i) The Sound Of Silence (Paul Simon)
(Em)Hello darkness my old (D)friend
I've come to talk with you (Em)again
Because a vision (C)softly cree(G)ping
Left its seeds while I (C)was slee(G)ping
And the (C)vision that was planted in my (G)brain
Still remains, Within the (D)sound of (Em)silence.
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestones,
Beneath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night, and touched the sound of silence.
ii) Wind Flowers (Jimmy Seals/Dash Crofts)
(Bm)Windflowers, (A)my father told me not to
(G)go near them,
he feared them (E7)always,
(F#)said they carried him a(Bm)way.
Windflowers, I couldn't wait to touch them,
to smell them, I held them closely.
Now I cannot break away.
(Bm)(A)(G)Their (F#m)sweet bou(Em)quet
(A)disap(D)pears
like the (F#m)vapour in the (G#m)desert,
take a (C#m)warning son.
(Bm)Windflowers, (A)their beauty captures (G)every young dreamer,
who lingers (E7)near them,
(F#)Ancient windflowers, I love (Bm)you.
iii) California Dreamin'
(J.Phillips/Michelle Jilliam)
All the leaves are (C#m)brown(B)(A)
And the sky is grey(Ab)
I've been for a (E)walk(B)(C#m)
On a winter's day(Ab)
I'd be safe and (C#m)warm(B)(A)
If I was in L.A.(Ab)
California (E)dreaming(B)(C#m)
On such a winter's (Ab)day
Stopped into a church
I passed along the way
Well, I got down on my knees
And I pretend to pray
You know the preacher likes the cold
He knows I'm gonna stay
California dreaming
On such a winter's day
On such a winter's day
iv) Devoted to you (Bryant, B.)
(E)Darling you can (B)count on (E)me
(E)Till the sun dries (B)up the (E)sea
(A)Until (G#m)then I'll (F#m)always (E)be
De(A)vo(B)ted to (E)you
(F#m)I'll never hurt you (G#m)I'll never (C#m)lie
(F#m)I'll never (B)be un(E)true
(F#m)I'll never give you (G#m)reason to (C#m)cry
(F#m)I'd be unhappy if (B)you were blue
Through the years my love will grow
Like a river it will flow
It can't die because I'm so
Devoted to you
v) Crying In The Rain
(Carole King/Howard Greenfield)
(D)I'll (G)never (A)let you (D)see
(D)The way my (G)broken heart is (A)hurting (D)me
(D)I've got my (G)pride
And I (F#)know how to (Bm)hide
All my (G)sorrow and (A)pain
I'll do my crying in the (Bm)rain
If I wait for cloudy skies
You won't know the rain from the tears in my eyes
You'll never know that I still love you so
Though the heartaches remain
I'll do my crying in the rain
I'll do my crying in the rain
vi) Teach Your Children (Nash, G.)
(D)You who are on the (G)road
Must have a (D)code
That you can (A)live by
And (D)so become your(G)self
Because the (D)past is just a (A)good-bye
(D)Teach you children (G)well
Your father's (D)hell did slowly (A)go by
And (D)feed them on your (G)dreams
The one they (D)picks
The one you'll (A)know by
(D)Don't you ever ask them (G)why
If they told you, you would (D)cry
So just look at them and (Bm)sigh(G)
(A)And know they (D)love you
vii) He ain't heavy - he's my brother
(Bobby Scott/Bob Russell)
The road is (F)long, (C)with many a (Dm)winding (Bb)turn
That (C)leads us to (Dm)who knows (Eb)where,
who knows (C)where
But I'm (F)strong, (C)strong enough to (Dm)carry (C#)him
(F)He ain't (Gm)heavy - (C)he's my (F)brother
And the (F)load(Dm)
doe(C)sn't (Bb)weigh (C)me (Dm)down at (C#)all
(F)He ain't (Gm)heavy - (C)he's my (F)brother
He ain't heavy - he's my brother
