THE WAYWARD WIND
  E
In a lonely shack by the railroad track, I spent my younger days
                                                   B7                    E
and I guess sound of the outward bound, made me a slave to my wandering ways
         E                          A                 E                  B7
And the wayward wind is a restless wind, a restless wind that yearns to wander
           E E7            A             E B7                E
and I was born the next of kin, the next kin to the wayward wind

     G        E          G       E
Oo oooo,  oo, oooo,  Oo oooo, oo oooo

I met her down in a border town we vowed we would never part
but though I did my best to settle down, now she’s alone with a broken heart
And the wayward wind is a restless wind, a restless wind that yearns to wander
And I was born the next of kin, the next of kin to the wayward wind.



 BLUE EYES CRYING IN THE RAIN

E                               B7                       E
In the twilight glow I see her, blue eyes crying in the rain
E                                     B7                    E
when we kissed goodbye and parted, I knew we’d never meet again

tacit
A                                                E                     B7
Love is like a dying ember, and only memories remain
 E                              B7                      E
through the ages I’ll remember blue eyes crying in the rain



Someday, when we meet again up yonder we’ll hand stroll hand in hand again
in a land that knows no parting, blue eyes crying in the rain



THAT OLD TIME ROCK N’ ROLL    
 E                                                                        A
Just take those old records off of the shelf, I’ll sit and listen to them by myself
                     B7                                       E
Today’s music ain’t got the same soul,  I like that old time rock n’ roll

Don’t try to take me to no disco, you’ll never even get me out on the floor
In ten minutes I’ll be late for the door, I like that old time rock n’ roll

I like that old time rock n’ roll, that kind of music just soothes my soul,
I reminisce about the days of old, with that old time rock n’ roll

Don’t take me to no Tango, I’d rather listen to some blues or funky old soul,
There’s just one sure way to get me to go, start playing some old rock n’ roll

Call me a rebel, call me what you will, say I’m old fashioned, say I’m over the hill 
Today’s music ain’t got the same soul, I like that old time rock n’ roll

I like that old time rock n’ roll, that kind of music just soothes my soul,
I reminisce about the days of old, with that old time rock n’ roll.
