In The Bleak Midwinter
Tom: Bm
Intro: Em G F#m G A
D                Bm          G                   A
In the bleak mid  -  winter,  icy   wind   made    moan
Angels  and  arch - angels,   may have gathered there.
What then can I   give Him,   empty   as    I    am
D                    Bm         G      A       D
Earth stood hard as iron,      water  like a stone
Cherubim      and      seraphim rising in the air.
If   I   were   a   shepherd,  I would bring a lamb
                  
Em           F#m Gmaj7    A    Bm7     Em       Asus4 A
Snow on snow had fall  -  en,  snow on snow on snow
Oh   but   only   Ma  -  ry    in her maiden  bliss
If  I  were   a  wise  -  man, I would know my part
*

Heaven cannot hold Him, nor can earth sustain

Heaven and earth shall fall away when He comes to reign

See the curtains hanging in the window

In the evening on a Friday night
E              G

G                                 (INTRO TAB)
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind
This progression continues throughout the rest of the song:
See the paper lying on the sidewalk
A little music from the house next door
So I walk on up to the door step
Through the screen and across the floor
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind
Sweet days of summer, the jasmine's in bloom
July is dressed up and playing her tune
When I come home from a hard days work
And you're waiting there, not a care in the world
See the smile a-waiting in the kitchen
Food cooking and the plates for two
Feel the arms that reach out to hold me
In the evening when the day is through
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind

Walking Man 
Tom: E
Intro: Emaj9 Esus4-6  (repeat several times) to E or Eadd9
Moving in [E7]silent despera[A]tion [B]
Keeping an eye on the[Esus4-6] Holy Land [E]
A hypo[E7]thetical destina[A]tion [B]
Say, who is this [Esus4-6]waliking[E] man? [Esus4-6] [Gadd9/A]
Well, the [Dmaj7]leaves have come to turn[Asus4]ing 
And the [Dmaj7]goose has gone to fly [A7sus4] [Bb sus]
And [Bm7]bridges are for[E9] buning 
So [Bm7]don't you let that [E9]yearning pass you by [A13] 
Walking [Dmaj7]man [A7sus4], walking man [Dmaj7]walks [A7sus4] [Bm7] 
Well, any other man[E9] stops and talks [A13]
But the walking man [Dmaj7]walks [A7sus4]
Well the frost is on the pumpkin 
And the hay is in the barn 
An Pappy's come to rambling on 
Stumbling around drunk 
Down on the farm 
And the walking man walks 
Doesn't know nothing at all 
Any other man stops and talks 
But the walking man[Dmaj7]walks on by[A7sus4] [Dmaj7] 
Walk on by [Bm7] [A] 
[Gmaj7]
Most [F#m7]every[Em7]body's got [A7sus4]seed to [Dmaj7]sow 
[Gmaj7]
It ain't always [F#7add5]easy for a weed to [B9]grow, [F#7#5]no [B9]
So [Eadd9]he don't hoe the row[Gadd9/A] for no one 
Oh for sure he's always missing 
And something is never quite right 
Ah, but who would want to listen to you 
Kissing his existence good night 
Walking man walk on by my door 
Well, any other man stops and talks 
But [F#7]not the [Bm7]walking man..... 
[E9] [A7sus4] [F#7] [Bm7] [E9]...(ad lib)...etc..
(ad lib during fade, etc)
He's the walking man 
Born to walk 
Walk on walking man 
Well now, would he have wings to fly 
Would he be free 
Golden wings against the sky 
Walking man, walk on by 
So long, walking man, so long....

Caught in the rays of rising sun, On the run, from the soldier’s gun
Shouting out loud from the angry  crowd, the mild, the wild and the hungry child

And more than the shining eyes, But it’s more than the shining eye
More than the steaming green, More than the hidden hills
                                A / B7 C#m / D / E/G# / A /B7 / C#m
More than the concret christ, More than a distant land, over a shining sea
( D / E/G# / A / B7 / C#m )             
More than the a hungry child, More like another time, Born of a million years, 
More than a million years

Bartender's Blues      
Tom: A
Intro:  E  F#m7 E/G#   
         
      A                 A7 
      Now I'm just a bartender 
            D             Bm7 
      And I don't like my work 
            E                      A   E  F#m7 E/G# 
      But I don't mind the money at all 
   
            A           A7 
      I see lots of sad faces 
           D          Bm7 
      And lots of bad cases 
         E                              A   E  F#m7 E/G# 
      Of folks with their backs to the wall 
                            A           A7          D       Bm7 
      Chorus:  But I need four walls around me to hold my life 
               E                A   E  F#m7 E/G# 
       To keep me from going a-stray 
                    A            A7      D       Bm7 
       And a honky-tonk angel to hold me tight 
               E                A    E  F#m7 E/G# 
       To keep me from slipping away 
               
              A            A7 
      I can light up your smokes 
             D            Bm7 
      I can laugh at your jokes 
             E                          A    E  F#m7 E/G# 
      I can watch you fall down on your knees 
             A              A7 
      I can close down this bar 
             D       Bm7 
      I can gas up my car 
             E                     A   E  F#m7 E/G# 
      I can pack up and mail in my key 
      Chorus: 
               A               A7 
      Now, the smoke fills the air 
             D           Bm7 
      In this honky-tonk bar 
               E                             A  E  F#m7 E/G# 
      And I'm thinking 'bout where I'd rather be 
             A             A7 
      But I burned all my bridges 
           D           Bm7 
      I sank all my ships 
               E                         A  E  F#m7 E/G# 
      And I'm stranded at the edge of the sea 
      Chorus: 
                
Steam Roller
Tom: E
Intro:  F#7   B9   E 
E                             A                            E 
   Well, I'm a steamroller Babe.  I'm bound to roll all over you. 
  A                                                               E 
   Yes, I'm a steamroller, now, Babe.  I'm bound to roll all over you. 
  B7                        A 
   I'm gonna inject your soul with some sweet Rock-and-Roll   
       E                           F#7     B9   E 
   And shoot you full of Rythm and Blues. 
E                          A                          E 
   Well, I'm a cement mixer; a churning urn of burning funk. 
  A                                                                  E 
   Well, I'm a cement mixer for you, Babe; a churning urn of burning funk. 
  B7                          A 
   Well, I'm a demolition derby, yeah;  
     E                       F#7     B9   E 
   a hefty hunk of steaming junk. 
E                                A                             E 
   Well, I'm a napalm bomb, Babe. just guaranteed to blow your mind. 
  A                                                                   E 
   Yes, I'm a napalm bomb for you, Babe. just guaranteed to blow your mind. 
  B7                             A 
   And if I can't have your love for my own ,now, sweet child, 
   E                     F#7     B9   E 
   Won't be nothin left behind. 
E7    C#m9      F#7                             B9          E 
   It seems how lately, Babe, got a bad case of steamroller blues. 

 

Golden Moments 
Tom: D
       A/D           D                C/F 
Now if all my golden moments could be rolled into one 
           D                   A/D      C/D 
they would shine just like the sun on a summer day 
D   G     Em7    A7sus4 A#dim7    Bm              C/D 
And after it was over    we could have it back again 
D    G      Em7    A7sus4 A#dim7     Bm               D/E E      D/E E 
with credit to the editor        for striking out the rain, very clean 
    G      Em7    A7sus4 A#dim7          Bm              Csus2 
And all it really needed         was the proper point of view 
C/F                     A/D   C/F                    C/D 
No one's gonna bring me down. No one's gonna stop me now 
       A/D           D             C/F 
Now I gathered up my sorrows and I sold them all for gold 
      D               A/D        C/D                  D 
and I gathered up the gold and I threw it all away 
D  G        Em7   A7sus4 A#dim7   Bm              C/D D 
It all went for a good time and a song, come on 
D    G      Em7    A7sus4 A#dim7     Bm             D/E E      D/E E 
But laughter was like music;  it did float my soul along for a while 
    G      Em7    A7sus4 A#dim7          Bm              Csus2 
And all it really needed was the proper point of view 
C/F                     A/D   C/F                    C/D 
No one's gonna reach me here. No one's gonna know I'm gone 
         A/D             D           C/F 
You may think I might be crazy and I guess you might be right 
      D              A/D           C/D 
but I know the way I feel today is out of sight 
D G      Em7        A7sus4 A#dim7    Bm              C/D D 
I do not trust your senses        to remember your name 
    G      Em7     A7sus4 A#dim7            Bm              D/E E  D/E E 
Without corrective lenses        things are never twice the same 
    G      Em7    A7sus4 A#dim7          Bm              Csus2 
And all it really needed was the proper point of view 
C/F                     A/D   C/F                    A/D 
No one's gonna bring me down. No one's gonna stop me now. 
C/F                     A/D   C/F                    A/D 
No one's gonna reach me here. No one's gonna know I'm gone. 
C/F A/D C/F A/D [repeat and fade]

Way down here     you need a reason to move
          G     D             A         G
Feel a fool     running your stateside games
           G     D          A         G
Lose your load,   leave your mind behind, 
Baby James 
E   C#-  B  A
Oh,      Mexico 
   E         C#-       B          A
It sounds so simple I just got to go 
    E        C#m      B          A
The sun's so hot I forgot to go home 
G          D/F#      E
Guess I'll have to go now
  G      D         A        G
"Americano" got the sleepy eye
  G          D            A              G
But his body's still shaking like a live wire
       G       D          A         G
Sleepy "Senorita" with the eyes on fire
E C#-  B  A
Oh,   Mexico

It sounds so sweet with the sun sinking low

Moon's so bright like to light up the night
 G          D/F#      E
Make everything all right
    G       D         A        G
Baby's hungry and the money's all gone
        G      D           A                   G
The folks back home don't want to talk on the phone

Daddy's baby,  what's got you think- ing
F#m7           C#m7       D/G Csus2
What's got you sinking so low?
         C#m7               F#7sus4 F#7
Is there something I should know,
Bm7              E9
something new to you?
Amaj7   E7sus4 Amaj7       E7sus4 Amaj7
Daddy's baby,  fussing and fret-  ting,
F#m7       C#m7       D/G Csus2
keeping on getting it wrong.
        C#m7         F#7sus4 F#7
She can only last so long
      Bm7         E9
She's going for a song,
   Amaj7      Em7  A7 Dmaj7 C#m7
so sing her a lull-a- by-   bye
Bm7        F#7sus4 F#7 Bm7  E9
Baby don't like    to  cry

Swaddle and swing   her
Bm7        E9    Amaj7
Sing her a lulla-by
Gmaj7           D/E      E/A
  She makes her feelings known to me
Gmaj7      D/E      E/A
 Her every side is shown to me
    F#m7         C#m7
And in our time alone
   Bm7      Gmaj7  G#m7-5 C#7       F#maj7
my love has surely grown     of its own
F#m7       B7sus4   E    B/E
solid as a stepping stone
   Em9      A7     Dmaj7    C#m7      F#7sus4   F#7
as silently as the dawn was breaking, soft and clear
       Bm7        E9         F#7sus4   F#7
and my tears were dry and my fears had flown
     Bm7       E9      F#
so I called my love my home.
Dmaj7 C#m7 Bm7 F#7sus4 F#7, Bm7 E9 Amaj7.

                      Now I'm just a bartender

                      I can light up your smokes

                      I can laugh at your jokes

                      I can close down this bar

                      I can gas up my car

Captain Jim's Drunken Dream
Tom: G
                              G                     Em7                     G              Em7
                      Now you country fools in your one-horse town, you can laugh at me
                           G                         Em7                    G              Em7
                      It's plain as rain that you've never been down to the southern sea
                         G                  Em7                G          Em7
                      To see me now is like watching a fish on dry land
                        G                   Em7                F/C C
                      I only wish you could see me down in the is- lands
                      C        D        G
                      Mister, that's my home

                      What a fool I was to leave the only happiness I've known.
                              G                     Em7                     G              Em7
                      You see me comin', you wink your eye and call me Captain Jim
                                 G                       Em7                 
                      And when I don't do nothin' but to walk on by you say, 
                             G                  Em7
                              "Baby get a load of him."
                      G                 Em7                 G              Em7
                      All I need is the sea and the sky and I know where I stand
                        G                           Em7                F/C               C
                      instead of you hicks straight out of the sticks deciding I ain't a man
                      C        D                G
                      You'll never understand;

                      Up here I'm just a whiskey bum but down there I'm a king
                         F                    C               Am7           Dsus4
                      It sounds just like the angels up in heaven when they sing:
                      D7       G    Em7   G           Em7    G                Em7
                      "Welcome home,      welcome home."   -- Such a sight to see
                         F                C     G/B  Am7             
                      instead of some Salvation Army sister singin' 
                       C/D              G     Em7 G Em7
                      "Nearer My God to Thee."

                      Now I know that the Yankee whiskey is takin' away my mind
                            G                    Em7        G               Em7
                      and I know that run is the only drink suitable to man-kind
                            G                       Em7      G                 Em7
                      And I know that this tree I'm under is shaped entirely wrong
                        G              Em7                F/C               C
                      I need to see a gentle palm tree and I won't wait too long
                             C             D          G
                      I can feel that it's comin' on strong
                          F                  C         Am7            D
                      The first cold wind of winter is flappin' in my clothes
                      F              C               Am7            C/D
                      Showin' me the way with the direction that it blows.
                              G     Em              G         Em7
                      Welcome home,      welcome home, let it blow. [repeat and fade]

Sweet Baby James
Tom: G
          G                     C            G
    There is a young cowboy, he lives on the range.
        C                            G
    His horse and his cattle are his only companions.
       C                          G
    He works in the saddle and he sleeps in the canyon.
    C                       A7          D
    Waiting for summer, his pastures to change.
        C                    G
    And as the moon rises he sits by his fire,
    C                        G          D
    thinkin' about women and glasses of beer.
        C                       G
    And closing his eyes as the doggies retire,
       C                         G             D
    he sings out a song which is soft but it's clear,
       C        A7            D
    as if maybe someone would hear......
    CHORUS
    G              C         D  G    C                     G
    Good night you moonlight ladies, rock-a-bye sweet baby James.
    C                             G
    Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose,
              A7                   D
    won't you let me go down in my dreams.
        C          D          G
    And rock-a-bye sweet baby James.
            G                     C            G
    Now the first of December was covered with snow.
        C                        G
    And so was the turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston.
              C                             G
    Don't the Berkshires look dream-like on account of that frostin'?
         C                           A7               D
    With ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go.
              C                             G
    There's a song that they sing when they take to the highway,
      C                             G           D
    a song that they sing when they take to the sea,
      C                            G
    a song that they sing of their home in the sky,
          C                        G            D
    maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep.
        C             A7            D
    But singin' works just fine for me .....

Fire and Rain
Tom: C
    C              Gm7                 F             C
    Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone.
    C         G                      Bbmaj7
    Susan the plans they made put an end to you.
    C                 Gm7           F               C
    I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song.
    C              G             Bbmaj7
    I just can't remember who to send it to.
    CHORUS
    F   F/E       Dm7      G7     C
        I've seen fire and I seen rain.
              F     F/E         Dm7           G7    C
    I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end.
              F      F/E          Dm7       G7     C
    I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend.
          Bb     F/A              Gm7     C9
    But I always thought that I'd see you again.
              C                 Gm7                  F              C
    Won't you look down upon me Jesus, you've got to help me make a stand.
    C                  G                Bbmaj7
    You've just got to see me through another day.
    C         Gm7           F          C
    My body's aching and my time is at hand,
    C           G           Bbmaj7
    And I won't make it any other way.
    (Chorus)
            C                          Gm7
    Now I'm walking my mind through an easy time,
       F                       C
    my back turned towards the sun.
    C                   G                     Bbmaj7
    Lord knows when the cold wind blows it'll turn you head around.
                 C                    Gm7
    Well there's hours of time on the telephone line
       F                    C
    to talk about things to come.
    C                G                  Bbmaj7
    Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground.
    (Chorus)
Shower The People
Tom :A 
        D                         A
You can play the game and you can act out the part
           Bm             D/A         G
Though you know it wasn't written for you
             D                                 A      A#dim7
But tell me, how can you stand there with your broken heart
  Bm           D/A     G
Ashamed of playing the fool
D                        A                 Bm        D/A   G
One thing can lead to an-other; it doesn't take any sac-ri-fice
    D                      A       A#dim7
Oh, father and mother, sis-ter and brother,
Bm          D/A      G           (D/F#)
If it feels nice, don't think twice
D/F# Em7                   A
Just shower the people you love with love
Em7                         A
Show them the way that you feel
Em7                       A           A#dim7 Bm   F#dim7
Things are gonna work out fine if you only will
Em7                   A
Shower the people you love with love
Em7                         A
Show them the way that you feel
Em7                       A            A#dim7 Bm   C      G
Things are gonna be much better if you only will. 
        D                   A
You can run but you cannot hide; 
 Bm     D/A       G
This is widely known
             D                    A      A#dim7
And what you plan to do with your foolish pride 
  Bm           D/A     G
When you're all by yourself alone
D                        A                     Bm              D/A       G
Once you tell somebody the way that you feel, you can feel it beginning to ease
    D                                A       A#dim7
I think it's true what they say about the squeaky wheel
Bm          D/A      G           (D/F#)
Always getting the grease.
D/F# Em7                   A
Better to shower the people you love with love
Em7                         A
Show them the way that you feel
Em7                       A           A#dim7 Bm   F#dim7
Things are gonna be just fine if you only will
Em7                   A
Show the people you love with love
Em7                         A
Show them the way that you feel
Em7                A            A#dim7 Bm   C      G
Things are gonna be much better if you only will.
    Em7                   A               Em7                        A
Shower the people you love with love; show them the way that you feel
    Em7                   A               Em7                        A
Shower the people you love with love; show them the way that you feel
Ad lib: 
  They say in every life,
  They say the rain must fall
  Just like pouring rain
  Make it rain
  Love is sunshine.
