Wake up, Maggie, I think I got some-thing to say to you-
A G D
It's late September and I really should be back at school.
G D G A
I know I keep you amused, but I feel I'm being used.
Em F#m Em
Oh, Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more.
Em A Em A
You lured me away from home, just to save you from being alone.
Em A G D
You stole my heart and that's what really hurts.
A G D
The morning sun, when it's in your face really shows your age.
A G D
But that don't worry me none; in my eyes you're everything.

A G D
All I need was a friend to lend a guiding hand.
A G D
But you turned into a lover and Mother what a lover your wore me out.
G D G A
All you did was wreck my bed, and in the morning kick me in the head,
Em F#m Em
Oh, Maggie I couldn't have tried any more.
Em A Em A
You lured me away from home, just to save you from being alone.
Em A G D
You stole my heart I couldn't leave you if I tried.
A G D
I suppose I could collect my books and get back to school.
A G D
Or steal my daddy's cue and make a living out of playing pool.
G D G A
Or find myself a rock and roll band that needs a helping hand,
Em F#m Em
Oh, Maggie, I wish I'd never seen your face.
Em A
You made a first class fool out of me,
Em A
but I'm as blind as a fool can be.
Em A G D
You stole my heart, but I love you anyway.

Verse 1:
You have my heart,
and we'll never be worlds apart /
Maybe in magazines,
but you'll still be my star /
Baby, 'cause in the dark /
You can't see shiny cars /
And that's when you need me there /
With you I'll always share
Chorus
When the sun shines,
we'll shine together /
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your friend /
Took an oath, I'ma stick it out 'til the end
Now that it's raining more than ever /
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella /
You can stand under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh,
Verse 2:
These fancy things
will never come in between
You're part of my entity,
here for infinity
When the world has took its part
When the world has dealt its cards
If the hand is hard,
together we'll mend your heart

Who never ever learned to read or write so well,
A
But he could play the guitar just like a ringin' a bell.
CHORUS-
A
Go! Go! Go, Johnny, go! Go!
D
Go, Johnny, go! Go!
A
Go, Johnny, go! Go!
A E
Go, Johnny, go! Go! Johnny B. Goode
He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack,
Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track.
Old engineers would see him sittin' in the shade,
Strummin' with the rhythm that the drivers made.
When people passed him by they would stop and say,
'oh, my but that little country boy could play'
CHORUS
His mother told him, 'someday you will be a man,
You will be the leader of a big ol' band.
Many people comin' from miles around
Will hear you play your music when the sun go down.
Maybe someday your name'll be in lights,
Sayin' 'Johnny B. Goode tonight''

Keep it on a roll, only God knows

[Verse 1]
G Em7
It’s undeniable that we should be together.
C9 Am7 D7
It’s unbelievable, how I used to say that I’d fall never.
G Em7
The basis is ‘need to know’; if you don’t know just how I feel
Fmaj7 Em7 A7 A
Then let me show you that now that I’m for real
Fmaj7 Am7 D7
If all things in time, time will reveal. Yeah.

Fmaj7 Em A7 D7 G
If ever I believe my work is done, I’ll start back at one.

G Em7
It’s so incredible, the way things work themselves out,
C9 Am7 D7
And all emotional, once you know what it’s all about, hey,
G Em7
And undesirable, for us to be apart.
Fmaj7 Em7 A7 A
I never would’ve made it very far,
Fmaj7 Am7 D7
cause you know you got the keys to my heart.
[Chorus]

One, you’re like a dream come true. Two, just wanna’ be with you

G
If I should die before I wake,
F
It's 'cause you took my breath away
Am Cadd9
Losing you is like living in a world with no air, oh...
G
I'm here alone, didn't wanna leave,
F
My heart won't move, it's incomplete.
Am Cadd9
Wish there was a way that I could make you understand...
[Bridge]
G F Am
But how do you expect me to live alone with just me? 'Cause my world
Cadd9 G
revolves around you, it's so hard for me to breathe.
[Chorus]
G F
Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air?
Am
Can't live, can't breathe with no air
Cadd9
It's how I feel whenever you ain't there
G
It's no air, no air
G F
Got me out here in the water, so deep
Am
Tell me, how you gon' breathe without me?

If you ain't here I just can't breathe

Right off the ground to float to you

There's no gravity to hold me down,

But somehow I'm still alive inside

You took my breathe, but I survived

I don't how, but I don't even care

[Verse] Gm D7 F C Eb Bb Cm D7 x2
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway; I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself
This could be heaven or this could be hell
Then she lit up a candle, and she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor,
I thought I heard them say...
Chorus: Eb Bb D7 Gm Eb Bb Cm D7
Welcome to the Hotel California.
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place), such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year (any time of year), you can find it here
[Verse] Gm D7 F C Eb Bb Cm D7 x2
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends
She got a lot of pretty pretty boys she calls friends
How they danced in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
So I called up the captain; Please bring me my wine (he said)
We haven't had that spirit here since 1969
and still those voices are calling from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say...
Chorus] Eb Bb D7 Gm Eb Bb Cm D7
Welcome to the Hotel California.
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place), such a lovely face
They're livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise), bring your alibis
[Verse] Gm D7 F C Eb Bb Cm D7 x2
Mirrors on the ceiling; the pink champagne on ice (and she said)
We are all just prisoners here, of our own device
and in the master's chambers, they gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives but they just can't kill the beast
Last thing I remember, I was running for the door
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
"Relax" said the night man; we are programmed to receive
You can check out any time you like
But you can never leave...

F Am G F
I was tired of my lady,
Dm C G Dm7 C
we'd been together too long
G F Am G F
like a worn out recording
Dm C Em7 F C
of a favorite song.
Gm F Am G F
So while she lay there sleepin'
Dm C G Dm7 C
I read the paper in bed
Gm F Am G F
and in the personal columns
Dm C Em7 F C
there was this letter I read.
F Am G F
If you like piña coladas
Dm C G Dm7 C
and gettin' caught in the rain
Gm F Am G F
if you're not into yoga
Dm C Em7 F C
if you have half a brain
Gm F Am G F
if you like makin' love at midnight
Dm C G Dm7 C
in the dunes of a cape
Gm F Am G F
then I'm the love that you've looked for
Dm C Em7 F C
write to me and escape.
F | Am G F | Dm | C | G Dm7 C | Gm
F | Am G F | Dm | C | Em7 F C |
F Am G F
I didn't think about my lady,
Dm C G Dm7 C
I know that sounds kind of mean
Gm F Am G F
But me and my old lady
Dm C Em7 F C
had fallen into the same old dull routine
Gm F Am G F
So I wrote to the paper,
Dm C G Dm7 C
took out a personal ad
Gm F Am G F
And though I'm nobody's poet,
Dm C Em7 F C
I thought it wasn't half bad.
F Am G F
Yes, I like piña coladas
Dm C G Dm7 C
and getting caught in the rain
Gm F Am G F
I'm not much into health food,
Dm C Em7 F C
I am into champagne
Gm F Am G F
I've got to meet you by tomorrow noon
Dm C G Dm7 C
and cut through all this red tape
Gm F Am G F
At a bar called O'Malley's
Dm C Em7 F C
where we'll plan our escape.
F | Am G F | Dm | C | G Dm7 C | Gm
F | Am G F | Dm | C | Em7 F C |
F Am G F
So I waited with high hopes
Dm C G Dm7 C
and she walked in the place
Gm F Am G F
I knew her smile in an instant,
Dm C Em7 F C
I knew the curve of her face
Gm F Am G F
It was my own lovely lady
Dm C G Dm7 C
and she said, Aw, it's you.
Gm F Am G F
Then we laughed for a moment
Dm C Em7 F C
and I said, I never knew.
F Am G F
That you like piña coladas
Dm C G Dm7 C
and gettin' caught in the rain
Gm F Am G F
And the feel of the ocean
Dm C Em7 F C
and the taste of champagne
Gm F Am G F
If you like making love at midnight
Dm C G Dm7 C
in the dunes on the cape
Gm F Am G F
You're the lady I've looked for,
Dm C Em7 F C
come with me and escape
F | Am G F | Dm | C | G Dm7 C | Gm

Verse 1: Am Am Em Em (E7)
Easy come, easy go, that's just how you live, oh
Take, take, take it all, but you never give

Had your eyes wide open
Why were they open? (Ooh)

Verse 1: A few days before he turned 80
He was sittin' out back in a rocker
He said, "What you been up to lately?"
I told him, "Chasing a dollar"
And in between sips of coffee
He poured this wisdom out
Said, "If you want my two cents on making a dollar count
Chorus: Buy dirt
Find the one you can't live without
Get a ring, let your knee hit the ground
Do what you love but call it work
And throw a little money in the plate at church
Send your prayers up and your roots down deep
Add a few limbs to your family tree
And watch their pencil marks
And the grass in the yard all grow up"
'Cause the truth about it is
It all goes by real quick
You can't buy happiness
But you can buy dirt
Verse 2: Before you get caught on that ladder
Let me tell you what it's all about
Find you a few things that matter
That you can put a fence around
And then he laid it out

Because I am female I am expected to aspire to marriage
C#m D
I am expected to make my life choices always keeping in mind that marriage is the most important
C#m D
Now marriage can be a source of. Joy and love and mutual support
C#m D
But why do we teach girls to aspire to marriage and we don't teach boys the same?
C#m D
We raise girls to each other as competitors, not for jobs or for accomplishments, which
I think can be a good thing
C#m D
But for the attention of men. We teach girls that they cannot be sexual beings, in the
way that boys are

D#
Please stick to the rivers
A#
And the lakes that you're used to
F
I know that you're gonna have it your way
C
Or nothing at all
D# A#
But I think you're moving too fast
Come on, come on
[Verse]
F
I seen a rainbow yesterday
C
But too many storms have come and gone
D#
Leavin' a trace of not one God-given ray
Is it because my life is ten shades of gray?
A#
I pray all ten fade away
Seldom praise Him for the sunny days
F
And like His promise is true
C
Only my faith can undo
The many chances I blew
D#
To bring my life to anew
Clear blue and unconditional skies
A#
Have dried the tears from my eyes
No more lonely cries
F
My only bleedin' hope
Is for the folk who can't cope
C
With such an endurin' pain
That it keeps 'em in the pourin' rain
D#
Who's to blame for tootin' 'caine into your own vein?
A#
What a shame you shoot and aim for someone else's brain
F
You claim the insane and name this day in time
C
For fallin' prey to crime
I say the system got you victim to your own mind
D#
Dreams are hopeless aspirations
A#
In hopes of comin' true believe in yourself the rest is up to me and you
[Chorus]

Don't go chasing waterfalls

1st verse-
G D
He spends his nights in California,
Em C
Watching the stars on the big screen
G D
Then he lies awake and he wonders,
Em C
Why can't that be me?
G
Cause in his life he's filled
D
With all these good intentions
Em
He's left a lot of things
C G
He'd rather not mention right now
D
But just before he says goodnight,
Em C
He looks up with a little smile at me,
And he says...
chorus-
G D
If I could be like that,
I would give anything
Em C
Just to live one day, in those shoes
G D
If I could be like that,
Em
What would I do,
C
What would I do?
2nd verse-
G D
She spends her days up in the north park,
Em C
Watching the people as they pass
G
And all she wants is just
D
A little piece of this dream,
Em C
Is that too much to ask?
G D
With a safe home, and a warm bed,
Em C
On a quiet little street
G D
All she wants is just that something to
Em C
Hold onto, that's all she needs
Yeah!

(verse 1)
G
Sittin on a bench at West Town mall,
C-Csus4
He sat down in his overalls, and asked me,
C-Csus4
You waitin on a woman,

I nodded yes n' how bout you,
C-Csus4
He said son since 1952, I've been,

Waitin on a woman

When I picked her up for our first date,

But let me tell you son she sure looked pretty,
Dm C-F

Waitin on a woman
(verse 2)
He said the wedding took a year to plan,
You talk about an anxious man, I was nervous,
Waitin on a woman
And he nudged my arm like old men do, and said
I'll say this about the honeymoon, it was worth it,
Waitin on a woman
(chorus)
Am (G)
And I don't guess we'd been anywhere
F
She hasn't made us late I swear,
C G C
Sometimes she does it just cause she can do it,
Am (G)
Boy it's just a fact of life,
F

Dm C-F
she'll take her time, cause you don't mind,

So when it finally comes my time,

Intro- / G - F C / /
Listen, boy, I don't want to see you let
A good thing slip away
You know I don't like watching anybody make
The same mistakes I made
She's a real nice girl and she's always there for you
But a nice girl wouldn't tell you what you should do
/ G - / F C / - / Bm Bb Am - / Cm G Am AmC /
Oh, listen, boy, I'm sure that you think
You got it all under control
You don't want somebody telling you
The way to stay in someone's soul
You're a big boy now and you'll never let her go
But that's just the kind of thing she ought to know
... / Cm G Am GA /
{Refrain}
Tell her about it, tell her everything you feel
Give her every reason to accept that you're for real
Tell her about it, tell her all your crazy dreams
Let her know you need her, let her know how much she means
/ D - F#m - / Bm - Em EmA / -
Listen, boy, it's not automatically
A certain guarantee
To insure yourself you've got to provide
Communication constantly
When you love someone you're always insecure
And there's only one good way to reassure
{As Refrain}
Tell her about it, let her know how much you care
When she can't be with you tell her you wish you were there
Tell her about it everyday before you leave
Pay her some attention, give her something to believe
'Cause now and then she'll get to worrying
Just because you haven't spoken for so long
Though you may not have done anything
Will that be a consolation when she's gone
/ F Dm Eb - / Gm C D - / 1st / Gm C A - /
Listen, boy, it's good information
From a man who's made mistakes
Just a word or two that she gets from you
Could be the difference that it makes
She's a trusting soul, she's put her trust in you
But a girl like that won't tell you what you should do
{Refrain}
Tell her about it, tell her how you feel right now
Tell her about it, the girl don't want to wait too long
You got to tell her about it
Tell her now and you won't go wrong
You got to tell her about it before it gets too late
You got to tell her about it

Johny's in the basement
Mixing up the medicine
I'm on the pavement
Thinking about the government
The man in the trench coat
Badge out, laid off
Says he's got a bad cough
Wants to get it paid off
D
Look out kid
It's somethin' you did
A
God knows when
But you're doin' it again
You better duck down the alley way
Lookin' for a new friend

The man in the coon-skip cap
In the big pen

Wants eleven dollar bills
You only got ten.

Plants in the bed but

They must bust in early May
Orders from the DA

To know which way the wind blows.

Get back, write Braille
Get jailed, jump bail, Join the army, if you failed

Look out kid
You're gonna get hit

Six-time losers
Hang around the theaters

Lookin' for a new fool

Watch the parkin' meters.

Ah get born, keep warm
Short pants, romance, learn to dance

My baby want a Birkin, she's been tellin' me all night long
F#m A D/A A E/G#
Gasoline and groceries, the list goes on and on
This 9 to 5 ain't workin', why the hell do I work so hard?
I can't worry 'bout my problems, I can't take 'em when I'm gone, uh
Chorus:
One, here comes the two to the three to the four
Tell 'em bring another out, we need plenty more
Two steppin' on the table, she don't need a dancefloor
Oh my, good Lord
Someone pour me up a double shot of whiskey
They know me and Jack Daniels got a history
There's a party downtown near Fifth Street
Everybody at the bar gettin' tipsy
Everybody at the bar gettin' tipsy
Everybody at the bar gettin' tipsy
Verse 2:
I've been Boozey since I've left, I ain't changin' for a check
Tell my ma I ain't forget (oh, Lord)
Woke up drunk at 10 am, we gon' do this shit again
Tell your girl to bring a friend (oh, Lord)
Verse 1: C#m / E / C#m / F#m / Am E - -
Whenever I want you around, yeah.
All I gotta do,
Is call you on the phone,
And you'll come running home,
Yeah, that's all I gotta do.
Verse 2:
And when I, I want to kiss you, yeah.
All I gotta do,
Is whisper in your ear
The words you long to hear,
And I'll be kissin' you.
Chorus: F#m /
And the same goes for me, Whenever you want me at all.
C#m /
I'll be here, yes I will, whenever you call.

Chorus:
And the same goes for me,
Whenever you want me at all.
I'll be here, yes I will, whenever you call.
You just gotta call on me, yeah,
You just gotta call on me.
Verse 1:
Oh, once upon a midnight eerie I woke with something in my head
I couldn't escape the memory Of a phone call and of what you said
Like a game show contestant with a parting gift
I could not believe my eyes
When I saw through the voice of a trusted friend
Who needs to humor me and tell me lies,
yeah humor me and tell me lies
And I'll lie too and say I don't mind And as we seek so shall we find
And when you're feeling open I'll still be here
But not without a certain degree of fear
Well, what will be with you and me I still can see things hopefully
Chorus:
But you Why you wanna give me a run-around?
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up?
When all it does is slow me down
Verse 2:
Shake me and my confidence About a great many things
But I've been there I can see it cower
Like a nervous magician waiting in the wings
Of a bad play where the heroes are right
And nobody thinks or expects too much
And Hollywood's calling for the movie rights
Singing "Hey babe, let's keep in touch",
hey baby, let's keep in touch
But I want more than a touch I want you to reach me
And show me all the things no one else can see
So what you feel becomes mine as well
And soon if we're lucky we'd be unable to tell
What's yours and mine, the fishing's fine
And it doesn't have to rhyme, so don't you feed me a line
Chorus:
Verse 3:
Tra la la la la bombardier, this is the pilot speaking
I've got some news for you
It seems my ship still stands no matter what you drop
And there ain't a whole lot that you can do
Oh sure the banner may be torn and the wind's gotten colder
Perhaps I've grown a little cynical
But I know no matter what the waitress brings
I shall drink it and always be full, yeah I will drink it and always be full
Oh I like coffee and I like tea I'd like to be able to enter a final plea
I still got this dream that you just can't shake
I love you to the point you can no longer take
Well all right okay, so be that way
I hope and pray that there's something left to say

I walked forty-seven miles of barbed wire, I got a cobra snake for a necktie
A brand new house on the road side, and it's a-made out of rattlesnake hide
Got a band new chimney that I put on top, and it's a-made out of human skull
Come on take a little walk with me baby, and tell me who do you love?
[chorus 1]
Who do you love?
[verse 2]
Around the town I use a rattlesnake whip, take it easy baby don't you give me no lip
[chorus 2]
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
[verse 3]
I've got a tombstone hand and a graveyard mind, I'm just twenty-two and I don't mind dying
[chorus 3]
Who do you love?
Yeah, who do you love?
Ah, who do you love?
[solo]
[verse 4]
Now Arlene took a-me by my hand, she said lonesome George you know I understand
[chorus 4]
Who do you love?
[verse 5]
The night were dark and the sky were blue, down the alleyway a ice-wagon flew
Hit a bump and somebody screamed, you should've heard what I'd seen
[chorus 5]
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Yeah who do you love?
Ah, who do you love?
[solo]
[verse 6]
Yeah, I've got a tombstone hand in a graveyard mine
Just twenty-two baby I don't mind dying
Snake skin shoes baby put them on your feet
Got the good time music and the Bo Diddley beat
[chorus 6]
Yeah, who do you love?
Ooh, who do you love?
[verse 7]
I walked forty-seven miles of barbed wire, I got a cobra snake for a necktie
A brand new house out on the road side, and it's made out of rattle snake hide
Got a band new chimney that's been put on top, and it's made out of human skull
Come on take a little walk with me child, tell me who do you love?

Capo 3
Am G
It may not mean nothing to y'all
F
but understand nothing was done for me
Am
So I don't plan on stopping at all
I want this sh-t forever man, ever man, ever man
G
I'm shutting sh-t down at the mall
F
And telling every girl she the one for me
Am
And I aint even planning to call
I want this sh-t forever man, ever man, ever man
Am
Last name ever first name greatest
Like a sprained ankle boy ain't nothing to play with
It started off local but thanks to all the haters
I know G4 pilots on a first name basis
And your city faded off to brown, Nino
She insists she got more class, we know
Swimming in the money come and find me, nemo
If I was at the club you know I ball, Kimo
Drop the mixtape that sh-t sounded like an album
Who'd have thought a country wide tour would be the outcome
Labels want my name but sign the x like Malcom
Everybody got a deal, I did it without one
Yeah n-gga i'm about my business
Killing all these rappers you would swear I had a hit list
Everybody who doubted me is asking for forgivness
If you aint been a part of it at least you got to witness, b-tches
Chorus
Am
I used to have hood dreams, big fame, big chains
I stuck my d-ck inside this life until that b-tch came
I went hard all fall like the ball teams
Just so I can make it rain all spring
Y'all seen my story my glory
I had raped the game young, you can call it statutory
when a n-gga blow up they can build statures from me
Old money Benjamin Button, what, nuttin
Now superbad chicks giving me MacLovin
You would think I ran the world like Michelle's husband
You would think these n-ggas would know me when they really doesn't
Like they was down with the old me no you f-cking wasn't
Your'E such A F-cking loser
He didn't even go to class, Bueller
Trade the Grammy plaques just to have my granny back
Remember she had that bad hip like a fanny pack
Chasing that stardom would turn you into a maniac
All the way in Hollywood and I can't even act
They pull their cameras out and God damn they snap
I used to want this thing forever you can have it back
Chorus
Am
Okay, hello its da martian, space jam Jordan's
I want this sh-t forever, wake and smell the garden
Fresher than the harvest, step up to the target
If I had one guess than I guess I'm just New Orleans
And I will never stop like I'm running from the cops
Hop up in my car and told my chauffeur to the top
Life is like a f-cking roller coaster then it drops
But what should I scream for this is my theme park
My minds shine even when my thoughts seem dark
Pistol on my side you don't wanna hear that thing talk
Let the king talk check the price and pay attention
Lil Wayne, thats what they got to say or mention
I'm like Nevada in the middle of the summer
I'm resting in the lead I need a pillow and a cover
shhh, my foots sleeping on the gas
No brake pads no such thing as last
Chorus
Am
There they go, back in stadiums, it's shady's b-tches flow,
Nuts they go, macadamia they go sablistic yo,
We can make them look like boso's, he's wondering if he should spit this slow,
F-ck no go for broke, his cup just wanna throw over, oh no,
He aint had a buzz like this since the last time he overdosed,
They've been waiting patiently for Pinnochio to poke his nose,
Back into the game and they know, rap will never be the same as before,
Bashing in the brains of these hoes, and establishing a name as he goes,
The passion of the flame is ignited, you can't put it out once we light it,
This sh-t is exactly what the f-ck I'm talking about when we riot,
You dealing with a few true villains, who stayin inside the boots you spillin
And spit true feelings, til our tooth fillings come flying up out of our mouths now rewind it
Payback muthaf-cka for the way you got at me so how's it taste
When I slap the taste out your mouth with the bass so loud that it shakes the place,
I'm hannibal lecters son just in case your thinking of saving face,
You ain't gonna have no face to save by the time Im through with this place, so Drake

Make out like it never happened

And that we were nothing
D C B F
And I don't even need your love

But you treat me like a stranger
B F
And that feels so rough
D C B F
You didn't have to stoop so low
D C B
Have your friends collect your records

And then change your number
D C B F
I guess that I don't need that though
D C B F
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
D C D C D C D C
Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over

And I don't wanna live that way
D C D C
Reading into every word you say
D C D C
You said that you could let it go
D C D C D C D C
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know...
D C B F
But you didn't have to cut me off

Make out like it never happened

And that we were nothing

And I don't even need your love

But you treat me like a stranger

You didn't have to stoop so low
