Blowin' In the Wind (Bob Dylan)
G C GHow many roads must a man walk down
G C Dsus4 DBefore you call him a man?G C G
How many seas must a white dove sailG C Dsus4 D
Before she sleeps in the sand?G C G
How many times must the cannonballs flyG C Dsus4 D
Before they're forever banned?
CHORUS:C D G Em
The answer, my friends, is blowing in the wind C D G
The answer is blowing in the wind
How many years can a mountain exist Before it's washed to the sea?How many years must some people exist Before they're allowed to be free?And how many times can a man turn his head And pretend that he just doesn't see?CHORUSHow many times can a man look up Before he sees the sky?How many ears must one man have Before he can hear people cry?And how many deaths will it take 'til he knows That too many people have died?

C Am Em DAnd moss grows fat on a rolling stone but that's not how it used to be
G D EmWhen the jester sang for the king and queen
Am7 C Em A7 DIn a coat he borrowed from James Dean in a voice that came from you and me
Em D Em DAnd while the king was looking down, the jester stole his thorny crown
C G A7 C D7The courtroom was adjourned, no verdict was returned

G D Em C D7 G C GAnd we sang dirges in the dark the day the music died, we were singin'
CHORUS:G C G D
So bye, bye Miss American PieG C G D

C Am Em DThe birds flew off with a fallout shelter, eight miles high and fallin' fast
G D EmIt landed foul on the grass
Am7 C Em A7 DThe players tried for a forward pass, with the jester on the sidelines in a cast
Em D Em DNow at halftime there was sweet perfume, while sergeants played a marching tune
C G A7 C D7We all got up to dance, but we never got the chance
G D Em Am C'Cuz the players tried to take the field, the marching band refused to yield
G D Em C D7 G C GDo you recall what was the feel the day the music died, we started singin'CHORUS(cont.)
G AmAnd there we were all in one place,
C Am Em DA generation lost in space, with no time left to start again
G D Em Am7 CSo come on Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, Jack Flash sat on a candlestick

Em D Em DAnd as I watched him on the stage, my hands were clenched in fists of rage
C G A7 C D7No angel born in hell could break that Satan's spell

So bye, bye Miss American PieG C G D
Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dryG C G D
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Em A7Singin' this will be the day that I die, Em D7This will be the day that I die
G D EmI met a girl who sang the blues
Am C Em DAnd I asked her for some happy news, but she just smiled and turned away
G D EmI went down to the sacred store
Am CWhere I'd heard the music years before,
Em C DBut the man there said the music wouldn't play
Em Am Em AmBut in the streets the children screamed, the lovers cried and the poets dreamed
C G Am C DBut not a word was spoken, the church bells all were broken
G D Em Am7 C D7And the three men I admire most, the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost
G D Em Am7 D7 GThey caught the last train for the coast the day the music died,D7And they were singin'

The Boxer (Simon and Garfunkel)
C AmI am just a poor boy, though my story's seldom told
GI have squandered my resistance
CFor a pocketful of mumbles such are promises
Am G FAll lies and jest still a man hears what he wants to hear
C G CAnd disregards the restWhen I left my home and family I was no more than a boy In the company of strangersIn the quiet of a railway station running scaredLaying low seeking out the poorer quarters where the ragged people go Looking for the places only they would know
CHORUS:Am
Lie-la-lieG
Lie-la-lie la lie-la-lieAm
Lie la lieF G C
Lie-la-lie la la la la lie la la la la lie
Asking only workman's wages I come looking for a job But I get no offersJust a come-on from the whores on seventh avenueI do declare there were times when I was so lonesome I took some comfort there Ooo-la-la la la la la
Then I'm laying out my winter clothes And wishing I was goneGoing home where the New York City winters aren't bleeding me Leading meGoing homeIn the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his trade And he carries the remindersOf ev'ry glove that laid him down or cut him 'till he cried out In his anger and his shame"I am leaving, I am leaving." But the fighter still remainsCHORUS
The Times They Are A-changin' (Bob Dylan)
G Em C G
Come gather 'round people wherever you roamG Am C D
And admit that the waters around you have grownG Em C G
And accept it that soon you'll be drenched to the boneG Am D
If your time to you is worth savin'D Cadd9 G D
Then you better start swimmin' or you'll sink like a stone,G C D G
For the times, they are a chang - in'
Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pen And keep your eyes wide the chance won't come again And don't speak too soon for the wheel's still in spin And there's no tellin' who that it's namin'For the loser now will be later to win For the times they are a-changin'
Come mothers and fathers throughout the land And don't criticize what you don't understandYour sons and your daughters are beyond your command Your old road is rapidly agin'Please get out of the new one if you can't lend a hand For the times they are a-changin'
Come senators, congressmen please heed the call Don't stand in the doorway, don't block up the hall For he that gets hurt will be he who has stalled There's a battle outside and it's ragin'It'll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls For the times they are a-changin'
The line it is drawn the curse it is cast The slow one now will later be fastAs the present now will later be past The order is rapidly fadin'
And the first one now will later be last For the times they are a-changin'
