[Am] [Em] [C] [G] [D]
It was [Am]just a little while past the [Em]sunset strip
They [C]found the girl’s [G]body in an [D]open pit
Her [Am]mouth was sewn shut, but her [Em]eyes were still wide
[C]Gazing through the [G]fog to the [D]other side
They [Am]booked me on a whim and threw me [Em]deep in jail
With no [C]bail, sitting [G]silent on a [D]rusty pail
Just [Am]gazing at the marks on the [Em]opposite wall
[C]Remembering the [G]music of my [D]lover’s call
[Am] [Em] [C] [G] [D]
So you [Am]make no mistake I know just [Em]what it takes
To [C]pull a man’s soul [G]back from [D]heaven’s gates
I’ve been [Am]wandering in the dark about as [Em]long as sin
But they [C]say it’s never [G]too late to [D]start again
Oh [Am]when, oh [Em]when
Will the [C]spirit come a [G]calling for my [D]soul to send?
Oh [Am]when, oh [Em]when
Will the [C]keys to the [G]kingdom be [D]mine again?
[Am] [Em] [C] [G] [D] [twice]
It was [Am]dark as the grave, it was [Em]just about three
When the [C]warden with his [G]key came to [D]set me free
They [Am]gave me five dollars and a [Em]secondhand suit
A [C]pistol and a [G]hat and a [D]worn out flute
So I [Am]took a bus down to the [Em]Rio Grande
And I [C]shot a man [G]down on the [D]edge of town
Then I [Am]stole me a horse and I [Em]rode it around
Til the [C]sheriff pulled me [G]in and he [D]sat me down
He said, [Am]you make no mistake I know just [Em]what it takes
To [C]pull a man’s soul [G]back from [D]heaven’s gates
I’ve been [Am]wandering in the dark about as [Em]long as sin
But [C]they say it’s [G]never too late to [D]start again
Oh [Am]when, oh [Em]when
Will the [C]spirit come a [G]calling for my [D]soul to send?
Oh [Am]when, oh [Em]when
Will the [C]keys to the [G]kingdom be [D]mine again?
[Am] [Em] [C] [G] [D] [twice]
Well the [Am]sheriff let me go with a [Em]knife and a song
So I [C]took the first [G]train up to [D]Oregon
And I [Am]killed the first man that I [Em]came upon
Because the [C]devil works [G]quick, you know it [D]don’t take long
Then I [Am]went to the river ford to [Em]take a swim
You [C]know that black [G]river water is as [D]black as sin
And I [Am]washed myself clean as a [Em]newborn babe
And then I [C]picked up a [G]rock for to [D]sharpen my blade
Oh [Am]when, oh [Em]when
Will the [C]spirit come a [G]calling for my [D]soul to send?
Oh [Am]when, oh [Em]when
Will the [C]keys to the [G]kingdom be [D]mine again?
Oh [Am]when, oh [Em]when
Will that [C]Black River [G]water wash me [D]clean again
Oh [Am]when, oh [Em]when
Will the [C]keys to the [G]kingdom be [D]mine again?
[Am] [Em] [C] [G] [D] [4x and fade]

Wish You Were Here (Pink Floyd)
Chords used: C-D-Am-G-Em-A

The same old [Am]fears. Wish you were [G]here!

Waiting Round To Die (Townes Van Zandt)
Submitted by Minh
The lyrics on the second to last verse are a little different, and I think the 4th capo sounds right for this version. Unfortunately my ears may be big, but they don't have perfect pitch, so I could be wrong.
Chords used: Am-Dm-E
Capo 4th Fret
[Am]Well sometimes I don't know where this dirty [Dm]road is taking me
Some[Am]times I can't even see the reason [E]why
I [Am]guess I keep on gamblin', lots of [Dm]booze and lots of ramblin'
It's [Am]easier than just a-[E]waitin' 'round to [Am]die
[Am]One-time friends I had a ma, I [Dm]even had a pa
He [Am]beat her with a belt once cause she [E]cried
She [Am]told him to take care of me, she headed [Dm]down to Tennessee
It's [Am]easier than just a-[E]waitin' 'round to [Am]die
[Am]I came of age and found a girl in a [Dm]Tuscaloosa bar
She [Am]cleaned me out and hit it on the [E]sly
I [Am]tried to kill the pain, I bought some [Dm]booze and hopped a train
Seemed [Am]easier than just a-[E]waitin' 'round to [Am]die
[Am]A friend said he knew where some [Dm]easy money was
We [Am]robbed a man and brother did we [E]fly
The [Am]posse caught up with me, drug me [Dm]back to Muskogee
It's [Am]two long years, just a-[E]waitin' 'round to [Am]die
[Am]Now I'm out of prison, I got [Dm]me a friend at last
He [Am]don't drink or steal or cheat or [E]lie
His [Am]name's codine, he's the [Dm]nicest thing I've seen
To[Am]gether we're gonna [E]wait around to [Am]die
[Am]Well together we’re gonna [E]wait around… [Am]

Midnight Special (Creedence Clearwater Revival)
suggested by Trenton
Chords Used: G-D-A7
Source: Tab
(Initially, single, slow strums of each chord)
[D]Well, you wake up in the mornin'[G]
You hear the work bell ring [D]
And they march you to the table [A7]
You see the same old thing [D]
Ain't no food upon the table [G]
And no fork up in the pan [D]
But you'd better not complain, boy [A7]
You'll get in trouble with the man [D]
(now speed up tempo and strum continuously; all subsequent verses have
same pattern as chorus)
CHORUS:
Let the midnight [G]special
Shine the light on [D]me
Let the midnight [A7]special
Shine the light on [D]me
Let the midnight [G]special
Shine the light on [D]me
Let the midnight [A7]special
Shine the ever-lovin' light on [D]me
Verse 2:
Yonder come Miss [G]Rosie
How in the world did you [D]know
By the way she wears her [A7]apron
And the clothes she [D]wore
Umbrella on her [G]shoulder
Piece of paper in her [D]hand
She come to see the [A7]gov'nor
She wanna free her [D]man
[CHORUS]
Verse 3:
If you're ever in [G]Houston
Ooh, you'd better do [D]right
You'd better not [A7]gamble
And you'd better not [D]fight
Or the sheriff will [G]grab ya
And the boys'll bring you [D]down
The next thing you [A7]know, boy
