Wonderwall - Oasis

(you're using Em7, G, Dsus4, A7sus4, and Cadd9 a capo.)

Verses: [F#m7, A, Esus4, B7sus4]

Verse 1:

Today is gonna be the day that they're gonna throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do
About you now

Verse 2:

Backbeat the word is on the street that the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before but you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do
About you now

Prechorus: [F#m7+5, Esus4, B7sus4]

And all the roads we have to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding

[F#m7+5, Esus4]
There are many things that I

[A, Esus4, F#m7, Esus4, B7sus4]
Would like to say to you, but I don't know how

Chorus:
[F#m7+5, Esus4, F#m7]

'Cause maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me?
And after all
You're my wonderwall

Verse 3:

[Same progression as the earlier verse]

Today was gonna be the day, but they'll never throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow realized what you're not to do
I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do
About you now

[Same progression as prechorus]

And all the roads that lead you there are winding
And all the lights that light the way are blinding
There are many things that I would
Like to say to you
But I don't know how

[Same progression as chorus. Have you caught on yet? Good! :) ]

I said maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me?
And after all
You're my wonderwall

I said maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me?
And after all
You're my wonderwall

I said maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me?
You're gonna be the one who saves me?
You're gonna be the one who saves me?

Catch the Rainbow - Rainbow

When evening falls
She'll run to me
Like whispered dreams
Your eyes can't see
Soft and warm
She'll touch my face
A bed of straw
Against the lace

We believe we'll catch the Rainbow
Ride the wind to the sun
Sail away on ships of wonder
But life's not a wheel
With chains made of steel
So bless me come the dawn
Come the dawn.(x3)(all x2)

DON'T WORRY, BE HAPPY - BOBBY McFERRIN

C
Ooooooh
Dm F C
Don't worry, be happy
Dm F
Don't worry, be happy
C C
Don't worry, be happy

Here's a little song I wrote
Dm
You might want to sing it note for note
F C
Don't worry, be happy

Every life we have some trouble
Dm
When you worry you make it double
F C
Don't worry, be happy


Ain't got no place to lay your head
Somebody came and took your bed
Don't worry, be happy
The landlord says your rent is late
He may have a litigate
Don't worry, be happy
Look at me I'm happy
Don't worry, be happy

I give you my phone number when you worry
Call me I'll make you happy
Don't worry, be happy
Ain't got no cash, ain't got no style
Ain't got no gal to make you smile
Don't worry, be happy
Cuz when you worry your face will frown
That will bring everybody down
So don't worry, be happy
Don't worry, be happy now
Don't worry, be happy (4x)

Don't worry, don't worry, don't do it
Be happy with a smile on your face
Don't bring everybody down like this
Don't worry it will soon pass whatever it is
Don't worry, be happy
I'm not worried

Killing Me Softly - Roberta Flack

Dm7 G
I heard he sang a good song.
C F
I heard he had a style.
Dm7 G
And so I came to see him,
Am
and listen for a while.
Dm7 G
And there he was this young boy
C E
a stranger to my eyes.


Am F G C
Strumming my pain with his fingers. singing my life with his words.
Am D G F
Killing me softly with his song. Killing me softly with his song.
C F
Telling my whole life with his words.
Asus4 * A ( * or Bb )
Killing me softly, with his song.


I felt all flushed with fever
embarrassed by the crowd.
I felt he found my letters
and read each one out loud.
I prayed that he would finish
but he just kept right on.

(repeat chorus)

He sang as if knew me
in all my dark despair.
And then he looked right through me
as if I wasn't there.
And he just kept on singing
singing clear and strong

(repeat chorus)

Kiss From A Rose - SEAL

A A Fmaj7 G A
There used to be a graying tower alone on the sea
A Fmaj7 G A
You became the light on the dark side of me
A Fmaj7 G A
Love remains a drug that's the high and not the pill
A Am Fmaj7 G
Did you know that when it snows my eyes become large
Fmaj7 G A A
And the light that you shine can't be seen
A Fmaj7 G A
Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grave
A Fmaj7 G A
The more I get of you the stranger it feels, yeah
A Fmaj7 G Fmaj7 A A A
Now that your rose is in bloom, a light hits the gloom on the grave

There is so much a man can tell you, so much he can say
You remain my power, my pleasure, my pain, baby
To me you're like a growin' addiction that I can't deny
Won't you tell me is that healthy, babe?
But did you know that when it snows my eyes become large
And the light that you shine can't be seen

Repeat chorus

G G D C G G D C
I've been kissed by a rose on the gray, I've been kissed by a rose
G G D C G
I've been kissed by a rose on the grave

I've been kissed by a rose on the grave

There is so much a man can tell you, so much he can say
You remain my power, my pleasure, my pain, baby
To me you're like a growin' addiction that I can't deny
Won't you tell me is that healthy, babe?
But did you know that when it snows my eyes become large
And the light that you shine can't be seen

The River of Dreams - Billy Joel

G G
In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep
C D
from the mountains of faith to a river so deep
G G
I must be looking for something something sacred I lost
C D
But the river is wide and it's too hard to cross


Em D
And even thought I knew the river is wide
C Am
I walk down every evening and I stand on the shore
Em D
And try to cross to the opposite side
Am D
So I can finally find out what I've been looking for


G G
In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep
C D
Through the valley of fear to a river so deep
G G
And I've been searching for something taken away of my soul
C D
Something I would never lose something somebody stole


Em D
I don't know why I go walking at night
C Am
But now I'm tired and I don't walk anymore
Em D
I hope it doesn't take the rest of my life
Am D
Until I find what it is I've been looking for


G G
In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep
C D
Through the jungle of doubt to a river so deep
G G
I know I'm searching for something something so undefined
C D
That it only can be seen by the eyes of a blind

G
In the middle of the night


Em D
I'm not sure about life after this
C Am
god knows I've never been a spiritual man
Em Am
Babtized by the fire, I wade into the river
Am D
That turns to be the promised land


G G
In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep
C D
Through the desert of truth to a river so deep
G G
We're all land in the ocean we all start in the streams
C D
We're all carried along by the river of dreams

G
In the middle of the night

Nights in white satin
Never reaching the end
Letters I've written
Never meaning to send

Em - - / / D - - / / x4 / C - - / / G - - / /

Beauty I've always missed

Some try to tell me
Thoughts they can not defend
Just what you want to be
You will be in the end

C: 'Cause I love you, yes I love you
Oh, I love you, I love you, oh...

Oh, I love you, I love you, oh...

Clowns to the left of me
C G D
Jokers to the right, here I am

Stuck in the middle with you


The second verse is:

Yes I'm stuck in the middle with you
And I'm wondering what it is I should do
It's so hard to keep this smile from my face
Losing control, yeah, I'm all over the place
Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right
Here I am, Stuck in the middle with you.


Bridge:

Well you started out with nothing and you're proud that you're a

Self made man

And your friends, they all come crawlin, slap you on the back and say

Third Verse:

Trying to make some sense of it all
But I can see that it makes no sense at all
Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor
Cause I don't think that I can take anymore
Clowns...

TEACH YOUR CHILDREN - CROSBY, STILLS, NASH & YOUNG

D G D A
D G
You who are on the road
D A Asus4
Must have a code that you can live by
And so become yourself
Because the past is just a good-bye

Teach your children well
Their father's hell did slowly go by
And feed them on your dreams
The one they picks, the one you'll know by

D G
Don't you ever ask them why
D
If they told you, you would cry
Bm G A
So just look at them and sigh
(pause) D G D A Asus4
And know they love you...

And you of tender years
Can't know the fears that your elders grew by
And so please help them with your youth
They seek the truth before they can die

Teach your parents well
Their children's hell will slowly go by
And feed them on your dreams
The one they picks, the one you'll know by

Don't you ever ask them why
If they told you, you would cry
So just look at them and sigh
And know they love you...

VINCENT - DON McLEAN

G Am
1. Starry, starry night, paint your pallet blue and grey
C
Look out on a summers day,
D7 G
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
G Am
Shadows on the hills sketch the trees and the daffodils
C
And catch the breeze and winter chills
D7 G C G
In colors on the snowy linen land

Chorus
Am D7 G Em
Now I understand, what you tried to say to me
Am7
How you suffered for your sanity
D7 Em
How you tried to set them free
A7 Am7
They would not listen, they did not know how
D7 G
Perhaps they'll listen now


Starry, starry night, flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling colors of violet haze
Reflect in Vincents eyes of china blue
Colors changing hue, morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artists loving hand


Chorus
Am7 D7 G
For they could not love you, but still your love was true
Em Am7 Cm6
And when no hope was left in sight on that starry, starry night
G F7 E7
You took your life as lovers often do
Am7
I could have told you Vincent,
C D7 G
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you


Starry, starry night, portraits hung in empty halls
Frameless heads on nameless walls
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
Like the stranger that you've met, the ragged man in ragged clothes
The silver thorn of bloody rose
Lies crushed and broken on the virgin snow


Now I think I know, what you try to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they're not listening still
Perhaps they never will

WHAT IF GOD WAS ONE OF US - JOAN OSBORNE

F#m D A E (x2)


F#m D A E
If God had a name, what would it be?
And would you call it to His face if you were faced with him
In all his glory? What would you ask
If you had just one question?

D E
Yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah

F#m D A E
What if God was one of us?
Just a slob like one of us?
Just a stranger on the bus
Trying to make his way home...

If God had a face, what would it look like?
And would you want to see, if seeing meant that you would have to
Believe in things like heaven and in Jesus
And the saints and all the prophets?

Yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah

What if God was one of us?
Just a slob like one of us?
Just a stranger on the bus
Trying to make his way home
Back up to heaven all alone
Nobody callin' on the phone
'Cept for the Pope, maybe, in Rome


Yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah

What if God was one of us?
Just a slob like one of us?
Just a stranger on the bus
Just trying to make his way back home
Like a holy rolling stone

Back up to heaven all alone
Just trying to make his way home
Nobody callin' on the phone
'Cept for the Pope, maybe, in Rome...

WONDERFUL TONIGHT - ERIC CLAPTON

G D C D
It's late in the evening, she's wondering what clothes to wear
G D C D
She puts on her make-up, and brushes her long blonde hair
C D G G/F# Em
And then she'd ask me, "Do I look alright?"
C D G
And I say "Yes, you look wonderful tonight"



We'd go to a party, and everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady that's walking around with me
And then she'd ask me "Do you feel alright?"
And I'd say "Yes, I feel wonderful tonight"

C D G G/F# Em
I feel wonderful because I see the lovelight in your eyes
C D C D
And the wonder of it all is that you just don't realise
G
How much I love you


It's time to go home now, and I've got an aching head
So I give her the car keys, and she helps me to bed
And then I tell her, As I turn out the light
I say "My darling, you are wonderful tonight"
