Amazing Grace Traditional

G C GA- | mazing | Grace, how | sweet the | sound

G D GThat | saved a | wretch like | me |

G C GI | once was | lost but | now am | found

G D GWas | blind but | now I | see |

’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,And grace my fears relieved;

How precious did that grace appearThe hour I first believed!

Through many dangers, toils and snares,I have already come;’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,And grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me,His Word my hope secures;He will my Shield and Portion be,As long as life endures.

Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,And mortal life shall cease,I shall possess, within the veil,A life of joy and peace.

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,The sun forbear to shine;But God, who called me here below,Will be forever mine.

When we’ve been there ten thousand years,Bright shining as the sun,We’ve no less days to sing God’s praiseThan when we’d first begun.



Angel Band

G C GMy latest sun is sinking fast

D GMy race is nearly run

C G

My longest trials now are pastD G

My triumph has begun

chorus:

D GOh come Angel BandD GCome and around me stand

C GBear me away on your snow white wings

D GTo my immortal homeC GBear me away on your snow white wings

D GTo my immortal home

Oh bear my loving heart to himWho bled and died for meWhose blood now cleanses from all sins

And gives me victory.

chorus

I know I'm near the holy ranksOf friends and kindred dear I brush the dew on Jordan's banksThe crossing must be near

chorus I've almost reached my heavenly homeMy spirit loudly singsThe holy ones behold they comeI hear the noise of wings.

chorus



Angel From Montgomery John Prine

D G D G

I am an old woman named after my mother

D G A D

My old man is another child that’s grown old

D G D G

If dreams were thunder lightning was desire

D G A D

This old house would have burnt down a long time ago

(Chorus)

D C G D

Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery

D C G D

Make me a poster of an old rodeo

D C G D

Just give me one thing that I can hold on to

D C G D

To believe in this living is just a hard way to go

D G D G

When I was a young girl well, I had me a cowboy

D G A D

He wasn’t much to look at, just free rambling man

D G D G

But that was such a long time and no matter how I try

D G A D

The years just flow by like a broken down dam.

(Chorus)

D G D G

There’s flies in the kitchen I can hear all their buzzing

D G A D

And I ain’t done nothing since I woke up today.

D G D G

How the hell can a person go to work in the morning

D G A D

And come home in the evening and have nothing to say.

(Chorus)



Blowing In The Wind Bob Dylan

G C G Em How many roads must a man walk downG C D

Before you call him a man?G C G Em How many seas must a white dove sailG C DBefore she sleeps in the sand?G C G Em How many times must the cannonballs flyG C DBefore they're forever banned?

Chorus:C D G/F# Em The answer my friends is blowing in the wind

C D GThe answer is blowing in the wind

Repeat this pattern for the next two verses:

How many years can a mountain existBefore it's washed to the sea?How many years must some people existBefore they're allowed to be free? And how many times can a man turn his head And pretend that he just doesn't see? (the answer)

C D G/F# Em The answer my friends is blowing in the windC D GThe answer is blowing in the wind

How many time can a man look upBefore he sees the sky?How many ears must one man haveBefore he can hear people cry? And how many deaths will it take 'til he knowsThat too many people have died?

C D G/F# Em The answer my friends is blowing in the windC D Em The answer is blowing in the windC D G/F# Em Oh the answer my friends is blowing in the windC D C G C G (quick-change ending)The answer is blowing in the wind..



"City of New Orleans" Steve Goodman

[D]Riding on the [A]City of New Or[D]leans,

[Bm]Illinois Central, [G]Monday morning [D]rail, [A][D]Fifteen cars and fi[A]fteen restless [D]riders,Three con[Bm]ductors, and t[A]wenty five sacks of [D]mail.

We're all [Bm]out on the southbound odyssey,

As the [F#m]train pulls out of Kankakee,

And [A]rolls past the houses, farms and [E]fields.[Bm]Passing towns that have no name,

And [F#m]freight yards full of old black men,

And the [A]graveyards of rusted automo[D]biles.

{c:Chorus:}

[G]Good morning Am[A]erica, how a[D]re you?Say [Bm]don't you know me, [G]I'm your native [D]son. [A]

I'm the [D]train they call the [A]City of New [Bm]Orleans,

I'll be gon[C]e five [G]hundred miles[A] when the day is[D]done.

Dealing card games with the old men in the club cars, A penny a point, there ain't no one keeping score.

Won't you pass the paper bag that holds the bottle,

You can feel the wheels rumbling through 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,

there rocking to the gentle beat,

And the rhythm of the rails is all they dream.

{Chorus.}

Midnight on the City of New Orleans,Changing cars in Memphis, Tennessee.

Halfway home, and we'll be there by morning,Through the Mississippi darkness, rolling down to the sea.

Then all the towns and people seem To fade into a bad dream,

The old 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.

{Chorus:}

Singin' 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



Dark as a Dungeon Merle Travis

Come [A] listen you fellers so [D] young and [E] fine

And [A] seek not your fortunes in the [D] dark dreary [A] mine

It will [A] form as a habit and [D] seep in your [E] soul

Till the [A] stream of your blood runs as [D] black as the [A] coal

Where it's [E] dark as a dungeon and [D] damp as the [A] dew

Where the [E]danger is double and [D] pleasures are [A] few

Where the rain never falls and the [D] sun never [E] shines

Where it's [A] dark as a dungeon way [D] down in the [A] mines

There's [A] many a man I've [D] known in my [E] day

Who [A] lived just to labor his [D] life a [A] way

Like a [A] fiend with his dope and a [D] drunkard his [E] wine

A [A] man will have lust for the [D] lure of the [A] mine

* Refrain…Break

The [A] midnight, the morning, or the [D] middle of the [E] day

It's the [A] same to the miner who [D] labors a [A] way

Where the [A] demons of death often [D] come by sur [E] prise

One [A] fall of the slate and you’re [D] buried a [A] live

* Refrain…Break

I [A] hope when I'm gone and the [D] ages shall [E] roll

My [A] body will blacken and [D] turn into [A] coal

Then I'll [A] look from the door of my [D] heavenly [E] home

And [A] pity the miner a- [D] diggin' my [A] bones

* Refrain

Long Black Veil

G

Ten years ago on a cold dark night

D C G

There was someone killed 'neath the town hall light

GThere were few at the scene and they all did agree

D C G

That the man who ran looked a lot like me

C G C G

She walks these hills in a long black veil

C G C G

She visits my grave where the night winds wail

G B7 C G

Nobody knows, nobody sees

C D G

Nobody knows but me

G

The judge said "Son, what is your alibi?

D C G

If you were somewhere else then you won't have to die"

G

I spoke not a word although it meant my life

D C G

I had been in the arms of my best friend's wife

G

The scaffold was high and eternity neared

D C G

She stood in the crowd and she shed not a tear

G

But sometimes at night when the cold wind moans

D C G

In a long black veil she cries o’er my bones

SOUNDS OF SILENCE

Am G Hello darkness, my old friend,

Am

I've come to talk with you again,

F C

Because a vision softly creeping,

F C Left it's seeds while I was sleeping,

F C And the vision that was planted in my brain

Am

Still remains

G Am Within the sound of silence.

In restless dreams I walked alone

Narrow streets of cobblestone,

'neath the halo of a street lamp,

I turned my collar to the cold and damp

When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light

That split the nightAnd touched the sound of silence.

And in the naked light I saw

Ten thousand people, maybe more.

People talking without speaking,

People hearing without listening,

People writing songs that voices never share

And no one dare

Disturb the sound of silence.

Fools said i, you do not know

Silence like a cancer grows.

Hear my words that I might teach you,

Take my arms that I might reach you.

But my words like silent raindrops fell,

And echoed

In the wells of silence

Am G And the people bowed and prayed

Am To the neon God they made.

F C And the sign flashed out it's warning,

F C In the words that it was forming.

F

And the sign said, the words of the prophets

Am C Are written on the subway walls

C And tenement halls.

Back with my wife in Tennessee, one day she said to me"Virgil, quick come see, there goes the Robert E Lee."Now. I don't mind choppin' wood, and I don't care if themoney's no goodYou take what you need and you leave the rest, but theyshould never have taken the very best.

Refrain

Like my father before me, I'm a workin' manLike my brother above me, I took a rebel standHe was eighteen, proud and brave, but a Yankee laid him in

his graveI swear by the blood beneath my feet, you can't raise aCain back up when he's in defeat.

Wagon Wheel Capo 1

Intro: G D Em C, G D C C

G D

Headed down south to the land of the PineEm C

I'm thumbin' my way into North Caroline

G D C

Staring up the road and (I) pray to God I see head lights

G D

I made it down the coast in seventeen hours

Em C

Pickin me a bouquet of dogwood flowers and I'm

G D C

Hopin for Raleigh I can see my baby tonight

Chorus:

G D

So rock me mama like a wagon wheel

Em C

Rock me mama any way you feel

G D C

Hey mama rock me

G D

Rock me mama like the wind and the rain

Em C

Rock me mama like a south bound train

G D C

Hey mama rock me

Runnin' from the cold up in New EnglandI was born to be a fiddler in an old time string band

My baby plays the guitar,

I pick the banjo now

Oh north country winters keep-a gettin' me low

An'I lost my money playin' poker so i had to up and leave

But I ain't turning back

To live that old life no more

Chorus

Walkin' to the south out of Roanoake

I caught a trucker out of Philly had a nice long toke

But he's a-headed west from the Cumberland Gap

Johnson City Tennessee

I gotta get a move on before for the sun

I hear my baby callin my name and i know that she's the only one

And if i die in Raleigh

At least i will die free

Chorus



Waltzing Mathilda

C G7 Am F

Once a jolly swagman camped beside a billabong

C G7

Under the shade of a coolibah tree,

C G7 Am F And he sang as he watched and waited 'till his billy boiled,

C Am G7 C

"You'll come a waltzing, Ma thilda, with me."

Chorus after each verse:

C F

"Waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda,

C Am G7

You'll come a waltzing, Mathilda, with me."

C G7 Am F

And he sang as he watched and waited 'till his billy boiled,C Am G7 C

"You'll come a waltzing, Ma thilda, with me."

Down came a jumpbuck to drink at the billabong,

Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee,

And he sang as he stowed that jumpbuck in his tucker bag,

"You'll come a waltzing, Mathilda, with me."

Up rode the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred,

Down came the troopers, one, two, three.

"Where's that jolly jumpbuck you've got in your tucker bag?

You'll come a waltzing, Mathilda, with me."

Up jumped the swagman, sprang into the billabong,

"You'll never catch me alive," said he.

And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong,

"You'll come a waltzing, Mathilda, with me."



When I'm Sixty-Four Lennon/McCartney

A E7When I get older, losing my hair, many years from now,

Awill you still be sending me a Valentine, birthday greetings, bottle of wine?

A7 DIf I'd been out 'till quarter to three, would you lock the door?

F7 A F#7 B7 E7 AWill you still need me, will you still feed me, When I'm sixty-four?

F#m E F#mHmm------mmm------mmmh.

F#m Db7You'll be older, too.

F#m Bm D E7 A Aaah, and if you say the word, I could stay with you.

I could be handy, mending a fuse, when your lights have gone.

You can knit a sweater by the fireside, Sunday mornings, go for a ride.

Doing the garden, digging the weeds, who could ask for more?

Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I'm sixty four?

Every summer we can rent a cottage in the Isle of Wight if it's not too dear.

We shall scrimp and save.

Ah, grandchildren on your knee, Vera, Chuck, and Dave.

Send me a postcard, drop me a line stating point of view.

Indicate precisely what you mean to say, yours sincerely wasting away.

Give me your answer, fill in a form, mine forever more.

Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I'm sixty four?
