When the night is cold, and the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see.
No I won't be afraid. No, I won't be afraid,
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.
And the sky that we look upon should crumble and fall,
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.
SOLO:
And darling, darling, stand by me. Oh, stand by me.
Stand by me, Oh stand now, stand by me, stand by me.
Whenever you're in trouble just stand by me. Oh, stand by me,
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me...

Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headin' for the trains,

Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rains,

Took us all the way to New Or

I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
G7

And was blowin' sad while
Bobby sang the
blues.

With them
Windshield wipers slappin' time, and
Bobby clappin' hands we finely
D7

sang up every song that driver
knew.

Freedom's just another word for
nothing left to lose.

Nothing ain't worth nothing but it's
free.

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 Mc
Gee.
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 good enough for me,
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee.

Come on Wall Street, don't be slow,
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..

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.

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)

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.

Have a drink,
have a drive, go
and a-see what you can
find
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...
solo
When the winter’s here, yeah, it’s party time.
Bring a bottle, wear your bright clothes - it’ll soon be summertime!
And we’ll sing again. We’ll go driving, or maybe we’ll settle down.
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

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 da
y;
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 d
ays.
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

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.
