JAMAICA FAREWELL C F Down the way where the nights are gay, G7 C And the sun shines daily on the mountaintop.C F I took a trip on a sailing ship, G7 C But when I reached Jamaica I made a stop.
Chorus: C Dm But I'm sad to say I'm on my way, G7 C Won't be back for many a day. C DmMy heart is down, my head is spinning around; G7 CI had to leave a little girl in Kingston town.
Chorus C FSounds of laughter everywhere, G7 CAnd the dancing girls swirl to and fro.C FI must declare my heart is there, G7 CThough I've been from Maine to Mexico.
Chorus C FDown at the market you can hear, G7 CLadies cry out while on their heads they bear, C FAkkay rice, salt fish are nice, G7 CAnd the rum is good any time of year. Chorus x2

AIN’T SHE SWEET w-Jack Yellen m-Milton Ager 4/4 1…2…1234
Ain’t she sweet? See her coming down the street.
Now I ask you very confidentially, Ain’t she sweet?
Ain’t she nice? Look her over once or twice.
Now I ask you very confidentially, ain’t she nice?
Just cast an eye in her direction
Oh, me! Oh, my! Ain’t that perfection?
I re- peat, don’t you think that’s kind of neat?
And I ask you very confidentially Ain’t she sweet?
FIVE FOOT TWO w. Sam Lewis, Joe Young m. Ray Henderson
4/4 1…2…1234
Five foot two, eyes of blue, but, oh, what those five feet could do!
Has anybody seen my gal?
Turned up nose, turned down hose, flapper, yes sir, one of those!
Has anybody seen my gal?
Now if you run into a five foot two covered with fur,
STOP Diamond rings, and all those things, betcha life it isn't her!
But could she love, could she woo, could she, could she, could she coo!
1 REPEAT (fast, after count) Has anybody seen my gal?
2 Has anybody seen my, anybody seen my, anybody seen my gal?

When the red, red, robin comes bob, bob bobbin’ a-long.

Intro: [G] [C] [G] [C] [G] [C] [G] (pause)
(Tacet) Would you [E7] like to swing on a [A7] star
Carry [D7] moonbeams home in a [G] jar
And be [E7] better off than you [A7] are [D7] or would you rather be a [G] mule
A [G] mule is an [C] animal with [G] long funny [C] ears
He [G] kicks up at [C] anything he [G] hears [Em7]
His [A7] back is brawny but his [D] brain is weak
He's [Em7] just plain [A7] stupid with a [D] stub[A7]born [D7] streak
And by the [G] way if you [C] hate to go to [G] school [E7]
[Am] You may grow [D7] up to be a [G] mule
(Tacet) Or would you [E7] like to swing on a [A7] star
Carry [D7] moonbeams home in a [G] jar
And be [E7] better off than you [A7] are [D7] or would you rather be a [G] pig
A [G] pig is an [C] animal with [G] dirt on his [C] face
His [G] shoes are a [C] terrible dis[G]grace [Em7]
He [A7] has no manners when he [D] eats his food
He's [Em7] fat and [A7] lazy and ex[D]treme[A7]ly [D7] rude
But if you [G] don't care a [C] feather or a [G] fig [E7]
[Am] You may grow [D7] up to be a [G] pig
(Tacet) Or would you [E7] like to swing on a [A7] star
Carry [D7] moonbeams home in a [G] jar
And be [E7] better off than you [A7] are [D7] or would you rather be a [G] fish
A [G] fish won't do [C] anything but [G] swim in a [C] brook
He [G] can't write his [C] name or read a [G] book [Em7]
To [A7] fool the people is his [D] only thought
And [Em7] though he's [A7] slippery he [D] still [A7] gets [D7]caught
But then if [G] that sort of [C] life is what you [G] wish [E7]
[Am] You may grow [D7] up to be a [G] fish
And all the [E7] monkeys aren't in the [A7] zoo
Every [D7] day you meet quite a [G] few
So you [E7] see it's all up to [A7] you [D7] you can be better than you [E7] are
[Am] You could be [D7] swingin' on a [G] star

There [Am] is a [C] house in [D] New Or[F]leans
They [Am] call the [C] Rising [E7] Sun
And it's [Am] been the [C] ruin of [D] many a poor [F] boy
And [Am] God I [E7] know I'm [Am] one [E7]
My [Am] mother [C] was a [D] tailor [F]
She [Am] sewed my [C] new blue [E7] jeans
My [Am] father [C] was a [D] gamblin' [F] man
[Am] Down in [E7] New Or[Am]leans [E7]
Now the [Am] only [C] thing a [D] gambler [F] needs
Is a [Am] suit[C]case and [E7] trunk
And the [Am] only [C] time that [D] he's satis[F]fied
Is [Am] when he's [E7] on a [Am] drunk [E7]
Oh [Am] mother [C] tell your [D] children [F]
Not to [Am] do what [C] I have [E7] done
[Am] Spend your [C] lives in [D] sin and mise[F]ry
In the [Am] House of the [E7] Rising [Am] Sun [E7]
Well I got [Am] one foot [C] on the [D] platform [F]
The [Am] other [C] foot on the [E7] train
I'm [Am] goin' [C] back to [D] New Or[F]leans
To [Am] wear that [E7] ball and [Am] chain [E7]
Well there [Am] is a [C] house in [D] New Or[F]leans
They [Am] call the [C] Rising [E7] Sun
And it's [Am] been the [C] ruin of [D] many a poor [F] boy
And [Am] God I [E7] know I'm [Am] one [E7] [Am]
LEAVIN’ ON A JET PLANE w.m. John Denver 4/4 1…2…123
All my bags are packed, I’m ready to go, I’m standing here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breaking, it’s early morn’, taxi’s waiting, he’s blowing his horn.
Already I’m so lonesome I could cry. CHORUS:
So kiss me and smile for me, tell me that you’ll wait for me
Hold me like you’ll never let me go
‘Cause I’m leavin’ on a jet plane, don’t know when I’ll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go.
Leavin’ On a Jet Plane p. 2
There’s so many times I’ve let you down, so many times I’ve played around
I tell you now… they don’t mean a thing
Every place I go I’ll think of you, every song I sing I’ll sing for you
When I come back I’ll wear your wedding ring…………… CHORUS
Now the time has come to leave you, one more time, let me kiss you
Then close your eyes, I’ll be on my way
Dream about the days to come, when I won’t have to leave alone
About the times I won’t have to say……………….CHORUS
TAKE ME HOME, COUNTRY ROADS 4/4 1…2…1234
Almost heaven, West Virginia, Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River All my memories, gather ‘round her, miner’s lady, stranger to blue water
Life is old there, older than the trees, younger than the mountains, growin’ like a breeze Dark and dusty, painted on the sky, misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye
Country roads, take me home to the place I be-long:
REPEAT (2nd verse) West Vir-ginia, mountain momma, take me home, country roads
I hear her voice, in the mornin’ hours she calls me, radio re-minds me of my home far away
Drivin’ down the road I get a feelin’ that I should have been home yesterday, yester-day
Country roads, take me home to the place I be-long:
West Vir-ginia, mountain momma, take me home, country roads… take me home, country roads

Yes, sir, that’s my baby now.
ON THE SUNNY SIDE OF THE STREET 4/4 1…2…123
Grab your coat and get your hat, leave your worries on the door - step
Just direct your feet to the sunny side of the street
Can’t you hear a pitter pat and that happy tune is your step
Life can be so sweet on the sunny side of the street
I used to walk in the shade with the blues on pa-rade
Now I’m not a-fraid, this rover crossed over
If I never have a cent I’ll be rich as Rocke-fel -- ler
Gold dust at my feet on the sunny side of the street
TEQUILA! On the sunny, on that sunny side of the street.
MY BLUE HEAVEN 4/4 1234 1
When Whippoorwills call and evening is nigh
I hurry to my blue heaven.
A turn to the right, a little white light
Will lead you to my blue heaven.
You'll see a smiling face, a fireplace, a cozy room,
A little nest that's nestled where the roses bloom.
Just Mollie and me and baby makes three
We're happy in my blue, my blue, my blue heaven
123456 7
SIDE BY SIDE 4/4 1…2…123
Oh, we ain’t got a barrel of mo- ney, maybe we’re ragged and fun- ny,
But we’ll travel a-long, singin’ a song, side by side. 1 3 2 4
Oh, we don’t know what’s comin’ tomor- row, maybe it’s trouble and sor - row,
But we’ll travel the road, sharin’ our load, side by side.
Through all kinds of weather, what if the sky should fall?
Just as long as we’re together, it doesn’t matter at all.
When they’ve all had their quarrels and part- ed, we’ll be the same as we start- ed,
Just a’travellin’ a-long, singin’ a song, side…….by……side.
OH! YOU BEAUTIFUL DOLL 4/4 1…2…1234
Oh! You beautiful doll, you great big beautiful doll
Let me put my arms about you
I could never live without you
Oh! You beautiful doll, you great big beautiful doll
If you ever leave me, how my heart would ache
I want to hug you but I fear you’d break
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! You beautiful doll.
ALL OF ME 4/4 1…2…1234
All of me, why not take all of me?
Can’t you see I’m no good with-out you?
Take my lips, I want to lose them.
Take my arms, I’ll never use them.
Your good-byes left me with eyes that cry.
How can I go on, dear, with-out you?
You took the part that once was my heart, so why not take all of me?
SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY 4/4 1…2…1234
Gonna take a Sentimental Journey, gonna set my heart at ease.
Gonna take a Sentimental Journey, to renew old memories.
Got my bag, I got my reservation, spent each dime I could af-ford.
Like a child in wild antici-pation, long to hear that “all a-board.”
Seven, that’s the time we leave at seven, I’ll be waiting up for heaven
Counting every mile of railroad track that takes me back.
Never thought my heart could be so yearny, why did I decide to roam?
Gonna take a Sentimental Journey, Sentimental Journey home.
WHEN YOU’RE SMILING
4/4 1234 12
When you’re smiling, when you’re smiling, the whole world smiles with you.
When you’re laughing, when you’re laughing, the sun comes shining through.
But when you’re crying, you bring on the rain,
So stop your sighing, be happy again.
Keep on smiling, ‘cause when you’re smiling
The whole world smiles with you!

What would you think if I sang out of tune, would you stand up and walk out on me?
Lend me your ears and I’ll sing you a song, and I’ll try not to sing out of key.
Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends, mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, I’m gonna try with a little help from my friends.
What do I do when my love is away? (Does it worry you to be a- lone?)
How do I feel at the end of the day? (Are you sad because you’re on your own?)
Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends, mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, I’m gonna try with a little help from my friends.

TRAVELIN' MAN 4/4 1...2...123 (without intro)
Intro: 4 4 4 4 4 4 2 2 1 3
I'm a travelin' man, I've made a lot of stops all over the world
And in every port I own the heart of at least one lovely girl
I've a pretty Seniorita waiting for me down in old Mexi-co
If you're ever in A-laska stop and see my cute little Eski - mo
Oh, my sweet Fraulein down in Berlin town makes my heart start to yearn
And my China doll down in old Hong Kong waits for my re-turn
Pretty Polynesian baby over the sea, I remember the night
When we walked in the sands of the Waikiki and I held you oh so tight.
Oh, I'm a travelin' man, yes, I'm a travelin' man, oh, I'm a travelin' man
LOVE POTION NUMBER 9 4/4 1…2…1234
I took my troubles down to Madame Ruth, you know the gypsy with the gold capped tooth
She’s got a pad down at Thirty-fourth and Vine, selling little bottles of ….Love Potion # 9
I told her that I was a flop with chicks. I’ve been that way since nineteen fifty-six
She looked at my palm and she made a magic sign, told me what I needed was L P #9 Chorus:
She bent down and turned around and gave me a wink
She said I’m gonna mix it up right here in the sink
It smelled like turpentine and looked like India ink
I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink
I didn’t know if it was day or night, I started kissing every-thing in sight
1 But when I kissed the cop down at Thirty-fourth and Vine, he broke my little bottle of L P #9. (chorus)
2 But when I kissed the cop down at Thirty-fourth and Vine, he broke my little bottle of L P #9. (X3)
DREAM LOVER 4/4 1…2…1234
Every night I hope and pray a dream lover will come my way. Dream lover, where are you with a love, oh, so true
A girl to hold in my arms and know the magic of her charms And a hand that I can hold to feel you near when I grow old
Because I want a girl to call my own,
1) REPEAT (2nd verse) I want a dream lover so I don’t have to dream a-lone
2) I want a dream lover so I don’t have to dream a-lone
Some day, I don’t know how, I hope you’ll hear my plea
Some way, I don’t know how, she’ll bring her love to me.
Dream lover, until then I’ll go to sleep and dream again
That’s the only thing to do until my lover’s dreams come true
Because I want a girl to call my own I want a dream lover so I don’t have to dream a- F Dm Gm7 C7 F Dm Gm7 C7 F Bb F F6 Dream lover so I don’t have to dream a- dream lover so I don’t have to dream a-lone 2 2 2

IT’S ONLY A PAPER MOON w. E.Y. Harburg, Billy Rose m. Harold Arlen
4/4 1…2…1234
Say, it’s only a paper moon sailing over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn’t be make believe if you believed in me.
Yes, it’s only a canvas sky hanging over a muslin tree
But it wouldn’t be make believe if you believed in me.
Without your love, it’s a honky-tonk parade.
Without your love, it’s a melody played in a penny arcade.
It’s a Barnum and Bailey world, just as phony as it can be
But it wouldn’t be make believe if you believed………. if you believed………., 8 8
If you… be….lieved… in me. 8 12 34 trips 123

PEACEFUL EASY FEELING 4/4 1...2...1234
Intro: 4 4 4 4
I like the way your sparklin' earrings lay against your skin so brown
And I wanna sleep with you in the desert to-night, with a billion stars all a-round
'Cause I got a peaceful easy feelin' and I know you won't let me down
'Cause I'm al - ready standin' on the ground
I found out a long time a-go what a woman can do to your soul
Ah, but she can't take you any - where, you don't already know how to go
And I got a peaceful easy feelin' and I know you won't let me down
'Cause I'm al - ready standin' on the ground
p. 2 Peaceful Easy Feeling
I get this feelin' I may know you as a lover and a friend
But this voice keeps whispering in my other ear, tells me I may never see you a-gain
'Cause I got a peaceful easy feelin' and I know you won't let me down
'Cause I'm al - ready standin,' yes I'm al - ready standin',
I'm al - ready standin' on the ground... 4 4 3 1
SHINE ON HARVEST MOON Hit F chord 4/4 1…2…1234
Shine on, shine on harvest moon, up in the sky.
I ain’t had no lovin’ since January, February, June or July.
Snow time ain’t no time to stay out-doors and spoon,
So shine on, shine on harvest moon, for me and my gal.
MOONLIGHT BAY
We were sailing along on Moonlight Bay.
We could hear the voices singing; they seemed to say,
“You have stolen my heart, now don’t go ‘way,”
As we sang love’s old sweet song on Moonlight Bay.
