G
Ringing, my ears are ringing
G
I’m hearing ring-ling-ling-ling-ling
G
Ringa ling ling tinga ling ling
G D
Ring ling ling ling ling loud in my ears
D7
Singing, that’s why I’m singing
D7
If I can shout and sing out loud
D7
Then I can fill my head with sound
D7
And that sound will begin to drown
D7 G
The ringing in my head that won’t stop ringing
G
Oh Doctor, I called the doctor
G
I asked her can you help me please
G
This ringing sound is bugging me
G D
All I can hear is ringing in my ears
D7
She said you shouldn’t worry so
D7
Truth be told you’re getting old
D7
The ringing’s all inside your head
D7
Drink some water go to bed
D7
In a hundred years we’ll all be dead
D7 G
Won’t do no good to worry ‘bout the ringing
C
If the ringing won’t stop ringing
Cm
Then I’ll just keep on singing
G E
We’ll battle til the end
Am D G
I just hope the singing wins

B E
Things I can never remember
A A7 D
Things that I always forget
B E
Things that happened a long time ago
A A7 D
Things that ain’t happened yet
I was looking around for that thingamajig
It looks like a widget but it’s not that big
I went in my room and closed the door
And I forgot what I rent in there for
I went back out and the doorbell rang
I opened the door and there was what’s her name
I’m sure I met her once someplace
She hangs around with what’s his face
I don’t remember what she actually wanted at that particular point in time I think she was maybe selling Girl Scout cookies something like that I can’t recall
Chorus
I need a minute here to figure out
What it was I meant to talk about
There was something I was trying to find
Now it seems to have slipped my mind
Now it’s one thing to forget where you PUT something but when you forget altogether what it was you were looking for, well, that’s a problem and you may have to go back and retrace your steps and that’s like deja vu all over again. Now somebody famous said that - what’s his name? Baseball played named after a cartoon character

4. The Last Unicorn
02:30
|
|||
|
G7/C A/Dm
The last unicorn was born a thousand years ago
Dm7/G G7/C
She had a lovely horn and a coat that was whiter than snow
G7/C A/Dm
In the physical world she truly was one of a kind
Dm7?G G7 C
When all the other unicorns went away she stayed behind.
C7/F A/Dm
She lived deep in the forest and rarely was seen
Dm7/G G7/C
The creatures all loved her and called her their queen
C7/F A/Dm
But as she grew older she wanted to know
Dm7/G G7 C
What became of her family and where did they go
She was told by a troll that these secrets could be easily learned
But if she left the natural world she could never return
She boarded a boat all alone and sailed away
And she arrived in the make believe world on the following day
Unicorns, Dinosaurs, dragons galore
Called out her name as they waved from the shore
She was happy to see them and happy to be
Forever at home in the land of make believe

Dear Yeti, hello Yeti dear
D7 G
Everything is crazy here
G G7 C
The people never come outside
D D7
I rarely ever have to hide
G D
I don’t know what is going on
D7 G
But clearly there is something wrong
G G7 C
But it’s fun to watch this human zoo
D D7 G
I’m doing fine what’s up with you?
G D D7
Dear Sasquatch nice to hear from you
D7 G G7
Over here is crazy too
C Bm E
Normally this time of year

We’re mobbed with climbers and their gear

But I haven’t seen a single soul
D7 G G7
The sherpas must be on the dole
C Bm E
It’s getting warmer every day

I’m afraid the snow will melt away

I’ve seen the humans come and go

The Big Game
03:14

|
C G
Everybody’s gonna watch the game
G7 C
You don’t even have to know who’s playin’
F C Am
Or where it is or what it’s all about
D G
Just turn on your TV and check it out
C G
Everyone should catch it if they can
G7 C
In every household all across the land
F C Am
It will be seen by 100 million fans
C G C
Even if there’s no-one in the stands
This promises to be the biggest yet
A spectacle you never will forget
Thinks of all the games you’ve ever seen before
This one’s guaranteed to be much more
The halftime entertainment will amaze
With more stars than there are in outer space
Commercial interruptions won’t be too bad
Some folks just tune in to see the ads
Light beer, SUVs and pizza pies
Are just a few things you’ll see advertised
They’ll make you laugh so hard you’ll start to cry
And hopefully remember what to buy
And now the big game is almost here
The biggest celebration of the year
It will be bigger than it ever was before
And next year we’ll be back with even more

O Valentine

Oh Valentine, dear Valentine
What must I do to make you mine?
Your lovely face I can’t forget
I’m sad to say we’ve never met
O Valentine you top my list
Do you even know that I exist?
I really cannot blame you though
I am too shy to say hello
I saw you out the other day
I turned around and ran away
Every time I hear you speak
My mind goes blank my knees go weak
I often think of what I’ll say
And then my voice just fades away
The way I feel you’re bound to know
When I get up the nerve to say hello
Oh Valentine, dear Valentine
What must I do to make you mine?
What must I do to win your heart?
To say hello might be a start

G C
They say that Texans like to boast - they are the best, they eat the most
D G
Anyway that’s how the story goes
G C
But Houstonians will never go round bragging ‘bout the weather
D
They’re familiar with torrential rains
D
They get their share of hurricanes
D
The summers can be sweltering
C D G
And it never ever snows
G C
The folks in New York City who whine about humidity
D C D G
Wouldn’t last a day outside in Houston in July
D
But in the winter of seventy-three
D D7
One day will live on in history
G C
It started out a normal day though skies were dark and cool
D G
Everybody went to work, the kids all went to school
G C
When morning recess rolled around snowflakes were falling down
D C D G
It looked as though a little snow was sticking to the ground
G C
By lunchtime it was plain to see the snow was a reality
D G
By then it covered up the ground and more was coming down
D
They said “there’s no more school for today
D D7
Everyone can go outside and play!”
G C
CHORUS: And the snow came falling down
D G
And it covered up the ground
G C Am
Houston Texas look out below
D G
She’s buried beneath 3 inches of snow
G C D G
Teachers, students, janitors, custodians and visitors all ran out side to frolic in the white
G C
Everyone in town that day let all their worries melt away
D G
And joined their neighbors in a giant snowball fight
G C
When they went to bed that night the kids said their prayers
D G
When we wake up in the morning let the snow still be there
G C
They woke up in the morning the sun was shining bright
D G
They ran to the window and beheld a lovely sight
G C
Not only was the ground still covered in white
D D7
But a whole extra inch had fallen overnight
G C
Nobody went to work or school that day throughout the town
D G
Because they didn’t won a plow the airport was shut down
G C
Everybody knew to go enjoy it while they can
D G
You may not live to see it snow in Houston again.

Talking WFMU
02:50
|
|||
|
If you can hear me now then everybody knows
You’re listening to the radio
And not just any old broadcast crew
We’re talking WFMU - freeform radio - heard all one the world
Every year about this time they ask if we can spare a dime
Say thanks for what they’re doing here - and help em last another year
Every year is tough but 2020 was tougher than most -
2020 - good vision - challenging year
The pandemic started up and the world shut down
No more live bands coming to town
Folks were stuck at home with no place to go
They started listening to the radio - just like the old days - long before the pandemic
Up stepped WFMU
They stayed on the air with a skeleton crew
Broadcasting live 24/7
On a scale of ten I’d give em an 11
Everybody’s woking from home
More time to have the radio on
Now if you’ve enjoyed it all year long
They need your help to keep going strong
As if great radio weren’t enough
They’re offering up all kinds of stuff
An we’re not talking some old tote bag
This here’s genuine first class swag - hand made premiums lovingly assembled by individual volunteer DJs - collect em all
So over the next week or two
I think you know what you need to do
Lets make this marathon the best
Here’s a little tune so you won’t forget:
W - Wonderful Radio
F - Fantastic station
M - They need some money
U - and they’re counting on you

Bad Luck Leprechaun
03:04
|
|||
|
C G
Hiking through the forest I heard a mournful whine
Dm G F G C
And there I spied a tiny man tangled up in vines
C F
He said “I am a leprechaun and if you can set me free
F C G C
I will grant your every wish and share my luck with thee
C G
I freed the little fellow - he tried to run and hide
Dm G F G C
But he tripped beside a wishing well and fell down deep inside
C F
Ho shouted “help, I cannot swim!” And would have drowned no doubt
F C G C
But I sent down a bucket on a rope and pulled him out
G C
I pulled him out, I pulled him out
G C C7
He would have drowned beyond a doubt
F C G C
CHORUS He was the luckiest leprechaun you could ever hope to see
F C G C
But I’m afraid that all his luck was bad as bad can be
C G
He said “Im truly sorry and now to make amends
Dm G F G C
I’ll take to a treasure where the rainbow ends
D F
We found the end of the rainbow but there was no pot of gold
F C G C
Just a rusted chamber pot packed with muck and mold
G C
Muck and mold, muck and mold
G C
Truth be told there was no gold
CHORUS
C G
His promises and magic tricks went from bad to worse
Dm G F G C
And every wish he tried to grant turned out to be a curse
C F
A tricky little fellow - he always had a plan
F C F G C
But some unfortunate accident would knock him down again
C G
He was trampled by an elephant when he stepped upon its trunk
Dm G F G C
He was bitten by a rattlesnake and squirted by a skunk
C F
He bets on horses everyday but has never won a dime
F C F G C
And he’s been struck by lightning seventy-seven times
C G
If you’re ever in the forest and spy this tiny man
Dm G F G C
Turn and run away from him as quickly as you can
C F
And if he catches up with you I’ll tell you what to say:
F G F G C
These are my three wishes: please go away!
C G C
Go away! Go away!
G C C7
This is not your lucky day!
CHORUS X3

Intro: G G7 C Cm G A7 D7 G
G D
The day I won the lottery
D7 G
Everyone was nice to me
G C
Folks I’d never seen before
D D7
Were gathered round outside my door
G D
All at once the crowd was cleared
D7 G
My winning ticket disappeared
G C
I never got to cash it in
G A7 D7 C
I guess I’ll have to try again
G D
That’s the way the money goes
D7 G
That’s the way the money goes
G G7 C Cm
We all need money I suppose
G A7 D7 C
That’s the way the money goes
G D
Apart from taxes food and rent
D7 G
The miser never spent a cent
G C
He kept his money in a box
D D7
Loaded down with chains and locks
G D
All his life he saved and saved
D7 G
He took his money to the grave
G C
Now the money’s underground
G A7 D7 G
Sprouting up all over town
CHORUS
G G C D G
THAT’S THE WAY IT GOES
G D
A dollar here a dollar there
D7 G
Money turns up everywhere
G C
Throw it all into the air
D D7
Let everybody grab their share
G D
The poor man dreams of nicer things
D7 G
The rich man needs security
G C
Always thinking ‘bout the day
G A7 D7 G
They’ll try to take it all away

E
If I was the Easter Bunny
A
Life would be all milk and honey
B
Just like Peter Cottontail
E
I’d hop along that bunny trail
E
For nine or ten months every year
A
I could just go disappear
B
I wouldn’t have to do a thing
E
’Til flowers reappeared in spring
A F#m
Then the whole wide world would think of me
D E A B E
I would be a big celebrity
E
Then I’d really have it all
A
I’d tour the nation’s shopping malls
B
Kids would come from miles around
E
To pick up what I’m puttin’ down
E
Because I am the Easter Bunny
A
I wouldn’t have a need for money
B
I could do it all unpaid
E
I’ll ride the float in town parades
A F#m
Throwing Easter eggs into the crowd
D E A
I know that I would make my family proud - of me

The majestic redwood tree

A finer thing you’ll never see

And for what it’s worth

The oldest living thing on earth

Stand there at her feet

Look up into the canopy

Climbing high - the branches touch the sky
C G E Am
Reaching down - the roots are underground

Never will fall down
C E Am
When insects look for food or homes
G G7 C
They leave the redwood tree alone

Fires burning wild and free

Rarely harm the redwood tree

A forest swallowed up in flames
G G7 C
Only redwood trees remain
C E F
Many trees will fall
G G7 C
But she’s still standing tall
CHORUS
C E Am
In the 19th century
G G7 C
Loggers killed the redwood trees

They cut them down - hauled them away

Five percent remain today

To protect the remaining few
G G7 C
It’s up to me it’s up to you

While you can you should go and see

The majestic redwood tree

F C7 F
I remember walking on the beach in faraway lands
F C7 F
I saw the sun reflected in the tiny grains of sand
Bb C F
They tell a tale in fine detail - the story never ends
Gm C F
I blinked my eyes they scattered into the wind
F C7 F
I remember summer nights looking up at the stars
F C7 F
If you can find that special star you’ll always know where you are
Bb C F
I remember people who have wandered far away
Gm C F
But like the stars the memories always stay
F C7 F
I remember when I was a bird and you were a fish
F C7 F
We’d fly and swim around the world go anyplace that we wish
Bb C F
That was only yesterday or so it seems to me
Gm C F
Was it real or was it only a dream?
Gm C F
Either way it’s still a fine memory

If I was a groundhog I’d live down underground

And poke my head out everyday to take a look around

I may crawl out and walk about, throw caution to the wind

At any sign of danger I’ll head back down again

Living down beneath the world I’d rarely see the light

A groundhog I’ll never be

If I was a mockingbird I’d live up in the sky
A D
Looking down from high above around the world I’d fly
D G
I might light down and look around - find a place to stay
A D
At any sign of trouble I’d up and fly away
G D
Flying high above the world as far as I can see
G Em A
Riding high upon the wind so light and free
G F#
But it’s plain to see
B7 Em
A mockingbird I’ll never be

I won’t live high in the sky

I’ll be here don’t ask me why

If you see me passing by

Please

Beneath the stars up shining bright
D G
Behold another magic night
D A D
Filled with wonder and delight
F#m G
Surrounded by the unfamiliar
F#m G
An endless valley to explore
Em D
Then you’ll suddenly remember
A D
I’ve been down this road before
D G
The preacher man was right and true
D A
He knew the Bible through and through
D G
He lost his way or so we’re told
D A D
And ended up on Slacktown Road
D G
When all my time on earth is done
D A
I’ll look into the fading sun
D G
One last wish before I go
D A D
Just take me down to Slacktown Road.
F#m G
Slacktown Road is never ending

It runs forever and a day

It may take you where you’re going

It may carry you away

Here Come The UFOs
03:27

G F
I was gazing out the window
G F
On a warm September night
Em G
I saw a blinking orb approaching
G7 C
And the sky was filled with light
G F
Then I spied a giant spacecraft
G F
Flashing colors wild and weird
Em G
It rapidly ascended
G7 C
And just like that it disappeared
G F
Nobody would believe me
G F
It didn’t follow nature’s law
Em G
Just my imagination
G7 C
But I know what I saw
G F
So I started looking for them
G F
Flying objects flashing lights
Em G
Things that often go unnoticed
G7 C
Now I see them every night
G F
Now I’m sure that they have landed
G F
Invisible to you and me
Em G
Voices our ears can’t distinguish
G7 C
Shapes and colors we can’t see
G F
And I believe they walk among us
G F
Some are living in our midst
Em G
Just because we cannot see them
G7 C
Doesn’t mean they don’t exist
G F
We must assume that they are friendly
G F
They’ve been watching us for years
Em G
If their intention was to harm us
G7 C
We wouldn’t still be here
G F
Now everybody has a camera
G F
Pointed up into the sky
Em G
As more evidence is gathered
G7 C
You will agree that I am right
G F
Officials hide their information
G F
Won’t tell the public what they know
Em G
When the secrets are revealed
G7 C
Don’t say I didn’t tell you so
G7 C
Here come the UFOs

The Sun Will Shine Again
03:39
|
|||
|
I’ve walked around this planet now for ninety-seven years
I’ve filled my heart with laughter and I’ve shed a thousand tears
I’ve lost everything I’ve ever owned
I’ve learned some things I wish I’d never known
I was born in Dallas Texas in nineteen and twenty two
I’ve rambled and I’ve gambled and I’ve seen a thing or two
One wager that I’m sure I’ll always win
I’ll bet you that the sun will shine again
The sun will shine again
You’ll find another friend
The losers will win
The sun will shine again
One day a cloud of dust appeared and blotted out the sun
People panicked fearing that their time on earth was done
The preachers bowed their heads and knocked on wood
The businessmen grabbed everything they could
We lived in total darkness for a year and twenty days
Lots of folk had given up and wandered far astray
The faithful were rewarded in the end
The cloud lifted and the sun appeared again
The sun will shine again
You’ll find another friend
The losers will win
The sun will shine again
Every drop within the ocean, all creatures great and small
Sing songs to tell their stories and draw pictures on the wall
With no beginning and without an end
Just waiting for the sun to shine again
The sun will shine again
You’ll find another friend
The losers will win
The sun will shine again

Willie the wiggling worm

Why does Willie want to wiggle and squirm?

He wiggles around down under the ground
D G
The wiggliest worm in the underground town
G D
Wanda worm was one of a kind
D7 G
A whistling worm with a whimsical mind

Wanda whistled at Willie while he wiggled along

Willie started wiggling as Willie will do
D7 G
Without a warning Wanda’s wiggling too

But he said “whatever, I’m a wiggling dude”

From Walla Walla Washington to Wichita Kan

C
Doug was a groundhog not too big
F
But he had big dreams and he loved to dig
G
He said ,“I love my home and family
C
But I could use a little change in scenery”
F C
He watched a red-tailed hawk fly over the mountain
F G
He said “I’d like to know what lies on the other side”
C
One way to find out
C
Well he dug and dug for days and days
F
Until he knew he was far away
G
Then he poked his head up out of the ground
C
And had a look around
F C
He came up in a mud hole beside a friendly pig
F G
Who said you’re funny looking but you sure know how to dig
C
You sure can dig
C F
The pig said it’s nice to meet you and please don’t take this wrong
G C
But before the farmer sees you - you’d better move along.
C F
Doug the Digger
G C
He travels underground.
C F
Doug the Digger
G
From the center of the earth to the hills high above
C
There never lived a critter that could dig like Doug.
C F
Doug went back down into the ground and set off once again
G C
In the history of excavation there was nothing quite like him
C F
At random spots around the world he would take a look around
G C
At any sign of danger he’d head back underground
F C
In the frigid frozen Arctic he met a polar bear
F G
He came out of the ground in Holland with tulips in his hair.
C F
In the sands of the Sahara he nearly died of thirst
G C
In the sweltering heat of the Amazon mosquitoes were the worst
C F
Doug the Digger
G C
He travels the whole world round.

From the center of the earth to the hills high above

C Am Em
G C
(Spoken)
You ever have one of those days when nothing seems to be going your way? No matter what you do? And you want to just give up and start all over. And I gotta figure somewhere there’s probably somebody even worse off than I am. So as much as I’d like to, I really can’t complain.
C Am
My ice cream’s melting all over my hands
F G
The video is buffering again
C Am
I had cereal for breakfast but it wasn’t great
F G
The milk is past the sell by date
F G
There’s a fly on the wall I tried to hit it with the broom
C Am
Now it’s buzzing all around the room
F Dm G C
But I’m feeling no pain and I can’t complain
C Am
My dog is angry - want’s to fight
F G
My swimming pool is an awful sight
C Am
The water’s cold and the fish won’t bite
F G
The frogs are croaking all through the night

I feel like the biggest loser in town

My phone is cracked and now the wifi’s down

But I’m feeling no pain and I can’t complain

One morning without warning a pig knocked on the door
C D
The cat was sleeping on the couch, the dog was on the floor
G B7
A cow came down the chimney wearing Santa’s beard
C D
Just when things were getting weird the cat just up and disappeared
G
Where’s that kitty cat at?
G D
Where’s that kitty cat at?
G C
Where’s that kitty cat, where’s that kitty cat
G D G
Where’s that kitty cat at
G E
In these type situations they always blame the dog
C D
Who still was lying on the floor sleeping like a log
G B7
They called him in for questioning, they thought they smelled a rat
C D
The mastermind behind the disappearance of the cat
G
What did the diggity do?

What did the diggity do?

Whatever the diggity dog done did

The cat got up and she went and hid

In case you haven’t been listening
There’s something happening in the kitchen
So everybody pay attention

They know they have to get it right
The happy parents have been waiting
They’ve been long anticipating
Now they’re filled with elation
At the arrival of their new creation

The guacamole says Ole!
The happy enchiladas are dancing with tostadas
Through the night and all day

My Superpowers
03:14
|
|||
|
C
When I was granted three wishes
G C
I thought about what I could wish
C
Perhaps I should fly like an eagle
G C
Maybe swim like a fish
F
If I could have superpowers
C F
I thought about what they might be
C F
Best think it through and carefully choose
G C
Knowing that I only get three
C
The first one came to me easy
G C
I decided I wanted to fly
C
See the world from a different perspective
G C
Looking down from the sky
F
I jumped up and started to swim in the air
C F
Closed my eyes so I wouldn’t look down
C F
I kicked my legs, moved my arms all around
G C
But I couldn’t get more than five feet off the ground
Em
The neighborhood dogs stood below in a row
C
Looking up and barking at me
Em
Try as I might I couldn’t gain any height
F
Flapping my arms frantically
G
To all it was quite plain to see
G7 C
That flying just wasn’t for me
C
The flying was such a disaster
G C
I wanted to just disappear
C
If I could become invisible
G C
I’d hide in plain sight for a year
F
But sneaking around without being seen
C F
Seemed to me a little bit creepy and mean
C F
My heart wasn’t in it, it felt a bit weird
G C
At embarrassing moments I just reappeared.
C
So then I thought X-Ray vision
G C
Might be the best way to go
C
I could see everything hidden from sight
G C
And nobody could possibly know
F
I could see through the ceiling, the sky and the clouds
C F
The door, the floor and the walls
C F
Trouble is when you see through everything
G C
You can’t see nothing at all
C
Now for the time being
G C
I’ll just stay the way that I am
C
I tried my three superpowers
G C
I may never use them again

I’m number one
I was born to run
And I’m not slowing down
I’m well known in this town

I’ll come in first place
I am the fastest turtle in the land
I’m a speedy turtle try to catch me if you can
I’ll win
Again and again
I’ll reach the end - take a nap and a victory lap
Before you can really begin
Every year I win the turtle race and other turtles fail
I’m quicker than a 3 toed sloth and faster than a snail
They call me Ace
I’m setting the pace
I’m winning the race
I’ll come in first place
I’m number one
I was born to run
And I’m not slowing down
I’m well known in this town
I am the fastest turtle in the land
I’m super speedy try to catch me if you can

The dog days of summer have arrived

And summer’s still alive
F C
And everyone is lazy or half crazy in the heat

Folks are rocking on the porch

Or dancing by a tiki torch
C F
The peaches and the summer flowers are sweet
F
Perhaps it’s because of this
F
The dog star is Sirius
D7 Gm
The brightest start up in the summer sky

Or do we call them “Dog Days” because people show their lazy ways

And sit and watch the summer days drift by

The father we’re not really sure

But he must have been a cattle dog of sorts

We go on walks together and enjoy the summer weather

Knowing that the summer will soon end

If you’re feeling sad and grey and missing something every day

C F
For years I lived in Brooklyn and I always had a car
G C
They knew me at the Flat Fix I never went too far
C F
You couldn’t drive a total wreck or something nice and clean

The ideal Brooklyn city car was something in between

If it looked worth stealing it would vanish from your yard

But if it looked too broken down someone would steal the parts

Now I’m ready for a Tesla

Someday I’ll get a Tesla

Now I see Teslas everywhere - what a fine machine

More and more electric cars - people thinking green

For on they have a Tesla and brother that’s a lot.

Scarecrow Joe
02:53
|
|||
|
Scarecrow Joe was a kind gentle soul
Out in the cornfield high on a pole
That’s all he’d known since the day he was born
Stuck up on a pole looking down at the corn
The crows were aware he was just full of straw
Perched on his shoulder they’s giggle and caw
They posed for pictures on top of his hat
But Joe wasn’t really too bothered by that
Most of the time he was all on his own
Out in the cornfield completely alone
He couldn’t climb down and go walk around
He wondered could happiness ever be found?
Stuck up on a pole all night and all day
If anyone visits gotta scare them away
Tormented and laughed at by crows and squirrels
Seemed like he loneliest job in the world.
Farmer Jane wondered while picking the corn
Why is our scarecrow so sad and forlorn?
Something occurred to her right there and then
Perhaps Scarecrow Joe just needs a friend
So she sewed up an outfit and stuffed it with straw
The loveliest scarecrow you ever saw
She called her Sue Ellen set her right next to Joe
Poor sad lonely Joe
When Joe spotted Sue Ellen the world tuned bright
The feeling was mutual - love at first sight
No longer lonely his dream had come true
He said to Sue Ellen I’m sticking with you.
Sunrise filled the skies with warm golden light
They counted the stars in the cool autumn night

Come October, the summer is over

And the days are getting shorter

And the nights are getting colder

And the leaves fall down from the trees
G Em
They cover the ground

Rustling sounds

As we walk around
D C
The air is crisp and cool
D C
And the kids are back in school
D C
Golden fields bearing apples and pumpkins
D G
The trees - they’re really something
G Em
The leaves are aflame
Em C
Red yellow and orange
C D
Nothing rhymes with orange
D C
Acorns and nuts are being gathered
D C
And the squirrels are getting fatter
D C
The nuts disappear as soon as they fall
D G
The squirrels have taken them all
G Em
They haul them away
Em C
To a secret location
C D
Food for the winter

Winter

But it’s still October

Big Black Cat

I’m a big black cat, my eyes are green
My favorite day is Halloween
I don’t care much for the neighborhood cats
I’d rather hang out with spiders and bats
Skeletons, witches, mummies and ghosts
These are the creatures that I like the most
Dm C
On Halloween I like to trick or treat
E Am
Find me something sweet to eat
Dm Am
I’m telling you now so you’ve been warned
E
Better not give me any candy corn
The moon comes up and the sun goes down
And I’ll be creeping all around the town
You cross my path and your luck will change
Before you know it you’ll be feeling strange
They say I’m bad luck but I’m really not mean
I just like to have fun on Halloween
On Halloween I like to trick or treat
Find me something sweet to eat
I’m telling you now so you’ve been warned
Better not give me any candy corn
I’m a big black cat my eyes are green
My favorite day is Halloween

The Possum's Lament
03:45
|
|||
|
Bb D7 Eb Bb
A possum is good but they’re misunderstood
Eb F Bb
My true nature folks don’t understand
Bb D7 Eb Bb
I’m a marsupial and that’s pretty cool
Eb F Bb
Just accept me for what I am
Bb D7 Eb Bb
I sing you my song I won’t be here very long
Eb F Bb
But I’m happy with the life that I’ve lead
Bb D7 Eb Bb
I’m only here for two to three years
Eb F Bb
Including time spent playing dead
Bb D7 Eb Bb
The raccoons break in and knock over the cans
Eb F Bb
And they scatter the trash all around
Bb D7 Eb Bb
But I’m the one found with the trash on the ground
Eb F Bb
It’s a shame but I get the blame
F Eb Bb
People see me in the garbage and think I’m unclean
F Eb F
They look at my teeth and think that I look mean
Bb D7 Eb Bb
I have 50 teeth but I rarely will bite
Eb Bb F Bb
An even when threatened I don’t put up a fight
Bb D7 Eb Bb
I groom myself daily and I eat all the ticks
Eb Bb C F
Five thousand a year and I rarely get sick
Bb D7 Eb Bb
Yeah I eat all the vermin, rodents and fleas
Eb F Bb
But I never get rabies and I’m free of disease
Bb D7 Eb Bb
When I feel threatened my body shuts down
Eb F Bb
And I give off a powerful smell
Bb D7 Eb Bb
It doesn’t make sense but it’s my only defense
Eb F Bb
And it generally serves me pretty well
Bb D7 Eb Bb
They say it’s just a trick and they poke me with a stick
Eb F Bb
Come watch the possum play dead
Bb D7 Eb Bb
They gather around as I lie on the ground
Eb F Bb
And I’ll tell you some things I’ve heard said:
Bb D7 Eb Bb
People say “good grief, the creature’s got 50 teeth

Thanksgiving Memories

Bb
Thanksgiving is tradition
Bb F
We celebrate across the land
F
A chance to spend some time together
F Bb
Eat as much as we can
Your mom’s up early in the kitchen
Been cooking for three days
There’s a TV turned on somewhere
Bot no one’s watching the parade
Waiting for your Dallas cousins
You get to see them twice a year
Easter time you drive to Dallas
On Thanksgiving they come here
When your grandfather comes to visit
A suit and tie on every day
That’s because he is a gentleman
And he likes to dress that way
The group assembles at the table
One by one they take the floor
Each in turn will have their moment
To tell what they are thankful for
Roasted turkey oyster dressing
Potatoes, beans, cranberry sauce
Tofu for the vegetarians
Root vegetables for all
The meal is delicious
The feast is a delight
And even though you’ve eaten way too much
There’s always room for pie
We’re thankful for each other
For the sun the stars the trees
And someday when we’re older
We’ll be thankful for the memories

When I Was Your Age

C Em Am C
When I was your age all the world was a stage
F C Dm G
We waited around with our feet on the ground
C Em Am C
Back then times were tough, we all had it rough
F C G C
But we never complained about the fire and rain
C Em Am C
There were no mobile phones, computers or drones
F C Dm G
We made the best with what we had, the earth was still flat
C Em Am C
And our neighbors next door had a pet dinosaur
F C G C
They kept it in a cage when I was your age
C Em Am C
When you get to be as old as me
F C Dm G
I wonder what kind of future you’ll see
C Em Am C
Commuting to Mars with invisible cars
F C Dm G
You won’t need to eat or drink - won’t even need to think
C Em Am C
Robots and machines will take care of your needs
F C G C
Won’t have to do a thing to be a human being
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
But we must forward
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
Can’t live in the past
A7 Dm
Remembering the good old days
G G7
They were too good to last
C Em Am C
When I was your age there was so much to do
F C Dm G
We made our own shoes and we grew our own food
C Em Am C
And the neighbors next door had a pet dinosaur
F C G C
They kept in a cage when I was your age
C Em Am C
Yes the neighbors next door kept a pet dinosaur
F C G C
Locked up in a cage when I was your age
