F Bb F Bb 2x

 F      C         Bb
Another day is at end 
C               Bb     F
Mama says she's tired again 
           C             Bb       C
No one can even begin to tell her 

F        C            Bb
I hardly know what to say 
C              Bb          F
But maybe it's better that way 
             C                  Bb       C
If papa were here I'm sure he'd tell her 

F          C                 F               Bb
Shannon is gone I hope she's drifting out to sea 
F          Bb             C
She always loved to swim away 
F            C              F            Bb
Maybe she'll find an island with a shady tree 
F             Bb             F
Just like the one in our backyard 

F          C          Bb
Mama tries hard to pretend 
C               Bb      F
Things will get better again 
         C                Bb      C
Somehow she's keeping it all inside her 

    F           C              Bb
But finally the tears fill our eyes 
C               Bb          F
And I know that somewhere tonight 
              C              Bb       C
She knows how much we really miss her 

F          C                 F               Bb
Shannon is gone I hope she's drifting out to sea 
F          Bb             C
She always loved to swim away 
F            C              F            Bb
Maybe she'll find an island with a shady tree 
F             Bb             F
Just like the one in our backyard 

              Bb             F
Just like the one in our backyard

The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don't Be Late)

written by Ross Bagdasarian, Sr. (a.k.a. David Seville) in 1958. Although it was written and sung by Bagdasarian (in the form of a high-pitched chipmunk voice), the singing credits are given to The Chipmunks, a fictitious singing group consisting of three chipmunks by the names of Alvin, Simon, and Theodore. The song won three Grammy Awards in 1958: Best Comedy Performance, Best Children's Recording, and Best Engineered Record (non-classical).

G                   G6            D7
Christmas, Christmas time is near,
                                G6
Time for toys and time for cheer.
Am7                D7         Am7         D7
We’ve been good, but we can’t last,
Am7       D7             G      G6
Hurry, Christmas, hurry fast!

G           G6              G              G6
Want a plane that loops the loop;
G7                  C
Me, I want a hula hoop.
C            Cm       G              E7
We can hardly stand the wait,
              Am7            D7          G
Please Christmas, don’t be late.

Misery's End - Paula Fuga and Mike Love


F - Am - F - Am - Gm7 - A#m6 
(Repeat throughout)

Just  something I must do
For future
Always knew that it would be 
Just so oh oh
I'd be counting the days
And I won't get used to away
Before I sail away
I want you to know
Why i must go oh oh oh
I promise to come home some day
And all these loving memories
I promise to keep with me

Misery's end is on your lips
But please don't say,  'Don't go away from me'
You know i'm just a breeze
Coming into the trees
Before I sail away
I want you to know
That when I go oh oh oh
I try my best to phone daily
Remember no news is good news
And the good news is I love you ooh ooh

Before I sail away
I want you to know
That when I go oh oh oh
I'll come back home to you safely
And when I return
I hope you pick me up in baggage claim C

You know i'm just a breeze
Skipping over the sea

Our whole universe was in a hot dense state,

C              D        G         D    Em
Math, science, history, unraveling the mysteries,
     C           D            G
That all started with the big bang!

"Since the dawn of man" is really not that long,
         C          D              G            D        Em
As every galaxy was formed in less time than it takes to sing this song.

A fraction of a second and the elements were made.

    C          D
The oceans and pangea
        G              D  Em
See ya, wouldn't wanna be ya
       C             D        G
Set in motion by the same big bang!
       C                D      A
It all started with the big BANG!

D       G             Em             A
It's expanding ever outward but one day
D        G                  Em            A
It will cause the stars to go the other way,
A          D                        Em               A
Collapsing ever inward, we won't be here, it wont be hurt
A            D                Em                  A          C
Our best and brightest figure that it'll make an even bigger bang!

Monster Mash - Bobby 'Boris' Pickett


I was [G]working in the lab late one night
When my [Em]eyes beheld an eerie sight
For my [C]monster from the slab began to rise
And [D]suddenly, to my surprise
He did the [G]mash... He did the Monster Mash
The Monster [Em]Mash... It was a graveyard smash
He did the [C]mash... It caught on in a flash
He did the [D]mash... He did the Monster Mash
From my [G]laboratory in the Castle East
To the [Em]Master Bedroom where the vampires feast
The [C]ghouls all came from their humble abode
To [D]get a jolt from my electrode
And do the [G]mash... And do the Monster Mash
The monster [Em]mash... And do my graveyard smash
To do the [C]mash... They caught on in a flash
To do the [D]mash... To do the monster mash
The [G]scene was rocking all were digging the sound
[Em]Igor on chains backed by His Baying Hounds
The [C]Coffin Bangers were about to arrive
With their [D]vocal group, the Crypt Kicker Five
The [C]Zombies were having fun... In-a-shoop-wha-ooo
The [D]party had just begun... In-a-shoop-wha-ooo
The [C]guests included Wolfman... In-a-shoop-wha-ooo STOP
[D]Dracula and his son.. (Drum fill)
[G]Out from his coffin Drac's voice did ring
It [Em]seems he was worried 'bout just one thing
[C]Opened the lid and shook his fist, and said
[D]"Whatever hoppened to my Transylvania Tvist?"
It's now the [G]mash... It's now the Monster Mash
The monster [Em]mash... And it's a graveyard smash
It's now the [C]mash... It's caught on in a flash
It's now the [D]mash... It's now the Monster Mash
Now [G]everything's cool, Drac's a part of the band
And my [Em]Monster Mash, it's the hit of the land
For [C]you, the living, this Mash was meant, too
When you [D]get to my door, tell them Boris sent you
And you can [G]Mash... And you can Monster Mash
The monster [Em]mash... And do my graveyard Smash
And you can [C]Mash... You'll catch on in a flash
Then you can [D]Mash... Then you can Monster Mash

Time Warp from Rocky Horror Picture Show

 AAB
    It's astounding; time is fleeting
 GDAB
 madness   takes its toll.  But listen closely - not for very much longer -
 GDA
 I've got to - keep control.
 BGDA
I remember - doing the Time Warp   Drinking   those moments when
 B
the blackness would hit me - and the void would be calling....
 FCGDA
 Let's do the Time Warp again!  (x2)
(N.C) E A
It's just a jump to the left - and then a step to the ri-ight
 EA
With your hands on your hips - you bring your knees in tight
 DA
But it's the pelvic thrust - that really drives you insa-ane
Let's do the Time Warp again! (x2, chords as above)
 ABGDA
It's so dreamy - oh fantasy free me! So you can't see me - no not at all.
 B
In another dimension, with voyeuristic inten-tion,
 GDA
Well secluded   I'll see all.
 B
With a bit of a mind flip - you're into the time slip
 GDA
 Nothing can ever be the same
 B
You're spaced out on sensation - like you're under sedation!
Let's do the Time Warp again! (x2, chords above)
Well I was tapping down the street just-a having a think
 A7D
When a snake of a guy gave me an evil wink, well it shook me up,
 A
it took me by surprise, he had a pick-up truck and the devil's eyes,
 EDA
He stared at me and I felt a change, Time meant nothing never would again.
Let's do the Time Warp Again (x2)
It's just a jump to the left...
