Up on the Roof (Drifters)
G Em When this old world starts getting me down C D And people are just too much for me to face G Em I'll climb way up to the top of the stairs
C D And all my cares just drift right into space
C On the roof it's peaceful as can be G Em C D And there the world below don't bother me
G Em So when I come home feelin' tired and beat C D G I'll go up where the air is fresh and sweet
Em I'll get away from the hustling crowd C D G And all that rat-race noise down in the street
C On the roof that's the only place I know G Em C D Where you just have to wish to make it so (Lets go up on the roof)
C At night the stars put on a show for free G Em C D And darling you can share it all with me
I keep on telling you that G Em Right smack dab in the middle of town C D G I've found a paradise that's trouble proof

Delia's Gone
(Johnny Cash)
A A D A

If I hadn't-a shot poor Delia, I'd have had her for my wife
A D A E A
Delia's gone, one more round, Delia's gone

A D A A7
I went up to Memphis, and I met Delia there
D Bm E
Found her in her parlor, and I tied her to her chair
A D A E A
Delia's gone, one more round, Delia's gone
She was low-down and travellin', and she was cold and mean
Kind of evil make me want to grab my sub-machine
Delia's gone, one more round, Delia's gone
First time I shot her, I shot her in the side
Hard to watch her suffer, but with the second shot she died
Delia's gone, one more round, Delia's gone
But jailer, oh jailer, jailer I can't sleep
'Cuz all around my bedside I hear the patter of Delia's feet
Delia's gone, one more round, Delia's gone
So if your woman's devilish, you can let her run
Or you can bring her down and do her like Delia got done
Delia's gone, one more round, Delia's gone
A D A E A E A
Delia's gone, one more round, Delia's gone

Helplessly Hoping CSN (1969)
Am7 C G D
Helplessly hoping her harlequin hovers near-by, awaiting a word.
Am7 C G D
Gasping at glimpses of gentle true spirit he runs wishing he
could fly

only to trip at the sound of good-bye...
Am7 C G
Wordlessly watching he waits by the window and wonders at the
empty

Heartlessly helping him-self to her bad dreams he worries did he
hear

a goodbye or even... hel-lo?
CHORUS

They are one person, they are two a-lone, they are three to-
gether, they

Stand by the starway you'll see something certain to tell you
confusion

has its cost.

choking... on hel-lo.

I once had a girl, or should I say
C D
she once had me.
She showed me her room, isn't it good?
C D
Norwegian wood.
Dm G
She asked my to stay and told me to sit anywhere,
Dm Em A A7
So I looked around and I noticed there wasn't a chair.
#2.
D
I sat on a rug, biding my time,
C D
drinking her wine.
We talked until two, and then she said,
C D
It's time for bed.
Dm G
She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh,
Dm Em A A7
I told her I didn't, and crawled off to sleep in the bath.
#3.
D C D
And when I awoke, I was alone, this bird has flown.
So I lit a fire, isn't it good?
C D C D C Dm7 D
Norwegian wood.

Teach Your Children
D G
You who are on the road
D A
Must have a code that you can live by
D G
And so become yourself
D A
Because the past is just a good-bye.
D G
Teach your children well,
D A
Their father's hell did slowly go by,
D G
And feed them on your dreams
D A
The one they picks, the one you'll know by.
D G D
Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry,
Bm G A
So just look at them and sigh
D G A D
and know they love you.
And you, of tender years,
Can't know the fears that your elders grew by,
And so please help them with your youth,
They seek the truth before they can die.
Teach your parents well,
Their children's hell will slowly go by,
And feed them on your dreams
The one they picks, the one you'll know by.
Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry,
So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.
Know they love you
