    D1: 022010

    [G0] I'm going away to [G1] leave you, going to leave [G0]  you in dis- [G1] grace.
    [G0] Nothing in my [G1] favour, got the [G0] wind in my [G1] face.
    I'm going [G2] home;
    [D1] Hey, hey, hey, over the [G0] hill. [G1] [G0]
    Over the [G1] hill [G2]
    [D1] Hey, hey, hey, over the [G0] hill.

    Can't get enough of sweet cocaine, get enough of Mary Jane.
    Going back to where I come from, going to roll 'em back home again.
    Over the hill, hey,hey,hey, over the hill.
    Over the hill; hey,hey,hey, over the hill.

    I've been worried about my babies, been worried about my wife.
    There's just one place for a man to be, when he's worried about his life
    I'm going home, hey,hey,hey, over the hill.
    Over the hill; hey,hey,hey, over the hill.

    Well I'm going away to leave you, going to leave you in disgrace.
    I got nothing in my favour; the rain in my face.
    I'm going home, hey, hey, hey, over the hill
    Over the hill; hey, hey, hey, over the hill.

    Over the hill,
    Hey, hey, hey, over the hill.
    Over the hill;
    Hey, hey, hey, over the hill.

    Moonshadow
Oh, [D] I'm bein' followed by a [G] moon- [D] shadow, moon- [A7] shadow, [D]  moonshadow
[G] Leapin and hoppin' on a [D] moonshadow, [G] moonshadow, [A7] moon- [D] shadow

And [G] if I [D] ever [G] lose my [D] hands, [G] lose my [D] plough, [Em] lose my [A] land
Oh, [G] if I ever [D] lose my hands, Oh, [E] if.... [A] [D] [Bm] [Em]
I [A] won't have to work no [D] more.


And [G] if I [D] ever [G] lose my [D] eyes, [G] if my [D] colors [Em] all run [A] dry
and [G] if I ever [D] lose my eyes, Oh, [E] if.... [A] [D] [Bm] [Em]
I [A] won't have to cry no [D] more.

And [G] if I [D] ever [G] lose my [D] legs, [G] I won't [D] moan [Em] I won't [A] beg
'cause [G] if I ever [D] lose my legs, Oh, [E] if.... [A] [D] [Bm] [Em]
I [A] won't have to walk no [D] more.

And [G] if I [D] ever [G] lose my [D] mouth, [G] all my [D] teeth [Em] north and [A] south
yes [G] if I ever [D] lose my mouth, Oh, [E] if.... [A] [D] [Bm] [Em]
I [A] won't have to talk... [D]

Don't Think Twice, It's Alright
It [C] ain't no use to [G] sit and wonder [Am] why, babe
[F] If'n you don't know by [C] now [G]
An' it [C] ain't no use to [G] sit and wonder [Am] why, babe
[D7] It'll never do some- [G] how

When your [C] rooster crows at the [C7] break of dawn
[F] Look out your window and [D7] I'll be gone
[C] You're the [G] reason I'm [Am] trav'lin' [F] on
[C] Don't think [G] twice, it's all [C] right

It [C] ain't no use in [G] turnin' on your [Am] light,babe
[F] That light I never [C] knowed [G]
An' it [C] ain't no use in [G] turnin' on your [Am] light,babe
[D7] I'm on the dark side of the [G] road

Still I [C] wish there was somethin' you would [C7] do or say
To [F] try and make me change my [D7] mind and stay
We [C] never did [G] too much [Am] talkin' any- [F] way
[C] Don't think [G] twice, it's all [C] right

It [C] ain't no use in [G] callin' out my [Am] name, gal
[F] Like you never did [C] before [G]
And it [C] ain't no use in [G] callin' out my [Am] name, gal
[D7] I can't hear you any- [G] more

I'm [C] a-thinkin' and a-wond'rin' walkin' all the [C7] way down the road
I [F] once loved aw woman, a [D7] child I'm told
I [C] gave her my [G] heart but she [Am] wanted my [F] soul
[C] Don't think [G] twice, it's all [C] right

[C] So [G] loooooong, honey [Am] babe
[F] Where I'm bound, I can't [C] tell [G]
But [C] goodbye's [G] too good a [Am] word, babe
[D7] So I'll just say fare thee [G] well

[C] I ain't sayin' you treated [C7] me unkind
You [F] could have done better but [D7] I don't mind
[C] You just kinda [G] wasted my [Am] precious [F] time
But [C] don't think [G] twice, it's all [C] right

Clay Pidgeons
I'm goin' [G] down to the Greyhound station
Gonna get a [C] ticket to ride
Gonna [G] find that lady with two or three kids
And sit down [D] by her side

Ride [G] 'til the sun comes up and down around me
'Bout [C] two or three times
Smokin' [G] cigarettes in the last seat
Tryin' to [D] hide my sorrow from the people I meet

And get [G] along with it all
Go down where the [C] people say 'Y'all'
Sing a [G] song with a friend
Change the [D] shape that I'm in

And get [G] back in the game and start
[C] playin' again [G] [D] [G]

[G] I'd like to stay
But I might have to go to start [C] over again
Might [G] go back down to Texas
Might go to somewhere that [D] I've never been

I [G] get up in the mornin' and go out at night
So I won't [C] have to go home
Get used to [G] bein' alone
Change [D] the words to this song, start [G] singin' again

I'm [G] tired of runnin' 'round lookin'
For answers that I [C] already know
I could [G] build me a castle of memories
Just to have [D] somewhere to go

Count the [G] days and the nights that it takes
To get back in the [C] saddle again
Feed the [G] pigeons some clay, turn the [D] night into day
Start [G] talkin' again, when I [C] know what to say [G] [D] [G]

Dream a Little Dream
[C] Stars [B7] shining bright [Ab] above [G] you
[C] Night [B7] breezes seem to [A] whisper I [A7] love you
[F] Birds singing in the [Fm] Sycamore tree
[C] Dream a little [Ab] dream of [G] me [G7]

Do I Want to Know
[Am] Have you got color in your [G] cheeks?
[D] Do you ever get the feeling that you can't shift –
The type that sticks around like [Am] something in your teeth?
Are some [G] aces up your sleeve?
[D] I had no idea that you're in deep
I dreamt about you nearly [Am] every night this week
How many [G] secrets can you keep?
[D] 'Cause there's this tune I found that makes me think of you somehow
and I [Am] play it on repeat, until I [G] fall asleep
Spilling [D] drinks on my settee

[Am] (Do I wanna know)
If this [G] feeling flows both ways?
[D] (Sad to see you go) Was sort of hoping that you'd stay
(Baby [Am] we both know)
That the [G] nights were mainly made for saying [D] things
that you can't say by light of day

Crawling back to [Cmaj7] you
Ever thought of [D] calling when you've [G] had a few?
'Cause I always [Em] do
Maybe I'm [Cmaj7] too busy being [D] yours to fall for [G] somebody new
Now I've thought it [Em] through

[Am] So have you got the [G] guts?
[D] Been wondering if your heart's still open and if so
I wanna know what [Am] time it shuts
Simmer [G] down and pucker up
[D] I'm sorry to interrupt
It's just I'm constantly on the cusp of [Am] trying to [G] kiss you
And I don't know [D] if you feel the same as I do
[Am] But we could be [G] together
if you [D] wanted to

(Do I [Cmaj7] wanna know?)
Too busy being [D] yours to fall
(Sad to [G] see you go)
Ever thought of [Cmaj7] calling [D] darling?
(I think that [G] we both know)
Do you want me [D] crawling [Em] back to you?

[Cmaj7] [B7] [Em]

Lungs
[Em] Wont you lend your lungs to me
[D] Mine are co-[Em] llapsing
Plant my feet and bitterly breathe
[D] up the time that's [Em] passing
[D] Breath I'll give and [Em] breath I'll take
And [D] pray the day's not [Em] poison
[Em] Stand among the ones that live
In [D] lonely inde-[Em] cision

Fingers walk the darkness down
Mind is on the midnight
Gather up the gold you've found
You fool it's only moonlight
And if you try to take it home
Your hands'll turn to butter
Better leave this dream alone
Try to find another

Salvation sat and crossed herself
And called the devil partner
Wisdom burned upon a shelf
Who'll kill the raging cancer?
Seal the river at its mouth
Take the water prisoner
Fill the sky with screams and cries
Bathe in fiery answer

Jesus was an only son
Love his only concept
Strangers cry in foreign tongues
And dirty up the doorstep
And I for one, doun't know bout you
Ain't got the time for outside
Just keep your injured looks to you
We'll tell the world we tried

Please Don't Bury Me
[C] Woke up this morning, [F] put on my slippers
[C] Walked in the kitchen and [G] died
And [C] oh, what a feelin' when my [F] soul went through the ceiling
And [C] on up into [G] heaven I did [C] rise

When I [F] got there they did say, it [C] happened this a-way
You slipped upon the floor and hit your head
And all the angels say just before you passed away
These were the very last words that you said

Please [F] don't bury me down [C] in the cold, cold ground
No, I druther have them cut me up and pass me all around
Throw my brain in a hurricane, the blind can have my eyes
the deaf can take both my ears if they don't mind the size

Give my [C] stomache to Milwaukee if [F] they run out of beer
Put my socks in a cedar box, just get them out of here
Venus de Milo can have my arms, look out, I've got your nose
Sell my heart to the junk man and give my love to rose

Give my [C] feet to the footloose, [F] careless, fancy free
Give my knees to the needy, don't pull that stuff on me
Hand me down my walkin' cane it's a sin to tell a lie
Send my mouth way down south, and kiss my ass goodbye

Please Don't Talk About Me
[D] Please don't talk [F#7] about me when I'm [B] gone, [B7]
[E] Though our [E7] friendship [A] ceases from now [D] on. [A7]
[D] If you can't say [F#7] anything that's [B] nice, [B7]
then [E] best not to [E7] talk at [A] all..that's my [D] advice.

[F#7] You go your way, I'll go mine,
It's [B] best that we can [B7] do.w
[E] Here's a kiss.. I [E7] hope that this..
brings [A] lots of [E7] luck to [A] you. [A7]

[D] Makes no difference [F#7] how I carry [B] on,
[E] Please don't [E7] talk [A] about [A+] me when I'm [D] gone.

Anyone Who Knows What Love is
you can [A] blame me, try to [G] shame me
and still I'll [A] care for [G] you

you can run around, even put me down
still I'll be there for you

the [D] world, may think I'm [Dm] foolish
They can't [C#m] see you

I know, I won't ever let you go
it's more, than I could ever stand
oh but anyone who knows what love is
will understand

Silver and Gold

[A] Devil gonna sell my [D] soul
[A] Gonna Come back home, [D] to my
Little love with my [E] pockets full of
Silver and [A] gold

Well you’re out of luck said the devil

The police man he come taken all my land and

And I’m [D] on [E] my [A] own
No [E] place to call my [D] home

Well, I’ll give you 20 women
Pretty gals for your soul
They’ll love you sweet all the good days of the week
Till your buried and your dead and your cold

Well, I already got me a woman
That’s why I look so old
If I go home she’s gonna leave me on my own
‘Cause I got no silver and gold

Well I give you a brand new motor car
A motor car for your soul
You can drive all around with a good gal on the town
You can take her right down the road

Well, I don’t want your motor car
No motor car worth my soul
I have to bust my ass just to buy a tank of gas
I can drive right down the road

Miss Ohio
[F] Oh me oh [C] my oh, [G] look at Miss [Am] Ohio
[F] She's a-running [C] around with her [G] rag-top down
She says I [F] wanna do right but [C] not right [G] now

You drive down to Atlanta and live out this fantasy
Running around with your rag-top down
Saying, "I wanna do right but not right now"

He puts his arm around your shoulder, like a regimental soldier
An' your mamma starts pushing that wedding gown
Yeah you wanna do right but not right now

I know all about it, so you don't have to shout it
I'm gonna straighten it out somehow
Yeah I wanna do right but not right now

Street People
[E] Hanging out with the street people [A] they got it [E] now
[E] Hanging out with my street people [A] drifting from town to [E] town

Once had a job at a nursery, but they just didn't like what I grow
They called the man, he ran me off and said don't come back no more

So i, clicked with some street people, the showed me how behave
roaming back and forth, wherever we want, just trying to keep in the shade

[A] How great it is, to know who I am, [E] and be happy where I'm at
[A] Some people would rather work, [F#] we need people like [B] that

I'm glad i'm a street people, have it no other way
I'm gonna stay a street people till my dying day

Who's gonna work and let make economy grow if we all hang out in the street
Well I don't know and I don't care just as long as it aint me

Just hanging out, got nothing else to do, got any spare change buddy.

Our Town
[A] And you know the [D] sun's setting fast
And [A] just like they say, nothing [E] good ever lasts
Well go on now, and kiss it goodbye
But hold on to your lover, 'cause your heart's bound to die

[A] Go on now, and [D] say goodbye to [A] our town, [E] to our town
[A] Can't you see the [D] sun setting down on [A] our town, [E] on our town, goodnight

Up the street beside the red neon light
That's where I met my baby on one hot summer night
He was the tender and I ordered a beer
It's been forty years and I'm still sitting here

It's here I had my babies and I had my first kiss
I've walked down Main Street on the cold morning mist
Over there is where I bought my first car
It turned over once, but then it never went far

I buried my Mama and I buried my Pa
They sleep up the street beside the pretty brick wall
I bring 'em flowers about every day
But I just gotta cry when I think what they'd say

Now I set on the porch and watch the lightning bugs fly
But I can't see too good, I got tears in my eyes
I'm leaving tomorrow, but I don't wanna go
I love you, my town, you'll always live in my soul

Hard Times, Lord
Oh, [G] I've been havin' some hard travelin', I thought you knowed.
I've been facing some mighty trials, [A] aways down the [D] road.
[G] face is grimy, backs a hurtin', [C] can't find no place to rest my burdens,
An' [D] I've been havin' some hard times now, [G] Lawd.

Ooh, I've been workin' in a hard rock tunnel, I thought you knowed.
I've been pourin' red hot slag way down the road.
I've been a-blastin' an' I've been firin' an' I've been pourin' the red hot iron
An' I've been havin' some hard times now, Lawd.

Oh, I've been ridin' in them box cars, I thought you knowed.
I've been train hopping, searching out work, way down the road.
coal hoppers, flat wheelers, dead enders, kicking up cinders
An' I've been havin' some hard times now, Lawd.

Oh, I've been breakin' my back harvestin', I thought you knowed.
Bakersfield, up to Chico, on down the road.
Bunchin' that wheat an' stacking that hay, only make a couple dollars a day
An' I've been havin' some hard times now, Lawd.

Oh, I've been locked in a hard time jail, I thought you knowed.
I've been layin' out a quarter year, way down the road.
The mean old judge he says to me, "That's a-ninety days for vagrancy."
An' I've been hittin' some hard times now, Lawd.

Oh, I've been walkin' that Lincoln Highway, I thought you knowed.
I've been hitchin' on the '66, way down the road.
i've a heavy load, i'm a worried man, I'm a-lookin' for a break anywhere that i can,
I've been havin' some hard times now, Lawd.

Oh, I've been lookin' for a good woman, I thought you knowed
gotta start a family, get right with God, somewhere down the road
It ain't easy, wasn't meant to be, but why'd this life have to happen to me
I've been havin' some hard times now, Lawd.

Blues Run The Game
[G] Catch a boat to [C] England, baby, [G] maybe to [C] Spain,
[G] Wherever [C] I have gone, [G] wherever I've [C] been and gone,
[G] Wherever [C] I have gone
The [D] blues [C] are all the [G] same.

Send out for whisky, baby, send out for gin,
Me and room service, honey, me and room service, babe,
Me and room service
Well, we're living a life of sin

When I'm not drinking, baby, you are on my mind,
When I'm not sleeping, honey, when I ain't sleeping, mama,
When I'm not sleeping
Well you know you'll find me crying.

Try another city, baby, another town,
Wherever I have gone, wherever I've been and gone,
Wherever I have gone
The blues come following down.

Living is a gamble, baby, loving's much the same,
Wherever I have played, wherever I throw them dice,
Wherever I have played
The blues have run the game.

Maybe tomorrow, honey, someplace down the line,
I'll wake up older, so much older, mama,
Wake up older
And I'll just stop all my trying.

Catch a boat to England, baby, maybe to Spain,
Wherever I have gone, wherever I've been and gone,
Wherever I have gone
The blues are all the same.

Fly Away Home
[G] Some glad morning [G7] when this life is o'er, [C] I'll fly [G] away
[G] To a home on God's celestial shore, [D7] I'll fly [G] away

I'll fly away, O glory, I'll fly away
When I die, hallelujah, by and by I'll fly away

When the shadows of this life have grown, I'll fly away
Like a bird from prison bars has flown, I'll fly away

Just a few more weary days, and then, I'll fly away
To a land where joys shall never end, I'll fly away


---
You and I
[C] don't you worry, there my honey
[F] we might not have any money
[Am] but we've got our love to pay the [F] bills

maybe I think you're cute and funny,
maybe I wanna do what bunnies
do with you, if you know what I mean

Oh, [C] let's get rich and [E] buy our parents [F] homes in the South of [C] France
let's get rich and give every- [E] body nice sweaters
and [F] teach them how to [G] dance
let's get [C] rich and build our [E] house on a mountain
making [F] everybody look like [D] ants
from way up [C] there, you and [F] I, [G] you and [C] I

well you might be a bit confused
and you might be a little bit bruised
but baby how we spoon like no one else
so I will help you read those books
if you will soothe my worried looks
and we will put the lonesome on the shelf

In Spite of Ourselves
[C] i gotta gal, she's kinda funny,
she don't like to go out, when it's to sunny,
She [F] looks down her nose at money
gets [C] it on like the Easter Bunny
but [G] she's my baby, and i'm her honey
i'm never gonna let her [C] go

He ain't got laid in a month of Sundays
I caught him once and he was sniffin' my undies
He ain't too sharp but he gets things done
Drinks his beer like it's oxygen
He's my baby, And I'm his honey
Never gonna let him go

In spite of our- [F] selves
here we are sittin' on a [C] rainbow
Against all [G] odds
we [C] won the big door prize
we ain't got [F] much
in the way of [C] money
don't need nothin' but the [G] light
dancing in your [C] eyes

She thinks all my jokes are corny
Convict movies make her horny
She likes ketchup on her scrambled eggs
Swears like a sailor when she shaves her legs
She takes a lickin' but she keeps on tickin'
I'm never gonna let her go.

He's got more balls than a big brass monkey
He's a whacked out weirdo and a lovebug junkie
He's sly as a fox and crazy as a loon
When payday comes, he's howlin' at the moon
But he's my baby.  I don't mean maybe
Never gonna let him go

Only a Fool
[A] Why do I keep [E] fooling myself
[F#m] When I know you [C#m] love someone else
[D] Only a [E] fool breaks his own [A] heart [C#m] [D] [E7]

I pretend that I don't see
When you walk with him down the street
Only a fool breaks his own heart [D] [A] [A7]

[D] I have to [E] admit it
Even [C#m] though you hurt me [F#m] so girl
[D] I can't [E] forget it
[C] If I'm a man [E] I'd let you go

It's no use trying to hang on
To a love already gone
Only a fool breaks his own heart

---
Chicken Fried
I like a little [G] chicken fried,
cold beer on a [D] Friday night
windows down through the [C] countryside
with the radio [G] up [D]
well I've seen the sunrise, see the love in my woman's eyes
feel the touch of a precious child, and know a mother's love

Well [G] I was raised up beneath the [D] shade of a Georgia [C] pine
And that's [D] home you know
Sweet tea pecan pie and homemade wine
Where the peaches grow
And my house it's not much to talk about
but it's filled with love that's grown in southern ground

Well its funny how it`s the simple things in life that mean the most
Not where you live or the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes
There`s no dollar sign on a piece of mind this I`ve come to know
so if you agree, have a drink with me, raise you glasses for a toast
to a little bit of chicken fried...

I thank god for my life
And for the stars and stripes
May freedom forever fly, let it ring.
Salute the ones who died
The ones that give their lives so we don`t have to sacrifice
All the things we love
Like our chicken fried...

A Little Help From My Friends
[G] What would you [D] think if I [Am] sang out of tune,
Would you [D] stand up and walk out on [G] me.
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song,
And I'll try not to sing out of key.

I get [F] by with a little [C] help from my [G] friends,
I get high with a little help from my friends.
Gonna try with a little help from my friends.

What do I do when my love is away.
(Does it worry you to be alone)
How do I feel by the end of the day
(Are you sad because you're on your own),

No, i get by...

Do you [Em] need any-[A] body
I [G] need some-[F] body to [C] love.
Could it be anybody
I want somebody to love.

Would you believe in a love at first sight,
Yes I'm certain that it happens all the time.
What do you see when you turn out the light,
I can't tell you but I know its mine.

Kodachrome
When I think [D] back on all the [D7] crap I learned in [G] high school
[Em] It's a wonder, [A7] I can think at [D] all [Em] [A7]
And though my lack of education hasn't hurt me none
I can read the writing on the wall [D7]

Koda-[G] chro-[B7] o-[E] me
[E7] You give us those [Am] nice bright [D] colors
You give us the [G] greens of [C] summers
Makes you think [A] all the [D] world's a sunny [G] day, [B7] oh [E] yeah!
[E7] I got a [Am] Nikon [D] camera
I love to take a [G] photo-[C] graph
So Mama, don't [A] take my [D] Kodachrome [G] away [Bm] [Em] [A] [A7]

If you took all the girls I knew when I was single
And brought them all together for one night
I know they'd never match my sweet imagination
And everything looks worse in black and white

Mama, don't [G] take my [Bm] Kodachrome [Em] away [x3]


[G] Mama, don't take my Kodachrome
[Bm] Mama, don't take my Kodachrome
[Em] Mama, don't take my Kodachrome (away)

where trouble melts like lemon drops,
high above the chimney top, that's where you'll find me

oh, somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly,

And I [F] think to my-[G] self, what a [Am] wonderful [F] world!

Well, I see [C] skies of [Em] blue, and I see[F] ... clouds of [C] white,
And the [F] brightness of [C] day, [E7] I like the [Am] dark,
And I [F] think to [G] myself, what a [C] wonderful [F] world! [C]

The [G] colors of the rainbow, so [C] pretty in the sky,
Are [G] also on the faces of [C] people passing by,
I see [F] friends shaking [C] hands, saying, [F] "How do you [C] do?"
[F] They're really [C] saying, [Dm7] "I  ...I love [G] you!"

I hear [C] babies [Em] cry, and [F] I watch them [C] grow,
[F] They'll learn much [C] more, than [E7] we'll ever [Am] know,
And I [F] think to my-[G] self... what a wonderful [Am] wor - r- rld,

[F] Wor - r- rld!

Some-[C] day I'll wish upon a star,
[G] Wake up where the clouds are far be-[Am] hind...[F] me,
Where [C] trouble melts like lemon drops,
[G] High above the chimney top, that's [Am] where... you'll [F] find--- me!

Oh, [C] some-where [Em] over the rainbow, [F] way up [C] high,
[F] And... the...[C] dreams that you dare to...
[G] Why, oh, why can't [Am] I - I - I? [F] I - I - I!

[C] Oo----hoo! [Em] Oo---  oo, oo- oo! [F] Oo--- hoo- oo, [C] oo----!
[F] Oo----oo, [E7] oo... [Am] oo- oo! Oo, ah - ah, ay - er! [F] [C]

Stand By Me
when the [C] night has come [Am] and the land is dark
And the [F] moon is the [G] only light we'll [C] see

No I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh now now stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me

If the sky that we look upon, should tumble and fall
And the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh now now stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me

But [E] tonight, you be-[B7] long to [E] me

Although (although) we're apaaaaaart
You're a paaaaart of my heaaaaart
And tonight, you belong to me


Way [Am] down by the stream
How sweet it will seem
Once [E] more just to [F#] dream
in the [B7] moonlight, My honey

I know (I know) With the daaaaaawn
That you will be goooooone
But tonight, you belong to me

The Gambler
on a [G] warm summer's evening on a [C] train bound for [G] nowhere,
I [C] crossed paths with a [G] gambler, we were [C] both too tired to [D] sleep
So we [G] took turns staring out the [C] window at the [G] darkness
'til [C] boredom over-[G] took us, and [D] we began to [G] speak.

he said, "son, I've made a life out of reading people's faces
knowing what their cards was, by the way they held their eyes
so if you don't mind me saying, I can see you're out of aces
for a taste of your whiskey, I'll give you some advice"

so I handed him my bottle, and he drank down my last swallow
then he bummed a cigarette, and asked me for a light
and the night got deathly quiet, and his faced lost all expression
he said, "if you're gonna play the game, boy, better learn to play it right"

you've got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em
know when to walk away, know when to run
you never count your money, when you're sitting at the table
there'll be time enough for counting, when the dealing's done

(key change)
[A] every gambler knows, that the [D] secret to [A] surviving
is [D] knowing what to [A] throw away, and [D] knowing what to [E] keep
because [A] every hand's a winner, and [D] every hand's a [A] loser
and the [D] best that you can [A] hope for is to [E] die in your [A] sleep

And when he finished speaking, he turned back toward the window
crushed out his cigarette, and faded off to sleep
and somewhere in the darkness, the gambler he broke even
but in his final words, I found an ace that I could keep

Sovay
[C] We were getting ready to be a [G] threat, we were getting [F] set for my accidental suicide
the [C] kind where nobody [G] cries, and no one looks too sur-[F] prised we must realize

that we're riding on a high of success, but we're under stress like a complicated metaphor
and a feeling like we've been here before, like we've been here before, because we've been here be-

-fore, yes you've been here before
a word washed ashore
then a word washed ashore

[Am] so [E] vain, [F#m] so [G#m] vain
[Am] so [E] vain in [F] complicated ways

now that i'm ready to consider my next plan of attack
I think I'm gonna sack
the whole board of trustees
all those Don Quixotes with their B-17s
and I swear this time
yeah this time
they'll blow us back to the 70's
and this time
they're playin Ride of the Valkyries
with no semblance of grace or ease
and they're acting on vagaries
with their violent proclivities
and they're playing ride
Ride of the Valkyries
sovay, sovay, sovay
all along the day

Lightning Crashes
[C] lightning [G] crashes, a [D] new mother sighs
[C] all her appre-[G] hensions [D] fall to the floor

[C] the little [G] angel [D] opens her eyes
pale blue-colored [C] eyes
this is the [G] moment she's been waiting [D] for

lightning crashes, an old woman dies
all her intentions fall to the floor
the wizened angel closes her eyes
the confusion that was hers
now belongs to the baby down the hall
