A Pair of Brown Eyes – The Pogues One [G] summer evening drunk to hell I [Am] sat there nearly [C] lifeless
An [G] old man in the corner sang where the [C] water lilies [Am] grow
And [G] on the juke box Johnny sang a[Am]bout a thing called [C] love
And it's [G] how are you [Am] kid, and [C] what’s your [G] name
And [C] how would you bloody [Am] know.
In [G] blood and death 'neath the screaming sky
I [Am] lay down on the [C] ground,
And the [G] arms and legs of other men,
Were [C] scattered all a[Am]round,
Some [G] cursed some prayed some prayed then cursed,
Then [C] prayed and bled some [Am] more,
And the [G] only [Am] thing that [C] I could [G] see,
Was a [G] pair of brown [Am] eyes that were [C] looking at [G] me
But when we got [Am] back labeled [C] parts one to [G] three,
[G] There was no pair of [Am] brown eyes [C] waiting for [G] me.
[G] And a rovin' a [Am] rovin' a [C] rovin' I'll [G] go,
For a [C] pair of brown [Am] eyes
[C] [C] [Am] [C] X2 I [G] looked at him he looked at me all I [Am] could do was [C] hate him
While [G] Ray and Philomena sang of [C] my elusive [Am] dreams
I [G] saw the streams the rolling hills
Where [Am] his brown eyes were [C] waiting,
And I [G] thought [Am] about a [C] pair of brown [G] eyes
That [C] waited once for [Am] me.
Cool and Uke 2013
So [G] drunk to hell I left the place
Sometimes [Am] crawling sometimes [C] walking,
A [G] hungry sound came across the breeze
So I [C] gave the walls a [Am] talking.
And I [G] heard the sound of long ago [Am] from the old [C] canal,
And the [G] birds were [Am] whistling [C] in the [G] trees,
Where [C] the wind was gently [Am] laughing.
And [G] a rovin’ a [Am] rovin’ a[C] rovin’ I'll [G] go x3
For a [C] pair of brown [Am] eyes,
For a [C] pair of [D] brown [G] eyes
[C] [C] [Am] [C] X2 And [G] a rovin’ a [Am] rovin’ a [C] rovin’ I'll [G] go x3
for a [C] pair of brown [Am] eyes,
For a [C] pair of [D] brown [G] eyes

The Banks of the Ohio (Trad/Cash/Irwin) [G] I asked my [G] love, to take a [D7] walk take a walk, just a little [G] ways,
And as we walked, along we [C] talked, talked a[G]bout [D7] our wedding [G] day.
And only [G] say, that you'll be [D7] mine, in our home we’ll happy [G] be
Down beside where the waters [C] flow,
down by the [G] banks [D7] of the Ohi[G]o.
I asked her [G] if she'd marry [D7] me, and my wife forever [G] be,
She only turned her head a[C]way, and had no [G] other [D7] words to [G] say.
I drew my [G] knife across her [D7] throat,
and to my breast she gently [G] pressed
Oh please, Oh please don't murder [C] me,
I'm unpre[G]pared [D7] to die you [G] see.
I took her [G] by her lily white [D7] hand, dragged her down to the rivers [G] edge
And there I plunged her into [C] drown,
Under[G]neath [D7] the Iron[G]bridge
And only [G] say, that you'll be [D7] mine, in no others arms ent[G]wine
Down beside where the waters [C] flow,
Down by the [G] banks [D7] of the Ohi[G]o.
And going [G] home between twelve and [D7] one,
thinking of the deed I’d [G] done,
I murdered the girl I love you [C] see
Because she [G] would [D7] not marry [G] me. (X2)

Billie Jean -‐ Michael Jackson [Em ] She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene I said don’t mind but
what do you mean ‘I am the [Am] one’ who will dance on the floor in the [Em] round
she said I am the [Am] one who will dance on the floor in the [Em] round
She told me her name was Billie Jean as she caused a scene
Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the [Am] one
who will dance on the floor in the [Em] round
[C] People always told me be [Em] careful what you do.
And don’t [C] go around breaking young girls' [Em] hearts
And [C] mother always told me be [Em] careful who you love,
And be [C] careful what you do `cause the [B] lie becomes the truth, hey
[Em] Billie Jean is not my lover she's just a girl who claims that I am the [Am] one
But the kid is not my [Em] son, she says I am the [Am] one,
but the kid is not my [Em] son
For forty days and forty nights, law was on her side,
but who can stand when she’s in demand
Her schemes and [Am] plans, `cause we danced on the floor in the [Em] round
So take my strong ad[Am]vice: Just remember to always think [Em] twice
She told my baby we danced till three and she looked at me,
Then showed a photo, my baby cried, his eyes were like [Am] mine
shall we dance on the floor in the [Em] round

Death Is Not The End - Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
[A] When you're sad and when you're lonely and you haven't got a friend
Just re[E7]member that death is not the [A] end
And all that you held sacred falls down and does not bend
Just re[E7]member that death is not the [A] end
Not the end, not the end, Just re[E7]member that death is not the [A] end
When you're standing on the crossroads that you cannot comprehend
Just re[E7]member that death is not the [A] end
And all your dreams have vanished and you don't know what's up the bend
Just re[E7]member that death is not the [A] end
Not the end, not the end, Just re[E7]member that death is not the [A] end
When the storm clouds gather round you and heavy rains descend
Just re[E7]member that death is not the [A] end
And there's no one there to comfort you with a helping hand to lend
Just re[E7]member that death is not the [A] end
Not the end, not the end, Just re[E7]member that death is not the [A] end
Oh the [D] tree of life is growing where the [A] spirit never dies
And the [D] bright light of salvation shines in [A] dark and empty [E7] skies [E7]
When the [A] cities are on fire with the burning flesh of men
Just re[E7]member that death is not the [A] end
And you search in vain to find just one law abiding citizen
Just re[E7]member that death is not the [A] end
Not the end, not the end, Just re[E7]member that death is not the [A] end
Not the end, not the end, Just re[E7]member that death is not the [A] end

I Will Survive – Gloria Gaynor [E7] At [Am] first I was afraid, I was [Dm] petrified,
Kept [G] thinking I could never live with[Cmaj7]out you by my side.
But then I [F] spent so many nights, thinking [Bm7] how you did me wrong,
And I grew [Esus4] strong; and I learned [E7] how to get along.
So now you're [Am] back, from outer [Dm] space,
I just [G] walked in, to find you here, with that [Cmaj7] sad look upon your face.
I should have [F] changed that stupid lock
I should have [Bm7] made you leave your key
If I had [Esus4] known for just one second, you'd be [E7] back to bother me.
Go on now [Am] go; walk out the [Dm] door
Just [G] turn a-round now, 'cos you are not [Cmaj7] welcome any more.
[F] Weren't you the one who tried to [Bm7] hurt me with goodbye?
Did you think I'd [Esus4] crumble; did you think I'd [E7] lay down and die?
Oh no, not [Am] I; I will sur[Dm]vive,
Oh, as [G] long as I know how to love, I [Cmaj7] know I'll stay alive.
I've got [F] all my life to live, and I've got [Bm7] all my love to give,
And I'll sur[Esus4]vive, I will sur[E7]vive, hey hey hey
[Am] [Dm] [G] [Cmaj7] [F] [Bm7] [Esus4] [E7]
adGQFi<L
Only the [Am] Lord could give me strength not to [Dm] fall apart,
Though I [G] tried hard to mend the pieces [Cmaj7] of my broken heart.
And I spent [F] oh, so many nights, just feeling [Bm7] sorry for myself,
I used to [Esus4] cry, but now I hold [E7] my head up high.
And you see [Am] me; somebody [Dm] new,
I'm not that [G] chained up little person, [Cmaj7] still in love with you.
And so you [F] felt like dropping in and just ex[Bm7]pect me to be free,
Well, now I'm [Esus4] saving all my loving, for some [E7] one who's loving me.
Go on now [Am] go; walk out the [Dm] door
Just [G] turn a-round now, 'cos you are not [Cmaj7] welcome any more.
[F] Weren't you the one who tried to [Bm7] hurt me with goodbye?
Did you think I'd [Esus4] crumble; did you think I'd [E7] lay down and die?
Oh no, not [Am] I; I will sur[Dm]vive,
Oh, as [G] long as I know how to love, I [Cmaj7] know I'll stay alive.
I've got [F] all my life to live, and I've got [Bm7] all my love to give,
And I'll sur[Esus4]vive, I will sur[E7]vive, hey hey hey
[Am] [Dm] [G] [Cmaj7] [F] [Bm7] [Esus4] [E7]
Go on now [Am] go; walk out the [Dm] door

My Way – Frank Sinatra And [D] now, the end is [F#m] near and so I [Am6] face the final [B7] curtain
My [Em] friend, I'll say it [G] clear. I'll state my [F#m6] case, of [A7] which I'm [D] certain
I've [D] lived a life that's [Am6] full, I travelled [G] each and ev'ry [Gm] highway
And [D] more, much more than [A] this, I did it [Dsus2] my [D] way
Regrets, I've had a [F#m] few but then [Am6] again, too few to [B7] mention
I [Em] did what I had to [G] do and saw it [F#m6] through [A7] without [D] exemption
I planned each charted [Am6] course, each careful [G] step along the [Gm] byway
And [D] more, much more than [A] this, I did it [Dsus2] my [D] way
Yes, there were [D] times, I'm sure you [Am6] knew
When I bit [G] off [Gsus4] more than I could [G] chew
But through it [Em] all, when there was [A7] doubt I ate it [F#m] up and spit it [Bm7] out
I faced it [Em] all and I stood [A] tall and did it [Dsus2] my [D] way
I've loved, I've laughed and [F#m] cried, I've had my [Am6] fill, my share of [B7] losing
And [Em] now, as tears sub-[G]side, I find it [F#m6] all [A7] so am-[D]using
To think I did all [Am6] that and may I [G] say, not in a shy [Gm] way,
"Oh, no, [D] oh, no, not [A] me, I did it [Dsus2] my [D] way"
