I was [C]waltzing with my [Cmaj7]darlin' to the [C7]Tennessee [F]Waltz

When an [C]old friend I [A7]happened to [D7]see. [G7]

Intro[C]duced him to my [Cmaj7]loved one

and [C7]while they were [F]waltzing

my [C]friend stole my [G7]sweetheart from [C]me. [C]

That [C]beautiful [G7]Tennessee [C]Waltz. [C]

Could have [C]broken my [A7]heart so com[D7]plete. [G7]

Well I [C]couldn't blame my [Cmaj7]darlin',

and [C7]who could help [F]fallin'

In [C]love with my [G7]darlin' so [C]sweet. [C]

Chorus 2

Well it [C]must be the [E7]fault of the [F]Tennessee [C]Waltz

Wish I'd [C]known just how [A7]much it would [D7]cost. [G7]

But I [C]didn't see it [C]commin' it’s all [C7]over but the [F]cryin'

Blame it [C]all on the [G7]Tennessee [C]Waltz. [C]

The Boxer –Simon and Garfunkel

[C]I am just a poor boy though my story's seldom [Am]told

I have [G]squandered my resistance

For a [G7]pocket full of mumbles such are [C]promises

All lies and [Am]jests still a [G]man hears what he [F]wants to hear

And disregards the [C]rest hmm[G7]mmmm [C]

[C]When I left my home and my family I was no more than a [Am]boy

In the [G]company of strangers

In the [G7]quiet of the railway station [C]running scared

Laying [Am]low seeking [G]out the poorer [F]quarters

Where the ragged people [C]go

Looking [G7]for the places [F]only they would [C]know

Lie la [Am]lie. Lie la [Em]lie lie lie lie lie

Lie la [Am]lie. Lie la [G7]lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie [C]lie

[C]Asking only workman's wages I come looking for a [Am]job

But I get no [G]offers

Just a [G7]come-on from the whores on Seventh [C]Avenue

I do de[Am]clare there were [G]times when I was [F]so lonesome

I took some comfort [C]there lie la [G7]lie lie lie lie [C]


Lie la [Am]lie. Lie la [G7]lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie [C]lie

Going [G]home where the [G7]New York City winters aren't

[C]Bleeding me [Em]bleeding me [Am]going [G]home [C]

In the [C]clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his [Am]trade

And he [G]carries the reminders of [G7]ev'ry glove that laid him down

Or [C]cut him till he cried out in his anger and his [Am]shame

I am [G]leaving I am [F]leaving but the fighter still re[C]mains m[G7]m [F] [C]

Hallelujah - Leonard Cohen

The [Am]minor fall and the [F]major lift

The [G]baffled king [Em]composing halle[Am]lujah

Chorus

Halle-[F]-lujah, halle-[Am]-lujah,

halle-[F]-lujah, halle-[C]-lu-u-[G]-u-u-[C]-jah ....

Well your [C]faith was strong but you [Am]needed proof

You [C]saw her bathing [Am]on the roof

Her [F]beauty and the [G]moonlight over[C]threw you [G]

She [Am]broke your throne and she [F]cut your hair

And [G]every breath we [Em]drew was halle[Am]lujah

Well, [C]maybe there's a [Am]god above

But [C]all I've ever [Am]learned from love

Was [F]how to shoot some[G]body who out[C]drew you [G]

It's [C]not a cry that you [F]hear at [G]night

It's [Am]not somebody who's [F]seen the light

It's a [G]cold and it's a [Em]broken halle[Am]lujah

Repeat Chorus
