Leaving on a jet plane

All my [C] bags are packed I'm [F] ready to go

I'm [C] standing here out[F]side your door

I [C] hate to wake you [Dm] up to say good[G7]bye

But the [C] dawn is breakin' it's [F] early morn

The [C] taxi's waitin' he's [F] blowin' his horn

Al[C]ready I'm so [Dm] lonesome I could [G7] cry

Chorus:

So [C] kiss me and [F] smile for me

[C] Tell me that you'll [F] wait for me

[C] Hold me like you'll [Dm] never let me [G7] go

I'm [C] leavin' [F] on a jet plane

[C] Don't know when [F] I'll be back again

[C] Oh [Dm] babe I hate to [G7] go

There's so [C] many times I've [F] let you down

[C] So many times I've [F] played around

[C] I tell you now [Dm] they don't mean a [G7] thing

Ev'ry [C] place I go I'll [F] think of you

Ev'ry [C] song I sing I'll [F] sing for you

When [C] I come back I'll [Dm] wear your wedding [G7] ring

Chorus

[C] Now the time has [F] come to leave you

[C] One more time [F] let me kiss you

Then [C] close your eyes, [Dm] I'll be on my [G7] way

[C] Dream about the [F] days to come

When [C] I won't have to [F] leave alone

[C] About the times [Dm] I won't have to [G7] say

Chorus

Me and Julio

Intro: [G] [C][G] [D7] x 4

[G] The mama pajama rolled out of bed

And she ran to the police [C] station

When the [D7] papa found out he began to shout

And he started the investi[G]gation

It's against the [D7] law it was against the [G] law

What the mama [D7] saw it was against the [G] law

[G] The mama looked down and spit on the ground

Ev'ry time my name gets [C] mentioned

The [D7] papa say Ah if I get that boy

I'm gonna stick him in the house of de[G]tention

I'm on my [C] way I don't know [G] where I'm goin'

I'm on my [C] way I'm takin' my [G] time but I [A] don't know [D7] where

Goodbye to [C] Rosie the Queen of Co[G]rona

See me and [F] Julio [C] down by the [D] school[G]yard [C] [G] [D7]

See [G] me and [F] Julio [C] down by the [D] school[G]yard

[G] In a couple of days they come and take me away

But the press let the story [C] leak

And when the [D7] radical priest come to get me released

We's all on the cover of [G] Newsweek

I'm on my [C] way I don't know [G] where I'm goin'

I'm on my [C] way I'm takin' my [G] time but I [A] don't know [D7] where

Goodbye to [C] Rosie the Queen of Co[G]rona

See me and [F] Julio [C] down by the [D] school[G]yard [C] [G] [D7]

See [G] me and [F] Julio [C] down by the [D] school[G]yard [C] [G] [D7]

See [G] me and [F] Julio [C] down by the [D] school[G]yard [C] [G] [D7] [G]

[D7] Stroll around the grounds un[C]til you feel at home

Chorus

Chorus (replace first line with Koo koo ka choo Mrs. Robinson)

[D7] Sitting on a sofa on a Sunday afternoon

[G] Going to the candidates’ de[G7]bate

[C] Laugh about it [F] shout about it [Bb] when you've got to [Gm] choose

[D7] Ev’ry way you look at it you [C] lose

[C] Where have you [F] gone Joe Di[Dm]Maggio

Our [F] nation turns its [Dm] lonely eyes to [Bb] you woo woo [C7] woo

[C] What's that you [F] say Mrs [Dm] Robinson

Ring of Fire

[G] Love is a [C] burning [G] thing

And it makes a [C] fiery [G] ring

Bound by [C] wild de[G]sire

I fell in to a [C] ring of [G]fire

[D7] I fell in to a [C] burning ring of [G] fire

I went [D7] down down down

And the [C] flames went [G] higher

And it burns burns burns

The [C] ring of [G] fire the [C] ring of [G] fire

Intro riff x 2 with chords over

[D7] I fell in to a [C] burning ring of [G] fire

I went [D7] down down down

And the [C] flames went [G] higher

And it burns burns burns

The [C] ring of [G] fire the [C] ring of [G] fire

[G] The taste of [C] love is [G] sweet

When hearts like [C] ours [G] meet

I fell for you [C] like a [G] child

Oh but the [C] fire went [G] wild

[D7] I fell in to a [C] burning ring of [G] fire

I went [D7] down down down

And the [C] flames went [G] higher

And it burns burns burns

The [C] ring of [G] fire the [C] ring of [G] fire

Folsom Prison Blues [G] I hear the train a comin' it's rolling round the bend And I ain't seen the sunshine since [G7] I don't know when I'm [C] stuck in Folsom prison and time keeps draggin' [G] on But that [D7] train keeps a rollin' on down to San An[G]ton [G] When I was just a baby my mama told me son Always be a good boy don't [G7] ever play with guns But I [C] shot a man in Reno just to watch him [G] die When I [D7] hear that whistle blowing I hang my head and [G] cry [G] I bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car They're probably drinkin' coffee and [G7] smoking big cigars Well I [C] know I had it coming I know I can't be [G] free But those [D7] people keep a movin' And that's what tortures [G] me [G] Well if they'd free me from this prison If that railroad train was mine I bet I'd move it all a little [G7] further down the line [C] Far from Folsom prison that's where I want to [G] stay And I'd [D7] let that lonesome whistle blow my blues a[G]way [G] I hear the train a comin' it's rolling round the bend And I ain't seen the sunshine since [G7] I don't know when I'm [C] stuck in Folsom prison and time keeps draggin' [G] on But that [D7] train keeps a rollin' on down to San An[G]ton
