A Most Peculiar Man Tom: D
D Em
He was a most peculiar man.
A7
That's what Missus Riordon said, and she should know;
D G
She lived upstairs from him.
A7 D
She said he was a most peculiar man.
D Em
He was a most peculiar man.
A7
He lived all alone within a house, within a room, within himself.
D
A most peculiar man.
D
He had no friends, he seldom spoke,
Em
And no one in turn ever spoke to him,
A7
'Cause he wasn't friendly and he didn't care,
D
And he wasn't like them.
G A7 D
Oh, no! He was a most peculiar man.
D
He died last Saturday,
Em
He turned on the gas and he went to sleep,
With the windows closed so he'd never wake up
To his silent world and his tiny room,
A7
And Missus Riordon says he has a brother somewhere
D
Who should be notified soon.
G A7 D Bm
And all the people said, "What a shame that he's dead,
G A7 D
But wasn't he a most peculiar man?"
Richard Cory Tom: Am Intro: A7
Am G
They say that Richard Cory owns one half of this whole town
Am E7
With political connections to spread his wealth around
D5
Born into society a banker's only child
Am G C E7
He had everything a man could want; power, grace and style
C Am
But I -- work in his factory
D5
And i curse the life I'm living,
And I curse my poverty
C Am
And i wish that I could be, oh I wish that I could be
D5 D7 Am
Oh I wish that i could be - Richard Cory
Am G
The papers print his picture almost everywhere he goes
Am E7
Richard Cory at the opera, Richard Cory at a show
D5
And the rumours of his parties and the orgies on his yacht
Am G C E7
Oh, he surely must be happy with everything he's got
C Am
But I -- work in his factory
D5
And I curse the life I'm living,
And I curse my poverty
C Am
And i wish that I could be, oh I wish that I could be
D5 D7 Am
Oh I wish that i could be - Richard Cory
Am G
He freely gave to charities, he had the common touch
Am E7
And they were grateful for his patronage, and they thanked him very much
D5
So my mind was filled with wonder when the evening headlines read
Am G C Am
Richard Cory went home last night and put a bullet through his head
C Am
But I -- work in his factory
D5
And i curse the life I'm living,
And I curse my poverty
C Am
And i wish that I could be, oh I wish that I could be
D5 E7 Am
Oh I wish that i could be - Richard Cory
I Am A Rock Tom: G Intro: G G
[Verse]
G C G
A winter's day, in a deep and dark December;
Am D C G
I am alone,
Am7 Bm7 Am7 Bm7
Gazing from my window to the streets below
Am C D
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow.
[Chorus] C G C D G - Em I am a rock, I am an i___sland.
[Verse]
G C G
I've built walls, a fortress deep and mighty,
Am D C G
That none may penetrate.
Am7 Bm7 Am7 Bm7
I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain.
Am C D
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain.
[Repeat Chorus]
[Verse]
G C G
Don't talk of love, but I've heard the words before;
Am D C G
It's sleeping in my memory.
Am7 Bm7 Am7 Bm7
I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died.
Am C D
If I never loved I never would have cried.
[Repeat Chorus]
[Verse]
G C G
I have my books and my poetry to protect me;
Am D C G
I am shielded in my armor,
Am7 Bm7 Am7 Bm7
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb.
Am C D
I touch no one and no one touches me.
[Repeat Chorus]
[Outro]
Am D G
And a rock feels no pain;
Am D G
And an island never cries.
American Tune Tom: C
Capo 2nd fret
C F C G7 C G E7 Am E7 Am
Many's the time I've been mistaken and many times confused
C F C G7 C G C B7 Am E7 Am
Yes and I've often felt forsaken and certainly misused
C9 F G F C F C G F Am A7
Aw, but I'm alright, I'm alright, I'm just weary to my bones
D7 G7 C G7 D G
Still you don't expect to be bright and bon vivant
C F C G E7 Am Dm7 C G13 C
So far away from home, so far away from home
C F C G7 C G E7
And I don't know a soul who's not been battered
Am E7 Am
I don't have a friend that's feels at ease
C F C G7 C G C B7 Am E7 Am
I don't know a dream that's not been shattered or driven to it's knees
C9 F G F C F C G F Am A7
Aw, but it's alright, it's alright for we lived so well so long
D7 G7 C G7 D G
Still when I think of the road we're travelin' on
C F C G E7 Am Dm7 C G13 C
I wonder what's gone wrong, I can't help but wonder what's gone wrong
C
And I dreamed I was dying...
G G7 Am Dm7
I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly
G7 F C G
And looking back down on me smiled reassuringly
G7 C
And I dreamed I was flying....
G G7 Am Dm7
And high up above my eyes could clearly see
G7 C G
The Statue of Liberty - sailing away to sea
G7 C
And I dreamed I was flying....
C F C G C G
For we come on the ship they call Mayflower
E7 Am E7 Am
We come on the ship that sailed the moon
C F C G C G C B7 Am E7 Am
We come in the ages most uncertain hours and sing an American Tune
C9 F G F C F C G E7 Am A7
Aw, but it's alright, it's alright you can't be forever blessed
D7 G C G7 D G
Still tomorrow's gonna be another working day
C F C G E7 Am Dm7 C G13 G7 C
And I'm trying to get some rest, that's all I'm trying to get some rest
Sound Of Silence Tom: Em
Em D
Hello darkness, my old friend,
Em
I've come to talk with you again,
C G
Because a vision soft creeping,
Em C G
Left it's seeds while I was sleeping,
C C/G G
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Em
Still remains
D Em
Within the sound of silence.
Em D
In restless dreams I walked alone
Em
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
Em C G
'Neath the halo of a street lamp,
Em C G
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
C
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon
G
light
Em
That split the night
D Em
And touched the sound of silence.
Em D
And in the naked light I saw
Em
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
Em C G
People talking without speaking,
Em C G
People hearing without listening,
C G
People writing songs that voices never share
Em
And no one dare
D Em
Disturb the sound of silence.
Em D
Fools said i, you do not know
Em
Silence like a cancer grows.
Em C G
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Em C G
Take my arms that I might reach you.
C G
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
Em
And echoed
D Em
In the wells of silence
Em D
And the people bowed and prayed
Em
To the neon God they made.
Em C G
And the sign flashed out it's warning,
Em C G
In the words that it was forming.
Em C
And the sign said, the words of the prophets
C G
Are written on the subway walls
Em
And tenement halls.
D Em
And whispered in the sounds of silence.
Red Rubber Ball Tom: C
C |Em |F |C I should have known you'd bid me farewell.
|C |Em There's a lesson to be learned from this
|Am |G7 | | and I learned it very well
F |G Now I know you're not
|C |Am the only starfish in the sea.
|Dm |Em If I never hear your name again
|F |G it's all the same to me.
|Am | | And I think it's gonna be all right.
Dm | Yeah, the worst is over,
|G | |F |C The morning sun is shining like a Red Rubber Ball.
C |Em |F |C You never cared for secrets I'd confide.
|C |Em | For you I'm just an ornament,
Am |G7 | | Something for your pride.
F |G | Always running, never caring,
C |Am | That's the life you live.
Dm |Em Stolen minutes of your time
|F |G7 were all you had to give.
|Am | | And I think it's gonna be all right.
Dm | Yeah, the worst is over,
|G | |F |C The morning sun is shining like a Red Rubber Ball.
C |Em |F |C The story's in the past with nothing to recall.
|C |Em | I've got my life to live and I
Am |G7 | don't need you at all.
|F |G | The roller coaster ride we took is
C |Am nearly at an end.
|Dm |Em I bought my ticket with my tears,
|F |G that's all I'm gonna spend.
|Am | | And I think it's gonna be all right.
Dm | Yeah, the worst is over,
|G | |F |C Now the morning sun is shining like a Red Rubber Ball.
Repeat Chorus:

VERSE 1:
A G
I can hear the soft breathing of the girl that I love,
Am E
As she lies here beside me asleep with the night.
A G
Her hair in a fine mist floats on my pillow,
Am D/F# E7
Reflecting the glow of the winter moonlight.
CHORUS:

But I've got to creep down the alleyway,

Fly down the highway,

VERSE 2: Oh baby, you don't know what I've done, I've committed a crime, I've broken the law. While you were here sleeping and just dreaming of me, I held up and robbed a liquor store.
CHORUS
VERSE 3: Oh my life seems unreal, my crime an illusion, A scene badly written in which I must play. And though it puts me uptight to leave you, I know it's not right to leave you, When morning is just a few hours away.

The dangling conversation Tom: C
C B D
It's a still life water color
C B D
Of a now late afternoon
C B Am
As the sun shines through the curtain lace
G E F#
And shadows wash the room
Em
And we sit and drink our coffee
F E
Cast in our indifference, like shells upon the shore
D
You can hear the ocean roar
C B D G D C
In the dangling conversation, and the superficial sighs
G Em F#
The borders of our lives
C B D
And you read your Emily Dickenson
C B D
And I my Robert Frost
C B Am
And we note our place with bookmarkers
G E F#
That measure what we've lost
Em
Like a poem porely written
F E
We are verses out of rhythm, Couplets out of rhyme
D
In syncopated time
C B D G D C
And the dangling conversation, And the superficial sighs
G Em F#
Are the borders of our lives
C B D
Yes we speak of things that matter
C B D
With words that must be said
C B Am
Can analysis be worthwhile
G
Is the theatre really dead
Em
And how the room is softly faded
F E
And I only kiss your shadow, I cannot feel your hand
D
You're a stranger now unto me
C B D G D C
Lost in the dangling conversation, And the superficial sighs
G Em F#
In the borders of our lives
A Heart in New York Tom: G

Wednesday Morning, 3.am Tom: C
C Am F Em
I can hear the soft breathing of the girl that I love,
C Dm G
As she lies here beside me asleep with the night
C Am F Em
And her hair in a fine mist floats on my pillow
C Dm F G C
Reflecting the glow of the winter moonlight
C Am F Em
She is soft she is warm but my heart remains heavy,
C Dm G
As I watch as her breasts gently rise, gently fall.
C Am F Em
For I know with the first light of dawn I'll be leaving,
C Dm F G C
And tonight will be all I have left to recall.
C Am F Em
Oh what have I done, why have I done it,
C Dm G
I've committed a crime, broken the law.
C Am F Em
For twenty five dollars and pieces of silver,
C Dm F G C
I held up and robbed a hard liquor store.
C Am F Em
My life seems unreal, my crime an illusion,
C Dm G
A scene badly written in which I must play.
C Am F Em
And I know as I gaze at my young love beside me,
C Dm F G C
The morning is just a few hours away.
Song For The Asking Tom: G

G G C Em Am7 B B7 This is my tune for the taking. Take it, don't turn away. I've been C G C D7 G waiting all my life.
Em Bm B Dmin Am Thinking it over, I've been sad. Thinking it over, I'd be more than D7 G G7 C Em Am7 B B7 glad to change my ways for the asking. Ask me and I will play all the C G C G D7 G love that I hold inside.
America Tom: C

I've gone to look for America
Cmaj7 D
Laughing on the bus, playing games with the faces
Cmaj7 D
She said the man in the gaberdine suit was a spy

I said be careful his bowtie is really a camera
C B Am G F
Toss me a cigarette I think there's one in my raincoat

We smoked the last one an hour ago

So I looked at the scenery, and she read her magazine
G D G A B CB Am
An the moon rose over an open field
C B Am G F
Cathy I'm lost, I said, though I knew she was sleeping
C B Am
I'm empty and aching and I don't know why

Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike

Old Friends Tom: Fmaj7 Intro: Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Cmaj7
Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Famj7 Cmaj7 Dm7 G7 C Am Old Friends. Old Friends. Sat on their park bench like bookends. Dm7 G Am A newspaper blown through the grass falls on the round toes of the Cmaj F C6 high shoes of the Old Friends.
Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Dm7 G7 Fmaj7 Em7 Dm7
Old Friends. Winter companions the old men. Lost in their
G7 C Am Dm7 G7 Em7
overcoats waiting for the sunset. The sounds of the city, sifting
Am G F C6
through trees, settle like dust on the shoulder of the Old Friends.
Dm7 G7 Cmaj7 F Fm C
Can you imagine us years from today, sharing a park bench quietly?
Dm7 Am
How terribly strange to be seventy.
Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Dm7 G7 Fmaj7 Em7 Dm7 G7 Old Friends. Memory brushes the same years. Silently sharing the C6 Am same fears.

Sounds Of Silence
Tom: C
C
Hello darkness my old friend,
F
I've come to talk with you again
Bb Csus
Because a vision softly creeping
Bb Csus
Left it's seeds while I was sleeping
Bb Csus
And the vision that was planted in my brain
F C F
Still remains----- within the sounds of silence
C
In restless dreams I walked alone,
F
Narrow streets of cobblestone
Bb Csus
'neath the halo of a streetlamp
Bb Csus
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
Bb Csus
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
F C F
Split the night... and touched the sound of silence
C
And in the naked light I saw
F
Ten thousand people maybe more
Bb Csus
People talking without speaking
Bb Csus
People hearing without listening
Bb Csus
Peoplewriting songs that voices never share
F C F
Noone dare, disturb the sound of silence
C
Fools said I you do not know,
F
Silence like a cancer grows,
Bb Csus
Hear my words that I might teach you
Bb Csus
Take my arms that I might reach you
Bb Csus
But my words, like silent raindrops fell...
F C F
And echoed the will of silence
C
And the people bowed and prayed,
F
To the neon god they made
Bb Csus
And the sign flashed out its warning
Bb Csus
In the words that it was forming
Bb
And the sign said, "The words of the prophet
Csus
Are written on the subway walls, and tenement halls
F C F
And whisper the sounds of silence."
**The end of the song contains the same solo as the end of the first verse.

Simply pretend
C
That you can build them again
Dm C
Look around, the grass is high
Bb A7 Dm
The fields are ripe, it's the springtime of my life
Bb F Fmaj7
Ahhh, seasons change with the scenery
C9
Weaving time in a tapestry
Dm A7 Dm
Won't you stop and remember me
C
At any convenient time
Bb
Funny how my memory slips while looking over manuscripts
Am
Of unpublished rhyme
C
Drinking my vodka and lime
Dm C
But look around, leaves are brown now
Bb A7 Dm
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter
Dm C
Look around, leaves are brown
Bb A7 Dm
There's a patch of snow on the ground...
