Good Times!

The Monkees were a four-man musical band created to be the stars of an American television series of the same name, which ran on NBC from 1966 to 1968. The members were: Micky Dolenz (drums, vocals), Michael Nesmith (guitar, vocals), David Jones (percussion, vocals) and Peter Tork (bass, keyboards, vocals). The Monkees were formed in 1965 in Los Angeles, California and disbanded in 1970. At their peak they were competing with The Beatles for the top spot on album charts.

the timing for the intro riff will be easier if youve got the track to listen to,as the tab looks a bit flat without hearing it..

Oh, I could hide neath the wings
         Bm             C
Of the bluebird as she sings
     G            Em              A    D
The six-o'clock alarm would never end
        G           Am 
But it rings and I rise

Wipe the sleep out of my eyes
     G      Em      A    D        G
My shaving razor's cold, and it stings.

  C        D     Bm
Cheer up sleepy Jean
C         D      Em
Oh, what can it mean

To a daydream believer
       G           A    D

You once thought of me
       Bm                C
As a white night on his steed
	G        Em          A   D
Now you know how happy I can be
         G                   Am
And our good time starts and ends
         Bm             C
Without dollar one to spend
     G        Em   A     D      G
But how much baby do we really need

  C        D     Bm
Cheer up sleepy Jean
C         D      Em
Oh, what can it mean
 C    G          C
To a daydream believer
       G           A    D
And a homecoming queen

A Little Bit Me A Little Bit You

G                           D              
There's a certain something in the way
    G         D       Em
You looked at me and said you'd stay
     C                D             G
That let me know that I was out of line


G                      D              
But I didn't know what else to do
     G     D       Em
And like a fool I tested you
   C                   D                 G
By demanding things of you which weren't mine



    C      D  G     D       Em
And now I feel like such a fool
    C          D             G
For making you crawl back to me
B7
But you did it with such love
G
That you're standing far above
Am
Me and all I did to you
    D7
I'm sorry now, what can I do?



  G               D              
I know that never in the world
      G      D        Em
Could I have found me such a girl
      C                D            G
Who's there to pick me up before I fall


G                 D   
And if in the end we should go
G        D        Em
Both our separate ways I know
    C                   D                G
The lesson I've learned here is worth it all



C        D    G    D        Em
And now I feel like such a fool
    C           D            G
For making you crawl back to me
B7
But you did it with such love

We're driving south through Monterey

As the sun is slowly sinking
                 G        Gsus4  G
Into a distant oceanway

And I don't know if I've

Do you see your long lost father

Does he hold you with the hands
    G                     Gsus4 G
You remember as a child


         D
But know everything lost
     C            G
will be recovered
         D
When you drift into the arms
       C            G 
of the undiscovered
      Em 
And I don't know if I've

Me And Magdalena

F                               C          F
Just a loudmouth Yankee I went down to Mexico.
F                                  C              F
I didn't have much time to spend, about a week or so.
         Bb            Eb
There I lightly took advantage 
       Bb               Eb 
Of a  girl who loved me so.
Bb 
But I found myself a-thinkin' when 
    Eb        Dm      F
The time had come to go...

#CHORUS:
Bb                       Cm
What am I doin' hangin' round?
Dm                            Gm
I should be on that train and gone.
Dbdim                        Bb      D    Gm
I should be ridin' on that train to San Antone,
Eb         F             Bb
What am I doin' hangin' round?

F                               C            F
She took me to the garden just for a little walk.
F                                    C                F
I didn't know much Spanish and there was no time for talk.

         Bb                Eb
Then she told me that she loved me 
         Bb                Eb
Not with words but with a kiss.
     Bb 
And like a fool I kept on thinkin' of 
   Eb      Dm        F
A train I could not miss... 

#Chorus

F                                   C               F 
Well it's been a year or so, and I want to go back again.
F                                 C                  F
And if I get the money, well I'll ride the same old train.
      Bb                 Eb
But I guess your chances come but once 
    Bb                Eb
And boy I sure missed mine.

   Bb
And still I can't stop thinkin' when 

    Eb      Dm       F
I hear some whistle cryin'....

           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:

Go down to the rides on East Parade,

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

I wheel my bike off the train,

Look for you on Marley Lane

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

A  E  D A

A                                        E
when there's no place you feel at home

and you think you'd be better off alone

when you think there's no reason to try

and you hate yourself and wanna die

A                                      E
when you're filled with anxiety
             D                   A
and everyone's your enemy
A                                        E
when you wish you were someone else

and you wanna go out and kill yourself

because you think you can't do your best
A                                         E
when you write yourself a stupid song

to remind yourself that you forgot

Overreacting

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.

time signature goes 3/4 for 2 bars then 2/4 for 1 bar and then
repeats.
