GOT TO GIVE IT UP 
 MARVIN GAYE


A
                    A
I used to go out to parties

And stand around

'Cause I was too nervous

To really get down
       D   E           A            B
And my body yearned to be free
                   D                E
So I got up on the floor and found
                  A                 B
Somebody to choose me
        A
No more standin' along the side walls

Now I've got myself together, baby

And I'm havin' a ball
            D                       E
Long as you prove it
                 A                  B
There's always a chance
         D                          E
Somebody watches
                 A                  B
I'm gonna make romance
          A
With your body, ooo baby, you dance all night

Get down and prove it, feel all right...


        A
Keep on dancin'

Got to give it up

Remember the day
          E
I set you free
                     G               A
I told you you could always count on me 
              Bm          E 
From that day on I made a vow

Ain't No Mountain High

YOU'RE ALL I NEED TO GET BY

Chorus 1:

        A#      C7          D#m   A#
(You're all, I need to get by).

        A#
(You're all,
         Like the sweet morning dew,
   C7
(I need,
    I took one look at you,
       D#m
To get by...)
        And it was plain to see,
A#
 You were my destiny.

        A#
(You're all,
         With my arms open wide,
   C7
(I need,
    I threw away my pride,
       D#m
To get by...)
        I'll sacrifice for you,
A#
 Dedicate my life for you.

Verse 1:

A#                                          D#
 I will go where you lead, always there in time of need.
C7                       D#m
 And when I lose my will, you'll be there to push me up the hill.

        A#              D#
There's no, no looking back for us,
A#                  C7              D#m
 We got love sure 'nough, that's e-nough.
       A#                 D#m          A#
You're all, you're all I need to get by.

Chorus 2:

        A#      C7          D#m  A#
(You're all, I need to get by).

        A#
(You're all,
         Like an eagle protects his nest,
   C7
(I need,
    For you, I'll do my best.
       D#m
To get by...)
        Stand by you like a tree,
    A#
And dare anybody to try and move me.

        A#
(You're all,
         Darling in you I found,
   C7
(I need,
    Strength where I was torn down.
       D#m
To get by...)
        Don't know what's in store,
    A#
But together we can open any door.

Verse 2:

A#                                            D#
 Just to do what's good for you, and inspire you a little higher.
  A#                        C7                        D#m
I know you can make a man, out of a soul that didn't have a goal.

     A#              D#m
'Cos we, we got the right foundation,
A#                     C7    D#m             A#
 And with love and de-termi-nation, you're all, you're all I:

D#                  D#m
 Won't stop honey, do a little more y'all,
A#                   D#             D#m
 All, all the joys, under the sun; you are the one.

Bridge 1:

       A#                 D#m
You're all, you're all I need...
       A#                 D#m
You're all, you're all I need...
       A#                 D#m          A#
You're all, you're all I need to get by.

You're All I Need To Get By

I HEARD IT THROUGH THE GRAPEVINE

Intro:

D#m  D#sus4, D#m  D#sus4  D#m (x5)

Verse 1:

       D#m                   D#sus4 D#m
Ooh, I bet you're wonderin' how I knew,
           A#                G#
'Bout your plans to make me blue.
                D#m      D#sus4   D#m
With some other guy you knew be-fore,
                  A#                G#
Between two of us guys, you know I loved you more.

Bridge 1:

G#                  Cm            G#
 It took me by sur-prise, I must say,
       D#m               G#
When I found out yester-day. Don't you know that:

Chorus 1:

  D#m                   D#sus4 D#m
I heard it through the grape-vine;
         A#                         G#
Not much longer, would you be mine.
      D#m                   D#sus4 D#m
Oh, I heard it through the grape-vine;
        A#                     G#                   D#m
Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind, honey, honey, yeah.

Break:

   D#m
(I heard it through the grapevine,
                          D#sus4 D#m       D#sus4  D#m, D#sus4, D#m
Not much longer would you be    my baby).

Verse 2:

         D#m            D#sus4    D#m
I know a man ain't sup-posed to cry,
          A#                      G#
But these tears, I can't hold in-side.
       D#m                D#sus4     D#m
Losing you, would end my life, you see,
         A#                 G#
'Cos you mean that much to me.

Bridge 2:

G#               Cm           G#
 You could have told me your-self,
         D#m            G#
That you loved someone else.

Chorus 2:

           D#m                   D#sus4 D#m
Instead, I heard it through the grape-vine;
         G#
Not much longer would you be mine.
      D#m                   D#sus4 D#m
Oh, I heard it through the grape-vine;
        A#                     G#                   D#m
Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind, honey, honey, yeah.

Break:

   D#m
(I heard it through the grapevine,
                          D#sus4 D#m       D#sus4  D#m, D#sus4, D#m
Not much longer would you be    my baby).

Interlude:

D#m  D#sus4, D#m  D#sus4  D#m (x5)

Verse 3:

D#m
 People say; believe half of what you see,
         A#                G#
Son, and none of what you hear.
            D#m
But I can't help, but be con-fused,
        A#                     G#
If it's true, please tell me, dear.

Bridge 3:

       Cm             G#
Do you plan to let me go,
              D#m               G# 
For the other guy you loved be-fore?

Chorus 3:

  D#m                   D#sus4 D#m
I heard it through the grape-vine;
         A#                         G#
Not much longer, would you be mine.
      D#m                   D#sus4 D#m
Oh, I heard it through the grape-vine;
        A#                     G#                   D#m
Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind, honey, honey, yeah.

Break:

   D#m
(I heard it through the grapevine,
                          D#sus4 D#m       D#sus4  D#m, D#sus4, D#m
Not much longer would you be    my baby).

	Oil wasted on the ocean and upon
	our seas fish full of mercury,

Verse 3:
	Oh, mercy, mercy me.
	Ah, things ain't what they used to be, no, no, no.
	Radiation underground and in the sky;
	animals and birds who live near by are dying.

Verse 4:
	Oh, mercy, mercy me.
	Ah, things ain't what they used to be.
	What about this over crowded land?
	How much more abuse from man can she stand?

Let's Get It On

F#m B F#m  B  E



  E               E6            

I know I stand in line until you

E                   E6             F#m                     B  F#m  B

think you have the time to spend an evening with me

    F#m          B               F#m                B

And if we go someplace to dance I know that there's a chance

             E                E6  E  E6

you won't be leaving with me

    E7             E9         E7            E9

And afterwards we drop into a quiet little place

           A           C

And have a drink or two



    F#m           B              F#m             B   

And then I go and spoil it all by saying something stupid 

       E        E6  E  E6

like I love you



      E7             E9                      E7                    E9

I can see it in your eyes that you despise the same old lines 

              A        

you heard the night before

    F#                 C#m7            F#

And though it's just a line to you for me it's true

                    B

and never seemed so right before

  E             E6              E              E6

I practice everyday to find some clever lines to say 

            F#m               B  F#m  B

to make the meaning come true

    F#m               B             F#m         B

But then I think I'll wait until the evening gets late

        E              E6  E  E6

And I'm alone with you

    E7                  E9              E                 E9

The time is right your perfume fills my head the stars get red 

           A             C

and on the nights so blue


    F#m           B              F#m             B

And then I go and spoil it all by saying something stupid

       E        E6  E  E6

like I love you

Stubborn Kind Of Fellow

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 

      E            B    G#m
La la la la la la la la Yeah, 
     F#                      E       B   F#

Chorus:  Down by the ri-ver,  I shot my ba-by

 Em        A
 Ooh, Ooh, shot her dead


Verse 2:You take my hand I'll take your hand, together we may get away,

        This must madness is too much sorrow, its impossible to make it

        today... She could drag me, over the rainbow, send me away


(Chorus)

           A
from all we shared together.

I picked apart every word that you said
  Bm                              A
I dissected each sentence but kept coming up empty
D                         A
the way you are leaves me counting the days
        Bm                            A
till the next time this distance will be a memory

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.
