          D                D7     G              
There's a storm across the valley clouds are rollin' in
 
    A7                              D  
the afternoon is heavy on your shoulders
 
                           D7          G  
there's a truck out on the four lane a mile or more away
 
    A7                                  D
the whinin' of his wheels just makes it colder
 
 
            D                D7             G

ROCKY MOUNTAIN HIGH

 

 
       G                         C    D
He was born in the summer of his 27th year,
       G                          C
Comin' home to a place he'd never been before.
        G           Em                  C                D
He left yesterday behind him, you might say he was born again,
          G                            C
You might say he found a key for every door.
        G                              C             D
When he first came to the mountain his life was far away,
       G                     C
On the road and hangin' by a song,
        G                Em            C              D
But the string's already broken and he doesn't really care,
         G                                   C
It keeps changin' fast and it don't last for long.
          C        D              G          C               D           G
 But the Colorado Rocky Mountain high, I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky.
      C               D            G                  C
 The shadow from the starlight is softer than a lullaby.
                 G         C                    G         C
 Rocky Mountain high, Colorado, Rocky Mountain high, Colorado.
   G                                   C               D
He climbed cathedral mountains, he saw silver clouds below,
       G                            C
He saw everything as far as you can see.
         G               Em                C                  D
And they say that he got crazy once and he tried to touch the sun,
       G                               C
And he lost a friend, but kept his memory.
G                                  C               D

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now he walks in quiet solitude the forests and the streams,
        G                      C
Seeking grace in every step he takes.
    G                  Em              C            D
His sight has turned inside himself to try and understand
    G                                 C
The serenity of a clear blue mountain lake.
          C        D              G          C               D           G
 And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high, I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky.
          C               D             G        C
 You can talk to God and listen to the casual reply.
                 G         C                    G         C
 Rocky Mountain high, Colorado, Rocky Mountain high, Colorado.
        G                               C                     D
Now his life is full of wonder, but his heart still know some fear
     G                            C
Of a simple thing he cannot comprehend.
         G               Em               C                 D
Why they try to tear the mountain down to bring in a couple more,
     G                           C
More people, more scars upon the land.
          C        D              G          C               D           G
 And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high, I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky.
    C              D                G                  C
 I know he'd be a poorer man if he never saw an eagle fly.
                 G            C        D              G
 Rocky Mountain high, it's a Colorado Rocky Mountain high,
       C               D           G    C                  D            G   C
 I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky, friends around the campfire and everybody’s high.
                 G         C                    G         C
 Rocky Mountain high, Colorado, Rocky Mountain high, Colorado.

TILL THERE WAS YOU
 
 
There were bells on a hill,
But I never heard them ringing.
No I never heard them at all
Till there was you.
 
There were birds in the sky,
But I never saw them winging.
No I never saw them at all
Till there was you.
 
Then there was music, and wonderful roses
They tell me, 
in sweet fragrant meadows
of dawn, 
and you.
 
There was love all around,
But I never heard it singing.
No I never heard it at all
Till there was you.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
IF I FELL 
 
If I fell in love with you
would you promise to be true
and help me understand?
 
'Cause I've been in love before
and I found that love was more
than just holding hands
 
 
If I give my heart to you,
I must be sure
from the very start
that you,
would love me more than her
 
If I trust in you oh please,
don't run and hide
If I love you too oh please
don't hurt my pride like her,
 
'cause I couldn't stand the pain
and I,
would be sad if our new love,
was in vain
 
So I hope you see that I,
would love to love you,
and that she will cry
 
 
 
 
 

And I Love Her

 

 
I give her all my love
that's all I do
and if you saw my love
you'd love her too
and I love her
 
She gives me everything
and tenderly
the kiss my lover brings
She brings to me
and I love her
 
A love like ours
could never die
as long as I
have you near me
 
Bright are the stars that shine
dark is the sky
I know this love of mine
will never die
and I love her
 
Bright are the stars that shine
dark is the sky
I know this love of mine
will never die
and I love her
 
 

Things We Said Today

 

  
You say you will love me
if I have to go.
 
You'll be thinking of me,
somehow I will know.
 
Someday when I'm lonely,
wishing you weren't so far away,
then I will remember
things we said today.
 
You say you'll be mine, girl,
till the end of time.
 
These days such a kind girl,
seem so hard to find.
 
Someday when we're dreaming,
deep in love, not a lot to say,
then we will remember
things we said today.
 
Me, I'm just the lucky kind,
love to hear you say that love is luck.
And though we may be blind,
love is here to stay, and that's enough
 
to make you mine, girl,
be the only one.
 
Love me all the time girl WE’LL GO ON AND ON
 

I'll Cry Instead

 

I've got every reason on earth to be mad, 
'cause I've just lost the only girl I had. 
If I could get my way, 
I'd get myself locked up today, 
but I can't,
so I'll cry instead.
 
I've got a chip on my shoulder that's bigger than my feet,
I can't talk to people that I meet. 
If I could see you now,
I'd try to make you sad somehow, 
but I can't,
so I'll cry instead.
 
Don't want to cry when there's people there, 
I get shy when they start to stare, 
I'm gonna hide myself away,
but I'll come back again someday.
 
And when I do you'd better hide all the girls, 
'cause I'm gonna break their hearts all 'round the world. 
Yes, I'm gonna break them in two, 
I'll show you what your loving man can do.
Until then I'll cry instead.
 
 
Someday when we're dreaming,
deep in love, not a lot to say,
then we will remember
things we said today.
 
 
 
 
 
 

No Reply

                                           
 
This happened once before,
when I came to your door,
no reply.
 
They said it wasn't you,
but I saw you peep through your window.
 
I saw the light, I saw the light,
I know that you saw me,
'cos I looked up to see,
your face.
 
I tried to telephone,
they said you were not home,
that's a lie,
 
'Cos I know where you've been,
I saw you walk in your door.
 
I nearly died, I nearly died,
'cos you walked hand in hand
with another man,
in my place.
 
If I were you, I'd realise that I,
love you more than any other guy.
 
And I'll forgive the lies that I,
heard before,
when you gave me no reply.

I'll Follow The Sun

                                 
 
One day you'll look,
to see I've gone.
For tomorrow may rain so, 
I'll follow the sun.
 
Some day you'll know,
I was the one.
But tomorrow may rain so,
I'll follow the sun.
 
And now the time has come
And so my love I must go.
And though I lose a friend,
In the end you'll know, oooh.
 
One day you'll find, 
that I have gone.

You've Got To Hide Your Love Away

 

Here I stand with head in hand,
Turn my face to the wall.
If she's gone I can't go on,
feeling two-foot small
 
Everywhere people stare
each and every day.
I can see them laugh at me
And I hear them say.
 
Hey you've got to hide your love away
Hey you've got to hide your love away
 
How can I even try,
I can never win.
Hearing them, seeing them,
In the state I'm in
 
How could she say to me
Love will find a way.
Gather around all you clowns,
Let me hear you say
 
Hey you've got to hide your love away
Hey you've got to hide your love away
 
 
 
 
 

You're Going To Lose That Girl

 

You're going to lose that girl,
you're going to lose that girl.
 
If you don't take her out tonight,
she's going to change her mind,
and I will take her out tonight,
and I will treat her kind.
 
You're going to lose that girl,
you're going to lose that girl.
 
If you don't treat her right my friend,
you're going to find her gone.
'Cos I will treat her right and then
you'll be the lonely one.
 
You're going to lose that girl,
you're going to lose that girl.
 
I'll make a point
of taking her away from you, yeah,
the way you treat her, what else can I do?
 
You're going to lose that girl,
you're going to lose that girl.
 
 

 

I've Just Seen a Face

I've just seen a face
I can't forget the time or place
Where we just meet,
She's just a girl for me
and I want all the world to see
We've met.
 
Had it been another day
I might have looked the other way
And I'd have never been aware,
But as it is I'll dream of her tonight.
 
Falling yes I am falling,
And she keeps calling
Me back again.
 
I have never known
The like of this, I've been alone
And I have missed things
And kept out of sight,
for other girls were never quite
Like this
 
Falling yes I am falling,
And she keeps calling
Me back again.
        
Falling yes I am falling,
And she keeps calling
Me back again.
 
I've just seen a face

Yesterday

 

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away,
Now it looks as though they're here to stay,
Oh I believe in yesterday.
 
Suddenly, I'm not half to man I used to be,
There's a shadow hanging over me.
Oh yesterday came suddenly.
 
Why she had to go? 
I don't know she wouldn't say.
I said something wrong, 
now I long for yesterday.
 
Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play,
Now I need a place to hide away,
Oh I believe in yesterday.
 
 
 
 
 

Nowhere Man

                         
He's a real nowhere Man,
Sitting in his Nowhere Land,
Making all his nowhere plans
for nobody.
 
Doesn't have a point of view,
Knows not where he's going to,
Isn't he a bit like you and me?
 
Nowhere Man, please listen,
You don't know what you're missing,
Nowhere Man, the world is at your command.
 
He's as blind as he can be,
Just sees what he wants to see,
Nowhere Man can you see me at all?
 
Doesn't have a point of view,
Knows not where he's going to,
Isn't he a bit like you and me?
 
Nowhere Man, don't worry,
Take your time, don't hurry,
Leave it all 'till somebody else
lends you a hand.
 
He's a real Nowhere Man,
Sitting in his Nowhere Land,
Making all his nowhere plans
for nobody.

With A Little Help From My Friends

                                    
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, gonna try with a little help from my friends
 
What do I do when my love is away
(Does it worry you to be alone ?)
How do I feel by the end of the day, 
(Are you sad because you're on your own ?)
 
No, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends
 
Do you need anybody 
I need somebody to love
Could it be anybody
I want somebody to love.
 
Would you believe in a love at first sight
Yes, I'm certain that it happens all the time
What do you see when you turn out the light
I can't tell you but I know it's mine,
 
Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends
 
Do you need anybody 
I just need someone to love
Could it be anybody
I want somebody to love.
 
 
Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
with a little help from my friends.
 
 
 

A Day In The Life

                                    
I read the news today, oh boy,
About a lucky man who made the grade,
And though the news was rather sad,
Well, I just had to laugh.
I saw the photograph.
 
He blew his mind out in a car,
He didn't notice that the lights had changed,
A crowd of people stood and stared,
They've seen his face before,
Nobody was really sure if he was from the House of Lords.
 
I saw a film today, oh boy,
The English army had just won the war,
A crowd of people turned away,
But I just had a look,
Having read a book, I'd love to turn you on...
 
Woke up, fell out of bed,
dragged a comb across my head,
found my way downstairs and drank a cup,
and looking up I noticed I was late.
 
Found my coat and grabbed my hat,
made the bus in seconds flat,
found my way upstairs and had a smoke,
and somebody spoke and I went into a dream
 
I heard a news today, oh boy,
four thousand holes in Blackburn Lancashire,
and though the holes were rather small,
they had to count them all,
now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall,
I'd love to turn you on.
 
 

The Fool On The Hill

 

Day after day alone on the hill,
The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still,
But nobody wants to know him,
They can see that he's just a fool, 
And he never gives an answer,
But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning around.
 
Well on his way his head in a cloud,
The man of a thousand voices talking percetly loud
But nobody ever hears him,
Or the sound he appears to make,
And he never seems to notice,
But the fool on the hill...
 
Nobody seems to like him
They can tell what he wants to do.
And he never shows his feelings,
But the fool on the hill...
 
 
 
 
 
 

Strawberry Fields Forever

 

Let me take you down, 'cos I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout.
Strawberry Fields forever.
 
Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see.
It's getting hard to be someone but it all works out, it doesn't matter
much to me.
Let me take you down, 'cos I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout.
Strawberry Fields forever.
 
No one I think is in my tree, I mean it must be high or low.
That is you can't you know tune in but it's all right, that is I think
it's not too bad.
Let me take you down, 'cos I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout.
Strawberry Fields forever.
 
Always, no sometimes, think it's me, but you know I know when it's a dream.
I think I know I mean a 'Yes' but it's all wrong, that is I think I disagree.
Let me take you down, 'cos I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout.
Strawberry Fields forever.
Strawberry Fields forever.
 

While My Guitar gently Weeps

 

 

I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping 
While my guitar gently weeps 
I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping  
Still my guitar gently weeps 
I don't know why nobody told you how to unfold your love 
I don't know how someone controlled you  
They bought and sold you. 
 
I look at the world and I notice it's turning 
While my guitar gently weeps 
With every mistake we must surely be learning 
Still my guitar gently weeps  
I don't know how you were diverted 
You were perverted too 
I don't know how you were inverted 
No one alerted you. 
 
I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping 
While my guitar gently weeps 
Look at you all... 
Still my guitar gently weeps. 
 

I Will

 

 

Who knows how long I've loved you 
You know I love you still 
Will I wait a lonely lifetime 
If you want me to--I will. 
 
For if I ever saw you 
I didn't catch your name  
But it never really mattered 
I will always feel the same. 
 
Love you forever and forever 
Love you with all my heart 
Love you whenever we're together 
Love you when we're apart. 
 
And when at last I find you  
Your song will fill the air 
Sing it loud so I can hear you 
Make it easy to be near you 
For the things you do endear you to me 
You know I will 
I will. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Something

 

 

 
Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she woos me
 
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe her now
 
Somewhere in her smile she knows
That I don't need no other lover
Something in her style that shows me
 
Don't want to leave her now
You know I believe her now
 
You're asking me will my love grow
I don't know, I don't know
You stick around now it may show
I don't know, I don't know
 
Something in the way she knows
And all I have to do is think of her
Something in the things she shows me
 
Don't want to leave her now
You know I believe her now
 
 
 
 

Here Comes The Sun

 
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
and I say it's all right
 
Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
and I say it's all right
 
Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
and I say it's all right
 
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
 
Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
and I say it's all right
It's all right
 
 
 
I've Just Seen a Face 
by Lennon, McCartney
 
I've just seen a face,
I can't forget the time or place
That we'd just met, she's just the girl for me
And I want all the world to see we've met
Na na na na na na
 
Had it been another day
I might have looked the other way
But I had never been aware
And as it is I dream of her tonight
Na na na na na na
 
CHORUS:
Falling, yes I am falling
And she keeps calling me back again
 
I have never known
The likes of this, I've been alone
And I have missed things and kept out of sight
But other girls were never quite like this
Na na na na na na
 
CHORUS
 
I've just seen a face
I can t forget the time or place
And we'd just met, she's just the girl for me
And I want all the world to see we've met
Na na na na na na
