A Boy Named Sue (Johnny Cash)
Written by Shel Silverstein
Chords Used: A-D-E
Capo 2
[A]My daddy left home when I was three
And he didn't [D]leave much to ma and me
Just [E]this old guitar and an empty bottle of [A]booze.
[A]Now, I don't blame him cause he run and hid
But the [D]meanest thing that he ever did
Was [E]before he left, he went and named me [A]"Sue."
[A]Well, I grew up quick and I grew up mean,
My [D]fist got hard and my wits got keen,
I'd [E]roam from town to town to hide my [A]shame.
[A]But I made a vow to the moon and stars
That I'd [D]search the honky-tonks and bars
And [E]kill that man who gave me that awful [A]name.
[A]Well, it was Gatlinburg in mid-July
And I [D]just hit town and my throat was dry,
I [E]thought I'd stop and have myself a [A]brew.
[A]At an old saloon on a street of mud,
[D]There at a table, dealing stud,
Sat the [E[dirty, mangy dog that named me [A]"Sue."
[A]Well, I knew that snake was my own sweet dad
From a [D]worn-out picture that my mother'd had,
And I[E] knew that scar on his cheek and his evil [A]eye.
[A]He was big and bent and gray and old,
And I [D]looked at him and my blood ran cold
And I [E]said: "My name is 'Sue!' How do you do!
Now you gonna [A]die!!"
[A]Well, I hit him hard right between the eyes
And he [D]went down, but to my surprise,
He [E]come up with a knife and cut off a piece of my [A]ear.
[A]But I busted a chair right across his teeth
And we [D]crashed through the wall and into the street
[E]Kicking and a' gouging in the mud and the blood and the [A]beer.
[A]I tell ya, I've fought tougher men
But I [D]really can't remember when,
He [E]kicked like a mule and he bit like a [A]crocodile.
[A]I heard him laugh and then I heard him cuss,
He [D]went for his gun and I pulled mine first,
He [E]stood there lookin' at me and I saw him [A]smile.
[A]And he said: "Son, this world is rough
And if a man's gonna make it, he's gotta be [D]tough
And I knew I wouldn't be [E]there to help ya [A]along.
[A]So I give ya that name and I said goodbye
I [D]knew you'd have to get tough or die
And [E]it's the name that helped to make you [A]strong."
[A]He said: "Now you just fought one hell of a fight
And I [D]know you hate me, and you got the right
To [E]kill me now, and I wouldn't blame you if you [A]do.
[A]But ya ought to thank me, before I die,
For the [D]gravel in ya guts and the spit in ya eye
Cause [E]I'm the son-of-a-bitch that named you [A]"Sue.'"
[A]I got all choked up and I threw down my gun
And I [D]called him my pa, and he called me his son,
And I [E]came away with a different point of [A]view.
[A]And I think about him, now and then,
Every [D]time I try and every time I win,
And if I ever have a son, I think I'm gonna name him…
Bill or George! Anything but Sue! [A]I still hate that name!

When you [Bm]found something so good,
It's drawing [G]trouble on your [F#m]life

But there's [C]nothin' that's as real as the [F]love that's in my [C]mind.
[G7]Close your eyes I'll be here in the [F]mornin'

There's [C]lots of things along the road I'd [F]surely like to [C]see
I'd like to lean into the wind and [G7]tell myself I'm free
But your [C]softest whispers louder than the [F]highway's call to [C]me
[G7]Close your eyes I'll be here in the [F]mornin'
[G7]Close your eyes I'll [F]be here for [Am]awhile. [G7]
All the [C]mountains and the rivers and the [F]valleys can't com[C]pare

[C]There's no stronger wind than the one that blows down [F]lonesome railroad [C]lines
No prettier sight than lookin' back at a [G7]town you left behind
But there's [C]nothin' that's as real as the [F]love that's in my [C]mind.

There's [C]lots of things along the road I'd [F]surely like to [C]see
I'd like to lean into the wind and [G7]tell myself I'm free
But your [C]softest whispers louder than the [F]highway's call to [C]me
[G7]Close your eyes I'll be here in the [F]mornin'
[G7]Close your eyes I'll [F]be here for [Am]awhile. [G7]
All the [C]mountains and the rivers and the [F]valleys can't com[C]pare
To your bluely dancin' eyes and [G7]yellow shinin' hair
I could [C]never hit the open road and [F]leave you lyin' [C]there
[G7]Close your eyes I'll be here in the [F]mornin'

Weapons of [D7] war
Symptoms of [G] madness [D] [D7]
[G] Don't let your [Bm] eyes refuse to see
[Em] Don't let your [C] ears refuse to hear

this sense of [G] sadness [D] [D7]

Don't ask me what this song has to do with washing strawberries... I guess love is still a mystery to me.
[G] [Bm] [Em] [D] [C] x2
[G] When you [Bm] came to me
[Em] with your bad dreams and your [C] fears
It was easy to [D7] see
you'd been [G] crying [D] [D7]
[G] Seems like [Bm] everywhere you turn
[Em] catastrophe it [C] reigns
But who really [D7] profits from
the [G] dying [D] [D7]
Chorus:
[Em] I could [G] hold you in my [C] arms [F] [C]
[D] I could [D7] hold you [G] fore[D]ver [D7]

[D] I could [D7] hold you [G] fore[D] ver [D7]
[G] [Bm] [Em] [D] [C] x2
[G] When you [Bm] kissed my lips
[Em] with my mouth so full of [C] questions
My worried [D7] mind that you[G] quiet [D] [D7]
[G] Place your [Bm] hands on my face
[Em] Close my [C] eyes and say
That love is a [D7] poor man's food,
Don't [G] prophesize [D] [D7]
Chorus:
[Em] I could [G] hold you in my [C] arms [F] [C]
[D] I could [D7] hold you [G] fore[D]ver [D7]
[G] I could [Bm] hold you in my [Em] arms [F] [C]

These Streets (Paolo Nutini)
Chords Used: D-F#m-G-A-Bm7
F#m: 2-4-4-2-2-2
Bm7: 2-2-4-4-3-2
[D] [F#m] [G] [A]
[D] Cross the [F#m] border, [G] into the [A] big bad world
Where it [D] takes you about an hour just to [F#m] cross the road,
Just to [G] stumble across another [A] poor old soul,
From the [D] dreary old lanes to the [F#m] High St madness,
I [G] fight with my brain to [A] believe my eyes
And it's [D] harder than you think to [F#m] believe this sadness,
It [G] creeps up my spine and haunts me [A] through the night
Life is [Bm7] good, and the girls are gorgeous,
[G] Suddenly the air smells much greener now
And I'm [Bm7] wandering around with a half pack of cigarettes
[A] Searching for the change I've lost somehow
These [D] Streets, have too many [F#m] names for me
I'm [G] used to Glenfield Road and spending [A] my time down in Or[D]chy
I'll get used to this [F#m] eventually I [G] know, I [A] know
[D] Where'd the [F#m] days go [G] when all we [A] did was lay
And the [D] stress that we were under wasn't [F#m] stress at all,
Just a [G] run and a jump into a [A] harmless fall
From [D] walking by a high-rise to a [F#m] landmark square,
You see [G] millions of people with [A] millions of cares
And I [D] struggle to the train to make [F#m] my way home
I [G] look at the people as they [A] sit there alone
Life is [Bm7] good and the sun is shining,
[G] Everybody floods to their ideal place
And the [Bm7] children all smile as the boats shuffle by them,
[A] Trying to pretend that they've got some space.

[C]This is the [E]first day of my [Am]life
[F]I swear I was [G]born right in the [C]doorway
[C]I went out in the [E]rain suddenly everything [Am]changed
They're spreading [D7]blankets on the [G]beach [G7]
[C]Yours is the [E]first face that I [Am]saw
[F] think I was [G]blind before I [C]met you
[C]Now I don’t know where I [E]am
I don’t know where I’ve [Am]been
But I know [D7]where I want to [G]go [G7]
So I [C]thought I’d [G]let you [Am]know
That [F]these things take for[G]ever
I e[C]special[C/B]ly am [Am]slow
But I [Dmsus2]realize that I need you
And I wondered if I could come [C]home [G] [Am]
[Dmsus2] [Fmsus2] [Fmsus2]
[C]Remember the [E]time you drove all [Am]night
[F]Just to [G]meet me in the [C]morning
[C] I thought it was [E]strange you said everything [Am]changed
You felt as [D7]if you'd just woke [G]up [G7]
And you said[C]“This is the [E]first day of my [Am]life
[F]I’m glad I didn’t [G]die before I [C]met you
[C]Now I don’t [E]care I could go any[Am]where with you
And I’d [D7]probably be hap[G]py” [G7]
So if you [C]want to [G]be with [Am]me
With [F]these things there’s no [G]telling
We just [C]have to [C/B]wait and [Am]see
But I’d rather be [Dmsus2]working for a paycheck
Than waiting to win the lotte[C]ry [E] [Am]
Besides may[Dmsus2]be this time is different
I mean I really think you like [C]me [E] [Am]
