[Intro]
[E] [F#m] [A] [E]
first note of melody is G# of the E chord (first fret on G string)
[Verse 1]
[E] Twenty-five years and my life is still
[F#m] Trying to get up that great big hill
Of [A] hope for a desti [E] nation
I [E] realized quickly when I knew I should
That the [F#m] world was made up of this brotherhood
Of [A] man, for whatever that [E] means
[Pre-Chorus]
And so I [E] cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed
Just to [F#m] get it all out, what's in my head
and I [A] - I am feeling a little pe [E] culiar
And so I [E] wake in the morning and I step outside
and I [F#m] take a deep breath and I get real high and
I [A] scream from the top of my lungs "What's going [E] on?"
[Chorus]
And I said " [E] Heyeyeyeyey [F#m] Heyeyey"
I said " [A] Hey, what's going [E] on?"

And I [E] try, oh my God, do I [F#m] try
I try all the [A] time, in this insti [E] tution
And I [E] pray, oh my God, do I [F#m] pray
I pray every single [A] day
For a revo [E] lution
[Pre-Chorus]
And so I [E] cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed
Just to [F#m] get it all out, what's in my head
and I [A] - I am feeling a little pe [E] culiar
And so I [E] wake in the morning and I step outside
and I [F#m] take a deep breath and I get real high and
I [A] scream from the top of my lungs "What's going [E] on?"
[Chorus]
And I said " [E] Heyeyeyeyey [F#m] Heyeyey"
I said " [A] Hey, what's going [E] on?"
And I said " [E] Heyeyeyeyey [F#m] Heyeyey"
I said " [A] Hey, what's going [E] on?"
And I said " [E] Heyeyeyeyey [F#m] Heyeyey"
I said " [A] Hey, what's going [E] on?"
And I said " [E] Heyeyeyeyey [F#m] HeyeYEYEYE"

Carrying me home to see my kin

And I think it's a sin, yes

Well I heard old Neil put it down
Well I hope Neil Young will remember
A southern man don't need him around anyhow

Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you

Em Em D6/9 (200200) D6/9 x2
[Verse 1]
On the [Em] first part of the [D6/9] journey
I was [Em] looking at all the [D6/9] life
There were [Em] plants and birds and [D6/9] rocks and things
There were [Em] sand and hills and [D6/9] rings
The [Em] first thing I met was a [D6/9] fly with a buzz
And the [Em] sky with no [D6/9] clouds
The [Em] heat was hot and the [D6/9] ground was dry
But the [Em] air was full of [D6/9] sound
[Chorus - Slap on snare drums]
I've [Em9] been through the desert on a [Dmaj9] horse with no name
It felt [Em9] good to be out of the [Dmaj9] rain
In the [Em9] desert you can re [Dmaj9] member your name
'Cause there a [Em9] in't no one for to [Dmaj9] give you no pain
[Em9] La, la, la l [Dmaj9] ala la la la, la, la
[Em9] La, la, la l [Dmaj9] ala la la la, la, la
[Verse 2 - Slap on snare drums]
After [Em] two days in the [D6/9] desert sun
My [Em] skin began to turn [D6/9] red
After [Em] three days in the [D6/9] desert fun
I was [Em] looking at a river [D6/9] bed
And the [Em] story it told of a [D6/9] river that flowed
Made me [Em] sad to think it was [D6/9] dead
[Chorus - Full drums]
I've [Em9] been through the desert on a [Dmaj9] horse with no name
It felt [Em9] good to be out of the [Dmaj9] rain
In the [Em9] desert you can re [Dmaj9] member your name
'Cause there a [Em9] in't no one for to [Dmaj9] give you no pain
La, [Em9] la, la lala [Dmaj9] la la la, la, la
La, l [Em9] a, la lala l [Dmaj9] a la la, la, la
[Verse 3 - Drums stop]
After [Em] nine days I let the [D6/9] horse run free
'Cause the [Em] desert had turned to [D6/9] sea
There were [Em] plants and birds and [D6/9] rocks and things
There were [Em] sand and hills and [D6/9] rings
(bass drum in)
The [Em] ocean is a desert with its [D6/9] life underground
And a [Em] perfect disguise [D6/9] above
Under the [Em] cities lies a [D6/9] heart made of ground
But the [Em] humans will give no [D6/9] love
[Chorus - Full drums]
I've [Em9] been through the desert on a [Dmaj9] horse with no name
It felt [Em9] good to be out of the [Dmaj9] rain
In the [Em9] desert you can re [Dmaj9] member your name
'Cause there a [Em9] in't no one for to [Dmaj9] give you no pain
[Em9] La, la, la l [Dmaj9] ala la la la, la, la

Billy Joel-River of Dreams
[Just light drums - B S sS S - Really swing this] 4 bars
[Intro vocals]
[G]Woo ooh ooh bit [C] [D]
[Backing vocal part - Full drums]
[G]in the middle of the, I go walking in the
[G]in the middle of the, I go walking in the
[C]in the middle of the, I go walking in the
[D]in the middle of the, I go walking in the
[Chorus 1 - to make chords more interesting can go from
G to C, C to Dm7 and D to Em7 figure]
In the middle of the [G] night I go walking in my [G] sleep
From the mountains of [C] faith to the river so [D] deep
I must be looking for [G] something, something sacred I [G] lost
But the river is [C] wide and it's too hard to [D] cross
[Verse 1]
[Em] Even though I know the [D] river is wide
I walk down [C] every evening and I [Bm] stand on the shore
[C] I try to cross to [Bm] the opposite side
So I can [A7] finally find out what I've been [D] looking for
(run down - x7777x x6777x x5777x x3555x x5777x)
[Chorus 2]
In the middle of the [G] night I go walking in my [G] sleep
Through the valley of [C] fear to a river so [D] deep
I've been searching for [G] something taken out of my [G] soul
Something I could never [C] lose, something somebody [D] stole
[Verse 2]
[Em] I don't know why I go [D] walking at night
But now I'm [C] tired and I don't wanna [Bm] walk anymore
[C] I hope it doesn't take the [Bm] rest of my life
Until I [A7] find what it is I've been [D] looking for
(run down)
[Pause]
[Chorus 3]
In the middle of the [G] night I go walking in my [G] sleep
Through the jungle of [C] doubt to the river so [D] deep
I know I'm searching for [G] something, something so [G] undefined
That it only can be [C] seen by the eyes of the [D] blind
In the middle of the [G] night [C] [D]
[Piano bit - add 7ths - bluesy]
[G] [C] [D] x 2
[Verse 3]
[Em] Not sure about a [D] life after this
God [C] knows I've never been a [Bm] spiritual man
[C] Baptized by [Bm] fire, I wade into the [A7] river
That is runnin' through the [D] promised land
(run down)
[Double Pause]
[Chorus 4]
In the middle of the [G] night I go walking in my [G] sleep
Through the desert of [C] truth to the river so [D] deep
We all end in the [G] ocean, we all start in the [G] streams
We're all carried a [C] long by the river of [D] dreams
In the middle of the [G] night
[Backing vocal part - NO CHORDS TO BEGIN WITH - PERHAPS JUST BASS THEN CHORDS BACK IN]
[G]in the middle of the, I go walking in the
[G]in the middle of the, I go walking in the
[C]valley of faith
[D]river so deep

[A] Warm smell of colitas, [E] rising up through the air
[G] Up ahead in the distance, I [D] saw a shimmering light
[Em] My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim,
[F#] I had to stop for the night
[Bm] There she stood in the doorway;
[F#] I heard the mission bell
[A] And I was thinking to myself,
[E] heaven or this could be hell
[G] Then she lit up a candle and she [D] showed me the way
[Em] There were voices down the corridor,
[F#] I thought I heard them say...
[Chorus]
[G] Welcome to the hotel Cali [D] fornia;
[F#] lovely place,
[Bm] lovely face
[G] Plenty of room at the hotel Cali [D] fornia,

[Em] Some dance to remember, [F#] some dance to forget
[Bm] So I called up the captain,
[F#] please bring me my wine
[A] haven t had that spirit here since [E] nineteen sixty nine
[G] And still those voices are calling from [D] far away
[Em] Wake you up in the middle of the night,
[F#] just to hear them say
[Chorus]

[F#] lovely place,
[Bm] lovely face
[G] They re living it up at the hotel Cali [D] fornia
[Em] nice surprise, bring your [F#] alibis

[Bm] Mirrors on the ceiling,
[F#] the pink champagne on ice

[G] And in the masters chambers,
[D] they gathered for the feast
[Em] The stab it with their steely knives,
[F#] just (snare) can't (snare) kill the (snare - flamenco fill) beast
[Bm] Last thing I remember, I was
[F#] running for the door
[A] I had to find the passage back,
[E] place I was before
[G] relax, said the night man,

It's like I got this [G] music in my mind
Saying [G] it's gonna be alright
[Chorus]
Cause the [Am] players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the [C] haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate baby
[G] I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
Shake it off, I shake it off
Heart [Am] breakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And the [C] fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake baby
[G] I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
Shake it off, I shake it off
[Verse 2 - Drums stop - string slaps]
I never miss a [Am*] beat
I'm lightening on my [C*] feet
And that's what they dont' [G] see, mmm
That's what they dont' see, mmm
I'm dancing on my [Am] own (dancing on my own)
I'll make the moves up as I [C] go (moves up as I go)
And that's what they don't [G] know, mmm
That's what they don't know, mmm
[Pre-Chorus 2 - Drums back in]
But I keep [Am] cruisin'
Can't stop won't stop [C] groovin'
It's like I got this [G] music in my mind
Saying [G*/mute] it's gonna be alright
[Chorus]
Cause the [Am] players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the [C] haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate baby
[G] I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
Shake it off, I shake it off
Heart [Am] breakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And the [C] fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake baby
[G] I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
Shake it off, I shake it off (oooh oooh oooh oooh)
[Post-Chorus]
[Am] Shake it off, I shake it off, I I
I [C] shake it off, I shake it off, I I
I [G] shake it off, I shake it off, I I
I shake it off, I shake it off
[Interlude - No chords - just drums]
Hey, hey, hey, just think
While you've been gettin' down and out
About the liars and dirty, dirty cheats of the world
You could've been gettin' down to this sick beat
[Bridge]
[Am] My ex man brought his [C] new girlfriend
She's like " [G] Oh my God"
[G] I 'm just gonna shake it
To the [Am] fella over there with the [C] hella good hair
Won't you [G] come on over baby we could [G] shake shake shake
[Chorus]
Ye--ah ohhh!
Cause the [Am] players gonna play play play play play
And the [C] haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate hate baby
[G] I'm just gonna shake shake shake
Shake it off, shake it off
Heart [Am] breakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And the [C] fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake baby
[G] I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
Shake it off, shake it off (oooh oooh oooh oooh)
[Post-Chorus]
[Am] Shake it off, I shake it off, I I
I [C] shake it off, I shake it off, I I
I [G] shake it off, I shake it off, I I
I [G] shake it off, I shake it off
[Am] Shake it off, I shake it off, I I
I [C] shake it off, I shake it off, I I

Stevie Wonder-Superstition
[Intro - BPM 98]
Drums first then keyboard riff
[Verse 1]
[E]
Very superstitious, writings on the wall,
Very superstitious, ladders 'bout to fall,
Thirteen-months-old baby broke the lookin' glass
Seven years of bad luck, the good things in your past
[Chorus]
When you [B] believe in [C] things that you [B] don't under [A#] stand,
Then you suf[A] fer.......................[B]
Superstition ain't the way
[E + horn descending line]
[Verse 2]
Very superstitious, wash your face and hands,
Rid me of the problem, do all that you can,
Keep me in a daydream, keep me goin' strong,
You don't wanna save me, sad is my song
[Chorus]
When you [B] believe in [C] things that you [B] don't under [A#] stand,
Then you suf[A] fer.......................[B]
Superstition ain't the way
[E + horn descending line]
[Chorus figure again - no vocals but big scream at end]
[No descending horns - just straight back to verse]
[Verse 3 - Quieter - then build back up]
Very superstitious, nothin' more to say,
Very superstitious, the devil's on his way,
Thirteen-months-old baby broke the lookin' glass,
Seven years of bad luck, good things in your past
[Chorus]
When you [B] believe in [C] things that you [B] don't under [A#] stand,
Then you suf[A] fer.......................[B]
Superstition ain't the way [Telefonics end on Way]
[E + horn descending line]
[End]
