Walters Songbook

There's a A light

To live with E you

To live with D you
There's a A way

Hm Everybody says

D To do each and every little A thing

G But what does it A bring

If I ain't got E you

Ain't D got... baby
A You don't know what it's E like

Baby, D you don't know what it's A like

To love some-E-body

To love some-D-body

The way I A love you
A G D A A A
Mmm, in my A brain

Hm I see your face again

D I know my frame of A mind

G You ain't got to be so A blind

And I'm E blind

so so D so very blind
I'm a A man

Hm can't you see what I am

D I live and I breathe A for you

G But what good does it A do

If I ain't got E you

Ain't D got... baby
Chorus

A You don't know what it's E like

Baby, D you don't know what it's A like

To love some-E-body

To love some-D-body

The way I A love you
E I... love you

Imitation Of Life (R.E.M.)
Em C

G Em Am C Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
Em Charades, pop, Am skill

Water G hyacinth, D named by a Em poet.

Imi-Am-tation of G life D C

Em Like a Am koi in a G frozen pond

D Like a goldfish Em in a bowl

Am I don’t want to G hear you cry D C
That’s G sugarcane that Em tasted good

That’s Am cinnamon that’s C Holly-D-wood

The G greatest thing since D bread came sliced.

That’s Am cinnamon that’s C Holly-D-wood

That’s Am freezing rain that’s C what you D could

This Am avalanche, I’m C not a-D-fraid

Must have a D code that you can A live by

And D so become your-G-self

Because the D past is just a A good-bye.

Their father's D hell did slowly A go by,

And D feed them on your G dreams

The one they D picks, the one you'll A know by.

So just look at them and Hm sigh G A

and know they D love you.
G D A
And D you, of tender G years,

Can't know the D fears that your elders A grew by,

And so D please help them with G your youth,

They seek the D truth before they A can die.

Their children's D hell will slowly A go by,

And D feed them on your G dreams

The one they D picks, the one you'll A know by.

So just look at them and Hm sigh G A

and know they D love you. G D A

City of New Orleans (Arlo Guthrie)
G G
G Riding on the D City of New G Orleans

Em Illinois Central C Monday morning G rail

G Fifteen cars and D fifteen restless G riders

Three con-Em-ductors and D twenty-five sacks of G mail.

All a-Em-long the south bound odyssey, the Hm train pulls out of Kankakee

D Rolls along past houses farms and A fields

Em Passing trains that have no name, Hm freight yards of old black men

And D graveyards of D7 rusted automo-G-biles.

Say, Em don't you know me, C I'm your native G son.

I'll be B gone five C hundred D miles when the D9 day is G done.

And the Em sons of Pullman porters and the Hm sons of engineers

Ride their D father's magic carpets made of A steel

Em Mother with her babes asleep Hm rocking to the gentle beat

And the D rhythm of the D7 rails is all they G feel.

Say, Em don't you know me, C I'm your native G son.

I'll be B gone five C hundred D miles when the D9 day is G done.

through the Em Mississippi darkness D rolling down to the G sea.

But Em all the towns and people seem to Hm fade into a dark dream

And the D steel rail still ain't heard the A news

The con-Em-ductor sings his songs again, the Hm passengers will please refrain

This D train got the disap-D7-pearing railroad G blues.

Say, Em don't you know me, C I'm your native G son.

I'll be B gone five C hundred D miles when the D9 day is G done.

And I say C yes, you look D wonderful to-G-night

And I say C yes, I feel D wonderful to-G-night

Be-D-cause I see the G love light Hm in your Em eyes

And the C wonder of it D all

Is that you C just don't rea-D-lize

How much I G love you
D C D

G D C D
G It's time to go D home now

C And I've got an aching D head

G So I give her the D car keys

C She helps me to D bed

C And then I D tell her

G As I Hm turn out the Em light

I say my C darling, you were D wonderful to-G-night Hm Em Em

Oh my C darling, you were D wonderful to-G-night

Wish You Were Here (Pink Floyd)
Em G Em G Em A7 Em A7 G Em G Em G Em A7 Em A7 G

C So, so you think you can D tell heaven from Am hell,

blue skies from G pain.

Can you tell a green D field from a cold steel C rail?

A smile from a Am veil?

Do you think you can G tell?

And did they get you to C trade your heroes for D ghosts?

Hot ashes for Am trees?

Hot air for a G cool breeze? Cold comfort for D change?

And did you ex-C-change a walk on part in the Am war

for a lead role in a G cage?

We're just Am two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl,

The same old Am fears.

Wish you were G here.
