A               D
Some guys have all the luck
          Bm
Some guys have all the pain
          G
Some guys get all the breaks
          A
Some guys did nothing but complain

D
Alone in a crowd on a bus after work
      Bm
and I'm dreaming
G
The guy next to me has a girl in his arms
       A
My arms are empty

D
How does it feel when the girl next to you
       Bm
says she loves you
G
It seem so unfair when there's love everywhere
        A
but there's none for me

Some guys have all the luck
Some guys have all the pain
Some guys get all the breaks
Some guys did nothing but complain

Someone to take on a walk by the lake
Lord let it be me
Someone who's shy
Someone who'll cry at sad movies
I know I would die if I ever found out
she was fooling me
You're just a dream and as real as it seems
I ain't that lucky

Some guys have all the luck
Some guys have all the pain
Some guys get all the breaks
Some guys did nothing but complain

All of my friends have a ring on their finger
They have someone
Someone to care for them it ain't fair
I got no one
The car overheated
I called up and pleaded
There's help on the way
I called you collect you didn't accept
You had nothing to say


Some guys have all the luck
Some guys have all the pain
Some guys get all the breaks
Some guys did nothing but complain

But if you were here with me
I'd feel so happy I could cry
You are so dear to me
I just can't let you say goodbye

   Outside another yellow moon
                 C           D
   Has punched a hole in the nighttime

   I climb through the window and down to the street

   I'm shining like a new dime

   The downtown trains are full
C       C           D       D
   With all those Brooklyn girls
Em          Em     D/F#             D/F#
   They try so hard to break out of their little world

You wave your hand and they scatter like crows
They have nothing that will ever capture your heart
They're just thorns without the rose
Oh, be careful of them in the dark

And if I was the one
You chose to be your only one
Oh baby now, can't you hear me now

G         G         C     C    G      G        C     C

   Where every night     is just the same;      You leave me lonely now

(Now) I know your window and I know it's late
I know your stairs and your doorway
I walk down your street and past your gate
I stand by the light at the fourway

You watch them as they fall
Ooh, and they all have heart attacks
They stay at the carnival, but they'll never win you back

Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
Where every night, every night is just the same; you leave me lonely

Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
Where every night, every night is just the same, all upon a downtown

Intro: C/Dm/C/F/C/C/D/D7/G/G7

F                       C
Wasted and wounded, it ain't what the moon did
      Dm          G       C-G-C
I've got what I paid for now
F                      C
See you tomorrow, hey Frank, can I borrow
   D                    G
A couple of bucks from you to go
C            G        C          G      C          G
Waltzing Matilda,   waltzing Matilda, you'll go waltzing
Dm            G
Matilda with me

I'm an innocent victim of a blinded alley
And I'm tired of all these soldiers here
No one speaks English and everything's broken
And my strength is soaking away to go
Waltzing Matilda,... waltzing Matilda, you'll go waltzing
Matilda with me

Now I've lost my St. Christopher
Now that I've kissed her
And the one-armed bandit knows
And the maverick Chinaman with a cold blooded sigh
And the girls down by the striptease shows go
Waltzing Matilda,... waltzing Matilda, you'll go waltzing
Matilda with me

No, I don't want your sympathy
The fugitives say, that the streets ain't for dreaming now
Manslaughter dragnets and the ghosts that sell memories
Want a piece of the action anyhow go
Waltzing Matilda,... waltzing Matilda, you'll go waltzing
Matilda with me


And it's a battered old suitcase
To a hotel someplace
And a wound that would never heal
No primadonnas, the perfume is on
        Dm             G
An old shirt that is stained

G7     C    G    C
With blood and whiskey
           F
And it's good-night to the street-sweepers,
            C
The nightwatchmen, flame-keepers
      Dm        G  G7  C
And goodnight matilda, too

D     G 
I had nothing to do on this hot afternoon
       A                          D
But to settle down and write you a line
          G
I've been meaning to phone you but from Minnesota
A                          D
Hell it's been a very long time

            A
You wear it well
 Em          D             G          A
A little old fashioned but that's all right

D        G 
Well I suppose you're thinking I bet he's sinking
      A                          D
Or he wouldn't get in touch with me
          G
Oh I ain't begging or losing my head
A                     D
I sure do want you to know 

                 A
that you wear it well
 Em           D           G       A
There ain't a lady in the land so fine

D        G 
Remember them basement parties, your brother's karate
A                          D
The all day rock and roll shows
     G
Them homesick blues and radical views
A                     D
Haven't left a mark on you, 

            A
you wear it well
Em              D          G     A
A little out of time but I don't mind

              G                           D
But I ain't forgetting that you were once mine
       G                   D
But I blew it without even tryin'
        G
Now I'm eatin' my heart out
A                      D
Tryin' to get a letter through

Em                D                 G     A 
Since you've been gone it's hard to carry on

I'm gonna write about the birthday gown that I bought in town
A                                  D
When you sat down and cried on the stairs
                   G
You knew it did not cost the earth, but for what it's worth
A                           D
You made me feel a millionaire 

                A
and you wear it well
Em       D            G        A
Madame Onassis got nothing on you

D            G
Anyway, my coffee's cold and I'm getting told
A                        D
That I gotta get back to work
             G
So when the sun goes low and you're home all alone
A                          D
Think of me and try not to laugh 

               A
and I wear it well
Em          D           G     A
I don't object if you call collect

D                     G                      D
'Cause I ain't forgetting that you were once mine
       G                     D
But I blew it without even tryin'
        G                   A                           D
Now I'm eatin' my heart out tryin' to get back to you

Em            D                      G    A
After all the years I hope it's the same address
Em                D                  G    A
Since you've been gone it's hard to carry on

    G                 F                    C
All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand
    G                       F                            C
But you turned into a lover and mother what a lover you wore me out
     F                   C           F                      G
All you did was wreck my bed and in the morning kick me in the head
    Dm              Em            Dm (Em)
Oh Maggie I couldn't have tried anymore
    G                    F                G               F
You lured me away from home 'cause you didn't want to be alone
   F                           G                  F - C
You stole my heart I couldn't leave you if  I  tried
  G                          F                  C
I suppose I should collect my books and get back to school
  G                             F                   C
Or steal my daddy's cue make a living out of playing pool
 F                     C          F                    G
Or find myself a rock and roll band that needs a helping hand
   Dm            Em                  Dm  (Em)
Oh Maggie, I wish I'd never seen your face
   G                       F          G                           F
You made a first class fool out of me, but I'm as blind as a fool can be
   F             G           F - C
You stole my heart but I love you any--way

     You ask me if I love you, and I choke on my reply.
     F#M             BM             E                  A
I'd rather hurt you honestly, than mislead you with a lie

And who am I to judge you on what you say or do

I'm only just beginning to see the real you.

Chorus

     And sometimes when we touch. The honesty's too much
  BM       E                      A
And I have to close my eyes, and hide.
     D                   D/G           A                F#/A
I wanna hold you till I die, till we both break down, and cry.

I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides.

     Romance in all its strategy has me battling with my pride
  F#M             BM              E           A
  But though the insecurity some tenderness survies
     EM            A             D                BM
  Im just another writer still trapped with in my truths
       G           F#/D               E  F#         A
  A hesitant prize fighter still trapped with in my youth.

    And sometimes when we touch the honestys too much
      BM      E                       A
    and I have to close my eyes, and hide

    a brother or a sister, but then the passion flares again.

    Repeat chorus.

I didn't know what day it was when you walked into the room
    F          Em7           Dm7              C

  F                    Em7               Dm7                C
Breezin' through the clientele, spinnin yarns that were so lyrical

Your fashion sense for Beardsley prints, I put down up to experience

     F                Em7                     Dm7                  F

You're ageless, timeless, lace and fineness, you're beauty and elegance
           F         Em7              Dm7              C
You're a rhapsody, a comedy, you're a symphony and a play
       F               Em7                      Dm7                C
You're every love song ever written, but honey what do you see in me?

You're an essay in glamour, please pardon the grammer, but you're every schoolboy's dream
        F                 Em7                           Dm7                  C
You're Celtic united, but baby I've decided, you're the best team I've ever seen
 F                    Em7                Dm7                   C
And there have been, many affairs, many times I've thought to leave
 F                    Em7                           Dm7                   F

Dm                A                 E                A
I wasted all that precious time and blamed it on the wine

A          D  E         A
I was only jo-king  my dear (my dear)
              D      E        A
Looking for a way to hide my fear (my fear)
A            D  E      A
What kind of fo-ol was I (was I)
               E
I could never win (never win)

Dm             A                    E                       A
Verse seven is never clear but I'll tell you what you wanna hear

I'll try to give you all you want but givin love is not my strongest point
Dm                                A        E               A
If that's the case it's pointless goin' on I'd rather be alone
A                   Amaj7         A7                   D
Cause what I'm doin must be wrong pourin my heart out in a song
Dm                 A             E                   A
Owning up for prosperity for the whole damn world to see

A                   Amaj7       A7                        D
Quietly now while I turn a page Act twenty's over without costume change

Hey, honestamente te explicaré 
de natural modo cada fenómeno
El mar, el sol, el gas,

Anguilas que, yo las enterré, 
de la palmera los cocos creé
Un consejo, una lección te doy
No me molestes si en mi descanso estoy

  El tapiz que en mi piel se ve, 
F
  es el mapa de lo que gané

  Por donde fui provoqué mil sucesos

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ¡Hey!

King Creole

Verse 1:
G                                    Em        G        Em
There was a girl who lived in London town.
G                                 Em                   G      Em
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
C                                   D
She had polkadots and rubies in her dreams,
C                   D
French fantasies on cinema screens...
        C             G/B    Am     G
And she knew from the finish to the start
C      G/B      Am   G
It was bound to fall apart
C         G/B     Am   Em
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Em                                D
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?

G     Em      G      Em

Verse 2: (the same chords)
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...

And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                        F
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

   C              G           F
Behold his golden wings
       C              G         F
And behold his bronze bow.
                 C             G         F
Can you hear his silver arrows sing?
       C               G     
As his gaylied favours glow.

(then go back to the normal verse bit)

There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...

And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                         F
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart? 

C   G    F    C    G

Repeat F  C  G until the end. End on G.

Arrows Of Eros

Am
There's a sadness all around us
          F                         C
There are words we're too afraid to say
                                        Am
The things that I thought would last forever
    F              G
Are changing every day

          Am
There's a hunger can't be satisfied
        F                       C
And the streets are filled with rage
C                       Am
It's time to dig deep inside ourselves
F                       G
And face the life we've made

Am
It's gonna take two of us
C                           Am
Ijust can't do it all on my own
F				  C
I see the day gettin' brighter
G                    F
Hold me a little bit tighter

C                      Am      F
Out of the darkness in hand in hand
     Am               F        G
Baby together we will make our stand
C                             Am      F
Reach out and touch me we can win somehow
       Am              F                G
I know there's nothing that can stop us now
F              Am                 G   C
Oh, baby, come with me out of the darkness
