“ Fever” – Peggy Lee
[Intro] Am C E
Am C Dm Am
Never know how much I love you, never know how much I care
Am C E Am
When you put your arms around me, I get a fever that's so hard to bear
Am C Dm Am
You give me fever, when you kiss me, fever when you hold me tight
Am C E Am
Fever! In the morning, fever all through the night
Am C Dm Am
Sun lights up the daytime, moon lights up the night
Am C E Am
I light up when you call my name, and you know I'm gonna treat you right
Am C Dm Am
You give me fever, when you kiss me, fever when you hold me tight
Am C E Am
Fever! In the morning, fever all through the night
[BRIDGE]
Am C Dm Am
Everybody's got the fever, that is something you all know
Am C E Am
Fever isn't such a new thing, fever started long ago
Am C Dm Am
Romeo loved Juliet, Juliet she felt the same
Am C E Am
When he put his arms around her, he said, "Julie, Baby, you're my flame”
Am C Dm Am
"Thou giveth fever, when we kisseth, fever with thy flaming youth
Am C E Am
“Fever! I'm afire, fever, yeah, I burn, forsooth.”
Am C Dm Am
Captain Smith and Pocahontas had a very mad affair
Am C E Am
When her daddy tried to kill him, she said, “Daddy, oh, don't you dare!”
Am C Dm Am
"He gives me fever with his kisses, fever when he holds me tight
Am C E Am
Fever! I'm his misses, so Daddy, Won't you treat him right?”
Am C Dm Am
Now you've listened to my story, here's the point that I have made
Am C E Am
Chicks were born to give you fever, be it Fahrenheit or Centigrade
Am C Dm Am
They give you fever, when you kiss them, fever if you live and learn
Am C E Am
Fever! 'till you sizzle, what a lovely way to burn
E Am
what a lovely way to burn
E Am
what a lovely way to burn
E Am
what a lovely way to burn

Ode to Billy Joe – Bobby Gentry
D9 = x54530 xx0320 D9/A = 5x4530 Am7 = 505550 x02010
G7 = 3x303x C7 = x32310 D7 = x5453x xx0212
D9 D9/A (Am7) D9 D9/A D9 D9/A
It was the third of June, another sleepy, dusty, Delta day,
D9 D9/A Am7 D9 D9/A D9 D9/A
I was out chopping cotton, and my brother was bailing hay,
G7
And at dinner time we stopped, and walked back to the house to eat,
D9 D9/A
And Momma hollered out the back door,
(Am7) D9 D9/A D9 D9/A
"Y'all re - member ...to wipe your feet!"
G7
And then she said, "I got some news this mornin' ...from Choctaw Ridge,
D9 C7 D9 D9/A D9 D9/A
Today, Billie Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge!"
D9 D9/A Am7 D9 D9/A D9 D9/A
And Poppa said to Momma, as he passed around the blackeyed peas,
D9 D9/A Am7 D9 D9/A D9 D9/A
"Well, Billie Joe never had a lick of sense! Pass the biscuits, please!
G7
"There's five more acres in the lower forty ...I got to plow!"
D9 D9/A (Am7) D9 D9/A D9 D9/A
And Momma said it was shame ...a - bout Billie Joe any - how,
G7
Seems like nothing ever comes to no good up on Choctaw Ridge,
D9 C7 D9 D9/A D9 D9/A
And now Billie Joe MacAllister's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge!
D9 D9/A (Am7) D9 D9/A D9 D9/A
Brother said he recollected ....when he, and Tom, and Billie Joe,
D9 D9/A (Am7) D9 D9/A D9 D9/A
Put a frog down my back at the Carroll County Picture Show,
G7
And, "Wasn't I talkin' to him after church, last Sunday night?
D9 D9/A (Am7) D9 D9/A D9 D9/A
I'll have a - nother piece of apple pie! You know, it don't seem right,
G7
I saw him at the sawmill yesterday, up on Choctaw Ridge,
D9 C7 D9 D9/A D9 D9/A
And now you tell me Billie Joe's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge!"
8
D9 D9/A Am7 D9 D9/A D9 D9/A
Momma said to me, "Child, what's happened to your appe - tite?"
D9 D9/A Am7 D9 D9/A D9 D9/A
Why, I've been cookin' all morning, and you haven't touched a single bite,
G7
That nice young preacher, Brother Taylor, dropped by today,
D9 D9/A (Am7) D9 D9/A D9 D9/A
Said he'd be pleased to have dinner on Sunday! Oh, by the way,
G7
He said he saw a girl that looked a lot like you up on Choctaw Ridge,
D9 C7 D9 D9/A D9 D9/A
And she, and Billie Joe, was throwing somethin' off the Tallahatchie Bridge!"
D9 D9/A Am7 D9 D9/A D9 D9/A
A year has come and gone since we heard the news 'bout Billie Joe,
D9 D9/A Am7 D9 D9/A D9 D9/A
Brother married Becky Thompson, they bought a store in Tupe - lo,
G7
There was a virus going 'round, Poppa caught it, and he died last Spring,
D9 D9/A (Am7) D9 D9/A D9 D9/A
And now Momma doesn't seem to wanna do much ...of any - thing,
G7
And me, I spend a lot of time pickin' flowers up on Choctaw Ridge,
D9 C7 D9 D9/A
And drop them into the muddy water off the Tallahatchie Bridge!

Those Were The Days Mary Hopkin (Gene Raskin "Dorogoi dlinnoyu" by Boris Fomin) Capo II
Em Am B7 Em
Em
Once upon a time, there was a tavern
E7 Am
Where we used to raise a glass or two
Em
Remember how we laughed away the hours,
F#7 B7
Think of all the great things we would do
Em
Those were the days, my friend
Am
We thought they'd never end
D D7 G
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
Am
We'd live the life we'd choose
Em
We'd fight and never lose
B7 Em
For we were young and sure to have our way
B7 Em
La La La La La La La La
Am
La La La La La La
B7 Em
La La La La La La La La La La
Em
Then, the busy years went rushing by us
E7 Am
We lost our starry notions on the way
Em
If, by chance, I'd see you in the tavern,
F#7 B7
We'd smile at one another and we'd say
Em
Those were the days, my friend
Am
We thought they'd never end
D D7 G
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
Am
We'd live the life we'd choose
Em
We'd fight and never lose
B7 Em
For we were young and sure to have our way
B7 Em
La La La La La La La La
Am
La La La La La La
B7 Em
La La La La La La La La La La
Em
Just tonight, I stood before the tavern
E7 Am
Nothing seemed the way it used to be
Em
In the glass, I saw a strange reflection
F#7 B7
Was that lonely woman really me?
Em
Those were the days, my friend
Am
We thought they'd never end
D D7 G
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
Am
We'd live the life we'd choose
Em
We'd fight and never lose
B7 Em
For we were young and sure to have our way
B7 Em
La La La La La La La La
Am
La La La La La La
B7 Em
La La La La La La La La La La
Em
Through the door, there came familiar
laughter
E7 Am
I saw your face and heard you call my name
Em
Oh, my friend, we're older but no wiser
F#7
B7
For in our hearts, the dreams are still the
same
Em
Those were the days, my friend
Am
We thought they'd never end
D D7 G
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
Am
We'd live the life we'd choose
Em
We'd fight and never lose
B7 Em
For we were young and sure to have our way

Billy Ray was a preacher's son And when his daddy would visit he'd come along
B7
When they'd gather 'round and started talking That's when Billy would take me walking
A-through the back yard we'd go walking Then he'd look into my eyes
Lord knows to my surprise
[Chorus]
E A E
The only one who could ever reach me Was the son of a preacher man
E A E E
The only boy who could ever teach me Was the son of a preacher man
E B A
Yes he was, he was, mmm, yes he was
(Intro)
E A E
Being good isn't always easy No matter how hard I'd try
B7
When he started sweet-talkin' to me He'd come and tell me everything is all right
He'd kiss and tell me everything is all right Can I get away again tonight
- CHORUS -
[Bridge]
D A
(Yes, he was) How well I remember The look was in his eyes
B7
Stealin' kisses from me on the sly Takin' time to make time

Tellin' me that he's all mine Learnin' from each other's knowin'
Look at us here, how much we've grown

7/25/2016 At seventeen - Janis Ian
http://bettylou.zzruss.com/atseventeen.htm 1/2
At seventeen (video) (intro)
A ~ A
1. I learned the truth at seventeen
Bm
that love was meant for beauty queens,
E
and high school girls with clear skinned smiles,
A A ~
who married young and then retired.
A Bm
The Valentines I never knew, the Friday nights, charades of youth
E A
were spent on one more beautiful at seventeen I learned the truth.
C Bm E
1a. And those of us with ravaged faces, lacking in the social graces,
Am Dm Am Dm
desp'ratly remained at home, inventing lovers on the phone,
F E
who called to say, "Come dance with me!"
Am Dm Bm E
and murmured vague obscenities, it isn't all it seems at seventeen.
A
2. A brown eyed girl in handmedowns,
Bm
whose name I never could pronounce,
E
said, pity, please, the ones who serve,
A A ~
they only get what they deserve.
A Bm
And the rich relationed hometown queen marries into what she needs
E A
with a guarantee of company and haven for the elderly.
C
2a. Remember those who win the game,
Bm E
lose the love they sought to gain,
Am Dm Am Dm
in debentures of quality and dubious integrity,
20
7/25/2016 At seventeen - Janis Ian
http://bettylou.zzruss.com/atseventeen.htm 2/2
F E
their small town eyes will gape at you
Am Dm
in dull surprise when payment due
Bm E
exceeds accounts received at seventeen
+ A Bm E A + instrumental = verse 2a + A ~
A Bm
3. To those of us who know the pain of Valentines that never came,
E
and those whose names were never called,
A A ~
when choosing side at basketball.
A Bm
It was long ago and far away, the world was younger than today,
E A
and dreams were all they gave for free to ugly duckling girls like me.
C
3a. We all play the game and when we dare
Bm E
to cheat ourselves at solitaire
Am Dm Am Dm
inventing lovers on the phone, repenting other lives unknown
F E
that call and say, "Come dance with me!"
Am Dm Bm E A
and murmur vague obscenities at ugly girls like me, at seventeen.

7/25/2016 The rose - Bette Midler
http://bettylou.zzruss.com/therose.htm 1/1
The rose (video) (clip) (midi)
C ~
C G F G C
1. Some say love, it is a river, that drowns the tender reed,
C G F G C
some say love, it is a razor, that leaves your soul to bleed.
Em Am F G G7
Some say love it is a hunger, an endless aching need,
C G F G C
I say love it is a flower and you its only seed.
C G F G C
2. It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance,
C G F G C
it's the dream afraid of waking that never takes a chance.
Em Am F G G7
It's the one, who won't be taken, who cannot seem to give,
C G F G C
and the soul afraid of dying that never learns to live.
C G F G C
3. When the night has been too lonely and the road has been too long,
C G F G C
and you feel that love is only for the lucky and the strong.
Em Am F G G7
Just remember in the winter, far beneath the bitter snow
C G F G C
lies the seed that with the sun's love, in the spring becomes the rose.
(Bette Midler)

Wind beneath my wings
G C
It must have been cold there in my shadow,
G C
to never have sunlight on your face.
Am D
You were content to let me shine; that's your way.
Am D
You always walked a step behind.
G C
So I was the one with all the glory,
G C
while you were the one with all the strain.
Am D
A beautiful face without a name; for so long.
Am D B7
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.
[Chorus]
Em C G
Did you ever know that you're my hero,
Em C G D
and everything I would like to be?
Em C G D
I can fly higher than an eagle
C D G
for you are the wind beneath my wings.
G C
It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
G C
but I've got it all here in my heart.
Am D
I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it.
Am D B7
I would be nothing without you.
[Chorus] 2x
Em C G
Did you ever know that you're my hero,
Em C G D
and everything I would like to be?

I can fly higher than an eagle

Angel Sarah McLachlan Gsus4: 3x0013 Fmaj7/A: x03211
Intro: C Fmaj7/A (x2)
Dm7 F
Spend all your time waiting for that second chance, C F G
For the break that will make it okay. Dm7 F
There’s always some reason to feel not good enough, C F G
And it’s hard at the end of the day. Dm7 F
I need some distraction or a beautiful release,C F G
Memories seep from my veins. Dm7 F
Let me be empty and weightless and maybe, C F Gsus4
I’ll find some peace tonight.
Chorus:
C Cadd9 C Em
In the arms of the angel fly away from here, F C G
From this dark, cold hotel room and the endlessness that you fear. C Cadd9 C Em
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie, F C G
You’re in the arms of the angel, may you find some comfort here.
Repeat Intro
Dm7 F
So tired of the straight line and everywhere you turn, C F G
There’s vultures and thieves at your back. Dm7 F
The storm keeps on twisting, you keep on building the lies, C F G
That make up for all that you lack. Dm7 F
It don’t make no difference, escape one last time, C F G
It’s easier to believe. Dm7 F
In this sweet madness, oh, this glorious sadness, C F Gsus4
That brings me to my knees
Chorus
C F C G
You’re in the arms of the angel, may you find some comfort here.
Ending:

Dar Williams It's Alright
G D
I know change is a bad thing
Am C
Breaks me down into a sorry sad thing
G D Am C
Not some iridescent grateful butterfly
G D
I'll resist with defiance
Am C
Not the power of a mystic silence
G D Am C
I will fight the dizzy spiral of goodbye
G D Am C
And it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
G D Am C
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
G D
Please don't say you don't love me
Am C
Never dangle any sword above me
G D Am C
With the kind of change that severs me in two
G D
Give me amberizing glasses
Am C
Could you slow it down like molasses
G D Am C
As I salvage my old self away from you?
G D Am C
Oh, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
G D Am C
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
G D Am C
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
C
Because I have seen insane things
Am
All those grand, historic paintings
C D
Morning light on polished swords and burnished pride
62
Am
Anxious smiles encased in whalebone
C
Spines of steel from head to tail bone
Am C D
Cannons poised to blast the turning of the tide
G D
It's a sad and a strange thing
Am C
But it's time and I am changing
G D Am C
Into something good or bad, well, that's your guess
G D
I'm my own sovereign nation
Am C
Dedicated to a transformation
G D Am C
Marching on with this target on my chest, Oh yes,
G D Am C
And it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
G D Am C
Oh, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
Em G Am C
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
G D Am C
Oh, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
G D Am C
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
G D Am
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
What's this?

LA VIE EN ROSE (English version) (Listen to midi)
G Bm Em
Hold me close and hold me fast, the magic spell you cast,
Am D
this is la vie en rose.
D7 D
When you kiss me, Heaven sighs, and though I close my eyes,
G D
I see la vie en rose.
G Bm Em
When you press me to your heart, I'm in a world apart,
C
a world where roses bloom.
Am G
And when you speak angels sing from above,
Am C Am D D7
every day words seem to turn into love songs.
G Bm Em C
Give your heart and soul to me, and life will always be,
Am D G
la vie en rose.
G Am C
I thought that love was just a word, they sang about in songs I heard.
G E C Am D
It took your kisses to reveal, that I was wrong, and love is real.
