Seaside Rendezvous - Queen

C
Seaside!  Whenever you stroll along with me
                                             G7
I'm merely contemplating what you feel inside
Dm
 Meanwhile I ask you to be my Clementine
                        C
You say you will if you could but you can't
F       G    C  Am          F       Em     Dm  C                      G
I love you madly!  Let my imagination run away with you gladly
     C                 B                       Asharp   A
A brand new angle, highly commendable
?G7   Dm                C
Seaside rendezvous

F
I feel so romantic, can we do it again?

Can we do it again sometime? (I'd like that!)
C7                                                            A      D7
Fantastic, c'est la vie mesdames et messieurs

 And at the peak of the season the Mediterranean

This time of year, it's so fashionable,

(instrumental)

I feel like dancing in the rain! Can I have a volunteer?
Dancing - what a damn jolly good idea!
It's such a jollification,  as a matter of fact, so tres charmant my dear
Underneath the moonlight together we'll sail across the sea Reminiscing every night,
Meantime - I ask you to be my valentine
You said you'd have to tell your daddy if you can -  I'll be your Valentino
We'll ride upon an omnibus and then the casino
Get a new facial, start a sensational seaside rendezvous
(so adorable)
Seaside rendezvous,   seaside rendezvous


Good Company - Queen

 Bb   Fdim   C   F


C7                                                                 F
Take good care of what you've got, my father said to me

              C7                                                F
 As he puffed his pipe and Baby B he dandled on his knee

                             F7               Bb   Db7             C7                    F                                
 Don't fool with fools who'll turn away, keep all good company


        C7           F                               F7             Bb           Db7
Ooh hoo, ooh hoo - Take care of those you call your own

         C7                          F
And keep good company


C7                                                     F
Soon I grew, and happy too, my very good friends and me

            C7                                             F
We'd play all day with Sally J., the girl from number four

         F      F7        Bb                  Db7
And very soon I begged her, Won't you keep me company

         C7            F              C7            F
Ooh hoo, ooh hoo, ooh hoo, ooh hoo

            F        F7       Bb    Db7           C7                       F
Come marry me forever more we'll be good company


Bb   Fdim   C   F


           D7                                       Gm           C7                                                      F     D7
Now marriage is an institution, sure - My wife and I, our needs and nothing more

             Gm7             Gm6            Eb            Gm                   Bbm                    Bmadd9 Bbm   A7
All my friends by a year by and by disappear, But we're safe enough behind         our    door


    C7                                                                          F
I flourished in my humble trade, my reputation grew

         C7                                                             F
The work devoured my waking hours, but when my time was through

                    F7      Bb          Db7           C7                F
Reward of all my efforts :  My own limited company


C7   F   C7   F  F    F7   Bb  Db7   C7   F

  F           F7         Bb    Db7       C7                   Bbm  Dm
I hardly noticed Sally as    we parted company


Gm7                    Gm6             Eb            Gm
All through the years, in the end it appears

                     Bbm                   Bmadd 9  Bm7  A7
There was never really anyone           but    me


C7                                                 F
Now I'm old, I puff my pipe but no-one's there to see

  C7                                             F
I ponder on the lesson of my life's insanity

                   F7          Bb   Db7                         C7                           F
Take care of those you call your own and keep good company

White Christmas - Irving Berlin


C   Dm   C   (Adim  C) Dm    G7
I'm dreaming of     a  white Christmas
F             Dm             C    Dm G7

To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of     a  white Christmas

With every Christmas card I write

May your days be merry and bright

C    G

Gary, I'm sorry I neglected you
      G             Em               C                  Em
Oh, I never expected you to run away and leave me
            G
Feeling this empty
C                       Em                           G
Your meow right now would sound like music to me
C                                     Em                 G
Please come home, 'cause I miss you, Gary

Too cool to forget, come back

Somewhere I hope you're reading my latest three-word poem:

Misread - Kings of Convenience


F            G          C
 If you wanna be my friend
 C             Em        F
 You want us to get along
 F            G          C                       
 Please do not expect me to
 C             Em        F                             
 Wrap it up and keep it there
 F            G          C      ...ecc ecc                                
 The observation I am doing could
                                
 Easily be understood
 As cynical demeanour
 But one of us misread...
 And what do you know
 It happened again
 A friend is not a means
 You utilize to get somewhere
 Somehow I didn't notice
 friendship is an end
 What do you know
 It happened again

 How come no-one told me
 All throughout history
 The loneliest people
 Were the ones who always spoke the truth
 The ones who made a difference
 By withstanding the indifference
 I guess it's up to me now 
 Should I take that risk or
 just smile?

 What do you know
 It happened again
 What do you know

Postcards From Italy - Beirut


Intro: F |F | A |A

     F
The times we had
              A
Oh, when the wind would blow with rain and snow 
     F
Were not all bad 
            A
We put our feet just where they had 
       F
Had to go
         A
Never to go 

     F
The shattered soul 
           A
Following close but nearly twice as slow 
     F
Were my good times 
                  A
There were always golden rocks to throw 
          F
At those who 
A     
Those who admit defeat too late 
       F
Those were our times 
       A
Those were our times 

    Bb    F                     Dm 
And I will love to see that day
      C
That day is mine
     Bb         F
When she will marry me
   Dm             C
Outside with the willow trees
Bb    F              Dm 
And playing songs in May C
What made me so
    Bb      F
And I would love to see that day
     C
The day was mine

                 C                                                       Em
If every simple song I wrote to you, Would take your breath away, 
                 Am   F                      G                              Am
I’d write it all, Even more in love with me you’d fall, 
                        G
We’d have it all. 

CHORUS
C                                    Am   C                                    Am
Oh it’s what you do to me, Oh it’s what you do to me,

Oh it’s what you do to me, Oh it’s what you do to me, 
                             C
What you do to me. Bridge
F G A thousand miles seems pretty far, But they’ve got planes and trains and cars, C Am I’d walk to you if I had no other way F G Our friends would all make fun of us, And we'll just laugh along because, C Am We know that none of them have felt this way, F G Delilah I can promise you, That by the time that we get through, Am G The world will never ever be the same, And you’re to blame. VERSE 3 C Em Hey there Delilah you be good, And don’t you miss me, C Em Two more years and you’ll be done with school, And I'll be making history, Am F G Am Like I do, You’ll know it's all because of you, F G Am We can do whatever we want to, F G Am C Hey there Delilah here's to you, This one’s for you.

King of Carrot Flowers Part 1 by Neutral Milk Hotel

G, C, G, D, C x2


G
When you were young
D              C       G
You were the king of carrot flowers
D                    C     D
And how you built a tower tumbling through the trees
C                   G
In holy rattlesnakes that fell all around your feet

G C G D C

G                                       D            C        G
And your mom would stick a fork right into daddy's shoulder
D              C      D
And dad would throw the garbage all across the floor
C                       G
As we would lay and learn what each other's bodies were for

G, C, G, D, C

G
And this is the room
D                   C        G
One afternoon I knew I could love you
D              C    D
And from above you how I sank into your soul
C              G
Into that secret place where no one dares to go

G, C, G, D, C

G                                      D          C        G
And your mom would drink until she was no longer speaking
D                 C   D
And dad would dream of all the different ways to die
C               G
Each one a little more than he could dare to try

G, C, G, D, G

New York I Love You, But You're Bringing Me Down - LCD Soundsystem



G
New York, I Love You
                        Em          G6
But you're bringing me down
G
New York, I Love You
                        Em          G6
But you're bringing me down
G
Like a rat in a cage
               Em         G6
Pulling minimum wage
G
New York, I Love You
                        Em          G6
But you're bringing me down


New York, you're safer
And you're wasting my time
Our records all show
You are filthy but fine
But they shuttered your stores
When you opened the doors
To the cops who were bored
Once they'd run out of crime

New York, you're perfect
Don't please don't change a thing
Your mild billionaire mayor's
Now convinced he's a king
So the boring collect
I mean all disrespect
In the neighborhood bars
I'd once dreamt I would drink

New York, I Love You
But you're freaking me out
There's a ton of the twist
But we're fresh out of shout
Like a death in the hall
That you hear through your wall
New York, I Love You
But you're freaking me out

New York, I Love You
But you're bringing me down
New York, I Love You
But you're bringing me down
Like a death of the heart
Jesus, where do I start?
But you're still the one pool
Where I'd happily drown

And oh.. Take me off your mailing list
For kids that think it still exists
Yes, for those who think it still exists

Maybe I'm wrong
And maybe you're right
Maybe I'm wrong
And maybe you're right
Maybe you're right
Maybe I'm wrong
And just maybe you're right

And Oh..
Maybe mother told you true
And they're always be something there for you
And you'll never be alone
But maybe she's wrong
And maybe I'm right
And just maybe she's wrong
Maybe she's wrong
And maybe I'm right
And if so, is there?
