ACROSS THE GREAT DIVIDEKate Wolf

I've been walkin' in my sleepCountin' troubles 'stead of countin' sheepWhere the years went I can't sayI just turned around and they've gone away

A - - - / A - D - / A - - - / - - - > / F#m - - - / / D - - - / /A - - - / - - - > / F#m - - - / / D - - - / E - - - / A - - - / //

I've been siftin' through the layersOf dusty books and faded papersThey tell a story I used to knowAnd it was one that happened so long ago

C: It's gone away in yesterdayNow I find myself on the mountainsideWhere the rivers change directionAcross the Great Divide

A - - - / A - D - / A - - - / - - - > / F#m - - - / / D - - - / /A - G#m - / F#m - - - / D - E - / A - - - / //

Now, I heard the owl a-callin'Softly as the night was fallin'With a question and I repliedBut he's gone across the borderline

C: He's gone away in yesterdayNow I find myself on the mountainsideWhere the rivers change directionAcross the Great Divide

(Solo on verse)

The finest hour that I have seenIs the one that comes betweenThe edge of night and the break of dayIt's when the darkness rolls away

C: And it's gone away in yesterdayNow I find myself on the mountainsideWhere the rivers change directionAcross the Great Divide

C: And it's gone away in yesterdayNow I find myself on the mountainsideIt's where the rivers change directionAcross the Great Divide© 1981 Rhino Records/Another Sundown Publishing/Kate Wolf:: on her Close to You", and on Nanci Griffith "Other Voices, Other

DOCK OF THE BAYOtis Redding and Steve Cropper

Sittin' in the mornin' sunI'll be sittin' when the evenin' comesWatchin' the ships roll inAnd I watch 'em roll away again

I left my home in GeorgiaHeaded for the Frisco BayI have nothin' to live forLook like nothin's gonna come my way

G - D - / C - - - / x2 / x2 / F - - - / / D - - - / //

Sittin' here restin' my bonesWish this loneliness would leave me aloneFor 2,000 miles I roamJust to make this dock my home

I've walked these mountains in the rain, I've learned to love the wind

I've been up before the sunrise to watch the day beginAnd I always knew I'd find you, though I never did know howLike sunshine on cloudy day you stand before me now

C: So give yourself to love, if love is what your afterOpen up your hearts to the tears and laughterGive yourself to love, give yourself to love

Love is born in fire and planted like a seedLove can't give you everything, but it will give you what you

needLove comes when you are ready, love comes when you are afraidIt will be your best teacher, the best friend you have ever made

C: So give yourself to love, if love is what your afterOpen up your hearts to the tears and laughterGive yourself to love, give yourself to love

C: Give yourself to love, if love is what your afterOpen up your hearts to the tears and laughterGive yourself to love, give yourself to love

HOMEWARD BOUNDPaul Simon

(Capo 3rd Fret)

I'm sittin' in a railway station, got a ticket for my destinationOn a tour of one night stands, my suitcase and guitar in handAnd every stop is neatly planned for a poet and a one-man band

G - - - / Bm - - - / Dm - - - / E - - - / Am - - - / F - - - / G - - - / D - - - //

C: Homeward bound, I wish I was - homeward boundHome - where my thought's escapingHome - where the music's playingHome - where my love lies waiting silently for me

G - - - / C - - - / x2 / G - Am7 - / / / D - G - //

Every day’s an endless stream of cigarettes and magazinesAnd each town looks the same to me, the movies and the

factoriesAnd every stranger's face I see reminds me that I long to be


Tonight I'll sing my songs again, I'll play the game and pretendBut all my words come back to me in shades of mediocrityLike emptiness in harmony, I need someone to comfort me


T: Silently for me...

AMAZING GRACETraditional

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound,That saved a wretch like me.I once was lost, but now I'm foundWas blind but now can see.

C - - - / F - C - / - - - - / G - - - /C - - - / F - C - / C - G - / C - - - //

T'was grace that taught my heart to fear,And grace my fears relieved.How precious did that grace appear,The hour I first believed.

The Lord has promised good to meHis word my hope securesHe will my shield and portion beAs long as life endures

Through many dangers, toils and snares,We have already come.'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,And grace will lead me home.

When we've been there ten thousand years,Bright shining as the sun.We've no less days to sing God's praise,Then we first begun.

Amazing grace has set me freeTo touch, to taste, to feelThe wonders of accepting LoveHave made me whole and real

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound,That saved a wretch like me.I once was lost, but now I'm foundWas blind but now can see.

THE BOXERSimon and Garfunkel (Paul Simon)

I am just a poor boy though' my story's seldom toldI have squandered my resistanceFor a pocketful of mumbles, such are promisesAll lies in jest, still a man hears what he wants to hearAnd disregards the rest Ooh la la la...

When I left my home and my family I was no more than a boyIn the company of strangersIn the quiet of the railway station running scaredLaying low seeking out the poorer quartersWhere the ragged people goLooking for the places only they would know

Lie la lie...

Am - - - / / G - - - / / Am - - - / / G - - - / F - - - / C - - - / //

Asking only workman's wages I come looking for a jobBut I get no offersJust a come on from the whores on Second AvenueI do declare there were times when I was so lonesomeI took some comfort thereLa la la la...Lie la lie...

B: And I am laying out my winter clothes and wishing I was goneGoing homeWhere the New York City winters aren't bleeding meLeading me home - going home

C - - - / / C - > - / Am - - - / G - - - / / F - - - / / C - - - / /Em - - - / / Am - - - / / G - - - / / C - - - / //

In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his tradeAnd he carries the remindersOf every glove that laid him down or cut him til he cried out In his anger and shame, I am leaving, I am leaving, But the fighter still remainsOoh la la...Lie la lie...

i: ( A - - - / E - - - / A - - - / E - - - //)

There are places I rememberAll my life, tho' some have changedSome forever not for betterSome have gone and some remainAll these places have their momentsWith lovers and friends I still can recallSome are dead and some are livingIn my life, I've loved them all

But of all these friends and loversThere is no one compares with youAnd these memories lose their meaningWhen I think of love as something newI know I'll never lose affectionFor people and things that went beforeI know I'll often stop and think about themIn my life I love you more

SOUNDS OF SILENCESimon & Garfunkel (Paul Simon)

Hello darkness my old friendI've come to talk to you againBecause a vision softly creepingLeft it's seeds while I was sleepingAnd the vision that was planted in my brainStill remains, within the sounds of silence

( Em - - - ) / D - - - / / Em - - - / / C - G - / - - - - / x2 /C - - - / / G - - > / Em - - - / G - - - / D - - - / Em - - - / //

In restless dreams I walked aloneNarrow streets of cobblestones'Neath a halo of a street lampI turned my collar to the cold and dampWhen my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon

lightThat split the night, and touched the sounds of silence

And in the naked light I saw, Ten thousand people maybe morePeople talking without speaking,People hearing without listeningPeople writing songs that voices never share,No one dared, disturb the sounds of silence

`Fools', said I `you do not know Silence like a cancer growsHear my words that I might teach youTake my arms that I might reach you'But my words like silent raindrops fellAnd echoed in the well of silence

And people bowed and prayedTo the neon God they'd madeAnd the sign flashed out it's warningIn the words that it was formingAnd the sign said, `the words of the prophetsAre written on the subway walls, and tenement hallsAnd whisper in the sounds of silence'

Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cupThey slither while they pass, they slip away across the universePools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my open mindPossessing and caressing meJai guru deva om

D - F#m - / Bm - - - / Em7 - - - / A - - - / x4 //D - - - / / A - - - / //

C: Nothing's gonna change my worldNothing's gonna change my worldNothing's gonna change my worldNothing's gonna change my world

A - Asus4 - / A7 - - - / G - - - / D - - - / x4 //

Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyesThey call me on and on across the universeThoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letterboxThey tumble blindly as they make their way across the universeJai guru deva om


Sounds of laughter shades of earth are Ringing through my open view inciting and inviting meLimitless undying love which shines around me like a million sunsIt calls me on and on across the universeJai guru deva om


Jai guru deva

SWEET BABY JAMESJames Taylor

( G - > / Em - - / A - - / //)

V1: There is a young cowboy, he lives on the rangeHis horse and his cattle are his only companionsHe works in the saddle and he sleeps in the canyonsWaiting for summer his pastures to change

D - - / A - - / G - - / F#m - - / / Bm - - / G - - / D - - / F#m - - / / x5 / G - - / D - - / Em7 - - / A - - / / //

V2: As the moon rises he sits by his fireThinkin' about women and glasses of beerAnd closing his eyes as the doggies retireSings out a song which is soft but it's clearAs if maybe someone could hear

G - - / / A - - / D - - / Bm - - / G - - / D - - / A - - / G - - / / A - - / D - - / Bm - - / G - - / D - - / / E - - / / A -

C: Goodnight, you moonlight ladiesRockabye Sweet Baby JamesDeep greens and blues are the colors I chooseWon't you let me go down in my dreamsAnd rockabye Sweet Baby James

D - - / G - - / A - - / D - - / Bm - - / G - - / D - - / / x4 /Em - - / E - - / A - - / / G - - / A - - / D - - / //

V1: The first of December was covered with snowAnd so was the turnpike from Stockbridge to BostonThe Berkshires seemed dreamlike on account of that frostingWith ten miles behind me and 10,000 more to go

V2: There's a song that they sing when they take to the highwayA song that they sing when they take to the seaA song that they sing of their home in the skyMaybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleepBut singing works just fine for me

C: Goodnight, you moonlight ladiesRockabye Sweet Baby JamesDeep greens and blues are the colors I chooseWon't you let me go down in my dreamsAnd rockabye Sweet Baby James

ANGEL FROM MONTGOMERYJohn Prine

I am an old woman named after my motherMy old man is another child that's grown oldIf dreams were lightning, thunder were desireThis old house would have burnt down a long time ago

G - - - / C - - - / x2 / x2 / D7 - - - / G - - - // (2x)

C: Make me an angel that flies from Montgom'ryMake me a poster of an old rodeoJust give me one thing that I can hold on to To believe in this living is just a hard way to go

G - - - / F - - - / C - - - / G - - - / x4 / x4 / C - - - / G - - - / D7 - - - / G - - - //

When I was a young girl, well I had me a cowboyHe weren't much to look at just a free rambling manBut that was a long time and no matter how I tryThe years just flow by like a broken down dam


There's flies in the kitchen I can hear 'em there buzzingAnd I ain't done nothing since I woke up todayHow the hell can a person go to work in the morningAnd come home in the ev'ning and have nothing to say

BOTH SIDES NOWJoni Mitchell

Bows and flows of angel hair and ice cream castles in the airAnd feather canyons everywhere, I've looked at clouds that wayBut now they only block the sun; they rain and snow on everyoneSo many things I could have done, but clouds got in my way

C - F - / - - C - / - - Em - / F - C - / - - F - / Dm - - - / F - - - / G - - - // (2x)

C: I've looked at clouds from both sides nowFrom up and down and still somehowIt's clouds' illusions I recallI really don't know clouds at all

C - - - / F - C - / / / Em - F - / C - F - /C - - - / Gs4 - - - / G - - - / C - - - / //

Moons and Junes and ferris wheels, the dizzy dancing way you feel

As every fairy tale comes real, I've looked at love that wayBut now it's just another show, you leave them laughing when

you goAnd if you care don't let them know, don't give yourself away

C: I've looked at love from both sides nowFrom give and take and still somehowIt's loves' illusions I recallI really don't know love at all

Tears and fears and feeling proud to say I love you right out loudDreams and schemes and circus crowds, I've looked at life that

wayBut now old friends are acting strange, they shake their heads, they say I've changedSomething's lost, but something's gained in living day every day

C: I've looked at life from both sides nowFrom win and lose and still somehowIt's life’s' illusions I recallI really don't know life at all

CLOSER TO FINEIndigo Girls (Emily Saliers)

crooked lineThe less I seek my source for some definitiveThe closer I am to fine, the closer I am to fineI stopped by the bar at 3 a.m.To seek solace in a bottle or possibly a friendI woke up with a headache like my head against a boardTwice as cloudy as I'd been the night beforeI went in seeking clarity

C: I went to the doctor, I went to the mountainsI looked to the children, I drank from the fountainWe go to the doctor, we go to the mountainsWe look to the children, we drink from the fountainWe go to the bible, we go through the workoutWe read up on revival and we stand up for the lookoutThere's more than one answer to these questions pointing me in a

crooked lineThe less I seek my source for some definitiveThe closer I am to fine, the closer I am to fine© 1989 CBS Records:: on their "Indigo Girls"

DREAMSFleetwood Mac (Stevie Nicks)

Now here you go againYou say you want your freedomWell who am I to keep you downIt's only right that you shouldPlay the way you feel itBut listen carefully to the soundOf your lonelinessLike a heartbeat... drives you mad...In the stillness of remembering what you had...And what you lost...And what you had...And what you lost

F - - - / G - - - // (repeat through entire song ** except bridge)

C: Thunder only happens when it's rainingPlayers only love you when they're playingSay...women...they will come and goWhen the rain washes you clean... you'll know

B: ( F - - - / G - - - / / F - - - / Am - - - / G - - - / / F - - - //)

Now here I go again, I see the crystal visionsI keep my visions to myselfIt's only meWho wants to wrap around your dreams and...Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?Dreams of loneliness...Like a heartbeat... drives you mad...In the stillness of remembering what you had...And what you lost...And what you had...And what you lost

C: Thunder only happens when it's rainingPlayers only love you when they're playingSay...women...they will come and goWhen the rain washes you clean... you'll know

MORNING HAS BROKENw: Eleanor Farjean m: trad (Scottish Gaelic)

Morning has broken like the first morningBlackbird has spoken like the first birdPraise for the singing, praise for the morningPraise for the springing fresh from the Word

Sweet the rains' new fall sunlit from heavenLike the first dew fall on the first grassPraise for the sweetness of the wet gardenSprung in completeness where His feet pass

Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morningBorn of the one light Eden saw playPraise with elation, praise every morningGod's re-creation of the new day

Morning has broken like the first morningBlackbird has spoken like the first birdPraise for the singing, praise for the morningPraise for the springing fresh from the Word

RIPPLEGrateful Dead (w: Robert Hunter m: Jerry Garcia)

If my words did sing with the voice of sunshineAnd my tunes were played on the harp unstrungWould you hear my voice come thru the musicWould you hold it near as if it were your own?

G - - - / / C - - - / / / / / G - - - / / /C - - - / / G - - - / D - - - / C - - - / G - - - / // (2x)

It's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are brokenPerhaps they're better left unsungAnd I don't know, don't really careLet there be songs to fill the air

C: Ripple in still waterWhen there is no pebble tossed, nor wind to blow

Am - - - / / D - - - / / G - - - / C - - - / Cmaj7/b

9 - - - / D - - - //

Reach out your hand if your cup be emptyIf your cup is full, may it be againLet it be known there is a fountainThat was not made by the hands of man

There is a road, no simple highwayBetween the dawn and dark of nightAnd where you go, no one may followThat path is for your steps alone

C: Ripple in still waterWhen there is no pebble tossed, nor wind to blow

You who choose to lead must followBut if you fall, you fall aloneIf you should stand, then who's to guide you?If I knew the way, I would take you home

La Da Di Da ... (over verse)
