Somewhere james ingram-

\\A E7 D9 A Amaj7 C#m7-5 D F#7

Somewhere out there, beneath the pale moonlight,

Bm7 E7 A F#m D F#m7 Bm7 Bm7-5 E7

Someone's thinking of me and lov - ing me to - night.

A E7 D9 A Amaj7 C#m7-5 D F#7

Somewhere out there, someone's saying a prayer

Bm7 E7 A F#m D F#m7 Bm7 E7 A

That we'll find one an - oth - er in that big somewhere out there.

D E7 D9 E7

And even though I know how very far apart we are,

D E7 D9 E7

It helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star.

F G7 F G

And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullabye,

F G7 Bm7-5 E7

It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky.

A E7 D9 A Amaj7 C#m7-5 D F#7

Somewhere out there, if love can see us through,

Bm7 E7 A F#m D

Then we'll be to - geth - er somewhere out there,

E7 A

Out where dreams come true.

Isreal played this song on a Ukulele, so by putting the capo on the 5th fret it ups the pitch

of the guitar making it sound more like a Ukulele, the strumming is like Down Down Up Up Down.

_ NEW YORK STATE OF MIND

Words & Music by Billy Joel

[C] Some folks like to [E7#9]get away

Take a [Am7]holiday from the [Gm7]neighbourhood [C7]

[F] Hop a flight to Mi[A7]ami Beach Or to [Dm7]Hollywood. [Bb9]

[C] But I'm [E7#9] takin' a [Am7]Greyhound [Cmaj7]

On the [F]Hudson [C]River line[D7]

[Fmaj7]I'm in a [G9sus]New York state of [Am7]mind [D7] [Am] [G] [G9sus]

I've seen all the movie stars In their fancy cars and their limousines Been high in the Rockies under the evergreens.

But I know what I'm needin' And I don't want to waste more time I'm in a New York state of [Am7]mind [G] [E7#9]

[Am7] It was so [D7]easy livin' [Gmaj7] day by day

[Gm7] Out of touch [C9] with the rhythm and [Fmaj7]blues

[Bm7] And now I [E7]need a little [Amaj7] give and take

The [Am7]New York [D7]Times

The [Bmaj7]Daily News [F#m7] [B7sus4] [B7]

Comes down to reality

And it's fine with me, 'cause I let it slide

don't care if it's Chinatown or on Riverside

I don't have any reasons

I've left them all behind

I'm in a New York state of mind [C]

Title: THE BOXER (Simon C Am G

G7 G6 C - Am G F

I am just a poor boy though my story's seldom told

I have squandered my resistance

For a pocket full of mumbles, such are promises

All lies and jest, still a man hears what he wants to hear

C G G7 G6 C

And disregards the rest

When I left my home and my family, I was no more than a boy

In the company of strangers

In the quiet of a railway station, running scared

Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters

Where the ragged people go

G G7 G6 C

Looking for the places only they would know

Am G Am G F C Lie la lie Lie la lie Lie la lie Lie la lie Lie la lie

C Am G

Asking only workman's wages I come looking for a job But I get no offers

G7 G6 C

Just a come-on from the whores on Seventh Avenue

Am G F

I do declare, there were times when I was so lonesome

I took some comfort there

G G7 G6 C

Lie lie lie lie la

Then I'm laying out my winter clothes and wishing I was gone

Going home where the New York City winters aren't bleeding me Leading me, going home.

In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his trade

And he carries a reminder ov ev'ry glove that laid him down

Or cut him till he cried out in his anger and his shame

I am leaving, I am leaving But the fighter still remains

Lie la lie ... etc.

When we're out to - geth - er dancing, cheek to cheek.

Heaven, I'm in Heaven, And the cares that hang around me through the week

Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak When we're out to - geth - er dancing, cheek to cheek.

Oh! I love to climb a mountain, and to reach the highest peak G9 A7 D B7 G9 A7 D

Memories- Cats

Midnight, not a sound on the pavementHas the moon lost a memory? She is smiling alone

In the lamplight the withered leaves collect at my feet And the wind begins to moan

Memory, all alone in the moonlightI can smile at the old days

I was beautiful then I remember the time I knew what happiness wasLet the memory live again

\F#m Every street lamp seems to beat

A D AA fainter listening warning

F#m E Someone mutters and a street lamp flutters

A B E

And soon it will be morning

Daylight, I must wait for the sunrise must think of a new life

And I mustn't give in

When the dawn comes tonight will be a memory too

And a new day will begin

Dm Burnt out ends of smokey days

F A# F The stale cold smell of morning

Dm C A street lamp dies another night is over

F G C Another day is dawning

F DTouch me, it's so easy to leave me

A# All alone with the memory

AOf my days in the sun

C A# Dm

If you touch me you'll understand what happiness is

C F Look, a new day has begun

Think of me –

This is the Original version, not the one from the movie, not the one from broad way.

There is a variation in lyrics.

D A G A7

Think of me, think of me fondly when we've said good-bye

D A G A7

Remember me every so often, promise me you'll try

Bm F#7 Bm7 E7

On that day, that not so distant day, when you are far away and free,

D Bm7 Em F#7 G A D

If you ever find a moment, spare a thought for me.

Cm G7 Cm7

And though it's clear, though it was always clear, that this was never ment

F to be

Eb Cm7 Fm Gm Ab Bb Eb

If you happen to remember stop and think of me.

Ab Bb C#

Think of August when the trees were green

Eb Cm7 Fm Bb7

Don't think about the way things might have been

Eb Bb Ab Bb7

Think of me, think of me waking silent and resigned

Eb Bb Ab Bm7

Imagine me trying too hard to put you from my mind

Cm G7 Cm7 F7

Think of me, please say you'll think of me whatever else you choose to do

Eb Cm7 Fm Gm Ab Bb7 Eb

There will never be a day when I won't think of you

Flowers fade, the fruits of summer fade. They have their seasons so do we

But please promise me that sometimes you will think

Ab Bb7 Eb

Ah..............etc Of Me!

This one is more complicated than the ones I usually do, but you may simplify it if that

is your preference.

Dion - Runaround Sue tabbed by Totto Strand

D Bm G a

Here?s my story, it?s sad but true It?s about a girl that I once knew

She took my love, then ran around With every single guy in town

D Hey, hey, um-da-da-da-di-di Bm Hey, hey, um-da-da-da-di-di G Hey, hey, um-da-da-da-di-di A Hey, hey, oooooooooohhhhh

D I guess I should have known it from the very start Bm This girl would leave me with a broken heart

G Now listen people what I'm telling you A "I keep away from Runaround Sue"

Her amazing lips and the smile from her face The touch of her hand and this girl?s warm embrace

So if you don't want to cry like I do Keep away from Runaround Sue.

G She like to travel around D She?ll love you, then she?ll put you down G Now, people let me put you wise A She goes out with other guys

And the moral of the story from the guy who knows I?ve been in love and my love still grows Ask any fool that she ever knew they'll say: Keep away from Runaround Sue

___________

MY WAY

D F#- F#7 B7

And now, the end is near, And so I face the final curtain,

E E7- A7 D

My friend. I'll say it clear,

I'll stay my case of which I'm certain.

D D7- G G- D A7 E D

I've lived a live that's full.

I travelled each and every highway,

And more, much more than this, I did it my way.

Regrets, I've had a few, But then again, too few to mention.

I did what I had to do,And saw it thru without exemption.

I planned each chattered course,Each careful step along the byway,And more, much more than this, I did it my way.

Yes there were times, I'm sure you knew, When I bit off more than I could chew,

E7 A7 - F7 B- E7 A7 - D

But thru it all, when there was doubt, I ate it up, and spit it out.I faced it all, and I stood tall,And did it my way.

Intro:

Gtr. 1 (lead) B string-----33--2--3--0-------

Gtr. 2 (rhythm) D Em A (let ring out)

D Em Start spreading the news, I'm leaving today D Em A I want to be a part of it - New York, New York D Em These vagabond shoes, are longing to stray

D D7 Right through the very heart of it - New York, New York

G Gm D\ I want to wake up in a city, that doesn't sleep

F#m B7 Em A

And find I'm king of the hill - top of the heap

D Em These little town blues, are melting away

D D7 I'm gonna make a brand new start of it - in old New York

G Gm D B7

If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere

Em A Em A D

It's up to you - New York, New York
