Immigrant Song

Ah, ah We come from the land of the ice and snow From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new land To fight the horde and sing, and cry Valhalla, I am coming On we sweep with, with threshing oar Our only goal will be the western shore Ah, ah We come from the land of the ice and snow From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow How soft your fields so green. Can whisper tales of gore Of how we calmed the tides of war. We are your overlords On we sweep with threshing oar Our only goal will be the western shore So now you'd better stop and rebuild all your ruins For peace and trust can win the day despite of all your losing Ooh. Ooh. Ooh. Ooh. Ooh Ooh. Ah Ooh. Ooh. Ooh. Ooh. Ooh Ooh. Ooh. Ooh. Ooh


Friends

Tuning: CGCGCE (Open C)
Bright light almost blinding, black night still there shining I can't stop, keep on climbing, looking for what I knew Had a friend, she once told me, "You got love, you ain't lonely" Now she's gone and left me only looking for what I knew Mmm, I'm telling you now, The greatest thing you ever can do now Is trade a smile with someone who's blue now, It's very easy just... Met a man on the roadside crying, without a friend, there's no denying You're incomplete, they'll be no finding looking for what you knew So anytime somebody needs you, don't let them down, although it grieves you Some day you'll need someone like they do, looking for what you knew Mmm, I'm telling you now, The greatest thing you ever can do now Is trade a smile with someone who's blue now, It's very easy just... I'm telling you now, the greatest thing you ever can do now Is trade a smile with someone who's blue now It's very easy... It's very easy... It's very easy... It's very easy...


Celebration Day

Her face is cracked from smiling, all the fears that she's been hiding And it seems pretty soon everybody's gonna know And her voice is sore from shouting, cheering winners who are losing And she worries if their days are few and soon they'll have to go My, my, my, I'm so happy, I'm gonna join the band We are gonna dance and sing in celebration, We are in the promised land She hears them talk of new ways to protect the home she lives in Then she wonders what it's all about when they break down the door Her name is Brown or White or Black, you know her very well You hear her cries of mercy as the winners toll the bell My, my, my, I'm so happy, I'm gonna join the band We are gonna dance and sing in celebration, We are in the promised land There is a train that leaves the station heading for your destination But the price you pay to nowhere has increased a dollar more Yes, it has! And if you walk you're gonna get there though it takes a little longer And when you see it in the distance you will wring your hands and moan


Since I've Been Loving You

Working from seven to eleven every night Really makes the life a drag I don't think that's right I've really been the best, the best of fools I did what I could 'Cause I love you, baby How I love you, darling How I love you, baby My beloved little girl, little girl But baby, since I've been loving you I'm about to lose my worried mind Everybody tryin' to tell me That you didn't mean me no good I've been trying Lord, let me tell you Let me tell you I really did the best I could I've been, I've been working from seven to eleven every night I said it kinda makes my life a drag, drag, drag, drag Lord, that ain't right, no, no Since I've been loving you I'm about to lose my worried mind Watch out! Said I've been crying Oh, my tears they fell like rain Don't you hear them Don't you hear them falling? Don't you hear them Don't you hear them falling? Do you remember mama, when I knocked upon your door? I said you had the nerve to tell me you didn't want me no more I open my front door, I hear my back door slam You know, I must have one of them newfangled, newfangled back door man I've been working from seven, seven, seven to eleven every night It kinda make my life a drag, a drag, drag Make me drag Baby, since I've been loving you I'm about to lose, I'm about to lose, lose my worried mind And just one more, just one more Since I've been loving you I'm gonna lose my worried mind


Out On The Tiles

As I walk down the highway all I do is sing this song And a train that's passin' my way helps the rhythm move along There is no doubt about the words are clear The voice is strong, is oh so strong I'm just a simple guy, I live from day to day A ray of sunshine melts my frown and blows my blues away There's nothing more that I can say but on a day like today I pass the time away and walk a quiet mile with you All I need from you is all your love All you got to give to me is all your love All I need from you is all your love All you got to give to me is all your love Oooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah, oh yeah I'm so glad I'm living and gonna tell the world I am I got me a fine woman and she says that I'm her man One thing that I know for sure gonna give her all the loving Like nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody can Standing in the noonday sun trying to flag a ride People go and people come, see my rider right by my side It's a total disgrace, they set the pace, it must be a race And the best thing I can do is run All I need from you is all your love All you got to give to me is all your love All I need from you is all your love All you got to give to me is all your love Oooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah, oh yeah


Gallows Pole

Hangman, hangman, hold it a little while I think I see my friends coming, Riding many a mile Friends, did you get some silver? Did you get a little gold? What did you bring me, my dear friends, To keep me from the Gallows Pole? What did you bring me to keep me from the Gallows Pole?

Tangerine

Measuring a summer's day, I only finds it slips away to grey The hours, they bring me pain Tangerine, Tangerine, Living reflection from a dream I was her love, she was my queen, And now a thousand years between Thinking how it used to be, Does she still remember times like these? To think of us again? And I do Tangerine, Tangerine, Living reflection from a dream I was her love, she was my queen, And now a thousand years between


That's The Way

I don't know how I'm gonna tell you I can't play with you no more I don't know how I'm gonna do what mama told me My friend, the boy next door I can't believe what people saying You're gonna let your hair hang down I'm satisfied to sit here working all day long You're in the darker side of town And when I'm out I see you walking Why don't your eyes see me Could it be you've found another game to play What did mama say to me That's the way, oh That's the way it ought to be Yeah, yeah, mama say That's the way it ought to stay And yesterday I saw you standing by the river And weren't those tears that filled your eyes And all the fish that lay in dirty water dying Had they got you hypnotized? And yesterday I saw you kissing tiny flowers But all that lives is born to die And so I say to you that nothing really matters And all you do is stand and cry I don't know what to say about it When all you ears have turned away But now's the time to look and look again at what you see Is that the way it ought to stay? That's the way... That's the way it oughta be Oh don't you know now, mama said.. That's the way it's gonna stay, yeah


Bron-Y-Aur Stomp

Ah, caught you smiling at me, that's the way it should be Like a leaf is to a tree, so fine Ah, all the good times we had, I sang love songs so glad Always smiling, never sad so fine As we walk down a country lane, I'll be singing a song You hear me calling your name Hear the wind whisper in the trees telling Mother Nature 'bout you and me Well, if the sun shines so bright, or our way is darkest night The road we choose is always right, so fine Ah, can a love be so strong when so many loves go wrong? Will our love go on and on, and on, and on, and on, and on? As we walk down a country lane, while singing a song Hear me calling your name Hear the wind whisper in the trees, telling Mother Nature 'bout you and me My, my la de la come on now it ain't too far Tell your friends all around the world Ain't no companion like a blue eyed merle Come on now, well let me tell you What you're missing, messing round them brick walls So of one thing I am sure, it's a friendship so pure Angels singing all around my door so fine Yeah, ain't but one thing to do spend my natural life with you You're the finest dog I knew so fine When you're old and your eyes are dim there ain't no old shep gonna happen again We'll still go walking down country lanes, I'll sing the same old song Hear me call your name
