Eagles - Lyin' Eyes


G Gmaj7 C
City girls just seem to find out early
Am G D
How to open doors with just a smile
G Gmaj7 C
A rich old man, and she wont' have to worry;
Am C G
She'll dress up all in lace and go in style

G Gmaj7 C
Late at night a big old house gets lonely
Am G D
I guess every form of refuge has its price.
G Gmaj7 C
And it breaks her heart to think her love is only
Am G D
Given to a man with hands as cold as ice.


Chorus :
G C G
You can't hide your lyin' eyes
Em Bm Am D
And your smile is a thin disguise
G G7 C A
I thought by now you'd realize
Am D G
There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes

G Gmaj7 C
So she tells him she must go out for the evening
Am G D
To comfort an old friend who's feelin' down
G Gmaj7 C
But the knows where she's goin' as she's leavin'
Am G D
She is headed for the cheatin' side of town

Chorus :

G Gmaj7 C
She gets up and pours herself a strong one
Am G D
And stares out at the stars up in the sky
G Gmaj7 C
Another night, it's gonna be a long one
Am G D
She draws the shade and hangs her head to cry

G Gmaj7 C
My, oh my, you sure know how to arrange things
Am G D
You set it up so well, so carefully
G Gmaj7 C
Ain't it funny how your new life didn't change things
Am G D
You're still the same old girl you used to be

Chorus :

Am D G
There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes
Am D G
There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes

C G A7 C D7
You both kicked off your shoes, Man I dig those rhythm and blues!
G D Em Am C
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck, with a pink carnation and a pick-up truck.
G D Em C D7 G C G
But I knew I was out of luck the day, the music died.
G D7
I started singing....


Chorus :


G Am, C Am
Now for ten years, we've been on our own and moss grows fat on a rolling stone,
Em D G D Em
But that's not how it used to be.Cause when the jester sang for the King &
Queen
Am C Em A7 D7
in a coat he borrowed from James Dean and a voice that came from you and me
Em Am Em Am
Oh and while the king was looking down the jester stole his thorny crown
C G A7 C D7
the court room was adjourned no verdict was returned.
G D Em Am C
And while Lennon read a book on Marx the quartet practiced in the park
G D Em C D7 G C G
and we sang dirges in the dark the day the music died
G D7
I started singin'


Chorus :


G Am, C Am
Helter skelter in the summer swelter the birds flew off with a fallout shelter
Em D G D Em
Eight miles high and falling fast it landed foul on the grass
Am C Em A7 D7
The players tried for a forward pass with the jester on the sidelines in a cast_
Em Am Em Am
The half time air was sweet perfume while the seargeants played a marching tune
C G A7 C D7
we all got up to dance but we never got the chance. 'Cause
G D Em Am C
the players tried to take the field, but the marching band refused to yield
G D Em C D7 G C G
Do you recall what was revealed the day the music died.
G D7
I started singin'

Chorus :

G Am, C Am
And there we were all in one place, A generation lost in space.
Em D G D Em
With no time left, to start again. So come on, Jack be nimble, jack be quick,
Am C Em A7 D7
Jack flash sat on a candlestick. 'Cause fire is the devil's only friend.
Em Am Em Am
And as I watched him on the stage my hands were clenched in fists of rage.
C G A7 C D7
no angel born in hell could break that satan's spell
G D Em Am C
And as the flames climbed high into the night to light the sacrificial rite
G D Em C D7 G C G
I saw Satan laughing with delight, the day the music died.
G D7
we were singin'

Chorus :

G D Em
I met a girl who sang the blues so
Am C Em D
I asked her for some happy news but she just smiled and turned away.
G D Em Am C
I went down to the sacred store. Where I heard the music years before.
Em C D
But the man there said the music wouldn't play. And
Em Am Em Am
in the streets the children screamed, the lovers cried and the poets dreamed.
C G Am C D
But not a word was spoken. The church bells all were broken.
G D Em Am7 D
And the three men I admire most: the father, Son and the Holy Ghost
G D Em C D7 G C G
They caught the last train for the coast the day, the music died.
G D7 C D7 G C G
And they were singing.

(Chorus : twice, ending: this'll be the day that I die)

Eagles - The girl from yesterday


INTRO: C G/B Am7 GD7GD7

G G7 C
It wasn't really sad the way they said good-bye
D G D
Or maybe it just hurt so bad she couldn't cry
C/E D/F# G G7 C
He packed his things, walked out the door and
drove away
G/B Am7 G D7 GD7
And she became the girl from yesterday

G G7 C
He took a plane across the sea to some foreign land
D G D
She stayed at home and tried so hard to understand
C/E D/F# G G7 C
How someone who had been so close could be
so far away
G/B Am7 G D7 G
And she became the girl from yesterday

D/F# Em7 D
She doesn't know what's right
CG
She doesn't know what's wrong
C D/F# Em7 G/DC D7
She only knows the pain that comes from waiting for so long
C G
And she doesn't count the teardrops
C G
That she's cried while he's away
Em D C G/B
Because she knows deep in her heart
Am7D7susD7Em7 D/F#
That he'll be back someday

guitar solo
GG7CC G/B Am7

A A7 D
The light's on in the window; she's waiting by the phone

Talking to a memory that's never coming home

She dreams of his returning and the things that he might say

But she'll always be the girl from yesterday
A/C# Bm7 A E7D A/C# Bm7 A
Yeh she'll always be the girl from yesterday

Green Day - Boulevard of Broken Dreams


Em   G   D   A
Em   G   D   A


Em       G
I walk a lonely road
    D        A                Em
The only one I that have ever known
      G
Don't know where it goes
D           A              Em   G    D    A
But its home to me and I walk alone


Em          G
I walk this empty street
D           A              Em
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
     G
Where the city sleeps
    D            A              Em    G   D
And I'm the only one and I walk alone
        A             Em    G   D
I walk alone. I walk alone.

I walk alone. I walk a...


C     G           D             E5
  My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
C    G       D                E5
  My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating

  Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
C      G          A
  'Till then I'll walk alone


  Em G           D        A                Em
Ah-Ah. Ah-Ah. Ah-Ah. Ahhh
        G        D          A               Em     G       D          A
Ah-Ah. Ah-Ah. Ah-Ah. Ahhh


Em               G
I'm walking down the line
      D                        A                       Em
That divides me somewhere in my mind
                          G
On the border line of the edge
D                     A           Em    G     D       A
And where I walk alone


Em                      G
Read between the lines
D                          A                              Em
what's f*cked up and every thing's all right
                 G
Check my vital signs
             D                 A                     Em               G            D
to know I'm still alive and I walk alone


          A                     Em         G             D
I walk alone I walk alone
               A
I walk alone I walk a...


C     G           D             E5

Eagles - Hotel California


[Bm]On a dark desert highway, [F#]cool wind in my hair
[A]Warm smell of colitas, [E]rising through the air
[G]Up ahead in the distance, [D]I saw a shimering light
[Em]My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim, [F#]I had to stop for the night


[Bm]There she stood in the doorway, [F#]I heard the mission bell
[A]And I was thinking to myself: this could be [E]heaven or this could be hell
[G]Then she lit up a candle [D]and she showed me the way
[Em]There were voices down the corridor; [F#]I thought I heard them say:


"[G]Welcome to the Hotel Califor[D]nia
[F#]Such a lovely place (such a lovely place), such a [Bm]lovely face
[G]Plenty of room at the Hotel Califor[D]nia
Any [Em]time of year (any time of year), you can [F#]find it here"


[Bm]Her mind is Tiffany twisted, [F#]she got the Mercedes Benz
[A]She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, [E]that she calls friends
[G]How they dance in the courtyard, [D]sweet summer sweat
[Em]Some dance to remember, [F#]some dance to forget


[Bm]So I called up the captain, "[F#]Please bring me my wine", He said
[A]"We haven't had that spirit here since [E]nineteen sixty-nine"
[G]And still those voices are calling from [D]far away
[Em]Wake you up in the middle of the night, [F#]just to hear them say:


"[G]Welcome to the Hotel Califor[D]nia
[F#]Such a lovely place (such a lovely place), such a [Bm]lovely face
They [G]livin' it up at the Hotel Califor[D]nia
What a [Em]nice surprise (what a nice surprise), bring your [F#]alibis"


[Bm]Mirrors on the ceiling, [F#]the pink champagne on ice, and she said
"[A]We are all just prisoners here, [E]of our own device"
[G]And in the master's chambers, [D]they gathered for the feast
[Em]They stab it with their steely knives but they [F#]just can't kill the beast


[Bm]Last thing I remember, I was [F#]running for the door
[A]I had to find the passage back to the [E]place I was before
"[G]Relax," said the night man, "We are [D]programmed to receive
[Em]You can check out any time you like, but [F#]you can never leave"

Metallica - Turn The Page


Tune Guitar Down To    Eb   Ab   Db   Gb   Bb  Eb


Intro :       Em   


           Em
On a      long and lonesome highway east of Omaha
                D
You can       listen the engine moanin' out his one long one note song
                A                                                   Em
You can      think about the woman or the girl you knew the night be  fore
               Em
But your     thoughts will be wandering the way they always do
                 D
When you're    ridin' sixteen hours and there's nothin' much to do
                     A                                                       Em
And you don't       feel much like ridiný; you just wish the trip was through


CHORUS :
              D                   Em                         D                   Em
Here I    am      on the     road again      There I     am        Up on     the stage
               D                   Em                          C        D               Em
Here I    go        Playin'      star again        There I     go           Turn   The     page


               Em
 Well you    walk into a restaurant, strung out from the road
                     D
And you       feel the eyes upon you as you're shakiný off the cold
            A                                                     Em
You     pretend it doesn't bother you but you just want to explode
            Em
Most      times you can't hear them talk, other times you can
             D
All the       same old clichý's, "Is that a woman or a man?"
                 A                                                 Em
And you        always seem outnumbered; you don't dare make a stand


CHORUS :


       Em
Out there in the spotlight you're a million miles away
D
Every ounce of energy you try to give away
                  A                                                Em
As the       sweat pours out your body like the music that you play
Em
Later in the evening as you lie awake in bed
             D
With    the echoes of the amplifiers ringin' in your head
             A                                                     Em
You      smoke the day's last cigarette, rememberin' what she said


Solo :    D    Em    D    Em    D   Em   C   D    Em
              D     Em   D    Em    D   Em


CHORUS :

Whatcha wanna be when you grow up?   Whatcha    gonna do when your time is up?
G6/9         Am(add4)/G
Whatcha gonna say when things go wrong?    Whatcha     wanna do when you're on your own?


Verse 1:
          G             D/G                           C/G            G
There's a road. Long and winding;   The lights are blinding, But it gets there
                          D/G                   C/G                   G
Don't give up, don't look back.   There's a silver lining, It's out there somewhere.


C/G                       D/G        G
Everybody wants an answer,   Everybody needs a friend;
C/E           D/F#            G
We all need a shining star on which we can depend.
         Bm                Em7         C
And so tonight we're gonna wish upon a star

There'll be times in your life, yeah.   When you' be dancin' 'n' shit,  But you ain't gettin' it.
            D/G              C/G                   G
But don't get disillusioned.  No, don't expect too much.
            D/G              C/G                   G
Cuz if what you have is all you can get,  Just keep tryin' - it just ain't  happened yet.


C/G                       D/G     G
Everybody wants a winner.   Everybody has a dream.
C/E           D/F#            G
We all need a shining star, When things ain't what they seem.

And so tonight we're gonna wish upon a star

We've never wished upon before. - Gotta get where you're headed for-
