Oh, my heart
              G
Let us stay together
C
Oh, my heart
  F      G      F       C      D7
Together we can weather stormy days
      G                    A       A7
Whose darkened skies would blacken moods
    Bb       C    A       F  G  Dm C
All these we must elude
 
 
[Chorus]
F
Oh, my heart, my dove, my lark
                  A7
We are birds of a feather
Gm                   C   F  C
You’re my beau, my Fidelio___

I’m your Cathy on the heather

              G
Let us stay together

Together but not tethered, or not too much
      G                    A       A7
Though times seem tough, too tiresome
   Bb         C      A      F  G  Dm C
We still must not succumb
 
 
[Chorus]
F
Oh, my heart, my dove, my lark
                  A7
We are birds of a feather
Gm                   C   F  C
You’re my beau, my Fidelio___

Oh, my heart, my dove, my lark
                  A7
We are birds of a feather
Gm             A7     Dm      F  Bb  C  F
I’m your Cathy on the heather
 
 
 
[Outro]
F
Oh, my heart
              G
Let us stay together
C
Oh, my heart
F
Oh, my heart

Track 2 - Side Of Fries
 
 
 
[Intro]
Bm  G  Bm  G
 
[Verse 1]
     D
I was walking down the street one day
 
And my mind was in a slide
D
When this well-dressed, all-dressed, hot dog said
 
“French fries on the side”
       E
He was golden brown and about six feet long
 
His bun was toasted fast
   G
As he turned away, he did remark
 A7
“Frankfurts built to last”
 
 
[Chorus]
         D
Well, my momma didn’t tell me
       A7           D
And my poppa didn’t say
     A7
This world’s a busy place
                      D
And time just wastes away
F
Brother didn’t happen
    C
And sister never stayed
A7
Momma hardly opened
    G           A7      D  A7  D
And Poppa never played
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Once I came home with a brand new suit
 
And a charge account to boot
D
There was a Chevrolet sitting on the couch
 
With a Cadillac ready to toot
E
After drinks and conversation too
 
‘Bout the meaning of inner need
G
Said, you’re a man for real, Yes, it’s a deal
     A7
Satisfaction’s guaranteed
 
 
[Chorus]
         D
Well, my momma didn’t tell me
       A7           D
And my poppa didn’t say
     A7
This world’s a busy place
                      D
And time just wastes away
F
Brother didn’t happen
    C
And sister never stayed
A7
Momma hardly opened
    G           A7
And Poppa never played
 
 
[Instrumental]
D   A7   D        E     G     A7
 
 
[Chorus]
         D
Well, my momma didn’t tell me
       A7           D
And my poppa didn’t say
     A7
This world’s a busy place
                      D
And time just wastes away
F
Brother didn’t happen
    C
And sister never stayed
A7
Momma hardly opened
    G           A7      D  A7  D
And Poppa never played
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
I was lying on my desk at ease
 
Cancelling the afternoon
D
When the door swung open to a fruit of the loom
 
Screaming, “Smoke me to the moon”
E
He was a xenophobe with a .38
 
Besides a ruptured spleen
G
But I kept my cool, as he slowly drooled
     A7
Only Brand X cleans to clean
 
 
[Chorus]
         D
Well, my momma didn’t tell me
       A7           D
And my poppa didn’t say
     A7
This world’s a busy place
                      D
And time just wastes away
F
Brother didn’t happen
    C
And sister never stayed
A7
Momma hardly opened
    G           A7      D  A7  D
And Pappa never played

[Intro]
Dm  Fm  G  C
 
[Verse 1]
      Ab      Am     Dm
A serenade in vain
              Asus2         Dm  F    C  G   C
You share the love, but you hide the pain__
            Ab        Am     Dm
We flew too high this time
             Asus2      Dm F    C  G
And tore our wings on a lover’s climb__
 
 
[Chorus]
         C     G      Am G   F
Now it’s just another broken heart
    G      Dm       F       G         C
Two lovers meet the night before they part

It’s just another dream gone wrong
G      Dm       F      G        C      Dm  Fm G C
Fading like the moon before the dawn
 
 
[Verse 2]
       Ab        Am      Dm
No one else will know
           Asus2   Dm  F    C  G   C
We mustn’t let out feelings show__
         Ab       Am      Dm
Tomorrow she’ll return
               Asus2    Dm      F      C  G
So put out the fire but let the embers burn__
 
 
[Chorus]
         C     G      Am G   F
And it’s just another broken heart
    G      Dm       F       G         C
Two lovers meet the night before they part
           G      Am    G    F
It’s just another dream gone wrong
G      Dm       F      G        C
Fading like the moon before the dawn
 
 
[Instrumental]
C    Ab  Am    Dm  Asus2  Dm  F  C  G  C
C    Ab  Am    Dm  Asus2  Dm  F  C  G
 
 
[Chorus]

It’s just another broken heart

Two lovers meet the night before they part
           G      Am    G    F
It’s just another dream gone wrong
G      Dm       F      G        C
Fading like the moon before the dawn
 
 
[Chorus]
         C     G      Am G   F
And it’s just another broken heart
    G      Dm       F       G         C
Two lovers meet the night before they part

It’s just another dream gone wrong
G      Dm       F      G        C
Fading like the moon before the dawn

Track 4 - Na Cl
 
 
## NOTE: Notes in parentheses( ) are single-note Bass Walk-Ups ##
 
 
 
 
[Intro]
Bb G   D7   G  C#  G G/F# G
 
[Verse 1]
                          D             G          D  G
Just a little atom of Chlorine, valence minus one
                     Am               D           G           G7(A)(Bb)(B)C
Swimming through the sea, digging the scene, just having fun
                            G                    C
She’s not worried about the shape or size of her outside shell
C#                 G
It’s fun to ionize
                       Am        D        G       G/F# G
Just a little atom of Cl with an unfilled shell
 
 
[Verse 2]
                      D                  G       D
But somewhere in that sea lurks handsome Sodium
      G                      Am      D                G         G7(A)(Bb)(B)C
With enough electrons on his outside shell, plus that extra one
                  G                       C
Somewhere in this deep blue sea there’s a negative
    C#
For my extra energy
 G                     Am          D                G      C# G
Yes, somewhere in this foam my positive will find a home
 
 
[Bridge]
     Dm                    G7
Then unsuspecting Chlorine felt a magnetic pull
           Dm                                   A7
She looked down and her outside shell was full
 
Sodium cried, “What a gas, be my bride
    D
And I’ll change your name from Chlorine to chloride”
 
 
[Verse 3]
        G        D                                G              D  G
Now the sea evaporates to make the clouds for the rain and snow
                     Am               D          G     G7(A)(Bb)(B)
Leaving her chemical compounds in the absence of H2O
        C                   G                 C
But the crystals that wash upon the shore are happy ones
    C#                          G
So, if you never thought before
                           Am           D        G
Think of the love that you eat when you salt you meat

Pour tes après-midis sombres de tourment

Sachant que le soir n’apporte qu’inquiètude
   D               G                   Dm    Am
Et que le matin n’éveille que solitude

Ecoute je te souhaite qu’un jour bientôt
     F              D         G            C
Dans un endroit tranquille tu trouves le repos
G            Am             E7
Et peut-être délaissant les joies éphèmeres
  D                 G                   Dm    Am
Oublieras-tu enfin tes défaites amères
 
 
[Chorus]
Dm            E7               Am
Tristes rêves troublent mon sommeil
             C                G                C     Am   G
Et braillent que cet adieu ce n’est qu’un au revoirs

Prends ton manteau tes souliers tes soucis

Marche lentement dans le matin endormi

                  **English Translation Of Above Lyrics**
 
 
[Verse 1]
Tie your shoes, collect your coat, your woes and discontent
Walk slow into the morning asleep
The hour has come, grey and quite alone
You’re fading with the mist, haunted, an afterthought
 
 
[Chorus]
Such sad dreams, troubling my sleep with that howl
“Farewell is only goodbye”
 
 
[Verse 2]
Preserve every regret, each tear so preciously
For your late afternoons heavy with the thought
The night time, hardly the right time to brood
The sun will just awaken solitude
 
 
[Chorus]
 
 
[Verse 3]
But listen, I hope that soon you may find
A quiet place to rest
And maybe forego the fleeting joys
And maybe there forget the bitterness of your defeats
 
 
[Chorus]
 
 
[Verse 4]
   (Verse 1 repeat)
 
 
[Chorus]
 
[Chorus]

[Verse 1]
             Fm               C
In Rotterdam, ’Seventy-Seven
 C7          F    G
I had a birthday
       C7                       B7
We were on the road to nowhere
            E7       Am            F
Looking for somewhere to make it a night
             G  C F G F C F G
To call it a day___
 
 
[Verse 2]
       F    C      F   G     F    C    F  G  F
And we drank cheap champagne from Italy
       C    F    G     F       C  F  G
It was pink, alcoholic and bubbly
F       C                                  F
And the boys in the band gave me a candle
                            G7
Matches to light it, for my bedside table
    Dm                           G            C       F
And I let you light it for the first time that night

So, light the candle one more time
F   C E7 Am          D7
For tomorrow I’ll be going
         G7   E7           Am     A7
And I’ve grown used to the light
D7          C          E7         F
Night after night, the same flame glowing
          D7            G       C       G7
Won’t you light it just one more time
 
 
[Verse 4]
                     C     D7  C  Eaug
God knows, I want to stay
F  C    E7   Am         D7
By your side, night and day
       G7           E7           Am    A7
And to hold you and be held in return
      D7           C        E7                      F
As we did from the south of France clear through to Galway

I can’t help the things that I say

In middle fall when northern winds blow the clouds every which way
        Dm             C               Dm          C         Dm

    C               B7                Am                F
The ghost of summer lingers on in the dying rays of the sun
    Dm              C              Dm     C      Dm
And winter waits to heap its snow upon us by the ton

I jam a log into the stove and hasten to shut the door

In the room upstairs sleeps a baby boy who wasn’t there before__, before

I love my kid, my baby, my boy

          Dm              C             Dm        C        Dm
While the whistlepigs are bedded down beneath the woodshed floor
    C               B7                   Am             F
How many pounds the child will gain, the inches that he grows
       Dm            C              Dm   C       Dm
Will depend upon the measure of the love that we show
Bb                  F             Bb               F
Chainsaws whine out in woods, the geese have taken flight
                          Gdim7             Dm             C  G       C
And the daytime sounds of birds give way to coyotes in the night, the night
 
 
[Chorus]
  F    Am Dm
I love my kid, my baby, my boy
C         F       G         C     F  Am  Dm
Bundle of sorrow, bundle of joy
C         F       G         C
Bundle of sorrow, bundle of joy
 
 
[Verse 3]
                     Ddim7/C                 C               Ddim7/C
Once there were just two of us, now there’s another mouth to feed
    Dm              C                       Dm       C     Dm
And when he’s taken from the breast, can we meet his every need?
   C                        B7                  Am             F
We filled our home with the toys and clothes to suit his every whim
         Dm                     C                  Dm          C       Dm
And he’s filled our hearts with wondrous love that flows right back to him
    Bb                F                       Bb           F
The young grass grows up through the old, the lilac lives again
               Gdim7          Dm           C  G      C
Upon a painted latticework, a little rose ascends, ascends
 
 
[Chorus]    (fade to end)
  F    Am Dm
I love my kid, my baby, my boy
C         F       G         C
Bundle of sorrow, bundle of joy
  Dm   G  C
I love my kid, my baby, my boy
C         F       G         C
Bundle of sorrow, bundle of joy
  F    C  F    Am  Dm
I love my kid,       (my baby, my boy)
C         F       G         C     F  Am  Dm
Bundle of sorrow, bundle of joy             (my baby, my boy)
C         F       G         C
Bundle of sorrow, bundle of joy

Somebody I know’s gone away

But I wish he hadn’t left me here to stay
                       F

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
                          G
I've been travelling over mountains
 
Even through the valleys, too
                               C
I've been travelling night and day
                          D
I've been running all the way
                       G
Baby, trying to get to you
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Ever since I read your letter
 
Where you said you loved me true
                               C
I've been travelling night and day
                          D
I've been running all the way
                       G
Baby, trying to get to you
 
 
[Chorus]
                        C
When I read your loving letter
                       G
Then my heart began to sing
                        C
There were many miles between us
                       D
But they didn't mean a thing
 
 
[Verse 3]
                         G
I just had to reach you, baby
 
In spite of all that I've been through
                            C
I kept travelling night and day
                       D
I kept running all the way

Baby, trying to get to you

[Chorus]

When I read your loving letter
                       G
Then my heart began to sing
                        C
There were many miles between us
                       D
But they didn't mean a thing
 
 
[Verse 4]
                      G
Lord above me knows I love you
 
It was he who brought me through
                        C
When my way was darkest night
                             D
He would shine his brightest light
                            G
When I was trying to get to you
 
 
[Outro]   (repeat and fade)
G  C  D  G
 
                        C
When my way was darkest night
                             D
He would shine his brightest light
                            G
When I was trying to get to you

This park is my living room
     G        C       Am
This bench is my love seat
Em    C        D
Green grass is my broadloom
G       C        F
Lying beneath my feet

It takes me back to when I was a girl
       B7          Fm      Am E     Am
It was here that I came to my young world
  G             B7
A victim in the dark
          Em   G     Am
Of love’s near fatal spark
       Dm           C    G
By the light of the moon____
    Em         B7
Our fervour sustained
       Em    G        Am
By the night hawk’s refrain
     Dm                C    G
What bliss, what sweet ruin___

      Em  C        D
These memories are fixed in time
       G       C    Am
Though faintly gossamer
  Em        C          D
I hope that yours will be like mine
         G        C        F
And stay with you all your years
 
 
[Verse 4]
   Am       Em      Am              G
To take you back to when you were a girl
     B7          Fm        Am  E   Am
Your first rendezvous in a younger world
  G              B7
A fixture in the park
        Em   G         Am
Where I stay till it’s dark
       Dm       C    G
Then I go to my room____
  Em        B7
I seldom complain
        Em  G      Am
Sitting out in the rain
     Dm            C    G
This earth must consume___
 
 
[Instrumental]
B7   Am   E   D G Am Em   Dm   C   F   C   D7   G
 
 
[Outro]     (repeat 4x - fade to end)

What bliss, what sweet ruin___

F7               D7           G
Buddy, won’t you make up your mind
    Bb               F               Eb        D7
I’m saying that it’s easy, that I’ll have no regrets
                  Eb         F            G         C
Get your things together and get yourself out of my home
 
 
[Chorus]
         G
You’re a dead weight
            A7
And I can’t wait

To see the back of you

So leave my mind and body alone

You’re driving me crazy and you’re wasting my time

To see the back of you

You never fooled anyone, we all know your kind
F7                D7       G
Trying so hard to be a Casanova
     Bb              F             Eb               D7
Your charm’s wearing thin and your voice rings like tin
             Eb              F       G         C
I won’t tolerate you, you’re bugging me and my friends
 
 
[Chorus]

You’re a dead weight
            A7
And I can’t wait

To see the back of you
