Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head
By Burt F. Bacharach & Hal David

VERSE 1
[C] Raindrops keep falling on my [Cmaj7] head and [Gm7] just like the [C7] guy whose feet are [F] too big for his [Em7] bed, [A7] nothing seems to [Em7] fit—[A7] those [Dm7] raindrops are falling on my head they keep [G7] falling.


VERSE 2
So I just [C] did me some talking to the [Cmaj7] sun, and I [Gm7] said I didn’t [C7] like the [F] way he got things [Em7] done, [A7] sleepin’ on the [Em7] job— [A7] those [Dm7] raindrops are falling on my head they keep [G7] falling.


BRIDGE
But there’s one [C] thing I  [Cmaj7] know, the [Dm] blues they send to [G7] meet me won’t de[Em7]feat me. It won’t be long till [A9] happiness steps [Dm7] up to greet me. [G7]


VERSE 4
[C] Raindrops keep falling on my [Cmaj7] head, but [Gm7] that doesn’t [C7] mean my eyes will [F] soon be turning [Em7] red— [A7] cryin’s not for [Em7] me [A7] ‘cause [Dm7] I’m never gonna stop the rain by com[G7]plaining.


CODA
[G7] Because I’m [C] free, [Cmaj7] [Dm7] nothing’s worrying [C] me. [Cmaj7] [Dm7] nothing’s [G7] worrying [C] me.

You Are My Sunshine
By Jimmie Davis or Oliver Hood


VERSE 1
[C] The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping, [C7] I dreamed I [F] held you in my [C] arms. [C7]


When I a[F]woke, dear, I was mis[C]taken—so I hung my [G] head and I [C] cried.


CHORUS
[C] You are my sunshine, my only sunshine—[C7] you make me [F]happy when skies are [C] gray. [C7]


You'll never [F] know, dear, how much I [C] love you—please don't take my [G] sunshine a[C]way.


VERSE 2
[C] I’ve always loved you and made you happy, [C7] and nothing [F] else could come be[C] tween. [C7]


But then you [F] left me to go to hea[C]ven—and this all feels [G] like a bad [C] dream.

[D7] Let our [G] rejoi[B7]cing [E] rise high as the [Am] liste[B7]ning [C] skies— [A7] let it re[G]sound loud as the [D7] rolling [G] sea.


BRIDGE
[G] Sing [D] a [Em] song full of the faith that the dark past has [D] taught [D7] us.


[G] Sing [D] a [Cm] song full of the hope that the present has [G] brought [D7] us.


VERSE 2
[D7] Facing the [G] ri[B7]sing [E] sun of our new [Am] day [B7] be[C]gun— [A7] let us march [G] on till victo[D7]ry is [G] won. [A7] Let us march [G] on till victo[D7]ry is [G] won.

Changes
By Phil Ochs


VERSE 1
[G] Sit by my [A] side, come as [D] close as the [Em] air; [G] share in a [A] memory of [F#m] gray, and [Bm] wander in my [Em] words, [A] dream about the [D] pictures that I [Em]pla[A]ay of [D] changes.


VERSE 2
[G] Green leaves of [A] summer turn [D] red in the [Em] fall, to [G] brown and to [A] yellow they [F#m] fade—and [Bm] then they have to [Em] die, [A] trapped within the [D] circle time pa[Em]ra[A]ade of [D]changes.


VERSE 3
[G] Scenes of my [A] young years were [D] warm in my [Em] mind, [G] visions of [A] shadows that [F#m] shine—’til [Bm] one day I re[Em]turned and [A] found they were the [D] victims of the [Em] vi[A]ines of [D]changes.


VERSE 4
The [G] world's spinning [A] madly, it [D] drifts in the [Em] dark, [G] swings through a [A] hollow of [F#m] haze—a [Bm] race around the [Em] stars, a [A] journey through the [D] universe a[Em]bla[A]aze with [D] changes.


VERSE 5
[G] Moments of [A] magic will [D] glow in the [Em] night, all [G] fears of the [A] forest are [F#m] gone—and [Bm] when the morning [Em] breaks, they're [A] swept away by [D] golden drops of [Em] da[A]awn of [D] changes.


VERSE 6
[G] Passions will [A] part to a [D] strange melo[Em]dy as [G] fires will [A] sometimes burn [F#m] cold—like [Bm] petals in the [Em] wind, we’re [A] puppets to the [D] silver strings of [Em] so[A]auls of [D] changes.


VERSE 7
Your [G] tears will be [A] trembling, now [D] we're somewhere [Em] else, one [G] last cup of [A] wine we will [F#m] pour and I'll [Bm] kiss you one more [Em] time, and [A] leave you on the [D] rolling river [Em] sho[A]ores of [D] changes.

VERSE 1
A [C] ship in the harbor will always stay safe; tied [F] up to a dock ain't why it was [G] made. It craves [Am] wind through the sails, wood on the waves, [G] paired to the great unknown.


VERSE 2
And [C] one or two fathoms there live the spoils, but [F] the price of the barrel ain't worth the [G] oil. When the [Am] seasons over, steer it towards home through [G] the peace of someplace to go.


CHORUS
And I need you [F] now, no [C] other— [G] go ahead, get [F] loud like [C] thunder, the [G] storm's coming [F] down. You're my [G] lighthouse, you [Am] save my [F] soul. [G]


VERSE 3
Magenta [C] sky in the morning, less gentle by noon means the [F] whitecaps will surely kick the [G] heel of the moon and the [Am] stars, they're like ivory, [G] placed there to guide me home.


CHORUS
And I need you [F] now, no [C] other— [G] go ahead, get [F] loud like [C] thunder, the [G] storm's coming [F] down. You're my [G] lighthouse, you [Am] save my [F] soul. [G]

A Gift for You
Words by Rumi

VERSE 1
[C] What’s the point bringing [Dm] gold to the [G] mine? [C] What’s the use giving [Dm] water to the [G] sea?
You have [F] no i[G]dea how [C] hard I’ve [Am] looked to [F] find a [G] gift for [C] You. [G]


VERSE 2
[C] Everything I [Dm] came up [G] with was like [C] trying to bring spice [Dm] to the [G] East.

​Seasons In The Sun
By Jacques Brel & Rod McKuen


VERSE 1
[C] Goodbye my friend, you are the [C] one who gave me [C5] love and helped me [Dm] find the sun. [Dm7] [G] And every[G7]time that I was [C] down you would always come a[Dm]round and get my [G] feet back on the [C] ground.


VERSE 2
Goodbye my friend it’s hard to [C] die, when all the [C5] birds are singing [Dm] in the sky. [Dm7] [G] Now that [G7] spring is in the [C] air, with the flowers every[Dm]where, [Dm7] [G] I wish that [G7] we could both be [C] there.


CHORUS
We had [C] joy, we had [C5] fun, we had [Dm] seasons in the [Dm7] sun—but the [Dm] hills that we [G] climbed were just [G7] seasons [G7sus2] out [G7] of [C] time.


We had [C] joy, we had [C5] fun, we had [Dm] seasons in the [Dm7] sun—but the [Dm] stars we could [G] reach were just [G7] starfish [G7sus2] on [G7] the [C] beach.


We had [C] joy, we had [C5] fun, we had [Dm] seasons in the [Dm7] sun—but the [Dm] wine and the [G] song like the [G7] seasons [G7sus2] have [G7] all [C] gone.

VERSE 3
We're [Dm] lying [G] on the [C] moon; it's a [Dm] perfect [G] after[C]noon. Your shadow [Dm] follows [G] me all [C] day, [Dm] making [G] sure I'm o[F]kay, and we're a [Fm] million miles [C] away.

Time In a Bottle
By Jim Croce

VERSE 1
If [Dm] I could save time in a bottle, the [Gm] first thing I'd like to [A7] do is to [Dm] save every day till e[Bb]ternity passes a[Dm]way—just to [Gm] spend them with [A7] you.


VERSE 2
If [Dm] I could make days last forever, if [Gm] words could make wishes come [A7] true, I'd [Dm] save every day like a [Bb] treasure—and [Gm7] then again, [Gm] I’d spend them with [A7] you.


CHORUS
(Cause / But) there [D] never seems to [Em7] be enough time to [D] do the things you [Em7] want to do once you [G] find them. [D] [Em7] [A7]

[G] Every time it [A7] rains, it rains [C] pennies from [D] heaven. [D7] [G] Don't you know each [A7] cloud contains [C] pennies from [D] heaven? [D7]


[G] You'll find your [G7] fortune falling [C] all over [E7] town—[A7] be sure that your umbrella is [D] upside [D7] down.


[G] Trade them for a [A7] package of [C] sunshine and [D] flowers. [D7] [G] If you want the [G7] things you love, [E7] you must have [A7] showers.


[Am] So when you [Cm] hear it thunder, [G] don't run under a [E7] tree—there'll be [Am] pennies from [Cm] heaven for [D] you [D7] and [G] me.

Place to Be

Lobsters live at the [F] bottom of the sea, while [G7] I’m at the bottom of the [C] air.

In the Wilderness
By Tim Eriksen


In the wilderness (in the wilderness), with 100,000 $100 bills, we could build (we could build) a fire.


We could build (we could build) an impermanent dwelling.


We could stitch together some kind of uncomfortable paper suit.


In the wilderness.
