  1. Sunny Afternoon

R. D. Davies / the Kinks: Face to Face (1966)

Intro:
|: Dm Dm/C Dm/B Dm/Bb A A/G A/F A/E :|
Dm C7 F C7
The taxman's taken all my dough And left me in my stately home,
A A/G A/F A/E Dm
Lazin' on a sunny afternoon.
Dm C7 F C7
And I can't sail my yacht, He's taken everything I've got,
A A/G A/F A/E Dm
All I've got's this sunny afternoon.
D7 G7 C7 F A7
Save me, save me, save me from this greed; I got a big fat mama tryin' to break me.
Dm G7 Dm G7 C7
And I love to live so pleasantly - Live this life of luxury;
F A7 Dm Dm/C Dm/B Dm/Bb A A/G A/F A/E
Lazin' on a sunny afternoon - In the summertime.
 
My girlfriend's run off with my car And gone back to her ma and pa, 
Tellin' tales of drunkenness and cruelty. 
Now I'm sittin' here, Sippin' at my ice-cooled beer; 
Lazing on a sunny afternoon. 
Help me, help me, help me sail away. Who give me two good reasons why I are to stay? 
'Cause I love to live so pleasantly - Live this life of luxury; 
Lazin' on a sunny afternoon - In the summertime. 
In the summertime 
Save me, save me, save me from this greed, I got a big fat mama tryin' to break me. 
And I love to live so pleasantly - Live this life of luxury; 
Lazin' on a sunny afternoon - In the summertime. 
In the summertime... 

  2. One More Cup of Coffee

Bob Dylan and Jacques Levy

Am G
Your Breath is sweet, your eyes are like Two jewels in the sky.
F E
Your back is straight your hair is smooth On the pillow where you lie.
Am G
But I don't sense affection - No gratitude or love.
F E
Your loyalty is not me - But to the stars above.
F E
One more cup of coffee for the road.
F E N.C. Am G F E
One more cup of coffee for I go, To the valley below.
 
Your daddy he's an outlaw- And a wanderer by trade. 
He'll teach you how to pick an choose - And how to throw the blade. 
And he oversees his kingdom - So no stranger does intrude. 
His voice it trembles as he calls out - For another plate of food 
One more cup of coffee for the road. 
One more cup of coffee for I go, To the valley below. 
 
Your sister sees the future - Like your momma and yourself. 
You've never learned to read or write - There's no books upon your shelf. 
And your pleasure know no limits - Your voice is like a meadow larks. 
But your heart is like an ocean - Mysterious and dark. 
One more cup of coffee for the road. 
more cup of coffee for I go, To the valley below.

Once in a town in the Blackforest a little white toy shop stood,
G Em C D
And a little tin soldier with only one leg lived in a castle of wood.
C D C D
And across the room on another shelve stood a tiny glass case,
G Em C D
And a tiny ballerina lived in there - all in a dress of lace.
C D C D
And from where the little tin soldier stood they could see each other so clear,
G Em C D
And the little tin soldier watched over her with a love so deep and dear.

Then one day, sadness came. The tiny ballerina was sold.

The little tin soldier was thrown away, and into the gutter he rolled.

The water carried him to the sea and many far-off lands;
Am Em Am Em
He made many children happy as he passed through their tiny hands
G Em G Em
And then one day they met again in a town in the land of Eire.

And as the clocks on the wall struck the midnight hour they jumped into the fire.

And in that fire they shall stay, Lord, forever and a day.

'Cause that fire, oh Lord, is the fire of love, just like the peace of thy.

To a life where nothing's gained 
And nothing's lost at such a cost 
Goodbye Ruby Tuesday, Who could hang a name on you? 
When you change with ev'ry new day, Still I'm gonna miss you! 
 
There's no time to loose I heard her say 
Cash your dream before they slip away 
Dying all the time 
Lose your dreams and you 
will loose your mind ain't life unkind 
Goodbye Ruby Tuesday, Who could hang a name on you? 
When you change with ev'ry new day, Still I'm gonna miss you!

  7. Girl from the North Country

Bob Dylan/the Freewheelin' Bob Dylan (1963)

Capo II; Harp "A"
G Bm C G
G Bm C G
Well, if you're travelin' in the north country fair,
G Bm C G
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline,
G Bm C G
Remember me to one who lives there,
G Bm C G
She once was a true love of mine.
 
If you go in the snowflake storm 
When the rivers freeze and summer ends. 
Please see she has a coat so warm 
To keep her from the howlin' winds. 
 
Please see if her hair hangs long, 
If it rolls and flows all down her breast. 
Please see for me if her hair is hangin' long, 
For that's the way I remember her best. 
 
I'm a-wonderin' if she remembers me at all? 
Many times I've often prayed, 
In the darkness of my night, 
In the brightness of my day. 
Harp solo
So, if you're travelin' in the north country fair, 
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline. 
Remember me to one who lives there, 
She once was a true love of mine.

new distance between us you and me.

Well, the drinks were served as usual, And the usual crowd was there,

In a corner stood old Joe McKennedy, His eyes all bloodshot and red.

He turned to the crowd around him, And these were the words he said,

I went to St. James infirmary, I saw my baby there.
Em Am Em
She was layed out on a long white table,

So sweet, so cold, so fair, So sweet, so cold, so fair!
 
Went up to see the doctor, "She's very low," he said; 
Went back to see my baby: 
Good God! She's lying there dead! Good God! She's lying there dead! 
 
"Let her go, let her go, God bless her, Wherever she may be! 
She can search this wide world over, 
And never find a man like me, And never find a man like me! 
 
Well, if I die, please won't you bury me With my high top Stetson hat! 
Put a twenty Dollar gold piece on my watchchain, 
to let the boys know that I'm standing pat, to let the boys know that I'm standing pat! 
 
Get six gamblers to carry my coffin, Let six pretty girls sing me a song! 
Put a dixieland band behind my hearse wagon, 
To raise Hell while they roll me along, To raise Hell while they roll me along 
 
Now that's the end of my story; Let's have another round of booze 
And if anyone should ask you: 
I've got the St. James Infirmary blues, I've got the St. James Infirmary blues! 
Let her go, let her go, God bless her,...

 17. Four Strong Winds

Ian Tyson

 
G Am D G
C Em D D
 
Four strong winds that blow lonely, seven seas that run high, 
All these things that won't change, come what may. 
Well our good times all are gone, and I'm bound for movin' on, 
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way. 
 
Think I'll go down to Alberta, weather's good there in the fall, 
Got some friends that I could go to workin' for. 
Still I wish you'd change your mind, if I asked you one more time, 
But we've been through that a hundred times or more. 
 
Four strong winds that blow lonely, seven seas that run high, 
All these things that won't change, come what may. 
Well our good times all are gone, and I'm bound for movin' on, 
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way. 
 
If I get there 'fore the snow flies, and if things are goin' good, 
You could meet me if I sent you down the fare. 
But by then it would be winter, not much for you to do, 
And those winds sure blow cold, way out there. 
 
Four strong winds that blow lonely, seven seas that run high, 
All these things that won't change, come what may. 
Well our good times all are gone, and I'm bound for movin' on, 
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way.

There's no reason for this slaughtering, - They're left on the rocks to bleed.

 19. 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

 20. If You Could Read My Mind

Gordon Lightfood / Gordon Lightfood: Sit Down Young Stranger (1970)

Intro: |: G Fmaj7 :|
G F
If you could read my mind love - What a tale my thoughts could tell!
G F
Just like an old time movie - 'bout a ghost from a wishin' well!
G Em C D Em C G
In a castle dark or a fortress strong - With chains upon my feet - You know that ghost is me;
C G/B Am7 D G Fmaj7 G
And I will never be set free - As long as I'm a ghost that you can't see.
 
G F
If I could read your mind love - What a tale your thoughts could tell?
G F
Just like a paperback novel - The kind that drugstores sell.
G Em C D Em C G
When you reach the part where the heartaches come, The hero would be me. But heroes often fail!
C G/B Am7 D G Fmaj7 G
And you won't read that book again - Because the ending's just too hard to take.

Enter number two - A movie queen to play the scene

Of bringing all the good things out in me! But for now love, let's be real;
C G/B Am7 D
I never thought I could act this way - And I've got to say that I just don't get it;

I don't know where we went wrong - But the feeling's gone - And I just can't get it back.

The feelin's that you lack. I never thought I could feel this way,

But the feelin's gone - And I just can't get it back.
