The Air That I Breathe HolliesThe Air That I Breathe
Hollies
Intro: | A | Dm | A | E |
|A | |C#7 | |
If I could make a wish, I think I'd pass
D |Dm |A | |
Cant think of anything I need
No cigarettes, no sleep, no light no sound
Nothing to eat, no books to read
C#m | |Dm |A |
Making love with you has left me peaceful, warn and tired
C#m | |Dm |A |
What more could I ask, there's nothing left to be desired
Peace came upon me and it leaves me weak
Sleep, silent angel, go to sleep
|A | |E |A |
Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe and to love you
|E |A |
all I need is the air that I breathe, yes to love you
|E
all I need is the air that I breathe,
|Em |D |A |E |Em |D |A |E |
ah ah ah ah
repeat from 'peace...'

ALWAYS LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE MONTY PYTHON
Am D G Em
Some things in life are bad, they can really make you mad
Am D G
Other things just make you swear and curse
Am D G Em
When you're chewing on life's gristle,don't grumble,give a whistle
A7 D7
And this'll help things turn out for the best ... and ....
G Em Am D7 G Em Am D7
Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the bright side of life
If life seems jolly rotten, there's something you've forgotten
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing
When you're feeling in the dumps, don't be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle, that's the thing ... and ...
Chorus
For life is quite absurd, and death's the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow
Forget about your sin, give the audience a grin
Enjoy it, it's your last chance anyhow so
Always look on the bright side of death
Just before you draw your terminal breath
Life's a piece of shit, when you look at it
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true
You'll see it's all a show, keep 'em laughing as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you ... and ...
G Em Am D7 G Em Am D7
Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the bright side of life
A F#m Bm E7 A F#m Bm E7
Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the bright side of life

AMERICA- Simon & Garfunkel
C C/B Am C/G F C C/B Am C/G F
Ooh ooh ooh a ooh a ooh, ooh ooh ooh a ooh a ooh
C C/B Am C/G F
Let us be lovers, we'll marry our fortunes together
C C/B Am Am7
I've got some real-estate here in my bag
Em7 A7 Em7 A7
So we bought a pack of cigarettes, and Mrs. Wagner pies
Em7 D C G C C/B Am Am7/6 F
And walked off to look for America
C C/B Am C/G F
Cathy I said as we boarded the Greyhound in Pittsburg
C C/B Am Am7
Michigan seems like a dream to me now
G
It took me four days to hitch-hike from Saginaw
Em7 D G D Cmaj7 C
And I've come to look for America
Bbmaj7 Bb C
Laughing on the bus, playing games with the faces
Bbmaj7 C C/B Am C/G
She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy
F Fmaj7 C C/B Am C/G Am6 Fmaj7
I said be careful his bowtie is really a camera
C C/B Am C/G F
Toss me a cigarette I think there's one in my raincoat
C C/B Am Am7
We smoked the last one an hour ago
Em7 A7 Em7 A7
So I looked at the scenery, she read her magazine
Em7 D C G C C/B Am C/G F
And the moon rose over an open field
C C/B Am C/G F
Cathy I'm lost, I said, though I knew she was sleeping
C C/B Am Am7
I'm empty and aching and I don't know why
G
Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike
D G D Cmaj7
They've all come to look for America
D G D Cmaj7
They've all come to look for America
D G D Cmaj7 C
They've all come to look for America
C C/B Am C/G Dm F G G7
Do do do do-da-do, do do do do-da-do (repeat and fade)
C/B: x 2 2 0 1 0 C/G: 3 3 2 0 1 0
Am7: x 0 2 0 1 0 Cmaj7: x 3 2 0 0 0
Em7: 0 2 2 0 3 0 Bbmaj7: 1 1 3 2 3 1
Fmaj7: x x 3 2 1 0 Am6: x 0 2 2 0 2
NOTE: At the end of each C C/B Am C/G F chord progression, there
is a small but important extra note. While fingering the F chord
(1 3 3 2 1 1), quickly hammer on and then pull off the sus note
(1 3 3 3 1 1). Do this twice each time. Listen to the record to
get a better idea of what I mean.

ARMS OF AN ANGEL SARAH McLAUGHLIN
Capo 1st
Intro:
C Cadd9
C Cadd9
Dm7 F
Spend all your time waiting for that second chance
C F G
For the break that would make it okay
Dm7 F
There's always some reason to feel not good enough
C F G
And it's hard at the end of the day
Dm7 F
I need some distraction, oh, a beautiful release
C F G
Memories seep from my veins
Dm7 F
Let me be empty, oh and weightless, and maybe
C F Gsus
I'll find some peace tonight
Chorus:
C C+9 C
In the arms of the angel,
Em
fly away from here
F
From this dark, cold hotel room,
C G
and the endlessness that you fear
C C+9 C
You are pulled from the wreckage
Em
Of your silent reverie
F
You're in the arms of the angel
C G C
May you find some comfort here
So tired of the straight life and everywhere you turn
There's vultures & thieves at your back
The storm keeps on twisting keep on building the lies
Which will make up for all that you lack
Don't make no difference, escaping one last time
It's easier to believe
In this sweet madness, all this glory & sadness
That brings me to my knees
Chorus
F
You're in the arms of the angel
C G C
May you find some comfort here

Now the party's over

I'm so tired

Avalon
When the samba takes you
Out of nowhere
And the background's fading
Out of focus
Yes the picture's changing
Every moment
And your destination
You don't know it
Avalon
When you bossanova
There's no holding
Would you have me dancing
Out of nowhere
Avalon...
