You can play the game and you can act out the part
Though you know it wasn’t [D/A]written for you
But tell me, how can you stand there with your broken heart
Ashamed of play[D/A]ing the fool
One thing can lead to an-other; it doesn’t take any s[D/A]ac-ri-fice
Oh, father and mother, sis-ter and brother,
if it feels [D/A]nice, don’t think twi[(D/F#)]ce

[D/F#]Just shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
Things are gonna work out fine if you only will
Shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
Things are gonna be much better if you only will (C G)

VERSE 2: – Same chord progression as first verse.

——–

You can run but you cannot hide;
this is widely known
And what you plan to do with your foolish pride
when you’re all by yourself alone
Once you tell somebody the way that you feel
you can feel it beginning to ease
I think it’s true what they say about the squeaky wheel
always getting the grease.

O -[G/B]le -a – na, via Del No[E7+]rte, O [C/E]Canada

It was snowtime, it was showtime, it was no time
To be lost in [B/D#]downtown Toro[D/F#]nto
It was wintertime, ‘round dinnertime
I’m beginning to see that the sunshine [C/E]just doesn’t want to

From a side street come a backbeat
Pulling on me like the moon pullin’ [B/D#]on the tide[D/F#]
Ay caramba, one-note samba, la la la la bamba
Lighting me [C/E]up inside

They had the heat of the sun in the beat of the talking drum
The light of a tropical moon on a night to remember
Someone summoned up summer just strumming on an old guitar
And every note was the antidote to December

My first impression, some kind of procession
Pulling on a long line of [B/D#]fancy dance[D/F#]rs
And a band stuck up on a flatbed truck
They were raising a ruckus swinging [C/E]for the fences

Exiled Mexican textile working
Punching two clocks, sending two [B/D#]paychecks home, [D/F#]boys
Hard working law ‘biding bus riding people
Celebration on wheels [C/E]destination unknown

It was the heat of the sun in the beat of that talking drum
The light of a tropical moon on a night to remember
Someone summoned up summer just strumming on an old guitar
Yes, and every note was the antidote to December
Ri-[G/B]o Grande
O-le-a-[E7+]na
Vi-a Del No[C/E]rte
Oh Canada

[C#/E#] [E/G#]
[D/F#] [D/E]
There was a lifeline south in the song coming from her mouth
It swallowed me up and I followed it on downtown
In the light of dawn the message that life goes on
For the frozen man an invitation to live again
It was the heat of the sun in the beat of that talking drum
The light of a tropical moon on a night to remember
Someone summoned up summer just strumming on an old guitar
And every note, the antidote to December
They were shakin’ it loose with the juice from the mambo man
Long lanky Yankee boy, Buckwheat and Spanky, my-my

When you’re down and troubled and you need a helping hand,
and nothing, oh, nothing is going right,
close your eyes and think of me and soon I will be there
to brighten up even your darkest night.[/D7]

You just call out my name, and you know wherever I am,
I’ll come running to see you again.

Winter, spring, summer, or fall, all you got to do is call
and I’ll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah. (2nd time –>)
You’ve got a friend[G/C].[Cd/Gsus4][G/F#m7]

If the sky above you should turn dark and full of clouds,
and that old north wind should begin to blow,
keep your head together and call my name out loud.

Soon I’ll be knocking upon your door. ——>()

Cf F C
Hey ain’t it good to know that you’ve got a friend when
people can be so cold. They’ll hurt you and desert you.
Well, they’ll take your soul if you let them.
Oh yeah, but don’t you let them.

You just call out my name, and you know wherever I am,
I’ll come running to see you again.

Winter, spring, summer, or fall, all you got to do is call
and I’ll be there, yes I will.
You’ve got a friend. You’ve got a friend.
Ain’t it good to know you’ve got a friend?

Intro:

[-]

Verse 1:

Today, today, today
I’m finally on my way[-]
The time has come to say
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Verse 2:

The bird is on the wing
The bell is about to ring[-]
The big girl she’s about to sing
Today, today, today

Bridge:

The world will open wide
And I’m running with the tide
It’s time to cut this side
And I must not miss my ride

Interlude:

[-]

Bridge 2:

Somehow I haven’t died
And I feel the same inside
As when I caught this ride
When first I sold my pride

Verse 3:

The way ahead is clear
My heart is free from fear[-]
I’ll plant my flag right here
Today, today, today

(Verse)
If I had stopped to listen once or twic[C/G]e
If[G/F#] I had closed my mouth and opened my eyes
If I had cooled my head and warmed my heart
I’d not be on this road tonight
Carry on, (carry on) never mind feeling sorry for yourself
It doesn’t save you from your troubled mind

(Chorus)
Walk down that lonesome road all by yourse[C/G]lf
Don’t [G/F#]turn your head back over your shoulder
And only stop to rest yourself when the silver moon is shining high above the trees

James Taylor (c) 1976

I don’t have much to say[C/D]
Thought I’d call you up any-way[C/D]
Just to try to show you the way
That I feel today
Oh, I miss you ba-by

I sure am on the road[C/D]
I don’t need to say much more[C/D]
Just the same old well-known stranger
That I was before
It seems like yesterday now

Daddy’s all gone[C/D]
Only halfway home[C/D]
He’s holding on to the telephone
Saying, Please don’t let the show go on.
[-] [C/D]
There’s a bus every other hour [C/D]
There’s even the midnight train [C/D]
But that don’t leave me the power
To see your face again [Em7 ]
It’s not that simple [F/C]

You see, there’s a room full of smiling faces [C/D]
There’s a man standin’ by the door [C/D]
Says it’s time to change our places
And get down on the floor [Em7 ]
Kill ‘Em, baby

Daddy’s all gone [C/D]
He’s just halfway home [C/D]
He’s holding on to the microphone
Singing, Please don’t make the show go on. [F/C]
[-] [-] [-] [- ]

James Taylor (c) 1973 Country Road Music

Daddy’s baby, what’s got you think- ing
What’s got you sinking so [D/G]low?
Is there something I should [F#7sus4]know,
something new to you?
Daddy’s baby, fussing and fret- ting,
keeping on getting it [D/G]wrong.
She can only last so [F#7sus4]long
She’s going for a song,

so sing her a lull-a- by- bye
Baby don’t [F#7sus4]like to cry
So sing her a lullaby-bye
Swaddle and [F#7sus4]swing her
Sing her a lulla-by

She makes her [D/E]feelings [E/A]known to me
Her every [D/E]side is s[E/A]hown to me
And in our time alone
my love has surely [Abm7-5]grown of its own
solid as a stepping stone[B/E]
as silently as the dawn was breaking, [F#7sus4]soft and clear
and my tears were dry and my [F#7sus4]fears had flown
so I called my love my home.

[D/F#]And we’ll all go together
To pick wild mountain thyme
All around the purple heather,
Will you go lassie, will you go?

[D/F#]I will build my love a bower
By yon pure and crystal fountain,
Yes and on it I will lay
All the flowers of[D/F#] the mountain.
Will you go lassie, will you go?

[D/F#]And we’ll all go together
To pick wild mountain thyme
All around the purple heather,
Will you go lassie, will you go?

Interlude

If my [D/F#]true love won’t come with me,
I will surely find another
To pick wild mountain thyme
All around the blo[D/F#]oming heather
Will you go lassie, will you go?

[D/F#]And we’ll all go together
To pick wild mountain thyme
All around the purple heather,
Will you go oh will you go lassie, will you go?
