[G] I hear the train a comin´, it´s [G] rolling round the bend
And I ain´t seen the sunshine since [G7] I don´t know when
I´m [C] stuck in Folsom prison, and [C] time keeps draggin´ [G] on
But that [D7] train keeps a rollin´ on down to San [G] Anton
When[G] I was just a baby my [G] mama told me. Son
Always [G] be a good boy, don´t [G7] ever play with guns
But I [C] shot a man in Reno just to watch him [G] die
When I [D7] hear that whistle, I hang my head and [G] cry
….. [E7] [INTO KEY CHANGE]
I [A] bet there´s rich folks eating in a [A] fancy dining car
They´re [A] probably drinkin´ coffee and [A7] smoking big cigars
Well I [D] know I had it coming, [D]I know I can´t be [A] free
But those [E7] people keep a movin, and that´s what tortures [A] me
Well [A] if they´d free me from this prison,
if that [A] railroad train was mine
I [A] bet I´d move on over a little [A7] further down the line
[D] Far from Folsom prison, that's [D] where I want to [A] stay
And I´d [E7] let that lonesome whistle blow my blues [A] away
[A] I hear the train a comin´, it´s [A] rolling round the bend
And I ain´t seen the sunshine since [A7] I don´t know when
I´m [D] stuck in Folsom prison, and [D] time keeps draggin´ [A] on
But that [E7] train keeps a rollin´ on down to San [A] Anton

You Never Can Tell – Chuck Berry
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RoDPPgWbfXY
It was a [C] teenage wedding, and the old folks wished them well.
You could see that Pierre did truly love the mademoi[G7]selle.
And now the young monsieur and madam have rung the chapel bell,
'C'est la vie', say the old folks, it goes to show you never can [C] tell. [G7]
They furnished [C] off an apartment with a two room Roebuck sale.
The coolerator was crammed with TV dinners and ginger [G7] ale.
But when Pierre found work, the little money comin' worked out well.
'C'est la vie', say the old folks, it goes to show you never can [C] tell. [G7]
They had a [C] hi-fi phono, oh boy, did they let it blast.
Seven hundred little records, all rock, rhythm and [G7] jazz.
But when the sun went down, the rapid tempo of the music fell.
'C'est la vie', say the old folks, it goes to show you never can [C] tell. [G7]
They bought a [C] souped-up jitney, 'twas a cherry red '53.
They drove it down New Orleans to celebrate their anniversa[G7]ry.
It was there that Pierre was married to the lovely mademoiselle.
C'est la vie', say the old folks, it goes to show you never can [C] tell.

Any Dream Will Do
(Andrew Lloyd-Webber) - Joseph’s Technicolour Dreamcoat
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VeSYfO2mBoI (but in G# so capo on 1)
Intro: [G]
I closed my [G] eyes, [D] drew back the [G] curtain [C]
To see for [G] certain [D] what I thought I [G] knew [D]
Far far a[G]way, [D] someone was [G] weeping [C]
But the world was [G] sleeping [D]
Any dream will [G] do [D]
I wore my [G] coat, [D] with golden [G] lining [C]
Bright colours [G] shining, [D] wonderful and [G] new [D]
And in the [G] east, [D] the dawn was [G] breaking [C]
And the world was [G] waking [D]
Any dream will [G] do [G7]
[C] A crash of drums, a flash of light, My golden coat flew out of sight
The [G] colours faded [Em] into darkness, [A7] I was left a[D]lone
May I re[G]turn [D] to the be[G]ginning [C]
The light is [G] dimming, [D] and the dream is [G] too [D]
The world and [G] I, [D] we are still [G] waiting [C]
Still hesi[G]tating [D]
Any dream will [G] do [D]

[Am] First I was afraid I was [Dm] petrified
Kept thinking [G] I could never live without you [C] by my side
But then I [F] spent so many nights thinking [Dm] how you did me wrong
And I grew [E] strong and I learned [E7] how to get along
And so you’re back [Am] back from outer [Dm] space
I just walked [G] in to find you here with that sad [C] look upon your face
I should have [F] changed that stupid lock
I should have [Dm] made you leave your key
If I had [E] known for just second you’d be [E7] back to bother me
Go on now [Am] go, walk out the [Dm] door
Just turn [G] around now, cause you’re not [C] welcome anymore
[F] Weren’t you the one who tried to [Dm] hurt me with goodbyes?
Did you think I’d [E] crumble? Did you think I’d [E7] lay down and die?
Oh no not [Am] I, I will [Dm] survive
For as [G] long as I know how to love I [C] know I’ll stay alive
I’ve got [F] all my life to live, I’ve got [Dm] all my love to give
And I’ll [E] survive, I will [E7] survive—hey hey
[Am] [Dm] [G] [C]
[F] [Dm] [E] [E]
It took [Am] all the strength I had not to [Dm] fall apart,
Kept trying [G] hard to mend the pieces of my [C] broken heart
And I spent [F] oh so many nights just feeling [Dm] sorry for myself
I used to [E] cry, but now I [E7] hold my head up high
And you see [Am] me, somebody [Dm] new
I’m not that [G] chained up little person still in [C] love with you
And so you [F] felt like dropping in, and just [Dm] expect me to be free
And now I’m [E] savin’ all my lovin’ for [E7] someone who’s lovin’ me
Go on now [Am] go, walk out the [Dm] door
Just turn [G] around now, cause you’re not [C] welcome anymore
[F] Weren’t you the one who tried to [Dm] hurt me with goodbyes?
Did you think I’d [E] crumble? Did you think I’d [E7] lay down and die?
Oh no not [Am] I, I will [Dm] survive
For as [G] long as I know how to love I [C] know I’ll stay alive

Enjoy Yourself [C]
Carl Sigman - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFxjnUPRwx4 (But in G)
Chorus [between each verse]
[C] Enjoy yourself, it's later than you [G7]think
[G7] Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the [C] pink
The [C] years go by, as [C7] quickly as a [F] wink
[F] Enjoy yourself, [C] enjoy yourself, it's [Dm] later [G7] than you [C] think
[C] You work and work for years and years, you're always on the [G7] go
[G7] You never take a minute off, too busy makin' [C] dough
Some[C]day, you say, you'll have your fun, [C7] when you're a million[F]aire
[F] But tell me how much [C] fun you'll have in your [Dm] old [G7] rockin' [C] chair
[C] You're gonna take that ocean trip, no matter, come what [G7] may
[G7] You've got your reservations made, but you just can't get [C] away
Next [C] year for sure, you'll see the world, [C7] you'll really get [F] around
[F] But how far can you [C] travel when you're six [Dm] feet [G7] under[C] ground?
[C] Your heart of hearts, your dream of dreams, your ravishing [G7] brunette
[G7]She's left you and she's now become somebody else's [C]pet
Lay [C] down that gun, don't try, my friend, [C7] to reach the great [F] beyond
[F] You'll have more fun [C] by reaching for a red [Dm] head [G7] or a [C] blonde
[C] You never go to nightclubs and you just don't care to [G7] dance;
[G7] You don't have time for silly things like moonlight and ro[C]mance.
You [C] only think of dollar bills tied [C7] neatly in a [F] stack;
[F] But when you kiss a [C] dollar bill, it doesn't [Dm]kiss [G7] you [C] back.
[C] You love somebody very much You'd like to set the [G7] date
[G7] But money doesn't grow on trees So you decide to [C] wait
You're [C] so afraid that you will bite off [C7] More than you can [F] chew
[F] Don't be afraid, you won't [C] have teeth When you reach [Dm] nine[G7]ty [C]two.

Spoof - Blame the Ukulele (Boogie)
A great spoof done by Stuart Jebbit at http://www.arttogethernow.co.uk
Strum pattern – Clip, down up.
My [Em] baby's always strummin' and it [G] wouldn't be a bad thing,
But [Em] I don't get no loving and [C] that's no [G] lie.
We [Em] spent the night in Frisco at [G] every kind of disco,
And [C] from that night I kissed our love good[D]bye.
Don't blame it on [G] sunshine, don't blame it on [Eb] moonlight,
Don’t blame it on the [F] good times, blame the Uku[G]lele! (2x)
That [Em] Ukulele bugs me, but [G] somehow it has drugged me,
Em] Spellbound rhythm gets me [C] on my [G] feet.
I've [Em] changed my life completely, I've [G] seen the lightning leave me,
My [C] baby just can't take her eyes off [D] me.
Chorus:
[G] I just can't, [Em] I just can't, [C] I just can't con[G]trol my feet! (x2)
Chorus
This [Em] magic music grooves me, that [G] dirty rhythm moves me,
The [Em] devil's gotten to me [C] through this [Em] dance.
I'm [Em] full of funky fever, a [G] fire burns inside me,
[C] Ukuleles got me in a [D] trance.
Chorus
[G] Sunshine, [Eb] moonlight, [F] good times, [G] boogie !!
Repeat last line many times until sick of it and fade to END.

and she laughed no [Am] more [G7]
[C] My, my, my, De-[G]-lilah
[G] Why, why, [G7] why, De-[C]-lilah
[C] So be-[C7]-fore they [F] come to break down the [Dm] door
[C] Forgive me, Delilah, I [G] just couldn't take any [C] more [E7]

[G] Why, why, [G7] why, De-[C]-lilah
[C] So be-[C7]-fore they [F] come to break down the [Dm] door
[C] Forgive me, Delilah, I [G] just couldn't take any [C] more
