Why don't you write me,

To be near yo-ou.

Why don't you write?

Something is wrong

And I know I got to be there. 
Bb7

But I can't make the cost 
      |Cm      |Gm |Eb

Eb            
Why don't you write me,

A letter would brighten 
  |F                 |  | 
My loneliest evening. 
Bb7

If it's only to say

  (La, la, la) 
Ab7                               | 
Monday morning, sitting in the sun 
                                       | 
Hoping and wishing for the mail to come 
Eb                        |Eb7 | 
Tuesday, never got a word, mmm. 
Ab7                                | 
Wednesday, Thursday, ain't no sign,

Drank a half a bottle of iodine. 
Eb  
Friday, woe is me 
   |Eb7                        |Ab           | 
I'm gonna hang my body from the highest tree.

 Why don't you write me? 
              |Ab 
 Why don't you write me? 
              |Eb 
 Why don't you write me?

  There's something you ought to know
  If you're fixing to go,
  I can't make it without you;
  No no no no, no, no,
  No no no no, no, no, no...

A Most Peculiar Man
Tom: D
          D                 Em
He was a most peculiar man.
                                                       A7
That's what Missus Riordon said, and she should know;
               D              G
She lived upstairs from him.
                   A7            D
She said he was a most peculiar man.
          D                 Em
He was a most peculiar man.
                                               A7
He lived all alone within a house, within a room, within himself.
                 D
A most peculiar man.
            D
He had no friends, he seldom spoke,
    Em
And no one in turn ever spoke to him,
                                              A7
'Cause he wasn't friendly and he didn't care,
                    D
And he wasn't like them.
     G            A7            D
Oh, no! He was a most peculiar man.
              D
He died last Saturday,
     Em
He turned on the gas and he went to sleep,
With the windows closed so he'd never wake up
To his silent world and his tiny room,
                                               A7
And Missus Riordon says he has a brother somewhere
                        D
Who should be notified soon.
     G               A7            D              Bm
And all the people said, "What a shame that he's dead,
     G           A7            D
But wasn't he a most peculiar man?"

With political connections to spread his wealth around

     Am                             G
The papers print his picture almost everywhere he goes
         Am                        E7
Richard Cory at the opera, Richard Cory at a show
         D5
And the rumours of his parties and the orgies on his yacht
        Am     G       C          E7
Oh, he surely must be happy with everything he's got
C                    Am
But I -- work in his factory
      D5
And I curse the life I'm living,
And I curse my poverty
                            C                      Am
And i wish that I could be, oh I wish that I could be
     D5                D7                Am
Oh I wish that i could be   -    Richard Cory
    Am                          G
He freely gave to charities, he had the common touch
               Am                                  E7
And they were grateful for his patronage, and they thanked him very much
      D5 
So my mind was filled with wonder when the evening headlines read
Am      G         C                         Am
Richard Cory went home last night and put a bullet through his head
C                    Am
But I -- work in his factory
      D5
And i curse the life I'm living,
And I curse my poverty
                            C                      Am
And i wish that I could be, oh I wish that I could be

Oh I wish that i could be   -    Richard Cory

On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow.
[Chorus]
C      G     C       D  G - Em
I am a rock, I am an i___sland.
[Verse]
            G        C                 G
 I've built walls, a fortress deep and mighty,
Am           D    C    G
   That none may penetrate.
  Am7             Bm7         Am7               Bm7
I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain.
     Am                C        D
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain.
[Repeat Chorus]
[Verse]
              G              C               G
Don't talk of love, but I've heard the words before;
     Am   D      C     G
It's sleeping in my memory.
  Am7               Bm7        Am7                Bm7
I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died.
     Am            C                D
If I never loved I never would have cried.
[Repeat Chorus]
[Verse]
          G            C         G
I have my books and my poetry to protect me;
       Am     D     C  G
I am shielded in my armor,
Am7          Bm7   Am7            Bm7
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb.
  Am                  C           D
I touch no one and no one touches me.
[Repeat Chorus]
[Outro]
      Am         D  G
And a rock feels no pain;
        Am    D     G
And an island never cries.

     Many's the time I've been mistaken and many times confused
     C            F  C  G7   C   G   C B7 Am    E7        Am
     Yes and I've often felt forsaken and certainly misused

     Aw, but I'm alright, I'm alright, I'm just weary to my bones
     D7         G7                     C  G7  D       G
     Still you don't expect to be bright and bon vivant
     C    F C  G      E7 Am Dm7 C   G13      C
     So far away from home, so far away from home
     C                  F    C     G7   C      G    E7
     And I don't know a soul who's not been battered
                    Am            E7           Am
     I don't have a friend that's feels at ease
     C              F     C       G7 C      G     C B7  Am   E7          Am

     C9         F   G         F   C            F     C  G  F  Am   A7

     D7    G7                  C    G7       D         G
     Still when I think of the road we're travelin' on
     C   F C      G          E7 Am      Dm7          C  G13          C
     I wonder what's gone wrong, I can't help but wonder what's gone wrong
                 C
                 And I dreamed I was dying...
                                   G      G7        Am    Dm7
		 I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly
                                  G7       F C                G
		 And looking back down on me smiled reassuringly
                 G7                  C
		 And I dreamed I was flying....
                             G       G7           Am        Dm7
		 And high up above my eyes could clearly see
                               G7        C               G
		 The Statue of Liberty - sailing away to sea
                G7                   C
		 And I dreamed I was flying....
     C                  F     C   G    C         G
     For we come on the ship they call Mayflower
     E7              Am        E7           Am
     We come on the ship that sailed the moon
        C           F C  G    C  G         C  B7  Am       E7         Am
     We come in the ages most uncertain hours and sing an American Tune
     C9              F   G         F   C          F  C  G E7 Am       A7
     Aw, but it's alright, it's alright you can't be forever blessed
     D7       G                  C  G7 D       G
     Still tomorrow's gonna be another working day
     C         F    C  G            E7 Am      Dm7  C      G13     G7   C
     And I'm trying to get some rest, that's all I'm trying to get some rest
Sound Of Silence 
Tom: Em
Em                        D
   Hello darkness, my old friend,
                           Em
I've come to talk with you again,
                  C     G          
Because a vision soft creeping,
          Em             C     G                  
Left it's seeds while I was sleeping,
         C                C/G            G                          
And the vision that was planted in my brain
       Em       
Still remains
             D       Em               
Within the sound of silence.
 Em                          D         
In restless dreams I walked alone
                        Em
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
 Em                 C        G
'Neath the halo of a street lamp,
              Em           C        G
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
        C                                                                                               
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon
G
light
               Em
That split the night
                D        Em
And touched the sound of silence.
Em                         D
  And in the naked light I saw
                           Em
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
Em                C       G
People talking without speaking,
Em                    C       G
People hearing without listening,
                 C                       G
People writing songs that voices never share
           Em
And no one dare
             D        Em
Disturb the sound of silence.
Em                         D
 Fools said i, you do not know
                      Em
Silence like a cancer grows.
Em                     C          G
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Em                    C           G
Take my arms that I might reach you.
         C                          G
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
      Em
And echoed
       D        Em
In the wells of silence
Em                        D
 And the people bowed and prayed
                     Em
To the neon God they made.
Em                         C       G
 And the sign flashed out it's warning,
Em                     C     G
In the words that it was forming.
         Em              C
And the sign said, the words of the prophets
        C                    G
Are written on the subway walls
               Em
And tenement halls.
                      D         Em      
And whispered in the sounds of silence.

C           |Em         |F        |C
I should have known you'd bid me farewell.
         |C            |Em
There's a lesson to be learned from this
     |Am             |G7  |  |
and I learned it very well
F               |G
Now I know you're not 
        |C             |Am
the only starfish in the sea.
    |Dm             |Em
If I never hear your name again 
    |F             |G
it's all the same to me.
     |Am              |             | 
And I think it's gonna be all right.
Dm                |  
Yeah, the worst is over,
       |G             |              |F        |C 
The morning sun is shining like a Red Rubber Ball.
C        |Em         |F        |C
You never cared for secrets I'd confide.
   |C               |Em       |
For you I'm just an ornament,
Am                |G7    |  |
Something for your pride.
F             |G            |
Always running, never caring,
C                 |Am   |
That's the life you live. 
Dm            |Em
Stolen minutes of your time 
    |F            |G7
were all you had to give.

     |Am              |             | 
And I think it's gonna be all right.
Dm                |  
Yeah, the worst is over,
       |G             |              |F        |C 
The morning sun is shining like a Red Rubber Ball.
     C            |Em        |F           |C
The story's in the past with nothing to recall.
    |C              |Em        |
I've got my life to live and I 
Am                |G7   |  
don't need you at all.
   |F            |G             |
The roller coaster ride we took is
C          |Am   
nearly at an end.
 |Dm              |Em
I bought my ticket with my tears, 
      |F           |G
that's all I'm gonna spend.
     |Am              |             | 
And I think it's gonna be all right.
Dm                |  
Yeah, the worst is over,
       |G            |              |F       |C 
Now the morning sun is shining like a Red Rubber Ball.

 Yeah it's bouncing and it's shining like a Red Rubber Ball

VERSE 1:
      A                              G
I can hear the soft breathing of the girl that I love,
       Am                   E
As she lies here beside me asleep with the night.
    A                   G
Her hair in a fine mist floats on my pillow,
  Am           D/F#        E7
Reflecting the glow of the winter moonlight.

Before they come to catch me I'll be gone.

Somewhere they can't find me.
 
 
VERSE 2:
Oh baby, you don't know what I've done,
I've committed a crime, I've broken the law.
While you were here sleeping and just dreaming of me,
I held up and robbed a liquor store.
 
CHORUS
 
VERSE 3:
Oh my life seems unreal, my crime an illusion,
A scene badly written in which I must play.
And though it puts me uptight to leave you,
I know it's not right to leave you,
When morning is just a few hours away.

            C             B    D
            Of a now late afternoon
                   C          B           Am
            As the sun shines through the curtain lace
                G                     E  F#
            And shadows wash the room

            In syncopated time

                               G    Em  F#
            Are the borders of our lives

            With words that must be said
               C     B      Am
            Can analysis be worthwhile
                   G
            Is the theatre really dead
            Em
            And how the room is softly faded
                  F                        E
            And I only kiss your shadow, I cannot feel your hand

            You're a stranger now unto me

            Lost in the dangling conversation, And the superficial sighs

            In the borders of our lives

Hey schoolgirl

G         D7                 G      Eb C G
Hey schoolgirl in the second row
The teacher's lookin' over
      D7                      G      G  Eb C   G
So I got to whisper way down low
         C                         G                  D7   G
to say "who-bop-a-loo-chi-bop let's meet after school at three"
            C                      G
She said, "hey babe, but there is one thing more"
D7                    G         
My school is over at half past four
C                            G
Maybe when we're older, then we can date
D7         G
Ooh let's wait!"
       
      C                      G
She said, "Hey babe I gotta lot of work to do
D7                    G       
It takes me hours till my homework is thru
C                            G
Someday we'll go steady, so don't you fret,
D7         G
Ooh, not yet!"
           C                            G
Then she turned around to me with that gleam in her eye
D7                          G
She said, "I'm sorry if I passed you by,
           C                       G             D7
I'm gonna skip my homework, gonna cut my class,
                G
bug out of here real fast"
G          D7                 G      Eb  C   G
Hey schoolgirl in the second row
                                  D7                       G    Eb  C
Now we're goin' steady, hear the words that I want you to know
            C                      G      
well it's "Who- bop-a-loo-chi-bop, you're mine
D7                 G
I knew it all the time"
Fade out
D7                      G
Who-bop-a-loo-chi-bop, hah, you're mine.

Wednesday Morning, 3.am
Tom: C

C              Am             F          Em
I can hear the soft breathing of the girl that I love,
    C         Dm      G
As she lies here beside me asleep with the night
     C        Am        F          Em
And her hair in a fine mist floats on my pillow
 C          Dm         F  G      C
Reflecting the glow of the winter moonlight

C                  Am          F              Em
She is soft she is warm but my heart remains heavy,
     C             Dm             G
As I watch as her breasts gently rise, gently fall.
      C             Am             F             Em
For I know with the first light of dawn I'll be leaving,
  C                  Dm        F    G     C
And tonight will be all I have left to recall.

C               Am    F              Em
Oh what have I done, why have I done it,
  C               Dm     G  
I've committed a crime, broken the law.
     C          Am           F         Em
For twenty five dollars and pieces of silver,
  C           Dm       F     G      C
I held up and robbed a hard liquor store.

C              Am        F        Em
My life seems unreal, my crime an illusion,
 C            Dm         G
A scene badly written in which I must play.
      C          Am        F                Em  
And I know as I gaze at my young love beside me,
 C             Dm     F     G    C
The morning is just a few hours away.

I'll make you smile.

G           G    C       Em      Am7                   B   B7
 This is my tune for the taking. Take it, don't turn away. I've been
C       G      C     D7 G
waiting all my life.

 Em                          Bm B Dmin                     Am
 Thinking it over, I've been sad. Thinking it over, I'd be more than
D7      G           G7 C       Em      Am7               B    B7
glad to change my ways for the asking. Ask me and I will play all the
C           G      C     G D7 G
love that I hold inside.

                Michigan seems like a dream to me now

 Fmaj7 Cmaj7    Famj7 Cmaj7    Dm7          G7              C       Am
 Old   Friends. Old   Friends. Sat on their park bench like bookends.
  Dm7                         G                  Am
A newspaper blown through the grass falls on the round toes of the
Cmaj              F   C6
high shoes of the Old Friends.
 Fmaj7 Cmaj7    Dm7        G7         Fmaj7 Em7  Dm7
 Old   Friends. Winter companions the old   men. Lost in their
G7        C               Am          Dm7           G7    Em7
overcoats waiting for the sunset. The sounds of the city, sifting
        Am                 G           F               C6
through trees, settle like dust on the shoulder of the Old Friends.
 Dm7       G7       Cmaj7             F         Fm         C
 Can you imagine us years from today, sharing a park bench quietly?
    Dm7                    Am
How terribly strange to be seventy.
 Fmaj7 Cmaj7    Dm7    G7          Fmaj7 Em7    Dm7      G7
 Old   Friends. Memory brushes the same  years. Silently sharing the

same fears.

1. I'm sittin' in the railway station, got a ticket for my destination,  mm.
     Am                                 F
    on a tour of one night stands, my suitcase and guitar in hand,

          C               G            C
Homeward bound, I wish I was homeward bound,
  G              F
home, where my thought's escaping,
 G              F
home, where my music's playing,
 G              F                 D        G
home, where my love lies waiting silently for me.
    G                               D                       Bm Em
2. Everyday's an endless stream of cigarettes and magazines,  mm
         Am                                    F
    and each town looks the same to me , the movies and the factories,
         G  
    and every stranger's face I see reminds me that I long to be.

3. Tonight I'll sing my songs again, I'll play the game and pretend,  mm,
         Am                                 F
    but all my words come back to me, in shades of mediocrity,
          G        
    like emptiness in harmony I need someone to comfort me.
                       G      Em        G       Em
+ REFRAIN  + silently for me, silently for me  ... (rep. and fade)

Sounds Of Silence
Tom: C
                          C
Hello darkness my old friend,
                        F
I've come to talk with you again
                   Bb      Csus
Because a vision softly creeping 
                        Bb       Csus
Left it's seeds while I  was sleeping                                  
        Bb                           Csus
And the vision that was planted in my brain
           F                          C         F
Still remains-----  within the sounds of silence
                             C
In restless dreams I walked alone,
                        F
Narrow streets of cobblestone
                   Bb      Csus
'neath the halo of a streetlamp
                          Bb       Csus
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
        Bb                                       Csus
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
           F                          C         F
Split the night...   and touched the sound of silence
                             C
And in the naked light I saw
                        F
Ten thousand people maybe more
                   Bb      Csus
People talking without speaking
                   Bb      Csus
People hearing without listening
        Bb                            Csus
Peoplewriting songs that voices never share
       F                          C         F
Noone dare, disturb the sound of silence
                             C
Fools said I you do not know,
                        F
Silence like a cancer grows,
                   Bb      Csus
Hear my words that I might teach you
                   Bb      Csus
Take my arms that I might reach you
        Bb                               Csus
But my words, like silent raindrops fell...
      F                          C         F
And echoed the will of silence
                             C
And the people bowed and prayed,
                        F
To the neon god they made
                   Bb      Csus
And the sign flashed out its warning
                   Bb      Csus
In the words that it was forming
        Bb                             
And the sign said, "The words of the prophet
                                     Csus
Are written on the subway walls, and tenement halls
       F                       C         F
And whisper the sounds of silence."
**The end of the song contains the same solo as the end of the first verse.

Time, time, time, see what's become of me
       Bb
While I looked around
            Am
For my possibilities
         C      
I was so hard to please
            Dm                C
But look around, leaves are brown

Hear the salvation army band

Down by the riverside, it's bound to be a better ride

Than what you've got planned

Carry your cup in your hand

And the sky is a hazy shade of winter

Hang on to your hopes, my friend
Bb
That's an easy thing to say, but if your hopes should pass away
      Am
Simply pretend
         C      
That you can build them again
            Dm                C
Look around, the grass is high
          Bb      A7            Dm
The fields are ripe, it's the springtime of my life

Bb                            F     Fmaj7
Ahhh, seasons change with the scenery
                  C9
Weaving time in a tapestry
                     Dm A7   Dm
Won't you stop and remember me
C
  At any convenient time
Bb
Funny how my memory slips while looking over manuscripts
            Am
Of unpublished rhyme
         C      
Drinking my vodka and lime
            Dm                C
But look around, leaves are brown now
          Bb      A7            Dm
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter

There's a patch of snow on the ground...

Asking only workmans wages I come looking for a job
                G
But I get no offers
         Dm7              C
Just a come-on from the whores on seventh avenue
        Am                 Dm7     G     F                                 C
I do declare there were times when I was so lonesome I took some comfort there

Then I'm laying out my winter clothes
G7  C              Am
And wishing I was gone 
       G             Dm7      G7               G  C
Going home where the New York City winters aren't bleeding me
            Am
Leading me
        G
Going Home
       C                                            Am
In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his trade
          G
And he carries the reminders 
    G7               C                        Dm7     G7        C
Of ev'ry glove that laid him down or cut him 'till he cried out
                        Am
In his anger and his shame
        G              F                              C
"I am Leaving, I am Leaving."  But the Fighter still remains

El Condor Pasa
Tom: Am
         Am                          C
1. I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail,
                                       Am     - F-Am
    yes I would, if I could, I surely would.
                                   C
    I'd rather be a hammer than a nail,
                                             Am    F- Am
    yes I would, if I only could, I surely would.  m  m
      F
    Away, I'd rather sail away,
             C                   Am
    like a swan that's here and gone.
       F   
    A man gets tied up to the ground,
                   C                Am
    he gives the world its saddest sound,
         G        Am       -G - Am
    its saddest sound.
        Am                           C
2. I'd rather be a forest than a street,
                                       Am     - F - Am
    yes I would, if I could, I surely would.
                                          C
    I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet,
                                            Am    -F-Am-G-Am
    Yes I would, if I only could, I surely would.

 

I am a rock
Tom: G
               G          C            G        D       C-G
1. A winter's day, in a deep and dark December,   I am alone.
     Am              D      Am                D
    Gazing from my window to the streets below,
           Am             C                 D
    on a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow.
            G    Em        D - G    - Em
    I am a rock, I am an island.
                G       C                 G            D        C    G
2. I've built walls, a fortress deep and mighty, that none may penetrate.
       Am                 D          Am               D
    I have no need for friendship, friendship causes pain,
          Am                 C           D
    it's laughter and it's loving I disdain.
            G    Em      D- G   - Em
    I am a rock, I am an island.
                  G                C                G
3. Don't talk of love, well, I've heard the word before,
          D             C  G
   it's sleeping in my memory.
       Am                  D          Am                 D
    I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died,
            Am              C                 D
    if I'd never loved, I never would have cried.
            G    Em        D -G   - Em
    I am a rock, I am an island.
              G             C            G
4. I have my books, and my poetry to protect me.
           D             C G
    I am shielded in my armor.
     Am            D     Am              D
    Hiding in my room, safe within my womb,
        Am              C               D
    I touch no-one and no-one touches me.
            G    Em        D -G
    I am a rock, I am an island.
             C             G            C      D      G
    And the rock feels no pain, and an island never cries.
