Somewhere

G    D               G-C-G
A ray of hope flickers in the sky
            Em               D-C-D
A tiny star lights up way up high
     C               D                 Bm
All across the land, dawns a brand new morn
Em            D    Am     D7       G
This comes to pass when a child is born


         G    D               G-C-G
A silent wish sails the seven seas
                    Em             D-C-D
The winds of change whisper in the trees
        C              D                   Bm
And the walls of doubt crumble, tossed and torn
Em            D    Am     D7       G
This comes to pass when a child is born


       G   D            G-C-G
A rosy hue settles all around
                    Em              D-C-D
You've got the feel you're on solid ground
         C          D               Bm
For a spell or two, no-one seems forlorn
Em            D    Am     D7       G
This comes to pass when a child is born



And all of this happens because the world is waiting,
Waiting for one child
Black, white, yellow, no-one knows
But a child that will grow up and turn tears to laughter,
Hate to love, war to peace and everyone to everyone's neighbour
And misery and suffering will be words to be forgotten, forever


           G      D           G-C-G
It's all a dream, an illusion now
                   Em                D-C-D
It must come true, sometime soon somehow
     C               D                 Bm
All across the land, dawns a brand new morn
Em            D    Am     D7       G
This comes to pass when a child is born

When A Child Is Born

Em   B7  Em       G   Em        F 
A time for us, someday there will be 
      Em    Dm   C  Am7alt  Dm   Am          Am Dm 
When chains are torn by    cour  age born of a love  
Bm7     Am 
that is free, 
   Em   B7  Em         G   Em    F 
A time when dreams so long de - nied

Can flour - ish as we un - veil the love we now must

Refrain 
   C        G     Dm     Am 
A time for us at last to see

A life worth while for you and me 
    Em   B7  Em            G    Em    F 
And with our love through tears and thorns 
   Em   Dm    C  Am7alt Dm  Am   Dm     Am   Dm    Bm7 
We will en - dure  as   we pass sure -  ly through  the  
  Am 
storm. 
   Em  B7  Em       G   Em        F 
A time for us, someday there will be 
  Dm   Em       Am   G   F     Rm  Am    G   F  Em  Am 
A new world, a world of shin - ing hope for you and me.

Couldn't Stand The Weather

G      Em
I found a love for me
               C                         D
Darling just dive right in, and follow my lead
                G                 Em
Well I found a girl beautiful and sweet
          C                                  D
I never knew you were the someone waiting for me

                                 G
Cause we were just kids when we fell in love
              Em                     C               G  D
Not knowing what it was, I will not give you up this ti-ime
                   G                         Em
But darling just kiss me slow, your heart is all I own
             C                  D
And in your eyes you’re holding mine

       Em   C            G          D              Em
Baby, I’m dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
C                G     D                Em
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
          C                G                 D              Em
When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath

She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I’ll share her home
           G             Em
I found a love, to carry more than just my secrets
         C                              D
To carry love, to carry children of our own

                              G                     Em 
We are still kids, but we’re so in love, fighting against all odds
                  C               G  D
I know that we’ll be alright this ti-ime
               G                            Em 
Darling just hold my hand, be my girl, I’ll be your man
          C              D
I see my future in your eyes



       Em   C            G          D              Em
Baby, I’m dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
C                G     D                Em

Perfect

Intro -- Dm

Dm                       F
This is the song where I listen

Bb                       G
This is the song where I sit still

  Dm                                     F
I called the dogs off all the things I?m missing

       Bb
And to everyone but you before I set sail


       G          Eb         Bb
I said good luck, good luck, good luck

          C/G
These are tough times

          Eb
But we?ll get by

     Bb
Good luck


Dm                         F
This is the song where you speak up

Bb                             G
This is the song where you get moving

    Dm                            F
You cried some trouble out into a tea cup

       Bb
And to me but no-one else before you threw it



         G          Eb         Bb
You said good luck, good luck, good luck

          C/G
These are tough times 

          Eb
But we?ll get by

     Bb
Good luck


Dm F Bb G (4 times)


Dm                            F
I put ashore in front of our apartment

    Bb                                       G
And watched you comb the stoop for shards of porcelain

     Dm                                         F
Satisfied that there were none that broke the silence

          Bb
And after this I promise not to interrupt again


      Dm                       F
Cause this is the song where I listen

Bb                       G
This is the song where I sit still

  Dm                                     F
Until our heartbeats drown out the clock ticking

        Bb
And the song is just I love you and always will


G          Eb         Bb
Good luck, good luck, good luck

          C/G
these are tough times

          Eb
But We?ll get by

     Bb
Good luck 

          C/G
these are tough times

          Eb
But We?ll get by

     Bb
Good luck 

          C/G
these are tough times

          Eb
But We?ll get by

     Bb
Good luck

This Is The Song

E                              B                 A
I don't have much to give, but I don't care for gold
A           G#             F#m                     E
What use is money, when you need someone to hold
E                              B               A
Don't have direction I'm just rolling down this road
A           G#             F#m                     E
Waiting for you to bring me in from out the cold

        F#m                                 G#m
You'll never know the endless nights, the rhyming of the rain,
   F#m                               B
Or how it feels to fall behind and watch you call his name

E                            A/F#m
Pack up and leave everything, don't you see what I can bring
A           G#         F#m      E
Can't keep this beating heart at bay
E                            A/F#m
Set my midnight terror free, I will give you all of me
C#m         F#7     A       E
Leave your lover, leave him for me

E                               B              A
We sit in bars and raise our drinks to growing old
A       A/G#                F#m         E
I'm in love with you and you will never know
E                              B             A
But if I can't have you I'll walk this life alone
A              G#              F#m            E
Spare you the rising storms and let the river flow

        F#m                                 G#m
You'll never know the endless nights, the rhyming of the rain,
    F#m                              B
Or how it feels to fall behind and watch you call his name

E                             A/F#m
Pack up and leave everything, don't you see what I can bring
A           G#         F#m      E
Can't keep this beating heart at bay
E                           A/F#m
Set my midnight terror free, I will give you all of me
C#m         F#7     A         E
Leave your lover, leave him for me
C#m         F#7     A         E
Leave your lover, leave him for me

Leave Your Lover

F#m              A            E
Waited for your call, for the moon
   F#m                  A           E
To release me from the longest afternoon
     F#m               A            E  
I've re-arranged parts of my living room
     Bm                              D                                   
But time is hard to kill since I met you



    F#m            A                  E 
I'm looking at the cars that drive on by
      F#m              A           E 
While spring is making promise outside
F#m                A         E     
Red cars are quite rare I realise
       Bm                      D
Then I wonder which colour you like



A
Seven little numbers
       E
Baby, they could be a start
F#m
Seven little numbers
       D
Baby, I know yours by heart




F#m       A         E                                   F#m
    Woo-oah, oh-oh, all the pretty things that we could be
          A           E                          F#m
    Woo-oah, oh-oh, I feel you in every heart beat
          A             E                                        Bm
    Woo-oah, oh-oh, were you ever in a dream that could come true
              D                  F#m                  
These numbers could be lucky for you


(Break)


F#m                  A             E
Watch the sky change to a darkened blue
  F#m                   A         E
I can't think of another thing to do
    F#m             A                 E 
And every song just makes me think of you
            Bm           
Because the singers sounds as if she was longing,
       D
As if she was longing, too


A
Seven little numbers
       E
Baby, they could be a start
F#m
Seven little numbers
       D
Baby, I know yours by heart
A
Seven little numbers
      E
Baby they could make a change
F#m
Seven little numbers
                  D
Make a fire out of this flame



F#m       A         E                                   F#m
    Woo-oah, oh-oh, all the pretty things that we could be

The Boys Are Back

Intro: E, F#m, E, F#m, E

Verse:

   E                                F#m
Vindran els anys i, amb els anys, la calma
                                   E
que et pintarà als ulls una mirada suau.
                                  F#m
Et faran fer un pas i, després, un altre,
                                   E
seràs tota una experta a tirar endavant.
                                            F#m
Amb tant de temps hauràs trobat un lloc agradable,
                                     E
o ja estaràs un pèl mandrosa per buscar.
                                       F#m
Rebràs tracte de senyora, o de iaia estranya
                                       E
que té acollonits tots els nens del veïnat.


Bridge:

    Dbm            B                E
I seràs un sac de mals o seràs una roca.
        Dbm               B              A                B
I els moments de mirar enrere et faran gràcia i et faran mal.


Pre-Chorus:

      A                   E
I potser no seré el teu amic,
       A                      E       Ebm     Dbm
ni tindré res a veure amb si ets o no ets feliç.
       E                  Abm              A           F#m
Ja em veig de record mig trist que se't creua pel cap
           B
una mala tarda.
     A                 E
I potser dormiré abraçadet
       A                     E       Ebm      Dbm
a una dona a qui quasi no hauré explicat qui ets.
     E                    Abm            A     
Potser tindrem néts malparits que se'n fotin de mi
           F#m            B            E      
quan no m'enteri de les coses.


Chorus:

E                A         B                 E
Però, quan seré vell, seguiré cantant-te cançons, igual.
          A            B                    E
Caminaré lent i m'asseuré, a vegades, als bancs.
           Dbm          A                      E
Verset a verset, convocaré el teu cos llarg i blanc
            F#m                B                  E
i em podran veure somriure una mica per sota del nas.


Bridge 2:

      A              B               E
Que vinguin els anys! Aquí em té la calma!
        A                           B
Que em jugo amb la decadència de la carn
           A            B              E
que un raconet del menjador farà d'escenari
          A        B                  E
i que ningú sospitarà de qui estic parlant.


Chorus 2:
             
                  A         B                E   
I que, quan seré vell, seguiré cantant-te cançons, igual.
             A            B                    E
No sé si estaré per garantir-te una gran qualitat
                     Dbm             A                 E
però creuré en un verset i em distrauré intentant-lo allargar
             F#m                 B                E
i em podran veure somriure una mica per sota del nas,
              F#m               B                 E
i em podran veure somriure una mica per sota del nas.
