Eleanor Rigby Lennon/McCartney, 1966 YouTube video tutorial: http://youtu.be/NT2WfucCyg0

[DELIBERATE: D-PLUCK

-D-PLUCK

]

VERSE 1:

Eleanor Rigby, picks up the rice

In the church where a wedding has been

Lives in a dream Waits at the window, wearing the face

That she keeps in a jar by the door

Who is it for?

VERSE 2: Am Father McKenzie, writing the words F Of a sermon that no one will hear Am No one comes near

Look at him working, darning his socks F In the night when there’s nobody there Am What does he care?

VERSE 3: Am Eleanor Rigby died in the church F And was buried along with her name Am Nobody came

Father McKenzie, wiping the dirt F From his hands as he walks from the grave Am No one was saved

OUTRO: Am

INTRO:

Ah, look at all the lonely people

Ah, look at all the lonely people

CHORUS:

All the lonely people,

where do they all come from?

All the lonely people,

where do they all belong?

Achy Breaky Heart Don Von Tress, 1991 (Billy Ray Cyrus, 1992) YouTube video tutorial: http://youtu.be/7KHeeWbRZlU

VERSE 1: You can tell the world - you never was my girl You can burn my clothes - when I’m gone

Oh, you can tell your friends - just what a fool I've been And laugh and joke about me on the phone

You can tell my arms - go back onto the farm You can tell my feet to hit the floor

Or you can tell my lips - to tell my fingertips They won't be reaching out for you no more

VERSE 2:

You can tell your ma - I moved to Arkansas

Or you can tell your dog to bite my leg

Go tell your brother Cliff - whose fist can tear my lip

He never really liked me anyway

Or tell your Aunt Louise - tell anything you please

My self already knows I'm not ok

And you can tell my eyes - to watch out for my mind

It might be walkin' out on me today

INTRO: [EVEN STRUM: D-DUDUDU] | X X X X | X X X X | X X X X | X X X X|

CHORUS: Don't tell my heart - my achy breaky heart I just - don't - think he'd understand

And if you tell my heart - my achy breaky heart He might - blow - up and kill this man

Oooooooohhhhhhhh!
