Is It Love? Tom: D Intro: D D/B G Em Em/G Em/B A7 D
D D/B G Em
Verse 1: I know how it feels to be head over heels,
Em Em/B A7 D
To be lost in true love and the light of the moon.
D D/B G Em
When everything seems to be coming up roses;
Em Em/B A D
Every word seems to be rhyming with June.
Em A7 D
Suddenly all of your dreams have come true;
Em A7 D
Happiness lives in your heart.
Em A7 D
Then out of nowhere, one becomes two;
Em C A
Everything seems to be falling apart.
D D/B G A
Chorus 1: (Is it love) when your heart feels like it's broken,
D D/B G A
(Is it love) and you just can't take any more?
D D/B G A
(Is it love) when there's nothing left to be spoken,
D D/B G A
(Is it love) and there's nothing worth listening for?
D D/B G A (D D/B G A) (2nd time: D D
Dsus2 D, to Bridge)
(Is it love?) Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh ooh-ooh
D D/B G Em
Verse 2: I know what it means to get caught up in dreams
Em Em/B A D
And in prayers that are answered with each passing day.
D D/B G Em
When loving and laughter are birds of a feather,
Em Em/B A D
And sharing and caring just one simple way.
Em A7 D
You know you'll never be all alone;
Em A7 D
Someone will always be near.
Em A7 D
Then you turn around and your best friend is gone;
Em C A
Oh, where do they go when they just disappear?
(Repeat Chorus 1)
Em A D
Bridge: There's no answer; there seems to be nothing to say.
Em A D
In your anger, would you even hear anyway?
Em A D
It was magic, and somehow you've broken the spell.
Em Em7 A
It was heaven, but somehow it's turned into hell.
D D/B G A
Chorus 2: (Is it love) when you know that your heart has been broken?
D D/B G A
(Is it love) and you just can't take it anymore?
D D/B G A
(Is it love) when you feel more than you could imagine,
D D/B G A
(Is it love) now there's nothing that's worth living for?
D D/B G A D D/B G A D
(Is it love) woo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh; is it love?

Sometimes I’m almost there
F G C Cmaj9
Sometimes I fly like an eagle and

Love Again Tom: G Intro: G Bm C D
I.
G D Am
I didn't think it could happen again
D Am G
I'm just too old and set in my ways
G D Am D
I was convinced I would always be lonely
Am D G
All of the rest of my days
Em Bm
Maybe I gave up on romance
Am D
In my longing to give up the pain
G D
I just didn't believe
Am D G Bm C D G
I would ever love again
II. I was like one who had shut myself in Closed the windows locked all the doors Afraid of the dark and the beat of my heart And yet, knowing there had to be more
Though it sounds like a great contradiction It's the easiest thing to explain You see I was afraid I might never love again
III. What does it take for a blind man to see That there's more there than just meets the eye What are the ways that the magic comes in That can turn a song into a sigh
Sometimes I think that I'm dreaming Or maybe I'm going insane Or maybe it's just that I'm Falling in love again
VI. G D Am da, da, di, ... D Am G da, da, di, ... G D Am D da, da, di, ... Am D G da, da, di, ...
Em Bm Here I am standing beside you Am D Ah life's such a wonderful game G D Am D Look at me now I've fallen in love G D Am D Look at me now I've fallen in love G D Am D G Bm C D G Look at me now I've fallen in love again

Forest Lawn Tom: E Intro: E B7 E
E B7
Oh, lay me down in Forest Lawn in a silver casket,
B7 E
Put golden flowers over my head in a silver basket.
A E E/Eb C#
Let the drum and bugle corps blow taps while cannons roar,
F# B7
Let sixteen liv'ried employees pass out souvenirs from the funeral store.
E B7 E
I want to go simply, when I go,
G# C#m
And they'll give me a simple fun'ral there, I know,
A
With a casket lined in fleece,
E E/Eb C#
And fireworks spelling out "Rest In Peace."
F# B7 E B7
Oh, take me, when I'm gone, to Forest Lawn.
E B7
Oh, lay me down in Forest Lawn – they understand there,
B7 E
And they have a heavenly choir and a military band there.

With sixteen planes in a last salute, dropping a cross in a parachute.
E B7 E
I want to go simply, when I go,

With a hunderd strolling strings,

And topless dancers in golden wings,

Oh, take me, when I'm gone, to Forest Lawn ...
B
Oh, come, come, come, come,
F#
Come to the church in the wildwood,
F#7 B B7
Kindly leave a contribution in the pail.
E B
Be as simple and as trusting as a child would,
F# B
And we'll sell you the church in the dale.
E B7
To find a simple resting place is my desire,
B7 E
To lay me down with a smiling face comes a little bit higher.
A E E/Eb C#
My likeness, done in brass, will stand in plastic grass,
F# B7
And weights and hidden springs will tip its hat to the mourners filing past.
E B7 E
I want to go simply, when I go,
G# C#m
And they'll give me a simple fun'ral there, I know.
A
I'll sleep beneath the sand,
E E/Eb C#
With piped-in tapes of Billy Graham.
F# B7 E
Oh, take me, when I'm gone, to Forest Lawn.
E A E B7 E
Rock of Ages, cleft for me, for a slightly higher fee.
F# B7 E A E
Oh, take me, when I'm gone, to Forest Lawn.
A E (optional E7 for flourish)
Amen

Matthew Tom: G
G Am D G
I had an uncle name of Matthew...he was his father's only boy
Am D G
Born just south of Colby, Kansas...he was his mother's pride and joy
Chorus:
G C Am
Yes, and joy was just the thing he was raised on
D G C G
Love was just a way to live and die
C Am
Gold was just a windy Kansas wheat field
D C G
Blue was just a Kansas summer sky
Am D G
And all the stories that he told me back when I was just a lad
Am D G
All the memories that he gave me...all the good times that he had
Am D G
Growin' up a Kansas farmboy...life was mostly havin' fun
Am D G
Ridin' on his daddy's shoulders behind a mule, beneath the sun
**Chorus
Am D G
Well, I guess there were some hard times and I'm told some years were lean
Am D G
They had a storm in '47...twister came and stripped 'em clean
Am D G
He lost the farm and lost his family...he lost the wheat, he lost his home
Am D G
But he found the family bible and faith as solid as a stone
**Chorus
Am D G
So he came to live at our house...and he came to work the land
Am D G
He came to ease my daddy's burdens and he came to be my friend
Am D G
So I wrote this down for Matthew...it's for him this song is sung
Am D G
Ridin' on his daddy's shoulders behind a mule, beneath the sun
**Chorus 2x
Grandma's Feather Bed Tom: C
C F
When I was a little bitty boy,
C G7
Just up off the floor
C F
We used to go down to Grandma's house,
C G7 C
Every month end or so
C F
We had chicken pie and country ham,
C G7
And home made butter on the bread
C F
But the best darn thing about Grandma's house
C G7 C
Was her great big feather bed
Chorus:
C
It was nine feet tall and six feet wide,
F C
Soft as a downy chick
It was made from the feathers of forty-leven geese,
D7 G7
Took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick
C
It'd hold eight kids and four hound dogs
F C
And a piggy we stole from the shed
C7 F
We didn't get much sleep, but we had a lotta fun
G7 C
On Grandma's feather bed
C F
After supper we'd sit around the fire
C G7
The old folks'd spit and chew
C F
Pa would talk about the farm and war
C G7 C
And Granny'd sing a ballad or two
C F
I'd sit and listen and watch the fire
C G7
Till the cobwebs filled my head
C F
Next thing I'd know, I'd wake up in the mornin'
C G7 C
In the middle of the old feather bed
**Chorus
C F
Well, I love my Ma, I love my Pa
C G7
I love Granny and Grandpa too
C F
I been fishin' with my uncle, I rassled with my cousin
C G7 C
And I even kissed Aunt Lou - ooh!
C F
But if I ever had to make a choice
C G7
I guess it oughta be said
C F
That I'd trade 'em all plus the gal down the road
C G7 C
For Grandma's feather bed
**Chorus
I'm Sorry Tom: G
G A
It's cold here in the city it always seems that way
D7 G
And I've been thinking about you almost every day
A
Thinking about the good times thinking about the rain

Thinking about how bad it feels a-lone again
C D7 G
I'm sorry for the way things are in China,

And though the changing colors are a lovely sight to see,

if it were mine to make a change,

I's Rather be a Cowboy Tom: E

She called me right up when she arrived,

asked me one more time to come
but livin' on an L.A. freeway

ain't my kind of havin' fun
(Chorus)
A6 E
I think I'd rather be a cowboy

I think I'd rather ride the range

I think I'd rather be a cowboy

When we were just beginning,
A E
it was such an easy way
layin' back up in the mountains,
A E
singin' songs for sunny days (but she got)
tired of pickin' daisies

and cookin' my meals for me
She can live the life she wants to, yes, A E and it's all right with me (to chorus)

B A E
I'd rather live on the side of a mountain

I'd rather laugh with the rain and sunshine
E A F# B Bsus
and lay down my sundown in some starry field
(Verse 3)
E
Oh but I miss her in the morning
A E
when I awake alone
and the absence of her laughter

is a cold and empty sound
But her memory always makes me smile

and I want you to know
I love her, yes I love her

just enough to let her go (to chorus)
