Shine On Harvest Moon (Jack Norwort and Nora Bayes 1908)

[A7]The [Dm]night was mighty [A7]dark so you could [Dm]hardly see,

For the moon refused to [A7]shine.

[Dm]Couple sitting [A7]underneath a [Dm]willow tree,

For [G7]love they [C7]pined.

Little maid was afraid of the dark

She [F]said, "I guess I'll go."

[G7]Boy began to [C7]sigh,

[G7]looked up at the [C7]sky,

[D7]Told the moon his [G7]little tale of [C7]woe

Chorus [D7]Shine on, shine on, harvest [G7]moon, up in the sky;

[C6]I [C7]ain't [C6]had no [C7]lovin'

Since [F]January, [Bb]February, [F]June or July.

[D7]Snow time ain't no time to [G7]stay, outdoors and spoon;

[C6]Shine [C7]on, [C6]shine on, [C7]harvest [F]moon,

For [Bb]me and my [F]gal.

[Dm]I can't see [A7]why a [Dm]boy should sigh,

By his side is the girl he loves so [A7]true,

[Dm]All he has to [A7]say is: "Won't you [Dm]be my bride,

For [G7]I love [C7]you,

I can't see why I'm telling you,

When [F]I know that you can guess."

[G7]Harvest moon will [C7]smile,

[G7]Shine on all the [C7]while,

[D7]If the little [G7]girl should answer [C7]"yes."

Aint She Sweet (Milton Ager and Jack Yellen 1927)

Now I [C]ask you [E7]very [A7]confi[A7+5]dentially

[D7]Ain't [G7]she [C]sweet? [G7]

Oh, me! Oh, [F9]my!

Ain't that per[C]fection?[G7]

[C]I [Gdim]re[G7]peat,

don't you [C]think that's [Gdim]kind of [G7]neat?

And I [C]ask you [E7]very [A7]confi[A7+5]dentially

"Big Rock Candy Mountain" (Traditional)

1 "[C]In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

There's a [F]land that's fair and [C]bright,

Where the [F]handouts grow on [C]bushes,

And you [F]sleep out every [G7]night,

Where the [C]boxcars all are empty,

And the [F]sun shines every [C]day,

On the [F]birds and the [C]bees

And the [F]cigarette [C]trees,

The [F]lemonade [C]springs

Where the [F]bluebird [C]sings,

In the [G7]Big Rock Candy [C]Mountains."


All the [F]cops have wooden [C]legs,

And the [F]bulldogs all have [C]rubber teeth,

And the [F]hens lay soft boiled [G7]eggs.

The [C]farmers' trees are full of fruit

And the [F]barns are full of [C]hay.

Oh, I'm [F]bound to [C]go

Where there [F]ain't no [C]snow,

Where the [F]rain don't [C]fall

And the [F]wind don't [C]blow,



You [F]never change your [C]socks,

And the [F]little streams of [C]alcohol

Come a-[F]tricklin' down the [G7]rocks,

The [C]brakemen have to tip their hats

And the [F]railroad bulls are [C]blind.

There's a [F]lake of [C]stew,

And of [F]whiskey [C]too,

You can [F]paddle all a[C]round 'em

In a [F]big ca[C]noe,


4 "[C]In the Big Rock Candy Mountains,

The [F]jails are made of [C]tin,

And [F]you can walk right [C]out again,

As [F]soon as you are [G7]in.

There [C]ain't no short-handled shovels,

No [F]axes, saws, or [C]picks,

I'm a-[F]going to [C]stay,

Where you [F]sleep all [C]day,

Where they [F]hung the [C]jerk,

Who in[F]vented [C]work,

I'll [F]see you [C]all

This [F]coming [C]fall,


Intro One [C]evening as the sun went down

And the jungle fire was burning,

Down the track came a hobo hikin',

And he said, "Boys, I'm not turning.

I'm [F]headed for a [C]land that's [F]far a[C]way,

Be[F]side the crystal [G7]fountains,

So [C]come with me, we'll go and see,

The Big Rock [G7]Candy [C]Mountains."

Galaxy Song (Eric Idle 1983)

(spoken) Whenever life gets you down, Mrs. Brown

And things seem sad or tough

And people are useless, or obnoxious, or daft,

And you feel that you've had quite enough...

[F]Just re-

[Bb]member that you're standing on a planet that's evolving

revolving at nine-hundred miles an [F]hour

and orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned,

a sun that is the source of all our [Bb]power.

Now the sun and you and me, and all the stars that we can see

Are [G7]moving a million miles a [Cm]day

In an outer spiral arm at forty [Bb]thousand miles an [G7]hour

of the [C7]galaxy we [F]call the Milky [Bb]Way.

[Bb]Our galaxy itself contains a hundred million stars,

it's a hundred thousand light-years side to [F]side,

it bulges in the middle, sixty thousand light-years thick,

but out by us it's just three thousand light-years [Bb]wide.

We're thirty thousand light-years from galactic central point

We go [G7]round every two hundred million [Cm]years,

and our galaxy itself is one of [Bb]millions of [G7]billions in this

A[C7]mazing and Ex[F]panding Uni[Bb]verse!

[Bb]The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding

in all of the directions it can [F]whiz,

as fast as it can go, the speed of light, y'know,

twelve million miles a minute, and that's the [Bb]fastest speed there is,

So remember when you're feeling very small and insecure

How a[G7]mazingly unlikely is your [Cm]birth,

And pray that there's intelligent life [Bb]somewhere up in [G7]space,

'Cause there's [C7]bugger-all [F]down here on [Bb]Earth.

Take On Me (A-Ha 1985)

[F]Shying a[G]way

[Am]I'll be coming for your [F]love , OK?

Chorus [C]Take [G]on [Am]me (take on me)

[C]take [G]me [Am]on (take on me)

[C]I'll [G]be [Am]gone

In a day or [C]two [G][Am]

So [F]needless to [G]say

I'm [C]odds and ends [Am]

But that's me [F]stumbling a[G]way

[C]Slowly learning that [Am]life is OK

[F]Say after me [G]

[Am]It's no better to be [F]safe than sorry

Chorus Oh the [F]things that you [G]say

[C]Is it live or

[Am]Just to play my [F]worries a[G]way

You're [C]all the things I've [Am]got to remember

[F]You're shying a[G]way
