WELL THEY BLEW UP THE CHICKEN MAN IN PHILLY LAST NIGHT
NOW THEY BLEW UP HIS HOUSE TOO
DOWN ON THE BOARDWALK THEY'RE GETTIN' READY FOR A FIGHT
GONNA SEE WHAT THEM RACKET BOYS CAN DO
NOW THERE'S TROUBLE BUSIN' IN FROM OUTTA STATE
AND THE D.A. CAN'T GET NO RELIEF
GONNA BE A RUMBLE OUT ON THE PROMENADE AND THE GAMBLIN' COMMISSION'S HANGIN' ON BY THE SKIN OF ITS TEETH
CHORUS
WELL I GOT A JOB AND TRIED TO PUT MY MONEY AWAY
BUT I GOT DEBTS THAT NO HONEST MAN CAN PAY

NOW OUR LUCK MAY HAVE DIED AND OUR LOVE MAY BE COLD
BUT WITH YOU FOREVER I'LL STAY
WE'RE GOIN' OUT WHERE THE SAND'S TURNIN' TO GOLD
SO PUT ON YOUR STOCKIN'S BABY `CAUSE THE NIGHT'S GETTING COLD
NOW I BEEN LOOKIN' FOR A JOB BUT IT'S HARD TO FIND
DOWN HERE IT'S JUST WINNERS AND LOSERS
AND DON'T GET CAUGHT ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THAT LINE
WELL I'M TIRED OF COMIN' OUT ON THE LOSIN' END

YOU WALK INTO THE ROOM WITH YOUR PENCIL IN YOUR HAND
YOU SEE SOMEBODY NAKED AND YOU SAY, "WHO IS THAT MAN?"
YOU TRY SO HARD BUT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND
JUST WHAT YOU'LL SAY WHEN YOU GET HOME
YOU RAISE UP YOUR HEAD AND YOU ASK, "IS THIS WHERE IT IS?"
AND SOMEBODY POINTS TO YOU AND SAYS "IT'S HIS"
AND YOU SAY, "WHAT'S MINE?" AND SOMEBODY ELSE SAYS, "WHERE WHAT IS?"
AND YOU SAY, "OH MY GOD AM I HERE ALL ALONE?"
YOU HAND IN YOUR TICKET AND YOU GO WATCH THE GEEK
WHO IMMEDIATELY WALKS UP TO YOU WHEN HE HEARS YOU SPEAK
AND SAYS, "HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE SUCH A FREAK?"
AND YOU SAY, "IMPOSSIBLE" AS HE HANDS YOU A BONE
YOU HAVE MANY CONTACTS AMONG THE LUMBERJACKS
TO GET YOU FACTS WHEN SOMEONE ATTACKS YOUR IMAGINATION
BUT NOBODY HAS ANY RESPECT ANYWAY THEY ALREADY EXPECT YOU
TO JUST GIVE A CHECK TO TAX-DEDUCTIBLE CHARITY ORGANIZATIONS
YOU'VE BEEN WITH THE PROFESSORS AND THEY'VE ALL LIKED YOUR LOOKS
WITH GREAT LAWYERS YOU HAVE DISCUSSED LEPERS AND CROOKS
YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH ALL OF F. SCOTT FITZGERALD'S BOOKS
YOU'RE VERY WELL READ, IT'S WELL KNOWN
WELL, THE SWORD SWALLOWER, HE COMES UP TO YOU
AND THEN HE KNEELS, HE CROSSES HIMSELF
AND THEN HE CLICKS HIS HIGH HEELS
AND WITHOUT FURTHER NOTICE HE ASKS YOU HOW IT FEELS
AND HE SAYS, "HERE IS YOUR THROAT BACK THANKS FOR THE LOAN"
NOW YOU SEE THIS ONE-EYED MIDGET SHOUTING THE WORD "NOW"
AND YOU SAY, "FOR WHAT REASON?" AND HE SAYS, "HOW?"
AND YOU SAY, "WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?" AND HE SCREAMS BACK, "YOU'RE A COW
GIVE ME SOME MILK, OR ELSE GO HOME"
WELL, YOU WALK INTO THE ROOM LIKE A CAMEL AND THEN YOU FROWN
YOU PUT YOUR EYES IN YOUR POCKET AND YOUR NOSE ON THE GROUND
THERE OUGHT TO BE A LAW AGAINST YOU COMIN' AROUND
YOU SHOULD BE MADE TO WEAR EARPHONES

I LOVE THE GROUND
WHEREON SHE STANDS
I LOVE MY LOVE AND WELL
SHE KNOWS
I LOVE THE GROUND
WHEREON SHE GOES.
BUT SOME TIMES I WISH
THE DAY WILL COME
THAT SHE AND I WILL BE
AS ONE
I WALK TO THE CLYDE FOR

BUT SATISFIED I NEVER CAN SLEEP
I'LL WRITE HER A LETTER,
JUST A FEW SHORT LINES
AND SUFFER DEATH 10 THOUSAND
TIMES
BLIND LOVE TOM WAITS
NOW YOU'RE GONE IT'S HOTELS AND WHISKEY AND SAD-LUCK DAMES
AND I DON'T CARE IF THEY MISS ME
I NEVER REMEMBER THEIR NAMES
THEY SAY IF YOU GET FAR ENOUGH AWAY
YOU'LL BE ON YOUR WAY BACK HOME
WELL, I'M AT THE STATION
AND I CAN'T GET ON THE TRAIN
MUST BE BLIND LOVE .
THE ONLY KIND OF LOVE IS STONE BLIND LOVE.
BLIND LOVE THE ONLY KIND OF LOVE IS STONE BLIND LOVE

BUT I GOTTA KNOW HOW IT FEELS I WANT TO KNOW IF LOVE IS WILD, AND I WANNA KNOW IF LOVE IS REAL
WELL, THE HIGHWAY'S JAMMED WITH BROKEN HEROES ON A LAST CHANCE POWER DRIVE
EVERYBODY'S OUT ON THE RUN TONIGHT, BUT THERE'S NO PLACE LEFT TO HIDE
TOGETHER, WENDY, WE COULD LIVE WITH THE SADNESS
I'LL LOVE YOU WITH ALL THE MADNESS IN MY SOUL , OH
OH, SOME DAY, GIRL, I DON'T KNOW WHEN
WE'RE GONNA GET TO THAT PLACE THAT WE REALLY WANNA GO
AND WE'LL WALK IN THE SUN. BUT 'TILL THEN, TRAMPS LIKE US,

THAT'S THE WAY THE WHOLE THING STARTED, SILLY BUT IT'S TRUE.
THINKING OF A SWEET ROMANCE BEGINNING IN A QUEUE.

JUST TO TRY AND RECALL THE WHOLE YEAR
ALL OF THE FACES AND ALL OF THE PLACES

I WAS HUNGRY AND WENT OUT FOR A BITE
RAN INTO A CHUM WITH A BOTTLE OF RUM
AND WE WOUND UP DRINKIN ALL NIGHT

READING DEPARTURE SIGNS IN SOME BIG AIRPORT
REMINDS ME OF THE PLACES I’VE BEEN
VISIONS OF GOOD TIMES THAT BROUGHT SO MUCH PLEASURE
MAKES ME WANT TO GO BACK AGAIN

GOOD TIMES AND RICHES AND SON OF A BITCHES
IVE SEEN MORE THAN I CAN RECALL

I THINK ABOUT PARIS WHEN I’M HIGH ON RED WINE
I WISH I COULD JUMP ON A PLANE
SO MANY NIGHTS I JUST DREAM OF THE OCEAN

THERE'S JUST TOO MUCH TO SEE WAITING IN FRONT OF ME
AND I KNOW THAT I JUST CAN'T GO WRONG

WHAT A DAY FOR A DAYDREAMING BOY

DREAMING BOUT MY BUNDLE OF JOY
AND EVEN IF TIME AIN’T REALLY ON MY SIDE
ITS ONE OF THOSE DAYS FOR TAKING A WALK OUTSIDE
I’M BLOWING THE DAY TO TAKE A WALK IN THE SUN
AND FALL ON MY FACE ON SOMEBODY’S NEW MOWED LAWN
I'VE BEEN HAVING A SWEET DREAM
I BEEN DREAMING SINCE I WOKE UP TODAY
IT STARTED ME ON MY SWEET DREAM
CAUSE SHE'S THE ONE THAT MAKES ME FEEL THIS WAY
AND EVEN IF TIME HAS PASSED ME BY A LOT
I COULDN’T CARE LESS ABOUT THE DUES YOU SAY I GOT
TOMORROW I'LL PAY THE DUES FOR DROPPING MY LOAD
A PIE IN THE FACE FOR BEING ASLEEP BEFORE DAWN
AND YOU CAN BE SURE THAT IF YOU'RE FEELING RIGHT
A DAYDREAM WILL LAST ALONG INTO THE NIGHT
TOMORROW AT BREAKFAST YOU CAN PICK UP YOUR EARS

DON'T WANT TO DISCUSS IT

OH OH DOMINO. X2
THERE'S NO NEED FOR ARGUMENT
THERE'S NO ARGUMENT AT ALL

OR VICE VERSA
THAT DEPENDS ON WHERE EVER YOU'RE AT

THAT JUST MEANS I WOULD RATHER NOT
DON’T LET ME BE MISUNDERSTOOD
BABY, DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME NOW.
SOMETIMES I FEEL A LITTLE MAD
BUT DON'T YOU KNOW THAT NO ONE ALIVE CAN ALWAYS BE AN ANGEL
WHEN THINGS GO WRONG I SEEM TO BE BAD
BUT I'M JUST A SOUL WHOSE INTENTIONS ARE GOOD
OH LORD, PLEASE DON'T LET ME BE MISUNDERSTOOD
BABY, SOMETIMES I'M SO CAREFREE. WITH A JOY THAT'S HARD TO HIDE
AND SOMETIMES IT SEEMS THAT ALL I HAVE DO IS WORRY
THEN YOU'RE BOUND TO SEE MY OTHER SIDE
IF I SEEM EDGY I WANT YOU TO KNOW
THAT I NEVER MEAN TO TAKE IT OUT ON YOU
LIFE HAS IT'S PROBLEMS AND I GET MY SHARE
AND THAT'S ONE THING I NEVER MEANT TO DO
BECAUSE I LOVE YOU
OH, OH BABY DON'T YOU KNOW I'M HUMAN.
HAVE THOUGHTS LIKE ANY OTHER ONE
SOMETIMES I FIND MYSELF LONG REGRETTING
SOME FOOLISH THING SOME LITTLE SIMPLE THING I'VE DONE
DOWN ON THE CORNER
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.
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. CHORUS

MY NERVES ALL JUMPIN', ACTIN' LIKE A FOOL
WELL YOUR KISSES THEY BURN, BUT YOUR HEART STAYS COOL
ROMEO AND JULIET, SAMSON AND DELILAH
BABY YOU CAN BET, THEIR LOVE THEY DIDN'T DENY
YOUR WORDS SAY SPLIT, BUT YOUR WORDS THEY LIE
'CAUSE WHEN WE KISS, MMMMMM, FIRE,FIRE
FOOL ON THE HILL
DAY AFTER DAY ALONE
THE MAN WITH A FOOLISH
NOBODY WANTS TO KNOW HIM
THEY CAN SEE THAT HE’S JUST
HE NEVER GIVES ANSWER
WELL ON THE WAY HEAD IN A
THE MAN OF A 1000 VOICES
NOBODY EVER HEARS HIM
OR THE SOUND HE APPEARS TO MAKE
HE NEVER SEEMS TO NOTICE
NOBODY SEEMS TO LIKE HIM
THEY CAN TELL WHAT HE WANTS TO DO
HE NEVER SHOWS FEELINGS
HE NEVER LISTENS TO THEM
HE KNOWS THAT THEY’RE FOOLS
THEY DON’T LIKE HIM
FOR NO ONE
YOUR DAY BREAKS, .. ACHES
YOU FIND THAT ALL THE WORDS
OF KINDNESS LINGER
WHEN SHE NO LONGER NEEDS
SHE WAKES UP, SHE MAKES UP
SHE TAKES HER TIME AND DOESN'T
FEEL SHE HAS TO HURRY
SHE NO LONGER NEEDS YOU
YOU WANT HER, YOU NEED
AND YET YOU DON'T BELIEVE HER
WHEN SHE SAID HER LOVE IS DEAD
YOU THINK SHE NEEDS YOU
INST
YOU STAY HOME, SHE GOES
SHE SAYS THAT LONG AGO SHE KNEW SOMEONE BUT
NOW HE'S GONE. SHE DOESN’T NEED YOU
YOUR DAY BREAKS, YOUR MIND ACHES
THERE WILL BE TIME WHEN ALL THE THINGS SHE SAID WILL FILL YOUR HEAD
YOU WON'T FORGET HER
FOREVER YOUNG
GOD BLESS … TRUE
ALWAYS DO OTHERS … YOU
MAY YOU BUILD … RUNG
*********
MAY YOU GROW UP TO BE RIGHTEOUS
/TRUE
MAY YOU ALWAYS KNOW THE TRUTH
… LIGHTS
MAY YOU ALWAYS BE COURAGEOUS
… STRONG

HANDS … BUSY
FEET .. SWIFT
STRONG FOUNDATION … WINDS …
… HEART … JOYFUL
SONG ALWAYS BE SUNG
FORTUNATE SON
SOME FOLKS ARE BORN MADE TO WAVE THE FLAG,
OOH, THEY'RE RED, WHITE AND BLUE.
AND WHEN THE BAND PLAYS "HAIL TO THE CHIEF"
THEY POINT THE CANNON RIGHT AT YOU.
SENATOR’S SON
SOME FOLKS ARE BORN SILVER SPOON IN HAND,
LORD, DON'T THEY HELP THEMSELVES.
BUT WHEN THE TAX MAN COMES TO THE DOOR:
LORD, THE HOUSE LOOKS LIKE A RUMMAGE SALE.
RICH MAN’S SON
SOME FOLKS INHERIT STAR SPANGLED EYES,
OOH, THEY SEND YOU DOWN TO WAR.
AND WHEN YOU ASK THEM: "HOW MUCH SHOULD WE GIVE?"
OH, THEY ONLY ANSWER: "MORE, MORE, MORE"
MILITARY SON
GGGET TOGETHER
LOVE IS BUT THE SONG WE SING,
AND FEAR'S THE WAY WE DIE
YOU CAN MAKE THE MOUNTAINS RING
OR MAKE THE ANGELS CRY
KNOW THE DOVE IS ON THE WING
AND YOU NEED NOT KNOW WHY
CHORUS
SOME WILL COME AND SOME WILL GO
WE SHALL SURELY PASS
WHEN THE ONE THAT LEFT US HERE
RETURNS FOR US AT LAST
WE ARE BUT A MOMENTS SUNLIGHT
FADING IN THE GRASS
CHORUS
IF YOU HEAR THE SONG I SING,
YOU MUST UNDERSTAND
YOU HOLD THE KEY TO LOVE AND FEAR
ALL IN YOUR TREMBLING HAND
JUST ONE KEY UNLOCKS THEM BOTH
IT'S THERE AT YOUR COMMAND
CHORUS

GIMME JUMPING JACK SHELTER
OOH, A STORM IS THREATENING / TODAY
IF I DON'T GET /FADE AWAY
I WAS BORN IN A CROSS-FIRE
AND I HOWLED AT MY MA IN THE DRIVING RAIN
I WAS RAISED BY A …HAG,
I WAS SCHOOLED WITH A STRAP … MY BACK,
CH.
FIRE IS SWEEPIN, OUR VERY STREETS
BURNS LIKE A RED COAL CARPET,
MAD BULL LOST ITS WAY
I WAS DROWNED, I WAS WASHED UP AND LEFT FOR DEAD.
I FELL DOWN TO MY FEET AND I SAW THEY BLED.
I FROWNED AT THE CRUMBS OF A CRUST OF BREAD.
I WAS CROWNED WITH A SPIKE RIGHT THRU MY HEAD.
TAG
JUMPING JACK FLASH
IT’S A GAS
THE FLOOD IS THREATENING,
GIMME, GIMME SHELTER, OR I'M GONNA FADE AWAY
GROOVIN, ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON..
REALLY, COULDN'T GET AWAY TOO SOON..
I CAN'T IMAGINE ANYTHING THAT'S BETTER..
THE WORLD IS OURS WHENEVER WE'RE TOGETHER
THERE AIN'T A PLACE I'D LIKE TO BE INSTEAD OF..
MOVIN DOWN A CROWDED AVENUE
DOING ANYTHING WE LIKE TO DO..
THERE'S ALWAYS LOTS OF THINGS THAT WE CAN SEE...
YOU CAN BE ANYONE WE LIKE TO BE
ALL THOSE HAPPY PEOPLE WE COULD MEET..
JUST GROOVIN ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON
REALLY, COULDN'T GET AWAY TOO SOON...
… AAH, AAH..
WE'LL KEEP ON SPENDING SUNNY DAYS THIS WAY..
WE'RE GONNA TALK AND LAUGH OUR TIME AWAY...
I FEEL IT COMING CLOSER DAY BY DAY..
LIFE WOULD BE EXTASY, YOU AND ME ENDLESSLY...
GROOVIN, ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON..
REALLY, COULDN'T GET AWAY TO SOON.
NO, NO, NO, NO..
GROOVIN...GROOVIN...
HHHALLELUJAH TO TOP ==H==
SECRET CHORD
THAT DAVID PLAYED,
BUT YOU DON'T REALLY CARE
IT GOES LIKE THIS MAJOR LIFT
THE BAFFLED KING COMPOSING HALLELUJAH
YOUR FAITH … PROOF
YOU SAW …ROOF
HER BEAUTY IN THE MOONLIGHT OVERTHREW YOU
SHE TIED YOU TO A KITCHEN CHAIR
SHE BROKE YOUR THRONE, AND SHE CUT YOUR HAIR
AND FROM YOUR LIPS SHE DREW THE HALLELUJAH
MAYBE THERE’S A GOD ABOVE
BUT ALL I’VE EVER LEARNED FROM LOVE
WAS HOW TO SHOOT AT SOMEONE WHO OUTDREW YOU
IT’S NOT A CRY YOU CAN HEAR AT NIGHT
IT’S NOT SOMEBODY WHO HAS SEEN THE LIGHT
IT’S A COLD AND IT’S A BROKEN HALLELUJAH
HALLELUJAH, HALLELUJAH
I DID MY BEST, IT WASN'T MUCH
I COULDN'T FEEL, SO I TRIED TO TOUCH
I'VE TOLD THE TRUTH, I DIDN'T COME TO FOOL YOU
AND EVEN THOUGH IT ALL WENT WRONG
I'LL STAND BEFORE THE LORD OF SONG
WITH NOTHING ON MY TONGUE BUT HALLELUJAH
HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THE RAIN
SOMEONE TOLD ME
IT’S BEEN COMING
WHEN IT’S OVER
SHINING DOWN
YESTERDAY AND DAY. SUN
BEEN THAT WAY
STILL FOREVER

HOW SWEET IT IS MARVIN GAYE –[A]
HOW SWEET IT IS, TO BE LOVED BY YOU. x2
I NEEDED THE SHELTER, OF SOMEONE'S ARMS,
AND THERE YOU WERE.
I NEEDED SOMEONE, TO UNDERSTAND,
MY UPS AND DOWNS, AND THERE YOU WERE.
WITH SWEET LOVE, AND DEVOTION,
DEEPLY TOUCHING, MY EMOTION.
CHORUS
I JUST WANT TO STOP, AND THANK YOU BABY, x2
HOW SWEET IT IS, TO BE LOVED BY YOU. x2
I CLOSE MY EYES AT NIGHT,
AND WONDER WHAT WOULD I, BE WITH-OUT YOU IN MY LIFE?
EVERYTHING WAS JUST A BORE,
ALL THE THINGS I DID, SEEMS I DONE 'EM BEFORE.
BUT YOU BRIGHTENED UP, ALL MY DAYS,
WITH A LOVE SO SWEET, IN SO MANY WAYS. CHORUS
YOU WERE BETTER TO ME, THAN I BEEN FOR MYSELF.
FOR ME, THERE'S YOU, AND NOBODY ELSE.
DON’T YOU WORRY WHAT HAPPENS NOW
I KNOW WE’LL GET ALONG SOMEHOW. CHORUS
HUMAN NATURE
LOOKING OUT ACROSS THE NIGHT-TIME
THE CITY WINKS A SLEEPLESS EYE
HEAR HER VOICE SHAKE MY WINDOW
SWEET SEDUCING SIGHS
GET ME OUT INTO THE NIGHT-TIME
FOUR WALLS WON'T HOLD ME TONIGHT
IF THIS TOWN IS JUST AN APPLE
THEN LET ME TAKE A BITE
REACHING OUT TO TOUCH A STRANGER
ELECTRIC EYES ARE EV'RYWHERE
SEE THAT GIRL SHE KNOWS I'M WATCHING
SHE LIKES THE WAY I STARE
LOOKING OUT ACROSS THE MORNING
THE CITY'S HEART BEGINS TO BEAT
REACHING OUT I TOUCH HER SHOULDER
I'M DREAMING OF THE STREET
