America-Horse With No Name
[Intro - BPM 123 - No drums]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
[Em9] La, la, la l
[Dmaj9] ala la la la, la, la
[Em9] La, la, la l
[Dmaj9] ala la la la, la, la

Gloria Gaynor-I Will Survive
[Intro] [E7b9-020101] [Verse 1] At
[Am] first I was afraid, I was
[Dm] petrified,
Kept thinking
[G] I could never live without you
[Cmaj7] by my side.
But then I
[Fmaj7] spent so many nights, thinking
[Bm7b5-x20201] how you did me wrong,
And I grew
[Esus4] strong; and I learned
[E] how to get along.
And so you're
[Am] back, from outer
[Dm] space,
I just walked
[G] in to find you here, with that sad
[Cmaj7] look upon your face.
I should have
[Fmaj7] changed that stupid lock,
I should have
[Bm7b5] made you leave your key,
If I had
[Esus4] known for just one second, you'd be
[E] back to bother me.
[Chorus] Go on now,
[Am] go; walk out the
[Dm] door;
Just turn a
[G] round now, 'cos you're not
[Cmaj7] welcome any more.
[Fmaj7] Weren't you the one who tried to
[Bm7b5] hurt me with goodbye?
Did you think I'd
[Esus4] crumble; did you think I'd
[E] lay down and die?
Oh no, not
[Am] I; I will sur
[Dm] vive,
Oh, as
[G] long as I know how to love, I
[Cmaj7] know I'll stay alive.
I've got
[Fmaj7] all my life to live, I've got
[Bm7b5] all my love to give,
And I'll sur
[Esus4] vive, I will sur
[E] vive, hey he
[Am] y
[Interlude] [Am] [Dm] [G] [Cmaj7] [Fmaj7] [Bm7b5] [Esus4] [E] [Verse 2] It took
[Am] all the strength I had not to
[Dm] fall apart.
Kept trying
[G] hard to mend the pieces of my
[Cmaj7] broken heart.
And I spent
[Fmaj7] oh, so many nights, just feeling
[Bm7b5] sorry for myself,
I used to
[Esus4] cry, but now I
[E7] hold my head up high.
And you see
[Am] me; somebody
[Dm] new,
I'm not that
[G] chained up little person, still in
[Cmaj7] love with you.
And so you
[Fmaj7] felt like dropping in and just ex
[Bm7b5] pect me to be free,
Now I'm
[Esus4] saving all my loving, for some
[E] one who's loving me.
[Chorus] Go on now,
[Am] go; walk out the
[Dm] door;
Just turn a
[G] round now, 'cos you're not
[Cmaj7] welcome any more.
[Fmaj7] Weren't you the one who tried to
[Bm7b5] break me with goodbye?
Did you think I'd
[Esus4] crumble; did you think I'd
[E] lay down and die?
Oh no, not

Oh, as

[Cmaj7] know I'll stay alive.
I've got
[Fmaj7] all my life to live, I've got
[Bm7b5] all my love to give,
And I'll sur
[Esus4] vive, I will sur
[E] vive... oh
[Chorus] Go on now,
[Am] go; walk out the
[Dm] door;
Just turn a
[G] round now, 'cos you're not
[Cmaj7] welcome any more.
[Fmaj7] Weren't you the one who tried to
[Bm7b5] break me with goodbye?
Did you think I'd

[E] lay down and die?
Oh no, not

Oh, as

[Cmaj7] know I'll stay alive.
I've got
[Fmaj7] all my life to live, I've got
[Bm7b5] all my love to give,
And I'll sur
[Esus4] vive, I will sur
[E] vive, I will sur
[Am] vive...
[Solo] [Am] [Dm] [G] [Cmaj7] [Fmaj7] [Bm7b5] [Esus4] [E] [Verse 3] It took
[Am] all the strength I had not to
[Dm] fall apart.
Kept trying
[G] hard to mend the pieces of my
[Cmaj7] broken heart.
And I spent
[Fmaj7] oh, so many nights, just feeling
[Bm7b5] sorry for myself,
I used to

Everything is nothing if you got no one
And you did
[F] walk in the night
[F] Slowly losing sight of the
[C] real thing.
(Both)
But
[C] that won't happen to us and we got no doubt
Too deep in love and we got no way out
And the
[F] messages is clear
[F] This could be the year of the
[C] real thing.
(Dolly)
[C] No more will you
[Fmaj7] cry baby
I will hurt you
[F] never.
(Both)
We
[Fm] start and end as one in love forever
We can
[C] ride it together
[F] uh
[C] huh
Making love with each other
[F] uh
[C] huh.
[C] Islands in the stream
That is what we
[F] are
No one
[Dm] in between how can
[Dm7] we be wrong?
[C] Sail away with me to a
[F] nother world
And we re
[C] ly on each other

I thought that they were out of their minds
How could I be so foolish
To not see I was the one behind
So still I kept on fighting
Well, losing every step by the way

I said, I must go back there
I got to go back
And check to see if things still the same

Playin' in a rock-and-roll band

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

'Til you die?
[Verse + Riff] [E] I tried to understand this
I thought that they were out of their minds
How could I be so foolish
To not see I was the one behind
So still I kept on fighting
Well, losing every step by the way
... we can do
I said, I must go back there
I got to go back
And check to see if things still the same

Gloria Gaynor-I Will Survive
[Intro] [E7b9-020101] [Verse 1] At
[Am] first I was afraid, I was
[Dm] petrified,
Kept thinking
[G] I could never live without you
[Cmaj7] by my side.
But then I
[Fmaj7] spent so many nights, thinking
[Bm7b5-x20201] how you did me wrong,
And I grew
[Esus4] strong; and I learned
[E] how to get along.
And so you're
[Am] back, from outer
[Dm] space,
I just walked
[G] in to find you here, with that sad
[Cmaj7] look upon your face.
I should have
[Fmaj7] changed that stupid lock,
I should have
[Bm7b5] made you leave your key,
If I had
[Esus4] known for just one second, you'd be
[E] back to bother me.
[Chorus] Go on now,
[Am] go; walk out the
[Dm] door;
Just turn a
[G] round now, 'cos you're not
[Cmaj7] welcome any more.
[Fmaj7] Weren't you the one who tried to
[Bm7b5] hurt me with goodbye?
Did you think I'd
[Esus4] crumble; did you think I'd
[E] lay down and die?
Oh no, not
[Am] I; I will sur
[Dm] vive,
Oh, as
[G] long as I know how to love, I
[Cmaj7] know I'll stay alive.
I've got
[Fmaj7] all my life to live, I've got
[Bm7b5] all my love to give,
And I'll sur
[Esus4] vive, I will sur
[E] vive, hey he
[Am] y
[Interlude] [Am] [Dm] [G] [Cmaj7] [Fmaj7] [Bm7b5] [Esus4] [E] [Verse 2] It took
[Am] all the strength I had not to
[Dm] fall apart.
Kept trying
[G] hard to mend the pieces of my
[Cmaj7] broken heart.
And I spent
[Fmaj7] oh, so many nights, just feeling
[Bm7b5] sorry for myself,
I used to
[Esus4] cry, but now I
[E7] hold my head up high.
And you see
[Am] me; somebody
[Dm] new,
I'm not that
[G] chained up little person, still in
[Cmaj7] love with you.
And so you
[Fmaj7] felt like dropping in and just ex
[Bm7b5] pect me to be free,
Now I'm
[Esus4] saving all my loving, for some
[E] one who's loving me.
[Chorus] Go on now,
[Am] go; walk out the
[Dm] door;
Just turn a
[G] round now, 'cos you're not
[Cmaj7] welcome any more.
[Fmaj7] Weren't you the one who tried to
[Bm7b5] break me with goodbye?
Did you think I'd
[Esus4] crumble; did you think I'd
[E] lay down and die?
Oh no, not
[Am] I; I will sur

Oh, as
[G] long as I know how to love, I
[Cmaj7] know I'll stay alive.
I've got
[Fmaj7] all my life to live, I've got
[Bm7b5] all my love to give,
And I'll sur
[Esus4] vive, I will sur
[E] vive... oh
[Chorus] Go on now,
[Am] go; walk out the
[Dm] door;
Just turn a
[G] round now, 'cos you're not
[Cmaj7] welcome any more.
[Fmaj7] Weren't you the one who tried to
[Bm7b5] break me with goodbye?
Did you think I'd
[Esus4] crumble; did you think I'd
[E] lay down and die?
Oh no, not

Oh, as

[Cmaj7] know I'll stay alive.
I've got
[Fmaj7] all my life to live, I've got
[Bm7b5] all my love to give,
And I'll sur
[Esus4] vive, I will sur
[E] vive, I will sur
[Am] vive...
[Solo] [Am] [Dm] [G] [Cmaj7] [Fmaj7] [Bm7b5] [Esus4] [E] [Verse 3] It took
[Am] all the strength I had not to
[Dm] fall apart.
Kept trying
[G] hard to mend the pieces of my
[Cmaj7] broken heart.
And I spent
[Fmaj7] oh, so many nights, just feeling
[Bm7b5] sorry for myself,
I used to

[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
(Drum roll - use electronic bass drum pedal)
(straight 8 notes)
----BBBB-B+SBBB-BBBB-------S

SBSB SBSB SBSB SBS "shouted" for final snare
Somebody turned around and shouted

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."
'Til you die?
[Verse + Riff] [E] I tried to understand this
I thought that they were out of their minds
How could I be so foolish
To not see I was the one behind
So still I kept on fighting
Well, losing every step by the way
... we can do
I said, I must go back there
I got to go back
And check to see if things still the same
[Pre-Chorus] [E7#9 or 076777] 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

And
[B7#9] play that funky music 'til you die."
'Til you die?
Oh, 'til you die
Gonna play some electrified funky music
[Solo - All over riff - E7#9] [Verse + Riff] [E] Hey, wait a minute
Now first it wasn't easy
Changing rock-and-rolling minds
And things were gettin' shaky
I thought I'd have to leave it behind
Oh, but now it's so much better (it's so much better)
I'm funking out in every way
But I'll never lose that feelin' (you know, I won't)
Of how I learned my lesson that day
[Pre-Chorus] [E7#9 or 076777] Yeah they were dancin' and singin'
And movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me
Somebody turned around and shouted (drum roll)
[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

And

Oh, 'til you die
They shouted
[Chorus - All G7] "Play that funky music
Play that funky music
Play that funky music
You got to keep on playin' funky music
Play that funky music
Play that funky music
Play that funky music
Gonna take you high and low."

Play that funky music, white boy

comes in the last beat of 2 so on the &2 of 1 2 3 1&2
Play G1 G2 G3 G1+Snare (stop) then sing 'and id' with no guitar
Important that the strings drone lots - open strings also
works as well in places

[Intro - BPM 98 - riff on own - then riff and drums](notes - Wheels, Well I Heard, In Birmingham, Muscle Shoals)
[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?

Don Maclean-American Pie
[Intro BPM 138]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] [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
[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 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,
[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 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,
[C] bye Miss
[G] American
[D] Pie
Drove my
[G] Chevy to the
[C] levy but the
[G] levy was
[D] dry

Run down - D 0 - A- 3 2 0 then play G - don't pull off play first
with first finger then rest with thumb

[Intro - BPM 98 - riff on own - then riff and drums](notes - Wheels, Well I Heard, In Birmingham, Muscle Shoals)
[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?
