RAFFI – BABY BELUGA
C
Baby Beluga in the deep blue sea,
G
Swim so wild and you swim so free.
G7
Heaven above, and the sea below,
C
And a little white whale on the go.

F C D
Baby beluga, baby Beluga, is the water warm?
G7
Is your mama home with you, so happy.

Way down yonder where the dolphins play,

Where they dive and splash all day,
The waves roll in and the waves roll out,
See the water squirting out of your spout.

Baby beluga, baby Beluga, sing your little song,

Sing for all your friends, we like to hear you.

When it's dark, you're home and fed,

Curl up snug in your water bed.
Moon is shining and the stars are out,
Good night, little whale, goodnight.

Baby beluga, baby Beluga, with tomorrow's sun,

Another day's begun, you'll soon be waking.

Baby Beluga in the deep blue sea,

Swim so wild and you swim so free.
Heaven above and the sea below,
And a little white whale on the go.
You're just a little white whale on the go.

Rock a Bye Baby

C G7
Rock a bye baby, on the tree top.
G7 C
When the wind blows the cradle will rock.
C G7
When the bough breaks the cradle will fall,
C G7 C
And down will come baby, cradle and all. Baby is drowsing

Cosy and fair

Mother sits near
In her rocking chair
Forward and back
The cradle she swings
And though baby sleeps
He hears what she sings

Rock a bye baby

Do not you fear
Nevermind baby
Mommy is here
From the high rooftops
Down to the sea
No one's as dear
As baby to me
Wee little fingers
Eyes are shut tight
Now sound asleep
Until morning light

Roly Poly
This song is to the tune of “Frere Jacques” or “Are You Sleeping” and does not
require guitar. It’s all about practicing the “roly poly” action with opposites added
in.

On the “roly poly” parts do the “wheels on the bus” action with your arms.
Verse 1: bring arms up incrementally on each “up” then down on each “down”
Verse 2: take your arms apart gradually getting bigger, and then smaller.
Verse 3: slap the floor fast, then slow

Roly poly, roly poly,

Up, up, up
Up, up, up
Roly, roly, poly,
Roly, roly, poly,
Down, down, down
Down, down, down

Roly poly, roly poly,

Big, big, big
Big, big, big
Roly, roly, poly,
Roly, roly, poly,
Small, small, small
Small, small, small

Roly poly, roly poly,

Fast, fast, fast
Fast, fast, fast
Roly, roly, poly,
Roly, roly, poly,
Slow, slow, slow
Slow, slow, slow

You can add variations to this song by adding in more opposites.

down on the floor. Sing the first part lying down.

D A E A
Come and let us gently wake them with a merry tune

yet if they have a grown up with them. The grown up can rock the infant on their
lap for the first part, then on the wake up part sit the infant their lap and give them
playful bounces during the hopping part.

Now that she's back in the atmosphere

With drops of Jupiter in her hair, hey, hey

Reminds me that there's time to change, hey, hey

Since the return from her stay on the moon

She listens like spring and she talks like June, hey, hey

Tell me did you sail across the sun

Did you make it to the Milky Way to see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated

One without a permanent scar

And did you miss me while you were looking at yourself out there

She checks out Mozart while she does tae-bo
G F
Reminds me that there's time to grow, hey, hey

Told a story about a man who is too afraid to fly so he never did land

Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back to the Milky Way

Was it everything you wanted to find

And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there

Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken

Your best friend always sticking up for you even when I know you're wrong
C G
Can you imagine no first dance, freeze dried romance five-hour phone
conversation
F
The best soy latte that you ever had . . . and me

G D
Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
F C
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back toward the Milky Way

G D
Tell me did you sail across the sun

Did you make it to the Milky Way to see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated

Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star

I Won’t Give Up – Jason Mraz

G D
When I look into your eyes
G D
It's like watching the night sky
G D
Or a beautiful sunrise
A
There's so much they hold
G D
And just like them old stars
G D
I see that you've come so far
G D
To be right where you are
A
How old is your soul?

G D
I won't give up on us
Bm A
Even if the skies get rough
G D
I'm giving you all my love
A
I'm still looking up

G D
And when you're needing your space
G D
To do some navigating
G D
I'll be here patiently waiting
A
To see what you find
   78  

G D
'Cause even the stars they burn
Bm A
Some even fall to the earth
G D
We've got a lot to learn
A
God knows we're worth it
G
No, I won't give up

G
I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily
A
I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make
G
Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use
A
The tools and gifts we got yeah, we got a lot at stake
C
And in the end, you're still my friend at least we did intend

For us to work we didn't break, we didn't burn

A
We had to learn how to bend without the world caving in
C A
I had to learn what I've got, and what I'm not
D
And who I am

G D
I won't give up on us
Bm A
Even if the skies get rough
G D
I'm giving you all my love
A
I'm still looking up

You, with your words like knives and swords

And weapons that you use against me

Why you gotta be so mean?

Verse:

Drunk and rumblin' all about how I can't sing

Put Your Records On by Corinne Bailey Rae

G A7
Three little birds, sat on my window.

C G
And they told me I don't need to worry.

G
Summer came like cinnamon

A7
So sweet,

C G
Little girls double-dutch on the concrete.

Em A7 C A7
Maybe sometimes, we've got it wrong, but it's alright

C A7 Am7
The more things seem to change, the more they stay the same

Am7
Oh, don't you hesitate.

G A7
Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song

C G
You go ahead, let your hair down

G A7
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,

C G
Just go ahead, let your hair down.

A7 C G
You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow.

[Same as Verse 1]
Blue as the sky, sunburnt and lonely,
Sipping tea in a bar by the roadside,
(just relax, just relax)
Don't you let those other boys fool you,
Got to love that afro hair do.

Maybe sometimes, we feel afraid, but it's alright

The more you stay the same, the more they seem to change.
Don't you think it's strange?
   86  

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song

You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.

You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow.

C
'Twas more than I could take, pity for pity's sake

Em C
Some nights kept me awake, I thought that I was stronger

A7
When you gonna realise, that you don't even have to try any
longer?

Am7
Do what you want to.

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song

You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song

You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.

Oh, you're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow

Beauty queen of only eighteen

She had some trouble with herself

He was always there to help her

She always belonged to someone else

Em D
I drove for miles and miles
Em D
And wound up at your door

I've had you so many times but
Em D
somehow I want more

G5 D
I don't mind spending everyday
Em C5
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
G5 D
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Em C5
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
G5 D
And she will be loved
Em C
She will be loved

Tap on my window knock on my door

I want to make you feel beautiful
I know I tend to get insecure
It doesn't matter anymore

It's not always rainbows and butterflies

It's compromise that moves us along
My heart is full and my door's always open
You can come anytime you want

CHORUS

I know where you hide

Alone in your car
Know all of the things that make you who you are
I know that goodbye means nothing at all
Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls

JOHN MAYER – WAITING ON THE WORLD TO CHANGE

D Bm
Me and all my friends
G D
We're all misunderstood
A Bm
They say we stand for nothing and
G D
There's no way we ever could

Now we see everything that's going wrong

With the world and those who lead it
We just feel like we don't have the means
To rise above and beat it

So we keep waiting
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting
Waiting on the world to change

It's hard to beat the system

When we're standing at a distance
So we keep waiting
Waiting on the world to change

Now if we had the power

To bring our neighbors home from war
They would have never missed a Christmas
No more ribbons on their door
And when you trust your television
What you get is what you got
Cause when they own the information, oh
They can bend it all they want
   95  

That's why we're waiting

Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting
Waiting on the world to change

It's not that we don't care,

We just know that the fight ain't fair
So we keep on waiting
Waiting on the world to change

And we're still waiting

Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting waiting on the world to change
One day our generation
Is gonna rule the population

A Bm
So we keep on waiting
G D
Waiting on the world to change
A Bm
Now we keep on waiting
G D
Waiting on the world to change
A Bm
We keep on waiting
G D
Waiting on the world to change (x4)

American Pie
G D Em7
A long, long time ago,

Am C Em D
I can still remember how that music used to make me smile

G D Em7
And I know if I had my chance,

Am C Em C D
That I could make those people dance and maybe they'd be happy for a while

Em Am Em Am
But February made me shiver, with every paper I'd deliver

C G Am C D
Bad news on the doorstep, I couldn't take one more step

G D Em Am7 D
I can't remember if I cried when I read about his widowed bride

G D Em
Something touched me deep inside

C D7 G C G
The day the music died

CHORUS

G C G D
So bye, bye Miss American Pie

G C G D
Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry

G C G D
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye

Em A7 Em D7
Singin' this will be the day that I die, this will be the day that I die

VERSE
G Am
Did you write the book of love

C Am Em D
And do you have faith in god above, if the bible tells you so?

G D Em
Do you believe in rock and roll

Am7 C Em A7 D
Can music save your mortal soul and can you teach me how to dance real slow?

Em D Em D
Well I know that you're in love with him 'cuz I saw you dancin' in the gym
   102  

C G A7 C D7
You both kicked off your shoes, man I dig those rhythm and blues

G D Em Am C
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck with a pink carnation and a pickup truck

G D Em C D7 G C G
But I knew I was out of luck the day the music died, I started singin'

CHORUS

G C G D
So bye, bye Miss American Pie

G C G D
Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry

G C G D
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye

Em A7 Em D7
Singin' this will be the day that I die, this will be the day that I die

VERSE

G Am
Now for ten years we've been on our own,
C Am Em D
and moss grows fat on a rolling stone but that's not how it used to be
G D Em
When the jester sang for the king and queen
Am7 C Em A7 D
in a coat he borrowed from James Dean in a voice that came from you and me
Em D Em D
And while the king was looking down, the jester stole his thorny crown
C G A7 C D7
The courtroom was adjourned, no verdict was returned
G D Em Am C
And while Lenin read a book on Marx, the quartet practiced in the park
G D Em C D7 G C G
And we sang dirges in the dark the day the music died, we were singin'

CHORUS

G C G D
So bye, bye Miss American Pie

G C G D
Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry

G C G D
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye

Em A7 Em D7
Singin' this will be the day that I die, this will be the day that I die
   103  

VERSE

G Am
Helter skelter in a summer swelter
C Am Em D
the birds flew off with a fallout shelter, eight miles high and fallin' fast
G D Em
It landed foul on the grass
Am7 C Em A7 D
the players tried for a forward pass, with the jester on the sidelines in
A cast
Em D Em D
Now at halftime there was sweet perfume, while sergeants played a marching
Tune
C G A7 C D7
We all got up to dance, but we never got the chance
G D Em Am C
'Cuz the players tried to take the field, the marching band refused to yield
G D Em C D7 G C G
Do you recall what was the feel the day the music died, we started singin'

CHORUS
G C G D
So bye, bye Miss American Pie

G C G D
Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry

G C G D
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye

Em A7 Em D7
Singin' this will be the day that I die, this will be the day that I die

VERSE

G Am
And there we were all in one place,
C Am Em D
a generation lost in space, with no time left to start again
G D Em Am7 C
So come on Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, Jack Flash sat on a candle
Em A7 D
stick, 'cuz fire is the devil's only friend
Em D Em D
And as I watched him on the stage, my hands were clenched in fists of rage
C G A7 C D7
No angel born in Hell could bread that Satan's spell
G D Em Am C
And as the flames climbed high into the night to light the sacrificial rite
G D Em C D7 G C G
I saw Satan laughing with delight the day the music died, he was singin'

CHORUS

G C G D
So bye, bye Miss American Pie

G C G D
Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry
   104  

G C G D
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye

Em A7 Em D7
Singin' this will be the day that I die, this will be the day that I die

LAST VERSE

G D Em
I met a girl who sang the blues

Am C Em D
And I asked her for some happy news, but she just smiled and turned away

G D Em
I went down to the sacred store
Am C Em C
Where I'd heard the music years before, but the man there said the music
D
wouldn't play

Em Am Em Am
But in the streets the children screamed, the lovers cried and the poets
dreamed

C G Am C D
But not a word was spoken, the church bells all were broken

G D Em Am7 C D7
And the three men I admire most, the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost

G D Em Am7 D7 G
They caught the last train for the coast the day the music died,

D7
And they were singin'

FINAL CHORUS
G C G D
So bye, bye Miss American Pie
G C G D
Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry

G C G D
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye

C D7 G C G
Singin' this will be the day that I die.

Escaping one last time
C F G
It's easier to believe

Oh this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees

Broken  Strings  
 
Am
Let me hold you
C
For the last time
F
It's the last chance to feel again
Am
But you broke me
C F Dm
Now I can't feel anything
Am
When I love you,
C
It's so untrue
F
I can't even convince myself
Am
When I'm speaking,
C F Dm
It's the voice of someone else

F G Am
Oh it tears me up
F G Em
I try to hold on, but it hurts too much
F G Em F C
I try to forgive, but it's not enough to make it all okay

Dm Am
You can't play on broken strings
C G
You can't feel anything
Dm Am
That your heart don't want to feel
C G
I can't tell you something that ain't real

Oh the truth hurts

And lies worse

How can I give anymore
Dm Am G
When I love you a little less than before

Oh what are we doing
F
We are turning into dust

Playing house in the ruins of us
Am C
Running back through the fire

When there's nothing left to save

It's like chasing the very last train when it's too late

Oh it tears me up

I try to hold on, but it hurts too much
F G Em F C
I try to forgive, but it's not enough to make it all okay

But we're running through the fire

When there's nothing left to save

It's like chasing the very last train
F Dm
When we both know it's too late (too late)

CHORUS

Am C
Let me hold you for the last time
F Dm
It's the last chance to feel again

Four Strong Winds – Neil Young

Intro: C Dm G

Verse 1

C Dm
I think I'll go out to Alberta
G C
Weather's good there in the fall
C Dm G
I've got some friends that I can go working for
C Dm
Still I wish you'd change your mind
G C
If I ask you one more time
Dm C G G
But we've been through that a hundred times before

Chorus
C Dm
Four strong winds that blow lonely
G C
Seven seas that run high
C Dm G
All those things that don't change come what may
C Dm
For the good times are all gone
G C
And I'm bound for moving on
Dm C G
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way

Verse 2

C Dm G
If I get there before the snow flies, And if things are
looking good
C Dm G
You could meet me if I sent you down the fare
C Dm
But by then it would be winter
G C
Not too much for you to do
Dm C G
And those winds sure can blow cold way out there

Repeat chorus

Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley

Intro: C Am C Am

C Am
I heard there was a secret chord
C Am
That David played and it pleased the lord
F G C G
But you don't really care for music, do you?
C F G
Well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth
Am F
The minor fall and the major lift
G E7 Am
The baffled king composing hallelujah

Chorus:

F Am F C G C
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....

C Am
Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
C Am
You saw her bathing on the roof
F G C G
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
C F G
She tied you to her kitchen chair
Am F
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
G E7 Am
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah

F Am F C G C
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....

C Am
Baby I've been here before
C Am
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
F G C G
I used to live alone before I knew you
C F G
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
   116  

Am F
But love is not a victory march
G E7 Am
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

F Am F C G C
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....

C Am
Well there was a time when you let me know
C Am
What's really going on below
F G C G
But now you never show that to me do you
C F G
But remember when I moved in you
Am F
And the holy dove was moving too
G E7 Am
And every breath we drew was hallelujah

C Am
Well, maybe there's a god above
C Am
But all I've ever learned from love
F G C G
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
C F G
It's not a cry that you hear at night
Am F
It's not somebody who's seen the light
G E7 Am
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

F Am F C G C
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....

Shower  the  People

Bm D/A G
Though you know it wasn't written for you
D A A#dim7
But tell me, how can you stand there with your broken heart
Bm D/A G
Ashamed of playing the fool
D A Bm D/A G
One thing can lead to an-other; it doesn't take any sac-ri-fice
D A A#dim7
Oh, father and mother, sis-ter and brother,
Bm D/A G (D/F#)
if it feels nice, don't think twice

D/F# Em7 A
Just shower the people you love with love
Em7 A
Show them the way that you feel
Em7 A A#dim7 Bm F#dim7
Things are gonna work out fine if you only will
Em7 A
Shower the people you love with love
Em7 A
Show them the way that you feel
Em7 A A#dim7 Bm
Things are gonna be much better if you only will. [C G]

You can run but you cannot hide; this is widely known
And what you plan to do with your foolish pride
when you're all by yourself alone
Once you tell somebody the way that you feel
you can feel it beginning to ease
I think it's true what they say about the squeaky wheel
always getting the grease.

Better to shower the people you love with love

Show them the way that you feel
Things are gonna be just fine if you only will
Show the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
Things are gonna be much better if you only will.

Em7 A Em7

||: Shower the people you love with love; show them the way that
you feel :||

They say in every life, They say the rain must fall, Just like
pouring rain, Make it rain, Love is sunshine.

James Taylor – Sweet Baby James

D A G F#m
There is a young cowboy he lives on the range.
Bm G D F#m
His horse and his cattle are his only companion.
Bm G D F#m
He works in the saddle and he sleeps in the canyon.
G D A Em A
Waiting for summer, his pastures to change.
G A D
And as the moon rises he sits by his fire.
Bm G D A
Thinkin' about women and glasses of beer.
G A D
Closing his eyes as the doggies retire
Bm G D
He sings out a song which is soft but it's clear
Bm E A
As if maybe someone could hear.

D G A D
CHORUS: Goodnight you moonlight ladies.
Bm G D
Rock-a-bye sweet baby James.
Bm G D
Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose.
Bm E A+ A
Won't you let me go down in my dreams.
G A D
And rock-a-bye sweet baby James.

D A G F#m
Now the first of December was covered with snow.
Bm G D F#m
And so was the turnpike from Stockridge to Boston.
Bm G D F#m
Lord the Berkshires seemed dreamlike on account of that frosting.
G D A Em A
With ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go.
G A D
There's a song that they sing when they take to the highway.
Bm G D A
A song that they sing when they take to the sea.
G A D
A song that they sing of they're home in the sky.
Bm G D
Maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep.
Bm E A+ A
But singing works just fine for me.

Vincent – Don McLean

Verse 1:
G
Starry, starry night
Am
Paint your palette blue and gray
C
Look out on a summer's day
D7 G
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
G
Shadows on the hills
Am
Sketch the trees and the daffodils
C
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
D7 G
In colors on the snowy linen land

Chorus:
Am D7
Now I understand
G Em
What you tried to say to me
Am7 D7
And how you suffered for your sanity
Em
And how you tried to set them free
A7
They would not listen, they did not know how
D7 G
Perhaps they'll listen now

Verse 2:
Starry, starry night
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in violet haze
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue

Colors changing hue

Morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
   147  

Chorus:
Now I understand
What you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now

Bridge:
Am7
For they could not love you
D7 G Em
But still your love was true
Am7
And when no hope was left in sight
Cm6
On that starry, starry night
G F7 E7
You took your life, as lovers often do
Am7
But I could've told you Vincent
C
This world was never meant for
D7 G
One as beautiful as you

Verse 3:
Starry, starry night
Portraits hung in empty halls
Frame-less heads on nameless walls
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget

Like the strangers that you've met

The ragged men in ragged clothes
The silver thorn of bloody rose
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow

Chorus:
Now I think I know
What you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free

A7 Am7
They would not listen; they're not listening still
D7 G
Perhaps they never will

Blowin In the Wind – Bob Dylan

D G D
How many roads must a man walk down
G D
Before you call him a man?
D G D
Yes, 'n' how many seas must a white dove sail
G A
Before she sleeps in the sand?
D G D
Yes, 'n' how many times must the cannon balls fly
G D
Before they're forever banned?

Chorus
G A D Bm
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
G A D
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

G A D Bm G A D

How many years can a mountain exist

Before it's washed to the sea?
Yes, 'n' how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, 'n' how many times can a man turn his head,
Pretending he just doesn't see?

Chorus
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

G A D Bm G A D

How many times must a man look up

Before he can see the sky?
Yes, 'n' how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, 'n' how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?

Chorus
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
