2,4,6,8 Motorway – Tom Robinson Band

G D Drive my truck midway to the motorway station

C D G Fair-lane cruiser coming up on the left hand side

D Headlights shining, driving rain on the window frame

C D G Little young lady stardust hitching a ride

Chorus G D And it's two four six eight, never too late

C D G Me and my radio trucking on through the night

G D Three five seven nine, on a little white line

C D G Motorway sun coming up with the morning light.

Whizz-kid sitting pretty on your two wheels stallion This old ten ton lorry got a bead on you Ain't no use setting up with a bad companion Ain't nobody got the better of you know who.

Chorus repeat

Well, there ain't no route you can choose to lose the two of us Ain't nobody know when you're acting right or wrong No one knows if a roadway's leading nowhere Gonna keep on driving on the road I'm on.

Chorus repeat ad infinitum.

Stan Jones, The Outlaws ­ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFjqlx8eSfQ

[Am] An old cowboy went riding out one [C] dark and windy day [Am] Upon a ridge he rested as he [C] went along his [E7] way [Am] When all at once a mighty herd of red­eyed cows he saw [F] Plowing through the ragged skies and [Am] up a cloudy draw

Yipie i­[C]oh Yipie i­ [Am]ay [F] ghost riders in the [Am] sky

[Am] Their brands were still on fire and their  [C] hooves were made of steel Their [Am] horns were black and shiny and their [C] hot breath he could [E7] feel A [Am] bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky [F] For he saw the riders coming hard and he[Am] heard their mournfulcry

Yipie i­[C]oh Yipie i­ [Am]ay [F] ghost riders in the [Am] sky

[Am] Their faces gaunt their eyes were blurred and their [C] shirts all soaked with sweat He’s [Am] riding hard to catch that herd but [C] he ain't caught 'em [E7] yet Cause [Am] they've got to ride forever on that range up in the sky On [F] horses snorting fire as they [Am] ride on hear their cry

[Am] As the riders loped on by him he [C] heard one call his name If you [Am] want to save your soul from hell a [C] riding on our [E7] range Then [Am] cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride [F] Trying to catch the devil’s herd [Am] across these endless skies

House of the Rising Sun [Am]The Animals

Riffs at end of verse are last two lines of verse again - after Am

There is a house in New Or leans They call the Rising Sun And it’s been the ruin of many a poor boy And God I know I'm one

My mother was a tailor She sewed my new blue jeans My father was a gambling man

Down in New Or leans

Now the only thing a gambler needs Is a suitcase and a trunk And the only time he’s satis fied Is when he’s all a- drunk

Oh mother tell your chil dren Not to do what I have done

Spend your lives in sin and mise ry In the house of the Rising Sun

Well I got one foot on the platform And the other foot on the train I’m going back to New Or leans To wear that ball and chain

There is a house in New Or leans They call the Rising Sun And it’s been the ruin of many a poor boy And God I know I’m one

Maggie May (Trad arr The Spinners)

Now [D] gather round me sailor boys and [G] listen to me plea,

And [D] when you hear me tale you’ll pity [A] me

For I [D] was a ruddy fool in the [G] port of Liverpool

The [D] first time that I came [A] home from [D] sea

I was [G] paid off at the Home, from a [D] voyage to Sierra Leone:

Two pounds ten and sixpence was me [A] pay.

With a [D] pocket full of tin I was [G] very soon taken in

By a [A] girl with the name of Maggie [D] May

Oh, [G] Maggie Maggie May they have [D] taken her away

And she'll never walk down Lime Street any [A]more.

She [D] robbed so many sailors and [G] captains of the whalers

That [D]dirty robbing [A] no good Maggie [D] May

Oh [D] well do I remember when I first [G] met Maggie May,

She was [D] cruising up and down Old Canning [A] Place,

She'd a [D] figure so divine, like a [G] frigate of the line,

And me [D] being a [A]sailor I gave [D] chase.

Next [G] morning I awoke, I was [D] flat and stoney broke,

No jacket, trousers, waistcoat could I [A] find.

When I [D] asked her where they were, she [G] said "My very dear sir,

They're [D] down in Kelly's [A] Pawnshop number [D] nine!"

instrumental : D G D A D G D-A D

To the [G] pawnshop I did go but no [D] clothes there did I find,

And the policeman came and took that girl [A] away,

The [D] judge he guilty found her of [G] robbing a homeward bounder,

And [D] paid her passage [A] back to Botany [D] Bay

Sixteen TonsTennessee Ernie Ford

Tennessee Ernie Ford - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3I15_KUsOzs sorta with capo on 2

Do do do do do do do do

Some people say a man is made out of mud, a poor man’s made out of muscle and blood.

Muscle and blood and skin and bones, a mind that’s weak and a back that’s strong

You load sixteen tons and what do you get? An other day older and deeper in debt St. Peter, don’t you call me ‘cause I can’t go. I owe my soul to the company’s store.

Well, I was born one morning when the sun didn’t shine, I picked up my shovel and walked to the mine I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal, and the straw boss said, “Well, bless my soul!”

You load sixteen tons and what do you get? An other day older and deeper in debt St. Peter, don’t you call me ‘cause I can’t go. I owe my soul to the company’s store.

Well, I was born one morning it was drizzlin’ rain, fightin’ and trouble are my middle name

I was raised in the canebreak by an old mamma lion, can’t no high-toned woman make me walk the line

You load sixteen tons and what do you get? An other day older and deeper in debt St. Peter, don’t you call me ‘cause I can’t go. I owe my soul to the company’s store.

If you see me comin’ better step aside, a lot of men didn’t and a lot of men died One fist of iron and the other of steel, if the right one doesn’t get you then the left one will.

You load sixteen tons and what do you get? An other day older and deeper in debt St. Peter, don’t you call me ‘cause I can’t go. I owe my soul to the company’s store.

Leaving of Liverpool (trad) C F C

Fare thee well the Prince's Landing Stage, C F G

River Mersey, fare you well C F C

For I'm bound for Californ-i-ay, C G C

That's a place I know right well

G F C So, fare thee well, my own true love

C F G And when I return united we will be

C F C It's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me, C G C But my darling when I think of thee.

Oh, I'm bound away to leave you By the way of the stormy Cape Horn But I will write you a letter, love, When I am homeward bound

I have shipped on a Yankee clipper ship 'Davy Crockett' is her name; And Burgess, he is the captain of her And they say she's a floating shame

Well, I've shipped with Burgess once before, And I reckon I know him well. If a man's a sailor, well, he'll get along, If he's not, well, he's sure in hell.

Oh, the tug is waiting by the old Pier Head For to take us down the stream And the anchor is weighed; the sails they are set So farewell, my love, farewell.

And fare thee well to Lower Frederick Street Anson terrace, and old Park Lane Oh, I know it's going to be a long, long time before I see you again

The Weight (Robbie Robertson/The Band)

G Bm C G I pulled in to Nazareth, I was feeling about half past dead. G Bm C G I just need some place where I can lay my head. G Bm C G "Hey, Mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?" G Bm C G He just grinned, shook my hand, "No" was all he said.

G G/F# C Take a load off, Fanny. G G/F# C Take a load for free. G G/F# C Take a load off, Fanny. C Csus4 C G G/F# Em7 D C And...And...And.you put the load right on me.

I picked up my bag. I went looking for a place to hide. When I saw Carmen and the devil walking side by side. I said, "Hey, Carmen, come on. Let's go downtown." She said, "I got to go, but my friend can stick around."

Go down, Miss Moses, there's nothing you can say. It's just old Luke, and Luke's waiting on the judgement day. "Well, Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee?" He said, "Do me a favor, son, won't you stay and keep Anna Lee company."

Crazy Chester followed me and he caught me in the fog. He said, "I will fix your rack, if you'll take Jack my dog." I said, "Wait a minute, Chester. You know I'm a peaceful man." He said, "That's okay, boy. Won't you feed him when you can?"

Get your Canonball now, to take me down the line. My bag is sinking low, and I do believe it's time

31

To get back to Miss Fanny. You know she's the only one Who sent me here with her regards for everyone.
