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,
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 Cappella] A D A
You got to know when to hold 'em, Know when to fold 'em,
D 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.

[Verse] Big wheels keep on turning
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)
Lord they give me oh so much
They pick me up when I'm feeling blue
Now how about you?

[Riff] [E] x 2
[Verse + Riff - Full drums] [E] Hey, once I was a boogie singer
Playin' in a rock-and-roll band
I never had no problems
Burnin' down the one-night stands
And everything around me
Got to start to feelin' so low
And I decided quickly
Yes, I did
To disco down and check out the show
(Horn Riff 0x991212 xx771010 0x991212)
[Pre-Chorus - E7#9 or 076777] [E] Yeah they were dancin' and singin'
And movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me
Somebody turned around and shouted
[Chorus G7add9] [G7add9] "Play that funky music, white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music,
[A#7add9] white boy
[A7] Lay down that
[E7#9] boogie
And
[B7#9] play that funky music 'til you die."

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,

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,

[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,

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

[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

[D] broken
And the
[G] three men
[D/F#] I admire
[Em] most, the

[D7] Holy Ghost
[G] They caught the
[D/F#] last train

[Intro - BPM 75] Bm F# A E G D Em F# 2x
[Verse 1 - Drums in] [Bm] On a dark desert highway,
[F#] cool wind in my hair
[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] time of year, you can
[F#] find it here
[Verse 2] [Bm] Her mind is tiffany-twisted,
[F#] she got the Mercedes Benz
[A] She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that
[E] she calls friends
[G] How they dance in the courtyard,
[D] sweet summer sweat.
[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] [G] Welcome to the hotel Cali
[D] fornia;
[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
[Verse 3] [Bm] Mirrors on the ceiling,
[F#] the pink champagne on ice
[A] we are all just prisoners here,
[E] of our own device
[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,
[D] programmed to receive.
[Em] You can checkout any time you like,
[F#] (F#stop+snare) but you can never leave! (F#F#F#)
[Another Chorus? - use snare to bring back in] [G] Welcome to the hotel Cali
[D] fornia;
[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
