101. Working Class Hero

John Lennon

Am G Am
As soon as you're born they make you feel small
Am G Am
By giving you no time instead of it all
Am G Am
'til the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
Am G Am
A working class hero is something to be
Am G D Am
A working class hero is something to be
 
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school 
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool 
'til youre so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules 
A working class hero is something to be 
A working class hero is something to be 
 
When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years 
Then they expect you to pick a career 
When you cant really function you're so full of fear 
A working class hero is something to be 
A working class hero is something to be 
 
Keep you doped with religion and sex and tv 
and you think you're so clever and classless and free 
But youre still fucking peasants as far as I can see 
A working class hero is something to be 
A working class hero is something to be 
 
There's room at the top they're telling you still 
but first you must learn to smile as you kill 
If you want to be like the folks on the hill 
A working class hero is something to be 
A working class hero is something to be 
 
Am G Am
If you want to be a hero well just follow me
Am G D Am
If you want to be a hero just follow me

102. Bring On The Lucie (Freda People)

John Lennon/Mind Games (1974)

E B A B A E
E B A B A E
We don't care what flag you're waving
We don't even want to know your name 
We don't care where you're from or where you're going 
All we know is that you came 
 
You're making all our decisions 
We just have one request of you 
That while you're thinking things over 
Here's something you just better do 
Free the people now! - Do it do it do it do it now! 
Free the people now! - Do it do it do it do it now! 
 
Well we were caught with our hands in the air 
Don't despair paranoia is everywhere 
We can shake it with our love when we're scared 
So let's shout it aloud like a prayer 
Free the people now! - Do it do it do it do it now! 
Free the people now! - Do it do it do it do it now! 
 
We understand your paranoia 
But we don't want to play your game 
You think you're cool and know what you're doing 
666 is your name 
 
So while you're jerking off each-other 
You better bear this thought in mind 
Your time is up, you better know it 
But maybe you don't read the signs 
Free the people now! - Do it do it do it do it now! 
Free the people now! - Do it do it do it do it now! 
 
Well you were caught with your hands in the kill 
And you still got to swallow your pill 
As you slip and slide down the hill 
On the blood of the people you killed 
Stop the killing now! - Do it do it do it do it now! 
Bring on the lucie ...

110. The Killing of Georgie (Part I and II)

Rod_Stewart

C Em
In these days of changing ways, so called liberated days
F C
A story comes to mind of a friend of mine...
C Em
Georgie boy was gay I guess, nothin' more or nothin' less
F C
The kindest guy I ever knew...
C Em
His mother's tears fell in vain, the afternoon George tried to explain
F C
That he needed love like all the rest
C Em
Pa said there must be a mistake, how can my son not be straight
F C
After all I've said and done for him?
C Em
Do do, da do do, da do do doo, do do, da do do, da do do doo
F C
Do do, da do do, da do do doo, doo do
 
C Em
Leavin' home on a Greyhound bus, cast out by the ones he loves
F C
A victim of these gay days it seems
Chorus
C Em
Georgie went to New York town, where he quickly settled down
F C
And soon became the toast of the great white way
C Em
Accepted by Manhattan's elite, in all the places that were chic
F C
No party was complete without George
C Em
Along the boulevards he'd cruise, and all the old queens blew a fuse
F C
Everybody loved Georgie boy
Chorus
C Em
The last time I saw George alive, was in the summer of seventy-five
F C
He said he was in love I said I'm pleased
C Em
George attended the opening night, of another Broadway hype
F C
but split before the final curtain fell
C Em
Deciding to take a short cut home, arm in arm they meant no wrong
F C
A gentle breeze blew down Fifth Avenue
Chorus
C Em
Out of a darkened side street came, a New Jersey gang with just one aim
F C
To roll some innocent passer-by
C Em
There ensued a fearful fight, screams rang out in the night
F C
Georgie's head hit a sidewalk cornerstone
C Em
A leather kid, a switchblade knife, he did not intend to take his life
F C
He just pushed his luck a little too far that night
C Em
The sight of blood dispersed the gang, a crowd gathered, the police came
F C
An ambulance screamed to a halt on Fifty-third and Third
 
C Em
Georgie's life ended there, but I ask who really cares?
F C
George once said to me and I quote
C Em
He said "Never wait or hesitate, Get in kid, before it's too late
F C
You may never get another chance
C Em
'Cos youth's a mask but it don't last, live it long and live it fast"
F C
Georgie was a friend of mine
 
Oh Georgie stay, don't go away Georgie please stay you take our breath away 
Oh Georgie stay, don't go away Georgie please stay you take our breath away 
Oh Georgie stay, don't go away Georgie, Georgie please stay you take our breath away 
Oh Georgie stay...

Where have all the young men gone, Long time ago? 
Where have all the young men gone? They're all in uniform; 
Oh, when will we ever learn, Oh, when will we ever learn? 
 

112. Sag mir, wo die Blumen sind

deutsche Version / Marlene Dietrich

 
Sag mir, wo die Blumen sind, Wo sind sie geblieben? 
Sag mir, wo die Blumen sind, Was ist gescheh'n? 
Sag mir, wo die Blumen sind, Mädchen pflückten sie geschwind. 
Wann wird man je versteh'n, Wann wird man je versteh'n? 
 
Sag mir, wo die Mädchen sind...Männer nahmen sie geschwind. Wann... 
Sag mir, wo die Männer sind...zogen fort, der Krieg beginnt. Wann... 
Sag, wo die Soldaten sind...über Gräbern weht der Wind. Wann... 
Sag mir, wo die Gräber sind...Blumen weh'n im Sommerwind. Wann...

A D A E A D A E
To everything, turn, turn, turn, There is a season, turn, turn, turn,

And a time for every purpose under heaven.

A time to be born, a time to die; A time to plant, a time to reap;

A time to kill, a time to heal; A time to laugh, a time to weep.
A E
To everything, turn, turn, turn, There is a season, turn, turn, turn,
D E7 A
And a time for every purpose under heaven.
 
A time to build up, a time to break down; A time to dance an time to mourn; 
A time to cast away stones, A time to gather stones together. 
To everything... 
 
A time of love, a time of hate; A time of war, a time of peace; 
A time you may embrace, A time to refrain from embracing. 
To everything... 
 
A time to gain, a time to lose; A time to rend a time to sew; 
A time to love, a time to hate; A time for peace, I swear it's not too late. 
To everything... 

115. If I had a Hammer

I’d ring it out love between my brothers and my sisters, 
ah all over this land. 
 
If I had a song, I’d sing it in the morning, 
I’d sing it in the evening all over this land. 
I’d sing it out danger, I’d sing it out a warning, 
I’d sing it out love between my brothers and my sisters, 
ah all over this land. 
 
Now I‘ve got a hammer, and I’ve got a bell, 
and I’ve got a song to sing all over this land. 
It’s a hammer of justice, it’s a bell of freedom, 
it’s a song about love between my brothers and my sisters, 
all over this land.

117. The Wizard

Mark Clarke, Ken Hensley / Uriah Heep: Demons and Wizards (1972)

D C G D
D C G D
He was the wizard of a thousand kings
D C G D
And I chanced to meet him one night wandering
C G C G
He told me tales and he drank my wine,
D C G D
Me and my magic man kinda feelin' fine.
 
He had a cloak of gold and eyes of fire, 
And as he spoke I felt a deep desire: 
To free the world of its fear and pain, 
And help the people to feel free again. 
 
Bridge
A G
Why don't we listen to the voices in our heart,
A G
Cause then I know we'd find we're not so far apart.
A G
Everybody's got to be happy, everyone should see,
A G
For we know the joy of life, what peace and love can bring.
 
So spoke the wizard in his moun-tain home 
The vision of his wisdom means we'll never be alone. 
And I will dream of my magic night 
And the million silver stars that guide me with their light.

120. Lady in Black

Hensley / Uriah Heep: Salisbury (1971)

Am
She came to me one morning, one lonely sunday morning,
G Am
Her long hair flowing in the mid-winter wind.
Am
I know not how she found me, for in darkness I was walking,
G Am
And destruction lay around me from a fight I could not win.
Am G Am G Am
Ahahaaa Haahah, Ahahaaa Haha Ha!
 
She asked me: "Name my foe then". I said: "The need within some men 
To fight and kill their brothers without thought of love or God". 
And I begged her give me horses to trample down my enemies, 
So eager was my passion to devour this waste of life. 
Ahahaaa Haahah, Ahahaaa Haha Ha! 
 
But she would not think of battle that reduces men to animals, 
So easy to begin and yet impossible to end. 
For she the mother of all men had counciled me so wisely that 
I feared to walk alone again and asked if she would stay. 
Ahahaaa Haahah, Ahahaaa Haha Ha! 
 
"Oh lady lend your hand," I cried, "Oh let me rest here at your side." 
"Have faith and trust in me," she said and filled my heart with life. 
There is no strength in numbers. I've no such misconception. 
But when you need me be assured I won't be far away. 
Ahahaaa Haahah, Ahahaaa Haha Ha! 
 
Thus having spoke she turned away and though I found no words to say 
I stood and watched until I saw her black cloak disappear. 
My labor is no easier, but now I know I'm not alone. 
I find new heart each time I think upon that windy day. 
And if one day she comes to you drink deeply from her words so wise. 
Take courage from her as your prize and say hello for me. 
Ahahaaa Haahah, Ahahaaa Haha Ha! 
Ahahaaa Haahah, Ahahaaa Haha Ha...

123. Horse With No Name

America

Em D6add9
On the first part of the journey
I was lookin at all the life 
There were plants and birds and rocks and things 
There were sand and hills and rings 
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz 
and the sky with no clouds 
the heat was hot and the ground was dry 
but the air was full of sound 
Em9 Dmaj9
I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
it felt good to be out of the rain 
in the desert you can remember your name 
'cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain 
la 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 fun 
I was looking at a river bed 
And the story it told of a river that flowed 
made me sad to think it was dead 
I've been through the desert ... 
 
After nine days I let the horse run free 
'cause the desert had turned to sea 
there were plants and birds and rocks and things 
there were sand and hills and rings 
The ocean is a desert with it's life underground 
and the perfect disguise above 
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground 
but the humans will give no love 
I've been through the desert ...

125. Hymn

Barclay James Harvest

E E4 A2 E E4
Valley’s deep and the mountains so high,
A2 E E4
if you want to see god you’ve got to move on the other side.
E E4 A2 E E4
You stand up there with your head in the clouds,
A2 E E4
don’t try to fly you know you might not come down.
A2 E E4
Don’t try to fly dear god you might not come down.
 
Jesus came down from heaven to earth. 
The people said it was a virgin birth. 
Jesus came down from heaven to earth. 
The people said it was a virgin birth. 
The people said it was a virgin birth 
 
He told great stories of the Lord 
and said he was the saviour of us all. 
He told great stories of the Lord 
and said he was the saviour of us all. 
and said he was the saviour of us all. 
 
For this we killed him, nailed him up high. 
He rose again as if to ask us why. 
Then he ascended into the sky. 
As if to say in god alone you soar. 
As if to say in god alone we fly. 
 
Valley’s deep and the mountains so high, 
if you want to see god you’ve got to move on the other side. 
You stand up there with your head in the clouds, 
don’t try to fly you know you might not come down. 
Don’t try to fly dear god you might not come down.

135. Hotel California

Felder, Henley & Frey / the Eagles

Bm F#
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair;
A E
Warm smell of colitas, rising through the air.
G D
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimering light.
Em F#
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim, I had to stop for the night.
 
Bm F#
There she stood in the doorway; I heard the mission bell,
A E
And I was thinking to myself: this could be heaven or this could be hell!
G D
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way;
Em F#
There were voices down the corridor; I thought I heard them say:
G D
"Welcome to the Hotel California!
F# Bm
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place), such a lovely face.
G D
Plenty of room at the Hotel California!
Em F#
Any time of year (any time of year), you can find it here."
 
Her mind is Tiffany twisted, she got the Mercedes Benz. 
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends. 
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat 
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget! 
 
So I called up the captain, "Please bring me my wine." He said: 
"We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty-nine." 
And still those voices are calling from far away, 
Wake you up in the middle of the night, just to hear them say: 
"Welcome to the Hotel California! 
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place), such a lovely face. 
They're livin' it up at the Hotel California; 
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise), bring your alibis-" 
 
Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne on ice, and she said: 
"We are all just prisoners here, of our own device." 
And in the master's chambers, they gathered for the feast. 
They stab it with their steely knives - but they just can't kill the beast! 
 
Last thing I remember, I was running for the door. 
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before. 
"Relax," said the night man, "We are programmed to receive. 
You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave!" 
"Welcome to the Hotel California! 
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place), such a lovely face. 
They're livin' it up at the Hotel California; 
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise), bring your alibis-"

All dressed in satin

And wating by the door...

Oooh, what a lucky man he was!
 
White lace and feathers 
They made up his bed 
A gold covered mattress 
On which he was laid 
Oooh, what a lucky man he was! 
Oooh, what a lucky man he was! 
 
He went to fight wars 
For his country and his king 
Of his honor and his glory 
The people would sing 
Oooh, what a lucky man he was! 
Oooh, what a lucky man he was! 
 
A bullet had found him 
His blood ran as he cried 
No money could save him 
So he laid down and he died 
Oooh, what a lucky man he was! 
Oooh, what a lucky man he was!

141. Alice's Restaurant

Arlo Guthrie

This song is called Alice's Restaurant. 
It's about Alice, and the restaurant, but Alice's Restaurant 
is not the name of the restaurant, that's just the name of the song. 
That's why I called the song Alice's Restaurant.

You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant 
You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant 
Walk right in it's around the back 
Just a half a mile from the railroad track 
You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant 
Now it all started two Thanksgivings ago - that's two years ago 
on Thanksgiving when my friend and I went up to visit Alice 
at the restaurant but Alice doesn't live in the restaurant, she lives 
in the church nearby the restaurant, in the bell-tower, with her husband Ray 
and Fasha the dog. And livin' in the bell tower since they took out 
all the pews, they got a lot 'a room downstairs where the pews used to be in 
and havin all that room, seen as they took out all the pews, they decided 
that they didn't have to take out their garbage for a long time. 
 
We got up there, found all the garbage, and we figured it'd be a friendly 
gesture for us to take the garbage down to the city dump. 
So we took the half a ton of garbage and put it in the back of 
a red VW microbus, took shovel's and rakes and implements of 
destruction and headed on toward the city dump. Well we got there and 
there was a big sign and a chain across saying closed on Thanksgiving. 
We'd never heard of a dump closed on thanksgiving before, and with 
tears in our eyes we drove off into the sunset looking for another 
place to put the garbage. 
 
We didn't find one. Until we came to a side road, and off the 
side of the side road there was another fifteen foot cliff and at the 
bottom of the cliff there was another pile of garbage. And we decided 
one big pile is better than two little piles, and rather than bring 
that one up we decided to throw our's down. 
 
That's what we did, and drove back to the church, had a 
thanksgiving dinner that couldn't be beat, went to sleep and didn't 
get up until the next morning, when we got a phone call from officer 
Obie. Said "Kid, we found your name on an envelope at the bottom of a 
half a ton of garbage, and just wanted to know if you had any 
information bout it". I said "Yes Sir Officer Obie, I cannot tell a 
lie, I put that envelope under that garbage." 
 
After speaking to Obie for about fourty-five minutes on the telephone 
we finally came to the truth of the matter and said that we had to go down 
and pick up the garbage, and also had to go down and speak to him 
at the police officer's station, so we got in the red VW microbus 
with the shovels and rakes and implements of destruction and 
headed on to the police officer's station. 
 
Now friends,there was only one or two things Obie could a done 
at the police station and the first was he could have given us a medal 
for being so brave and honest on the telephone, which wasn't very 
likely,and we didn't expect it , and the other thing was he could have 
bawled us out and told us never to be see driving garbage about the 
vicinity again, which is what we expected, but when we got to the 
police officer's station there was a third possibility that we hadn't 
counted upon, and we was both imediately arrested, handcuffed, and I 
said "Obie, I don't think I can pick up the garbage with these handcuffs on." 
He said "Shutup kid. Get in the back of the patrol car". 
 
And that's what we did, sat in the back of the patrol car and 
drove to the - quote - Scene of the crime - unquote. I won't tell you about 
the town of Stockbridge Massachusets where this is all happened here, 
they got three stop signs, two police officers, and one police car, but 
when we got to the 'Scene of the crime' there was five police officers 
and three police cars, being the biggest crime of the last fifty 
years, and everybody wanted to get in the newspaper story about it. 
And they was using up all kinds of cop equipment they had hanging 
around the police officer's station. They was taking plastic tyre 
track, foot prints, dog smelling prints, and they took twenty seven 
eight-by-ten colour glossy photographs with circles and arrows and a 
paragraph on the back of each one explaining what each one was to be 
used in evidence against us. They took picture's of the approach, 
the getaway, the northwest corner the southwest corner and that's not 
to mention the aerial photography. 
 
After the ordeal, we went back to the jail, Obie said he was going to 
put us in the cell said "Kid,I'm going to put you in the cell, I want 
your wallet and your belt." I said "Obie, I can understand you 
wanting my wallet so I don't have any money to spend in the cell, but 
why do you want my belt?" and he said "Kid,we don't want any 
hangings!" I said "Obie, did you think I was going to hang myself for 
littering?" Obie said he was making sure, and friends Obie was, cause 
he took out the toilet seat so I couldn't hit myself over the head and 
drown, and he took out the toilet paper so I couldn't bend the bars, 
throw out the roll of toilet paper out the window, slide down the roll 
and have an escape. Obie was making sure, and it was about four or five 
hours later that Alice, (remember Alice? This is a song about Alice), 
Alice came by and with a few nasty words to Obie on the said, bailed 
us out of jail, and we went back to the church, had a another 
thanksgiving dinner that couldn't be beat, and didn't get up until the 
next morning, when we all had to go to court. 
 
We walked in, sat down, Obie came in with the twenty-seven eight-by-ten 
colour glossy photographs with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the 
back of each one, sat down. Man came in, said: All rise. We stood up, 
and Obie stood up with the twenty-seven eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures 
and the judge walked in sat down with the seeing eye dog, and he sat down, 
we sat down. Obie looked at the seeing eye dog, and then at the twenty-seven 
eight-by-ten colour glossy photographs with circles and arrows and a paragraph 
on the back of each one, and looked at the seeing eye dog.And then at 
twenty-seven eight-by-ten colour glossy photographs with circles and 
arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one and began to cry, cause 
Obie had cometo the realisation that this was a typical case of American 
blind justice,and there wasn't nothing he could do about it, and the judge 
wasn't going to look at the twenty-seven eight-by-ten colour glossy 
photographs with the circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of 
each one explaining what each one was to be used in evidence against us. 
And we was fined fivty dollars and had to pick up the garbage in the snow, 
but thats not what I came to tell you about. 
Came to talk about the draft.
We got a building down New York City, it's called Whitehall street, 
where you get injected, inspected, detected infected negleced and selected. 
I went down and got my physical examination one day, and I walked in, 
sat down, got good and drunk the night before, so I looked and felt my 
best when I went in that morning. 'Cause I wanted to look like the all 
American kid from New York City, mean I had to feel like the, I wanted to 
BE the all American kid from New York, and I walked in and I was 
hungdown, brungdown, hungup, and all kinds o' mean nasty ugly things. 
And I walked in and sat down and they gave me a pice of paper said 
"Kid, see the phsychiatrist, room sixhundred-four." 
 
I went up there said "Shrink, I want to kill, I wanna I wanna kill. KILL. 
I wanna, I wanna see blood and gore and guts and veins in my teeth. 
Eat dead burnt bodies. I mean kill, Kill, KILL, KILL." and I started 
jumpin' up and down yelling "KILL, KILL," and he started jumpin' up 
and down with me and we was both jumping up and down yelling "KILL, 
KILL". And the seargent came over, pinned a medal on me, sent me down the 
hall, said "you're our boy". 
Didn't feel too good about it.
Proceded on down the hall gettin all sorts of injections, inspections, 
detections, neglections and all kinds of stuff that they was doin' to 
me at the thing there, and I was there two hours, three hours, four 
hours! I was there for a long time going through all kind's of mean 
nasty ugly things and I was just having a tough time there and they 
was inspecting injecting every single part of me, and they was leaving 
no part untouched. Proceeded through. And when I finally came to the 
see the last man, I walked in, walked in sat down after a whole big 
thing there, I walked up and said "what do you want?" - "Kid, we only 
got one question. Have you ever been arrested?" 
 
And I proceeded to tell him the story of Alice's Restaurant Massacree, 
with full orchestration and five part harmony and stuff like that and 
suddenly he stopped me right there and said "Kid,did you ever go to court?" 
 
I proceeded to tell him the story of the twenty-seven eight-by-ten colour 
glossy pictures with the circles and arrows and the paragraph on the back 
of each one, and he stoped me right there and said "Kid, I want you to go 
and sit down on that bench that says 'Group W' - - NOW kid!" 
 
And I walked over to the bench there, and there's Group W, which is 
where they put you if you may not be moral enough to join the army 
after committing your special crime, and there was all kinds of mean 
nasty ugly looking people on the bench there. Mother rapers. Father 
stabbers. Father rapers! Father rapers sitting right there on the 
bench next to me! And they was mean and nasty and ugly and horrible 
crime-type guys sitting bench next to me. And the meanest nastyest 
uglyest one, the meanest father raper of them all, was coming over to 
me and he was mean 'n' nasty 'n' ugly 'n' horrible and all kind of 
things and he sat down next to me and said "Kid, what ya get?". I 
said "I didn't get nothing, I had to pay fivty dollars and pick up the 
garbage.". He said "What were you arrested for?" and I said "Littering". 
And they all moved away from me on the bench there,and a hairy eyeball 
and all kinds of mean nasty things, till I said "And creating a 
nuisance." They all came back, shook my hand, and we had a great time 
on the bench, talkin about crime, mother stabbing, father raping all 
kinds of groovy things that we was talking about on the bench. And 
everything was fine, we was smoking cigarettes and all kinds of things, 
until the seargent came over, had some paper in his hand said. 
 
"Kids,this-piece-of-paper's-got-47-words-37-sentences-58-lines 
we-wanna-know-details-of-the-crime-time-of-the-crime-all-the-things 
you-gotta-say-things-about-the-crime-arresting-officer's-name-all-the 
things-you-gotta-say", and talked for fourty-five minutes and nobody 
understood a word that he said, but we had fun filling out the form 
and playing with the pencils on the bench there, and I filled out the 
massacre with the four part harmony, wrote it down there, just like it 
was, and I put down the pencil,and turned over the piece of paper, and 
there there on the other side. In the middle of the other side. 
Away from everything else on the other side. In parentheses. 
Capital letters. Quotated. Read the following words: 
"Kid, have you rehabilitated yourself?"
I went over to the the seargent, said "Seargent, you got a lot a damn' 
gall to ask me if I've rehabilitated myself, I mean, I mean I'm just 
sittin' here, sittin' on the Group W bench cause you want to know 
if I'm moral enough join the army to burn women, kids, houses, and 
villages after bein' a litterbug." He looked at me said "Kid,we don't 
like your kind, and we're gonna send your fingerprints off to 
Washington." 
 
And friends, somewhere in Washington enshrined in some little 
folder, is a study in black and white of my fingerprints. And the 
only reason I'm singing you this song now is cause you may know 
somebody in a similar situation, or you may be in a similar 
situation,and if your in a situation like that there's only one thing 
you can do and that's: walk into the shrink whereever you are, just 
walk in, say "Shrink, You can get anything you want, at Alice's 
restaurant." And walk out. You know,if one person, just one person 
does it they may think he's really sick and won't take him. And if 
two people, two people do it, in harmony, they may think they're both 
faggots and they won't take either of them. And if three people, three, 
can you imagine, three people walking in, singin' a bar of Alice's 
Restaurant and walking out. They may think it's an organization. And 
can you imagine fifty people a day, I said fifty people a day walking 
in, singin' a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out. And friends, 
they may thinks it's a movement. 
 
And that's what it is, the Alice's Restaurant Anti-Massacree Movement, 
and all you got to do to join is sing it the next time it come's around 
on the guitar. With feeling. So we'll wait for it to come around on the 
guitar, here, and sing it when it does. Here it comes. 
You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant. 
You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant. 
Walk right in it's around the back, 
Just a half a mile from the railroad track, 
You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant. 
That was horrible. If you want to end war and stuff you got to sing loud. 
I've been singing this song now for twenty five minutes. I could sing it 
for another twenty five minutes. I'm not proud ... or tired. 
So we'll wait till it comes around again, and this time with four part 
harmony and feeling. 
We're just waitin' for it to come around is what we're doing. 
All right now. 
You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant - "Excepting Alice" 
You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant 
Walk right in it's around the back, 
Just a half a mile from the railroad track, 
You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant 
At Alice's Restaurant.

142. This Land is Your Land

Woody Guthrie

D G D
This land is your land, this land is my land,
A7 D
From California to the New York Island,
G D
From the Redwood Forests to the Gulf Stream waters;
A7 D
This land was made for you and me.
 
As I was walking that ribbon of highway, 
I looked above me, there in the skyway, 
I saw below me, the Golden Valley; 
This land was made for you and me. 
This land is your land, this land is my land, 
From California to the New York Island, 
G
From the Redwood Forests to the Gulf Stream waters;
This land was made for you and me. 
 
I roamed and rambled, and followed my footsteps 
Through the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts, 
And all around me this voice kept saying: 
"This land was made for you and me". 
This land is your land, this land is my land, 
From California to the New York Island, 
G
From the Redwood Forests to the Gulf Stream waters;
This land was made for you and me. 
 
As the Sun was shining, and I was strolling 
Through the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling, 
I could feel inside me and see all around me, 
This land was made for you and me. 
This land is your land, this land is my land, 
From California to the New York Island, 
G
From the Redwood Forests to the Gulf Stream waters;
This land was made for you and me.

149. Ghost Riders In The Sky

Stan Jones / Johnny Cash: Silver (1979)

Am C
An old cowboy went ridin' out one dark and windy day.
Am C
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way.
Am
When all at once a mighty herd of red eyed cows he saw:
F Am
Plowin' through the ragged skies, and up a cloudy draw.
 
Am C
Their brands were still on fire and their hoofs were made of steel.
Am C
Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel.
Am
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky;
F
For he saw the riders comin' hard, and he heard their mournful cry:
Am C Am C F Am
Yippie-I-ay, yippie-I-oh -- The ghost riders in the sky!
solo
Am C
Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their shirts all soaked with sweat.
Am C
He's ridin' hard to catch that herd, but he ain't caught 'em yet'.
Am
'Cause they got to ride forever on that range up in the sky,
F Am
On horses snorting fire as they ride on hear their cry!
 
Am C
As the riders loped on by him he heard one call his name:
Am C
"If you wanna to save your soul from hell a-ridin' on our range,
Am
Then cowboy change your ways today, or with us you will ride,
F Am
Tryin' to catch the devil's herd across these endless skies!"
Yippie-I-ay, yippie-I-oh - Ghost riders in the sky (3x)...
