She was a fast machine, she kept her motor clean
She was the best damn woman that I ever seen
She had the sightless eyes, telling me no lies
Knockin' me out with those American thighs
Taking more than her share, had me fighting for air
She told me to come but I was already there
/ G - C - / D - G - / :
{Refrain}
'Cause the walls start shaking, the earth was quaking
My mind was aching and we were making it
And you shook me all night long
Yeah, you shook me all night long
/ G - C - / D - - - / G - C G D - C C/B / /
Working double time on the seduction line
She was one of a kind, she's just mine all mine
She wanted no applause, just another course
Made a meal out of me and came back for more
Had to cool me down to take another round
Now I'm back in the ring to take another swing
{Refrain}
And knocked me out and then you shook me all night long
You had me shakin' and you shook me all night long
Yeah you shook me, well you took me
/ G - C G D - C C/B / / D - C - /
You really took me and you shook me all night long
Ooooh, you shook me all night long
Yeah, yeah, you shook me all night long
Your really took me and you shook me all night long
Yeah you shook me, yeah you shook me
All night long

Ramblin' Man - The Allman Brothers
{Refrain}
Lord, I was born a ramblin' man
Trying to make a living and doing the best I can
When it's time for leaving, I hope you'll understand
That I was born a rambling man
/ G F G - / G C D - / C G Em C / G D G - /
My father was a gambler down in Georgia
He wound up on the wrong end of a gun
And I was born in the back seat of a Greyhound bus
Rolling down highway forty-one
/ G C G - / G C D - / C G Em C / G D G - /
{Refrain}
I'm on my way to New Orleans this morning
Leaving out of Nashville, Tennessee
They're always having a good time down on the bayou, Lord
Them delta women think the world of me

Circle of Life - Elton John
From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking, step into the sun
There's more to be seen than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done
/ G - Am - / D - G - / Em - Am - / F - D - /
Some say eat or be eaten
Some say live and let live
But all are agreed as they join the stampede
You should never take more than you give
{Refrain}
In the circle of life
It's the wheel of fortune
It's the leap of faith
It's the band of hope
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle, the circle of life
/ G GC G - / F - - - / C - - - / D - - - /
/ G - E - / Am - Eb - / G - D - C Eb G - /
Some of us fall by the wayside
And some of us soar to the stars
And some of us sail through our troubles
And some have to live with the scars
There's far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high through the sapphire sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round
And blinking, step into the sun
There's more to be seen than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done
/ G - Am - / D - G - / Em - Am - / F - D - /

Your Song - Elton John
It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live
/ D Gmaj7 A F#m / Bm Bm7 Bm6 G / D A F#7 Bm / D Em7 G A /
If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you
/ " / " / " / D Em7 G D /
{Refrain}
And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
/ A Bm Em7 G / / Bm Bm7 Bm6 Em / D Em G A /
I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on
So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - Elton John
When are you gonna come down
When are you going to land
I should have stayed on the farm
I should have listened to my old man
/ Gm C / F Bb / Gm C / F - /
You know you can't hold me forever
I didn't sign up with you
I'm not a present for your friends to open
This boy's too young to be singing the blues
/ " / " / Eb C / " / Db Eb Ab Db - C7 /
{Refrain}
So goodbye, Yellow Brick Road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can't plant me in your penthouse
I'm going back to my plough
Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny back toad
Oh, I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the Yellow Brick Road
/ F A7 / Bb F / D7 Gm / C F / Dm A / Bb Db /
/ Eb F C Dm F / Bb C / Db Eb Ab Db - C F /
What do you think you'll do then
I bet that'll shoot down your plane
It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics
To set you on your feet again
Maybe you'll get a replacement
There's plenty like me to be found
Mongrels, who ain't got a penny
Sniffing for tit-bits like you on the ground

Crocodile Rock - Elton John and Bernie Taupin
I remember when rock was young
Me and Susie had so much fun
Holding hands and skimmin' stones
Had an old gold Chevy and a place of my own
/ G - / Bm - / C - / D - /
But the biggest kick I ever got
Was doing a thing called the Crocodile Rock
While the other kids were rockin' 'round the clock
We were hoppin' and boppin' to the Crocodile Rock
{Refrain}
Well, Crocodile Rockin' is something shockin'
When you feet just can't keep still
I never knew me a better time
And I guess I never will
Oh lawdy mama, those Friday nights
When Susie wore her dresses tight
And the Crocodile Rockin' was out of sight
La, la la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la
/ Em - / A7 - / D7 - / G - / E - /
/ A7 - / D7 - C - / G - Em - C - D - /
But the years went by and rock just died
Susie went and left us for some foreign guy
Long nights cryin' by the record machine
Dreamin' of my Chevy and my old blue jeans
But they'll never kill the thrills we've got
Burning up to the Crocodile Rock
Learning fast as the weeks went past
We really thought the Crocodile Rock would last

Candle in the Wind - Elton John and Bernie Taupin
Goodbye Norma Jean

They set you on the treadmill

You're My Home - Billy Joel
When you look into my eyes
And you see the crazy gypsy in my soul
It always comes as a surprise
When I feel my withered roots begin to grow
Well I never had a place that I could call my very own
That's all right, my love, 'cause you're my home

You say, "Use my body for your bed
And my love will keep you warm throughout the night"
Well I'll never be a stranger and I'll never be alone
Whenever we're together, that's my home
Home can be the Pennsylvania Turnpike
Indiana's early morning dew
High up in the hills of California
Home is just another word for you

There's a roof above and good walls all around
You're my castle, you're my cabin and my instant pleasure dome
I need you in my house 'cause you're my home
You're my home

You May Be Right - Billy Joel
Friday night I crashed your party
Saturday I said I'm sorry
Sunday came and trashed me out again
I was only having fun
Wasn't hurting anyone
And we all enjoyed the weekend for a change
/ A - / / A - E - / Bm - / G - / E - A - /

I walked through Bedford Stuy alone
Even rode my motorcycle in the rain
And you told me not to drive

So you said that only proves that I'm insane

You may be right, I may be crazy
But it just may be a lunatic you're looking for
Turn out the light, don't try to save me
You may be wrong for all I know, but you may be right

Remember how I found you there
Alone in your electric chair
I told you dirty jokes until you smiled
You were lonely for a man
I said take me as I am
'Cause you might enjoy some madness for awhile
Now think of all the years you tried to
Find someone to satisfy you
I might be as crazy as you say
If I'm crazy then it's true
That it's all because of you
And you wouldn't want me any other way
{Refrain}
You may be right, I may be crazy

I might be as crazy as you say
If I'm crazy then it's true
That it's all because of you
And you wouldn't want me any other way
{Refrain}
You may be right, I may be crazy
But it just may be a lunatic youre looking for
Turn out the light, don't try to save me
You may be wrong for all I know, but you may be right
You may be wrong but you may be right (6x)

Uptown Girl - Billy Joel
Oh-oh, oh-oh, uptown girl

She's been living in her uptown world
I bet she never had a back street guy
I bet her mama never told her why
I'm gonna try for an uptown girl
/ Em F#m / GA D / :
She's been living in her white bread world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now she's looking for a downtown man

And when she wakes up and makes up her mind
She'll see I'm not so tough
Just because I'm in love with an uptown girl

Uptown girl
You know I can't afford to buy her pearls
But maybe someday when my ship comes in
She'll understand what kind of guy I've been
And then I'll win
And when she's walking, she's looking so fine
And when she's talking, she'll say that she's mine
She'll say I'm not so tough
Just because I'm in love with and uptown girl
She's been living in her white bread world

Tell Her About It - Billy Joel
Intro: / G - F C / /
Listen, boy, I don't want to see you let
A good thing slip away
You know I don't like watching anybody make
The same mistakes I made
She's a real nice girl and she's always there for you
But a nice girl wouldn't tell you what you should do
/ G - / F C / : / Bm Bb Am - / Cm G Am AmC /
Oh, listen, boy, I'm sure that you think
You got it all under control
You don't want somebody telling you
The way to stay in someone's soul
You're a big boy now and you'll never let her go
But that's just the kind of thing she ought to know
... / Cm G Am GA /
{Refrain}
Tell her about it, tell her everything you feel
Give her every reason to accept that you're for real
Tell her about it, tell her all your crazy dreams
Let her know you need her, let her know how much she means
/ D - F#m - / Bm - Em EmA / :
Listen, boy, it's not automatically
A certain guarantee
To insure yourself you've got to provide
Communication constantly
When you love someone you're always insecure
And there's only one good way to reassure
{As Refrain}
Tell her about it, let her know how much you care
When she can't be with you tell her you wish you were there
Tell her about it everyday before you leave
Pay her some attention, give her something to believe
'Cause now and then she'll get to worrying
Just because you haven't spoken for so long
Though you may not have done anything
Will that be a consolation when she's gone
/ F Dm Eb - / Gm C D - / 1st / Gm C A - /
Listen, boy, it's good information
From a man who's made mistakes
Just a word or two that she gets from you
Could be the difference that it makes
She's a trusting soul, she's put her trust in you
But a girl like that won't tell you what you should do
{Refrain}
Tell her about it, tell her how you feel right now
Tell her about it, the girl don't want to wait too long
You got to tell her about it
Tell her now and you won't go wrong
You got to tell her about it before it gets too late
You got to tell her about it

She's Always a Woman - Billy Joel
She can kill with a smile
She can wound with her eyes
She can ruin your faith
With her casual lies
And she'll only reveal
What she wants you to see
She hides like a child
But she's always a woman to me
/ A7 D / A7 D - / D G / Bm G - / A7 D / A7 F# - /
/ Bm - / G A7 D - - - /
She can lead you to love
She can take you or leave you
She can ask for the truth
But she'll never believe you
And she'll take what you give her
As long as it's free
Yeah, she steals like a thief
But she's always a woman to me
{Refrain}
Oh, she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Oh, and she never gives out
And she never gives in
She just changes her mind
/ Bm - E7 - A - / F#m D G - / Em A7 D - - - /
/ Dm - G7 - C - / Am - Bb - / E E7 A - - - /
And she'll promise you more than the Garden of Eden
Then she'll carelessly cut you
And laugh while you're bleeding
But she'll bring out the best
And the worst you can be
Blame it all on yourself
'Cause she's always a woman to me
{Refrain}
She is frequently kind
And she's suddenly cruel
She can do as she pleases
She's nobody's fool
But she can't be convicted
She's earned her degree
And the most she will do
Is throw shadows at you
But she's always a woman to me
Hmmm

Scenes from an Italian Restaurant - Billy Joel

In our old familiar place
You and I, face to face

Things are okay with me these days
Got a good job, got a good office
Got a new wife, got a new life
And the family's fine
We lost touch long ago
You lost weight, I did not know
You could ever look so nice
After so much time
/ G - / - G7 / C Am7 / C D / :
Do you remember those days hanging out at the village green
Engineer boots, leather jackets, and tight blue jeans
Drop a dime in the box, play the song about New Orleans

Brenda and Eddie were the popular steadies
And the king and the queen of the prom
Riding around with the car top down and the radio on
Nobody looked any finer
Or was more of a hit at the Parkway Diner
We never knew we could want more than that out of life
Surely Brenda and Eddie would always know how to survive
Oh, oh, oh, oh... (2x)
/ G - / D DC / G - C - / G DC / G C / G F E - / Am CD /
Brenda and Eddie were still going steady
In the summer of '75
When they decided the marriage would be at the end of July
Everyone said they were crazy
"Brenda you know that you're much too lazy
And Eddie could never afford to live that kind of life"
But there we were waving Brenda and Eddie goodbye / Oh, oh...
Well, they got an apartment with deep pile carpet
And a couple of paintings from Sears
A big waterbed that they bought with the bread
They had saved for a couple of years
But they started to fight when the money got tight
And they just didn't count on the tears
Oh, oh
/ F - / D G / F - / D G / F - / D Em / Am D /
They lived for a while in very nice style
But it's always the same in the end
They got a divorce as a matter of course
And they parted the closest of friends
Then the king and the queen went back to the green
But you can never go back there again
Oh, oh
Brenda and Eddie had had it already
By the summer of '75
From the high to the low to the end of the show for the rest of their lives
They couldn't go back to the greasers
The best they could do was pick up their pieces
We always knew they would both find a way to get by
That's all I heard about Brenda and Eddie
Can't tell you more 'cause I told you already
And here we are wavin' Brenda and Eddie goodbye

Piano Man - Billy Joel
It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
There's an old man sitting next to me
Making love to his tonic and gin
/ C Em Am C / F C D7 G / 1st / F G C - /
He says, "Son can you play me a memory
I'm not really sure how it goes
But it's sad and it sweet and I knew it complete
When I wore a younger man's clothes"
{Bridge}
La la-la di-di da
La-la di-di da, da dum
/ Am - D7 F / Am - D7 - G - - - /
{Refrain}
Sing us a song, you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feeling all right
Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
He gets me my drinks for free
And he's a quick with a joke or a light-up-your-smoke
But there's someplace that he'd rather be
He says "Bill, I believe this is killing me"
As the smile ran away from his face
"Well I'm sure that I could be a movie star
If I could get out of this place"
{Bridge}
Now Paul is a real estate novelist
Who never had time for a wife
And he's talking with Davey who's still in the Navy
And probably will be for life
And the waitress is practicing politics
As the businessmen slowly get stoned
Yes they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
But it's better than drinking alone
{Refrain}
It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
And the manager gives me a smile
'Cause he knows that it's me they've been coming to see
To forget about life for awhile
And the piano sounds like a carnival
And the microphone smells like a beer
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
And say "Man, what are you doing here"

Only the Good Die Young - Billy Joel

You Catholic girls start much too late
Ah but sooner or later it comes down to fate
I might as well be the one

Well, they showed you a statue, told you to pray
They built you a temple and locked you away

Only the good die young, only the good die young

You might have heard I run with a dangerous crowd
We ain't too pretty, we ain't too proud
We might be laughing a bit too loud
Oh, but that never hurt no one
So come on, Virginia, show me a sign
Send up a signal, I'll throw you a line
That stained glass curtain you're hiding behind
Never lets in the sun
Darlin', only the good die young, wo-o-o-oh
I tell you only the good die young, only the good die young
You got a nice white dress and a party on your confirmation
You got a brand new soul and a cross of gold
But, Virginia, they didn't give you quite enough information
You didn't count on me when you were counting on your rosary, oh-oh-oh
/ G F C - / D - F - / 1st / D - F CDmC /
And they say there's a heaven for those who will wait
Some say it's better but I say it ain't
I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints
The sinners are much more fun
You know that only the good die young, woo-oo-oo baby
I tell you only the good die young, only the good die young
Said your mother told you all that I could give you was a reputation
Oh, she never cared for me but did she ever say a prayer for me, no-oh-oh
Come out come out come out Virginia don't let me wait
You Catholic girls start much too late
But sooner or later it comes down to fate
I might as well be the one
You know that only the good die young, tell you, baby
You know that only the good die young
Only the good die young
Only the good, good, only the good die young
Oo-oo-oo-o-oh o-o-oo-oo-o-oh
Oo-oo-oo-o-o-oh o-o-o-oo-oo-oh
You Catholic girls start much too late
Ah but sooner or later it comes down to fate
I might as well be the one
/ F - C Am / F - G C / 1st / F - G - /
Well, they showed you a statue, told you to pray
They built you a temple and locked you away
Ah but they never told you the price that you pay
For things that you might have done
Only the good die young, that's what I say
Only the good die young, only the good die young

New York State of Mind - Billy Joel
Some folks like to get away, take a holiday from the neighborhood
Hop a flight to Miami Beach or to Hollywood
I'm taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River line
I'm in a New York state of mind
/ C E7 Am7 Gm7 / F A7 Dm7 Fm6 / CE7 Am7 F D7 / Fmaj7 G7 Am7 D7 Am7 G /
I seen all the movie stars in their fancy cars and their limousines
Been high in the Rockies under the evergreens
But I know what I'm needing and I don't want to waste more time
I'm in a New York state of mind
{Bridge}
It was so easy living day by day
Out of touch with the rhythm and the blues
But now I need a little give and take
The New York Times, the Daily News
(E7) / Am7 D7 Gmaj7 - / Gm7 C7 Fmaj7 - / Bm7 E7 Amaj7 - / Am7 D7 Gmaj7 - Dm7 G7 /
It comes down to reality, and it's fine with me 'cause I've let it slide
Don't care if it's Chinatown or Riverside
I don't have any reasons, I've left them all behind
I'm in a New York state of mind

My Life - Billy Joel
Got a call from an old friend, we used to be real close
Said he couldn't go on the American way
Closed the shop, sold the house, bought a ticket to the west coast
Now he gives them a stand-up routine in L.A.
/ D - G - / A - D GD / D - G - / A - D C7 Ebmaj7 Bb /
{Refrain}
I don't need you to worry for me cause I'm all right
I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home
I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life
Go ahead with your own life, leave me alone
I never said you had to offer me a second chance
I never said you had to
I never said I was a victim of circumstance
Of circumstance
I still belong, don't get me wrong
And you can speak your mind, but not on my time
/ " / " / " / A - / Bm - F# - / D7 - E9 - / G D F# Bm / E9 - GA GA /
They will tell you you can't sleep alone in a strange place
Then they'll tell you can't sleep with somebody else
Ah but sooner or later you sleep in your own space
Either way it's O.K. you wake up with yourself
{Refrain}

Movin' Out - Billy Joel
Anthony works in the grocery store
Savin' his pennies for someday
Mama Leone left a note on the door
She said, "Sonny, move out to the country"
Ah but working too hard can give you a
Heart attack-ack-ack-ack-ack-ack
You oughta know by now - You oughta know by now
Who needs a house out in Hackensack
Is that all you get for your money
/ Dm - Gm - / C C7 F - / : / Dm - G7 - / Gm7 - C - /
/ Dm - G7 - / C7 - F - /
{Refrain}
And it seems such a waste of time
If that's what it's all about

Mm, I'm movin' out
/ Bb - C - / A7 - Dm - / Bb - Em7 - A7 - /
/ Dm - Gm7 - C7 - Fmaj7 - /
Sergeant O'Leary is walkin' the beat
At night he becomes a bartender
He works at Mister Cacciatore's down on Sullivan Street
Across from the medical center
And he's tradin' in his Chevy for a
Cadillac-ac-ac-ac-ac-ac
You oughta know by now - You oughta know by now
And if he can't drive with a broken back
At least he can polish the fenders
{Refrain}
You should never argue with a
Crazy mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mind
You oughta know by now - You oughta know by now
You can pay Uncle Sam with the overtime
Is that all you get for your money
{As refrain}
And if that's what you have in mind
Yeah, if that's what you're all about
Good luck movin' up 'cause I'm movin' out

The Longest Time - Billy Joel
Oh, oh, oh, oh, for the longest time
Oh, oh, oh, for the longest
/ C GC F G7 / /
If you said goodbye to me tonight
There would still be music left to write
What else could I do, I'm so inspired by you
That hasn't happened for the longest time
/ C Am F G / C Am D7 G / E7 Am G CC7 / F Dm G C /
Once I thought my innocence was gone
Now I know that happiness goes on
That's were you found me when you put your arms around me
I haven't been there for the longest time
Oh, oh, oh, oh, for the longest time
Oh, oh, oh, for the longest
I'm that voice you're hearing in the hall
And the greatest miracle of all
Is how I need you and how you needed me too
That hasn't happened for the longest time
Maybe this won't last very long
But you feel so right, and I could be wrong
Maybe I've been hoping too hard
But I've gone this far and it's more than I hoped for
/ G - Am - / B7 - C - / Em - Am - / D D7 G G7 /
Who knows how much further we'll go on
Maybe I'll be sorry when you're gone
I'll take my chances, I forgot how nice romance is
I haven't been there for the longest time
I had second thoughts at the start
I said to myself, hold on to your heart
Now I know the woman that you are
You're wonderful so far, and it's more than I hoped for
I don't care what consequence it brings
I have been a fool for lesser things
I want you so bad, I think you ought to know that
I intend to hold you for the longest time
Oh, oh, oh, oh, for the longest time
Oh, oh, oh, for the longest time
Oh, oh, oh...
Oh, oh, oh, for the longest

You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care
I don't want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard, mm-mm
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are
I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
Oh, what will it take till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you
/ G A F#m7 B7 / Em7 A D DAm / Bb C Am7 D / Gm7 C Asus4 - /

It's Still Rock and Roll to Me - Billy Joel
What's the matter with the clothes I'm wearing
Can't you tell that your tie's too wide
Maybe I should buy some old tab collars
Welcome back to the age of jive
Where have you been hidin' out lately, honey
You can't dress trashy 'til you spend a lot of money
Everybody's talkin' 'bout the new sound
Funny, but it's still rock and roll to me
/ C - Em - / Bb - F - / :
/ Em - Am - / Em - D G / C Em Bb / F Am G C - /
What's the matter with the car I'm driving
Can't you tell that it's out of style
Should I get a set of white wall tires
Are you gonna cruise the miracle mile
Nowadays you can't be too sentimental
Your best bet's a true baby blue Continental
Hot funk, cool punk, even if it's old junk
It's still rock and roll to me
Oh, it doesn't matter what they say in the papers
'Cause it's always been the same old scene
There's a new band in town but you can't get the sound
From a story in a magazine
Aimed at your average teen
/ G - F - / E - Am - / 1st / E - Ab - / Eb - F - G - /
How about a pair of pink sidewinders
And a bright orange pair of pants
You could be a really Beau Brummel baby
If you just give it half a chance
Don't waste your money on a new set of speakers
You get more mileage from a cheap pair of sneakers
Next phase, new wave, dance craze, anyways
It's still rock and roll to me
What's the matter with the crowd I'm seeing
Don't you know that they're out of touch
Should I try to be a straight 'A' student
If you are then you think too much
Don't you know about the new fashion honey
All you need are looks and a whole lotta money
It's the next phase, new wave, dance craze, anyways
It's still rock and roll to me

Honesty - Billy Joel
If you search for tenderness, it isn't hard to find
You can have the love you need to live
But if you look for truthfulness
You might just as well be blind
It always seems to be so hard to give
/ G C D Bm7 / C Em F#m Am7D / G A / D B7 / C F# B7 - /
{Refrain}
Honesty is such a lonely word
Everyone is so untrue
Honesty is hardly ever heard
And mostly what I need from you
/ Cmaj7 D7 B7 Em7D / C D G B7 / Cmaj7 D7 B7 Em7 / C D G - /
I can always find someone to say they sympathize
If I wear my heart out on my sleeve
But I don't want some pretty face
To tell me pretty lies
All I want is someone to believe
{Refrain}
I can find a lover, I can find a friend
I can have security until the bitter end
Anyone can comfort me with promises again
I know, I know
/ Em - B7 - / D7 - A - / C D C G / A7 - D - /
When I'm deep inside of me, don't be too concerned
I won't ask for nothin' while I'm gone
But when I want sincerity
Tell me where else can I turn
Because you're the one that I depend upon
{Refrain}
You can have the love you need to live

Goodnight Saigon - Billy Joel
Intro: / F Dm Bb G /
We met as soul mates on Parris Island
We left as inmates from an asylum
And we were sharp, as sharp as knives
And we were so gung-ho to lay down our lives
/ Dm Dm7 C - / / Em Am Em Am / Dm Dm/C GC G /
We came in spastic, like tameless horses
We left in plastic as numbered corpses
And we learned fast to travel light
Our arms were heavy but our bellies were tight
... / Dm C Bb - G - /
We had no home front, we had no soft soap
They sent us Playboy, they gave us Bob Hope
We dug in deep and shot on sight
And prayed to Jesus Christ with all of our might
... / Dm F GC G /
We had no cameras to shoot the landscape
We passed the hash pipe and played our Doors tapes
And it was dark, so dark at night
And we held on to each other
Like brother to brother
We promised our mothers we'd write
.. / Dm - / Dm/C - / Bb Dm7 G - /
And we would all go down together
We said we'd all go down together
Yes, we would all go down together
/ F Bb C C7 / / F Bb G - F - Dm - G - /
Remember Charlie, remember Baker
They left their childhood on every acre
And who was wrong and who was right
It didn't matter in the thick of the fight
... / Dm C Bb - G - /
We held the day
In the palm of our hand
They ruled the night
And the night seemed to last as long as
/ Am AmEm C CDm / E EDm E - / 1st / E EDm Am(maj7)E CE /
Six weeks on Parris Island
We held the coastline, they held the highlands
And they were sharp, as sharp as knives
They heard the hum of the motors
They counted the rotors
And waited for us to arrive
And we would all go down together
We said we'd all go down together
Yes we would all go down together

Still you're standing on your feet, ohh
All your choices made you change your mind
Now your calendar's complete
Don't wait for answers
Just take your chances
Don't ask me why
Mm, you can say the human heart
Is only make-believe
And I am only fighting fire with fire
But you are still the victim
Of the accidents you leave
As sure as I'm a victim of desire

All the servants in your new hotel
Throw their roses at your feet, ohh
Fool them all, but baby I can tell
You're no stranger to the street
Don't ask for favors
Don't talk to strangers
Don't ask me why
Yesterday you were an only child
Now your ghosts have gone away
You can kill them in the classic style
Now you parlez vous Français
Don't look for answers
You took your chances
Don't ask me why
Don't ask me why
Leave their tables when you blink, ohh
Every dog must have his every day
Every drunk must have his drink
Don't wait for answers
Just take your chances
Don't ask me why

Big Shot - Billy Joel
Well, you went uptown riding in your limousine
With your fine Park Avenue clothes
You had the Dom Perignon in your hand
And the spoon up your nose
/ Em - G - / / Em - D - / C CF C - /
Ooh, and when you wake up in the morning with your head on fire
And your eyes to bloody to see
Go on and cry in your coffee
But don't come bitchin' to me
/ Em - G - / Em - G - / Em - / Bm - C CF C G /
Because you had to be a big shot, didn't you
You had to open up your mouth
You had to be a big shot, didn't you
All your friends were so knocked out
You had to have the last word, last night
You know what everything's about
You had to have a white hot spotlight
You had to be a big shot last night, whoa

And the people that you knew at Elaine's
And the story of your latest success
Kept 'em so entertained
Oh, but now you just don't remember all the things you said
And you're not sure you want to know
I'll give you one hint, honey
You sure did put on a show
Yes, yes, you had...

You had to have the front page, bold type

Allentown - Billy Joel
Well we're living here in Allentown
And they're closing all the factories down
Out in Bethlehem they're killing time
Filling out forms, standing in line
/ Em7 A D - / Am7 D G - / Em7 A Bm F#m / Em D Asus4 A /
Well our fathers fought the Second World War
Spent their weekends on the Jersey Shore
Met our mothers in the USO
Asked them to dance, danced with them slow
And we're living here in Allentown
/ " / " / " / " / Em7 A D - /
But the restlessness was handed down
And it's getting very hard to stay
/ F G C - / Am7 D Em G C D C - Em - C - Em - C - GC G /
Well we're waiting here in Allentown
For the Pennsylvania we never found
For the promises our teachers gave
If we worked hard, if we behaved
So the graduations hang on the wall
But they never really helped us at all
No they never taught us what was real
Iron and coke, chromium steel
And we're waiting here in Allentown
But they've taken all the coal from the ground
And the union people crawled away
Every child had a pretty good shot
To get at least as far as their old man got
But something happened on the way to that place
They threw an American flag in our face
/ F - G F / - - G Bb / F - G F / - - G C - Em - C - Em - C - GC G /

Too Old to Rock and Roll (and Too Young to Die) - Jethro Tull
The old rocker wore his hair too long
Wore his trouser cuffs too tight
Unfashionable to the end
Drank his ale too light
Death's head belt buckle, yesterday dreams
The Transport Caf' prophet of doom
Ringing no change in his double-sewn seams
In his post-war-baby gloom
/ C FC G CBb Am / Dm G - / x2
/ G CG D GF Em / Am D - / (:) / G CG D GF Em / Am D EbF /
{Refrain}
Now he's too old to rock'n'roll, but he's too young to die
Yes, he's too old to rock'n'roll, but he's too young to die
/ Bb CC7 F BbF Eb A Dm - / Bb CC7 F BbF Eb Bb F - /
He once owned a Harley Davidson
And a Triumph Bonneville
Counted his friends in burned out spark plugs
And prays that he always will
But he's the last of the blue blood greaser boys
And all his mates are doing time
Married with three kids up by the ring road
Sold their souls straight down the line
And some of them own little sports cars
And meet at the tennis club do's
For drinks on a Sunday, work on Monday
They've thrown away their blue suede shoes
{Refrain}
Now they're...and they're...
Yes, they're...and they're...
So the old rocker gets out his bike
To make a ton before he takes his leave
Up on the A-l by Scotch Corner
Just like it used to be
And as he flies, tears in his eyes
His wind-whipped words echo the final take
And he hits the trunk road doing around 120
With no room left to brake
{Refrain}
And he was...
No you're never to old to rock and roll
If you're too young to die
No you're never to old to rock and roll
But he was too young to die

Locomotive Breath - Jethro Tull
In the shuffling madness
Of the locomotive breath
Runs the all time loser
Headlong to his death
He feels the piston scraping
Steam breaking on his brow
Old Charlie stole the handle
And the train, it won't stop going
No way to slow down, o-oh
/ Em - - GD / / / B - - BD / 1st / /
/ G - A - / B - - BD / 1st / /
He sees his children jumping off
At the stations one by one
His woman and his best friend
In bed and having fun
Oh, he's crawling down the corridor
On his hands and knees
Old Charlie stole the handle
And the train won't stop going
No way to slow down, hey-ey
He hears the silence howling
Catches angels as they fall
And the all time winner
Has got him by the balls
He picks up Gideon's Bible
Open at page one
God, he stole the handle
And the train won't stop going
No way to slow down, ow
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
Of the locomotive breath
Runs the all time loser
Headlong to his death
He feels the piston scraping
Steam breaking on his brow
Old Charlie stole the handle
And the train, it won't stop going
No way to slow down, o-oh

Pilate's Dream - JCS
I dreamed I met a Galilean
A most amazing man
He had that look you very rarely find
The haunting hunted kind
/ Bm - Em A7 / Bm - / C F#7 G - / Em6 F#7 Bm - /
I asked him to say what had happened
How it all began
I asked again, he never said a word
As if he hadn't heard
And next the room was full
Of wild and angry men
They seemed to hate this man
They fell on him and then
They disappeared again
/ B - B7 - / Em - A - / A7 - / D - / F#7 - Bm - /
Then I saw thousands of millions
Crying for this man
And then I heard them mentioning my name
And leaving me the blame

Everything's All Right - JCS
Try not to get worried
Try not to turn on to
Problems that upset you

Let the world turn without you tonight
If we try we'll get by
So forget all about us tonight

Oh then you'll feel
Everything's alright
Yes, everything's fine
And it's cool and the ointment's sweet
For the fire in your head and feet
Close your eyes close your eyes
And relax think of nothing tonight
Woman your fine ointment
Brand new and expensive
Should have been saved for the poor
Why has it been wasted
We could have raised maybe
Three hundred silver pieces or more
People who are hungry
People who are starving
Matter more than your feet and hair

Move while you still see me
You'll be lost
And you'll be so sorry when I'm gone

I'd be with you

And when the world was through
Then one by one the stars would all go out
And you and I would simply fly away

Roll Over Beethoven - Chuck Berry

There's a rockin' little record
I want my jockey to play
Roll over Beethoven

You know, my temperature's risin'
And the jukebox blows a fuse
My heart's beatin' rhythm
And my soul keeps on singin' the blues
Roll over Beethoven
And tell Tchaikovsky the news
I got the rockin' pneumonia
I need a shot of rhythm and blues
I caught the rollin' arthritis
Sittin' down by the rhythm review
Roll over Beethoven
Rockin' in two by two
Well, if you feel you like it, go get your lover
Then reel and rock it, roll it over
And move on up just a trifle further
And reel and rock it, roll it over
Roll over Beethoven, rockin' in two by two

Roll over Beethoven
And tell Tchaikovsky the news
You know she wiggles like a glow worm
Dance like a spinnin' top
She got a crazy partner
Oughta see 'em reel and rock
Long as she got a dime
The music will never stop

Roll over Beethoven and dig these rhythm and blues

Rock 'n' Roll Music - Chuck Berry
Just let me hear some of that
{Refrain}
Rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock and roll music
If you want to dance with me
If you want to dance with me
(A7) / D - / / G - / D - / A7 - / - D / A7 D /
I have no kicks against modern jazz
Unless they try to play it too darn fast
And change the beauty of the melody
Until it sounds just like a symphony
/ A A7 / D - / G - / A7 - /
That's why I go for that
{Refrain}
I took my loved one over 'cross the tracks
So she could hear my man a-wailin' sax
I must admit they have a rockin' band
Man, they was blowin' like a hurrican'
That's why I go for that
{Refrain}
Way down south they gave a jubilee
I tell you folks, they had a jamboree
And drinkin' beer from a wooden cup
The folks who dancin' got all shook up
They started playin' that
{Refrain}
Don't care to hear them play tango
I'm in no mood to take a mambo
It's way too early for the congo
So keep on rockin' that piano
That's why I go for that
{Refrain}
If you want to dance with me
If you want to dance with me
{Refrain}
Rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock and roll music
If you want to dance with me
If you want to dance with me
(A7) / D - / / G - / D - / A7 - / - D / A7 D /
I have no kicks against modern jazz
Unless they try to play it too darn fast
And change the beauty of the melody
Until it sounds just like a symphony
/ A A7 / D - / G - / A7 - /
That's why I go for that
{Refrain}
I took my loved one over 'cross the tracks
So she could hear my man a-wailin' sax
I must admit they have a rockin' band
Man, they was blowin' like a hurrican'
That's why I go for that
{Refrain}
Way down south they gave a jubilee
I tell you folks, they had a jamboree
And drinkin' beer from a wooden cup
The folks who dancin' got all shook up
They started playin' that
{Refrain}
Don't care to hear them play tango
I'm in no mood to take a mambo
It's way too early for the congo
So keep on rockin' that piano
That's why I go for that
{Refrain}
If you want to dance with me
If you want to dance with me
Johnny B. Goode - Chuck Berry
Deep down in Louisiana close to New Orleans
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens
There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode
He never ever learned to read or write so well
But he could play the guitar like a-ringing a bell
/ G7 - / / C7 - / G7 - / D7 C7 / G7 - /
{Refrain}
Go go Johnny go, go
Go Johnny go, go
Go Johnny go, go
Johnny B. Goode
He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
And sit beneath the trees by the railroad track
Old engineers would see him sitting in the shade
Strummin' to the rhythm that the drivers made
People passing by would stop and say
Oh, my how that little country boy could play
{Refrain}
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 go down
Maybe some day your name'll be in lights
Saying Johnny B. Goode tonight
{Refrain}

Stayin' Alive - Bee Gees

How Deep Is Your Love - Bee Gees
I know your eyes in the morning sun
I feel you touch me in the pouring rain

She's Leaving Home - The Beatles
Wednesday morning at five o'clock as the day begins
Silently closing her bedroom door
Leaving the note that she hoped would say more
She goes downstairs to the kitchen
Clutching her handkerchief
Quietly turning the backdoor key
Stepping outside she is free

We gave her most of our lives
Is leaving

Picks up the letter that's lying there
Standing alone at the top of the stairs

Daddy, our baby's gone
Why would she treat us so thoughtlessly
How could she do this to me
She
We never thought of ourselves
Is leaving
Never a thought for ourselves
Home
We struggled hard all our lives to get by
She's leaving home after living alone for so many years

Waiting to keep the appointment she made
Meeting a man from the motor trade

Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown) - The Beatles
I once had a girl, or should I say
She once had me
She showed me her room
Isn't it good Norwegian wood
/ A - - - / A7 A - - / :
She asked me to stay
And she told me to sit anywhere
So I looked around and I noticed
There wasn't a chair
/ Am - - - / D - - - / Am - - - / D - E - /
I sat on her rug, biding my time
Drinking her wine
We talked until two, and then she said
Its time for bed
She told me she worked in the morning
And started to laugh
I told her I didn't
And crawled off to sleep in the bath
And when I woke, I was alone
This bird had flown
So, I lit a fire
Isn't it good Norwegian wood
She once had me
She showed me her room
Isn't it good Norwegian wood

Maxwell's Silver Hammer - The Beatles
Joan was quizzical, studied pataphysical
Science in the home
Late nights all alone with a test-tube, oh-oh-oh-oh
Maxwell Edison majoring in medicine
Calls her on the phone
"Can I take you out to the pictures, Jo-o-o-oan"
But as she's getting ready to go
A knock comes on the door

Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Came down upon her head

Made sure that she was dead

Back in school again Maxwell plays the fool again
Teacher gets annoyed
Wishing to avoid an unpleasant sce-e-e-ene
She tells Max to stay when the class has gone away
So he waits behind
Writing 50 times "I must not be so-o-o-o-o"
But when she turns her back on the boy
He creeps up from behind
{Refrain, with her)
P.C. Thirty-One said, "We caught a dirty one"
Maxwell stands alone
Painting testimonial pictures oh-oh-oh-oh
Rose and Valerie screaming from the gallery
Say he must go free
Maxwell must go free
The judge does not agree and he tells them so-o-o-o-o
But as the words are leaving his lips
A noise comes from behind
{Refrain, with his)

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds - The Beatles
Picture yourself in a boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes

Towering over your head

Newspaper taxis appear on the shore
Waiting to take you away
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds
And you're gone

Picture yourself on a train in a station
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile

May I inquire discreetly
When are you free to take some tea with me

Took her home I nearly made it
Sitting on the sofa with a sister or two

Hey Jude - The Beatles
Hey Jude, don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better
/ D A / A7 D / G D / A D /
Hey Jude, don't be afraid
You were made to go out and get her
The minute you let her under your skin
Then you begin to make it better
And anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain
Don't carry the world upon your shoulder
For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder

And don't you know that it's just you, hey Jude, you'll do
The movement you need is on your shoulder

A Day in the Life - The Beatles
I read the news today, oh boy
About a lucky man who made the grade
And though the news was rather sad
Well I just had to laugh
I saw the photograph
/ G Bm Em - / C Em Am Cmaj7 / 1st / C F Em - / C F Em Cmaj7 /
He blew his mind out in a car
He didn't notice that the lights had changed
A crowd of people stood and stared
They'd seen his face before
Nobody was really sure if he was from the House of Lords
... / Em - C - /
I saw a film today, oh boy
The English Army had just won the war
A crowd of people turned away
But I just had to look
Having read the book
I'd love to turn you on
... / Em - C - / C Bm G Am7 Em /
Woke up, fell out of bed
Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
And looking up I noticed I was late
{Pant, pant, pant}
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Made the bus in seconds flat
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke
Somebody spoke and I went into a dream
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh...
/ E - / - D - / E F#m7 E F#m7 / :
/ C - G - D - A - C - G - D - A - A C /
