Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be!
Whisper words of wisdom: let it be.
And when the night is cloudy
there is still a light that shines on me
Shines on still tomorrow, let it be
I wake up to the sound of music
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom: let it be.
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be!
Speaking words of wisdom: let it be.

Because we know we can't be found.
I'd like to be under the sea
In an Octopus's Garden in the shade.
Solo
We would shout and swim about
The coral that lies beneath the waves.
Oh, what joy for every girl and boy
Knowing they're happy and they're safe.
We would be so happy, you and me.
No one there to tell us what to do.
I'd like to be under the sea
In an Octopus's Garden with you.
In an Octopus's Garden with you.
In an Octopus's Garden with you.

He mumbles a prayer and it ends with a smile
The order is given, they move down the line
But he stay'll behind and he'll meditate
But it won't stop the bleeding or ease the hate
As the young men move out into the battle zone
He feels good, with God you're never alone
He feels so tired and he lays on his bed
Hopes the men will find courage in the words that he said

The fate of your country is in your young hands
May God give you strength, do your job real well

The stench of death drifts up to the skies
A young soldier so ill looks at the Sky Pilot
Remembers the words, "Thou shalt not kill"

This following program is dedicated to the city and people of San Francisco
Who may not know it, but they are beautiful - and so is their city
This is a very personal song, so if the viewer cannot understand it -
particularly those of you who are European residents - save up
all your bread and fly Trans-Love Airways to San Francisco, USA
Then maybe you'll understand the song
It will be worth it - if not for the sake of this song
But for the sake of your own peace of mind

And it burns, burns, burns, that ring of fire, that ring of fire.
The taste of love is sweet, when hearts like ours meet.
I fell for you like a child, Oooh, but the fire went wild.
I fell into a burnin' ring of fire
I went down, down, down and the flames, they got higher
And it burns, burns, burns, that ring of fire, that ring of fire.

29. A Thing Called Love
Jerry Hubbard / Johnny Cash

G
Huuh
Laah A Thing called
Love
C
Six-foot-
six, he stood on the ground,
He weighed two hundred and thirty-five pounds,
F
G
C
But I saw that
giant of a man brought
down to his knees by
love.
C
He was the kind of a man that would gamble on luck,
Look you in the eye and never back up,
F
G
C
But I saw him
cryin' like a little whipped
pup' because of
love.
C
F
You can't see it with your eyes; hold it in your
hand;
Em
Am
But like the
wind that covers our
land;
F
G
Strong enough to
rule the heart of any man, This thing called
love.
C
F
It can lift you
up; never let you
down;
Em
Am
Take your
world and turn it all
around.
C
G
C
Ever since
time nothing's ever been
found, That's stronger than
love.
Bb
F
G
Huuh
Laah A Thing called
Love
Most men are like me, they struggle in doubt,
They trouble their minds, they in and they out,
Too busy with livin' to worry about a little word like love.
But when I see a mother's tenderness,
As she holds her young close to her breast,
Then I thank God that the world's been blessed, With a thing called love.
You can't see it with your eyes...
Ever since time nothing's ever been found,
That's stronger than love...
30. Folsom Prison Blues
Johnny Cash/Johnny Cash (1955)
E
I
hear the train a-comin'; it's rollin' 'round the bend,
E
E7
And
I ain't seen the sunshine since I
don't know when,
A7
E
I'm
stuck at Folsom Prison and time keeps draggin'
on.
B7
E
But that
train keeps a-rollin' on down to San An
tone.
E
When
I was just a baby my momma told me: "Son,
E
E7
Always be a good boy; don't
ever play with guns."
A7
E
But I
shot a man in Reno, just to watch him
die.
B7
E
When I
hear that whistle blowin', I hang my head and
cry.
E
I
bet there's rich folk eatin' in a fancy dining car.
E
E7
They're
prob'ly drinkin' coffee and
smokin' big cigars.
A7
E
But I
know I had it comin', I know I can't be
free.
B7
E
But those
people keep a-movin', and that's what tortures
me.
E
Well if they
freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine,
E
E7
I
bet I'd move it all a little
farther down the line.
A7
E
Far from Folsom Prison, that's where I want to
stay.
B7
E
And I'd
let that lonesome whistle blow my blues a
way.

cold,

side!

OK!

He's the one who must decide, who's to live and who's to die,
and he never sees the writing on the wall.
But without him how would Hitler have condemned them at Dachau,
without him Caesar would have stood alone.
He's the one who gives his body as a weapon of the war,

"Stop complaining," said the farmer, "Who told you a calf to be,
Why don't you have wings to fly with, Like the swallow so proud and free?"
How the winds are laughing, They laugh with all their might,
Laugh and laugh the whole day through, And half the summer's night.
Dona, dona, dona, donna; Dona, dona, dona, do.
Dona, dona, dona, donna; Dona, dona, dona, do.
Calves are easily bound and slaughtered, Never knowing the reason why,
But whoever treasures freedom, Like the swallow has learned to fly.
How the winds are laughing, They laugh with all their might,
Laugh and laugh the whole day through, And half the summer's night.
Dona, dona, dona, donna; Dona, dona, dona, do.
Dona, dona, dona, donna; Dona, dona, dona, do.

And the war
drags on!
Found himself involved in a sea of blood and bones.
Millions without faces - without hope and without homes.
And the guns they grew louder as they made dust out of bones.
That the flesh had long since left just as the people - left their homes.
And the war drags on!
They're just there to make the people free.
But the way that they're doing it, it don't seem like that to me.
Just more blood letting, and misery, and tears;
That this poor country's known for the last twenty years.
And the war drags on!
Last night young Dan had a nightmare it seems.
One that kept occurring and reoccurring in his dreams.
Millions of people running screaming and shouting loud;
