SINGIN' IN THE DARK - BROOKS WILLIAMS

SINGIN' IN THE DARK - BROOKS WILLIAMS
I don't know if you've heard brooks yet, but he is a master guitarist, living in the Noho area to the best of my knowledge.  I LOVE many of his songs, but they are not in my key, so I can't really sing along, and I can't hold a candle to his talent and mastery.  But that has not stopped me from dumbing down his music so that I can play and sing some.
You can watch Mark Carter play the song here:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-D11R-XiFao
(Nice Job Mark : )

KEEP ME FROM BLOWING AWAY - LINDA RONSTADT

KEEP ME FROM BLOWING AWAY - Linda Ronstadt

         G                      G/F              Em                    G7/D
I've spent my whole lifetime in a world where the sunshine
            C              C/B               Am
made excuses for not hanging 'round
         D7              C                         D7/B         D7
I've squandered emotions on the slightest of notions
                            D7/B         G
and the first easy loving I've found
  G                 G/F                 Em                  G7/D        
Soon all the good times, the gay times and play times
         C              C/B            Am
like colors run together and fade

Chorus:
        D7            C              D7/B             D7
Oh Lord if you hear me, touch me and hold me
                              D7/B     G
and keep me from blowing away

            G                      G/F                    Em               G7/D
There’s times that I've trembled and my mind's remembered
         C                 C/B        Am
the days that just crumbled away
            D7          C                     D7/B          D7
With nothing to show but these lines that I know
                            D7/B        G
are beginning to show in my face
       G                     G/F               Em                G7/D
So Lord if you're listenin' you know I'm no christian
          C                    C/B        Am
and I ain't got much coming to me
       D7                    C               D7/B           D7
So send down some sunshine, throw out a lifeline
                               D7B      G         
And keep me from blowing away

Chorus    C  G

3/4 time
     Am   /   G   /   F   /

     Am                                     Dm                                   G               
     You came from out of the skies, your skin and your eyes

                               C                 G/B            Am
     The colours of bronze, the moon in your ear

                                G                             F
     Twinkled and shone, soon you'll be gone

      Am                       Dm                                 G
     Sailing out on the blue, your new love and you

                      C      G/B          Am
     Drifting along, leaving me here

                             G                               F
     Thinking it through, soon you'll be gone

      D7/F#                                         F
     Moving through my changes as fast as I can

     D7/F#                                    F
     Trying to bring a balance to me and the man

     D7/F#                                  G                                   Am
     part of me is screaming to say, I want to be carried away

     Am   Dm   /   G   /   C   G   Am   /   G   /   F   /

      D7/F#                                          F
     Moving through my changes as fast as I can

     D7/F#                                       F
     I'll try and bring a balance to me and the man

      D7/F#                                  G                                   Am
     part of me is screaming to say, I want to be carried away

                                 Dm                                  G
     From out of the skies, your skin and your eyes

                                C           G/B          Am
     The colors of bronze, the star in your ear

                                G                           Fsus2
     Twinkled and shone, soon you'll be gone
