[F#m] radio
Waiting
[Bm] for my
[Bm/A] favourite
[Gmaj7] songs
When they pl
[Gmaj7] ayed I'd sing a
[F#m7] long
It made me smile 
[Em7] [A/C#] [G9/B-x20005]Those were such
[D] happy times and not so
[F#m] long ago
How I wo
[Bm] ndered
[Bm/A] where they'd
[Gmaj7] gone
[C#m7] But they're
[Bm] back again
Just like a
[Bm/A] long lost friend
All the
[Gmaj7] songs I
[Em7] love so
[A] well
[Chorus][Asus4] Every
[D] sha-la-la-la, Every
[Bm] wo-o-wo-o still
[D] shines
[Bm] [Bm riff - Bsus2 to Bm Bsus2 - then x244x2 - mute B with fretting finger
x x Bm Bsus2 - Bsus2 Bm Bsus2 B5]Every
[D] shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're
[Bm] startin' to sing so
[Em7] fine
[A] [G/A] [A] When they
[Bm] get to the part (can play just Asharp to cheat)
Where he's
[A#aug-x1232x] breaking her heart
It can
[D] really make me
[G#m7] cry
Just like be
[D] fore
[G/A] It's yesterday once
[Dmaj7] more
[Dmaj7] Shu be doo
[D] lang
[G/A] lang
[Dmaj7] Shu be doo
[D] lang
[G/A] lang
[Verse 2]Looking
[D] back on how it was in
[F#m] years gone by
And the
[Bm] good times
[Bm/A] that I
[Gmaj7] had
Makes
[Gmaj7] today seem rather
[F#m7] sad
So much has c
[Em7] hanged
[A/C#] [G9/B] It was
[D] songs of love that I would
[F#m] sing to then
And I'd
[Bm] memo
[Bm/A] rize each
[Gmaj7] word
[C#m7] Those old
[Bm] melodies
Still sound so
[Bm/A] good to me
As they
[Gmaj7] melt the y
[Em7] ears a
[A] way.
[Chorus with variation][Asus4] Every
[D] sha-la-la-la, Every
[Bm] wo-o-wo-o
still
[D] shines
(All the oldies but the
[Bm] goodies)
Every
[D] shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're s
[Bm] tartin' to sing so
[Em7] fine
[A] [G/A] [A] All my
[Bm] best memories
come back
[A#aug] clearly to me
Some can
[D] even make me
[G#m7] cry.
Just like be

Kenny Rogers-The Gambler
[Verse - No drums] G C G
On a warm summer's evening on a train bound for nowhere
G G D
I met up with a gambler, we were both too tired to speak
G C G
So we took turns a-starin' out the window at the darkness
C G D7 G
'Til boredom overtook us and he began to speak.
G C G
He said, "Son, I've made a life out of readin' people's faces,
G D
Knowin' what their cards were by the way they held their eyes,
G C G
And if you don't mind me sayin', I can see you're out of aces,
C G D G
And for a taste of your whiskey I'll give you some advice."
(bass drum on 2 and 4 to begin with - no snare)
G C G
So I handed him my bottle and he drank down my last swallow;
G G D
Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light,
G C G
And the night got deathly quiet, and his face lost all expression,
C G D G
' said "If you're gon na play the game, boy, ya gotta learn to play it right.
[Chorus - Half time shuffle] G C G
You got to know when to hold 'em, Know when to fold 'em,
C G D
Know when to walk away And know when to run.
G D G C G
You never count your money When you're sittin' at the table;
C G D G
There'll be time enough for countin' When the dealin's done.
[Verse]A D A
Every gambler knows that the secret to survivin'
A E
Is knownin' what to throw away and knowin' what to keep
A E A D A
'Cause every hand's a winner, and every hand's a loser,
D A E A
And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep."
[Verse] A D A
And when he finished speakin', he turned back toward the window,
A E
Crushed out his cigarette and faded off to sleep, (drums stop)
A E A D A
And somewhere in the darkness, the gambler, he broke even,
D A E A
But in his final words I found an ace that I could keep.
[Chorus - Drums back in] A D A
You got to know when to hold 'em, Know when to fold 'em,
D A A E
Know when to walk away And know when to run.
A E A D A
You never count your money When you're sittin' at the table;
A D A E A
There'll be time enough for countin' When the dealin's done.
[Chorus] A D A
You got to know when to hold 'em, Know when to fold 'em,

Know when to walk away And know when to run.

Carrying me home to see my kin
Singing songs about the southland
I'm missing old mammie once again
And I think it's a sin, yes
[Riff] Well I heard Mr. Young sing about her (oo, oo, oo)
Well I heard old Neil put it down
Well I hope Neil Young will remember
A southern man don't need him around anyhow
[Chorus] Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you
[Solo 1] In Birmingham they loved the governor (oo, oo, oo F to C bit)
Now we all did what we could do
Now Watergate does not bother me
Does your conscience bother you?
Tell the truth
[Chorus] Here I come Alabama
[Solo - Alabam ah, ah, ah] [Riff] [Verse] Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers (oo, oo, oo)
And they've been known to pick a song or two (yes, they do)

They pick me up when I'm feeling blue
Now how about you?

Don Maclean-American Pie
[Intro BPM 138 - NO DRUMS]A
[G] long,
[D/F#] long time
[Em7] ago
[Am] I can still re
[C] member how that
[Em] music
used to make me
[D] smile
And
[G] I knew
[D/F#] if I had
[Em7] my chance
That
[Am] I could make those
[C] people dance and
[Em] maybe they'd be
[C] happy for a
[D] while
But
[Em] February
[Am] made me shiver,
[Em] with every
paper I'd
[Am] deliver
[C] Bad news
[G/B] on the
[Am] doorstep, I couldn't
[C] take one more step
[D]I
[G] can't remem
[D/F#] ber if I
[Em] cried when I
[Am7] read about his
[D] widowed bride
[G] Something
[D/F#] touched me
[Em] deep inside
The
[C] day the
[D7] music died
[G] [Chorus] So
[G] bye,
[C] bye Miss
[G] American
[D] Pie
Drove my
[G] Chevy to the
[C] levy but the
[G] levy was
[D] dry
And them
[G] good old
[C] boys were drinkin'
[G] whiskey and
[D] rye
Singin'
[Em*] this will be the day that I
[A7*] die,
[Em*] this will be the day that I die
[D7] (BASS IN AND DRUMS)
[Verse 2] [G] Did you write the
[Am] book of love
And do
[C] you have faith in
[Am] God above,
[Em] if the bible
[D] tells you so?
[G] Do you
[D/F#] believe in
[Em] rock and roll
Can
[Am7] music save your
[C] mortal soul and
[Em] can you teach me
[A7] how to dance
[D] real slow?
Well I
[Em*] know that you're in
[D*] love with him
'cuz I
[Em*] saw you dancin'
[D*] in the gym
You
[C] both kicked
[G/B] off your
[Am] shoes, man
I
[C] dig those rhythm and
[D7] blues
I was a
[G] lonely
[D/F#] teenage
[Em] bronckin' buck
with a
[Am] pink carnation and a
[C] pickup truck
But
[G] I knew
[D/F#] I was
[Em] out of luck the
[C] day the
[D7] music
[G] died
[C] ,
[G] I started
[D] singin'
[Chorus] So
[G] bye,
[C] bye Miss
[G] American
[D] Pie
Drove my
[G] Chevy to the
[C] levy but the
[G] levy was
[D] dry
And them
[G] good old
[C] boys were drinkin'
[G] whiskey and
[D] rye
Singin'
[Em*] this will be the day that I
[A7*] die,
[Em*] this will be the day that I die
[D7] [Verse 3] Now for
[G] ten years we've been
[Am] on our own
and
[C] moss grows fat on a
[Am] rolling stone
[Em] but that's not how it
[D] used to be
When the
[G] jester
[D/F#] sang for the king
[Em] and queen
in a
[Am7] coat he borrowed
[C] from James Dean
in a
[Em] voice that came
[A7] from you and
[D] me
Oh, and
[Em*] while the king was
[D*] looking down,
the
[Em*] jester stole his thorny
[D*] crown
The
[C] courtroom
[G/B] was ad
[A7] journed,
[C] no verdict was re
[D7] turned
And while
[G] Lennin read
[D/F#] a book
[Em] on Marx,
the
[Am] quartet practiced
[C] in the park
And
[G] we sang
[D/F#] dirges
[Em] in the dark the
[C] day the
[D7] music
[G] died
[C] ,
[G] we were
[D] singin'
[Chorus] [G] bye,
[C] bye Miss
[G] American
[D] Pie
Drove my
[G] Chevy to the
[C] levy but the
[G] levy was
[D] dry
And them
[G] good old
[C] boys were drinkin'
[G] whiskey and
[D] rye
Singin'
[Em*] this will be the day that I
[A7*] die,
[Em*] this will be the day that I die
[D7] [Verse 4] [G] Helter skelter in a
[Am] summer swelter
[C] the birds flew off with
[Am] a fallout shelter,
[Em] eight miles high and
[D] fallin' fast
[G] It landed
[D/F#] foul
[Em] on the grass
the
[Am7] players tried for a
[C] forward pass
[Em] with the jester on the
[A7] sidelines in a
[D] cast
Now the
[Em*] half-time air was
[D*] sweet perfume,
while
[Em*] sergeants played a
[D*] marching tune
[C] We all got
[G/B] up to dance
[A7] but we
[C] never got the
[D7] chance
'Cuz the
[G] players
[D/F#] tried to
[Em] take the field,
the
[Am] marching band re
[C] fused to yield
Do
[G] you re
[D/F#] call what
[Em] was revealed the
[C] day the
[D7] music
[G] died
[C] ,
[G] we started
[D] singin'
[Chorus] [G] bye,
[C] bye Miss
[G] American
[D] Pie
Drove my
[G] Chevy to the
[C] levy but the
[G] levy was
[D] dry
And them
[G] good old

[G] whiskey and
[D] rye
Singin'
[Em*] this will be the day that I
[A7*] die,
[Em*] this will be the day that I die
[D7] [Verse 5] And
[G] there we were all
[Am] in one place
a
[C] generation
[Am] lost in space,
[Em] with
no time left to
[D] start again
So come on
[G] Jack be
[D/F#] nimble,
[Em] Jack be
quick,
[Am7] Jack Flash sat on a
[C] candle
stick,
[Em] 'cuz fire is the devil's
[A7] only friend
[D] And as
[Em*] I watched him
[D*] on the stage, my
[Em*] hands were clenched in
[D*] fists of rage
No
[C] angel
[G/B] born in
[A7] Hell could
[C] break that Satan's
[D7] spell
And as the
[G] flames climbed
[D/F#] high into
[Em]the night to
[Am] light the sacri
[C] ficial rite
I saw
[G] Satan
[D/F#] laughing
[Em] with delight
the
[C] day the
[D7] music
[G] died
[C] [G] he was
[D] singin'
[Chorus] [G] bye,

Drove my

Singin'
[Em*] this will be the day that I
[A7*] die,
[Em*] this will be the day that I die
[D7] [DRUMS AND BASS STOPS][Verse 6] I
[G] met a
[D/F#] girl who
[Em] sang the blues
And I
[Am] asked her for some
[C] happy news, but
[Em] she just smiled and turned
[D] away
I
[G] went down
[D/F#] to the
[Em] sacred store
Where I'd
[Am] heard the music
[C] years before,
but
[Em] the man there said
[C] the music
wouldn't
[D] play
But
[Em*] in the streets the
[Am*] children screamed,
the
[Em*] lovers cried and the
[Am*] poets dreamed
But
[C] not a
[G/B] word was
[Am] spoken, the
[C] church bells all were
[D] broken
And the
[G] three men
[D/F#] I admire
[Em] most, the
[Am7] Father,
[C] Son, and the
[D7] Holy Ghost
[G] They caught the
[D/F#] last train
[Em] for
the coast the
[C] day the
[D7] music
[G] died,
[N.C.] And they were singin'
[Chorus] [G] bye,

Drove my
