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


[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





[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








[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

Things

Hear Bobby Darin sing this at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6pB3tOq7lo

Intro: [C] [C] [C] [C]

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

(window)

[C] Staring at the lonely ave[G7]nue (avenue)

[C] Watching lovers [C7] holding hands* and [F]

laughing (laughing)

And [C] thinking ‘bout the [G7] things we used to

[C] do

[NC] Thinking of [G7] things, like a walk in the

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] Memories are all I have to [Am] cling to

(cling to)

And [C] heartaches are the friends I'm talking

[G7] to (talking to)

When [C] I'm not thinking of [C7] just how much

I [F] loved you (loved you)

Well I'm [C] thinking ‘bout the [G7] things we

used to [C] do


park







[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


park







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]

* This only applies to lovers who live together in the same place of residence. All other lovers must maintain a minimum distance of 1.5m

Gonna Get Along Without You Now

Hear She and Him perform this (with ukulele!) at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArmIKjfVNd4

Ah [C] ha, uhm [Am] hum

Gonna [F] get along with[G7]out you [C] now




Gonna [F] get along with-[G7]out you [C] now



You [C] told me I was the [Am] neatest thing

You [F] even asked me to [G7] wear your ring

You [C] ran around with every [Am] girl in town

You [F] didn't even care if you [G7] got me down





You [C] told everybody that [Am] we were

friends

But [F] this is where our [G7] friendship ends

Because [C] all of a sudden you'd [Am] change

your tune

You [F] haven't been around since [G7] way last

June





So [C] long my [Am] honey, good[F]bye my [G7]

dear

Got a [C] long without you, be [Am] fore I met

you


Gonna [C] find somebody [Am] twice as cute

'Cause I [F] didn't like you [G7] any [C] how

Ah [C] ha, uhm [Em] hum




You [C] told everybody that [Am] we were

friends

But [F] this is where our [G7] friendship ends

Because [C] all of a sudden you'd [Am] change

your tune

You [F] haven't been around since [G7] way last

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



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



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

I Walk The Line

[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] You've got a [G7] way to keep me on your [C] side

I’m On Fire

[C] Hey little girl, is your daddy home?

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




Fading

[Am] Woo ooh woo [C] ooh ooh

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

'Cause [G7] don't [C7] for-[F]get who's taking you home



Baby, don't you know I [G7] love you so? Can't you feel it when we [C] touch?*

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


But [G7] don't [C7] for-[F]get who's taking you home


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”



[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.



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"



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.



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.

Down In The Valley

[C] Down in the valley, the valley so [G7] low

Late in the evening, hear the train [C] blow

Hear the train blow love, hear the train [G7] blow

Late in the evening, hear the train [C] blow

[C] Write me a letter, send it by [G7] mail

Send it in care of Birmingham [C] Jail

Birmingham Jail, love, Birmingham [G7] Jail

Send it in care of Birmingham [C] Jail

[C] The train won't stay love, it goes right [G7] through

It will be gone love, and so will [C] you

And so will you, love, and so will [G7] you

It will be gone love, and so will [C] you

[C] Before you go love, for old time's [G7] sake

Put your arms round me, feel my heart [C] break

Feel my heart break, love, feel my heart [G7] break,

Put your arms round me, feel my heart [C] break

[C] Roses love sunshine violets love [G7] dew

Angels in heaven know I love [C] you

Know I love you dear know I love [G7] you

Angels in heaven know I love [C] you

[C] Down in the valley, the valley so [G7] low

Late in the evening hear the train [C] blow

Hear the train blow love hear the train [G7] blow

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,

[G7] On the [C] bonnie, bonnie [F] banks o’ Loch Lo[G7] [C]mond.

Oh, [C] ye'll take the [C7] high road and [F] I'll take the [G7] low road,

And [C] I'll be in [C7] Scotland a[F]fore [G7] ye,

But [F] me and my [C] true love will [F] never meet again


'Twas [C] there that we [C7] parted in [F] yon shady [G7] glen,

On the [C] steep, steep [C7] side o' Ben [F]Lo[G7]mon',

Where [F] in purple [C] hue the [F] Hieland hills we view,

[G7] An' the [C] moon coming [F] out in the gloa[G7] [C]min'.





The [C] wee birdies [C7] sing and the [F] wild flowers [G7] spring,

And in [C] sunshine the [C7] waters are [F] slee[G7]pin',

But [F] my broken [C] heart it [F] kens nae second spring,

[G7] Tho' the [C] waefu' may [F] cease frae their gree[G7] [C]tin'.

(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] 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]





Yes ‘n [G7] hey, it’s good to be back home a[F]ga[C]in

[F] Day after day I'm more con[C]fused

through

[F] And when my mind is free

[F] Thanks for the joy that you've given [C] me

[F] I want you to [G7] know I believe in your

[C] song

[F] And rhythm and rhyme and harmo[C]ny

[F] You've helped me along, [F] makin' me strong

[NC] - clapping Oh, give me the beat boys and

free my soul

I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift

away

Give me the beat boys and free my soul

I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift

away



drift away



drift away

Na na na, won't you, [F] won't you [C] take me

Oh, [G7] take me (fade out)
