G D
When I was a young boy,
Em D
My father took me into the
Am C D (Dsus optional)
city to see a marching band.
G D
He said,Son when you grow up,
Em D Am C D
would you be the saviour of the broken, the beaten and the damned?
G D
He said Will you defeat them,
Em D Am C D
your demons, and all the non believers, the plans that they have made?
G D
Because one day I'll leave you,
Em D
A phantom to lead you in the
Am C D
summer, to join the black parade.
[Instrumental]
G D Em D Am C D
[Verse]
G D Em D
Sometimes I get the feeling she's watching over me.
Am C D (Dsus)
And other times I feel like I should go.
G D Em D
And through it all, the rise and fall, the bodies in the streets.
Am C D
And when you're gone we want you all to know.
[Chorus]
G D
We'll carry on,
Em D
We'll carry on
Am C
And though you're dead and gone believe me
D
Your memory will
G D
carry on
Em D
We'll carry on
Am C
And in my heart I can't contain it
D
The anthem won't explain it.
[Verse]
G D Em D
A woman sends you reeling from decimated dreams
Am C D
Your misery and hate will kill us all.
G D
So paint it black and take it back
Em D
Lets shout it loud and clear
Am C
Defiant to the end
D
We hear the call
[Chorus]
G D
To carry on
Em D
We'll carry on
Am C
And though you're dead and gone believe me
D
Your memory will
G D
Carry on
Em D
We'll carry on
Am C
And though you're broken and defeated
D
Your weary widow marches
[Bridge]
Em Am
On and on we carry through the fears
Ooh oh ohhhh
Em Am
Disappointed faces of your peers
Ooh oh ohhhh
C D
Take a look at me cause I could not care at all
G
Do or die
D
You'll never make me
Em D
Because the world, will never take my heart
Am C
You can try, you'll never break me
D D
You want it all, you wanna play this part
G
I won't explain or
D
Say I'm sorry
Em D
I'm unashamed, I'm gonna show my scar
Am
Give a cheer, for all the broken
D
Listen here, because it's who we are
G D
I'm just a man, I'm not a hero
Em D
I'm just a boy, who's meant to sing this song
Am
I'm just a man, I'm not a hero
D D D
I -- don't -- care
[Chorus]
G D
We'll carry on
Em D
We'll carry on
Am C
And though you're dead and gone believe me

Your memory will

Carry on

You'll carry on

Your weary widow marches on

Let it go until our roads will change,
Singing we found love in a local rave

No I don't really know what I'm supposed to say,
But I can just figure it out and hope and pray

I told her my name, I said it's nice to meet you,
Then she handed me a bottle of water filled with tequila

I already know she's a keeper, just from this one small act of kindness, I'm in

Not sobering up we sit on the couch

Most likely to settle down, plant a few roots real deep and let ‘em grow
G
We can’t stop this real world from spinning us
Am
Your bright lights called, I don’t blame you for picking up
Em C
Your big dream bags are all packed up and ready to go
But I just need you to know
[Chorus]
G
That I love you more than a California sunset
Am
More than a beer when you ain’t 21 yet
Em C
More than a Sunday morning Lord turnin' some poor lost souls 'round, Hallelujah bound
G
Yeah, I love you more than a feeling when a bass hits the hook
Am
When the guy gets the girl at the end of the book
Em C
But baby, this might be the last time I get to lay you down
G
Cause I can’t love you more than my hometown
[Verse 2]
G
I ain’t the runaway kind, I can’t change that

City sky ain’t the same black

Ain't that a map dot shame, man, to think that

I love you more than a California sunset

When the guy gets the girl at the end of the book
Em C
But baby, this might be the last time I get to lay you down
G
Cause I can’t love you more than my hometown
[Verse 3]

Yeah, You got a wild in your eyes that I just wasn’t born with
Am
I’m a same gas station cup of coffee in the mornin'
Em C
I need a house on the hill, girl, not in ‘em so hang onto these words
till them avenues help you forget ‘em

G
Cause I love you more than a California sunset
Am
I love you more in a twenty dollar sun dress
Em
Hate that loaded down car you got your keys in, girl
C
But I hate even more that you’re leaving
G
Cause I love you more than a feeling when a bass hits a hook
Am
When the guy gets the girl at the end of the book
Em C
But that ain’t you and me so I guess I’ll just see you around
G
Cause I can’t love you more than my hometown
Am
Love you more than my hometown

You know I like my chicken fried

A cold beer on a Friday night
A
A pair of jeans that fit just right
E B E
And the radio up
E B A E B
E
Well, I was raised up
B A
Beneath the shade of a Georgia pine
B
And that's home you know
E B A
Sweet tea, pecan pie and homemade wine

Where the peaches grow
E B A B
And my house it's not much to talk about

But it's filled with love

That's grown in southern ground
Chorus

And a little bit of chicken fried

Cold beer on a Friday night

A pair of jeans that fit just right

Well, I've seen the sunrise

See the love in my woman's eyes

Feel the touch of a precious child

And know a mother's love

It's funny how it's the little things in life
B
That mean the most
E B
Not where you live or what you drive
A B
Or the price tag on your clothes

There's no dollar sign on a piece of mind
A B
This I've come to know
E B
So if you agree, have a drink with me

Raise your glasses for a toast
Chorus

To a little bit of chicken fried

Cold beer on a Friday night

A pair of jeans that fit just right

I thank God for my life

And for the stars and stripes

May freedom forever fly

Let it ring

Salute the ones who died

The ones that give their lives

So we don't have to sacrifice

All the things we love

G#m E
I look up from the ground to see your sad and teary eyes
B F#/A#
You look away from me and I see there’s something you're trying to hide
G#m E
And I, reach for your hand but it's cold, you pull away again
B F#/A#
And I, wonder, what’s on your mind-ind-ind
[Pre-chorus]
E G#m
And then you say to me “you made a dumb mistake”
F# F#
You start to tremble and your voice begins to break
E G#m
You say the cigarettes on the counter weren’t your friends, they were my mates
F# F#
And I feel the colour draining from my face
N.C.
And my friends said…
[Chorus]
G#m E
I know you love her but it’s over mate
B F#/A#
It doesn’t matter, put the phone away
G#m E
It’s never easy to walk away
B F#/A#
But let her go oh oh oh
N.C.
It’ll be alright
[Verse 2]
G#m E
So I asked to look back at all the messages you’d sent
B F#/A#
And I know it wasn’t right but it was fucking with my head
G#m E
And everything deleted like the past year was gone
B F#/A#
And when I touched your face I could tell you're moving on
[Pre-chorus]
E G#m
But it’s not the fact that you kissed him yesterday
F# F#
It’s the feeling of betrayal, that I just can't seem to shake
E G#m
And everything I know tells me that I should walk away
F# F#
But I just want to stay…
N.C.
And my friends said…
[Chorus]
G#m E
I know you love her but it’s over mate
B F#/A#
It doesn’t matter, put the phone away
G#m E
It’s never easy to walk away
B F#/A#
But let her go oh oh oh
N.C.
It’ll be okay
G#m E
It's gonna hurt for a bit of time
B F#/A#
So, bottoms up, let’s forget tonight
G#m E
You’ll find another and you’ll be just fine
B F#
Let her go oh oh oh
[Bridge]
G#m E
But nothing heals
B F#
The past like time
G#m E
And they can't steal
B F#
The love you’re born to find
G#m E
But nothing heals

The past like time

And they can't steal

The love you’re born to find

I know you love her but it’s over mate

It’s never easy to walk away

Fuck that shit y'all talking 'bout, I'm the
Caught up in all these lights and cameras
But look what that shit did to Hammer
Goddammit it I like it
Bright lights is enticing but look what it did to Tyson
All that money in one night, thirty mill for one fight
But soon as all the money blows, all the pigeons take flight
Fuck the fame, keep cheating on me, what I do, I took her back
Fool me twice, that's my bad, I can't even blame her for that
Enough to make me wanna murder, momma please just get my bail
I know nobody to blame, Kurt Cobain, I did it to myself

Now I got tattoos on my body, psycho es in my lobby
I got haters in the paper, photo shoots with paparazzi
Can't even take my daughter for a walk, see 'em by the corner store
I feel like I'm cornered off enough is enough, I'm calling this off
Who the fuck I'm kidding though, I'm getting high, sitting low
Sliding by in that big body, curtains all in my window
This fame hurt but this chain works, I think back you asked the same person
If this is all you had to deal with, deal with, this shit ain't work
This light work, camera snapping, my eyes hurt
s dying back where I was birthed, fuck your IRIS and the IRS
Get the hell up off your high horse
You got the shit that s die for, dry yours
Why you mad, take the good with the bad
Don't throw the baby out with the bath water
You still alive, still that
you survived, you still getting bigger
Living the life, Vanilla wafers in a villa
Illest alive, Michael Jackson's Thriller

Goodbye Norma Jean, though I never knew you at all

B A E
Your candle burned out long before your legend ever did
Other verses-
Loneliness was tough, the toughest role you ever played
Hollywood created a superstar and pain was the price you paid
And even when you died, oh, the press still hounded you
All the papers had to say was that Marilyn was found in the nude
Goodbye Norma Jean, though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself while those around you crawled
Goodbye Norma Jean, from a young man in the twenty second row
Who sees you as something more than sexual, more than just our Marilyn Monroe

Tight pants points hardly reknown

She was a black-haired beauty with big dark eyes

Way up firm and high
Out past the cornfields where the woods got heavy

Out in the back seat of my '60 Chevy

We weren't in love, oh no, far from it

We weren't searchin' for some pie in the sky summit

We were just young and restless and bored

Livin' by the sword

And we'd steal away every chance we could

To the backroom, to the alley or the trusty woods
I used her, she used me

But neither one cared
We were gettin' our share

I awoke last night to the sound of thunder

How far off I sat and wondered

Started humming a song from 1962

I hope the following will assist!
OK. The numbers on the strings should relate to which finger to use -
't' is thumb, 1,2,3 are 1st, 2nd, 3rd fingers respectively!
So the D chord (xx0232) picked like this
E-------------------|
B-----2-------2-----|
G---1---1---1---1---|
D-t-------t---------|t...... etc
A-------------------|
E-------------------|
The A chord (x02220) like this! nb finger '3' can be left out or played simultaneously with '2'!
E---------------------------|
B-------3-----------3-------|
G-----2---2-------2---2-----|
D---1-------1---1-------1---|
A-t-----------t-------------|t....etc
E---------------------------|
...and so on for the other chords.

I make you believe,
That I've got the key.
So get in the car,
We can ride it,
Wherever you want,
Get inside it,
And you want to steer,
But I'm shifting gears,
I'll take it from here...
...And it goes like this...
[Chorus 2]
[Bridge]
You want to know how to make me smile,
Take control, own me just for the night,
But if I share my secret,
You're gonna have to keep it,
Nobody else can see this.
So watch and learn,
I won't show you twice,
Head to toe, ooh baby, rub me right.
But if I share my secret,
You're gonna have to keep it,
Nobody else can see this.
...And it goes like this...
[Chorus 3]
[Verse 1]C G F G

Until the sky falls down on me...
[Verse 2]
And when the stars are shining brightly in the velvet sky,
I'll make a wish send it to heaven then make you want to cry..
The tears of joy for all the pleasure and the certainty.
That we're surrounded by the comfort and protection of..

Somewhere far from home, in the danger zone
How many times did I tell ya fo it finally got through
You lose, you lose

No more wastin' time, you can't wait for life

But I'm not lovin' you, the way I wanted to
Gotta keep it goin', keep the lovin' goin'
Keep it on a roll, only God knows
If I be with you, baby I'm confused
You choose, you choose

Where I wanna go, I don't need you
I've been down this road, too many times before
I'm not lovin' you, the way I wanted to

I never cared too much for love

it was all a bunch of mush that I just did not want
Dm
paid was the issue of the day
B
if a girlfriend's got some game
A G
Couldn't be more fly, gettin paid was everything
C A Dm
but I'm not every girl and I don't need that world to validate me
B A Dm
cuz shorty's got a job, shorty's got a car, shorty can pay her own rent
B A
Don't wanna dance if it is not in my heart
Dm
most girls want a man with the bling bling
got my own thing, got the ching ching
B A
I just want real love
Dm
most girls want a man with the mean green
don't wanna dance if he can't be
B
everything that I dream of
A
a man that understands real love
Dm
I was a girl about the floss
B A
it was all about the cost, how much he spent on me
Dm
seek for a man who's got the means
B
to be givin you diamond rings
A G
it's what every fly girl could want or even dream
C A Dm
but I'm not every girl and I don't need no G to take care of me

'cuz shorty's got a job, shorty's got a car, shorty can pay her own rent

How we met and the sparks flew instantly

People would say, they're the lucky ones

I used to know my place was a spot next to you

Now I'm searching the room for an empty seat

'Cause lately I don't even know what page you're on

Miscommunications lead to fall out

So many things that I wish you knew

So many walls up I can't break through

How I was losing my mind when I saw you here

But you held your pride like you should have held me

Oh, we're scared to see the ending

Why are we pretending this is nothing?

Chords- Em G D A
Repeat throughout the song
Em G
All I care about is money and the city that I'm from
D A
I'ma sip until I feel it, I'ma smoke it till it's done
And I don't really give a f*ck, and my excuse is that I'm young
And I'm only getting older so somebody shoulda told ya
Em G
I'm on one
D A
Yeah, f*ck it, I'm on one
Yeah, I said I'm on one
F*ck it, I'm on one
A strong one
Two white cups and I got that drink
It could be purple, it could be pink
Depending on how you mix that sh*t
Money that we got, never get that sh*t
Cause I'm on one
F*ck it I'm on one
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
You know what I'm like, oh yes, oh yeah
Oh yes, Oh yeah
Oh yes, Oh yeah
You know what I'm sippin, I teach you how to mix it
But you're the only one, cause I don't trust these b*tches
I don't, I don't trust these b*tches
They might catch me slippin'
So you're the only one, cause I don't trust these b*tches
They might, they might catch me slippin' and put in something different
So you're the only one
Cause I don't trust these b*tches
I don't, I don't trust these b*tches
They might catch me slippin'
So you're the only one
Oh Ooooh, trust issues
Oh Ooooh, trust issues
Oh Ooooh, trust issues
Oh Oooo ooooo ooh
Oh yeh, oh yeh
Let's call up I'm drinkin, let's all get wasted
I'm drinkin', let's all get faded
Drizzy Drake, check me out
Coming live from the the muthaf*cking north side
Kick game, run game, run it real good
But never ever have my b*tches sittin' courtside
Same n*gga that you knew way back when
You actin' like it's somebody you don't know
Tell me how the f*ck we supposed to stay friends
When you got a bunch of feelings that you don't show
I can tell, I can tell, I can tell certain people don't like me no more
New sh*t don't excite me no more
Guess they don't really make 'em like me no more
Uh, you can look me in my eyes and see I ain't myself
Cause if ya what I created then I hate myself
But still, let them girls in,
And tell 'em all leave their cell phones on the table where we see 'em
I'm all day with it man, AM to the PM
N*ggas hatin', I just wish they would say it when I see em all
That's that sh*t that drives me crazy
And it's all that I've been gettin' lately
And it's probably why I'm scared to put the time in
Women wanna f*ck like they're me and I'm them
Looking for some things that I think I can find in you, in you
Oh Ooooh, trust issues
Oh Ooooh, trust issues
Oh Ooooh, trust issues
Oh Oooo ooooo oh
Oh yeh, oh yeh
Lets call up I'm drinkin', let's all get wasted
I'm drinkin', let's all get faded
Oh yeh, oh yeh

Verse-
Bm F#7
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
A E7
Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air
G D
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
Em F#7
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim; I had to stop for the night.
Bm F#7
There she stood in the doorway; I heard the mission bell
A E7
And I was thinking to myself, This could be Heaven or this could be Hell
G D
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
Em F#7
There were voices down the corridor I thought I heard them say...
Chorus-
G D
Welcome to the Hotel California...
F#7 Bm F#7(on C#)Bm(on D)
Such a lovely place,(such a lovely place)such a lovely face...
G D
Plenty of room at the Hotel California...
Em F#7
Any time of year,(any time of year)you can find it here...
Verse-
Bm F#7
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes Bends
A E7
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends
G D
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat
Em F#7
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
Bm F#7
So I called up the Captain, Please bring me my wine
A E
He said, We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine
G D
And still those voices are calling from far away,
Em F#7
Wake you up in the middle of the night just to hear them say...
Chorus-
G D
Welcome to the Hotel California...
F#7 Bm F#7(on C#)Bm(on D)
Such a lovely place,(such a lovely place)such a lovely face...
G D
They livin' it up at the Hotel California...
Em F#7
What a nice surprise,(what a nice surprise)bring your alibis...
Verse-
Bm F#7
Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne on ice
A E7
And she said We are all just prisoners here, of our own device
G
And in the master's chambers, they gathered for the feast
Em
They stab it with their steely knives, but they just can't kill the beast
Bm F#7
Last thing I remember, I was running for the door
A E7
I had to find the passage back to place I was before
G D
Relax said the night man, We are programmed to receive.
Em F#7
You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.

F Bb F C F Bb F C
Spread out now Rosie doctor come cut loose her momma's reins
You know playing blind man's bluff is a little baby's game
You pick up little dynamite - I'll pick up little gun
Together we're gonna go out tonight and make that highway run
Bb Am Dm
You don't have to call me lieutenant Rosie and I don't wanna be your son
C Bb
The only lover I'm ever gonna need you're some sweet little girl's tongue
C11 C C11 C C11 C C 11 C (quickly)
Ah Rosie you're the one
F Bb F C F Bb F C
Dynamite's in the Belfry baby playing with the bats
Little gun's downtown in front of Woolworths trying out his attitude on the cats
Papa's on the corner - waiting for the bus
Mommas home in the window - waiting up for us
She'll be there in that chair 'till they wrestle her upstairs cause you know we
ain't gonna come
I ain't here on business baby I'm only here for fun
And Rosie you're the one
[Chorus-]
F Bb F C F Bb
Rosalita jump a little lighter - Senorita come sit by my fire
I just wanna be your lover ain't no lie - Rosalita you're my strong desire
Jack-the -rabbit and weak-knee'd-Willie you know they're gonna be there
Sloppy Sue and big-bones-Billy they'll be comin' up for air
They're gonna play some pool - skip some school
act real cool - stay out all night - it's gonna be alright
(C) Gm C Csus4 C Csus2 C
So Rosie come out tonight - oh baby come out tonight
Windows are for cheaters - chimneys for the poor
Closets are for hangers - winners use the door
So use it Rosie - that's what it's there for
(CHORUS)
C Gm
And I know your momma she don't like me 'cuz I play in a rock and roll band
Dm Am
And I know your daddy he don't dig me but he never did understand
F Gm
Your poppa lowered the boom - he locked you in your room - I'm comin' to lend a
hand
Dm Am
I'm coming to liberate you - confiscate you - I want to be your man
Bb C F Am
Some day we'll look back on this and it will all seem funny
Dm Bb
But now you're sad - your mommas mad and your
(no chords)
Poppa says he knows that I don't have any money (oh your)
Poppa says he knows that I don't have any money
Poppa says he knows that I don't have any money
Gm Eb Bb
Well tell him this is his last chance - to get his daughter in a fine romance
C11 C C11 C C11 C C11 C (quickly)
Because the record company Rosie - just gave me a big advance
And my tires were slashed and I almost crashed but the lord had mercy
My machine she's dud stuck in the mud somewhere in the swamps of Jersey
Hold on tight stay up all night Rosie I'm coming on strong
By the time we meet the morning light I will hold you in my arms
I know a pretty little place in Southern California down San Diego way
There's a little cafe - where they play guitar all night and all day
You can hear 'em in the back room strummin'
So hold tight baby 'cuz don't you know daddy's coming
(CHORUS)
