A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall - Bob Dylan

[F] [Bb] [F]

Oh, [F] where have you been, my [Bb] blue-eyed [F] son? And [F] where have you been, my darling young [C] one? I've [Bb] stumbled on the side of [C] twelve misty [F] mountains, I've [Bb] walked and I've crawled on [C] six crooked [F] highways, I've [Bb] stepped in the middle of [C] seven sad [F] forests, I've [Bb] been out in front of a [C] dozen dead [F] oceans, I've been [Bb] ten thousand miles in the [C] mouth of a [F] graveyard,

And it's a [F] hard, and it's a [C] hard, it's a [F] hard, and it's a [Bb] hard, And it's a [F] hard rai-[C]-ain's a-gonna [F] fall [Bb] [F]

Oh, [F] what did you see, my [Bb] blue-eyed [F] son? Oh, [F] what did you see, my darling young [C] one? I saw a [Bb] newborn babe with [C] wild wolves all a-[F]round it I saw a [Bb] highway of diamonds with [C] nobody [F] on it, I [Bb] saw a black branch with [C] blood that kept [F] drippin', I saw a [Bb] room full of men with their [C] hammers a-[F]bleedin', I [Bb] saw a white ladder all [C] covered with [F] water, I saw [Bb] ten thousand talkers whose [C] tongues were all [F] broken, I saw [Bb] guns and sharp swords in the [C] hands of young [F] children,

And it's a [F] hard, and it's a [C] hard, it's a [F] hard, it's a [Bb] hard, It’s a [F] hard rai-[C]-ain's a-gonna [F] fall [Bb] [F]

And [F] what did you hear, my [Bb] blue-eyed [F] son? And [F] what did you hear, my darling young [C] one? I heard the [Bb] sound of a thunder, it [C] roared out a [F] warnin', Heard the [Bb] roar of a wave that could [C] drown the whole [F] world, Heard [Bb] one hundred drummers, their [C] hands were a-[F]-

blazin', Heard [Bb] ten thousand whisperin' and [C] nobody [F] listenin', Heard [Bb] one person starve, I heard [C] many people [F] laughin', Heard the [Bb] song of a poet who [C] died in the [F] gutter, Heard the [Bb] sounds of a clown who [C] cried in the [F] alley, Heard the [Bb] sound of one person who [C] said he was [F] human,

And it's a [F] hard, it's a [C] hard, it's a [F] hard, it's a [Bb] hard, And it's a [F] hard rai-[C]-ain's a-gonna [F] fall [Bb][F]

Oh, [F] who did you meet, my [Bb] blue-eyed [F] son? [F] Who did you meet, my darling young [C] one? I [Bb] met a young child be-[C]side a dead [F] pony, I [Bb] met a white man who [C] walked a black [F] dog, I [Bb] met a woman whose [C] body was [F] burning, I [Bb] met a young girl, she [C] gave me a [F] rainbow, I [Bb] met one man who was [C] wounded in [F] love, I [Bb] met another man who was [C] wounded in hatred,

And it's a [F] hard, it's a [C] hard, it's a [F] hard, it's a [Bb] hard, It’s a [F] hard rai-[C]-ain's a-gonna [F] fall [Bb] [F]

And [F] what'll you do now, my [Bb] blue-eyed [F] son? Oh, [F] what'll you do now, my darling young [C] one? I'm a-[Bb]goin' back out 'fore the [C] rain starts a-[F]fallin', I'll [Bb] walk to the depths of the [C] deepest black [F] forest, Where the [Bb] people are many and their [C] hands are all [F] empty, Where the [Bb] pellets of poison are [C] flooding their [F] waters, Where the [Bb] home in the valley meets the [C] damp dirty [F] prison, Where the [Bb] executioner's face is [C] always well [F] hidden, Where [Bb] hunger is ugly, where [C] souls are for-[F]gotten, Where [Bb] black is the color, where [C] none is the [F] number, And I'll [Bb] tell it and think it and [C] speak it and [F] breathe it, And re-[Bb]flect from the mountain so [C] all souls can [F] see it, Then I'll [Bb] stand on the ocean un-[C]til I start [F] sinkin', But I'll [Bb] know my song well be-[C]fore I start [F] singin',

And it's a [F] hard, it's a [C] hard, it's a [F] hard, it's a [Bb] hard, It’s a [F] hard rai-[C]-ain's a-gonna [F] fall [Bb] [F]

Another Time And Place - Dave van Ronk

1 2 / 1 2 3 4 /

[F] When first I met you [F] years ago, in a-[Bb]nother time and [F] place [F]

A [F] thought came to my [F] mind, I'd never [Bb] seen a kinder [F] face [F]

Or [Dm] warmer laugh, or gentler smile or [Bb] eyes so full of [C] light [Csus4]/[C]

I'd [F] be a fool if I [F] didn't fall in [Bb] love with you that [F] night [F]

When [F] first I met you years ago, in a-[Bb]nother time and [F] place [F]

[F]/[F]/[Bb]/[F]/[F]

We've [F] tramped around the world my dear, our [Bb] fortune was to [F] roam [F]

But [F] each place that I've been with you, that [Bb] place has been my [F] home [F]

If [Dm] now I wander on alone with [Bb] no place to a-[C]bide [Csus4]/[C]

I'll [F] be content, for I was sent, those [Bb] wanderings at your [F] side [F]

[F]/[F]/[Bb]/[F]/[F]/

[F] Love that blossoms in the night can't [Bb] stand the test of [F] time [F]

It [F] ebbs and flows, it comes and goes, no [Bb] reason, reach, nor [F] rhyme [F]

As each [Dm] day becomes another day, each [Bb] year another [C] year [Csus4]/[C]

I'd [F] trade a year in heaven for a [Bb] day with you my [F] dear [F]

[F]/[F]/[Bb]/[F]/[F]

The [F] miles flow on and I am gone, to a [Bb] wild and empty [F] land [F]

[F] Time is like an empty room, and [Bb] space an empty [F] hand [F]

And the [Dm] things we said and the jokes we made

Are [Bb] echoes in the [C] waste [Csus4]/[C]

We'll [F] meet again when hills are green in a-[Bb]nother time and [F] place [F]

Barrett’s Privateers Stan Rogers 1976

INTRO: / 1 2 / [C]

Oh, the [C] year was [F] seventeen [G] seventy-[C]eight

How I [C] wish I [F] was in [C] Sherbrooke [G] now

A [C] letter of [G] marque came [C] from the [F] king

To the [C] scummiest vessel I'd ever [F] seen

God [G] damn them [C] all [C] I was [F] told

We'd [C] cruise the [F] seas for A-[C]merican [F] gold

We'd [G] fire no [C] guns [G] shed no [F] tears

Now I'm a [C] broken [F] man on a [C] Halifax [F] pier

The [F] last of Barrett's [G] Priva-[C]teers

Oh [C] Elcid [F] Barrett [G] cried the [C] town How I [C] wish I [F] was in [C] Sherbrooke [G] now

For [C] twenty brave [G] men, all [C] fishermen [F] who

Would [C] make for him the Antelope's [F] crew






The [C] Antelope [F] sloop was a [G] sickening [C] sight How I [C] wish I [F] was in [C] Sherbrooke [G] now

She'd a [C] list to the [G] port and her [C] sails in [F] rags And the [C] cook in the scuppers with the staggers and [F] jags


We'd [C] cruise the [F] seas for A-[C]merican [F] gold We'd [G] fire no [C] guns [G] shed no [F] tears

Now I'm a [C] broken [F] man on a [C] Halifax [F] pier The [F] last of Barrett's [G] Priva-[C]teers

On the [C] King's birth [F] day we [G] put to [C] sea


We were [C] ninety-one [G] days to Mon-[C]tego [F] Bay

[C] Pumping like madmen all the [F] way






On the [C] ninety-sixth [F] day we [G] sailed a-[C]gain How I [C] wish I [F] was in [C] Sherbrooke [G] now

When a [C] bloody great [G] Yankee [C] hove in [F] sight With our [C] cracked four-pounders we made to [F] fight




The [C] Yankee [F] lay low [G] down with [C] gold


She was [C] broad and [G] fat and [C] loose in [F] stays

But to [C] catch her took the Antelope two whole [F] days




Then at [C] length we [F] stood two [G] cables a-[C]way


Our [C] cracked four-[G]pounders made an [C] awful [F] din

But with [C] one fat ball the Yank stove us [F] in






The [C] Antelope [F] shook and [G] pitched on her [C] side How I [C] wish I [F] was in [C] Sherbrooke [G] now

[C] Barrett was [G] smashed like a [C] bowl of [F] eggs

And the [C] main-truck carried off both me [F] legs




So [C] here I [F] lay in me [G] twenty-third [C] year


It's [C] been six [G] years since we [C] sailed a-[F]way

And I [C] just made Halifax yester-[F]day

Come All Ye Fair and Tender Ladies (Trad.)

[F] Come all ye fair and tender ladies Take warning how you court young [C7] men They’re like a [Gm] star of a summer [F] morning They’ll first ap-[Gm]pear and then they’re [F] gone

[F] They’ll tell to you such lovely stories And make you think that they love you [C7] well And away they’ll [Gm] go and court some [F] other And leave you [Gm] there in grief to [F] dwell

[F] I wish I was a little sparrow And I had wings to fly so [C7] high I’d fly to the [Gm] arms of my false true [F] lover And when he’d [Gm] ask, I would de-[F]ny

[F] Oh love is handsome, love is charming And love is pretty while it’s [C7] new But love grows [Gm] cold as love grows [F] older And fades a-[Gm]way like morning [F]dew

INTRO: / 1 2 / 1 2 / [C] / [C] / [C] / [C]

It's [C] knowin’ that your [CM7] door is always [C6] open And your [CM7] path is free to [Dm] walk [Faug]/[F]/[Faug]

That [Dm] makes me tend to [Faug] leave my sleepin’ [F] bag rolled up

And [G7] stashed behind your [C] couch [CM7]/[C6]/[CM7] And it's [C] knowin’ I'm not [CM7] shackled by for-[C6]gotten words and [CM7] bonds

And the [C] ink stains that have [CM7] dried upon some [Dm] line [Faug]/[F]/ [Faug] That [Dm] keeps you in the [Faug] backroads by the [F] rivers of my [G7] mem'ry

And [Dm] keeps you ever [G7] gentle on my [C] mind [CM7]/[C6]/[CM7]

It's not [C] clingin’ to the [CM7] rocks and ivy [C6] Planted on their [CM7] columns now that [Dm] binds me [Faug]/[F]/[Faug]

Or [Dm] something that some-[Faug]body said Be-[F]cause they thought we’d [G7] fit together [C] walkin' [CM7]/[C6]/[CM7]

It's just [C] knowin’ that the [CM7] world will not be [C6] cursin’ or for-[CM7]givin’ When I [C] walk along some [CM7] railroad track and [Dm] find [Faug]/[F]/[Faug]

Though the [C] wheat fields and the [CM7] clotheslines and the [C6] junkyards And the [CM7] highways come be-[Dm]tween us [Faug]/[F]/[Faug]

And some [Dm] other woman’s [Faug] cryin’ to her [F] mother ‘Cause she [G7] turned and I was [C] gone [CM7]/[C6]/[CM7]

I [C] still might run in [CM7] silence, tears of [C6] joy might stain my [CM7] face And the [C] summer sun might [CM7] burn me 'til I'm [Dm] blind [Faug]/[F]/[Faug]

But [Dm] not to where I [Faug] cannot see you [F] walkin' on the [G7] backroads By the [Dm] rivers flowin’ [G7] gentle on my [C] mind [CM7]/[C6]/[CM7]

I [C] dip my cup of [CM7] soup back from a [C6] gurglin', cracklin' [CM7] cauldron

In some [Dm] trainyard [Faug]/[F]/[Faug] My [Dm] beard a roughnin’ [Faug] coal pile

And a [F] dirty hat pulled [G7] low across my [C] face [CM7]/[C6]/[CM7] Through [C] cupped hands, 'round the [CM7] tin can, I pre-[C6]tend

To hold you [CM7] to my breast and [Dm] find [Faug]/[F]/[Faug]

That you're [Dm] wavin’ from the [Faug] backroads by the [F] rivers of my [G7] mem’ry Ever [Dm] smilin' ever [G7] gentle on my [C] mind [CM7]/[C6]/[CM7]/[C]

IF I SHOULD FALL BEHIND Bruce Springsteen (as sung by Linda Ronstadt)

[A] We said we'd walk together, baby come what may That come the twilight, should we lose our [F#m] way If as we're [D] walking, hands should slip [A] free I'll wait for [F#m] you, should I [D] fall behind, wait for [A] me

[A] We swore we'd travel, darling side by side And we'd help each other, stay in [F#m] stride But each lover's [D] steps fall, so different-[A]ly So I'll wait for [F#m] you, should I [D] fall behind, wait for [A] me

BRIDGE: Now everyone [D] dreams of, love lasting and [A] true But you and [D] I know what this world can [F#m] do Let’s make our [D] steps clear, that the other may [A] see And I'll wait for [F#m] you, should I [D] fall behind, wait for [A] me

[A] Now there's a beautiful river, in the valley ahead There 'neath the oak's bough, soon we’ll be [F#m] wed But should we lose each [D] other in the shadow of the evening [A] trees I'll wait for [F#m] you, should I [D] fall behind, wait for [A] me

Darlin' I'll wait for [F#m] you, should I [D] fall behind, wait for [A] me Darlin' I'll wait for [F#m] you /[D]/[A]/[A]↓

[G] Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waiting for a train

When I's [G] feeling nearly as faded as my [D7] jeans [D7]

[D7] Bobby thumbed a diesel down, just before it rained

[D7] We sang every song that driver knew [D7]

[C] Freedom's just another word for [G] nothing left to lose

[D7] Nothin', it ain't nothing honey, if it ain't [G] free [G]

And [C] feeling good was easy, Lord, [G] when he sang the blues

You know [D7] feeling good was good enough for me [D7]

[D7] Good enough for me and my Bobby [G] McGee /[G]/[A]/[A]

From the [A] Kentucky coal mines, to the California sun

Yeah, [A] Bobby shared the secrets of my [E7] soul [E7]

Through [E7] all kinds of weather, through everything we done

Yeah [E7] Bobby, baby, kept me from the [A] cold [A]

One [A] day up near Salinas, Lord, I let him slip away

He's [A] looking for that [A7] home, and I hope he [D] finds it [D]

But I'd [D] trade all of my tomorrows for one [A] single yesterday

To be [E7] holding Bobby's body next to mine [E7]

[D] Freedom's just another word for [A] nothing left to lose

[E7] Nothing, and that's all that Bobby left [A] me [A]

[D] Feeling good was easy, Lord, [A] when he sang the blues

Huddie Ledbetter

[F] Yonder comes Miss [Bb] Rosie, how in the world do you [F] know

Umbrella on her [Bb] shoulder, a piece of paper in her [F] hand

Let the midnight [Bb] special, shine its light on [F] me

When you get up in the [Bb] mornin’, when that big bell [F] rings

[F] You go marchin’ to the [C7] table, you see the same old [F] thing

Knife and fork are on the [Bb] table, ain't nothin’ in my [F] pan

[F] And you say a word a-[C7]bout it, you get in trouble with the [F] man

CHORUS:



If you ever go to [Bb] Houston, boy you'd better walk [F] right

[F] And you better not [C7] gamble, and you better not [F] fight

Cuz Benson Crocker will ar-[Bb]rest you, and Jimmy Boone will take you [F] down

Well, she brought it in the [Bb] mornin’, just awhile ‘fore [F] day

[F] Well, she brought me the [C7] news, that my wife was [F] dead

That started me to [Bb] grievin’, whoopin’, hollerin’ and [F] cryin’

[F] Then I began to [C7] worry, ‘bout my great long [F] time
