Intro: Riff I

The wind blows through the valley
It’s warm and hard and wild
It gets all up inside the trees
And shakes the leaves all night
They shake up through the mountains
They shake up to the sky
They shake up to the moon above
And then it starts to shine

Riff I:

Chorus:
Bb C Riff I
And Lord, it makes me tremble
C Bb F Riff I
And Lord, it makes me tremble
They shakin’ and shakin’ and shakes
Shakin’ and shakin’ and shakes
Shakin’ and shakin’ and shakes, yeah
Shakin’ and shakin’ and shakes

Riff II:

A fault runs through the valley
It’s long as it is mean
It starts to tear into the earth
And gets all in between
It shakes up through the mountains
It shakes down to the sea
It shakes up to the volcano
And then it starts to scream

Chorus:

Riff II:

Solo over E:

There’s a woman in this valley
She’s sweet as she is rough
And when she starts to dance that way
She shakes the boys all up
She shakes it through the mountains
She shakes it through the night
She shakes it like a hurricane
She gives a blind man sight

Chorus:
Bb C Riff I
And Lord, it makes me tremble
C Bb F Riff I
And Lord, it makes me tremble
They shakin’ and shakin’ and shakes
Shakin’ and shakin’ and shakes
Shakin’ and shakin’ and shakes, yeah
Shakin’ and shakin’ and shakes

Verse (Fig. #1)

In ancient times to a place so [Cadd2/E]far away
Across the land where the earth[Cadd2/E] was as tough as clay
Looked at their hands, looked al[Cadd2/E]l around
And they seemed pleased at what [Cadd/E]they had found

Chorus:

Here in the valley, bread on the table
Work through day hard for as long as we are able
Green is the valley, blue is the night
Fmaj7 Gsus4no5
Out of the darkness and into the light

Verse {Fig. #1)

They could’ve gone but instead [Cadd2/E]they chose to stay
To watch the clouds way up high[Cadd2/E] as they turned to gray
Then through the dark, broke a [Cadd2/E]crimson sun
And at that moment, knew their [Cadd2/E]lives had just begun

DOWN ON THE RIVERBED- Los Lobos

Down on the riverbed
Down on the riverbed
Down on the riverbed
I asked my lover for her hand

A red tailed hawk circled overhead
A red tailed hawk circled overhead
A red tailed hawk circled overhead
“The church on the hill” was what she said

A monster cloud like a big black hen
A monster cloud like a big black hen
A monster cloud like a big black hen
As she drew houses in the sand

REPEAT FIRST VERSE

Then I heard a train whistle blow
Then I heard a train whistle blow
Then I heard a train whistle blow
And I knew it was time to go

REPEAT FIRST VERSE
I asked my lover for her hand
I asked my lover for her hand
I asked my lover for her hand

(from The Neighborhood, 1990)

I was walking down the shore with a wish held tight in my hand
Then the sea came along washed away our names in the sand
G F Em C Riff:D C D D C
I didn’t know what to say to you
You think it’s like a river flowing
Am G… Riff:D C D D C
Don’t know that love…

Solo:

Riff Riff
What was it you said when your hair fell down in your eyes
Riff Riff
You didn’t even care to find the words to tell me goodbye
G F Em C Riff:D C D D C
I didn’t know what to say to you
You think it’s like a river flowing
Am G… Riff:D C D D C
Don’t you know that love is made to break your heart

from “The Neighborhood” – Los Lobos

1 There’s a deep dark hole, and it leads to nowhere
2 There’s a deep dark hole, and it leads to nowhere
3 Better step aside, better take care
4 Keep an eye out and beware
5 There’s a deep dark hole and it leads to nowhere
6 It’ll spin you around and keep you down
7 Tie your feet right to the ground
8 ’Cause it’s got no soul – just a big black hole
9 It’ll mix you up and leave you out cold

Intro: D (11 measures)
G (1 measure)
D (4 measures)

Verse 1

A wise man was telling stories to me
about the places he had been to and the things that had seen

Chorus

A quiet voice is singing something to me
An age old song ‘bout the brave in this land here of the free,
One time one night in America

Verse 2

A lady dressed in white with the man she loves
Standing along the side of their pick up truck
A shot rang out in the night
Just when everything seemed right
Another headline written down in America

Verse 3

The guy that lived next door in three o five
took the kids to the park and disappeared ‘bout half past nine
Who will ever know how much she loved them so
That dark night alone in America

Chorus

Verse 4

Four small boys playing ball in the parking lot
A preacher, a teacher, and the other became a cop
A car skidded into the rain
Making the last little one a saint
One more light goes out in America

Verse 5

A young girl tosses a coin in the wishing well
She hopes for a heaven while for her there’s just this hell
She gave away her life to become somebody’s wife
Another wish unanswered in America

Bridge

People having so much faith
Die too soon while all the rest come late
We write a song that no one sings
On a cold black stone where a lasting peace will finally bring

The sunlight plays upon my window pane
I wake up to a world that’s still the same
My father said to be strong
That a good man could never do wrong
In a dream I had last night in America

One time one night in America
One time one night in America

Outro: D (Until fadeout)
