songbook no 2a

bye bye Miss American Pie.

Drove my chevy to the levy but the levy was dry

And them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye

Singin' this'll be the day that I die

this'll be the day that I die.

I met a girl who sang the blues And I asked her for some happy news

But she just smiled and turned away

I went down to the sacred store Where I'd heard the music years before

But the man there said the music woudn't play

And in the streets the children screamed

The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed

But not a word was spoken The Church bells all were broken

And three men I admire most The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost

They caught the last train for the coast

The Day the Music Died.

And they were singing Chorus (2x)

All you need is love / Beatles

Love love love

There's nothing you can do that can't be done

Theres nothing you can sing that can't be sung

Nothing you can say but you can learn to play the game

It's easy

There's nothing you can make that can't be made

No one you can save that can't be saved

Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you in time

It's easy

CHORUS:

All you need is love

All you need is love love Love is all you need

There's nothing you can know that isn't known

Nothing you can see that isn't shown

Nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Its easy

CHORUS

Love is all you need

All you need is love

All together now All you need is love

Everybody now All you need is love

Love is all you need …………..

"Oh yeah - she loves you yeah yeah

yeah - she loves you yeah yeah yeah"

AND I LOVE HER / Beatles

I give her all my love

That's all I do

And if you saw my love

You'd love her too

I love her

She gives me everything

And tenderly

The kiss my lover brings

She brings to me

And I love her

% A love like ours, could never die

As long as I have you near me

Bright are the stars that shine

Dark is the sky

I know this love of mine

Will never die

And I love her %

Back to you / bryan adams

I've been down - I've been beat

I've been so tired - that I could not speak

I've bin so lost that I could not see

I wanted things that were out of reach

Then I found you and you helped me through

and ya showed me what to do

that's why I'm comin' back to you...

CHORUS:

Like a star that guides a ship across the ocean

that's how your love can take me home back to you

and if I wish upon that star,

that someday I'll be where you are

I know that day is comin' soon, yeah I'm coming back to you

You've been alone, ya didn't show it

You've been in pain when I did not know it

You let me do what I needed to ,

Mighta let you down, mighta messed you round

But ya never changed your point of view

That's why I'm coming back to you

CHORUS

Mighta let you down, mighta messed you round

But ya never changed your point of view

That's why I'm coming back to you

CHORUS

Bus stop / The Hollies

Bus stop, wet day, she's there, I say

Please share my umbrella

Bus stop, bus goes, she stays, love grows

Under my umbrella

All that summer we enjoyed it

Wind and rain and shine

That umbrella, we employed it

By August, she was mine

Chorus:

Every morning I would see her waiting at the stop

Sometimes she'd shopped and she would show me what she bought

Other people stared as if we were both quite insane

Someday my name and hers are going to be the same

Verse 2:

That's the way the whole thing started

Silly but it's true

Thinkin' of a sweet romance

Beginning in a queue

Came the sun the ice was melting

No more sheltering now

Nice to think that that umbrella

Led me to a vow

Cowgirl In The Sand / Neil Young

Hello cowgirl in the sand, hello cowgirl in the sand.

Is this place at your command?

Can I stay here for a while? Can I see your sweet, sweet smile?

Old enough, now, to change your name when so many love you, is it the same?

It's the woman in you that makes you want to play this game

Hello ruby in the dust, hello ruby in the dust

Has your band begun to rust?

After all the sin we've had I was hoping that we'd turn back

Old enough, now, to change your name when so many love you, is it the same?

It's the woman in you that makes you want to play this game

Hello, woman of my dreams. hello woman of my dreams

Is it not the way it seems?

Purple words on a gray background, to be a woman and to be turned down

Old enough, now, to change your name when so many love you, is it the same?

It's the woman in you that makes you want to play this game

Fields of Gold / Sting

You'll remember me When the West Wind moves

Upon the fields of Barley

You'll forget the sun In his jealous sky

As we lie in fields of gold

So she took her love For to gaze awhile

Upon the fields of Barley

In his arms she fell As her hair came down

among the fields of gold

Will you stay with me Will you be my love

among the fields of Barley

We'll forget the sun In his jealous sky

As we lie in fields of gold

See the west wind move Like a lover so

Upon the fields of barley

Feel her body rise When you kiss her mouth

among the fields of gold

I never made promises lightly

And there have been some that I've broken

But I swear in the days still left

We'll walk in fields of gold

Many years have passed Since those summer days

Upon the fileds of Barley

See the children run As the sun goes down

among the fields of gold

You'll remember me When the West Wind moves

Upon the fields of Barley

You'll forget the sun In his jealous sky

As we lie in fields of gold

All by myself, to wonder and groan.

Oh time had all my love, for you.

Verse 3:

It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log,

But when I get home to you, I find the things that you do,

Will make me feel alright.

You know I work all day, to get you money to buy you things,

And it's worth it just to hear you say, you're gonna give me everything.

So why on earth should I moan, 'cause when I get you alone,

You know I'll be okay.

When I'm home, everything seems to be right;

When I'm home, feeling you holding me tight, tight, yeah.

Heaven / bryan adams

Oh thinking about all our younger years;

there was only you and me; we were young and wild and free.

Now nothing can take you away from me;

we’ve been down that road before, but that’s over now;

you keep me coming back for more.

Refrain:

And baby, you’re all that I want, when you’re lying here in my arms.

I’m finding it hard to believe we’re in heaven.

And love is all that I need, and I found it there in you’re heart.

It isn’t too hard to see we’re in heaven.

Oh once in your life you will find someone

who will turn your world around; bring you up when you’re feeling down.

Yeah, nothing could change what you mean to me.

Oh, there’s lots that I could say; just hold me now,

‘cause our love will light the way.

Refrain ….

I’ve been waiting for so long for something to arrive; for love to come along.

Now our dreams are coming true, through the good times and the bad.

Yeah, I’ll be standing there by you.

Refrain ......

Here Comes the Sun / George Harrison

Little darling,

It's been a long, cold, lonely winter.

Little darling,

It feels like years since it's been here.

Here comes the sun.

Here comes the sun,

And I say, it's all right

Little darling,

The smiles returning to their faces.

Little darling,

It feels like years since it's been here.

Here comes the sun.

Here comes the sun,

And I say, it's all right.

Little darling,

I feel that ice is slowly melting.

Little darling,

It feels like years since it's been clear.

Here comes the sun.

Here comes the sun,

And I say, it's all right.

Hey Hey, My My / Neil Young

Hey hey, my my

Rock and roll will never die

There's more to the picture

Than meets the eye

Hey hey, my my

Out of the blue and into the black

You pay for this and they give you that

Once you're gone, you can't come back

When you're out of the blue

And into the black

The king is gone but he's not forgotten

Is the story of Johnny Rotten?

It's better to burn out 'cause rust never sleeps

The king is gone but he's not forgotten

Hey hey, my my

Rock and roll will never die

There's more to the picture

Than meets the eye

Horse with no name / America

On the first part of the journey

I was lookin at all the life

There were plants and birds and rocks and things

There were sand and hills and rings

The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz

and the sky with no clouds

the heat was hot and the ground was dry

but the air was full of sound

Chorus

I've been through the desert on a horse with no name

it felt good to be out of the rain

in the desert you can remember your name

'cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain

la la la la lalala la la la la la

After two days in the desert sun

my skin began to turn red

After three days in the desert fun

I was looking at a river bed

And the story it told of a river that flowed

made me sad to think it was dead

chorus

After nine days I let the horse run free

'cause the desert had turned to sea

there were plants and birds and rocks and things

there were sand and hills and rings

The ocean is a desert with it's life underground

and the perfect disguise above

Under the cities lies a heart made of ground

but the humans will give no love

chorus

I DON'T WANT TO SPOIL THE PARTY / Beatles

I don't want to spoil the party so I'll go

I would hate my disappointment to show

There's nothing for me here so I will disappear

If she turns up while I'm gone please let me know

I've had a drink or two and I don't care

there's no fun in what I do if she's not there

I wonder what went wrong I've waited far too long

I think I'll take a walk and look for her

CHORUS:

Though tonight she's made me sad

I still love her

If I find her I'll be glad

I still love her

I don't want to spoil the party so I'll go

I would hate my disappointment to show

There's nothing for me here so I will disappear

If she turns up while I'm gone please let me know ..

CHORUS

I've had a drink or two and I don't care

there's no fun in what I do if she's not there

I wonder what went wrong I've waited far too long

I think I'll take a walk and look for her

I Feel Fine / Beatles

Baby's good to me, you know,

she's happy as can be, you know, she said so.

I'm in love with her and I feel fine.

Baby says she's mine, you know,

she tells me all the time, you know, she said so.

I'm in love with her and I feel fine.

I'm so glad that she's my little girl.

She's so glad, she's telling all the world.

That her baby buys her things, you know,

he buys her diamond rings, you know, she said so.

She's in love with me and I feel fine.

I’m Happy Just To Dance With You / Beatles

Before this dance is through

I think I'll love you too,

I'm so happy when you dance with me.

I do want to kiss or hold your hand,

If it's funny try and understand.

There is really nothing else I'd rather do

'Cause I'm happy just to dance with you.

I don't need to hug or hold you tight,

I just wanna dance with you all night.

In this world there's nothing I would rather do,

'Cause I'm happy just to dance with you.

chorus:

Just to dance with you, (oh oh)

Is everything I need (oh oh)

Before this dance is through,

I think I'll love you too,

I'm so happy when you dance with me.

If somebody tries to take my place,

Let's pretend we just can't see his face.

In this world there's nothing I would rather do,

Cause I'm happy just to dance with you

chorus

I've discovered I'm in love with you (oh oh)

Cause I'm happy just to dance with you

oh oh oh oh oh!

ITS ALL OVER NOW,BABY BLUE / Bob Dylan

You must leave now take what you need you think will last

But whatever you wish to keep you better grab it fast

Yonder stands your orphan with his gun

Crying like a fire in the sun.

Look out the Saints are comin' through

And it's all over now, Baby Blue.

The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense

Take what you have gathered from coincidence

The empty handed painter from your streets

Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets

This sky too, is folding under you

And it's all over now, Baby Blue.

All your seasick sailors, they are rowing home

All your reindeer armies, are all going home

The lover who just walked out your door

Has taken all his blankets from the floor

The carpet too, is moving under you

And it's all over now, Baby Blue.

Leave your stepping stone behind, something calls for you

Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you

The vagabond who's rapping at your door

Is standing in the clothes that you once wore

Strike another match, go start a new

And it's all over now, Baby Blue.

I've Just Seen A Face / Beatles

I've just seen a face I can't for get the time or place where we just met

She's just the girl for me and I want all the world to see we've met

Na na na na na na

Had it been another day I might have looked the other way

and I'd have never been aware but as it is I'll dream of her tonight

Da da da da da da

Chorus

Falling yes I falling and she keeps calling me back again

I have never known the likes of this I've been alone and I have Missed

things and kept out of sight but as it is I'll dream of her tonight

Da da da da da da

{c:Repeat chorus.}

{c:Repeat first verse.}

{c:Repeat chorus 3 times to end.}

Long May You Run / Neil Young

We've been through some things together,

With trunks of memories still to come.

We found things to do in stormy weather.

Long may you run.

chorus

Long may you run, long may you run,

Although these changes have come.

With your chrome heart shinin'

in the sun, long may you run.

Well it was back in Blind River in nineteen sixtytwo

When I last saw you alive.

But we missed that ship on the long decline.

Long may you run.

chorus

Maybe the Beach Boys have got you now

With those waves singin' Caroline.

Rollin' down that empty ocean road,

Get into the surf on time.

chorus

No Reply / Beatles

-VERSE 1-

This happened once before When I came to your door

No reply

They said it wasn't you But I saw you peep through

Your window

I saw the light

I know that you saw me 'Cause I looked up to see

Your face

-VERSE 2-

I tried to telephone They said you were not home

That's a lie

'Cause I know where you've been I saw you walk in

Your door

I nearly died

'Cause you walked hand in hand With another man

In my place

If I were you I'd realize that I

Love you more than any other guy

And I'll forgive the lies that I

Heard before when you gave me no reply

(Repeat VERSE 2)

Pocohontas / Neil Young

Aurora Borealis The icy sky at night

Paddles cut the water In a long and hurried flight

From the white man to the fields of green

and the homeland we've never seen

They killed us in our teepee And they cut our women down

They might have left some babies Cryin' on the ground

But the firesticks and the wagons come

And the night falls on the settin' sun

They massacred the buffalo Kitty corner from the bank

The taxis run across my feet And my eyes have turned to blanks

In my little box at the top of the stairs

With my indian rug and a pipe to share

I wish I was a trapper I would give a thousand pelts

To sleep with Pocohontas and find out how she felt

In the mournin' on the fields of green

In the homeland we've never seen

And maybe Marlon Brando Will be there by the fire

We'll sit and talk of Hollywood And the good things there for hire

And the Astradome and the first teepee

Marlon Brando, Pocohontas and me

Pocohontas

Rave On / Buddy Holly

A-a-a-a well the little things you say and do,

they make me want to be with you hoo-hoo.

Rave on: It's a crazy feeling and I know

it's got me reeling when you say,

'I love you,' rave on.

The way you dance and you hold me tight,

the way you kiss and you say good-ni-hi-hight;

Rave on: It's a crazy feeling and I know

it's got me reeling when you say, 'I love you,' rave on.

A-well rave on: It's a crazy feeling

and I know it's got me reeling

I'm so glad that you're leaving your love for me!

Rave on, rave on and tell me,

tell me not to be lonely,

tell me your love me only

rave on me, rave on to me.

Rockin' In the Free World / Neil Young

Colors on the street

Red, white, and blue

people shufflin their feet

people sleepin in their shoes

There's a warnin sign on the road ahead

there's a lot of people thinking we'd be better off dead

Don't feel like Satan, but I am to them

so I try to forget it any way I can

% Keep on rockin in the free world %

I see a woman in the night

with a baby in her hand

under an old street light

near a garbage can

now she puts the kid away cause she's gotta get a hit

she hates her life and what she's done with it

that's one more kid that'l never go to school

never get to fall in love, never get to be cool

% Keep on rockin in the free world %

We gotta thousand points of light

for the homeless man

we've got a kinder, gentler, machine gun hand

We've got department stores and toilet paper

styrofoam garbage for the ozone layer

got a man of the people, says keep hope alive

got fuel to burn, roads to drive

% Keep on rockin in the free world %

Satisfaction / Rolling Stones

I can't get no satisfaction I can't get no satisfaction

Cause I try__ and I try___ and I try__ and try__

I can't get no I can't get no

When I'm driving in my car

and the man comes on the radio

he's telling me more and more

about some useless information

supposed to drive my imagination

I can't get no

Oh no no no hey hey hey

That's what I say

When I'm watchin' my TV

and that man comes on to tell me

how white my shirts can be

Well he can't be a man 'cause he doesn't smoke

the same cigarettes as me

I can't get no

oh no no no

Hey hey hey that's what I say

Chorus

When I'm ridin' 'round the world

and I'm doin' this and I'm signing that

And I'm tryin' to make some girl

who tells me "Baby better come back next week

'cause you see I'm on a losin' streak"

I can't get no

oh no no no

Hey hey hey that's what I say

Things We Said Today / Beatles

You say you will love me,

if I have to go. You'll be thinking of me, somehow I will know

Someday when I'm lonely, wishing you weren't so far away.

Then I will remember things we said today.

You say you'll be mine girl, 'till the end of time.

These days such a kind girl, seems so hard to find.

Someday when we're dreaming, deep in love, not a lot to say.

Then we will remember things we said today.

Me I'm just the lucky kind, love to hear you say that love is love

And though we may be blind, love is here to stay and that's

enough to make you mine girl, be the only one.

Love me all the time girl, we'll go on and on

Someday when we're dreaming, deep in love, not a lot to say.

Then we will remember things we said today.
