Everybody Loves Me Baby Tom: A Intro: A D A- D-E e------------------------| B------------------------| G------------------------| D------------------------| A-0--2-4-5--4-2-0-4-5-7--| E------------------------|
A F#m D E Fortune has me well in hand, armies 'wait at my command Bm E D A D A-D-E My gold lies in a foreign land buried deep beneath the sand A F#m D E The angels guide my every tread, my enemies are sick or dead Bm E D A D A-D-E But all the victories I've led haven't brought you to my bed
CHORUS:
A F#m
You see, everybody loves me, baby,
D E
what's the matter with you
Bm E
Wont you tell me what did I do
A D A-D-E
to offend you?
Now the purest race I've bred for thee to live in my democracy And the highest human pedigree awaits the first-born boy baby And my face on every coin engraved, the anarchists are all enslaved My own flag is forever waved by the grateful people I have saved
CHORUS
Now, no land is beyond my claim when land is seized in the people's name By evil men who rob and maim, if war is hell, I'm not to blame! Why, you can't blame me, I'm Heaven's child, I'm the second son of Mary mild And I'm twice removed from Oscar Wilde, but he didn't mind, why, he just smiled
Yes, and the ocean parts when I walk through, and the clouds dissolve and the sky turns blue I'm held in very great value by everyone I meet but you 'cause I've used my talents as I could, I've done some bad, I've done some good I did a whole lot better than they thought I would so, c'mon and treat me like you should!
CHORUS X 3

AND PUT YOU WHERE THEY CHOOSE,
WITH THE LANGUAGE THAT THEY USE,
AND ENSLAVE YOU TILL YOU WORK YOUR YOUTH AWAY,
C Am C Am G
OH GOD HOW I WORKED MY YOUTH AWAY.

Winterwood Tom: G
G
1. No one can take your place with me,
D
and time has proven that I'm right,
G
there's no place I'd rather be, than at your place for the night.
G
2. No time can pass your sight unseen,
D
no moment steals away unfound,
G
a lifetime lived in such a dream, floats like a feather to the ground.
C B7 Em
And for the first time I've been seeing,
Am G ~ D
the things I'd never notice - without you.
C B7 Em
And for the first time I'm discovering,
C G ~ D - G ~
the things I used to treasure - about you.
G
3. The birds like leaves on Winterwood,
D
sing hopeful songs on dismal days,
they've learned to live life as they should,
G
they are at peace with Nature's ways.
G D 4. You are as natural as the night, and all that springs from you is good,
and the children born beneath your light,
G
are like the birds on Winterwood. + CHORUS
Crossroads Tom: Em
Em Am D
1. I've got nothing on my mind, nothing to remember
G D Em Am D
Nothing to forget, I've got nothing to regret.
G Em Am
But I'm all tied up on the inside,
C D G
no-one knows quite what I've got,
Em Am
And I know that on the outside,
C D G - C - G
what I used to be - I'm not - anymore.
G Am
2. You know I've heard about people like me,
C D G - C - G
but I never made the connection
Am
They walk one road to set them free,
C D
and find they've gone the wrong direction.
G Am
But there's no need for turning back,
C D G
'cause all roads lead to where I stand.
Em Am
And I believe I'll walk them all,
C D G
no matter what I may have planned.
Em Am D
3. Can you remember who I was, can you still feel it ?
G D Em - C D
Can you find my pain, can you heal it ?
G Am
Then lay your hands upon me now,
C D G
and cast this darkness from my soul.
Em Am
You alone can light my way,
C D G - C - G
you alone can make me whole, once again.
G Am
4. We've walked both sides of ev'ry street
C D G - C -G
through all kinds of windy weather.
G Am
But that was never our defeat,
C D
as long as we could walk together.
G Am
So there's no need for turning back,
C D G
'cause all roads lead to where we stand.
Em Am
And I believe we'll walk them all,
C D Em - C - G - C - G
no matter what we may have planned.
Castles in the air Tom: D
D
1. And if she asks you why, you can tell her that I told you
Em A D
that I'm tired of castles in the air,
Em A D
I've got a dream, I want the world to share,
Em A D
and castle walls just lead me to despair.
D
2. Hills of forest green where the mountains touch the sky,
Em A D
a dream come true, I'll live there till I die,
Em A D
I'm asking you, to say my last goodbye,
Em A D ~
the love we knew ain't worth another try.
Em A D
Save me from all the trouble and the pain,
G Em G A - G - A
I know I'm weak but I can't face that girl again.
Em A D
Tell her the reasons why I can't remain,
G Em G A - G - A
perhaps she'll understand, if you tell it to her plain.
D
3. But how can words express the feel of sunlight in the morning,
Em A D
in the hills, away from city strife,
Em A D
I need a country woman for my wife,
Em A D
I'm city born, but I love the country life.
D
4. For I will not be part of her cocktail generation,
Em A D
partners waltz devoid of all romance.
Em A D
The music plays and everyone must dance,
Em A D ~
I'm bowling out, I need a second chance. + CHORUS

C Am C Am
2. Well, I like the way you're moving, and I like the way you go,
F C
and I like the way you let your locomotion show.
G F
'Cause my drivin' wheel is drivin',
G F
and my pistons 're working good.
G F
And if your motor gives you some trouble, baby,
C G
I'll take a look underneath your hood. Yeah, I will! + CHORUS
F
Well, and I know you like your transportation
C
with a motor and a rubber wheel,
D
but when you move, you cause a transformation
G G7
in this lover and the way I feel.
C Am C Am
3. If you wanna make me happy, here is all you gotta do,
F C
just let me ride your buxom car, and I'll hold on with you.
G F
'Cause all I got is on my shoulder,
G F
I'm walking on my travelling shoes,
G F
and before I get much older,
C - G
I'm gonna kick these lovesick blues. + CHORUS (2x). ....
Dreidel Tom: E
E I feel like a spinnin' top or a dreidel ,
the spinnin' don't stop when you leave the cradle,
you just slow down.
'Round and around this world you go,
spinnin' through the lives of the people you know,
we all slow down. A G E How you gonna keep on turnin' from day to day? A G B7 How you gonna keep from turnin' your life away?
C G C Am
No days you can borrow, no time you can buy,
C G B7
no trust in tomorrow, it's a lie ! + CHORUS
B7
And I feel like I'm a dippin' and a divin' ,
my sky shoes are spiked with lead heels.
I'm lost in this star car I'm a drivin',
But my air soul keeps pushin' big wheels.
C Am C Bm
My world is a constant confusion, my mind is prepared to attack,
C D G Bm Am
My past, a persuasive illusion, I'm watchin' the future, it's black.
- - - - - Am Am - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
What do you know? You know just what you perceive !
- - - - - - - Am Am - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
What can you show? Nothing of what you believe !
- - - - Am Am - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
And as you grow, each thread of life that you leave,
- E A E A
will spin around your deeds and dictate your needs,
E A E A
as you sell your soul and you sow your seeds,
E A E A
and you wound yourself and your loved one bleeds ,
E A E A
and your habits grow and your conscience feeds,
E A E - A
an all that you thought you should be,
E A E-A-E-A
I never thought this could happen to m.............e.
A
I feel like a spinnin' top or a dreidel ,
the spinnin' don't stop when you leave the cradle, you just slow down.
'Round and around this world you go,
spinnin' through the lives of the people you know, we all slow down.
D C A
How you gonna keep on turnin' from day to day?
D C E
How you gonna keep from turnin' your life away?
E
I feel like a spinnin' top or a dreidel ,
the spinnin' don't stop when you leave the cradle,
you just slow down, you just slow down, you just - slow - - down.
Fools Paradise Tom: D
D
1. You took me up to heaven, and then you took me in your arms,
G
I was dazzled by your beauty, blinded by your charms.
A D A D
I was lost in Fools Paradise, good and lost in a Fools Paradise.
D 2. But then you told me that you loved me,
and then I gave my heart to you.
G
But, well, I wondered if there could be any truth in love so new,
A D A D
I was lost in a Fools Paradise, good and lost in a Fools Paradise.
G
The whole world was my kingdom,
D
and your love became my crown,
E
but when I saw you then with a new romance,
G - - - - - G - - - - - A
you know, my love came tumbling down.
D
3. Well you treat kind of coolish, and you never love me enough,
G
and you think I'm being foolish because I love you so.
A D A D
I still get lost in a Fools paradise, good and lost in a Fools Paradise.
+ instrumental = verse 1, + CHORUS + repeat verse 3
A D A D
I still get lost in a Fools paradise, lost with you in a Fools Paradise.
American Pie Tom: G
G D Em7 Am C
A long long time ago I can still remember
Em D G D Em7
How that music used to make me smile and I knew if I had my chance
Am C Em C D Em
That I could make those people dance and maybe they'd be happy for a while
Am Em Am
But February made me shiver with every paper I'd deliver
C G-B Am C D
Bad news on the doorstep I couldn't take one more step
G D Em Am7 D
I can't remember if I cried When I read about his widowed bride
G D C D7 G C-G G
But something touched me deep inside the day the music died So
Chorus:
G C G D
Bye Bye Miss American Pie
G C G D
Drove my chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
G C G D
And them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Em A7 Em D7
Singin' this'll be the day that I die, this'll be the day that I die.
G Am C Am
Did you write the book of love and do you have faith in God above?
Em D G D Em
If the Bible tells you so. Do you believe in Rock 'n Roll?
Am7 C
Can music save your mortal soul?
Em A7 D
And can you teach me how to dance real slow?
Em D
Well, I know that you're in love with him
Em D
'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym
C G-B A7 C D7
You both kicked off your shoes man, I dig those rhythm and blues
G D Em
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
Am C
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck.
G D Em C D7 G C
But I knew I was out of luck the day the music died I started singin'
(Chorus)
G Am
Now for ten years we've been on our own
C Am Em D
And moss grows fat on a rollin' stone, but that's not how it used to be
G D Em
When the jester sang for the King and Queen
Am7 C
In a coat he borrowed from James Dean
Em A7 D
And a voice that came from you and me
Em D Em D
Oh, and while the King was looking down, the jester stole his thorny crown
C G-B A7 C D7
The courtroom was adjourned, no verdict was returned
G D Em Am C
And while Lennon read a book on Marx, the quartet practiced in the park
G D Em C D7 G C
And we sang dirges in the dark, the day the music died. We were singing
(Chorus)
G Am
Helter-Skelter in a summer swelter,
C Am
The birds flew off with a fallout shelter
Em D G D Em
Eight miles high and falling fast It landed foul out on the grass
Am7 C
The players tried for a forward pass
Em A7 D
But the jester's on the sidelines in a cast
Em D
Now the half-time air was sweet perfume
Em D
While the sergeants played a marching tune
C G-B A7 C D7
We all got up to dance, but we never got the chance
G D Em
'Cause the players tried to take the field
Am C
The marching band refused to yield
G D Em C D7 G C G
Do you recall what was revealed the day the music died? We stared singing
(Chorus)
G Am C Am
Oh, and there we were all in one place A generation lost in space
Em D G
With no time left to start again. So come on, Jack be nimble
Em Am7 C
Jack be quick Jack Flash sat on a candlestick
` Em A7 D
'Cause fire is the Devil's only friend
Em D
Oh, and as I watched him on the stage,
Em D
My hands were clenched in fists of rage
C G A7 C D7
No angel born in hell could break that Satan's spell
G D Em
And as the flames climbed high into the night
Am C
To light the sacrificial rite
G D Em C D7 G C G
I saw Satan laughing with delight the day the music died He was singing
(Chorus)
G Am C Am
I met a girl who sang the blues and I asked her for some happy news
Em D G D
But she just smiled and turned away I went down to the sacred store
Em Am7
Where I'd heard the music years before
Em A7 D
But the man there said the music wouldn't play
Em D
And in the streets the children screamed
Em D
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed
C G A7 C D7
But not a word was spoken, the church bells all were broken
G D Em Am C
And three men I admire most, the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost
G D Em
They caught the last train for the coast,
C D7 G C G
The day the music died. And they were singing
(Chorus)
They were singing
(Chorus)
