Just take those old records off the shelf
                    A 
I sit and listen to them by my self
                     B 
Today's music ain't got the same soul
                         E             B 
I like that old time rock and roll
                            E 
Don't try to take me to a disco
                             A 
You'll never even get me out on the floor
                               B 
In ten minutes I'll be late for the door
                          E            B

Yeah, I'm gonna tell my tale come on,
Come on, give a listen

                  E                 D
Cause I was born lonely down by the riverside
                A                         E
Learned to spin fortune wheels, and throw dice
               E                      D
And I was just thirteen when I had to leave home
                A                      E
Knew I couldn't stick around, I had to roam
            E                      D
Ain't good looking, but you know I ain't shy
                A                     E
Ain't afraid to look it girl, hear me out
                    E                      D
So if you need some lovin, and you need it right away
              A                   E
Take a little time out, and maybe I'll stay

Chorus:
             E                D
But I got to ramble (ramblin' man)
            A                E
Oh I got to gamble (gamblin' man)
              E                D
Got to got to ramble (ramblin' man)
             A                 E
I was born a ramblin' gamblin' man

E // D // A // E
Yeah alright bring it on now here we go now now

           E                       D
I'm out of money, cause you know I need some
                  A                   E
I ain't around to love you now, and I must run
           E                   D
Gotta keep moving, never gonna slow down
                  A                    E
You can have your funky world, see you 'round

Night Moves

Intro: D  C  G  Em 2x
 
   D                        C     G        Em
I remember standing on the corner at midnight
               D         C     G   Em
Trying to get my courage up
           D                         C             G     Em
There was this long lovely dancer in a little club downtown
                 D              C    G     Em
I loved to watch her do her stuff
 
            Bm          Bsus2   Bm            Bsus2
Through the long lonely nights, she filled my sleep
    F#m         G          Em         A7sus4
Her body softly swaying to that smoky beat
 
      D          C  G  Em
Down on Mainstreet
      D          C  G  Em
Down on Mainstreet
 
       D           C                G      Em
In the pool halls, the hustlers and the losers
                    D              C   G   Em
I used to watch 'em through the glass
          D             C           G   Em
Well I'd stand outside at closing time
                D        C    G   Em
Just to watch her walk on past
 
       Bm            Bsus2              Bm           Bsus2
Unlike all the other ladies, she looked so young and sweet
       F#m        G              Em        A7sus4
As she made her way alone down that empty street
 
      D          C  G  Em
Down on Mainstreet
      D          C  G  Em
Down on Mainstreet

Repeat Intro: D  C  G  Em 2x 

     Bm            Bsus2         Bm                 Bsus2
And sometimes even now, when I'm feeling lonely and beat
   F#m       G           Em        A7sus4
I drift back in time and I find my feet
 
      D          C  G  Em

      D          C  G  Em

INTRO & BRIDGE: G

VERSE 1:
G
  It seems like yesterday,
Bm
   but it was long ago.
C                               G
  Janey was lovely; she was the queen of my nights.
D                              C
There in the darkness with the radio, playing low.
        G
And the secrets that we shared,
Bm
  the mountains that we moved,
C                    G
Caught like wildfire out of control
               D                                      D
till there was nothing left to burn and nothing left to prove.
        Em     D                G
And I remember what she said to me.
        Em            C           G
How she swore that it never would end.
        Em             D         C
I remember how she held me,  oh so tight.
C                             D
Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then.

CHORUS:
G           Bm   C                            G
Against the wind. We were running against the wind.
        C                        Am7       C          G
We were young and strong, we were running against the wind.

VERSE2:
And the years rolled slowly past.
And I found myself alone.
Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends.
I found myself further and further from my home.
And I guess I lost my way.
There were oh, so many roads.
I was living to run, and running to live,
Never worrying about paying, or even how much I owed.
Runnin' 8 miles a minute for months at a time.
Breaking all of the rules that would bend.
I begin to find myself just searching.
Searching for shelter again and again.

CHORUS 2:
Against the wind.   A little something against the wind.
I found myself seeking shelter against the wind.

VERSE 3:
(Solo for 1st 2 stanzas of verse)
Well those drifter's days are past me now.
I've got so much more to think about.
Deadlines and commitments.
What to leave in. What to leave out.

CHORUS 3:
Against the wind.
I'm still running against the wind.
I'm older now but still running against the wind.

OUTRO:
         C     *             Am7        C
Well I'm older now and still running against the wind.
(alternate G & C to fade)
Against the wind.  Against the wind.  Against the wind  -- still running.
Against the wind -- I'm still running against the wind.
Against the wind -- I'm still running.
Against the wind -- I'm still running against the wind.
Against the wind -- still running.
Against the wind -- running against the wind -- running against the wind
Against the wind -- see the young man run.
Against the wind -- watch the young man run.
Against the wind -- watch the young man running.
Against the wind -- he'll be running against the wind.
Against the wind -- let the cowboys ride.
Against the wind -- Oooh
Against the wind -- let the cowboys ride.
Against the wind -- they'll be riding again the wind.
Against the wind -- against the wind.
Against the wind -- riding against the wind.
Against the wind -- against the wind.
Ride, ride, ride, ride, ride -- against the wind.

Against The Wind

G                            Am
Passed the old church on the edge of town
Bm                         G
Trailways bus was right on time
G                            Am
Passed your uncle's store on main street
Bm                          G
His old truck was parked outside
G                         Am
Everything seemed so much larger then
Bm                       G
This old town has hardly grown
G                  Am     
Has it really been ten long years

You'll just say you're comin' home
G                              Am
You left your hometown for the city lights
Bm                          G
You were young and you were strong
G                       Am
Lots of traffic lots of sleepless nights
Bm                           G
Lots of dreams that all went wrong
G                               Am
You'll just tell them what they want to hear
Bm                        G
How you took the place by storm
G                           Am
You won't tell them how you lost it all
Bm                            G
You'll just say you're comin' home

Coming Home

G
   I was a little too tall
				F
  Could've used a few pounds
C					F
  Tight pants points hardly renown
G							F
  She was a black haired beauty with big dark eyes
C						F        G         F
  And points all her own sitting way up high
C			   F
  Way up firm and high

  Out past the cornfields where the woods got heavy
C					   F
  Out in the backseat of my '60 Chevy

  Workin on mysteries without any clues

  We weren't in love, oh no, far from it
C							      F
  We weren't searchin' for some pie in the sky summit

G						F
  We were just young and restless and bored
C			F
  Livin' by the sword
G						   F
  And we'd steal away every chance we could
C							F
  To the backroom, to the alley or the trusty woods

                  E                 D
Cause I was born lonely down by the riverside
                A                         E
Learned to spin fortune wheels, and throw dice
               E                      D
And I was just thirteen when I had to leave home
                A                      E
Knew I couldn't stick around, I had to roam
            E                      D
Ain't good looking, but you know I ain't shy
                A                     E
Ain't afraid to look it girl, hear me out
                    E                      D
So if you need some lovin, and you need it right away
              A                   E
Take a little time out, and maybe I'll stay

Chorus:
             E                D
But I got to ramble (ramblin' man)
            A                E
Oh I got to gamble (gamblin' man)
              E                D
Got to got to ramble (ramblin' man)
             A                 E
I was born a ramblin' gamblin' man

E // D // A // E
Yeah alright bring it on now here we go now now

           E                       D
I'm out of money, cause you know I need some
                  A                   E
I ain't around to love you now, and I must run
           E                   D
Gotta keep moving, never gonna slow down
                  A                    E
You can have your funky world, see you 'round

VERSE 1:
    C                                     Em   G
You always won, ev'ry time you placed a bet.
       C                                         Em   G
You're still damn good; no one's gotten to you yet.
F           G                               C
Ev'ry time, they were sure they had you caught,
Em                                Am
you were quicker than they thought.
 Dm                           G
You'd just turn your back and walk.

You always said, the cards would never do you wrong.
    C                                              Em   G
The trick you said, was never play the game too long.
  F                    G                           C
A gambler's share; the only risk that you would take,
    Em                         Am
the only loss you could forsake,
    Dm                      G
the only bluff you couldn't fake.


CHORUS:
                         C
And you're still the same.
    E                         A
I caught up with you yesterday.
                  Dm                         G
Movin' game to game; no one standin' in your way.
                   C   E                        A
Turnin' on the charm - long enough to get you by.
                     Dm               G
You're still the same.  You still aim high.

There you stood; ev'ry body watched play.
E                            Am
I just turned and walked away.
Dm                    G
I had nothing left to say.

OUT-CHORUS (repeat & fade):
                         C       Em   G
And you're still the same.
                         C       Em   G
And you're still the same.
                   C       Em   G
Movin' game to game.
                        C       Em   G
Some things never change.
                         C       Em    G
And you're still the same.

Still The Same

Intro:  C Em Am G play 4 times

C         Em         Am     G
 Take away my inhibitions
C     Em          Am        G
 Take away my solitude
C        Em                Am     G
 Fire me up with your resistance
               C       Em     Am    G
Mmm put me in the mood
C        Em                    Am   G
 Storm the walls around this prison,
C             Em               Am    G
 Leave the inmates,  free the guards

C              Em      Am           G
 Deal me up another future from some
                  C      Em     Am    G
Brand new deck of cards


F                                  G
Take the chip off from my shoulder,
C           Cmaj7      Am
Smooth out all the lines
F                    C           G    F   C 
 G
Take me out among the rustlin' pines
C         Em         Am      G
 Till it shines
C         Em         Am                G
 Till it shines


Like an echo down a canyon,
Never coming back this clear
Lately I just judge the distance,
Not the words I hear
I've been too long on these islands,
I've been far too long alone
I've been too long without summer
in this winter home.

Still if we can make the effort
If we take the time
Maybe we can leave this much behind
Till it shines
Mm Till it shines

Instrumental verse

See the rich man lost and lonely
Watch him as he dines, sitting there just tasting all the wines
Till it shines
Mm Till it shines
Till it Shines   repeat
Instrumental & fade

Till It Shines

Em
on a long and lonely highway east of omaha
        D
you can listen to the engine, moanin out as one long song
        A                                                     Em
you can think about the woman, or the girl you knew the night before

and your thoughts will soo be wandering the way they always do
when your riding sixteen hours and there's nothing much to do
you don't feel much like travelin', you just wish the trip was through

CHORUS:
           D               Em
but here I am, on the road again
       D               Em
here I am, up on the stage
       D               A
here I go, playing the star again
        C  D         Em
there I go, turn the page


you walk into a restaraunt, strung out from the road
and you feel the eyes opon you, as your shaking off the cold
you pretend it doesn't bother you, but you just want to explode

sometimes you hear 'em talkin', other times you can't
all the same 'ole cliche's is that a woman or a man
and you always seem outnumbered, you dare not make a stand

CHORUS

out there in the spotlight, your a million miles away
every ounce of energy, you try to give away
and the sweat pours from your body, like the music that you play

later on that evening, as you lie awake in bed
echos of the amplifiers, ringin in your head
and you smoke the days last cigarette, remembering what you said

Turn The Page

This song is a poetic paean to adolescence.  It captures that mix of insecurity and swagger that came with that age.  He nails the kind of powerful teenage desire that is both exhilarating and frustrating all at once.  You can almost smell the heat of a Midwestern summer night as he takes us through cornfields and woods.  The memories it brings back for many of us are heart-rending and tear-jerking . . .

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café

La la la la la la la la Yeah,

American Dream 

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

get a friend to strum the chords: C, G, Em, D in the background
:)
