HALLELUJAH, JEFF BUCKLEY

HALLELUJAH, JEFF BUCKLEY - CAPO 5TH FRET


    C                          Am
I heard there was a secret chord
        C                              Am
that David played and it pleased the Lord
        F                      G                     C          G7
but you don't really care for music do you?
             C
well it goes like this
       Am                          C                         Am
the fourth the fifth the minor fall and the major lift
        F                        G               Am   G7
the baffled king composing Hallelujah


         F           Am             F             C G7  C
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah

                C                                     Am
well your faith was strong but you needed proof
        C                       Am
you saw her bathing on the roof
         F                       G                    C           G7
her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
         C                      Am
she tied you to her kitchen chair
        C                                        Am
she broke your throne and she cut your hair
       F                                G              Am       G7
and from your lips you drew an Hallelujah

F                    Am             F             C G7  C
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah

 C                     Am
baby I've been here before
        C                                    Am
i've seen this room and I've walked this floor
   F                  G                      C          G7
i used to live alone before I knew you
              C                                Am
and I've seen your flag on the marble arch
        C                     Am
and love is not a victory march
          F                   G                Am   G7
it's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

   F                     Am             F             C G7  C
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah


         C                                Am
there was a time when you let me know
             C                 Am
what's really going on below
         F                     G                     C           G7
but now you never show that to me do you?
              C                     Am
but remember when I moved in you
               Am                 C
and the holy dove was moving too
         F                       G                  Am     G7
and every breath we drew was Hallelujah

   F                    Am             F             C G7  C
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah

   C                     Am
maybe there's a God above
      C                   Am
but all I've ever learned from love
         F                       G                       C            G7                         
was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
            C                           Am
and it's not a cry that you hear at night
        C                              Am
it's not somebody who's seen the light
          F                    G               Am    G7
it's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah


        F           Am             F             C G7  C
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
        F           Am             F             C G7  C
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah

Come & Get Your Love - Redbone

Come And Get Your Love   -  Redbone
G  A  D  Bm   over and over
See Redbone perform it here:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvqMvxdZTVE
The thing to do on this one is just start playing the chords, and practice out the timing on the music/lyrics.  It's a fun song if you get the party to sing the 2nd heys and the chorus.  
    
 Hey (hey)     What's the matter with your head?  yeah...
 Hey (hey)     What's the matter with your mind and your sign?
 And-A ooh-oh   

Hey (    hey)     Nothin's a matter with your head, baby,
Find it, come on and find it.
H-el-l, with it, baby, 'cause you're fine and you're mine
And you look so divine

Chorus:
Come and get your love, Come and get your love, Come and get your  love now
Come and get your love, Come and get your love, Come and get your love now
    
Hey (    hey)   What's the matter with your feel right?    
Don't you feel right, baby?
Hey,….. oh, yeah,   
Get it from the main line, alright

 I said-a find it,  find it, darling,
 love it If you like it, yeah-eh
Hey (    hey) It's your business if you want some
Take some,     get it together, baby

Chorus

Hey (    hey)  What's the matter with your feel right?    
Don't you feel right, baby?
Hey, oh, yeah, get it from the main line, alright

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 : )

         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

No sweeping exits    or off stage lines

HEADLOCK - IMOGEN HEAP

HEADLOCK - IMOGEN HEAP
CAPO 3RD FRET if you're comfortable in the key I use.
You can put her in at youtube, and pull up this song, but I highly recommend you
watch here also:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViKKY_pM9rQ
Lennon & Maisey are wonderful, but can sing in a much higher range than I find comfortable.  This is easier on my voice and still allows some creativity.  Again, this one is not old, but I do love it.

Dm                          Bb
Distant Flickerings, It’s greener scenery
Dm                                    C
This weathers bringing it, all back again.
Dm                      Bb
Great adventures, faces in condensation
Dm                             C
I’m going outside, to take it all in.

Chorus:
Dm                                C
You say it’s too late to start
(V. 2 = You’re afraid to start)
                                  G
Got your heart in a headlock

I don’t believe any of it.
Dm                                 C
You say it’s too late to start
                                G
Got your heart in a headlock
C                           G              Dm
You know you’re better than this

Verse 2
Dm                              Bb
Wear a different pair, Just something out of step
Dm                           C
Throw a stranger an unexpected smile
Dm                           Bb
With big intention, still posted at your station
Dm                             C
Always on about the day it should have flied


Chorus:
               Dm                              Bb
Bridge:  You’ve been walking, You’ve been hiding
Dm                        C
You look half dead half the time
Dm                     Bb
Monitoring you, like machines do
Dm                                      C
You’ve still got it, I’m just keeping an eye     (2x)

Chorus:

Ah….verse.

Too late to feel sorrow  Too late to feel pain

Don't make him ask you  Dont make him beg
       F              Am                    G
He was a war hero  And thats how he hurt his leg
                          Em
He killed thirty injuns  With one cannon ball

 He’s just an old hobo  Asleep out in the hall

[chorus]

A wife and five children  Living in L.A.

How they miss their dear daddy he’s gone so far away

They still have his picture  Its a-hung on the wall

Now hes just an old hobo  Asleep out in the hall

He used to be a gambling man just like you

Until he sank so low that there was

Nothing that no one could do
