The Best: Loggins & Messina Sittin' In Again

Sittin' In

Loggins and Messina are an American rock music duo consisting of Kenny Loggins and Jim Messina. They are noted for popularizing the subgenre of Yacht rock, which soon became prominent in the 1970s.  In late 1970 Jim Messina, formerly of Poco and Buffalo Springfield, was working as an independent contract record producer for Columbia Records. It was then that he met a little known studio artist who had written a few songs of his own, Kenny Loggins. Loggins was working as contract songwriter for The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. 

G    Dm    C    Am7    D7

G                                C
If you've been thinkin' you were all that you've got
      D                   G     D7
then don't feel alone anymore.
        G                        C
'Cause when we're together then you've got a lot
       D7                             G       G7
'cause I am the river and you are the shore.


CHORUS
             C      D   G            D    Csus2  G
And it goes on and on, watching the river run
C            C/B          Am7               D
further and further from things that we've done,
G                   G7
leaving them one by one.
             C      D   G            Dm    E7
And we have just begun watching the river run,
Am7                C           D                 G     
listening and learning and yearning to run river run.


Dm    C    Am7    D7
G                          C                D                        G  D7  
Winding and swirling and dancing along, we passed by the old willow tree
       G                   C
where lovers caress as we sing them our song, 
  D7                                 G   G7
rejoicing together when we greet the sea

REPEAT CHORUS TWICE then end with

Dm    C    Am7    D    G

dm7                            dm7-5                   cmaj9
Knowing what's wrong or what's right just don't matter

when you're in warmer nights.

I'll ride the waves till a sunny day

Travelin Blues

A                                     Em
I'm thinking about when I was a sailor 
A                    D    E
Spent my time on the open seas 
A                                     Em
When we'd stay off the coast of Jamaica 
D-D-D-A
                   I'd secretly steal ashore 
D-D-D-A
                  The natives were waiting for 
D-D-D-A
                   The boy with the lazy soul 
D-D-D-A                                      E
                     To sing with the sailor 
(Chorus) 
A               D
Vahevala, homeless sailor 
Vahevala, homeward sail away 
Vahevala, homeless sailor 
Vahevala, homeward sail away 
Em                              A
Every evening I'd be gone 
Em                              A                  E
Back on board by break of dawn 

I'm thinking about the nights in Jamaica 
Pretty girls dancin' here and there 
Stole a keg and now I'm drunk as a sailor 
The captain he don't know 
Where Billy he done go 
But I'm singing with native girls 
The songs of a sailor 

(Chorus) 

Every night in Jamaica I'd sing with the lady 
And drink with the men till the morning appear 
Healthy sunshine is fresh on my face 
As the songs of the night puts the ring in my ear

(Chorus)

Vahevala

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

But darling just kiss me slow, your heart is all I own
             C                  D
And in your eyes you’re holding mine

Baby, I’m dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
C                G     D                Em

When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath

But you heard it, darling you look perfect tonight

                C                                        D
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

Perfect

Sorry I couldn't figure out the chords in the original song, nor in the Kris Allen version, but here's what I wrote

Intro: Dm, Bb, Dm, C
 
Dm
In the night I hear 'em talk,

Bb
The coldest story ever told,

Dm
Somewhere far along this road

C
He lost his soul
To a woman so heartless...
How could you be so heartless... oh
How could you be so heartless?

Dm, Bb, Dm, C (it continues like this for the rest of the song, the rest is just the lyrics)

How could you be so,
Cold as the winter wind when it breeze yo
Just remember that you talking to me yo
You need to watch the way you talking to me you know
I mean after all the things that we been through
I mean after all the things we got into
And yo I know of some things that you ain't told me
And yo I did some things but that's the old me
And now you wanna get me back
And you gon' show me
So you walk around like you don't know me
You got a new friend
Well I got homies
But in the end it's still so lonely

In the night I hear 'em talk,
The coldest story ever told,
Somewhere far along this road
He lost his soul
To a woman so heartless...
How could you be so heartless... oh
How could you be so heartless?


How could you be so Dr. Evil
You're bringing out a side of me that I don't know
I decided we weren't gonna speak so why we up 3 a.m. on the phone
Why does she be so mad at me for, homie I don't know she's hot and cold
I won't stop, won't mess my groove up cause I already know how this thing goes,
You run and tell your friends that you're leavin' me
They say that they don't see what you see in me
You wait a couple months then you gon' see,
You'll never find nobody better than me

In the night I hear 'em talk,
The coldest story ever told,
Somewhere far along this road
He lost his soul
To a woman so heartless...
How could you be so heartless... oh
How could you be so heartless?


Talkin', talkin', talkin', talk,
Baby lets just knock it off
They don't know what we been through
They don't know 'bout me and you
So I got something new to see
And you just gon' keep hatin' me
And we just gon' be enemies
I know you can't believe
I could just leave it wrong
and you can't make it right
Im gon' take off tonight
Into the night...

In the night I hear 'em talk,
The coldest story ever told,
Somewhere far along this road
He lost his soul
To a woman so heartless...
How could you be so heartless... oh
How could you be so heartless?

Can't Help Falling In Love With You

[Intro]
C          Em                  Am              F
Feels like,  I'm standing in a timeless dream
  C         Em               Am    F
A light mist   of pale amber rose
C          Em              Am            F
Feels like,  I'm lost in a deep cloud of heavenly scent
Am       G            F
Touching,  discovering you


[Verse 1]
C           Em                  Am              F
Those days,  of warm rains come rushing back to me
         C        Em              Am   F
Miles of windless,   summer night air
       C       Em             Am              F
Secret moments,   shot in the heat of the afternoon
           C        Em             Am     F
Out of the stillness,   soft spoken words


[Chorus]
C
I love you always forever
F
Near and far, closer together
C
Everywhere, I will be with you
F
Everything, I will do for you

C
I love you always forever
F
Near and far, closer together
C
Everywhere, I will be with you
F
Everything, I will do for you


[Verse 2]
C         Em                       Am             F
You've got,  the most unbelievable blue eyes I've ever seen
C         Em                   Am    F
You've got, me almost melting away
      C        Em                      Am           F
As we lay there,   under a blue sky of pure white stars
          C        Em             Am    F
It's like sweetness,  and magical time


[Chorus]
C
I love you always forever
F
Near and far, closer together
C
Everywhere, I will be with you
F
Everything, I will do for you

I love you always forever
F
Near and far, closer together

                            Dm
But the way that i feel about you
     E7/G# 
Is beyond words

  Am               Am/G
O give me the words
                      F                  Dm
Give me the words
                    E7/G#
That tell me nothing
Am               Am/G
O give me the words
                      F                  Dm
Give me the words
                   E7/G#
That tell me everything

In a manner of speaking
Semantics won't do
In this life that we live we live we only make do
And the way that we feel
Might have to be sacrified
So in a manner of speaking
I just want to say
That just like you I should find a way
To tell you everything
By saying nothing.

O give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me nothing
O give me the words...
Give me the words
Give me the words

best with Low G
