Sound Of Silence - Simon & Garfunkel

Emi                   D

1. Hello darkness my old friend

                                Emi

   I've come to talk with you again

                        C       G

   because a vision softly creeping

                              C   G

   left it seeds while I was sleeping

            C                             G

   and the vision that was planted in my brain

            Emi     G        D        Emi

   still remains within the sound of silence.

 

   Emi                           D

2. In restless dreams I walked alone

                             Emi

   narrow streets of cobble-stone

                        C      G

   neath the halo of a street lamp

                              C        G

   I turned my collar to the cold and damp

            C                         G

   when my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light

                   Emi       G           D       Emi

   that spilt the night and touched the sound of silence.

 

   Emi                       D

3. And in the naked light I saw

                             Emi

   ten thousand people maybe more

                      C        G

   people talking without speaking

                      C         G

   people hearing without listening

                   C                        G

   people writing songs that voices never share

              Emi   G             D       Emi

   and no one dare   disturb the sound of silence.

 

    Emi                         D

4. "Fools!" said I "you do not know

                          Emi

   silence like a cancer grows

                         C          G

   hear my words that I might teach you

                        C          G

   take my arms that I might reach you."

            C                          G    Em

   But my words like silent raindrops fell

         G            D       Emi

   and echoed in the walls of silence.

 

    Emi                       D

5. And the people bowed and prayed

                        Emi

   to the neon god they made

                             C   G

   and the sign flashed out its warning

                         C      G

   in the words that it was forming

                            C                                               G

   and the sign said "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls

                 Emi        G                D       Emi

   and tenament halls" and whisper'd in the sound of silence.

Behind Blue Eyes - The Who

Em                     G               D

No one knows what it's like, to be the bad man,

          C          A

To be the sad man, behind blue eyes

Em                     G          D

No one knows what it's like to be hated,

      C                 A

To be fated, to telling only lies

 

         C  D                   G

  But my dreams, they aren't as empty,

        C          D        E

  As my conscience seems to be

         Bm           C

  I have hours, only lonely

             D                      A

  My love is vengeance that's never free

 

Em                     G                   D

No one knows what it's like to feel these feelings

       C                A

Like I do, and I blame you

Em                    G            D

No one bites back as hard on their anger

No one knows what it's like, to be the bad man

           C          A

To be the sad man, behind blue eyes

  CHORUS 

Hotel California - Eagles

[Am]On a dark desert highway, [E]cool wind in my hair

[G]Warm smell of colitas, [D]rising through the air

[F]Up ahead in the distance, I [C]saw a shimering light

[Dm]My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim, [E]I had to stop for the night

 

[Am]There she stood in the doorway, [E]I heard the mission bell

[G]And I was thinking to myself: this could be [D]heaven or this could be hell 

[F]Then she lit up a candle and she [C]showed me the way

[Dm]There were voices down the corridor; [E]I thought I heard them say:

 

  "[F]Welcome to the Hotel Cali[C]fornia

  Such a [E]lovely place (such a lovely place), such a [Am]lovely face

  [F]Plenty of room at the Hotel Cali[C]fornia,

  Any [Dm]time of year (any time of year), you can [E]find it here"

 

[Am]Her mind is Tiffany twisted, [E]she got the Mercedes Benz

[G]She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, [D]that she calls friends

[F]How they dance in the courtyard, [C]sweet summer sweat,

[Dm]Some dance to remember, [E]some dance to forget

 

[Am]So I called up the captain, "[E]Please bring me my wine", He said

[G]"We haven't had that spirit here since [D]nineteen sixtynine"

[F]And still those voices are calling from [C]far away

[Dm]Wake you up in the middle of the night, [E]just to hear them say:

 

  "[F]Welcome to the Hotel Cali[C]fornia

  [E]Such a lovely place (such a lovely place), such a [Am]lovely face

  They [F]livin' it up at the Hotel Cali[C]fornia

  What a [Dm]nice surprise (what a nice surprise), bring your [E]alibis"

 

[Am]Mirrors on the ceiling, [E]the pink champagne on ice, and she said

"[G]We are all just prisoners here, [D]of our own device"

[F]And in the master's chambers, [C]they gathered for the feast

[Dm]They stab it with their steely knives but they [E]just can't kill the beast

 

[Am]Last thing I remember, I was [E]running for the door

[G]I had to find the passage back to the [D]place I was before

"[F]Relax," said the night man, "We are [C]programmed to receive

[Dm]You can check out any time you like, but [E]you can never leave"

 

  "[F]Welcome to the Hotel Cali[C]fornia

  [E]Such a lovely place (such a lovely place), such a [Am]lovely face

  They [F]livin' it up at the Hotel Cali[C]fornia

  What a [Dm]nice surprise (what a nice surprise), bring your [E]alibis"

Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd

intro:  Em  G  Em  G  Em7  A  Em7  A  G

 

[C]So, so you think you can [D]tell,

heaven from [Am]hell, blue skies from [G]pain.

Can you tell a green [D]field, from a cold steel [C]rail?

A smile from a [Am]veil, do you think you can [G]tell?

 

And, did they get to the [C]trade, your heroes for [D]ghosts,

hot ashes for [Am]trees, hot air for a [G]cool breeze.

Cold comfort for [D]change, did you ex[C]change,

a walk on part in the [Am]war, for lead role in a [G]cage.

 

repeat intro

 

How I [C]wish, how I wish you were [D]here,

we're just [Am]two losts souls swimming in a fish bowl [G]year after year,

[D]running over the same old ground, [C]what have we found?

The same old [Am]years, wish you were [G]here.
