I close my eyes, only for a moment, and the moment’s gone.
G/B C G/B Am G Dm7 Am
All my dreams pass before my eyes a curiosity
D/F# G Am Am/G D/F# G Am
Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind
 
Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea. 
All we do crumbles to the ground though we refuse to see 
Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind

Dust - in the wind, Ev’rything is Dust in the wind 
Dust - in the wind, Ev’rything is Dust in the wind 
Dust - in the wind, Ev’rything is Dust in the wind

C Am F G C
When the night is cold, and the land is dark 
And the moon is the only light we'll see.

So darling, darling, stand by me. Oh, stand by me.

And the mountains should tumble to the sea. 
 
I won't cry, I won't cry. Oh I won't shed a tear, 
Just as long as you stand stand by me. 
So darling, darling, stand by me. Oh, stand by me. 
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me.

154. Me and Bobby McGee

Kris Kristofferson / Janis Joplin

Intro
G
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headin' for the trains,
D7
feelin' nearly faded as my jeans.
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rains, 
G
Took us all the way to New Orleans.
 
I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana 
G7 C
And was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues.
C G
With them Windshield wipers slappin' time, and Bobby clappin' hands we finely
D7 G
sang up every song that driver knew.
C G
Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose.
D7 G
Nothing ain't worth nothing but it's free.
C G
Feeling good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues.
D7
Feeling good was good enough for me,
G A
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee.
 
From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun 
E7
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul.
Standin' right beside me, Lord, through everything I've done, 
A
Every Night she kept me from the cold.
 
A
Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord, I let her slip away;
A7 D
Lookin' for the home and I hope she'll find!
A
And I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday,
E7 A
Holding Bobby's body close to mine.
D A
Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose.
E7 A
Nothing ain't worth nothing, But it's free.
 
Feeling good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues. 
Feeling good was good enough for me, 
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee.

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold and she's buying a stairway to heaven.

When she get's there she knows if the stores are all closed
Fmaj7 G Am Am/H C D Fmaj7 Am
With a word she can get what she came for - ooh ooh ooh ooh

There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure,
C D G Fmaj7
cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
Am G#+ C D
In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings,
Fmaj7 G Am Am G#+ C D Fmaj7 G Am
sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.

There's a feeling I get when I look to the west, And my spirit is crying for leaving.
C G Am C G D Am
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees, And the voices of those who stand looking.
Am7Am Dsus4 D Am7 Am D6 D C D Am7 Am Dsus4 D
Oh it makes me wonder oh, makes me wonder
and it whispert that soon, if we all call the tune, Than the piper will lead us to reason. 
And a new day will dawn - for those who stand long, And the forrests will echo with laughter. 
Oh it makes me wonder oh oh 
If there's a bustle in your hedgerow - Don't be alarmed now, It's just a spring clean for the may-queen. 
Yes there are two paths you can go by - But in the long run, It's still time to change the road you're on. 
Oh it makes me wonder oh oh 
Your head is hummin' and it won't go in a case, you don't know, The piper's calling you to join him. 
Dear lady can you hear the wind blow and did you know, Your stairway lies on the whispering wind. 
|: |: D2 D D4 :| :| F G Am
Am G F G F G
And as we wind on down the road Our shadows taller than our soul.
There walks a lady we all know, Who shines white light and wants to show, 
How everything still turn to gold. 
And if you listen very hard, The tune will come to you at last. 
when all are one and one is all, to be a rock and not a roll. 
Fmaj7 Am
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

Why man, this is war au-go-go 
There's plenty good money to be made 
By supplying the Army with the tools of its trade, 
But just hope and pray that if they drop the bomb, 
They drop it on the Viet Cong. 
And it's one, two, three.. 
Well, come on generals, let's move fast; 
Your big chance has come at last. 
Now you can go out and get those reds 
'Cause the only good commie is the one that's dead 
And you know that peace can only be won 
When we've blown 'em all to kingdom come. 
And it's one, two, three.. 
Come on mothers throughout the land, 
Pack your boys off to Vietnam. 
Come on fathers, and don't hesitate 
To send your sons off before it's too late. 
And you can be the first ones in your block 
To have your boy come home in a box. 
And it's one, two, three..

D G A7 D G A7
The eastern world it is explodin', violence flarin', bullets loadin'.
D G A7
You're old enough to kill but not for votin',
D G A7
You don't believe in war, what's that gun you're totin',
D G A7
And even the Jordan river has bodies floatin',
A7 D G A7 D Bm
But you tell me over and over and over again my friend,
G A7 D D D11 D9 D D11 D9 D9
ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction. / / / / / / / / / /
 
Don't you understand, what I'm trying to say? Can't you see the fear that I'm feeling today? 
If the button is pushed, there's no running away, 
There'll be noone to save with the world in a grave, 
take a look around you, boy, it's bound to scare you, boy: 
But you tell me over and over and over again my friend, 
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction. 
 
Yeah, my blood's so mad, feels like coagulatin', I'm sittin' here, just contemplatin'. 
I can't twist the truth, it knows no regulation, Handful of Senators don't pass legislation. 
And marches alone can't bring integration, when human respect is disintegratin', 
this whole crazy world is just too frustratin': 
And you tell me over and over and over again my friend, 
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction. 
 
Think of all the hate there is in Red China! Then take a look around to Selma, Alabama! 
Ah, you may leave here, for four days in space, But when you return, it's the same old place. 
The poundin' of the drums, the pride and disgrace, 
You can bury your dead, but don't leave a trace. 
Hate your next-door-neighbour, but don't forget to say grace: 
And you tell me over and over and over again my friend, 
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.

168. American Pie

Don McLean

Em D Em Am C Em D
A long, long time ago, I can still remember how that music used to make me smile.
G D Em Am C
And I knew if I had my chance that I could make those people dance
Em C D7 Em Am Em Am
and maybe they'd be happy for a while. But February made me shiver with every paper I'd deliver.
D G Am C D7 G D Em
Bad news on the doorstep. I couldn't take one more step. I can't remember if I cried,
Am7 D G D Em
when I read about his widowed bride, but something touched me deep inside the
C D7 G C D
day the music died.
G C G D G C G D
So bye bye Miss American Pie. Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry,
G C G D Em A7 Em D7
them good ole boys were drinkin' whiskey and Rye, singing this'll be the day that I die, this'll be the day that I die.
 
G Am C Am
Did you write the book of love and do you have faith in God above?
Em D7 G D Em
If the Bible tells you so, now do you believe in rock and roll?
Am C Em A7 D7
Can music save your mortal soul, and can you teach me how to dance real slow?
Em D Em D
Well I know that you're in love with him. 'Cause I saw you dancing in the gym.
C G A7 C D7
You both kicked off your shoes, man I dig those rhythm and blues!
G D Em Am C
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck, with a pink carnation and a pick up truck.
G D Em C D7 G C D
But I knew I was out of luck! The day the music died.
G D7
I started singing
Bye bye Miss American Pie... 
 
Now for ten years, we've been on our own and moss grows fat on a rolling stone, 
but that's not how it used to be when the jester sang for King and Queen 
in a coat he'd borrowed from James Dean and a voice that came from you and me 
oh and while the King was looking down the jester stole his thorny crown 
the courtroom was adjourned no verdict was returned. 
And while Lenin read a book of Marx the quartett practiced in the park 
and we sang dirges in the dark the day the music died. 
We were singin' 
Bye bye Miss American Pie... 
Helter skelter in the summer swelter the birds flew off with a fallout shelter 
eight miles high and falling fast as it landed on the grass. 
The players tried for a forward pass with the jester on the sidelines in a cast 
Now the half time air was sweet perfume while the sergeants played a marching tune. 
We all got up to dance oh but we never got the chance. 
Oh as the players tried to take the field, the marching band refused to yield. 
Do you recall what was revealed, the day the musik died. 
We started singin' 
Bye bye Miss American Pie... 
 
And there we were all in one a place, the generation lost in space, 
with no time left to start again. So come on, Jack be nimble, Jack be quick 
Jack Flash sat on a candle stick, 'cos fire is the devils only friend. 
Oh and as I watched him on the stage my hands were clenched in first of rage. 
No angel born in hell could break that satan spell. 
And as the flames climbed high into the night to light the sacrificial rite 
I saw Satan laughing with delight, the day the music died. 
He was singin' 
Bye bye Miss American Pie... 
 
I met a girl who sang the blues and I asked her for some happy news, 
but she just smiled and turned away. I went down to the sacred store, 
where I heard the music years before, but the man there said the music wouldn't play. 
And in the streets the children screamed, the lovers cried and the poets dreamed. 
But not a word was spoken. The church bells are well broken. 
And the three men I admire most: The Father, son and the holy ghost, 
they caught the last train for the coast, the day the music died. 
And they were singin' 
Bye bye Miss American Pie... (repeat) 

169. Vincent

Don Mc Lean

G Gsus4 G Am
Starry Starry night Paint your pallete blue and grey
C D7 G
Look out on a summers day with eyes that know the darkness in my soul.
Gsus4 G Am
Shadows on the hills Sketch the trees and the daffodils
C D7 G
Catch the breeze and the winter chill In colors on the snowy linen land.
C G Am D7 G Em
Now I understand what you tried to say to me
Am7 D7 Em
How you suffered for your sanity How you tried to set them free!
A7 Am7 D7 G
They would not listen, they did not know how, perhaps they 'll listen now!
 
Starry starry night, Flaming flower's that brightly blaze, 
Swirling clouds in violet haze, Reflect in Vincents eyes of china blue. 
Colors changing hue, Morning fields of amber graing, 
Weathered faces lined in pain Are soothed beneath the artists loving hand. 
C G Am D7 G Em
Now I understand what you tried to say to me,
Am7 D7 Em
How you suffered for your sanity, How you tried to set them free!
A7 Am7 D7 G
They would not listen, they did not know how, perhaps they 'll listen now!
Bridge
G Am7 D7 G
For the could not love you but still your love was true
Em Am7 Cm6
And when no hope was left in sight on that starry starry nite
G F7 E7 Am7
You took you life as lovers often do But I could of told you Vinvent
C D7 G
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you
 
Starry starry night portraits hung in empty halls 
frameless heads on nameless walls with eyes that watch the world and can't forget 
Like the strangers that youve met, the ragged men in ragged clothes 
The silver thorn and the bloody rose Lire crushed and broken on the virgin snow 
C G Am D7 G Em
And now I think I know, what you tried to say to me,
Am7 D7 Em
How you suffered for your sanity, How you tried to set them free!
A7 Am7 D7
They would not listen, They're not listening still, Perhaps they never will!

170. Streets of London

Ralph McTell

C G Am Em
Have you seen the old man in the closed down market,
F C D7 G7
kicking up the paper with his worn out shoes.
C G Am Em
In his eyes you see no pride, hand held loosely at his side,
F C G C
Yestedrays paper telling yesterdays news.
F Em C Am D7 G G7
So how can you tell me you're lo-one-ly - And say for you that the sun don't shine.
C G Am Em
Let me take you by the hand - And lead you through the streets of London:
F C G7 C
I'll show you something to make to change your mind.
 
Have you seen the old girl who walks the streets of London, 
Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags. 
She's no time for talkin' she just keep right on walking, 
Carrying her home in two carrier bags. 
So how can you tell me you're lonely - And say for you that the sun don't shine. 
Let me take you by the hand - And lead you through the streets of London: 
I'll show you something to make to change your mind. 
 
In the allnight cafe at a quarter past eleven, 
the same old man sitting there on his own. 
Looking at the world over the rim of his tea cup, 
Each tea lasts an hour and he wanders home alone. 
So how can you tell me you're lonely - Don't say for you that the sun don't shine. 
Let me take you by the hand - And lead you through the streets of London: 
I'll show you something to make to change your mind. 
 
Have you seen the old man, outside the seaman's mission, 
memory fading with the medal ribbons that he wears. 
In our winter city the rain cries a little pity 
For one more forgotten hero and a world that doesn't care. 
So how can you tell me you're lonely - And say for you that the sun don't shine. 
Let me take you by the hand - And lead you through the streets of London: 
I'll show you something to make to change your mind.

173. Always Look on the Bright Side of Life

Monty Python

Am D7 G Em
Some things in life are bad - they can really make you mad.
Am D7 G Em
Other things just make you swear and curse.
Am D7 G Em
When you're chewing on large gristle - don't grumble - give a whistle
A7 D
And whistles help things turn out for the best:
G Em Am D7 G Em Am D7
And always look at the bright side of life (whistle)
G Em Am D7 G Em Am D7
Always look on the light side of life (whistle)
 
Am D7 G Em
If life seems jolly rotten - there's something you've forgotten
Am D7 G Em
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing!
Am D7 G Em
When you're feeling in the dumps - don't be silly chums
A7 D
Just purse your lips and whistle that's the thing:
G Em Am D7 G Em Am D7
And always look at the bright side of life (whistle)
G Em Am D7 G Em Am D7
Come on, Always look on the bright side of life (whistle)
 
Am D7 G Em
For life is quite absurd - and death's the final word
Am D7 G Em
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
Am D7 G Em
Forget about your sin - give the audience a grin
A7 D
Enjoy it's your last chance anyhow:
G Em Am D7 G Em Am D7
So always look on the bright side of death (whistle)
G Em Am D7 G Em Am D7
Just before you draw your terminal breath. (whistle)
 
Am D7 G Em
Life's a piece of shit - when you look at it,
Am D7 G Em
Life's a laugh and death's a joke - it's true!
Am D7 G Em
You see it's all a show - keep 'em laughing as you go;
A7 D7
Just remember that the last laugh is on you:
G Em Am D7 G Em Am D7
And always look at the bright side of life (whistle)
G Em Am D7 G Em Am D7
Always look on the right side of life (whistle)
spoken: "Come on guys, cheer up!"
A F# Bm E7 A F# Bm E7
Always look on the right side of life (whistle)...

I sleep all night and I work all day
E A
he's a lumberjack and he's okay

I cut down trees, I skip and jump
B E
I like to press wildflowers

And hang around in bars
 
I cut down trees I wear high heels Suspendies and a bra 
I wish I'd been a girlie just like my dear papa

If her daddie’s rich take her out for a meal. 
If her daddie’s poor just do what you feel. 
Speed along the lane, do a ton, or a ton a twentyfive. 
When the sun goes down you can make it, make it good in a lay-by. 
 
We’re not grey people we’re not dirty, we’re not mean. 
We love everybody, but we do as we please. 
When the weather’s fine we go fishing, or go swimming in the sea. 
We’re always happy, life’s for living, and that's our philosophy. 
Sing along with us, dee dee dee dee dee - da da da da da yeah we’re hap- happy, da da da da da...

If she’s rich, if she’s nice, bring your friends, an‘ we’ll all go into town!

179. Those Were The Days

Gene Raskin

Am Am7
Once upon a time there was a tavern,
A7 Dm
where we used to raise a glass or two.
Am7
Remember how we laughed away the hours,
B7 E
and dreamed of all the great things we would do.
Am Dm
Those were the days, my friend, we thought they'd never end,
G G7 C
we'd sing and dance for ever and a day;
Dm Am
We'd live the life we choose, we'd fight and never loose,
E7 Am
For we were young, and sure to have our way.
A7 Dm
La la la la la la la la la la la la
E7 Am
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days.
 
Then the busy years went rushing by us. 
We lost our starty notions on the way. 
If by chance I'd see you in the tavern, 
we'd smiled at one another, and we'd say: 
repeat chorus
 
Just tonight I stood before the tavern. 
Nothing seemed the way it used to be. 
In the glass I saw a strange reflection, 
was that lonley woman really me? 
repeat chorus
 
Through the door there came familiar laughter. 
I saw your face and heard you call my name. 
Oh, my friend, we're older, but no wiser. 
For in our hearts the dream are still the same. 
repeat chorus

180. Sitting on the Dock of the Bay

Otis Redding

G G B C B Bb A
/ / / / Sitting in the morning sun - I'll be sitting when the evening comes
G B C B Bb A
Watching the ships roll in - And I watch 'em roll away again
G E7 G E7
Sitting on the dock of the bay - Watching the tide roll away
G A7 G E7
I'm just sitting on the dock of the bay - Wasting time
 
G B C B Bb A
I left my home in Georgia - Headed for the 'Frisco bay
G E C B Bb A
'Cause I had nothin to live for - And look like nothing's gonna come my way!
So I'm just 
Sitting on the dock of the bay wasting time. 
 
G D C7
Look like nothing's gonna change
G D C7
Everything still remains the same
G D C7 G
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
F D
So I guess I'll remain the same
 
G B C B Bb A
Sittin here resting my bones - And this loneliness won't leave me alone
G B C B Bb A
It's two thousand miles I roamed - Just to make this dock my a-home
Now, I'm just 
Sitting on the dock of the bay wasting time. 

181. Evil Way

Santana

F G
 
You've got to change your evil ways, baby, 
before I stop lovin' you. 
You've got to change, baby, 
and every word that I say is true. 
You got me runnin' and hidin' all over town, 
you got me sneakin' and a-peepin' and runnin' you down. 
A Dm
This can't go on, Lord knows you got to change, baby.
 
When I come home, baby, 
my house is dark and my pots are cold. 
You're hangin' round, baby, 
with Jean and Joan and-a who knows who. 
I'm gettin' tried of waitin' and foolin' around, 
I'll find somebody who won't make me feel like a clown. 
A Dm
This can't go on, Lord knows you got to change, baby.

And a friend of Sacha Distel

But where do you go to my lovely
F G
When you're alone in your bed
C Em
Tell me the thoughts that surround you
F G G/F G/E G/D
I want to look inside your head
 
I've seen all your qualifications 
You got from the Sorbonne 
And the painting you stole from Picasso 
Your loveliness goes on and on, yes it does 
When you go on your summer vacation 
You go to Juan-les-Pines 
With your carefully designed topless swimsuit 
You get an even suntan, on your back and on your legs 
 
When the snow falls you're found in St. Moritz 
With the others of the jet-set 
And you sip your Napoleon Brandy 
But you never get your lips wet 
But where do you go to.. 
 
Your name is heard in high places 
You know the Aga Khan 
He sent you a racehorse for christmas 
And you keep it just for fun, for a laugh ha-ha 
 
They say that when you get married 
It'll be to a millionaire 
But they don't realize where you came from 
And I wonder if they really care, they give a damn 
But where do you go to.. 
 
I remember the back streets of Naples 
Two children begging in rags 
Both touched with a burning ambition 
To shake off their lowly brown tags, yes they try 
 
So look into my face Marie-Claire 
And remember just who you are 
Then go and forget me forever 
'Cause I know you still bear the scar, deep inside, yes you do 
I know where you go to my lovely 
When you're alone in your bed 
I know the thoughts that surround you 
'Cause I can look inside your head

184. The Boxer

Paul Simon / Simon & Garfunkel: Bridge Over Troubled Water (1969)

C Am
I am just a poor boy though my story's seldom told,
G Dm G C
I have squandered my resistance - For a pocket full of mumbles, such are promises.
Am G F
All lies and jest, still a man hears what he wants to hear,
C G F C
And disregards the rest. (hm-hm hm, hm -hm hm-hm hm-hm hm)
 
C Am G
When I left my home and my family, I was no more than a boy - In the company of strangers,
Dm G C
In the quiet of a railway station, running scared,
Am G F
Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters -
C G F C
Where the ragged people go, Looking for the places only they would know.
Am G Am

I'd like to help you in your struggle to be free; there must be fifty ways to leave your lover."

She said, "It's really not my habit to intrude; Furthermore I hope my meaning won't be lost or misconstrued.

But I repeat myself at the risk of being crude:

"There must be fifty ways to leave your lover. Fifty ways to leave your lover."

187. Far Far Away

Slade

Am G Am G Am G Am
Am G Am G
I've seen the yellow lights go down the Mississippi
Am G Am G
I've seen the bridges of the world and they are for real
F G C C2 C
I've had a red light off the wrist without me even getting kissed,
F G
it still seems so unreal.
 
I've seen the morning in the mountains of Alaska, 
I've seen the sunset in the East and in the West, 
I've sang the glory that was Rome and passed the 'Hound Dog' singer's home, 
It still seems for the best. 
C C/B C/A C/G F G
And I'm far, far away with my head up in the clouds,
C C/B C/A C/G F G
and I'm far, far away with my feet down in the crowds,
C C/B C/A C/G F E Am
letting loose around the world, but the call of home is loud, still as loud.
 
I've seen the Paris lights from high upon Montmartre 
and felt the silence hanging low in No Man's land, 
and though those Spanish nights were fine, it wasn't only from the wine, 
It still seems all in hand: 
And I'm far, far away with my head up in the clouds, 
And I'm far, far away with my feet down in the crowds, 
letting loose around the world, but the call of home is loud, still as loud. 
 
I've seen the yellow lights go down the Mississippi 
The grand Bahama island stories carry on, 
And though those alligator smiles, stay in your memory for a while 
There still seems more to come: 
And I'm far, far away ... 
 
And I'm far, far away ...
