With a Little Help From My Friends

Wh[C]at would you do if I sang [Dm]out of tune,

would you stand [G7]up and walk [G7]out on me?
Le[C]nd me your ears and I'll sing[Dm] you a song
and I'll try [G7]not to sing [G7]out of key[C].

{c:Chorus}
{soc}
[C]Oh, I get by [Bb]with a little hel[F]p from my friend[C]s.
Oh, I get high[Bb] with a little help [F]from my friends[C]
 Mm, I'm gonna try[Bb] with a little help [F]from my friends.[C]
Do you need[Am7] anybo[D7]dy? - I ne[C]ed somebo[Bb]dy to love.
[F]Could it be[Am7] anybo[D7]dy? - I [C]want somebo[Bb]dy to love.
[F]
{eoc}

What do I do when my love is away,

does it worry you to be alone?
How do I feel by the end of the day,
are you sad because you're on your own?

{c:Chorus}

Would you believe in a love at first sight?

Yes, I'm certain that it happens all the time.
What do you see when you turn out the light?
I can't tell you but I know it's mine.

{c:Chorus}

Alfred Brumley

I’ll Fly Away

C F C
Some bright morning when this life is over, I’ll fly away
C C-G C
To that home on God’s celestial shore, I’ll fly away
(Chorus)
C
I’ll fly away, oh glory
F C
I’ll fly away (in the morning)
C
When I die Hallelujah by and by
C-G C
I’ll fly away
C F C
When the shadows of this life have gone, I’ll fly away
C C-G C
Like a bird from these prison walls I’ll fly, I’ll fly away (chorus)
C F C
Oh how glad and happy when we meet, I’ll fly away
C C-G C
No more cold iron shackles on my feet, I’ll fly away (chorus)
C F C
Just a few more weary days and then, I’ll fly away
C C-G C
To a land where joys will never end, I’ll fly away. (chorus x 2)

Sisters of Mercy
 A D E A D A
Oh Sis-ters of Mer-cy they are not de-par-ted or gone

C#m G#m C#m G#m E Esus4 E

They were wait-ing for me when I thought that I just cant go on

And they brought me their com-fort and later they brought me their song

A D E A D
Oh I hope you into them you who've been trav-ling so long

G/D D/A A7 D G/D D/A A7 D A E

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes you who must leave everything
That you cannot control
It begins with your family,
but soon it comes round to your soul
Well I've been where you're hanging
I think I can see how you're pinned
When you're not feeling holy
Your loneliness says that your've sinned

They lay down beside me

I made my confession to them
They touched both my eyes
And I touched the dew on their hem
If your life is a leaf
That the seasons tear off and condemn
They will bind yoou with love
That is graceful and green as a stem

When I left they were sleeping

I hope you run into them soon
Dont turn on the lights
You can read their address by the moon
And you wont make me jealous
If I hear that they sweetened your night

A D
We werent lov-ers like that
A E A
And besides it would still be all right

We werent lovers like that

And besides it would still be all right

Suzanne
[G]Suzanne takes you down
To her place by the river,
You can [Am]hear the boats go by,
You can spend the night beside her,
And you [G]know that she's half crazy,
And that's why you want to be there;
And she [Bm]feeds you tea and oranges
That come [C]all the way from China;
And j[G]ust when you mean to tell her
That you have no love to give her,
She [Am]gets you on her wave-length
And lets the river answer
That you've [G]always been her lover.

{c:Chorus:}
And you [Bm]want to travel with her,
And you [C]want to travel blind,
And you [G]know that you can trust her,
For you've [Am]touched her perfect body
With your [G]mind.

And Jesus was a sailor

When He walked upon the water,
And he spent a long time watching
From a lonely wooden tower,
And when he knew for certain
Only drowning men could see Him,
He said, "All men shall be brothers, then,
Until the sea shall free them,"
But He himself was broken
Long before the sky would open,
Forsaken, almost human,
He sank beneath your wisdom
Like a stone.

{c:Chorus:}
And you want to travel with Him,
And you want to travel blind,
And you think you maybe trust Him,
For He's touched your perfect body
With His mind.

Suzanne takes you down

To her place by the river,
You can hear the boats go by,
You can spend the night forever,
And the sun pours down like honey,
On our lady of the harbour;
And she shows you where to look
Amid the garbage and the flowers.
There are heroes in the seaweed,
There are children in the morning,
They are leaning out for love,
And they will lean that way forever,
While Suzanne holds the mirror.

{c:Chorus:}
And you want to travel with her,
And you want to travel blind,
 And you think maybe you'll trust her,
For you've touched her perfect body
With your mind.

Bird on a Wire
Like a b[A]ird on the w[E]ire, like a dr[A]unk in a midnight ch[D]oir
I have tr[A]ied in my w[E]ay to be free [Asus4] [A]
Like a w[A]orm on a h[E]ook, like a kn[A]ight from some old-fashioned
b[D]ook
I have s[A]aved all my r[E]ibbons for thee [Asus4] [A]
[D] If I, if I have been unk[A]ind
[Bm] I hope that you can just let it go b[A]y
[D] If I, if I have been untr[A]ue,
[Bm] I hope you know it was never to y[E]ou.

Like a baby stillborn, like a beast with his horn

I have torn everyone who reached out for me.
But I swear by this song and by all that I have done wrong
I will make it all up to thee.
I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch
He said to me, "You must not ask for so much."
And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door,
She cried to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?"

Like a b[A]ird on the w[E]ire, like a dr[A]unk in a midnight ch[D]oir

I have tr[A]ied in my w[E]ay to be free[D] [A]

Paul Simon

Sounds of Silence
H[Am]ello darkness my old fri[G]end,
I've come to talk with you ag[Am]ain.
Because a vi[C]sion softl[F]y creep[C]ing
Left it's seed while I w[F]as sleep[C]ing,
And the vis[F]ion that was planted in my br[C]ain
Still rem[Am]ains
Wit[C]hin the s[G]ounds of si[Am]lence.

In restless dreams I walked alone,

Narrow streets of cobble stone.
'Neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp,
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sounds of silence.

And in the naked light I saw

Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never shared,
And no one dared
Disturb the sounds of silence.

"Fools!" said I, "you do not know,

Silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach you."
But my words like silent raindrops fell...
And echoed in the wells of silence.

And the people bowed and prayed

To the neon gods they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning,
In the words that it was forming,
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway
walls
And tenement halls."
And whispered in the sounds of silence.

[Dm] [C] [Bb] [A7]

[Dm]Time, time, time, see what's be[C]come of me

While I[Bb] looked around for my possi[Am]bilities
I was so [C]hard to please
But look aro[Dm]und, leaves are br[C]own
And the sk[Bb]y is a h[A7]azy shade of w[Dm]inter

Hear the salvation [C]army band

[Bb]Down by the riverside, it's bound to be a better ride
Than what you've got planned
Carry your cup in your hand
And look around, leaves are brown now
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter

Hang on to your hopes, my friend

That's an easy thing to say, but if your hopes should pass away
Simply pretend
That you can build them again
Look around, the grass is high
The fields are ripe, it's the springtime of my life

[Bb]Ahhh, seasons change with the [F]scener[Fmaj7]y

Weaving time in a [C9]tapestry
Won't you stop and re[Dm]mem[A7]ber m[Dm]e
[C] At any convenient time
[Bb]Funny how my memory slips while looking over manuscripts
Of unpublished rhyme
Drinking my vodka and lime
But look around, leaves are brown now
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter

Look around, leaves are brown

There's a patch of snow on the ground...
