Foreword

Why in the world am I compiling these songs? That’s a really good question, and I ask myself

that all the time when I get hung up on a song and can’t figure it out. The truth is I started

this to fill a need. I was meeting with a group of other ukers and we would decide what

songs we were gonna play that night and everyone would bring their version of a song.

Inevitably we would all have different words and different keys. From the very beginning,

even before our group, I wanted not only people to strum and have fun with, I wanted to be

able to help others play the ukulele and get them out and giving back to our community. To

complete that goal I realized that some would not be able to afford the standard books that

we had tried to use and some couldn’t even afford to have the internet. So I started

arranging these sheets so I could hand them out to anyone that wanted one and we could all

have the same music. Then we could go out into our community and go to the schools,

churches, libraries, hospitals, retirement and assisted living homes, and would be “spreading

the Happy” to give back and help our area of the world. I then realized that if I put them

online other people in the world could give back of themselves as well. So here we are… this

Book will always be free and it will always be an ever-growing testament to my passion for

life and the love of people and the ukulele. I encourage you, if you are reading this, put

yourself out there. Put yourself out there and care. I promise that you will be richer than you

ever thought you’d dare. I know, because I am already there. –Pete :O)

What the heck are those crazy things with your chords?

[T] - This with a chord means a down strum with your thumb.

[v] - This lower case v means down strum only

[II] - This means do not sing or play for one strum it’s a pause in play

[STOP] – This with a chord means to strum the chord but stop playing

Immediately and stop the sound by putting your hand on the

Strings to mute them

[HOLD] – This with a chord means to strum the chord stop playing and

let the strings sing

NOTE: I only have one rule. It’s my Rule Number 1 - HAVE FUN!! :O)

59th Street Bridge Song [Feelin Groovy] – Simon and Garfunkel

Arr. Pete McCarty

Slow down, you move too fast, You got to make the morning last, Just kickin' down the cobble stones, Lookin' for and feelin' groovy. Ba da da da da, da da, feelin' groovy

Hello lamppost, whatcha knowin'? I've come to watch your flowers growing. Ain't cha got no rhymes for me? Dootin' dododo, feeling groovy. Ba da da da da, da da, feelin' groovy

I Got no deeds to do, no promises to keep. I'm dappled and drowsy and ready to sleep. Let the morning time drop all its petals on me. Life, I love you. All is groovy. Ba da da da da, da da, feelin' groovy Ba da da da da, da da, feelin' groovy.

I can see why you think you belong to me I never try to make you think or let you see one thing for yourself. But now you're off with someone else and I'm alone you see I thought that I might keep you for my own

Now its come to what you want you've had your way all the things you thought before just faded into gray and can you see that I don't know if its you or if its me If its one of us I'm sure we both will see, won't you look at me and tell me

Blowin' in the Wind – Bob Dylan Arr. Pete McCarty

How many roads must a man walk down

before they call him a man

And how many seas must a white dove sail

before she sleeps in the sand

yes’n how many times must the cannon balls fly

before they're forever banned

The answer my friend is blowing in the wind

The answer is blowing in the wind

Yes’n how many years can a mountain exist

before it is washed to the sea

and how many years can a man exist

before he's allowed to be free

and How many times can a man turn his head

and pretends he just doesn't see

City of New Orleans – Steve Goodman Arr. Pete McCarty

Ridin' on the City of New Orleans Illinois Central, Monday mornin' rail fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders three conductors, and twenty-five sacks of mail

All along the southbound odyssey the train pulls out of Kankakee and rolls along past houses, farms & fields passin' trains that have no name, freight yards full of gray haired men And the graveyards of rusted automobiles

Good mornin' America, how are you? don't you know me? I'm your native son! I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done

Dealin' cards with the young man in the club car penny a point, ain't no one keepin' score pass the paper bag that holds the bottle and feel the wheels rumblin' neath the floor

and the sons of Pullman porters & the sons of engineers ride their fathers' magic carpet made of steel mothers with their babes asleep, rockin' to the gentle beat and the rhythm of the rails is all they feel

Good mornin' America, how are you? don't you know me? I'm your native son! I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done

night time on the City of New Orleans changin' cars in Memphis, Tennessee halfway home, we'll be there by mornin' through the Mississippi darkness rollin' down to the sea

but all the towns & people seem to fade into a bad dream and the steel rails still ain't heard the news the conductor sings his song again

"The passengers will please refrain”, this train’s got the disappearin' railroad

blues

Good mornin' America, how are you? don't you know me? I'm your native son! I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done

Countin' flowers on the wall, that don't bother me at all playin' solitaire 'til dawn, with a deck of fifty-one smokin' cigarettes and watchin' "Captain Kang-a-roo" now don't tell me I've nothin' to do!

It’s good to see you, I must go, I know I look a fright, and anyway my eyes are not accustomed to this light, and my shoes are not accustomed to this hard concrete, so I must go back to my room and make my day complete

Countin' flowers on the wall, that don't bother me at all playin' solitaire 'til dawn, with a deck of fifty-one smokin cigarettes and watchin' "Captain Kang-a-roo" now don't tell me I've nothin' to do! now don't tell me I've nothin' to do!

Danny’s Song – Kenny Logins Arr. Pete McCarty

People Smile and tell me I'm the lucky one, And we've just begun, Think I'm gonna have a son. He will be like she and me, as free as a dove, Conceived in love, Sun is gonna shine above.

Even though we ain't got money, I 'm so in love with you honey, everything will bring a chain of love. In the morning when I rise, You bring a tear of joy to my eyes, and tell me everything's gonna be all right.

Seems as though a month ago I was Beta Chi, never got high, Oh I was a sorry guy. Now a smile, a face, a girl that shares my name, now I'm through with the game, this boy will never be the same.

Even though we ain't got money, I 'm so in love with you honey, everything will bring a chain of love. In the morning when I rise, You bring a tear of joy to my eyes, and tell me everything's gonna be all right.

Pisces Virgo rising is a very good sign, Strong and kind, And the little boy is mine. Now I see a family where there once was none, now we've just begun, Yeah, we're gonna fly to the sun.

Even though we ain't got money, I 'm so in love with you honey, everything will bring a chain of love. In the morning when I rise, you bring a tear of joy to my eyes, and tell me everything's gonna be all right.

Love the girl who holds the world in a paper cup, Drink it up, love her and she'll bring you luck. And if you find she helps your mind, better take her home, Don't you live alone, try to learn what lover's own.

Even though we ain't got money, I 'm so in love with you honey, everything will bring a chain of love. In the morning when I rise, you bring a tear of joy to my eyes, and tell me everything's gonna be all right. In the morning when I rise, you bring a tear of joy to my eyes, and tell me everything’s gonna be all right.

Daydream Believer – The Monkees Arr. Pete McCarty

Oh, I could hide 'neath the wings Of the bluebird as she sings The six o'clock alarm would never ring But it rings and I rise Wipe the sleep out of my eyes My shaving razor's cold and it stings

Cheer up sleepy Jean Oh what can it mean to a Daydream believer and a Homecoming queen

You once thought of me As a white knight on his steed Now you know how happy I can be Oh, and our good times start and end Without dollar one to spend But how much, baby, do we really need

Down on the Corner- Creedence Clearwater Revival Arr. Pete McCarty

Early in the evenin' just about supper time, Over by the courthouse they're starting to unwind. Four kids on the corner, trying to bring you up. Willy picks a tune out and he blows it on the harp.

Down on the corner, out in the street Willy and the Poorboys are playin' Bring a nickel; tap your feet.

Rooster hits the washboard and people just got to smile, Blinky, thumps the gut bass and solos for a while. Poorboy twangs the rhythm out on his kalamazoo. Willy goes into a dance and doubles on kazoo.



You don't need a penny just to hang around, But if you've got a nickel, won't you lay your money down? Over on the corner there's a happy noise. People come from all around to watch the magic boy.



Down on the corner, out in the street Willy and the Poorboys are playin' Bring a nickel; tap your feet. .

Drift Away- Dobie Gray Arr. – Pete McCarty

Day after day I’m so confused So I look for the light in the pouring rain You know that’s a game that I hate to lose I’m feelin the strain, aint it a shame

Oh gimmie the beat boys and free my soul I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away Oh gimmie the beat boys and free my soul I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away

And when my mind is free You know a melody can move me And when I'm feelin' blue The guitar's comin' through to soothe me Thanks for the joy that you've given me I want you to know I believe in your song Rhythm and rhyme and harmony You help me along makin' me strong


NO PLAY!!! REPEAT CHORUS AND CLAP!! LOUDLY!!!!

Beginning to think that I'm wastin' time I don't understand the things I do The world outside looks so unkind I’m countin’ on you to carry me through

Enjoy Yourself - Carl Sigman Arr. Pete McCarty

Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think, enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink, the years go by, as quickly as a wink enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself, it's later than you think

You work and work for years and years, you're always on the go you never take a minute off, too busy makin' dough someday, you say, you'll have your fun, when you're a millionaire but tell me how much fun you'll have in your old rockin' chair


You're gonna take that ocean trip, no matter, come what may you've got your reservations made, but you just can't get away next year for sure, you'll see the world, you'll really get around but how far can you travel when you're six feet underground?


You never go to nightclubs and you just don't care to dance; you don't have time for silly things like moonlight and romance. you only think of dollar bills tied neatly in a stack; but when you kiss a dollar bill, it doesn't kiss you back.


You love somebody very much You'd like to set the date but money doesn't grow on trees So you decide to wait you're so afraid that you will bite off More than you can chew Don't be afraid, you won't have teeth When you reach ninety-two

Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think, enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink, the years go by, as quickly as a wink enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself, it's later than you think, Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think, enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink, the years go by, as quickly as a wink enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself, it's later than you think

Everything Is Free – Gillian Welch

Arr. Jeremy Roberts and Pete McCarty

Everything is free now that’s what they say everything I ever done gonna give it away

Someone hit the big score they figured it out that we're gonna do it anyway even if it doesn't pay

I can get a tip jar gas up the car try to make a little change down at the bar

Or I could get a straight job I've done it before never minded working hard It’s who I'm working for

everything is free now that’s what they say everything I ever done gotta give it away

'Cause someone hit the big score they figured it out that we’re gonna do it anyway even if it doesn't pa

Every day I wake up humming a song but I don't need to run around I just stay at home

sing a little love song my lover myself if it’s something that you wanna hear you can sing it yourself

'Cause everything is free now that’s what I said No one’s gotta listen to the words in my head

someone hit the big score and I figured it out and I’m gonna do it anyway even if it doesn't pay

Circus life under the big top world we all need the clowns to make us smile through space and time always another show wondering where I am lost without you And being apart ain't easy on this love affair two strangers learn to fall in love again I get the joy of rediscovering you Oh girl you stand by me I'm forever yours, faithfully

Hang on to your Ego – Brian Wilson Arr. Pete McCarty

I know so many people who think they can do it alone They isolate their heads and stay in their safety zones

Now what can you tell them And what can you say that won’t make them defensive

Hang on to your ego Hang on, but I know that you’re gonna lose the fight

They come on like they’re peaceful But inside they’re so up tight They trip through the day And waste all their thoughts at night

Now how can I say it And how can I come on When I know I’m guilty

So hang on to your ego Hang on, but I know that you’re gonna lose the fight

Now how can I say it And how can I come on When I know I’m guilty

So hang on to your ego Hang on, but I know that you’re gonna lose the fight

Homeward Bound G – Simon & Garfunkel Arr. Pete McCarty & Brian

Hall

I'm sitting in the railway station got a ticket to my destination Mmm mmm on a tour of one-night stands my suitcase and guitar in hand and every stop is neatly planned for a poet and a one-man band Homeward bound, I wish I was, Homeward bound, Home where my thought's escaping, Home where my music's playing Home where my love lies waiting Silently for me

Every day's an endless stream of cigarettes and magazines Mmmmmm and each town looks the same to me, the movies and the factories and every stranger's face I see reminds me that I long to be Homeward bound, I wish I was, Homeward bound, Home where my thought's escaping, Home where my music's playing Home where my love lies waiting Silently for me

Tonight I'll sing my songs again, I'll play the game and pretend Mmmmmm but all my words come back to me in shades of mediocrity Like emptiness in harmony I need someone to comfort me Homeward bound, I wish I was, Homeward bound, Home where my thought's escaping, Home where my music's playing Home where my love lies waiting Silently for me

Honky Tonk Moon- Randy Travis Arr. Pete McCarty

Dirt road in the twilight woods so cool and dark. Up ahead pale neon, somewhere a dog barks, Honky tonk moon, keep shining on my baby and me

Breaking up the pool balls, chalking up the cues Jukebox pumping softly, them lazy summer blues Honky tonk moon, keep shining on my baby and me

Through the blue smoky haze, all of the dayʼs -- troubles seem to melt a-way............. My heart's on a roll, I'm easy in my soul There's no hur-ry, no wor-ry, things are goin' my way

My arms around my darlinʼ, shuffling cross the floor Cigarettes and sawdust, squeaky old screen door. Honk Tonk Moon, keep shining on my baby and me Through the blue smoky haze, all of the dayʼs -- troubles seem to melt a-way............. My heart's on a roll, I'm easy in my soul There's no hur-ry, no wor-ry, things are goin' my way Outside the dark is falling, stars are twinkling bright An old Hoot Owl is calling, every thingʼs all right Honky tonk Moon, keep shining on my baby and me. Honky tonk Moon, keep shining on my baby and me.

I Will Survive - Gloria Gaynor Arr. Tim Stacks and Pete McCarty

At first I was afraid, I was petrified, kept thinkin’ I could never live without you by my side, but then I spent so many nights thinkin’ how you did me wrong, and I grew strong, and I learned how to get along.

And so you’re back from outer space; I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face, I should have changed that stupid lock, I should have made you leave your key, if I’d have known for just one second you’d be back to bother me.

Go on now go, walk out the door! just turn a--round now, ‘cause you’re not welcome anymore, weren’t you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye? Did I crumble? Did you think I’d lay down and die?

Oh no, not I! I will survive! Oh as long as I know how to love I know I’ll stay alive; I’ve got all my life to live, I’ve got all my love to give, and I will survive! I will survive! Hey hey!

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart though I tried hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart And I spent oh so many nights just feeling sorry for myself I used to cry but now I hold my head up high

And you see me, somebody new, I’m not that chained up little person still in love with you, and so you feel like droppin’ in, and you expect me to be free, now I’m savin’ all my lovin’ for someone who’s loving me.

Go on now go, walk out the door! Just turn around now, ‘cause you’re welcome anymore, weren’t you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye? Did I crumble? Did you think I’d lay down and die?

Oh no, not I! I will survive! Oh as long as I know how to love I know I’ll stay alive; I’ve got all my life to live, I’ve got all my love to give, and I will survive! I will survive! Hey hey!

I’m A Believer – The Monkees Arr. By Pete McCarty

I thought love was only true in fairy tales Meant for someone else but not for me. Love was out to get me that’s the way it seemed. Disappointment haunted all my dreams.

Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer! Not a trace of doubt in my mind. I'm in love, OO-OO I'm a believer! I couldn't leave her if I tried.

I thought love was more or less a given thing, Seems the more I gave the less I got What's the use in trying? All you get is pain. When I needed sunshine I got rain.


I thought love was more or less a given thing, Seems the more I gave the less I got Love was out to get me, That's the way it seemed. Disappointment haunted all my dreams

I’m Over You – Keith Whitley Arr. Pete McCarty

Where there's a cloud, don't mean there's rain tears in my eyes, don't mean there's pain don't flatter yourself, I'm over you

Things aren't always what they seem you can't believe everything you read on my face, I'm over you

You heard I'm drinking more than I should that I ain't been looking all that good someone told you I was taking it rough why they making those stories up When I'm over you

There were times if you'd been around You would have seen me broken down But now you won't, I'm over you

So if I seem a little bit cold It only means you've lost the hold You had on me, I'm over you

You heard I'm drinking more than I should that I ain't been looking all that good someone told you I was taking it rough why they making those stories up When I'm over you

You heard I'm drinking more than I should that I ain't been looking all that good someone told you I was taking it rough why they making those stories up When I'm over you I'm over you I'm over you

I’m Yours – Jason Mraz Arr. Pete McCarty

Well, you done-done me and you bet I felt it I tried to be chill but you’re so hot that I melted I fell right through the cracks, and I’m trying to get back

Before the cool done run out I’ll be giving it my best-est And nothing’s gonna stop me but divine intervention I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some

But I won't hesi-ah-tate no more, No more, it cannot wait I’m yours

[MMM-MM-MMM-MMMM-AYYY-AYYY-AYYYY-AYY-AYY]

Well open up your mind and see like me Open up your plans and damn you're free Look into your heart and you'll find love-love-love-love

Listen to the music of the moment people dance and sing, We’re just one big family It’s our God forsaken right to be loved-loved-loved-loved-loved

So, I won't hesi-ah-tate no more, No more, it cannot wait I’m sure

There’s no need to com-pli-cate our time is short This is our fate, I’m yours I've been spending' way too long checking' my tongue in the mirror And bending' over backwards just to try to see it clearer But My breath fogged up the glass And so I drew a new face and I laughed

I guess what I be saying’s there isn’t no better reason To rid yourself of vanity and just go with the seasons It’s what we aim to do our name is our virtue

But, I won't hes-ah-tate no more, No more, it cannot wait I’m yours

Well open up your mind and see like me Open up your plans and damn you're free Look into your heart and you'll find, that the sky is yours

So please don’t, please don’t, please don’t There’s no need to complicate Cause our time is short, This is, oh this is, oh this is our fate I’m your-or-yours

Way down in Louisiana close to New Orleans

way back up in the woods among the evergreens there stood a log cabin made of earth and wood where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode who never ever learned to read or write so well, but he could play the UKULELE like a ringin’ a bell

Go-Go-- go, Johnny go go Go--go Johnny go go Go--go Johnny go go Go oohhhh GO! Johnny B. Goode

He used to put his UKULELE in a gunny sack and sit beneath a tree by the railroad tracks an engineers could see him sitting in the shade strummin’ to the rhythm that the drivers made people passing by… they would stop and say oh my but that little country boy can play

Go-Go-- go, Johnny go go Go--go Johnny go go Go--go Johnny go go Go oohhhh GO! Johnny B. Goode

His momma told him “someday you will be a man” and you will be the leader of a big ole’ band many, many people come from miles around to hear your UKULELE till the sun go down maybe someday your name will be in lights sayin’ ‘Johnny B. Goode tonight’

Go-Go-- go, Johnny go go Go--go Johnny go go Go--go Johnny go go Go oohhhh GO! Johnny B. Goode Go-Go-- go, Johnny go go Go--go Johnny go go Go--go Johnny go go Go oohhhh GO! Johnny B. Goode

Killing me softly – Roberta Flack Arr. Pete McCarty

Strumming my pain with his fingers singing my life with his words killing me softly with his song killing me softly with his song telling my whole life with his words killing me softly with his song

I heard he sang a good song I heard he had a style and so I came to see him and listen for a while and there he was this young boy a stranger to my eyes


I felt all flushed with fever embarrassed by the crowd I felt he found my letters and read each one out loud I prayed that he would finish but he just kept right on


He sang as if he knew me in all my dark despair and then he looked right through me As if I wasn't there and he just kept on singing Singing clear and strong

Strumming my pain with his fingers singing my life with his words killing me softly with his song killing me softly with his song telling my whole life with his words killing me softly with his song Strumming my pain with his fingers singing my life with his words killing me softly with his song killing me softly with his song telling my whole life with his words killing me softly with his song

Make You Feel My Love – Bob Dylan Arr. Pete McCarty

INTRO NO SING

When the rain is blowing in your face and the whole world is on your case I could offer you a warm embrace to make you feel my love

SING

When the rain is blowing in your face and the whole world is on your case I could offer you a warm embrace to make you feel my love

evening shadows and the stars appear, and there is no one there to dry your tears I could hold you for a million years to make you feel my love

I know you haven't made your mind up yet, but I would never do you wrong. I've known it from the moment that we met no doubt in my mind where you belong

I'd go hungry; I'd go black and blue, I'd go crawling down the avenue. there aint nothin that I wouldn't do to make you feel my love

The storms are raging on the rolling sea and on the highway of regret. the winds of change are blowing wild and free, you ain't seen nothing like me yet

make you happy; make your dreams come true. there aint nothin that I wouldn't do go to the ends of the Earth for you, to make you feel my love to make you feel my love

Mama Tried – Merle Haggard Arr. Tim Stacks & Pete McCarty

First thing I remember knowin' was a lonesome whistle blowin' and a young-un's dream of growing up to ride on a freight train leaving town, not knowing where I'm bound and no one could change my mind, but Mama tried

The one and only rebel child from a family meek and mild my Mama seemed to know what lay in store in spite of all my Sunday learnin', toward the bad I kept on turnin' 'til Mama couldn't hold me any more

And I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole no one could steer me right, but Mama tried, Mama tried, Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleading I denied. that leaves only me to blame, 'cause Mama tried

Dear old Daddy rest his soul, he left my mom a heavy load she tried so very hard to fill his shoes working hours without rest, she wanted me to have the best she tried to raise me right, but I refused

And I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole no one could steer me right, but Mama tried, Mama tried, Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleading I denied. that leaves only me to blame, 'cause Mama tried and That leaves only me to blame, 'cause Mama tried

wasted away again in Margaritaville, searchin' for my lost shaker of salt. some people claim that there's a woman to blame, but I know it's nobody's fault.

don't know the reason, stayed here all season with nothing to show but this brand new tattoo. but it's a real beauty, a Mexican cutie, how it got here I haven't a clue.

wasted away again in Margaritaville, searchin' for my lost shaker of salt. some people claim that there's a woman to blame, now I think, hell it could be my fault.

I blew out my flip flop, stepped on a pop top; cut my heel, had to cruise on back home. but there's booze in the blender, and soon it will render that frozen concoction that helps me hang on.

The Monster Mash – Bobby Pickett Arr. Pete McCarty

I was working in the lab late one night, when my eyes beheld an eerie sight, for my monster from his slab began to rise, and suddenly to my surprise

He did the mash he did the monster mash the monster mash it was a graveyard smash he did the mash it caught on in a flash he did the mash he did the monster mash

From my laboratory in the castle east, to the master bedroom where the vampires feast, the ghouls all came from their humble abodes to get a jolt from my electrodes

They did the mash they did the monster mash the monster mash it was a graveyard smash they did the mash it caught on in a flash they did the mash they did the monster mash The zombies were having fun, the party had just begun the guests included Wolf Man, Dracula and his son

The scene was rockin', all were digging the sounds, Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds the coffin-bangers were about to arrive with their vocal group, "The Crypt-Kicker Five"

They played the mash they played the monster mash the monster mash it was a graveyard smash they played the mash it caught on in a flash they played the mash they played the monster mash

Out from his coffin, Drac's voice did ring seems he was troubled by just one thing he opened the lid and shook his fist and said, "whatever happened to my Transylvania twist" It's now the mash it’s now the monster mash the monster mash and it's a graveyard smash it's now the mash it’s caught on in a flash it's now the mash it’s now the monster mash

Now everything's cool, Drac's a part of the band and my monster mash is the hit of the land for you, the living, this mash was meant too when you get to my door, tell them Boris sent you

Then you can mash then you can monster mash the monster mash and do my graveyard smash then you can mash you’ll catch on in a flash then you can mash then you can monster mash

Photograph – Ed Sheeran Arr. Pete McCarty

Loving can hurt, loving can hurt sometimes But it's the only thing that I’ve known…when it gets har–ar-ard, you know it can get hard sometimes It's the only thing that makes us feel ali-ive

We keep this love in a photograph We made these memories for ourselves Where our eyes are never closing our hearts were never broken And time's forever frozen still

So you can keep me inside the pocket of your ripped jeans Holding me close until our eyes meet you won't ever be alone wait for me to come home

Loving can heal, loving can mend your soul And it's the only thing that I know, know… I swear it will get easier, remember that with every piece of ya, and it's the only thing we take with us when we die…

We keep this love in a photograph we made these memories for ourselves Where our eyes are never closing our hearts were never broken And time's forever frozen still

So you can keep me inside the pocket of your ripped jeans holding me close until our eyes meet You won't ever be alone, wait for me to come home

and if you hurt me that’s okay baby, we’ll be words deep inside these pages you just hold me and I won’t ever let you go wait for me to come home, wait for me to come home wait for me to come home, wait for me to come home

Oh you can fit me Inside the necklace you bought when you were sixteen next to your heartbeat where I should be, keep it deep within your soul and if you hurt me, that's okay baby, only words bleed inside these pages you just hold me and I won’t ever let you go

when I'm away, I will remember how you kissed me under the lamppost back on Sixth street hearing you whisper through the phone wait for me to come home

Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail Jackie kept a lookout perched on puffs gigantic tail, Noble kings and princes would bow whene'r they came, Pirate ships would lower their flag when puff roared out his name. oh!


Dragons live forever but not so little boys Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys. One sad night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more And Puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar.

His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain, Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane. Without his life-long friend, puff could not be brave, So puff that mighty dragon sadly slipped into his cave. oh!

Shower the People You Love With Love - James Taylor Arr. Pete McCarty

You can play the game and you can act out the part though you know it wasn't written for you but tell me how can you stand there with your broken heart ashamed of playing the fool one thing can lead to an-other; it doesn't take any sacrifice oh father and mother, sister and brother, if it feels nice don't think twice

shower the people you love with love show them the way that you feel things are gonna turn out fine if you only will shower the people you love with love show them the way that you feel things are gonna be much better if you only will

You can run but you cannot hide; this is widely known and what you plan to do with your foolish pride when you're all by yourself alone once you tell somebody the way that you feel you can feel it beginning to ease I think it's true what they say about the squeaky wheel always getting the grease



shower the people you love with love show them the way that you feel shower the people you love with love show them the way that you feel

Somewhere Out There – Horner, Mann, and Weil Arr. Pete McCarty

Somewhere out there, beneath the pale moonlight, someone's thinking of me and loving me tonight.

Somewhere out there, someone's saying a prayer, that we'll find one another in that big somewhere out there.

And even though I know how very far apart we are, It helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star. And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullabye, It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky.

Somewhere out there, if love can see us through, then we'll be together somewhere out there, Out where dreams come true.

Someday we'll find it, therainbow con-nection The lovers, the dreamers and me

The Unicorn Song – Irish Rovers Arr. Bill & Pete

A long time ago, when the earth was green, there was more kinds of animals than you've ever seen. They'd run around free when the earth was being born, but the loveliest of all was the u-ni-corn.

There was green alligators and long-necked geese, some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees. Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born, the loveliest of all was the u-ni-corn

Now God seen some sinnin' and it gave Him pain. And He said, "stand back, I'm going to make it rain!" He says, "hey, brother Noah, I'll tell you what to do, build me a floating zoo, and take some of them"...

Green alligators and long-necked geese, some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees. Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born, but don’t forget my u-ni-corns.

Old Noah was there to answer the call, he finished up makin' the ark just as the rain started fallin'. He marched in the animals two by two, and he called out as they went through, "Hey Lord,"

"I’ve got your green alligators and long-necked geese, some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees. Some cats and rats and elephants, but Lord I’m so forlorn, I just can’t see no u-ni-corns.

Then Noah looked out through the driving rain, them unicorns were hiding, playing silly games. Kickin' and splashin' while the rain was pourin', all, them silly u-ni-corns!

There was greenalligators and long-necked geese, somehumpty backed camels and some chimpanzees. Noah cried, "close the door 'cause the rain is pour-in', and we just can't wait for no u-ni-corn!"

The ark started movin', it drifted with the tide, them unicorns looked up from the rocks and they cried. And the waters come down and sort of floated them away, And that's why you never seen a unicorn to this very day.

You'll see green alligators and long-necked geese, some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees. Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born, your never gonna see the u-ni-corn, your never gonna see the u-ni-corn

This Land is Your Land – Woody Guthrie Arr. Pete McCarty

This land is your land this land is my land From California to the New York island From the redwood forest to the Gulf Stream waters This land was made for you and me…

As I was walking that ribbon of highway I saw above me that endless skyway I saw be low me that golden valley.. This land was made for you and me…


I’ve roamed and rambled and I followed my footsteps to the sparkling sands of Her diamond deserts and all around me a voice was sounding This land was made for you and me


When the sun comes shining then I was strolling and the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling a voice was chanting as the fog was lifting This land was made for you and me

This land is your land this land is my land From California to the New York island From the redwood forest to the Gulf Stream waters This land was made for you and me… This land was made for you and me…

Everything I want the world to be is now comin’ true especially for me and the reason is clear, it’s because you are here you’re the nearest thing to Heaven that I’ve seen

I'm on the top of the world lookin’ down on creation and the only explanation I can find is the love that I’ve found ever since you’ve been around your love’s put me at the top of the world

Something in the wind has learned my name and it’s tellin’ me that things are not the same in the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze there’s a pleasin’ sense of happiness for me

There is only one wish on my mind when this day is through I hope that I will find that tomorrow will be just the same for you and me all I need will be mine if you are here

I'm on the top of the world lookin’ down on creation and the only explanation I can find is the love that I’ve found ever since you’ve been around your love’s put me at the top of the world

Walking after Midnight – Patsy Cline Arr. Pete McCarty

I go out walking after midnight out in the moonlight

just like we used to do, I'm always walking after midnight searching for you

I walk for miles along the highway Well that's just my way of saying I love you I'm always walking after midnight searching for you

I stopped to see a weeping willow Crying on his pillow maybe he's crying for me And as the skies turn gloomy Night winds whisper to me I'm lonesome as I can be

I go out walking after midnight out in the starlight Just hoping you may be somewhere out walking After midnight searching for me I stopped to see a weeping willow Crying on his pillow maybe he's crying for me And as the skies turn gloomy Night winds whisper to me I'm lonesome as I can be

I go out walking after midnight out in the starlight Just hoping you may be somewhere out walking After midnight searching for me

When You Say Nothing at All – Allison Krauss Arr. Pete McCarty

It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart Without saying a word you can light up the dark Try as I may I could never explain What I hear when you don't say a thing The smile on your face lets me know that you need me There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me A touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall You say it best, when you say nothing at all

All day long I can hear people talking out loud But when you hold me near you drown out the crowd Old Mister Webster could never define What's being said between your heart and mine The smile on your face lets me know that you need me There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me A touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall You say it best, when you say nothing at all

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me A touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall You say it best, when you say nothing at all nothing at all nothing at all

You’ll Never Leave Harlan Alive- Brad Paisley Arr. Pete McCarty

In the deep, dark hills of eastern Kentucky That’s the place Where I trace my blood line And it's there I read on a hillside gravestone You will never leave Harlan alive

Oh, my granddad's dad walked down Katahrins Mountain And he asked Tillie Helton to be his bride Said, won't you walk with me out of the mouth of this here holler Or we'll never leave Harlan alive

Where the sun comes up about ten in the morning And the sun goes down about three in the day And you fill your cup with whatever bitter brew you're drinkin' And you spend your life just thinkin' of how to get away

No one ever knew there was coal in them mountains Til a man from the Northeast arrived Waving hundred dollar bills said, I'll pay you for your minerals But he never left Harlan alive

Granny sold out cheap and they moved out west of Pineville To a farm where big Richland River winds I bet they danced them a jig, laughed and sang a new song Who said we'd never leave Harlan alive

But the times they got hard and tobacco wasn't selling And ole granddad knew what he'd do to survive He went and dug for Harlan coal and sent the money back to granny But he never left Harlan alive

Where the sun comes up about ten in the morning And the sun goes down about three in the day And you fill your cup with whatever bitter brew you're drinkin' And you spend your life just thinkin' of how to get away

Where the sun comes up about ten in the morning And the sun goes down about three in the day And you fill your cup with whatever bitter brew you're drinkin' And you spend your life digging coal from the bottom of your grave

In the deep,dark hills of eastern Kentucky That’s the place Where I trace my blood line And it's there I read on a hillside gravestone You will never leave Harlan alive

There’s Always Tomorrow – Burl Ives Arr. Pete McCarty

There's always tomorrow, for dreams to come true, believe in your dreams come what may.

There's always tomorrow, with so much to do, And so little time in a day.
