You Don’t know how it feels

E A
Let me run with you tonight
E A E A E A
I’ll take you on a moonlight ride
E A
There’s someone I used to see
E A E A E A
But she don’t give a damn for me
E B E A
But let me get to the point, let’s roll another joint
E B E A
And turn the radio loud, I’m too alone to be proud
E D A
You don’t know how it feels
E D Asus E D A, E D A
You don’t know how it feels to be me

People come, people go


Some grow young, some grow cold
I woke up in between
A memory and a dream

So let’s get to the point, let’s roll another joint


Let’s head on down the road
There’s somewhere I gotta go
And you don’t know how it feels
You don’t know how it feels to be me

My old man was born to rock


He’s still tryin’ to beat the clock
Think of me what you will
I got a little space to fill

So let’s get to the point, let’s roll another joint


Let’s head on down the road
There’s somewhere I gotta go
And you don’t know how it feels
No, you don’t know how it feels to be me

Pink Houses
GCG, GCG
G
There's a black man with a black cat livin' in a black neighborhood
He's got an interstate runnin' through his front yard
F C G
You know he thinks that he's got it so good
And there's a woman in the kitchen cleanin' up the evenin' slop
F C
And he looks at her and says, "Hey darlin', I can remember when
G
you could stop a clock."
C G
Oh but ain't that America for you and me

Little pink houses for you and me
GCG, GCG
There's a young man in a t-shirt
Listenin' to a rockin' rollin' station
He's got greasy hair, greasy smile
He says, "Lord this must be my destination."
'Cause they told me when I was younger
"Boy you're gonna be president."
But just like everything else those old crazy dreams
Just kinda came and went
CHORUS
Well there's people and more people
What do they know know know
Go to work in some high rise
And vacation down at the Gulf of Mexico
Ooh yeah
And there's winners and there's losers
But they ain't no big deal
'Cause the simple man baby pays for the thrills, the bills,
the pills that kill
CHORUS
Authority Song

DGA, DGA
D G A D G A
Oh, they like to get you in a compromising position
D G A D G A
They like to get you there and smile in your face
Well, they think they're so cute when they got you in that condition
Well I think it's a total disgrace
And I said:

I fight authority, Authority always wins


Well, I fight authority, Authority always wins
Well, I've been doing it since I was a young kid
I come out grinnin'
Well, I fight authority, Authority always wins

So I call up my preacher
I say, "Give me strength for Round 5."
He said , "You don't need no strength, you need to grow up son."
I said, "Growing up leads to growing old and then to dying"
"OO and dying to me don't sound like all that much fun."
So I said:

CHORUS

I said Oh no no no (3X)
I fight authority Authority always wins

Sweet Caroline

Where it began, I can't begin to knowin'
C G
But then I know it's growin' strong

Was in the spring, And spring became a summer


Who'd have believed you'd come along

Hands, touchin' hands, Reachin' out
F G
Touchin' me, Touchin' you
C F G
Sweet Caroline, Good times never seemed so good
C F G
I've been inclined, To believe they never would
But now I

Look at the night


And it don't seem so lonely
We fill it up with only two
And when I hurt
Hurtin' runs off my shoulders
How can I hurt when holdin' you

Warm, touchin' warm


Reachin' out
Touchin' me
Touchin' you

Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would
Oh,Lord, no

Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
Sweet Caroline
I believed they never could

Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene, I’ll see you in my dreams.
E B E
Last Saturday night I got married. Me and my wife settled down.

Chorus

Sometimes I live in the country, sometimes I live in town


Sometimes I take a great notion, to jump in the river and drown.

Chorus

Quit your ramblin’, quit your gamblin’, stop stayin’ out late at night.
Stay home with your wife and family, and stay by your fireside bright.

Chorus
Up on Cripple Creek
A D
When i get off of this mountain, you know where I want to go?
A D E
Straight down the mississippi river, to the gulf of mexico
A D
To lake charles, louisiana, little bessie, girl that I once knew
A D E
She told me just to come on by, if there's anything she could do

Chorus:
A
Up on cripple creek she sends me
D
If I spring a leak she mends me
E
I don't have to speak, she defends me
F#m G
A drunkard's dream if i ever did see one

Good luck had just stung me, to the race track i did go
She bet on one horse to win and i bet on another to show
The odds were in my favor, i had 'em five to one
When that nag to win came around the track, sure enough she had won
Chorus
I took up all of my winnings, and i gave my little bessie half
And she tore it up and threw it in my face, just for a laugh
Now there's one thing in the whole wide world, i sure would like to see
That's when that little love of mine, dips her doughnut in my tea
Chorus
Now me and my mate were back at the shack, we had spike jones on the box
She said, "i can't take the way he sings, but i love to hear him talk"
Now that just gave my heart a throb, to the bottom of my feet
And i swore and i took another pull, my bessie can't be beat
Chorus
Now there's a flood out in california and up north it's freezing cold
And this living on the road is getting pretty old
So i guess i'll call up my big mama, tell her i'll be rolling in
But you know, deep down, i'm kind of tempted
To go and see my bessie again.
Chorus

Heaven
G, Am
Break G
Saaaaave me from this prison
Am G, Am
Lord help me get away
G Am G, Am
Cause ooooooonly you can save me now from this misery
Break G Am
IIIIIIIIIII've been lost in my own place, and I'm getting weary
G Am
How far is heaven
Break G Am
And IIIIII know that I need to change my ways of living
G Am break G, Am G, Am
How far is heaven, Lord can you tell me

I've been locked up way too long in this crazy world


How far is heaven
And I just keep on praying Lord and just keep on living
How far is heaven
Yeah, Lord can you tell me
How far is heaven (I just gotta know how far, yeah)
How far is heaven (Yeah, Lord can you tell me)

Tu que estas en alto cielo


Echame tu bendicion

Cause I know there's a better place than this place I'm living
How far is heaven
And I just got to have some faith and "just" keep on giving
How far is heaven (Yeah, Lord can you tell me)
How far is heaven (I just got to know how far, yeah)
How far is heaven (Yeah, Lord can you tell me)
How far is heaven
Cause I just gotta know how far...
I just wanna know how far

Big Rock Candy Mountain


C
One evening as the sun went down
And the jungle fires were burning,
Down the track came a hobo hiking,
And he said, "Boys, I'm not turning
F C F C
I'm headed for a land that's far away
F C G
Besides the crystal fountains
C
So come with me, we'll go and see
The Big Rock Candy Mountains
C
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains,
F C
There's a land that's fair and bright,
F C
Where the handouts grow on bushes
C G
And you sleep out every night.
C
Where the boxcars all are empty
F C
And the sun shines every day
F C
And the birds and the bees
F C
And the cigarette trees
F C
The lemonade springs
F C
Where the bluebird sings
G C
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains


All the cops have wooden legs
And the bulldogs all have rubber teeth
And the hens lay soft-boiled eggs
The farmers' trees are full of fruit
And the barns are full of hay
Oh I'm bound to go
Where there ain't no snow
Where the rain don't fall
The winds don't blow
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains


You never change your socks
And the little streams of alcohol
Come trickling down the rocks
The brakemen have to tip their hats
And the railway bulls are blind
There's a lake of stew
And of whiskey too
You can paddle all around it
In a big canoe
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains,


The jails are made of tin.
And you can walk right out again,
As soon as you are in.
There ain't no short-handled shovels,
No axes, saws nor picks,
I'm bound to stay
Where you sleep all day,
Where they hung the jerk
That invented work
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.
....
I'll see you all this coming fall
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
