Let The River Run
Tom: A
A                D
Let the river run,
            A
let all the dreamers
        F#m     E
wake the nation.
D               F#     E     A
Come, the New Jerusalem.
A                D
Silver cities rise,
            A
the morning lights
                F#m     E
the streets that meet them,
D                       F#   
and sirens call them on
E       A
with a song.
F#m             B
It's asking for the taking.
A       
Trembling, shaking.
F#m             G
Oh, my heart is aching.
E 
We're coming to the edge,
E/D
running on the water,
E/C#
coming through the fog,
E/B
your sons and daughters.
C               F
We the great and small
C
stand on a star
        Am      G      F
and blaze a trail of desire
        Am      G      F
through the dark'ning dawn.
        Am              D
It's asking for the taking.
C
Come run with me now,
C
the sky is the color of blue
you've never even seen
in the eyes of your...
Am              Bb
Oh, my heart is aching.
G       
We're coming to the edge,
G7
running on the water,
G6
coming through the fog,
G/D
your sons and daughters.
[guitar]
Am              D
It's asking for the taking.
C
Trembling, shaking.
A               Bb
Oh, my heart is aching.
G                       G7
We're coming to the edge,
G6
running on the water,
G5
coming through the fog,
your sons and daughters.
C               F
Let the river run,
G
let all the dreamers 
Am      G
wake the nation.
F               C
Come, the New Jerusalem.
Hush Little Baby 
Tom: C
 
C                  G7
Hush, little baby, don't say a word.
                       C
Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird
C                  G7
And if that mockingbird won't sing,
                       C
Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring
C                   G7
And if that diamond ring turns brass,
                       C
Papa's gonna buy you a looking glass
C                   G7
And if that looking glass gets broke,
                       C
Papa's gonna buy you a billy goat
C                 G7
And if that billy goat won't pull,
                       C
Papa's gonna buy you a cart and bull
C                    G7
And if that cart and bull fall down,
                                    C
You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town
In The Still Of The Night
Tom: F#
Intro: F#  G#  G  F#
                     B7
In the still of the night
 F#                B7
As I gaze from my window
 G#m                E
At the moon in its flight
                  F#    A      D7M  C#7
My thoughts all stray       to you
 F#                  B7
In the still of the night
 F#                   B7     F
While the world is in slum...ber
 Bbm                   Cm     F
Oh, the times without number darling
        Bbm   Am6    G#m    C#
When I say    to     you
 F#  F##5      B     G#m     C#    F#       G#m   C#
Do        you love me,   as   I   love you?
 F#       F##5    B
Are       you my life to be
 G#m7   C#         C#m
My    dream come true?
 Eb7          G#m
Or will this dream of mine
 Bm          F#
Fade out of sight
          Aº           G#m
Like the moon growing dim
        F#         Aº
On the rim of the hill
        G#m    C#          F#
In the chill, still of the night
(solo) 
 
The right thing to do
Tom: C
        C                     F7M    
There\'s nothin\' you can do to turn me away
 Dm7       G       Am 
Nothin\' anyone can say
       F#m     B          Em  
You\'re with me now and as long as you stay
 A7                             D 
Lovin\' you\'s the right thing to do
 Dm7             F     G 
Lovin\' you\'s the right thing
   C                                 F7M 
I know you\'ve had some bad luck with ladies before
     Dm7              G          Am 
They drove you or you drove them crazy
            F#m          B              Em
But more important is I know you\'re the one and I\'m sure
 A7                             D
Lovin\' you\'s the right thing to do
 Dm7             F      G
Lovin\' you\'s the right thing
       Dm7              C7M 
And it used to be for a while
          Am                Gm     C
That the river flowed right to my door
 Dm                          C7M
Making me just a little too free
             Am                    Gm        C    F
But now the river doesn\'t seem to stop here any...more
 C                           F7M
Hold me in your hands like a bunch of flowers
 Dm7          G        Am
Set me movin\' to your sweetest song
       F#m         B          Em
And I know what I think I\'ve known all along
 A7                             D 
Lovin\' you\'s the right thing to do
 Dm7             F      G
Lovin\' you\'s the right thing
                                C
Lovin\' you\'s the right thing to do
 F                    C   
Is the right thing to do
 F                               C
Nothing you could ever do would turn me away from you
   F                  C  ...
I love you now and I love you now
Even though you\'re ten thousand miles away
I\'ll love you tomorrow as I love you today
I\'m in love babe

Tom: D
D                     Bm7
River runs to the sea

Salmon runs to the sea

If you need someone

You can run to me
D                    Bm7
Flowers grow to the sun

If you've lost the warmth
         D
I will give you some
G    F#7       Bmaj7     E7 
Lay back on a starry night
C        D           A           G    
Feel as big and as small as you are
D                      Bm7  E
Well I see who you are

Boys In The Trees 
Tom: Em
Em                   G
I'm home again in my old narrow bed
Em                        G
Where I grew tall and my feet hung over the end
F#m7                         Bm            G
The low beam room with the window looking out
         G            Cmaj7
On the soft summer garden
           F#m7              Bm
Where the boys grew in the trees
Em             G
Here I grew guilty
Em               G
And no one was at fault
Em                  
Frightened by the power
G
In every innocent thought
F#m7                     Bm            G
And the silent understanding passing down
 G            Cmaj7
From daughter to daughter
F#m7              Bm
Let the boys grow in the trees
Em            G
Do you go to them
Em            G
Or do you let them come to you
Em            
Do you stand in back
G
Afraid that you'll intrude
F#m7                     Bm            G
Deny yourself and hope someone will see
  G            Cmaj7
And live like a flower
F#m7              Bm
While the boys grow in the trees
Em                      G
Last night I slept in sheets the color of fire
Em                    
Tonight I lie alone again
        G
And I curse my own desires
F#m7                     Bm            G
Sentenced first to burn and then to freeze
 G            Cmaj7
And watch by the window
F#m7              Bm
Where the boys grew in the trees
F#m7              Bm    Gmaj9  Em
Boys in the trees
 
Darkness Till Dawn 
Tom: A
A      
Chain smoking cigarettes
G
Enemies across the table
Em7                             F#m7  Bm
Wonderin' if I can ever trust anyone again
A
We argue through the night
        G
The restaurant shuts, you catch your flight
Em7                               F#m7  Bm
I hail a cab with no idea where home might be
A                         G
We both believed my chance was gone
      F                   Dm7
But ain't it strange how life goes on
     C                D
A storm can never rage forever
        G      G7             C
And darkness only lasts 'til dawn
A
Hotel blinds stay drawn
G
Nothing seems to make me care
Em7                         F#m7  Bm
I can't find a reason to comb my hair
A
Folks walkin' in the street
                 G
Everyone has something to do
Em7                                     F#m7  Bm
My brain won't stop showin' those old movies of you
A                         G
We both believed my chance was gone
      F                   Dm7
But ain't it strange how life goes on
     C                D
A storm can never rage forever
        G      G7             C
And darkness only lasts 'til dawn
A
Weeks pass
           G
And your voice sounds strange on the telephone
Em7                                  F#m7  Bm
Strange how smooth and casual my own voice sounds
A
I find that I'm listening to
    G
A tune coming over my radio
Em7                                 F#m7  Bm
It makes me think of a guy I knew a while ago
F#m7  Bm      F#m7  Bm    F#m7  Bm 
A while ago, a while ago,a while ago
 
C                D
A storm can never rage forever
        G      G7             C
And darkness only lasts 'til dawn
D  C   D  C  D 
Oh, oh,oh,oh,oh........
Dishonest Modesty 
Tom: C
      C7
You come on strong telling everyone
About your latest role
          F7
How you saved the movie, stole the show
So you've been told
             C7
And if you have no time for all your offers
You'll see that I get called
            F7
And if you have no time for all your men
You'll see that I get balled
         G7
Well I don't expect humility
     F7
But what about some good old 
            C7
Dishonest modesty
     C7
You say that you can understudy
All the other parts
               F7
That you can write a song that will make us cry
And touches all our hearts
     C7
And you can House and Garden
Vogue and Glamour, Mademoiselle
       F7
Well, I know you can Bitch and Screw
And Penthouse just as well
         G7
No I don't expect humility
     F7
But what about some good old 
            C7
Dishonest modesty
C7
You try to be unique
But somehow something's wrong
        F7
Your flower childish vision of life
Cannot last too long
       C7
You're over thirty and underweight
Though you call yourself petite
F7
And you hang around with all the clowns
Who think they're so elite
         G7
Well I don't expect humility
     F7
But what about some good old 
            C7
Dishonest modesty
         G7
No I don't expect humility
     F7
But what about some good old 
            C7
Dishonest modesty

Remember you as Mars

Amaj7                            Dmaj7
Strange to see the grey in your hair
             Gm7          C        F
And now feel a peace so deep between us
Am        Dm7                 G7
And to realize that we still care

But just for old time's sake
    F                          Cm7
I used to think that we would wind up together
        Amaj7           Dmaj7
Our destinies always entwined
             Gm7                           C
Oh but your heart kept changing like the weather
Am7           Dm7            G7
And you would up leaving me behind
A      D                  G         Gmaj7                             
Ohhh Let's make love for old times sake
Em         A7     Em7   A7
Let's set right an old mistake
D                  G      Gmaj7
Let's invite our hearts to break

Softly spoken like clouds above
D      G
Drift away
Bb            F
What shall I say?
    Gm7                    C
To let you know the way I feel
Gm7                                 C
Should I cry out loud that love is real?
A7    Dm    D   
Or simply reveal
Bbmaj7       Gm7
Forever my love
F           G        Am7
Time alone will tell us

May grow bitter and jealous

Faded and gray
Bb            F
What shall I say?
Gm7                       C
It's not another lovers game
      Gm7                   C
It doesn't seem to have a name
A7   Dm                     D
It changes and remains the same

Yesterday's projection will never really know

But tomorrow's recollection will surely show

Ain't no other way

Day after day
Bb            F
What shall I say?
       Gm7               C
That isn't in the way I act
          Gm7               C
That'll carry through the years intact
A7             Dm                D
I'm lookin' forward to lookin' back

Havent Got Time For The Pain 
Tom: Bm
Bm7         D/A  
All those crazy nights
         Gmaj9          C
When I cried myself to sleep
Gmaj9                                G7
Now melodrama never makes me weep anymore
           Am7                     D
'Cause I haven't got time for the pain
   Am7                     D
I haven't got room for the pain
    F         Am7           D
I haven't the need for the pain
G                     G7
Not since I've known you
C              D
You showed me how

How to leave myself behind
Am7                        D      G    
How to turn down the noise in my mind
G7    Am7                        D
Now I haven't got time for the pain
    Am7                      D
I haven't got room for the pain
    F           Am7          D
I haven't the need for the pain
G                     G7
Not since I've known you
Bm7         D/A  
Suffering was the only thing
         Gmaj9          C
That made me feel I was alive
Gmaj9                   
Thought that's just how much
CaddD         G              G7
It cost to survive in this world
C                   C
'Til you showed me how

How to fill my heart with love

How to open up and drink in all that white light

Pouring down from the heaven

Haven't got time for the pain

In Times When My Head 
Tom: F
F                 C
In times in my head
F                   C
Was together about you
Am         G       Dm7  Bb
I was an expert at silence
F                              C
I enjoyed the blondes in their red jeeps
F                 C
Stopping you on the street
Am                     G      
Knowing none could compare with me
Em7                    A7  
In my airy skirts and cool retreats
Dm7
In times when my head
Cmaj9
Was together about you
Dm7                  Eb C   
I was an expert at silence
Gm7   C
Oh oh oh
F                 C
You could have told the truth all the time
F                   C
I was that at ease inside
Am         G       
You never made me cry
Dm7             Bb
Then one night I lied
F                              C
I got down with a boy in the backwoods
F                 C
I didn't tell you and you didn't see
Am                G  
That's when jealousy
Em7               A7  
Got the dog up in me
Dm7
In times when my head
Cmaj9
Was together about you
Dm7                  Eb C   
I was an expert at silence
Gm7   C
Oh oh oh
F                 C
Now every look you get
F                 C
Seems like another threat
Am             G       
I pick your pockets almost hoping to find
Dm7       
Something to hurt about
               Bb
To prove you unkind
F                           C
Oh, but I still love you, baby
F                 C
Though now I just can't sit still
Am                     G   
And though that boy meant nothing to me
Em7                    A7  
I believe I've lost that simple thrill of the
Dm7
Times when my head
Cmaj9
Was together about you
Dm7                  Eb C   
I was an expert at silence
Gm7   C  Gm7   C  Gm7   C
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

 

It Was So Easy
Tom: C
      C
I remember a time
  F
Rompin' through the woods
G                                  C
Sun against our skin instead of clothes
When we felt hungry we would eat
          F
When we felt glad we would dance
         G                            C
And whenever we felt drowsy we would doze
            F
It was so easy then
        Bb
Never takin' any stands
            F
It was so easy then
          G
Holdin' hands
    
      C        
I remember a time
           F
When our fears could be named
       G                         C
And courage meant not refusing dares
                                             F
I remember when we took such cares to step never on the cracks
No only on the squares
     G
Or else we'd be abducted by the bears
           F
It was so easy then
        Bb
Never makin' any plans
           F
It was so easy then
          G
Holdin' hands
           F
It was so easy then
        Bb
Never makin' any plans
           F
It was so easy then
          G
Holdin' hands
     C
And now we are grown
       F
With debts and regrets
      G
And broken hearts
                   C
And sentimental schemes
Now every tender failure
               F
Seems to overthrow old dreams
           G                        C
Love can drive a normal woman to extremes
           F
It was so easy then
        Bb
Never takin' any stands
            F
It was so easy then
          G
Holdin' hands
 
It was so easy then
          C     G    C
Holdin' hands

 

Just A Sinner 
Tom: F
F      C             Eb          Bb
Today I was gonna conquer the world
Eb          Bb          Eb    F
Go on ahead and make a stand
      C              Eb      Bb
Today I saw an old friend a dyin'
        Eb          Bb      Eb         F
And as he lay there no one lent a hand
           Am
I'm gonna call you up
Dm7                        F
You'll forsake the one you love
Dm7                     Am        C7sus
Though I've left you many times before 
                 F
You are just a sinner
Csus                   C
I was the one who understands
F7sus                 F
You were my one and only man
Am     C         Dm       Bb
I was lost, now I'm the winner
                                 C
You stand there waitin' by the shore
Fsus          F 
But I don't come that way no more
Am        C         Am     Bb
Because you are just a sinner
F      C             Eb          Bb
Today I was gonna hold out my hand
Eb          Bb          Eb    F
Reach up for that light and let it shine
      C              Eb      Bb
Today I have no light to guide me
        Eb          Bb      Eb         F
Feelin' like the one they left behind
        Am
So I called you up
Dm7                        F
You left your love and took me away
Dm7                     Am        C7sus
Though I've left you many times before
                 F
You are just a sinner.
Csus                   C
I am the only one, you see
F7sus                 F
You were the only one for me
Am     C         Dm       Bb
I was lost, now I'm the winner
                                 C
You'll keep the candle burning bright
Fsus          F 
But I won't be home tonight
Am        C         Am     Bb
Because you are just a sinner
F      C             Eb          Bb
Today I was gonna conquer the world
Eb          Bb          Eb    F
Go on ahead and make a stand
      C              Eb      Bb
Today I saw an old friend a dyin'

Tom: B
B            E     B         E

B            E         A7 D
And I will give you a reason
G     D        G      D
I'll rub them on my body
     G     Em7           A7      D
And smell just like the West Indies
B              E  B              E B
And when I'm feelin' like the islands
          E         A7      D     G
And I'm giving you all my sighs
   D        G       D
I beg you when you love me

Look me in the eyes

It's your heat that makes me warm

Makes me climb on you like a tree
G     D        G      D
And I don't need no fancy dancing
G     Em7     A7   D
When you bend over me
G     Em7     A7   D
Hmmm hmmm bend over me
B            E  B          E B
We'll be like two lazy sunbathers
         E            A7      D     G
Swaying palm trees against the sky
   D        G       D
But I beg you when you love me
F#m7     Em7     D
Look me in the eyes
Love Out In The Street
Tom: D
D                
I've seen the sidewalks
         D/C
And I've been aware
           F#m7    
Of all the lamps and tables
            B7
And the paperback books
              Em7            A7
That you've thrown out there
             D
All your artifacts
       D/C
In disrepair
              Am7
Make up a pile so high
           C                     Fmaj7
Could tie up the traffic in the thoroughfare
           G                 Dm7
Put your love out in the street
           G                 Dm7
Put your love out in the street

Put your love
E7                       A7
Out in the street tonight
D
I don't mind your sinning
         D/C
I'm no saint myself
               F#m7                B7
And if the neighbors call you a hellcat
                        Em7     A7
Then let them call me Jezebel
             D
Cause I've come to know you
              D/C
I've come to know you so well
         Am7                  C
From spying on you from my bathroom window
          Fmaj7
In this cheap hotel
           G                 Dm7
Put your love out in the street

Put your love
C7         F#m   B7
Put your love
E7                       A7
Out in the street tonight
D
So let flow the hydrants
            D/C
And we'll dance in the spray
          Am7                  C
And we'll wash out all our dirty laundry
        Fmaj7
In the alleyway
           G                 Dm7
Put your love out in the street
           G                 Dm7

Night Owl
Tom: F
        F
Now a fish kinda likes the water
And that's just where he wants to be          
And a monkey kinda digs bananas
So he lives in the top of a tree
             G
But my eyes are made for darkness
          Eb      
So the nightime is right for me
       F
'Cause I'm a night owl honey, sleep all day long
I'm a night owl honey, sleep all day long
       F
Most folks they like the daytime
'Cause they like to see the shining sun
They're up in the mornin'
Off and a runnin' till they're too tired for havin' fun
           G
But when the sun goes down and the bright lights shine
            Eb
My daytime has just begun
        F
'Cause I'm a night owl honey, sleep all day long
I'm a nightowl honey, sleep all day long
Eb C
            Dm                        F  G
Won't you turn out them bright lights baby
          Dm                          F G
They're just about to drive me blind
               Dm                     F  G
Oh won't you draw then curtains for me papa
Ab                 A      Bb         Bdim   C  F
Watch and you'll see my love light shine
               G
Now there are two sides to this great big world
And one of them is always night
If you can take care of business in the sunshine baby
I guess you're gonna be alright
      A
But don't come looking for me to lend you a hand
                               Eb
My eyes just can't stand the light
               G
'Cause I'm a night owl honey, sleep all day long
'Cause I'm a night owl honey, sleep all day long

 

Our First Day Together 
Tom: D
      D
Our first day together
Am7                   C
Was after we'd been close in dreams
                                     Em7
Was after we'd shared hell and heaven
     A7       D       Dm     D 
And all the places inbetween
Em7     A7        Em7 
Um........ Um.........
A7                 D            
And all the places inbetween
D
After we'd spent nights together
C
And breathed secrets without words
D
After we'd made promises
Em7    A7                           D             
That could but might not have been heard
Em7     A7        Em7
Um.......... Um............
A7sus                 D
Might not have been heard
Eb                      Dmaj7
Knowing me the way you do
      G                D   G   Gmaj      G7           Am7
Then why did you just say that our first day together
      D     D6   Dmaj7
Was today?

 

Playing Possum 
Tom: D
D                  E7
We lived up in Cambridge
      Amaj7          F#m7         G
And browsed in the hippest newsstands
           D                   G
Then we started our own newspaper
           C                   Bm7
Gave the truth about Uncle Sam
A    D                E7
We loved to be so radical
             Amaj7         G
But like a ragged love affair
       D             G
Some became disenchanted
      C                    D
And some of us just got scared
                       A
Now are you playing possum
Keeping a low profile
           D                   A
Are you playing possum for a while
D                  E7
Then you moved to the country
        Amaj7     F#m7         G
Bought a farm and tilled the land
           D                   G
Then you took your books to India
           C                   
And got hooked on a holy man
D                         E7
But the wells they do run dry
           Amaj7  F#m7     G
And the speeches turn to words
         D                  G
And the woods are full of tigers
       C                 D
And freedom's for the birds
                      A
Now are you playing possum
Keeping a low profile
           D                   A
Are you playing possum for a while
D                 E7
Now you run a bookstore
           Amaj7 F#m7  G     
And you've taken on a wife
            D              G
You wear patches on your elbows
          C    
And you live an easy life
A    D                E7
Well, are you finally satisfied
                Amaj7         G
Is it what you were lookin' for
D             G
Or does it sneak up on you
 C                    D
That there might be something more
                      A
Now are you playing possum
Keeping a low profile
           D                   A
Are you playing possum for a while
           D                   A
Are you just playing possum for a while
           D                   A
Are you just playing possum for a while

 

Reunions

And I don't know if I'll see you again
Fdim
Next one at the old house
                  F
Snow is on the ground
                 Bb
Photographs and wine are passed around
C7                         
Someone toasts an absent friend
F
Another takes his seat
      Gm7                C
They gather round the dying fire
           F             Cm7
But the circle's not complete
        F                 Gm7
And I don't know if I'll see you again
Fdim
Last one by the highway
                          F
Wind blows through thin smiles              
Someone made a wrong turn
Bb
Missed a joke by miles
C7                         
Someone got their hair cut
F
A tear is in her eye
    Gm7            C
But no one even comments
F                 Dm
Except to say, except to say
Cm7
'Goodbye'
        F                 Gm7
And I don't know if I'll see you again

Sons Of Summer 
Tom: Em
Em
It makes me smile
    G                  C
To think of what we dreamed of
F
Where are those sons of summer now
With their wild-haired women in their
patchwork gowns
      C
Who could laugh the lights away
                     G       
Nights on the beach and bay
F
Am    
The course on farms
C 
And the course in the bar
  Em                  F
Sweet smokin' in the back of the car
Am                      C                      Em     F
Always the first time shines to last like a morning star
Em              F
Like a morning star
Em                           G                 C
It's been a while since the last time we were dancing
F 
Where are those sons of summer now
With their long-limbed ladies who all knew how
     C 
To chase the blues away
               G
I've got the blues today
F
Am                            C
Your ivy days and your clubhouse ways
Em                         F
Wine mug nights when the music played
Am                          C                  Em    F
Love that is real will not fade away like a morning star
           Em    F      
Like a morning star 
C 
F
Where are those sons of summer now
The winter has come
                            C
And you don't know how to turn your
Dreams into coal
                  G
Your books won't hold you
F
Am          
The woods get cold
        C
And I feel too old
Em                              F
I begin to questioning your schoolboy soul
Am                        C
Clever remarks that once won my heart
           Em
When the fire won't light
            F
Will they lose their spark
    C                                   F
And I can't help but get a little bit blue
C                                             F
Thinking about the precious nothing we once knew

The Best Thing 
Tom: D
D
I was his foreigner
     G
And he was mine
D
We ate on terraces
      G                      
And drank the cheapest wine
C    
And he believed in me
      G            G7
Down by the serpentine
F    Em  Dm C  G
How was I to know
             C
It was the best thing
         Bb           D    G  
To come along for a long time
D
I turned the page
                 G
And saw three children with smiles
D
I looked to see
               G             
What I could make of the youngest child
C                            G
And as she blew the candles out
           G7
She turned five
F    Em  Dm C  G
How was I to know
            C
It was the best thing
  Bb           D    G  
To come along for a long time
Em
What do the people at the end of the world do
       Bbm    Eb9
About time? What about time?
Abm Ab Abm  Ab 
Oh oh oh oh....
Em
What do the people at the end of the world do
       Bbm    Eb9
About time? What about time?
A                        D
Their secret sleeps with me
F    Em  Dm C  G
How was I to know
            C
It was the best thing
  Bb           D    G  
To come along for a long time
F    Em  Dm C  G
How was I to know
            C
It was the best thing
  Bb           D    G  
To come along for a long time
Think Im Gonna Have A Baby 
Tom: Am
Am7                G
Platform shoes on table tops
    C                   G
I think I'm gonna be a lady
Am7                G
Opinions flyin' right and left
    C                   G
I think I'm gonna tell them maybe
D                                 C
They're puttin' out too many phonograph records
    Am7                           D
I think I'm gonna have a baby, a baby
   Am7                 G
I wouldn't be naughty for the sake of naught
C                         G
Or be different just to differ
Am7                                  G
I wouldn't sell myself just to get bought
C                  G
Or give just to deliver
          D                       C
They're puttin' out too many phonograph records
    Am7                  D     C    G
I think I want to be a river, be a river...
G7                                            C       
Rivers do such nice things, they roll to the sea
      G7                                      C
When I am a river then I'll want to listen to me
Dm7    C
La la la...
D                                 C
They're puttin' out too many phonograph records
Am7                      D
I think I want to be a river
G        Am7                G
So you pick me up, and you tune me up
          C             G
And you wind me up and play me
Am7            
You talk about heart
             G        
And you say you know soul
         C              G
And the way to treat a lady
D                                 C
They're puttin' out too many phonograph records
    Am7                           D
I think I'm gonna have a baby, a baby
G7                                            C  
Babys do such nice things, they rock on your knee
      G7                                      C
When I was a baby my rockin' was something to see
Dm7  C
La la la....

 

Three Days 
Tom: A
A                         A7
If I have known you only three days
      D                E         F#m
Then how will I remember you in ten?
D                  E             A7
But I could swear I'll love you always
D                      C#m       
And if the Gods will please be kind
F#m        E                D
Darling, I'll be with you soon
       A
Soon again
A                               A7
And on the road you have some good times
     D                E           F#m   D
But when the show is over you go home
          E             A7
And it hurts me so to leave you behind
     D             C#m   F#m 
And Lord I feel lonesome
          F              D 
Lonesome for the you I might have known
             A
might have known
A                         A7
You'll be in L.A. in the morning
D       E              F#m        
And I'll be in London by sundown
      D
But when I sing
     E                   A7
My song is filled with longing
          D                  E
And the memory of your last look
    F#m                   E
The way you took me by suprise
         D                            A
And the way you turned my head around
         D                            A
And the way you turned my head around
Bm7   Amaj7  Gm7   A
Oooooooo  Oooooooooooo
