Hotel California
- The Eagles –

Intro: Such a lovely face


Am E G D F C Dm E [x 2] F C
Plenty of the room at the Hotel
Am E California
On a dark desert highway, Dm
G D Any time of year
Cool wind in my hair, E7
F C You can find it here
Warm smell of colitas,
Dm E Am E G D F C Dm E [x 2]
Rising up through the air.

Her mind is Tiffany twisted,


Up a head in the distance, She got the Mercedes Benz,
I saw shimmering light, She got a lot of pretty pretty
My head grew heavy and my sight boys,
grew dim, That she calls friends.
I had to stop for the night.
How they dance in the courtyard,
Sweet summer sweat,
There she stood in the door way, Some dance to remember,
I heard the mission bell, Some dance to forget.
And I was thinking to myself,
This could be heaven or this So I called up the Captain,
could be hell. Please bring me my wine, he said,
We haven´t had that spirit here
Since nineteen sixty nine.
Then she lit up a candle,
And she showed me the way, And still those voices are
There were voices down the calling
corridor, From faraway,
I thought I heard them say. Wake up in the middle
Of the night, just to hear them
Chorus: say.
F C
Welcome to the Hotel California Chorus:
E7
Such a lovely place Am E G D F C Dm E [x 2]

Now somewhere in the black mountain hills of Dakota


There lived a young boy named Rocky Raccoon.
And one day his woman ran off with another guy,
Hit young Rocky in the Rocky didn't like that
He said I'm gonna get that boy.
So one day he walked into town
Booked himself a room in the local saloon.

Rocky Raccoon checked into his room,


Only to find Gideon's bible.
Rocky had come, equipped with a gun,
To shoot off the legs of his rival.
His rival it seems, had broken his dreams,
By stealing the girl of his fancy.
Her name was Magil and she called herself Lil
But everyone knew her as Nancy.
Now she and her man, who called himself Dan,
Were in the next room at the hoe down.
Rocky burst in and grinning a grin
He said Danny boy this is a showdown.
But Daniel was hot - he drew first and shot,
And Rocky collapsed in the corner.

Da da daddley da da ... (etc).

Now the doctor came in, stinking of gin,


And proceeded to lie on the table.
He said Rocky you met your match,
Rocky said, Doc it's only a scratch,
I'll be better, I'll be better doc as soon as I am able.

Now Rocky Raccoon he fell back in his room,


Only to find Gideon's bible.

Gideon checked out, and he left it no doubt,


To help with good Rocky's revival.

Spancil Hill
- Christy Moore -

Am G Am
Last night as I lay dreaming, of pleasant days gone by,
C G
Me mind being bent on rambling, to Ireland I did fly,
Am C G
I stepped on board a vision, and followed with a will,
Am G Am
Till the first I came to anchor at the cross at Spancil Hill,

It being the 23rd of June, the day before the fair


Where Ireland's sons and daughters, in crowds assembled there
The young, the old, the brave and the bold, Their journey to fulfil
There were jovial conversations, at the cross near Spancil Hill

Delighted by the novelty, enchanted with the scene


Where in my early boyhood, where often I had been
I thought I heard a murmur, and think I hear it still
It's the little stream of water, that flows down Spancil Hill

I went to see my neighbours, to hear what they might say


The old ones were all dead and gone, the others turning grey
I met with tailor Quigley, he's as bold as ever still
Sure he used to make my britches, when I lived in Spancil Hill

I paid a flying visit, to my first and only love


She's white as any lily, and gentle as a dove
She threw her arms around me, saying Johnny I love you still
She's Meg the farmers daughter, and the pride of Spancil Hill

Am G Am
I dreamt I stooped and kissed her, as in the day of 'ore
C G
She said Johnny you're only joking, as many the times before
Am C G
The cock crew in the mornin', he crew both loud and shrill
Am G Am
And I woke in California, many miles from Spancil Hill

Blind Willie McTell


- BoB DylaN –

Dm A Dm
Seen the arrow on the doorpost
Dm A Dm
Saying this land is condemned
A C G Bb C Dm
All the way from New Orleans to Jerusalem
Dm A Dm
I travelled to East Texas
Dm A Dm
Where many martyrs fell
A C G Bb C Dm
And I know no one can sing the blues like Blind Willie McTell

Well I heard that hooter singing


As they were taking down the tents
The stars above the barren trees were his only audience
Them charcoal gypsy maidens
Can strut their feathers well
But nobody can sing the blues like Blind Willie McTell.

See them big plantations burning


Hear the cracking of the whips
Smell that sweet magnolia blooming See the ghosts of slavery ships
I can hear them tribes a moaning
Hear that undertaker's bell
Nobody can sing the blues like Blind Willie McTell.

There's a woman by the river


With some fine young handsome man
He's dressed up like a squire bootleg whiskey in his hand
There's a chain gang on a highway
I can hear them rebels yell
But I know no one can sing the blues like Blind Willie McTell.

Well God is in his Heaven


And we all want what’s his
Songbook #2 · 21

But power and greed and corruptible seed


Seem to be all that there is
I'm gazing out the window
Of the St. James Hotel
And I know no one can sing the blues like Blind Willie McTell.

I had fifteen people telling me to move, I got movin’ on my mind.

I found shelter, in some dolls turning wheels around,

I've said 39 times that I love u to the beauty I have found.

At the hotel Yorba I'll be glad to see you later,

All they got inside is vacancy

I've been thinking, by a little place down by the lake


They've got a dirty old road leading up to the house
I wonder how long it will take
‘Till we're alone,
Sittin’ on a front porch of that home

Let's get married in a big cathedral by a priest

Because if I'm the man that you love the most,

You could say I do at least.

And it's four, five six, seven, grab the umbrella,
And grab hold of me ‘cause I’m your favourite fella,
All they got inside is vacancy.

Black is the Colour


- Christy Moore –

Verse 1:
Am F G Am
Black is the colour of my true loves hair,
F C E7
Her lips are like some roses fair,
F C E7
She had the sweetest smile and the gentlest hands,
F G Am
And I love the ground whereon she stands.

Verse 2:
I love my love and well she knows,
I love the ground whereon she goes,
I wish the day it soon would come,
When she and i would be as one.

Verse 3:
I go to the Clyde and I mourn and weep,
For satisfied I ne'er can be,
I wrote her a letter just a few short lines,
And suffer death a thousand times.

I'm only waiting for the proper time to tell you


That it's impossible to get along with you.
It's hard to look you in the face when we are talking
So it helps to have a mirror in the room.

I've not been really looking forward to the performance,


But there's my cue and there's a question on your face.
Fortunately I have come across an answer,
Which is go away
And do not leave a trace.

Waking up for breakfast
Burning matches
Talking quickly
Breaking baubles
Throwing garbage
Drinking soda
Looking happy
G

Giving me head on the unmade bed,

While the limousines wait in the street.

Those were the reasons and that was New York,

We were running for the money and the flesh.

And that was called love for the workers in song,

Ah, but you got away, didn't you babe,

You just turned your back on the crowd,

I need you, I don't need you"

And all of that jiving around.

I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel:


You were famous, your heart was a legend.
You told me again you preferred handsome men
But for me you would make an exception.
And clenching your fist for the ones like us
Who are oppressed by the figures of beauty
You fixed yourself, you said, "Well never mind,
We are ugly but we have the music."
