2. 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 ... |

Chuck Berry (1958)
| A | |
| Deep | down in Louisiana, close to New Orleans, |
| Way back up in the woods among the evergreens, |
| D | |
| There | stood a log cabin made of earth and wood |
| A | |
| Where | lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode |
| E | |
| Who | never ever learned to read or write so well, |
| A | |
| But he could | play the guitar just like a ringin' a bell. |
| A | |
| Go! Go! Go, Johnny, go! Go! |
| D | |
| Go, Johnny, go! Go | ! |
| A | |
| Go, Johnny, go! | Go! |
| E | A | |
| Go, Johnny, go! Go! | Johnny B. | Goode! |
| He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack, |
| And sit beneath the tree by the railroad track. |
| Living in the city sittin' in the shade, |
| Strummin' to the rhythm that the drivers made. |
| When people passed him by they would stop and say, |
| "Oh my but that little country boy could play". |
| Go! Go! Go, Johnny, go! Go! |
| Go, Johnny, go! Go! |
| Go, Johnny, go! Go! |
| Go, Johnny, go! Go! Johnny B. Goode! |
| His mother told him: "Someday you will be a man, |
| And you will be the leader of a big old band. |
| Many people coming from miles around |
| To hear you play your music when the sun goes down. |
| Maybe some day your name will be in lights - |
| Saying Johnny B. Goode tonight!" |
| Go! Go! Go, Johnny, go! Go! |
| Go, Johnny, go! Go! |
| Go, Johnny, go! Go! |
| Go, Johnny, go! Go! Johnny B. Goode! |

73. A Boy named Sue
Shel Silverstein / Johnny Cash: At San Quentin (1969)
| A | D7 | |
| Well My | daddy left home when I was three -- And he | didn't leave much to Ma and me |
| E7 | A | |
| Just | this old guitar and an empty bottle of | booze. -- Now, I don't blame him cause he run and hid |
| D7 | E7 | A | |
| But the | meanest thing that he ever did -- Was be | fore he left, he went and named me ' | Sue'. |
| Well, he must have thought that that was quite a joke -- And it got a lot of laughs from a' lots of folks, |
| It seems I had to fight my whole life through. -- Some gal' would giggle and I'd get red |
| And some guy'd laugh and I'd bust his head, -- I tell you, life ain't easy for a boy named 'Sue'. |
| Well, I grew up quick and I grew up mean, -- My fist got hard and my wits got keen, |
| I'd roam from town to town to hide my shame. -- But I made me a vow to the moon and stars |
| That I'd search the honky-tonks and bars -- And kill that man that give me that awful name. |
| Well, it was Gatlinburg in mid-July -- And I just hit town and my throat was dry, |
| I thought I'd stop and have myself a brew. -- At an old saloon on a street of mud, |
| There at a table, dealing stud, -- Sat the dirty, mangy dog that named me 'Sue'. |
| Well, I knew that snake was my own sweet dad -- From a worn-out picture that my mother'd had, |
| And I knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye. -- He was big and bent and gray and old, |
| And I looked at him and my blood ran cold -- And I said: "My name is 'Sue'! how do you do? |
| Now you gonna die!" - Yeah, that's what I told him! |
| Well, I hit him hard right between the eyes -- And he went down, but, to my surprise, |
| He come up with a knife and cut off a piece of my ear. -- But I busted a chair right across his teeth |
| And we crashed through the wall and into the street -- Kicking and a' gouging in the mud and the blood and the beer. |
| I tell you, I've fought tougher men -- But I really can't remember when, |
| He kicked like a mule and he bit like a crocodile. -- I heard him laugh and then I heard him cuss, |
| He went for his gun and I pulled mine first, -- He stood there lookin' at me and I saw him smile. |
| He said: "Son, this world is rough -- And if a man's gonna make it, he's gotta be tough |
| And I know I wouldn't be there to help you along. -- So I give you that name and I said good-bye |
| I knew you'd have to get tough or die -- And it's that name that helped to make you strong." |
| He said: "Now you just fought one hell of a fight -- And I know you hate me, and you got the right |
| To kill me now, and I wouldn't blame you if you do. -- But you ought to thank me, before I die, |
| For the gravel in ya' guts and the spit in ya' eye -- Cause I'm the son-of-a-bitch that named you 'Sue'." |
Yeah; what could I do? What could I do?
| I got all choked up and I threw down my gun -- And I called him my pa, and he called me his son, |
| And I come away with a different point of view. -- And I think about him, now and then, |
| Every time I try and every time I win, -- And if I ever have a son, I think I'm gonna name him |
| Bill or George! Any damn' thing but Sue! -- I still hate that name! |

| And the | tears that I cried for that woman are gonna | flood you Big River. |

| Then | I'm gonna sit right | here until I | die. |
| I met her accidentally in St. Paul Minnesota. |
| And it tore me up ev'ry time I heard her drawl, Southern drawl. |
| Then I heard my dream was back downstream cavortin' in Davenport, |
| And I followed you, Big River, when you called. |
| Then you took me to St. Louis later on down the river. |
| A freighter said she's been here but she's gone, boy, she's gone. |
| I found her trail in Memphis, but she just walked up the block. |
| She raised a few eyebrows and then she went on down alone. |
| Now, won't you batter down by Baton Rouge, River Queen, roll it on. |
| Take that woman on down to New Orleans, New Orleans. |
| Go on, I've had enough; dump my blues down in the gulf. |
| She loves you, Big River, more than me. |
| Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry... |

| E | E7 | |
| Always be a good boy; don't | ever play with guns." |

| But I | shot a man in Reno, just to watch him | die. |

| E | E7 | |
| They're | prob'ly drinkin' coffee and | smokin' big cigars. |

| 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. |

| Well if they | freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine, |

| I | bet I'd move it all a little | farther down the line. |

| 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... |

96. When I'm Gray

| When a | rocking chair is | all that | move's me |

| A | D | A | F#m | |
| When the | kids are grown and | on their own and | blackbird's have flown a | way, |
| A | E | A | D | A | |||
| Will you still | love me | when I'm | gray? |
| When conversation's down to the weather |
| And the running of the mail is a real big deal; |
| When "I Love You" slips my mind at least every other day - |
| Will you still love me when I'm gray? |
| When I look at you I know I'll always love you, |
| Though the year's may make my memories fade at times. |
| When my body's broken down, can I count on you to stay? |
| Will you still love me when I'm gray? |
| When the thought of a cup of coffee in the morning |
| Does strange things to my body and my mind; |
| And all my arms can reach for is the place where my pills lay, |
| Will you still love me when I'm gray? |
| When I look at you I know I'll always love you. |
| Though the years may make my memories fade at times. |
| When my body's broken down, can I count on you to stay? |
| Will you still love me when I'm gray? |
| Will you still love me when I'm gray? |

| G | D | F#m | E | Esus4 | E | |
| I used to think I was some kind of | Gypsy boy, | Before I let you take me | home. |
| E7 | A | F#m | |
| So long, Marianne, | it's time that we began to |
| E | Esus4 | E | E7 | E | Esus4 | E | E7 | A | Asus4 | A | Asus4 | A | |
| Laugh | and | cry | and | cry | and | laugh a | bout it all a | gain. |
| Well you know that I love to live with you, but you make me forget so very much. |
| I forget to pray for the angels and then the angels forget to pray for us. |
| So long, Marianne, it's time that we began to |
| Laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again. |
| We met when we were almost young, deep in the green lilac park. |
| You held on to me like I was a crucifix, as we went kneeling through the dark. |
| So long, Marianne, it's time that we began to |
| Laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again. |
| Your letters they all say that you're beside me now, Then, why do I feel alone? |
| I'm standing on a ledge and your fine spider web is fastening my ankle to a stone. |
| So long, Marianne, it's time that we began to |
| Laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again. |
| For now I need your hidden love, I'm cold as a new razor blade. |
| You left when I told you I was curious, I never said that I was brave. |
| So long, Marianne, it's time that we began to |
| Laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again. |
| Oh, you are really such a pretty one; I see you've gone and changed your name again. |
| And just when I climbed this whole mountainside, to wash my eyelids in the rain! |
| So long, Marianne, it's time that we began to |
| Laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again. |
| Oh your eyes, well I forgot Your eyes; Your body's at home in every sea. |
| How come you gave away your news to everyone, that you said was a secret for me. |
| So long, Marianne, it's time that we began to |
| laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again. |
| If you leave, where will I keep you then? In my heart as some men say. |
| But I who was born to love everyone, why should I keep you so far away? |
| So long, Marianne, it's time that we began to |
| laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again. |
101. Suzanne
Leonard Cohen
| E | |
| Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river, |
| F#m | |
| You can | hear the boat go by, and you spend the night beside her. |
| E | |
| And you | know that she's half crazy, but that's why you want to be there |
| G#m | A | |
| And she | feeds you tea and oranges that come | all the way from China. |
| E | F#m | |
| And | when you mean to tell her that you | have no love to give her. |
| E | |
| Then she | gets you on her wave-length |
| F#m | E | |
| And she | lets the river answer that you’ve | always been her lover. |
| G#m | A | |
| And you | want to travel with her, and you | want to travel blind, |
| E | F#m | |
| And you | know she will trust you for you’ve | touched her perfect body |
| E | |
| With your | mind. |
| And Jesus was a sailor when he walked upon the water. |
| And he spend a long time watching from his lonely wooden tower. |
| And when he knew for certain only drowning men could see him |
| He said: "All men will be sailors then until the sea shall free them". |
| But he himself was broken long bevor the sky war open |
| Forsaken, almost human, |
| He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone. |
| And you want to travel with him, and you want to travel blind |
| And you think maybe you'll trust him for he's touched you perfect body |
| With his mind. |
| Now Suzanne takes your hand and she leads you to the river |
| She is wearing rags and feathers from Salvation Army counters. |
| And the sun pours down like honey for our lady of the harbour, |
| and she shows you where to look among the garbage and the flowers. |
| There are heros in the seaweed, there are children in the morning |
| They are leaning out for love |
| And they will lean that way forever, while Suzanne holds the mirror. |
| And you want to travel with her, and you want to travel blind, |
| And you know that you can trust her for she's touched your perfect body |
| With her mind. |

110. Woodstock
Joni Mitchell / Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young: Déjà Vu (1970)
| E | E7 | A7 | A7/g | |
| Well I | came across a | child of God, He was | walking along the | road; |
| A7 | A7/g | E | E7 | |
| When I | asked him: "Tell me where are you | going?" -- This he | told me: |
| E | E7 | A7 | A7/g | |
| Said "I am | going down to | Yasgur's farm -- Going to | join in a rock and roll | band |
| A7 | A7/2 | E | E7 | |
| Got to | get back to the | land -- To set my | soul free!" |
| A7/g | E7 | A7/g | E7 | |
| We are | stardust, we are | golden -- We are | billion year old | carbon, |
| G | D | A | A7/g | E7 | |
| And we've | got to get our | selves back to the | ga- | ar- | den! |
| Well then can I roam beside you? I have come to lose my smog, |
| And I feel myself a cog -- In something turning. |
| And maybe it's the time of year, Yes, and maybe it's the time of man! |
| And I don't know who I am -- But life is for learning. |
| We are stardust, we are golden -- We are billion year old carbon, |
| And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden! |
Solo
| We are stardust, we are golden -- We are billion year old carbon, |
| And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden! |
| By the time we got to Woodstock, We were half a million strong; |
| And everywhere there was a song -- And a celebration. |
| And I dreamed I saw the bomber jet planes -- Riding shotgun in the sky, |
| Turning into butterflies -- Above our nation. |
| We are stardust, we are golden, We are caught in the devil's bargain, |
| And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden! |

| In the | area we now call the Atlantic Ocean. |

| So great an area of land, that from | her western | shores, those beautiful sailors |

| G | C | D | |
| To the east | Africa was a neighbor across | a short strait of sea miles. |

| The great Egyptian age is but a rem | nant of the At | lantian culture. |
| C | |
| The antedeluvian Kings colonised the world; |
| D | Fmaj7 | |
| All the Gods who play a part in the | mythological dramas in all legends |
| C | G | |
| from all | lands were from fair Atlantis. |
| C | D | |
| Knowing her fate, Altantis sent out ships to all corners | of the earth. |

| On board were the twelve, the poet, | the physician, the farmer, the scientist, |
| C | G | |
| the magi | cian, and the other so called | Gods of our legends. |

| Tho' Gods they were! |

| For seagull, I don't want your wings, I don't want your freedom, in a lie. |
| On the quilted battle-fields of soldiers, Dazzling made of toy tin. |
| The big bomb, like a child's hand, Could sweep them dead just so to win. |
| For seagull, I don't want your wings, I don't want your freedom, in a lie. |
| As you fill your glasses, With the wine of murdered Negroes. |
| Thinking not of beauty that, Spreads like morning sun-glow. |
| For seagull, I don't want your wings, I don't want your freedom, in a lie. |
| I pray your dreams of vivid screams, Of children dying slowly. |
| And as you polish up your guns, Your real self be re-flecting. |
| For seagull, I don't want your wings, I don't want your freedom, in a lie. |

| Personnel man he questioned me un | til I | nearly | cried, |
| Am | C | C/B | Am | |
| He made me fill in forms un | til I | shook with | fear: |
| Am | C | C/B | Am | |
| About the colour of my toilet roll and | if my | cousin's | queer. |
| Am | C | C/B | Am | |
| Here's your goldwatch and the | shackles | for your | chain, |
| Am | C | C/B | Am | |
| And your piece of paper to | say you | left here | sane. |
| Am | C | C/B | Am | |
| And if you've got a son who | wants a | good ca | reer: |
| Am | (only one downstroke) | C | Em | Am | |
| Just | get | him to sign on the dotted line and | work for | fifty | years. |
| He asked me how many jobs I'd had before. |
| He nearly had a heart attack when I answered: Four. |
| Four jobs in twenty years, oh, this can never be! |
| We only take on men who work until they die. |
| Here's your goldwatch... |
| He took me outside to where the gravestones stand in line. |
| This is where we bury them in quick-stone and in lime! |
| And if you come to work for us on this you must agree: |
| That if you're going to die please do it during tea-break. |
| Here's your goldwatch... |
| This story that you heard you may think rather queer, |
| But it is the truth you'll be surprised to hear. |

| 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, |
| and without him all this killing can't go on. |
| He's the universal soldier and he really is to blame, |
| his orders come from far away no more, |
| they come from here and there and you and me - |
| and brothers can't you see, |
| this is not a way we put an end to war. |
127. The War Drags On
Mick Softley / Donovan
| E | E7 | A | E | |
| Let me tell you the | story of a | soldier named | Dan. |
| E7 | A | E | |
| Went out to | fight the | good fight in | South Vietnam. |
| E7 | A | E | |
| Went out to | fight for peace, | liberty and | all. |
| E7 | A | F#m | E | ||
| Went out to | fight for | equality, | hope let's go! |
| Em7 | E | |
| 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; |
| And right overhead was a big mushroom cloud. |
| And there's no more war - |
| 'Cause there's no more world - |
| And my tears keep fallin' down - |
| Like the rain - on to the blackened ground! |

| You | must leave now, take what you need you | think will last. |

| Look out the Saints are comin' | through: |
| Dm | F | C | |
| And - | It's all over | now, Baby | Blue. |
| The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense. |
| Take what you have gathered from coincidence. |
| The empty handed painter from your streets |
| Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets. |
| This sky too, is folding under you: |
| And - It's all over now, Baby Blue. |
| All your seasick sailors, they are rowing home. |
| All your reindeer armies, are all going home. |
| The lover who just walked out your door |
| Has taken all his blankets from the floor. |
| The carpet too, is moving under you: |
| And - It's all over now, Baby Blue. |
| Leave your stepping stone behind, something calls for you. |
| Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you. |
| The vagabond who's rapping at your door |
| Is standing in the clothes that you once wore. |
| Strike another match, go start anew: |
| And - It's all over now, Baby Blue. |

Bob Dylan/Self Portrait

| I'm | old Tom Moore from the | bummer's shore in the | good old | golden | days. |
| G | Am | G | Am | |
| They call me a bummer and a | gin-sot, too, but | what cares | I for | praise |
| C | Am | C | Am | |
| I | wander 'round from | town to town, just | like a roving | sign, |
| C | Am | G | Am | |
| And | the people all say "There | goes Tom Moore in the | days of ' | 49. |
| Am | F | C | F | C | |
| In the | days of old, in the | days of gold, how | oftentimes I re | pine |
| F | C | Am | |
| For the | days of old when we | dug up the gold, In the | days of '49. |
| There was Nantuck Bill, I knew him well, a feller fond of tricks. |
| At a poker game he was always there and heavy with his bricks. |
| He would ante up and draw his cards and go in a hatfull blind. |
| In a game of bluff, Bill lost his breath in the days of '49. |
| In the days of old... |
| There was New York Jake, a butcher boy he was always getting tight. |
| And every time that he got full he was always hunting a fight. |
| One night he run up against a knife in the hands of old Bob Kline: |
| And over Jake they held a wake In the days of '49. |
| In the days of old... |
| There was poor old Jess, the old lame cuss; He never would relent. |
| He never was known to miss a drink Or ever spend a cent. |
| At length old Jess, like all the rest, who never would decline, |
| In all his bloom went up the flume in the days of '49. |
| In the days of old... |
| There was roaring Bill from Buffalo; I never will forget. |
| He would roar all day and he'd roar all night and I guess he's roaring yet. |
| One night he fell in a prospector's hole in a roaring bad design, |
| And in that hole roared out his soul in the days of '49 |
| In the days of old... |

| Everybody | knows that | baby's got new | clothes |
| F | Em | Dm | C | G7 | |
| But | late | ly | I | see her | ribbons and her bows |
| Am | C/G | G7sus4 | G7 | G7sus2 | G7 | |

| But she | breaks | just like a | little | girl | . |
| Queen Mary, she's my friend. Yes, I believe I'll go see her again. |
| Nobody has to guess that baby can't be blessed |
| Till she sees finally that she's like all the rest |
| With her fog, her amphetamine and her pearls. |
| She takes just like a woman, yes she does; She makes love... |
| E7 | |
| It was rainin' from the first and I was dying there of thirst |
| C | Csus4 | C | |
| So I | came in here |
| E7 | |
| And your longtime curse hurts but what's worse |
| G7sus4 | G7 | G7sus2 | G7 | G7sus4 | G7 | G7sus2 | G7 | |
| Is this pain in here, | I can't stay | in here, | Ain't it | clear that |
| I just can't fit - Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit |
| When we meet again introduced as friends |
| Please don't let on that you knew me when |
| I was hungry and it was your world. |
| She takes just like a woman, yes she does; She makes love... |

143. Masters of War
Bob Dylan/the Freewheelin' Bob Dylan (1963)
Capo III - dropped D [DAdgbe']
| Dm | |
| Come you masters of war - You that build the big guns; |
| Cadd2 | Dm | |
| You that build the death planes - You that | build all the | bombs; |
| You that hide behind walls - You that hide behind desks. |
| Cadd2 | Dm | |
| I just want you to | know - I can see through your | masks! |
| You that never done nothin' - But build to destroy. |
| You play with my world - Like it's your little toy. |
| You put a gun in my hand - And you hide from my eyes. |
| And you turn and run farther - When the fast bullets fly. |
| Like Judas of old - You lie and deceive. |
| A world war can be won - You want me to believe. |
| But I see through your eyes - And I see through your brain. |
| Like I see through the water - That runs down my drain. |
| You fasten the triggers - For the others to fire. |
| Then you set back and watch - When the death count gets higher. |
| You hide in your mansion - As young people's blood |
| Flows out of their bodies - And is buried in the mud. |
| You've thrown the worst fear - That can ever be hurled: |
| Fear to bring children - Into the world; |
| For threatening my baby - Unborn and unnamed! |
| Dm/f | Cadd2 | Dm | |
| You ain't worth the | blood - That | runs in your | veins! |
| How much do I know - To talk out of turn. |
| You might say that I'm young - You might say I'm unlearned. |
| But there's one thing I know - Though I'm younger than you: |
| Cadd2 | G/B | Dm | |
| Even Jesus would | never - For | give what you | do! |
| Let me ask you one question - Is your money that good? |
| Will it buy you forgiveness - Do you think that it could? |
| I think you will find - When your death takes its toll: |
| All the money you made - Will never buy back your soul! |
| And I hope that you die - And your death'll come soon; |
| I will follow your casket - In the pale afternoon. |
| And I'll watch while you're lowered - Down to your deathbed; |
| Dm/f | Cadd2 | Dm | |
| And I'll stand o'er your | grave - 'Til I'm | sure that you're | dead |

145. Mr. Tambourine Man
Bob Dylan
| F | G | C | F | |
| Hey, Mr. | Tambourine Man, | play a song for | me, |
| C | F | G | |
| I'm not | sleepy and there | is no place I'm | going to. |
| F | G | C | F | |
| Hey, Mr. | Tambourine Man, | play a song for | me, |
| C | F | G | C | C4 | C | |
| In the | jingle jangle | morning I'll come | followin' | you |
| F | G | C | F | C | F | |
| Though I | know that evenin's | empire has | returned into | sand, | Vanished from my | hand, |
| C | F | G | |
| Left me | blindly here to | stand but still not | sleeping. |
| F | G | C | F | C | F | |
| My | weariness a | mazes me, I'm | branded on my | feet, -- I | have no one to | meet, |
| C | F | G | |
| And the | ancient empty | street's too dead for | dreaming. |
| Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man... |
| Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship, my senses have been stripped, |
| My hands can't feel to grip, my toes too numb to step, |
| Wait only for my boot heels to be wanderin'. |
| I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade into my own parade, |
| Cast your dancing spell my way, I promise to go under it. |
| Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man... |
| Though you might hear laughin', spinnin', swingin' madly across the sun, |
| It's not aimed at anyone , it's just escapin' on the run, and but for the sky there are no fences facin'. |
| And if you hear vague traces of skippin' reels of rhyme to your tambourine in time, |
| It's just a ragged clown behind, I wouldn't pay it any mind, |
| It's just a shadow you're seein' that he's chasing. |
| Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man... |
| Then take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind, |
| Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves, the haunted, frightened trees, |
| Out to the windy beach, far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow. |
| Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free, |
| Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands, with all memory and fate, |
| Driven deep beneath the waves, let me forget about today until tomorrow. |
| Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man... |
146. The Times They Are A-Changin'

| For the | times, they are a | cha- | an- | gin'! |
| Come writers and critics who prophecise with your pen |
| And keep your eyes wide the chance won't come again! |
| And don't speak too soon for the wheel's still in spin |
| And there's no tellin' who that it's namin'! |
| For the loser now will be later to win |
| For the times they are a-changin'! |
| Come mothers and fathers throughout the land - And don't criticize what you don't understand! |
| Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command - Your old road is rapidly agin'! |
| Please get out of the new one if you can't lend a hand |
| For the times they are a-changin'! |
| Come senators, congressmen please heed the call |
| Don't stand in the doorway, don't block up the hall! |
| For he that gets hurt will be he who has stalled |
| There's a battle outside and it's ragin'! |
| It'll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls |
| For the times they are a-changin'! |
| The line it is drawn the curse it is cast - The slow one now will later be fast! |
| As the present now will later be past - The order is rapidly fadin'! |
| And the first one now will later be last - For the times they are a-changin'! |

| Doctor, doctor, tell me the time of | day. |
| A | |
| Another bottle's empty, another penny | spent. |

| He turned around and he slowly walked | away. |
| A | |
| They shot him in the back and down he | went. |
| D | E | D | A | |
| Shine your | light, move it | on, You burn so | bright, roll on | John. |
| A | D | |
| From the | Liverpool docks to the red light Hamburg | streets, |

| Down in the quarry with the Quarrymen. |

| Playing to the big crowds, playing to the cheap | seats. |
| A | |
| Another day in your life on your way ‘til your journey's | end. |
| Shine your light, move it on, You burn so bright, roll on John. |
| Sailing through the tradewinds bound for the south, |
| Rags on your back just like any other slave. |
| They tied your hands and they clamped your mouth, |
| Wasn't no way out of that deep dark cave. |
| Shine your light, move it on, You burn so bright, roll on John. |
| I heard the news today, oh boy: |
| They hauled your ship up on the shore. |
| Now the city's gone dark, there is no more joy; |
| They tore the heart right out and cut it to the core. |
| Shine your light, move it on, You burn so bright, roll on John. |
| Put on your bags and get 'em packed. |
| Leave right now you won't be far from wrong. |
| The sooner you go, the quicker you'll be back. |
| You've been cooped up on an island far too long. |
| Shine your light, move it on, You burn so bright, roll on John. |
| Slow down, you're moving way too fast. |
| Come together - right now over me. |
| Your bones are weary, you're about to breathe your last. |
| Lord, you know how hard that it can be. |
| Shine your light, move it on, You burn so bright, roll on John. |
| Roll on John, roll through the rain and snow. |
| Take the righthand road and go where the buffalo roam. |
| They'll trap you in an ambush before you know, |
| Too late now to sail back home. |
| Shine your light, move it on, You burn so bright, roll on John. |
| Tyger, Tyger burning bright - I pray the lord my soul to keep. |
| In the forest of the night - Cover him over and let him sleep. |
| Shine your light, move it on, You burn so bright, roll on John. |

| 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. |

150. 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 Califor | nia! |
| F# | Bm | |
| Such a lovely place (such a lovely place), such a | lovely face. |
| G | D | |
| Plenty of room at the Hotel Califor | nia! |
| 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!" |

G.Kooymans, B.Hay / Golden Earring: Moontan (1973)
| Em | |
| I've been drivin' all night, my hand's wet on the wheel. |
| There's a voice in my head that drives my heel. |
| It's my baby callin', says: "I need you here." |
| And it's a half past four and I'm shifting gear. |
| D | A | E | |
| When she is lonely and the | longing gets too | much, |
| D | A | B | |
| She sends a cable coming | in from above. | Don't need a phone at all: |
| C | G | D | Em | C | G | D | - | Em | ||
| We've got a | thing that's | called Radar | Love. | We've got a | wave in the | air, | Radar | Love! |
| The radio's playing some forgotten song: Brenda Lee's "Coming On Strong". |
| The road has got me hypnotized and I'm speeding into a new sunrise. |
| When I get lonely, and I'm sure I've had enough, |
| She sends her comfort, comin' in from above. Don't need a letter at all: |
| We've got a thing that's called Radar Love. We've got a line in the sky, Radar Love! |
| No more speed, I'm almost there. Gotta keep cool now, gotta take care. |
| Last car to pass, here I go, And the line of cars drove down real slow. |
| And the radio played that forgotten song: Brenda Lee's "Coming On Strong." |
| And the newsman sang his same song, One more radar love is gone! |
| When I get lonely and I'm sure I've had enough, She sends her comfort, coming in from above |
| We don't need no letter at all: |
| We've got a thing that's called Radar Love. We've got a line in the sky. |

157. City of New Orleans
Steve Goodman / Arlo Guthrie (1972)
| G | D | G | Em | C | G | |
| Riding on the | City of New | Orleans, | Illinois Central, | Monday morning | rail. |
| G | D | G | Em | D | G | |
| Fifteen cars and | fifteen restless | riders, Three | conductors, and | twenty-five sacks of | mail. |
| Em | Bm | |
| All | slong the southbound odyssey -- The | train pulls out of Kankakee |
| D | A | |
| And | rolls along the houses, farms and | fields. |
| Em | Bm | |
| Passing trains that have no name -- And | freight yards full of old black men |
| D | D7 | G | |
| And | graveyards of the | rusted auto | mobiles. |
| C | D | G | Em | C | G | D | |
| Good morning | America, how | are you? Say | don't you know me, | I'm your native | son. |
| G | D | Em | F | C | D | G | |
| I'm the | train they call the | City of New | Orleans, I'll be | gone five | hundred | miles when the day is | done. |
| Dealing card games with the old men in the club cars, A penny a point, ain't no one keeping score. |
| Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle, And feel the wheels rumbling 'neath the floor. |
| And the sons of Pullman porters -- And the sons of engineers |
| Ride their fathers' magic carpet made of steel. |
| Mothers with their babes asleep -- Rocking to the gentle beat |
| And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel. |
| Good morning America, how are you? Say don't you know me, I'm your native son. |
| I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans, I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done. |
| Nighttime on the City of New Orleans, Changing cars in Memphis, Tennesee. |
| Halfway home, and we'll be there by morning, Through the Misissippi darkness, rolling down to the sea. |
| But all the towns and people seem -- To fade into a bad dream |
| The steel rail still ain't heard the news. |
| The conductor sings his songs again -- The passengers will please refrain |
| This train's got the disappearin' railroad blues. |
| Goodnight America, how are you? Say don't you know me, I'm your native son. |
| I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans, I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done. |

| D | G | D | |
| This land is | your land, this land is | my land, |
| A7 | D | |
| From Calif | ornia to the New York | Island, |
| G | D | |
| From the Redwood F | orests to the Gulf Stream wa | ters; |
| 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 F | orests 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 F | orests 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 F | orests to the Gulf Stream waters; |
| This land was made for you and me. |

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 Or | leans. |
| 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 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 easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues. |
| Feeling good was good enough for me, |
| Good enough for me and Bobby McGee. |

| 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. |

| 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. |

| 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 ... |

| A working class hero is something to be |
| There's room at the top they're telling you still |

| If you want to be like the folks on the hill |

| 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. |

| 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) |

| The silver thorn and the bloody rose Lire crushed and broken on the virgin snow |

| 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. |

| So | how can you | tell me you're | lo-one- | ly - | 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: |
| 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. |

| G | C | G | C | |
| But the | dawn is breakin', it's | early morn', The | Taxi's waitin', he's | blowin' his horn. |

| G | Em | D | D7 | |||
| Oh babe, | I hate to | go. |
| There's so many times I've let you down, So many times I've played around, |
| I tell you now they don't mean a thing. |
| Ev'ry place I go I'll think of you, Ev'ry song I sing I sing for you. |
| When I come back I'll bring your wedding ring. |
| So kiss me ... |
| Now the time has come to leave you, One more time let me kiss you, |
| Then close your eyes, I'll be on my way. |
| Dream about the days to come, When I won't have to leave alone, |
| About the times I won't have to say. |
| So kiss me ... |
228. Puff (The Magic Dragon)
Peter Yarrow, Leonard Lipton (1963) / Peter, Paul & Mary
| C | Em | F | C | |
| Puff, the magic | dragon | lived by the | sea |
| F | C | Am | D7 | G7 | |
| And | frolicked in the | autumn | mist in a | land called Honah | Lee, |
| C | Em | F | C | |
| Little Jackie | Paper | loved that rascal | Puff |
| F | C | Am | D7 | G7 | C | G7 | |
| And | brought him strings and | sealing | wax and | other | fancy | stuff. | Oh! |
| C | Em | F | C | |
| Puff, the magic | dragon | lived by the | sea |
| F | C | Am | D7 | G7 | |
| And | frolicked in the | autumn | mist in a | land called Honah | Lee, |
| C | Em | F | C | |
| Puff, the magic | dragon | lived by the | sea |
| F | C | Am | D7 | G7 | C | |
| And | frolicked in the | autumn | mist in a | land called | Honah | Lee. |
| Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail, |
| Jackie kept a lookout perched on Puff's gigantic tail, |
| Noble kings and princes would bow whene'er they came, |
| Pirate ships would low'r their flag when Puff roared out his name. Oh! |
| Puff, the magic... |
| A dragon lives forever but not so little boys, |
| Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys, |
| One grey night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more |
| And Puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar. Oh! |
| Puff, the magic... |
| His head was bent in sorrow green scales fell like rain, |
| Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane, |
| Without his lifelong friend Puff could not be brave |
| So Puff that mighty dragon, sadly slipped into his cave. Oh! |
| Puff, the magic... |
| D7 | G7 | C | F | C | G7 | C | |
| ... in a | land called | Ho - nah - | Le | - | - | - | -e. |

| - You raise the blade, - You make the change - You rearange me till I´m sane. |
| - You lock the door, -And throw away the key |
| - There´s someone in my head but it´s not me. |
| - And if the cloud bursts thunder in your ear, - You shout and no one seems to hear, |
| - And if the band you´re in starts playin´diff´rent tunes, |
| -I´ll see you on the dark side of the moon. |

| G | |
| Do you think you can | tell? |
| And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts, |
| hot ashes for trees hot air for a cool breeze. |
| Cold comfort for change. And did you exchange |
| A walk in a part of the war |
| For a lead role in a cage. |

| We skipped the light, fan | dango, | And turned cartwheels 'cross the | floor. |
| G | Em | G7 | C | Am | Em | |
| I was feeling kind of | seasick, | And the crowd called out for | more. |

| When we called out for an | other | drink | The waiter brought a | tray: |

| C | Am | F | Dm | G | Em | G7 | C | F | G | F | G7 | |
| C | Am | F | Dm | |
| She said "There is no | reason, | And the truth is plain to | see," |

| But I wandered through my | playing | cards, | And would not let her | be! |
| F | Dm | G | Em | G7 | |
| One of sixteen vestal | virgins, | Who were leaving for the | coast |

235. 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 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

| And if you take more of those - You will get an overdose |
| No more running to the shelter - Of a mother's little helper |

| I rode a tank, held a general's rank, when the blitzkrieg raged, and the bodies stank. |
| Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name, |

| I watched with glee how your kings and queens fought for ten decades for the gods they made. |
| I shouted out: "Who killed the Kennedys?", when after all, it was you and me. |
| Let me please introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste, |
| And I lay traps for troubadours, who get killed before they reach Bombay. |

| So if you meet me have some courtesy, have sympathy and some taste. |
| Use all your well-learned politesse, or I'll lay your soul to waste. |

| I | saw her today at the re | ception, | - a glass of wine in her | hand |

| I | knew she was gonna meet her con | nection, - at her | feet was a footloose | man |
| C | F | C | F | |
| You | can't always get what you | want, You | can't always get what you | want |

| You | can't always get what you | want, |
| D | F | C | F | C | Cadd9 | C | F | Fadd9 | F | |
| But if you | try sometimes, you just might | find, you get what you | need! |
| I went down to the demonstration, - To get my fair share of abuse. |
| Singing: "We're gonna vent our frustration! - If we don't we're gonna blow a fivty amp fuse!" |
| You can't always get what you want, You can't always get what you waant, |
| You can't always get what you want, |
| But if you try sometimes, you just might find, you get what you need! |
| I went down to the Chelsea Drug Store, - To get your prescription filled. |
| I was standing in line with Mister Jimmy, - And man did he look pretty ill! |
| We decided that we would have a soda, - my favorite flavour - cherry red. |
| I sung my song to Mister Jimmy, - and he said one word to me and that was "dead". |
| I said: You can't always get what you want, You can't always get what you waant, |
| You can't always get what you want, |
| But if you try sometimes, you just might find, you get what you need! |

| I saw her today at the reception, - in her glass was a bleeding man. |
| She was practiced at the art of deception, - I could tell by her bloodstained hands. |
| You can't always get what you want, You can't always get what you waant, |
| You can't always get what you want, |
| But if you try sometimes, you just might find, you get what you need! |

| 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 |

Bob Seger / Bob Seger: Back in '72 (1973)
| Em | |
| On a long and lonely highway, east of Omaha, |
| D | |
| You can | listen to the engine, moanin' out as one long song. |
| A | Em | |
| You can | think about the woman, or the girl you knew the night | before; |
| And your thoughts will soon be wandering the way they always do. |
| D | |
| When you're | riding sixteen hours and there's nothing much to do, |
| A | Em | |
| You | don't feel much like travelin', you just wish the trip was | through. |
| D | Em | |
| But here I | am, on the | road again. |
| D | Em | |
| Here I | am, up on | stage. |
| D | A | |
| Here I | go, playing the | star again. |
| C | D | Em | |
| There I | go, | turn the | page. |
| Em | |
| You walk into a restaurant, strung out from the road |
| D | |
| And you | feel the eyes upon you, as you're shaking off the cold. |
| A | Em | |
| You | pretend it doesn't bother you, but you just want to | explode, |
| Em | |
| Sometimes you hear 'em talkin', other times you can't. |
| D | |
| All the | same old cliches, is that a woman or a man. |
| A | Em | |
| And you | always seem outnumbered, you dare not make a | stand. |
| But here I am, on the road again. - Here I am, up on stage. |
| Here I go, playing the star again. - There I go, turn the page. |
| Em | |
| Out there in the spotlight, you're a million miles away. |
| D | |
| Every ounce of energy you try to give away, |
| A | Em | |
| And the | sweat pours from your body like the music that you | play. |
| Em | |
| Later on that evening, as you lie awake in bed, |
| D | |
| Echoes of the amplifiers ringin' in your head, |
| A | Em | |
| And you | smoke the day's last cigarette, remembering what she | said. |
| But here I am, on the road again. - Here I am, up on stage. |
| Here I go, playing the star again. - There I go, turn the page. |

| 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) |

| 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 | |
| Lie la | lie, Lie la | lie la lie la lie, Lie la | lie, |
| F | G | C | |
| Lie la | lie la la la | lie la la la la | lie. |
| C | Am | G | |
| Asking | only workman's wages I come looking for a | job - But I get no | offers, |
| Dm | G | C | |
| Just a | come-on from the | whores on Seventh | Avenue. |
| Am | G | F | |
| I do de | clare, there were | times when I was | so lonesome, |
| C | G | F | C | |
| I took some comfort | there. (La la | Lie, la la | lie lie la la | lie) |
| C | Am | G | |
| Then I'm | laying out my winter clothes and wishing I was | gone, Going | home; |
| Dm | G | C | Am | G | |
| Where the | New York City | winters aren't | bleeding me | Leading me, going | home. |
| C | Am | |
| In the | clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his | trade, |
| G | G7 | |
| And he | carries a reminder of | ev'ry glove that laid him down |
| C | Am | C | Am | |
| Or | cut him till he | cried out in his | anger and his | shame: |

| "I am | leaving, I am | leaving, But the fighter still re | mains". |

299. 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... |

306. Pancho and Lefty
Townes van Zandt
| C | G | |
| Living on the road, my friend, | is gonna keep you free and clean; |
| F | C | G | |
| Now you wear your skin like iron and your | breath is as hard as | kerosene. |
| F | C | F | |
| You weren't your mama's only boy, but her | favorite one it | seems - |
| C | F | C | G | F | Am | G | C | |
| She be | gan to cry when you | said | good | bye - and | sank into your | dreams. |
| C | G | |
| Pancho was a bandit boy, | his horse was fast as polished steel; |
| F | C | G | |
| He wore his gun outside his pants | for all the honest | world to feel. |
| F | C | F | |
| Pancho met his match you know on the | deserts down in | Mexico |
| C | F | C | G | F | Am | G | F | |
| Nobody heard his | dy | ing | words, ah but | that's the way it | goes. |
| F | C | F | |
| And | all the Federales say - | they could have had him | any day; |
| C | F | C | G | F | Am | G | C | |
| They | only let him | hang | a | round - out of | kindness, I sup | pose. |
| C | G | |
| Lefty, he can't sing the blues | all night long like he used to. |
| F | C | G | |
| The dust that Pancho bit down south | ended up in | Lefty's mouth; |
| F | C | F | |
| The day they laid poor Pancho low, | Lefty split for | Ohio |
| C | F | C | G | G | Am | G | F | |
| Where he got the | bread | to | go, there | ain't nobody | knows |
| And all the Federales say - they could have had him any day; |
| They only let him slip away - out of kindness, I suppose. |
| C | G | |
| Well the boys tell how Pancho fell, and | Lefty's living in a cheap hotel |
| F | C | G | |
| The desert's quiet and Cleveland's cold, | and so the story | ends we're told. |
| F | C | F | |
| Pancho needs your prayers, it's true, but | save a few for | Lefty too |
| C | F | C | G | F | Am | G | F | |
| He just did what he | had | to | do, and | now he's growing | old. |
| A few gray Federales say they could have had him any day; |
| They only let him go so wrong - out of kindness, I suppose. |
| A few gray Federales say... |
307. Waiting Around to Die
Townes Van Zandt / Townes Van Zandt: Townes Van Zandt (1969)
| Am | Dm | |
| Sometimes I don't know where this dirty | road is taking me, |
| Am | Em | |
| Some | times I don't even know the reason | why. |
| Am | Dm | |
| But I | guess I'll keep on gamblin', lots of | booze and lots of ramblin', |
| Am | Em | Am | |
| It's | easier than just | waitin' around to | die. |
| Oh one time, friends, I had a Ma, even had a Pa, |
| Well he beat her with a belt once 'cause she cried! |
| She told him to take care of me, headed down to Tennessee; |
| Well it's easier than just waitin' around to die. |
| I came of age and I found a girl in a Tuscaloosa bar, |
| Oh, she cleaned me out and hid it on the sly! |
| Well, I tried to kill the pain, I bought some wine and hopped a train; |
| It seemed easier than just to wait around to die. |
| And my friend said he knew where some easy money was, |
| We robbed a man and brother did we fly! |
| The posse caught up with me and drug me back to Muskogee, |
| And it's two long years waiting around to die. |
| Oh, but now I'm out of prison; got me a friend at last. |
| He don't drink, or steal, or cheat, or lie! |
| Oh, his name is codeine, he's the nicest thing I've seen - |
| And together we're gonna wait around to die, |
| Yeah, together we're gonna wait around to die! |

| Maybe he'll look around himself and say: "Now it's time for the judgement day!" |
| In the year 85-10 god is gonna shake his mighty hand. |

| Dm | A# | F | C | |
| Do you | know what's worth | fighting | for? |
| Dm | A# | F | C | |
| When it's | not worth | dying | for |
| Dm | A# | F | C | |
| Does it | take your | breath | away? |
| A# | C | |
| And you | feel yourself suffo | cating |
| Does the pain weigh out the pride? |
| And you look for a place to hide? |
| Did someone break your heart inside? |
| You're in ruins... |
| F | C | Dm | |
| One, | twenty-one | guns |
| C | A# | F | C | |
| Lay down your | arms, | Give up the | fight! |
| F | C | Dm | |
| one, | twenty-one | guns |
| C | A# | F | C | A# | |
| Throw up your | arms | into the | sky; You and | I. |
| When you're at the end of the road, |
| and you lost all sense of control... |
| And your thoughts have taken their toll, |
| when your mind breaks the spirit of your soul... |
| Your faith walks on broken glass, |
| and the hangover doesn't pass... |
| Nothing's ever built to last, |
| you're in ruins... |
| One, twenty-one guns... |
BRIDGE:
| Dm | A# | F | C | Dm | A# | F | A | |
| Did you | try | to live on your | own, | when you | burned down the | house and | home? |
| Dm | A# | F | A | A# | C | |
| Did you | stand too | close to the | fire? Like a | liar looking for | forgiveness from a stone |

| When it's time to live and let die, |
| and you can't get another try |
| Something inside this heart has died, |

354. Steal My Kisses

| I put into Nashville, Tennessee |
| But you wouldn't even come around to see me |
| And since you're headin' up to Carolina |
| You know I gonna be right there behind you |
| 'Cause I always have to steal my kisses from you |
| Always have to steal my kisses from you |
| Always have to steal my kisses from you |
| Always have to steal my kisses from you |
| Now I love to feel that warm southern rain |
| Just to hear it fall is the sweetest sounding thing |
| And to see it fall on your simple country dress |
| It's like heaven to me I must confess |
| 'Cause I always have to steal my kisses from you |
| Always have to steal my kisses from you |
| Always have to steal my kisses from you |
| Always have to steal my kisses from you |
| Now I've been hangin' around you for days |
| But when I lean in you just turn your head away |
| I know you didn't mean that |
| She said I love the way you think but I hate the way you act |
| 'Cause I always have to steal my kisses from you |
| Always have to steal my kisses from you |
| Always have to steal my kisses from you |
| Always have to steal my kisses from you |
| Always have to steal my kisses from you |
| Always have to steal my kisses from you |
| Always have to steal my kisses from you |
| Always have to steal my kisses from you |

| D | D7 | G | D | Hm | A | F | D | |
| I | once was | lost, but | now I’m | found, was | blind but | now | I | see. |
| ‘T was grace that taught my heart to fear, and grace my fears relieved. |
| How precious did that grace appear, the hour I first believed. |
| Thro’s many dangers, toils and snares, I have already come, |
| ‘Tis grace hath bro’t me safe thus far, and grace will lead me home. |
| How sweet the name of Jesus sounds, in a believers ear. |
| It sooths his sorrows, heals the wounds, and drives away his fear. |
| Must Jesus bear the cross alone and all the world go free? |
| No, there’s a cross for ev’ry one and there’s a cross for me. |

| Crying: " | Cockles | and | mussels, a | live, a | live | oh!" |
| She was a fishmonger and sure 'twas no wonder, |

| Crying: "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh!" |
| "Alive, alive oh! Alive, alive oh!" |
| Crying: "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh!" |
| She died of a fever and no one could save her, |

| G | Em | |
| Männer sind | Schweine - traue ihnen | nicht, mein Kind |
| Am | C9 | D | |
| sie wollen | alle das eine - weil | Männer nun mal so | sind |
| Ein Mann fühlt sich erst dann als Mann wenn er es Dir besorgen kann. |
| Er lügt, daß sich die Balken biegen nur, um Dich ins Bett zu kriegen! |
| Und dann am nächsten Morgen weiß er nicht einmal mehr, wie Du heisst. |
| Rücksichtslos und ungehemmt; Gefühle sind ihm völlig fremd. |
| Für ihn ist Liebe gleich Samenverlust - Mädchen, sei Dir dessen stets bewußt! |
| Männer sind Schweine - frage nicht nach Sonnenschein. |
| Ausnahmen gibt's leider keine - in jedem Mann steckt auch immer ein Schwein. |
| Männer sind Säue - glaube ihnen nicht ein Wort. |
| Sie schwör'n Dir ewige Treue - und dann am nächsten Morgen sind sie fort. |
| yeah yeah yeah |
(Bridge mit G-Dur als Begleitung)
| Männer? diese schrecklichen, haarigen Biester, die alles |
| antatschen müssen und dabei wollen sie alle nur dasselbe von einem Mädchen. |
| Und falls Du doch den Fehler machst und Dir 'nen Ehemann anlachst |
| mutiert dein Rosenkavalier bald nach der Hochzeit auch zum Tier. |
| Da zeigt er dann sein wahres Ich ganz unrasiert und widerlich. |
| Trinkt Bier, sieht fern und wird schnell fett und rülpst und furzt im Ehebett! |
| Dann hast du'n KingKong zum Ehemann. Drum sag ich Dir (denk bitte stets daran): |
| Männer sind Schweine - traue ihnen nicht, mein Kind. |
| sie wollen alle nur das eine - für wahre Liebe sind sie blind. |
| Männer sind Ratten - begegne ihnen nur mit List. |
| Sie wollen alles begatten was nicht bei drei auf den Bäumen ist. |
| Männer sind Schweine - frage nicht nach Sonnenschein. |
| Ausnahmen gibt's leider keine, in jedem Mann steckt auch immer ein Schwein! |
| Männer sind Autos nur ohne Reserverad... |

400. Hein von'ne Werft
Mike Krüger
| G | C | |
| Ich | reit nu' schon drei Tage in die | Innenstadt herum |
| D | G | |
| und | finde keinen Parkplatz; es wird mir bald zu | dumm. |
| G | C | |
| Wir | wollten in die U-Bahn, doch | da gab's gleich Rabbatz. |
| D | G | |
| Für mein | Pferd war da drin kein | Platz. |
| G | C | |
| Ich | rief sofort den Schaffner und | griff nach mein' Colt, |
| D | G | |
| Der | Schaffner meint sogleich er hat's nich so | gewollt. |
| G | C | |
| So | bekam ich ganz gewaltlos so | gar ein' Platz zum Sitzen, |
| D | G | |
| Und | braucht mir keine Kerbe in mein' Colt zu | ritzen. |
| C | G | D | G | |
| Denn ich bin | Hein, Hein von'ne | Werft; und ich | kann's nu' ma' nich' ab wenn man mir | nervt. |
| C | D | G | |
| Und wenn mir einer nervt zähl ich bis | acht - Und dann | kriegt er in die Schnauze bis er | lacht. |
| Wir kamen an'ne Kreuzung und da gab's einen Knall |
| Ich flog aus meinem Sattel; mein Pferd das kam zu Fall. |
| Das Auto das uns rammte war sehr stark demoliert |
| Obwohl der Fahrer meinte er hätt's erst grad' poliert. |
| Dann riss er gleich sein Maul auf und rief die Polizei, |
| Ich schlug nur meine Faust d'rauf; der Schrei war schnell vorbei. |
| Da liegt er nun im Kofferraum und kommt nicht mehr heraus, |
| Nach dreieinviertel Stunden kam er ins Krankenhaus. |
| Denn ich bin Hein, Hein von'ne Werft; und ich kann's nu' ma' nich' ab wenn man mir nervt. |
| Und wenn mir einer nervt zähl ich bis acht - Und dann kriegt er in die Schnauze bis er lacht. |
| Wir kam' auch mal mach Hause voll Ruhm und voller Stolz |
| Das erste was mir traf - war Ernas Nudelholz. |
| Es traf mir hart am Hinterkopf und warf mich an die Tür. |
| Sie sagt: "Nu' komm doch rein du armer Tropf, du stinkst ja noch nach Bier!" |
| Ich sah nur noch ihr rechtes Knie holt aus zum Pferdekuß |
| Dann sah ich nur noch Sterne; ich dacht mich streift 'n Bus. |
| Denn ich bin Hein, Hein von'e Werft; Und sie kann's nu' ma' nich ab wenn ich ihr nerv'. |
| Und wenn ich ihr ma' nerv' zählt sie bis acht - Und dann krieg ich in die Schnauze bis ich lach. |

| Ich | traf sie in 'nem Imbiß in Dortmund-Nord |
| A | E | A | Asus4 | |
| Es | roch stark nach Schaschlik und 'n bißchen nach Abort - Und sie hieß | Lola - L.O.L.A. | Lo | la. |
| E | |
| Ich | sagte: Darf ich bitten oder woll'n wir erst tanzen? |
| A | D | |
| Sie wurde | rot und rührte - wie er | tappte Emanzen - in ihrer |
| E | A | D | C | C////// | D/ | E | |
| Cola; C.O.L.A. | Cola, | la la la | la Lola. |
| Nun seh ich nicht grad aus wie Arnold Mitteregger – |
| Ich führe, sagte sie, das klang wie Alfred Dregger, meine Lola; L.O.L.A. Lola. |
| Ich bin ja ziemlich blöd, aber so blöd bin ich nicht: |
| Sie hatte Haare auf den Zähnen und auch mitten im Gesicht, oh meine |
| Lola; L.O.L.A. Lola, la la la la Lola. |
Bridge I
| B7 | F#7 | |
| Wir | tranken und kamen uns langsam abhanden, An der | Neonröhre hingen vergammelte Girlanden. |
| A | A7 | |
| Wenn ich | umfiel, baute sie mich immer wieder auf, Bis sie sagte: " | So, mein Sohn, jetzt gehn wir zu mir rauf!" |
| Wenn ich voll bin, bin ich kein Fall für Carmen |
| Doch sie nahm mich untern Arm, sie kannte kein Erbarmen, meine |
| Lola; la la la la Lola, la la la la Lola. |
| Lola; la la la la Lola, la la la la Lola. |
Bridge II
| A | E | B | A | E | B | A | E | B | |
| Ich | schrie: " | Laß mich | gehn!" - Sie | wollte | nicht | verstehn. -Sie | sagte: " | Nicht mit | mir!" |
| E | G#7 | C#m | B | B13 | E | |
| Ich sagte: " | Gut dann | eben | nicht." - | Und bestellte noch ein | Bier. |
| Ist das nun Liebe oder ist das nur ein schwacher Trost? |
| Ich sage immer was ich denke und ich sagte: Prost, auf dein Spezielles, Lola, L.O.L.A. Lola. |
| Girls heißen Alf und Boys heißen George, |
| nicht nur in London sondern jetzt auch schon in Dortmund-Nord - und er hieß |
| Lola, la la la la Lola. |
Bridge III
| B7 | F#7 | |
| Ich | war gerade erst zuhause ausgezogen, Ich | hatte noch niemals meine Mami belogen, |
| A | A7 | |
| Lola | lächelte nur und faßte mich an - Und sagte: " | Ich bin es längst – heut wirst auch du ein Mann!" |
| Ich werd gern zur Brust genommen, also bin ich wohl einer. |
| Ganz sicher bin ich nicht, doch das ist ja heute keiner, höchstens |
| Lola, L.O.L.A. Lola la la la la Lola. |
| Lola (laß gut sein Günter, ich muß noch fahrn) lalalala Lola, lalalala Lola. |

| Bis die Lichter nach und | nach | ganz im Regengrau ver | schwimmen. |

406. Die Diplomatenjagd
Reinhard Mey
| C | G | C | Am | C | G | |
| Auf Schloß Hohenhecke zu | Nieder | lahr -- Es | hat so | eben ge | tagt -- |
| C | G | C | Am | C | G | |
| Lädt | Freiherr Bodo, wie | jedes | Jahr, zur | Diplo | maten | jagd. |
| C | F | C | |
| Durch | Felder und Auen auf | haarige | Sauen, |
| F | C | |
| In Wiesen und Büschen den | Hirsch zu er | wischen, |
| F | C | |
| Den hat Freiherr Bodo für | teures | Geld |
| Am | C | G | C | |
| Am | Vorabend | selber hier | aufge | stellt. |
| Schon bricht es herein in Wald und Flur, das diplomatische Corps, |
| Die Ritter vom Orden der Konjunktur, zwei Generäle zuvor. |
| Bei Hörnerquinten, mit Prügeln und Flinten. Es folgt mit Furore ein Monsignore. |
| Selbst den klapprigen Ahnherrn von Kieselknirsch |
| - Trägt man auf der Bahre mit auf die Pirsch! |
| Es knallen die Büchsen, ein Pulverblitz, es wird soeben gesagt, |
| Daß Generalleutnant von Zitzewitz den Verlust seines Dackels beklagt. |
| Der Attaché Mehring erlegt einen Hering - Den tiefgefroren, die Kugeln durchbohren, |
| Noch in Frischhaltepackung, das ist unerhört! |
| Ein Keiler ergibt sich, vom Lärm ganz verstört. |
| Bewegt sich dort etwas am Waldesrand? Der Ahnherr sieht nicht mehr recht. |
| Das kriegt kurzerhand eins übergebrannt! Denn schießen kann er nicht schlecht, |
| Ja, ganz ohne Zweifel: Er schießt wie der Teufel! |
| - Man trägt ihn ganz leise bis dicht an die Schneise. |
| Man reicht ihm die Büchse, es prasselt das Schrot: |
| So findet der Außenminister den Tod. |
| Daß der Ahnherr daraufhin noch "Waidmannsheil" schreit, hat alle peinlichst berührt. |
| Ihm wird ein Protestschreiben überreicht, besonders scharf formuliert! |
| Doch muß man dem Alten zugute halten: Das war, bei Hubertus, ein prächtiger Blattschuß, |
| Und daß er das Wort Diplomatenjagd, |
| Nur etwas zu wörtlich genommen hat! |
| Die Nacht bricht herein, und Schloß Hohenhecke bietet ein friedliches Bild. |
| Der Monsignore segnet die Strecke von leblosem, greisem Wild. |
| Schon fast vergessen, will doch keiner essen: |
| Die Veteranen, die zähen Fasanen, Die Ente mit Rheuma, den Keiler mit Asthma. |
| Die Jagd wird begossen, und dann wird beschlossen: |
| Der Krempel wird, weil man hier großzügig denkt, Dem nächsten Armenhaus geschenkt! |
| So wird auch den Ärmsten der Segen zuteil: Es lebe das Weidwerk, dreimal Waidmannsheil! |

| Denkst | du vielleicht | grad an mich, dann | singe ich ein | Lied für dich, |
| F | Gm | Bb | C | |
| von | neunundneunzig | Luftballons und | dass so was von | so was kommt. |
| Neunundneunzig Luftballons auf ihrem weg zum Horizont. |
| Hielt man für UFOs aus dem All, darum schickte ein General |
| 'ne Fliegerstaffel hinterher, Alarm zu geben wenn's so wär. |
| Dabei war'n dort am Horizont nur neunundneunzig Luftballons. |
| Neunundneunzig Düsenflieger, Jeder war ein großer Krieger, |
| hielten sich für Capain Kirk, das gab ein großes Feuerwerk. |
| Die Nachbarn haben nichts gerafft und fühlten sich gleich angemacht, |
| Dabei schoß man am Horizont auf neunundneunzig Luftballons. |
| Neunundneunzig Kriegsminister Streichholz und Benzinkanister, |
| hielten sich für schlaue Leute, witterten schon fette Beute, |
| riefen Krieg und wollten Macht, man wer hätte das gedacht, |
| dass es einmal so weit kommt, wegen neunundneunzig Luftballons. |
| Neunundneunzig Jahre Krieg, ließen keinen Platz für Sieger. |
| Kriegsminister gibt‘s nicht mehr und auch keine Düsenflieger. |
| Heute zieh ich meine Runde, seh die Welt in Trümmern liegen, |
| hab 'nen Luftballon gefunden; denk an dich und lass ihn fliegen. |

416. Heute hier, morgen dort
Hannes Wader: 7 Lieder (1972)
| G | C | G | |
| Heute hier, morgen dort, bin kaum | da, muß ich | fort |
| Em | G | D | |
| hab mich | niemals des | wegen | beklagt, |
| G | C | G | |
| hab' es | selbst so gewählt, nie die | Jahre ge | zählt, |
| Em | D | G | |
| nie nach | gestern und | morgen ge | fragt. |
| D | C | G | |
| Manchmal | träume ich schwer, und dann | denk' ich, es | wär' |
| D | C | G | |
| Zeit zu | bleiben und nun was ganz | and'res zu | tun. |
| C | G | |
| So vergeht Jahr um Jahr und es | ist mir längst | klar, |
| Em | D | G | |
| dass nichts | bleibt, dass nichts | bleibt, wie es | war. |
| Das man mich kaum vermißt, schon nach Tagen vergißt, |
| wenn ich längst wieder anderswo bin, |
| stört und kümmert mich nicht, vielleicht bleibt mein Gesicht |
| doch dem ein' oder anderen im Sinn. |
| Manchmal träume ich schwer, und dann denk' ich, es wär' |
| Zeit zu bleiben und nun was ganz and'res zu tun. |
| So vergeht Jahr um Jahr und es ist mir längst klar, |
| daß nichts bleibt, dass nichts bleibt, wie es war. |
| Fragt mich einer, warum ich so bin, bleib ich stumm, |
| denn die Antwort darauf fällt mir schwer, |
| denn was neu ist, wird alt, und was gestern noch galt, |
| stimmt schon heut oder morgen nicht mehr. |
| Manchmal träume ich schwer, und dann denk' ich, es wär' |
| Zeit zu bleiben und nun was ganz and'res zu tun. |
| So vergeht Jahr um Jahr und es ist mir längst klar, |
| daß nichts bleibt, dass nichts bleibt, wie es war. |

417. Die Moritat von Mackie Messer
B.Brecht / K. Weill (1920)
| C6 | Dm | G7 | C6 | |
| Und der | Haifisch der hat | Zähne, und die | trägt er im Ge | sicht, |
| Am | Dm | G7 | C6 | |
| Und Ma | cheath der hat ein | Messer, doch das | Messer sieht man | nicht. |
| Ach, es sind des Haifischs Flossen Rot, wenn dieser Blut vergießt! |
| Mackie Messer trägt 'nen Handschuh D'rauf man keine Untat liest. |
| An 'nem schönen blauen Sontag Liegt ein toter Mann am Strand. |
| Und ein Mensch geht um die Ecke Den man Mackie Messer nennt. |
| Und schmul Meier bleibt verschwunden Und so mancher reiche Mann. |
| Und sein Geld hat Mackie Messer Dem man nichts beweisen kann. |
| Jenny Towler ward gefunden mit 'nem Messer in der Brust. |
| Und am Kai geht Mackie Messer Der von allem nichts gewußt! |
| Und das große Feuer in Soho Sieben Kinder und ein Greis; |
| In der Menge Mackie Messer, den Man nichts fragt und der nichts weiß. |
| Und die minderjährige Witwe Deren Namen jeder weiß. |
| Wachte auf und war geschändet Mackie, welches war dein Preis? |
| Und die Fische, sie verschwinden Doch zum Kummer des Gerichts. |
| Man zitiert am End den Haifisch Doch der Haifisch weiß von nichts. |
| Und er kann sich nicht erinnern Und man kann nicht an ihn ran. |
| Denn ein Haifisch ist kein Haifisch Wenn man's nicht beweisen kann. |

425. Der musikalische Wasserhahn
Klaus W. Hoffmann / Hoffmann & Cochise: Wenn der Elefant in die Disco geht (1983)
| C | F | C | |
| Es | war einmal ein Wasserhahn, Der | tropfte pausen | los, |
| Am | G | G7 | |
| Und jeder der ihn | hörte fand Den | Rhythmus ganz fa | mos. |
| C | F | C | |
| Er | tropfte nicht nur einfach so, Wie's | jeder Hahn ver | steht |
| Am | C | G | C | |
| Sein Rhythmus war voll | Swing und Pep - Und | Musi | kali | tät. |
| C | F | C | |
| Tipi tipi | tup tup, tropft der Rhythmus; Tipi tipi | tup tup, immerzu. |
| C | F | C | G | C | |
| Tipi tipi | tup tup, tropft der Wasserhahn - Und | findet | keine | Ruh. |
| Die Tassen applaudierten, und das Handtuch rief entzückt: |
| "Dein Rhythmus, lieber Wasserhahn, klingt ja total verrückt." |
| Die Messer und die Gabeln tanzten quietschvergnügt umher, |
| Und auch dem alten Suppentopf gefiel der Rhythmus sehr. |
| Tipi tipi tup tup, tropft der Rhythmus; Tipi tipi tup tup, immerzu. |
| Tipi tipi tup tup, tropft der Wasserhahn - Und findet keine Ruh. |
| Der Flötenkessel tanzte mit und pfiff die Melodie, |
| Die Teller klapperten im Schrank mit sehr viel Phantasie. |
| Die Töpfe schepperten im Schrank, die Gläser klirrten leis, |
| Der Abfalleimer rülpste laut und drehte sich im Kreis |
| Tipi tipi tup tup, tropft der Rhythmus; Tipi tipi tup tup, immerzu. |
| Tipi tipi tup tup, tropft der Wasserhahn - Und findet keine Ruh. |
| Da sprach die alte Küchenuhr, daß ihr der Takt gefällt |
| und hat ihr Ticken auf den Wasserrhythmus umgestellt. |
| Auf einmal geht die Türe auf, der Klempner kam herein, |
| der Wasserhahn wurd' repariert und lies das Tropfen sein. |
| Tipi tipi tup tup, tropft der Rhythmus; Tipi tipi tup tup, immerzu. |
| Tipi tipi tup tup, tropft der Wasserhahn - Und findet keine Ruh. |
426. Wenn der Elefant in die Disco geht
Klaus W. Hoffmann / Hoffmann & Cochise: Wenn der Elefant in die Disco geht (1983)
| E | |
| Wenn der Elefant in die Disco geht, |
| B7 | E | |
| weißt du, wie er sich auf der | Tanzfläche dreht? |
| A | E | |
| Ganz | gemütlich setzt er einen vor den | andern Schuh |
| B | B7 | |
| und | schwingt seinen Rüssel im | Takt dazu: |
| E | A | B7 | E | |
| Eins, zwei, | drei und vier, der | Elefant ruft: "Kommt und | tanzt mit mir!" |
| A | B7 | E | |
| Fünf, sechs, | sieben, acht, und | alle haben mitge | macht. |
| Wenn der Bär in die Disco geht, |
| weißt du, wie er sich auf der Tanzfläche dreht? |
| Die Vordertatzen hebt er und brummt ganz leis |
| und dreht sich langsam um sich selbst im Kreis. |
| Eins, zwei, drei und vier, der Bär ruft: "Kommt und tanzt mit mir!" |
| Fünf, sechs, sieben, acht, und alle haben mitgemacht. |
| Wenn der Affe in die Disco geht, |
| weißt du, wie er sich auf der Tanzfläche dreht? |
| Er baumelt mit den Armen und hüpft ein Stück, |
| nach links und nach rechts, vor und wieder zurück. |
| Eins, zwei, drei und vier, der Affe ruft: "Kommt und tanzt mit mir!" |
| Fünf, sechs, sieben, acht, und alle haben mitgemacht. |
| Wenn das Stinktier in die Disco geht, |
| weißt du, wie es sich auf der Tanzfläche dreht? |
| Es bewegt sich sehr galant, und ein angenehmer Duft, |
| wie französisches Parfüm, erfüllt die Luft. |
| Eins, zwei, drei und vier, das Stinktier ruft: "Kommt und tanzt mit mir!" |
| Fünf, sechs, sieben, acht, und alle haben mitgemacht. |

| Da riefen alle Eskimos, wie wunderbar! |
| Und einer sprach: "Gemach, gemach. |
| Die Anne kocht uns Lebertran, an jedem Tag". Da flog sie... |
| Dann kam sie in die Wüste, und was war denn da? |
| Ein riesengroßer Löwe, der hungrig war. |
| Und da sprach er: Ich mag dich sehr, |
| Ich habe dich zum Fressen gern, Komm doch ein Stückchen näher! Da flog sie... |
| Dann kam sie in die Alpen, und was war denn da? |
| Da traf sie auch die Heidi, die beim Almöhi war. |
| Sie sprach zu ihr: Komm flieg mit mir. |
| Doch Heidi sprach: Ich war schon weg, Drum bleib' ich lieber hier. Da flog sie... |
| Da kam sie in den Schwarzwald, und was war denn da? |
| Da sprach ein Oberförster mit strohblondem Haar: |
| Du bist genau, die richtige Frau. |
| Du bringst mir die Pantoffeln für die Tagesschau. Da flog sie... |
| Sie kam nach Wanne-Eickel, und was war denn da? |

429. Der Hase Augustin
Fredrik Vahle / Christiane & Fredrik: die Rübe (1973)
| E | F#7 | B7 | |
| Es | war einmal ein Hase, der hieß Augustin und | lief unglaublich | schnell. |
| B7 | E | |
| Wenn | der so durch die Gegend lief und seine fixen | Haken schlug, |
| A | B7 | E | |
| dann | blieben alle | Leute stehn, um Augustin zu | sehn. |
| E | B7 | E | |
| Seht mal wer da | rennt, seht mal, wer da | rennt, |
| B | E | |
| das ist wohl der | Augustin, das Naturta | lent. |
| Augustin, der flitzte, sprang über manche Pfütze und aß gern Rosenkohl. |
| Doch kam der Gärtner angerannt, schon war der schnelle Hase weg, |
| der Gärtner stand im Rosenkohl und staunte gar nicht schlecht. |
| Dreimal Sapperment, dreimal Sapperment, |
| das ist wohl der Augustin, das Naturtalent. |
| Einmal kam ein Jäger, ein dicker, fetter Jäger, Herr Schlamm aus Düsseldorf, |
| der hatte sich 'ne Jagd gekauft und wollte jetzt auf Hasen gehen, |
| da kommt schon einer angerannt, Herr Schlamm hat ihn erkannt: |
| Dreimal Sapperment ... |
| Herr Schlamm nahm seine Flinte, die knallte los und stank, |
| schon flitzt der Hase weg. Die Kugel hinterher doch der Hase war zu schnell, |
| die Kugel fiel in’n Dreck und Herr Schlamm, der schimpfte sehr: |
| Dreimal Sapperment ... |
| Augustin war stolz, er trug die Nase hoch und einen Orden auch. |
| Er wurde Landesmeister gar im großen Zickzackdauerlauf |
| und bei der Ehrenrunde sangen alle Mann ganz laut: |
| Seht mal wer da rennt ... |

| A | D | A | |
| Jippi- | jeh, jippi- | jeh, jippi- | jeh, jeh, |
| A7 | D | |
| jeh, jeh, | jeh. |
| Der Floh tat Jim begleiten, Er hatte Spaß am Reiten; |
| Und ging der Jim aufs Klo, Dann tat das auch sein Floh. |
| Jippi-jeh... |
| Oft macht das Reiten Mühe, Jim hütet hundert Kühe. |
| Da kommt er oft in Schweiß Und ruft: Ach, was fürn Scheiß. |
| Jippi-jeh... |
| Am Tschikitschoba-See Ruft Jim sein Jippijeh. |
| Doch einst am Lagerfeuer Da wars ihm nicht geheuer. |
| Jippi-jeh... |
| Im ersten Morgengrauen Da wollt man Jim verhauen. |
| Man schlich zu Jimmy fix, der schlief und merkte nix. |
| Mmmh-Mmmh, mmmh mmh mmh mmh mmmh |
| Der Floh, der hört es trappeln Und tat sich gleich berappeln |
| Und stach als echter Floh Den Cowboy in den Po. |
| Jippi-jeh... |
| Der Jim stand auf und fluchte, Als er das Weite suchte. |
| So wars nichts mit Verhauen Im ersten Morgengrauen. |
| Jippi-jeh... |
| Der Cowboy Jim aus Texas Sitzt oft bei seiner Oma. |
| Und beide schaun sich dann im Fernsehn' Cowboyfilme an. |
| Jippi-jeh... |
| Jippi-jeh... |
