was good enough for me, G Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee.

Verse 2 G From the Kentucky coal mines to the California sun, D Hey, Bobby shared the secrets of my soul. Through all kinds of weather, through everything that we done, G Bobby baby kept me from the cold. G One day up near Salinas, Lord, I let him slip away, C He's looking for that home and I hope he finds it, G But I'd trade all of my tomorrows for one single yesterday D To be holding Bobby's body next to mine. <chorus> <La La Scat>

CCR Medley Have You Ever Seen The Rain (A)

Creedence-Clearwater-Revival

1 A Someone told me long ago There's a calm before the storm, E I know! It's been comin' for sometime. A When it's over so they say It'll rain on a sunny day, E I know! Shining down like water!

Ch D E A F#m I wanna know: have you ever seen the rain? D E A F#m I wanna know: have you ever seen the rain D E A Comin' down on a sunny day

2 Yesterday and days before Sun is cold and rain is hot, I know! Been that way for all my time. Till forever on it goes Thru the circle fast and slow, I know It can't stop I wonder! <chorus> YEAHHHHH! <chorus>

Who'll Stop The Rain (A) Creedence-Clearwater-Revival

1 A D A Long as I remember the rain been comin’ down. A F#m D A Clouds of myst’ry pourin’ confusion on the ground. D A D A Good men through the ages, tryin’ to find the sun; D E F#m A And I wonder, still I wonder, who’ll stop the rain.

2 I went down virginia, seekin’ shelter from the storm. Caught up in the fable, I watched the tower grow. Five year plans and new deals, wrapped in golden chains. And I wonder, still I wonder who’ll stop the rain.

2 Heard the singers playin’, how we cheered for more. The crowd had rushed together, tryin’ to keep warm. Still the rain kept pourin’, fallin’ on my ears. And I wonder, still I wonder who’ll stop the rain.

City Of New Orleans (G) Written by Steve Goodman

Intro G ride ...

Verse 1 G D G Riding on the "City of New Orleans," Em C G D Illinois Central Monday Morning Rail. G D G Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders, Em C G three conductors and twenty five sacks of mail. Em All along the south-bound odyssey Bm The train pulls out of Kankakee. D A Rolls along past houses, farms and fields. Em Passing trains that have no name, Bm Freight yards full of old black men, D G And the graveyards of the rusted automobiles,

Chorus 1 C D G Good morning America, how are you? Em C G D Say, don't you know me, I'm your native son? G D Em I'm the train they call "The City of New Orleans." F C D G I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done.

Verse 2 Dealing card games with the old men in the club car. Penny a point, ain't no one keeping score. Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle. And feel the wheels rumbling 'neath the floor. And the sons of Pullman porters, and the sons of engineers Ride their father's magic carpets made of steel. Mothers will their babes asleep are rockin' to the gentle beat, And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel. <chorus>

Verse 3 Well, it's night time on the City of New Orleans, Changing cars in Memphis, Tennessee. Half way home, we'll be there by morning, Through the Mississippi darkness rolling down to the sea. And all the towns and people seem to fade into a bad dream, And the steel rail still ain't heard the news, The conductor sings his songs again, "The passengers will please refrain..."

Coal Tattoo (capo II Am=>Bm) Billy EDD Wheeler , 1963 bexhill Music & Quartet Music

Verse 1 Am F Am Travelling down that coal town road F G Am Listen to my rubber tires whine Am F Am It's Good-bye to buckeye and white sycamore F G Am I'm leaving you behind Am G For I've been a coal man for all of my life F G Laying down track in the hole C G C Got a back like an iron wood bent by the wind F G Am Blood veins as blue as the coal

Verse 2 Somebody said that's a strange tattoo You have on the side of your head I said that's the blue mark left by the coal A little more and I'd be dead Oh, I love the rumble and I love the dark I love the cool of the slate It's this travelling down that long road looking for a job Traveling and looking that I hate

Verse 3 I stood for the union, I walked in the line I fought against the company I stood for the UMW of A, now whose gonna stand for me Well, I got no house and I got no job just got this worrying soul And a blue tattoo on the side of my head Left by the number nine coal

Verse 4 Someday when I'm dead, dead and gone To heaven the land of my dreams I won't have to worry about losing my job To hard times and big machines I won't have to pay all my money away on dues and hospital plans I'm gonna cut the coal while the blue heavens roll And sing with the angel band Sing with the angel band . . . . Sing with the angel band

Verse 1 E Well the girls in the city got a lot of fine shoes B But they don't got a thing on me While they're sitting in traffic and cryin' the blues E I am goin' to a big party It's out under the stars on the banks of the bayou B Where they've play the zydeco sound Instead of sittin' in traffic, we're makin' such a racket E Every evening when the sun goes down

Chorus E A They got a fiddle in the cajun band E And we go dancin' to it hand in hand B Moonlight as bright as day E Just hear that squeeze box play A City worries getting out of hand E Give them all to the cajun band B They got the salt for your snap beans, Joe E Come dance zydeco <Break like Chorus>

Verse 2 Well I strolled down to the corner, gave my numbers to the clerk The pot's eleven million so I called in sick to work I bought a pack of Camels, a burrito and a Barq's Crossed against the light, made a beeline for the park The sky began to thunder, wind began to moan I heard a voice above me saying, "girl, you better get back home"

Chorus 2 But I feel lucky, oh oh oh, I feel lucky, yeah No tropical depression gonna steal my sun away Mmmmm, I feel lucky today

Verse 3 Now eleven million later, I was sitting at the bar I'd bought the house a double, and the waitress a new car Dwight Yoakam's in the corner, trying to catch my eye Lyle Lovett's right beside me with his hand upon my thigh The moral of this story, it's simple but it's true Hey the stars might lie, but the numbers never do

Chorus 3 I feel lucky, oh oh oh, I feel lucky, yeah Hey Dwight, hey Lyle, boys, you don't have to fight Hot dog, I'm feeling lucky tonight

Chorus 4 I feel lucky, Arrrrrr, I feel lucky, yeah Think I'll flip a coin, I'm a winner either way Mmmmmm, I feel lucky today

Intro A . // Dsus2 . :||

Verse 1 A Woke up cold one tuesday, Cadd9 G i'm looking tired and feeling quite sick, A Cadd9 E i felt like there was something missing in my day to day life, A so i quickly opened the wardrobe, Cadd9 G pulled out some jeans and a T-Shirt that seemed clean, A topped it off with a pair of old shoes, Cadd9 E that were ripped around the seams, Dsus2 and i thought these shoes just don't suit me.

Chorus A E Hey, I put some new shoes on, Dsus2 and suddenly everything is right, A E I said, hey, I put some new shoes on Dsus2 and everybody's smiling, it's so inviting, A E Oh, short on money, but long on time, Dsus2 slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine, A and i'm running late, E and i dont need an excuse, Dsus2 'cause i'm wearing my brand new shoes.


Verse 2 A Woke up late one thursday, Cadd9 G i'm seeing stars as i'm rubbing my eyes, A and i felt like there were two days missing, Cadd9 E// as i focused on the time, A and i made my way to the kitchen, Cadd9 G but i had to stop from the shock of what i found, A Cadd9 E a room full of all my friends dancing round and round, Dsus2 and i thought hello new shoes, bye-bye blues. <Chorus>

Breakdown A Cadd9 Take me wondering through these streets, A Cadd9 where bright lights and angels meet, A Cadd9 stone to stone they take me on, Dsus2 i'm walking to the break of dawn. <repeat> <chorus twice>


Ode To Billie Joe (D) Written by Bobbie Gentry

Intro D ride

Verse 1 D It was the third of June, another sleepy, dusty Delta day I was out choppin' cotton and my brother was balin' hay G And at dinner time we stopped and walked back to the house to eat D And Mama hollered out the back door "y'all remember to wipe your feet" G And then she said "I got some news this mornin' from Choctaw Ridge" D C G D "Today Billy Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"

Verse 2 'n' Papa said to Mama as he passed around the blackeyed peas "Well Billy Joe never had a lick of sense, pass the biscuits, please" "There's five more acres in the lower forty I've got to plow" 'n' Mama said it was shame about Billy Joe, anyhow Seems like nothin' ever comes to no good up on Choctaw Ridge And now Billy Joe MacAllister's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge

Verse 3 'n' Brother said he recollected when he and Tom and Billie Joe Put a frog down my back at the Carroll County picture show And wasn't I talkin' to him after church last Sunday night? "I'll have another piece-a apple pie, you know it don't seem right" "I saw him at the sawmill yesterday on Choctaw Ridge" "And now ya tell me Billie Joe's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"

Verse 4 'n' Mama said to me "Child, what's happened to your appetite?" "I've been cookin' all morning and you haven't touched a single bite" "That nice young preacher, Brother Taylor, dropped by today" "Said he'd be pleased to have dinner on Sunday, oh, by the way" "He said he saw a girl that looked a lot like you up on Choctaw Ridge" "And she and Billy Joe was throwing somethin' off the Tallahatchie Bridge"

Verse 4 A year has come 'n' gone since we heard the news 'bout Billy Joe 'n' Brother married Becky Thompson, they bought a store in Tupelo There was a virus going 'round, Papa caught it and he died last Spring And now Mama doesn't seem to wanna do much of anything And me, I spend a lot of time pickin' flowers up on Choctaw Ridge And drop them into the muddy water off the Tallahatchie Bridge

Chorus Am D Just shower the people you love with love Am D Show them the way that you feel Am D Em G Things are gonna work out fine if you only will Am D Shower the people you love with love Am D Show them the way you feel Am D Em F C Things are gonna be much better if you only will

Verse 2 G... D... Em... C... You can run but you cannot hide, This is widely known And what you plan to do with your foolish pride When you’re all by yourself alone Once you tell somebody the way that you feel You can feel it beginning to ease I think it’s true what they say about the squeaky wheel Always getting the grease.

Chorus 2

Am D Better to shower the people you love with love ...
