Billy Joel-River of Dreams - sr - 200

[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

[Repeat until end]
[End]

Earth Wind And Fire-September

 Verse 1
          Dmaj7  C#m7
Do you remember 
    Bm7  F#m7       Dmaj7  C#m7
the 21st night of September?
         Bm7          F#m7         Dmaj7  C#m7 
Love was changing the minds of pretenders
       Bm7        Fm7    G/A
While chasing the clouds away

Verse 2 (DM7 - C#m7 - Bm7 - F#m7     G/A)
Our hearts were ringing
In the key that our souls were singing.
As we danced in the night,
Remember how the stars stole the night away

Chorus
Bm7   E7   C#m7          F#m7
Ba de ya - say do you remember
Bm7   E7   C#m7          F#m7
Ba de ya - dancing in September
Bm7   E7   C#m7          F#m7     G/A
Ba de ya - never was a cloudy day

Verse 3 (DM7 - C#m7 - Bm7 - F#m7     G/A)
My thoughts are with you
Holding hands with your heart to see you
Only blue talk and love,
Remember how we knew love was here to stay

Verse 4 (DM7 - C#m7 - Bm7 - F#m7     G/A)
Now December found the love that we shared in September.
Only blue talk and love,
Remember the true love we share today

[Chorus x 2]
