Neopolitan Dreams - Lisa Mitchell


C E7 Am F (x2)

C                   E7
You go on, I'll be okay
                      Am7
I can dream the rest away
                     F
It's just a little touch of fate
            C
It will be okay
                            E7
It sure takes its precious time
                               Am F
But it's got rights and so have I
C                         E7
I turn my head up to the sky
                          Am7 F
I focus one thought at a time
                           F
I do not let the little thieves
                            C
Under my tightly buttoned sleeves
                  E7
You couldn't be alone, the time
                          A7
I feel like I am walking blind
                          F
I have nowhere I'll have time
                           C E7 F
There are no legible signs
                           C E7 F
There are no legible signs

C E7 Am7 F (x2)

C                        E7
I like the way that you talk
                         Am7
I like the way that you walk
                       F                  C
It's hard to recreate such an individual game
                            E7
You wait your turn in the queue
                               Am7
You say your sorrys and thank yous
                             F                          
I don't think you're ever a hundred percent in the room

C E7 F
                       C E7 F
You're not in the room
                       C E7 F
You're not in the room

C                        E7
Deepest of the darkest nights
                         Am7
Here lies the highest of highs
                       F                 C
Neapolitan dreams stretching out to the sea
                            E7
You wait your turn in the queue
                               Am7
You say your sorrys and thank yous
                             F                          
I don't think you're ever a hundred percent in the room

C E7 F
                       C E7 F
You're not in the room
                       C E7 F
You're not in the room

You Always Hurt The One You Love - Ryan Gosling (from Blue Valentine)


(Allan Roberts and Doris Fisher)



C             Cmaj7                 C6 
You always hurt the one you love,
         C                                     F Fsus2 F 
The one you shouldn't hurt at all. 
F                      G7 
You always take the sweetest rose,
                                               C 
And crush it till the petals fall.

C               Cmaj7 F 
You always break the kindest heart,
               D7                         G7 
With a hasty word you can't recall.
 C                 Cmaj7 
And if I broke your heart last night,
            D7    G7                           C G7C 
It's because I love you most of all.

Castle On A Cloud - Les Misérables

music by Claude-Michel Schönberg

Am  F  E  Am

Am         E  F   Dm  E  Am
There is a castle on  a  cloud
Am        G              C
I like to go there in my sleep
Dm         C/E        E  E+  F
Aren't any floors for me to  sweep
Dm        E           Am
Not in my castle on a cloud
Am         E    F      Dm   E  Am
There is a room that's full of toys
Am        G                C
There are hundred girls and boys
Dm     C/E       E     E+  F
Nobody shouts or talks too loud
Dm        E           Am
Not in my castle on a cloud

F               C
There is a lady all in white
F                    C
Holds me and sings a lullaby
      Bb                    F
She's nice to see and she's soft to touch
    E  
She says, Cosette, I love you very much
Am       E     F     Dm  E     Am
I know a place where no  one's lost
Am       G                  C
I know a place where no one cries
Dm        C/E    E   E+ F
Crying at all is not al-lowed
Dm        E           Am
Not in my castle on a cloud

Waking up too early, maybe 
           C7
We could sleep in.

Take Your Love With Me (The Ukulele Song) - Sophie Madeleine

C  Edim  F  Fm  C

                    C                                  Edim
Oh, I could navigate the ocean in a home-made boat
      Dm                                     F
And fly across the desert on a ten pound note
            C                  E7                 Am      C7
I could do most anything if everywhere I go
              F             Fm         C
I could take your love with me

                   C                                           Edim
Oh, I could tame the wildest animals with just one stare
      Dm                                          F
I'd even take my chances with a polar bear
             C                  E7                Am         C7
I could be in mortal danger, but I wouldn't care
                 F             Fm         C
If I could take your love with me

                     F                 C
And so you made me a promise
                           F                C
That you would always be around
                         Adim               C
And you would stay true and honest
                  Am                     C
Because I need you in my pocket, 
              F
In my heart and in my head
               D                                            
So I just had to find a way to take you 
     G                            Gdim  G
     everywhere I went

                     C                                     Edim
And so you bought a ukulele with a message inside
                        Dm                                          F
That I should always have it with me, never leave it behind
                C                   E7                  Am               C7
And now everywhere I play it I will keep you in mind
                F             Fm         C
So I can take your love with me
                  F              Fm         C
And I can take your love with me
                  F              Fm         C  G  C
And I can take your love with me

Oh, kiss me out of the bearded barley
           Cmaj7                                       C
Nightly, beside the green, green grass
                       Cmaj7                            C7
Swing, swing, swing the spinning step
                                                               F
You'll wear those shoes and I will wear that dress.

Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
G                 C                 C7        F
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
G                          C                              Em
Lift your open hand, Strike up the band
          Am                           G
And make the fireflies dance
                             F
Silver moon's sparkling
So kiss me.

C Cmaj7 C7 Cmaj7

C         Cmaj7
Kiss me down by the broken treehouse
                Cmaj7                       C
Swing me upon its hanging tyre

Bring, bring, bring your flowered hat
                                                                 F
We'll take the trail marked on your father's map

       Dm    G        C                Am          Dm
Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
G                 C                 C7        F

Go All The Way - Raspberries


Written by Eric Carmen 

The song reached the Top 5 on three principal U.S. charts, #5 on the Billboard Hot 100, #4 on Cashbox and #3 on Record World. The tune sold more than 1.3 million copies and earned the band their first Gold Record Award. It was their second single release, their all-time biggest U.S. hit, and appeared on their debut LP, Raspberries.
Because of its sexually suggestive lyrics, considered risqué for the day, the song was banned by the BBC.
