It really meant a lot to be in someone else’s thoughts someone else’s mind someone else as kind as you. The thoughtfulness you showed has made a difference in my life. I won’t forget how unafraid you were that long dark night. I thought that all was lost I thought I’d never find a someone quite as kind as you. I thougt my faith had gone I thought there couldn’t be a someone who was there for me. Inter 1:[ / /] x3 [Esus4 ] How kind of you to stick by me during the final bout. And listen to the referee as I was counted out I thought my time was up I thought I’d never find a someone as kind as you. I thought my faith had gone… How kind of you to think of me. How kind of you. Inter 2:[ / /] x3 [] How kind of you to think of me. How kind of you. end:[ ] x3 [] END _________________________________________________________________________ Jenny Wren *I know this is wrong I’ve seen him in concert and he uses an alternate tuning this as close as I could get. Intro doen’t have a capo on the guitar. It is pretty much like bird you use finger picking for the chords before the F#m pick the E string. Capo 1 Intro: B--2--0----------------------------------------------------------------| G---------2h4--4----------2h4-2/1--0---0-2-2h3-------------------------| ----------------------------------------------------------------------| ----------------------------------------------------------------------| (Play the intro over the verse - it’s the same until "took her song away") Like so many girls Jenny Wren could sing But a broken heart took her song away Like the other girls Jenny Wren took wing She could see the world and it’s foolish ways / Ddim How we spend our days casting love a side Losing sight of life day by day She saw poverty breaking all the home Wounded warriors took her song away [Solo] x3 (3rd time hold ) / Ddim / Ddim But the day will come Jenny Wren will sing When this broken world mends its foolish ways Now we spend our days catching up on life All because of you Jenny Wren You saw who we are Jenny Wren x3 Outro: Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do__________(fade with do and Am and hold) ___________________________________________________________________ At the Mercy D5dim At the mercy at the mercy At the mercy of a busy road Who can handle such a heavy load? / dim At the mercy At the mercy At the mercy of a busy day We can think of nothing more to say Bdim If you show me love I won’t refuse I know you’d never make me choose Bm Bdim Between the love I’ve got and the love I’d lose sometimes Bm Bdim Bm I’d rather run and hide Then stay and face the fear inside D5dim At the mercy at the mercy At the mercy of a busy day Who can bear to turn their head away? / dim At the mercy at the mercy At the mercy of a busy road We can watch the universe explode (------) x2 Bdim If you take me up I won’t say no I guess you’d rather see me grow Bdim Into a better man than the one you know Sometimes Bm Bdim Bm my head is hanging low It’s time to get on with the show D5dim At the mercy at the mercy At the mercy of a busy day I can think of nothing more to say END __________________________________________________________________________ Friends to Go (My favorite like Paul said it sounded like George song) I’ve been waitin on the other side for your friends to leave so I don’t have to hide I prefer they didnt know. So I’ve been waiting on the other side for your friends to go. (same chords) I’ve been sliding down a slippery slope I’ve been climbing up a slowly burning rope but the flame is getting low. I’ve been waitin’ on the other side for your friends to go. [] Chorus You never need to worry about me I’ll be fine on my own. Someone else can worry about me I’ve spent alot of time on my own. I’ve spent alot of time on my own. (chords same as verse 1) I’ve been waitin till the danger past I don’t know how long the storm is gonna to last if we’re gonna carry on. I’ll been waiting on the other side till your friends are gone. So tell me what I wanna know. E I’ll be waiting on the other side for your friends to go. [solo] (chords as chorus but don’t play someone else can....) Someone else can worry about me I’ve spent alot of time on my own. I’ve spent alot of time on my own. I’ve been waitin on the other side for your friends to leave so I don’t have to hide I prefer they didnt know. So I’ve been waiting on the other side for your friends to go. I’ve been waiting on the other side. I’ve been waiting on the other side. E I’ve been waiting on the other side for your friends to go.

Verse II G Em7 Bm (You) know the wheels keep turning Why do the tears run down your face We use to hide away our feelings But for now tell yourself it won’t happen again Chorus D D7 G It’s not right In one life Too much rain Bridge C Am It’s too much for anyone Too hard for anyone Who wants a happy and peaceful life You’ve got to learn to laugh Solo Smile when your spinning round and round Sigh as you think about tomarrow Make a vow that you’re going to be happy again Chorus D D7 G It’s all right In your life No more rain Outtro C Am It’s too much for anyone Too hard for anyone Who wants a happy and peaceful life You’ve got to learn to laugh END ______________________________________________________________________ A Certain Softness A certain softness in her eyes fascinates me more than I ever thought it would (a certain softness) more than I ever thought it could A certain softness in her eyes got me hooked got me hooked A kind of sadness in her smile captivates me surer than anything that’s sure (a kind of sadness) surer than anything before A kind of sadness in her smile got me hooked got me hooked hot me hooked If I could even find the words to tell her I wouldn’t want to anyway ’cause that could only break the spell and you know very well I couldn’t betray her A touch of wildness in her style haunts my memory more than I ever thought it would (a touch of wildness) more than I ever thought it could A touch of wildness in her style got me hooked got me hooked got me hooked A certain softness in her eyes fascinates me more than I ever thought it would (a certain softness) more than I ever thought it could A certain softness in her eyes got me hooked got me hooked END ____________________________________________________________________________ Riding to Vanity Fair I bit my tongue I never talk too much I try to be so strong. I did my best I used a gentle touch I’ve done it for so long. You put me down But I can laugh it off And act like nothing’s wrong Why pretend? I think I’ve heard enough Of your familiar song. I’ll tell you what I’m gonna do I’ll try to take my mind off you. Now that you don’t need my help I’ve used the time to think about myself. You’re not aware Of what you put me through But now the feeling’s gone But I don’t mind Do what you have to do You don’t fool anyone. I’ll tell you what I’m gonna do I’ll take a different point of you. Now that you don’t need my help I’ve used the time to think about myself. The definition of friendship Apparently you’re to be sure to support the one that you love and I was open to friendship But you didn’t seem to have to spare While you were riding to Vanity Fair. There was a time When everyday was young The sun would always shine. We sang along When all the songs we sung Believing every line. Solo: (Em C) x2 That’s the trouble with friendship Someone to feed it it has to be real Or it wouldn’t be right And I keep hoping for friendship But I wouldn’t dare to presume it was there While you were riding to Vanity Fair. End ____________________________________________________________________________ Follow Me (a great song!! I did this song at my 1st open mic and eveybody loved it) You lift up my spirits you shine on my soul whenever I’m empty you make me feel whole. I can rely on you to guide me through any situation. You hold up a sign that reads follow me. You give me direction you show me the way you give me a reason to face every day. I can depend on you to send me to any destination. You hold up a sign that reads follow me follow me. Down the track of lonelines down the path of love. Dadd4 D D Through the words of heartache to the end. On the shores of sorrow where the waves of hope crash in. The perfect place for me to find a friend. You lead to places that I’ve never been uncovering secrets that I’ve never seen. I can rely on you to guide me through any situation. You hold up a sign that reads follow me follow me. Follow me follow me follow me follow me follow me follow me. End _______________________________________________________________________ Promise to You Girl Part 1-strum slowley Looking through the backyard of my life time to sweep the fallen leaves away. Part 2 Like the sun that rises every day we can chase the dark clouds from the sky. Part 3 I gave my promise to you girl I don’t wanna take it back. You and me side by side we know how to change the world. That is why I gave my promise to you girl. Repeat part 1 Repeat part 2 Repeat part 3 Repeat part 1 (faster strum all strings) END (I like parts one and three but the rest is okay) ___________________________________________________________________________ This Never Happened Before (I dont really know the chords I never actually heard the song all the way I gave it my best shot!) Intro: musings in G I’m very sure this never happened to me before I met you and now I’m sure this never happened before Now I see this is the way it’s supposed to be | I met you and now I see this is the way it should be This is the way it should be for lovers They shouldn’t go it alone beats) It’s not so good when you’re on your own So come to me now we can be what we want to be I love you and now I see this is the way it should be this is the way it should be This is the way it should be for lovers They shouldn’t go it alone beats) It’s not so good when you’re on your own I’m very sure this never happened to me before I met you and now I’m sure this never happened before this never happened before ...(repeat)... End _______________________________________________________________________ Anyway Intro: ( ) x2 If you love me won’t you call me? I’ve been waiting; waiting too long.
