<NOTE THE SWINGIN’ SLIDES AT THE END OF EACH CHORUS!>

INTRO: <KAZOOS – starting note B> / 1 2 3 4 / 1 2 3

Would you [E7] like to swing on a [A7] star Carry [D7] moonbeams home in a [G] jar

And be [E7] better off than you [A7] are [D7] Or would you rather be a [G] mule? [Gb][G]

CHORUS:


And be [E7] better off than you [A7] are

[D7] Or would you rather be a [G] mule? [Gb][G]

A [G] mule is an [C] animal with [G] long funny [C] ears He [G] kicks up at [C] anything he [G] hears

His [A7] back is brawny but his [D] brain is weak He's [A7] just plain stupid with a [D7] stubborn streak

And by the [G] way if you [C] hate to go to [G] school [E7] [A7] You may grow [D7] up to be a [G] mule

CHORUS:


And be [E7] better off than you [A7] are [D7] Or would you rather be a [G] pig? [Gb][G]

A [G] pig is an [C] animal with [G] dirt on his [C] face His [G] shoes are a [C] terrible dis-[G]grace

He [A7] has no manners when he [D] eats his food He's [A7] fat and lazy and ex-[D7]tremely rude

But if you [G] don't care a [C] feather or a [G] fig [E7] [A7] You may grow [D7] up to be a [G] pig

CHORUS:


And be [E7] better off than you [A7] are [D7] Or would you rather be a [G] fish? [Gb][G]

A [G] fish won't do [C] anything but [G] swim in a [C] brook

He [G] can't write his [C] name or read a [G] book To [A7] fool the people is his [D] only thought

And [A7] though he's slippery he [D7] still gets caught But then if [G] that sort of [C] life is what you [G] wish [E7]

[A7] You may grow [D7] up to be a [G] fish

CHORUS: And all the [E7] monkeys aren't in the [A7] zoo

Every-[D7]day you see quite a [G] few So you [E7] see it's all up to [A7] you

[D7] You can be better than you [E7] are [A7] You can be [D7] swinging on a [G] star [Gb][G]

A Horse with No Name Dewey Bunnell 1971 (recorded by America)

<STRUM SUGGESTION>

/ [Dm] / [C6/9] / / D dududu / Du u udu /

INTRO: / 1 2 3 4 / [Dm] / [C6/9] / [Dm] / [C6/9]

On the [Dm] first part of the [C6/9] journey I was [Dm] looking at all the [C6/9] life

There were [Dm] plants and birds and [C6/9] rocks and things

There was [Dm] sand and hills and [C6/9] rings The [Dm] first thing I met was a [C6/9] fly with a buzz

And the [Dm] sky, with no [C6/9] clouds

The [Dm] heat was hot and the [C6/9] ground was dry But the [Dm] air was full of [C6/9] sound

CHORUS: I’ve [Dm] been through the desert on a [Em7] horse with no name

It felt [Dm] good to be out of the [Em7] rain

In the [Dm] desert, you can re-[Em7]member your name ‘Cause there [Dm] ain’t no one for to [Em7] give you no pain

[Dm] Laa, laa [Em7] la-la-la laa, la-la [Dm] laa, laa [Em7] laa

[Dm] Laa, laa [Em7] la-la-la laa, la-la [Dm] laa, laa [Em7] laa

After [Dm] two days in the [C6/9] desert sun My [Dm] skin began to turn [C6/9] red

After [Dm] three days in the [C6/9] desert fun

I was [Dm] looking at a river [C6/9] bed And the [Dm] story it told of a [C6/9] river that flowed

Made me [Dm] sad to think it was [C6/9] dead

CHORUS:

You see I’ve [Dm] been through the desert on a [Em7] horse with no name

It felt [Dm] good to be out of the [Em7] rain

In the [Dm] desert, you can re-[Em7]member your name

‘Cause there [Dm] ain’t no one for to [Em7] give you no pain

La [Dm] laa, laa [Em7] la-la-la laa, la-la [Dm] laa, laa [Em7] laa La [Dm] laa, laa [Em7] la-la-la laa, la-la [Dm] laa, laa [Em7] laa

OPTIONAL INSTRUMENTAL VERSE: After [Dm] nine days I let the [C6/9] horse run free

‘Cause the [Dm] desert had turned to [C6/9] sea

There were [Dm] plants and birds and [C6/9] rocks and things There was [Dm] sand and hills and [C6/9] rings

After [Dm] nine days, I let the [C6/9] horse run free

‘Cause the [Dm] desert had turned to [C6/9] sea There were [Dm] plants and birds and [C6/9] rocks and things

There was [Dm] sand and hills and [C6/9] rings

The [Dm] ocean is a desert with its [C6/9] life underground And a [Dm] perfect disguise a-[C6/9]bove

Under the [Dm] cities, lies a [C6/9] heart made of ground

But the [Dm] humans will give no [C6/9] love

CHORUS:

You see I’ve [Dm] been through the desert on a [Em7] horse with no name It felt [Dm] good to be out of the [Em7] rain

In the [Dm] desert you can re-[Em7]member your name

‘Cause there [Dm] ain’t no one for to [Em7] give you no pain

La [Dm] laa, laa [Em7] la-la-la laa, la-la [Dm] laa, laa [Em7] laa

La [Dm] laa, laa [Em7] la-la-la laa, la-la [Dm] laa, laa [Em7] laa

[Dm] Laa, laa [Em7] la-la-la laa, la la [Dm] laa, laa [Em7] laa La [Dm] laa, laa [Em7] la-la-la laa, la la [Dm] laa, laa [Em7] laa [Dm]

Once I rose above the noise and confusion

Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion

I was soaring ever higher

But I flew too high

Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man

Though my mind could think I still was a mad man

I hear the voices when I'm dreaming

I can hear them say

Carry on my wayward son

There'll be peace when you are done

Lay your weary head to rest Am (let ring) Don't you cry no more

Masquerading as a man with a reason

My charade is the event of the season

And if I claim to be a wise man

It surely means that I don't know

On a stormy sea of moving emotion

Tossed about I'm like a ship on the ocean

I set sail for winds of fortune

But I hear the voices say

Carry on my wayward son


Lay your weary head to rest

Don't you cry no more

(mute) Carry on You will always remember

(mute) Carry on Nothing equals the splendor

Now your life's no longer empty

Surely Heaven waits for you

Hold on to me as we go

As we role down this unfamiliar road

Although this wei-ght is stringing us a-long

Just know you're not a-lone

Cuz I'm gonna make this place your home

verse 2

Settle do-wn it will all be clear

Don't pay no mind to the demons they fill you with fear

Trouble it might drag you down

If you get lost you can always be found

I'd [F] rather have his [D7] job than mine, [Db7] when I'm cleaning [F] windows

The [F] chambermaid sweet [F7] names I call, [Bb] it's a wonder [G7] I don't fall Me [F] mind’s not on me [D7] work at all, [Db7] when I'm cleaning [F] windows

I [F] know a fellow [F7] such a swell, he [Bb] has a thirst it's [G7] plain to tell

I've [F] seen him drink his [D7] bath as well, [Db7] when I'm cleaning [F] windows

[A7] All day up this ladder I’m as [D7] happy as can be

It’s [G7] not my fault I see a lot of [C] things I shouldn’t [C7] see

Py-[F]jamas lying [F7] side by side [Bb] ladies’ nighties [G7] I have spied I've [F] often seen what [D7] goes inside, [Db7] when I'm cleaning [F] windows

Now [F] there's a famous [F7] talkie queen, [Bb] looks a flapper [G7] on the screen

She's [F] more like eighty [D7] than eighteen, [Db7] when I'm cleaning [F] windows

She [F] pulls her hair all [F7] down behind, [Bb] then pulls down her, [G7] never mind [F] After that pulls [D7] down the blind, [Db7] when I'm cleaning [F] windows

[A7] All day up this ladder I’m as [D7] happy as can be

It’s [G7] not my fault I see a lot of [C] things I shouldn’t [C7] see

At [F] 8 o’clock, a [F7] girl she wakes, at [Bb] 5 past 8, a [G7] bath she takes

At [F] 10 past 8, me [D7] ladder breaks, [Db7] when I'm cleaning [F] windows

[F][F7][Bb][G7][F][D7][Db7] when I’m cleaning [F] windows [F][C7][F]

Always Look on the Bright Side of Life

Eric Idle 1979

Some [Am]things in life are [D]bad they can [G]really make you [Em]mad

Other [Am]things just make you [D]swear and [G]curse

When you're [Am]chewing on life's [D]gristle

Don't [G]grumble give a [Em]whistle

And [Am]this'll help things turn out for the [D7]best

And [G]always [Em]look on the [Am]bright [D7]side of [G]life [Em] [Am] [D7]

[G]Always [Em]look on the [Am]light [D7]side of [G]life [Em] [Am] [D7] If [Am]life seems jolly [D]rotten there's [G]something you've [Em]forgotten

And [Am]that's to laugh and smile and [D]dance and [G]sing

When you're [Am]feeling in the [D]dumps don't be [G]silly [Em]chumps

Just [Am]purse your lips and whistle - that's the [D7]thing


Come on al[G]ways [Em]look on the [Am]bright [D7]side of [G]life [Em] [Am] [D7]

For [Am]life is quite ab[D]surd and [G]death's the final [Em]word

You must [Am]always face the [D]curtain with a [G]bow

For[Am]get about your [D]sin - give the [G]audience a [Em]grin

En[Am]joy it - it's your last chance any[D7]how

So [G]always [Em]look on the [Am]bright [D7]side of [G]death [Em] [Am] [D7]

[G]Just be[Em]fore you [Am]draw your [D7]terminal [G]breath [Em] [Am] [D7]

[Am]Life's a piece of [D]shit [G]when you look at [Em]it [Am]Life's a laugh and [D]death's a joke it's [G]true

You'll [Am]see it's all a [D]show

Keep 'em [G]laughing as you [Em]go

Just [Am]remember that the last laugh is on [D7]you


[G]Always [Em]look on the [Am]right [D7]side of [G]life [Em] [Am] [D7]

(Come on guys, cheer up) [A]Always [F#m]look on the [Bm]right [E7]side of [A]life [F#m] [Bm] [E7]

[A]Always [F#m]look on the [Bm]right [E7]side of [A]life [F#m] [Bm] [E7]....
