CComes the time for FChristmas
And I Greally have to Amask
If Amthis is feeling Dmmerry
How much Glonger must it Clast?
I wish a Cone horse open Fsleigh
Would come Gcarry me Amaway
But I've been Amwaiting here all Dmday
And one just Ghasn't come my Cway
Now Cexcuse me if I'm not being Freverent
But I was Ghoping for a miracle to Amhold me, wash me
AmSave me from my Dmrighteous doubt
as I Gwatch helpless, and Ceverybody sings
If it's CChanukah or FKwanza
GSolstice, harvest or DecAmember twenty-fifth
AmPeace on earth to Dmeveryone
And Gabundance to Ceveryone you're with
CLa ha da da daF da da

CComes the time for FChristmas
And as you Graise your Yuletide Amflask
There's like this Amfeeling that you Dmcarry
As if from Gevery Christmas Cpast
It's as Cif each year it Fgrows
It's like you Gfeel it in your Amtoes
And Amon and on your Dmcarol goes
Harvesting Glove among your Cwoes
I want to Cbuy into the beneFvolent
And I was Ghoping for a miracle to Amhold me, wash me
AmMake me know what Dmit's about
As the Glonging in me Cmakes me want to sing
CNoel or FNavidad
GSeason celebration or Amjust the end of the year
AmChristmas can mean Dmanything
And I Gmean to keep its Chope forever near
Repeat la's....
As if a Amcold and frozen soul is Gwarm to Amlove
By loves own Chand
So goes the Amprayer if for a Gday peace on earth
FAnd good will to Gman
At twenty Cbelow the winter storm it Fbillows
But the Gfire is so warm Aminside G
And the Amchildren while nestled in their Dmpillows
Dream of GSt. Nicholas's Cride
And how the Cnext day they'll get up and they Fwill play
In the Gstill falling Christmas Amsnow G
And Amtogether we'll celebrate forDmever
In defGiance of the winds that Cblow G
My god in Cheaven now I feel like I'm Fseven
And the Gspirit calls to me as Cwell G
As if AmChristmas had made the winter Dmwarmer
Made a Gparadise from what was Chell G
As if a Amcold and frozen Gsoul is warm to Amlove
By loves own Chand
So goes the Amprayer if for a Gday peace on earth
FAnd good will to Gman.......

Ah ah to defend my creative right
I'll defend what's mine cause what's mine will be all mine
It's what I'd fight for it's for what I'd bleed
I roll the dice on the grand experiment
While I am stong I will get what I need
You take it for granted
I guess that's what it's for
But before you demand it
Take a look out your back door
If you're concerned with the moral imperative
If you are tripping on the right thing to do
Come to my office with the exclusive screenplay
I think there's money in a book about you
Ah ah what have you got to lose
Ah ah which are you gonna choose
I choose what's mine so what's mine will be all mine
Gonna make a million on the folly of men
Don't even care about no consequences
Turn my damnation into chapter ten
You take it for granted
I guess that's what it's for
But before you demand it
Take a look out your back door
Enjoy!

Run around

"Run Around"
Blues Traveler
GCAmD
Once upon a midnight dearie
I woke with something in my head
I couldn't escape the memory
Of a phone call and of what you said
Like a game show contestant with a parting gift
I could not believe my eyes
When I saw through the voice of a trusted friend
Who needs to humor me and tell me lies
Yeah humor me and tell me lies
And I'll lie too and say I don't mind
And as we seek so shall we find
And when you're feeling open I'll still be here
But not without a certain degree of fear
Of what will be with you and me
I still can see things hopefully
But you
Why you wanna give me a run-around
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up
When all it does is slow me down
And shake me and my confidence
About a great many things
But I've been there I can see it cower
Like a nervous magician waiting in the wings
Of a bad play where the heroes are right
And nobody thinks or expects too much
And Hollywood's calling for the movie rights
Singing hey babe let's keep in touch
Hey baby let's keep in touch
But I want more than a touch I want you to reach me
And show me all the things no one else can see
So what you feel becomes mine as well
And soon if we're lucky we'd be unable to tell
What's yours and mine the finshings fine
And it doesn't have to rhyme so don't feed me a line
But you
Why you wanna give me a run-around
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up
When all it does is slow me down
Tra la la la la bomba dear this is the pilot speaking
And I've got some news for you
It seems my ship still stands no matter what you drop
And there ain't a whole lot that you can do
Oh sure the banner may be torn and wind's gotten colder
Perhaps I've grown a little cynical
But I know no matter what the waitress brings
I shall drink in and always be full
My cup shall always be full
Oh I like coffee
And I like tea
I'd like to be able to enter a final plea
I still got this dream that you just can't shake
I love you to the point you can no longer take
Well all right okay
So be that way
I hope and pray
That there's something left to say
But you
Why you wanna give me a run-around
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up
When all it does is slow me down
But you
Why you wanna give me a run-around
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up
When all it does is slow me down

Alone

Key: AEasy
×A
××D
×C
The placement of the chords is a little
loose, but play with it and you'll get the idea.
If you only have one guitar, try playing the
fast part with barre chords, works pretty well.
I said "I love Ayou,"
She began to Dcry.
She said she needed a Afriend,
I said "I'll Dtry."
Soon we'd say Anothing,
Somehow I never wondered Dwhy,
You see, she Cleft me,
She Dleft me,
I'm Aalone. D
I'd loved her always,
She didn't know.
I tried patience,
Let a friendship grow.
I tried to keep her,
That's what made her go.
You see, she left me,
She left me,
I'm alone.
Beauty and the beast
Was how it seemed to be.
A love like hers
Aint meant for guys like me.
Some call me crazy,
Some politely call me free,
but either way
You see, she left me,
She left me,
I'm alone.
AI'm trying to forget you but it just won't work,
I think I'm Dlosing my mind, I think I'm going berzerk,
I love you Awith a passion that you just don't know,
And I kinDda wish right now that I was telling you so,
I could rant, Aor rave, or play some little game,
But when I Dlook into your eyes, it all seems the same,
You weren't Ameant for me and that's a sad but true fact,
Now I don't Dcare how I look and don't care how I act,
You set me Afree; I'm a man among men,
But when I Dthink of what I missed it starts all again,
Now alone Ain the darkness of each new day,
My heart is Don its own.
I wanna Arip it from my chest and throw it away,
DWatch this bassman take me home.
I guess some day,
Love will soon be here,
And maybe then,
I'll see things more clear.
I guess I got excited,
Cause it felt so near,
and
You see, she left me,
She left me,
I'm alone.
But I know I'd give my life,
Just to hold her now,
And who knows?
I might see her around.
Hopes can always go up.
Tears can only come down.
You see, she left me.
She left me,
I'm alone.

A música inteira segue essa seqüência:
AEF#mCDADE
It doesn't matter what I say
So long as I sing with inflection
That makes you feel that I'll convey
Some inner truth of vast reflection
But I've said nothing so far
And I can keep it up as long as it takes
And it don't matter who you are
If I'm doing my job, it's your resolve that breaks
Because the hook brings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lie
The hook brings you back
On that you can rely
There is something amiss
I am being insincere
In fact I don't mean any of this
Still my confession draws you near
To confuse the issue I refer
To familiar heroes from long ago
No matter how much Peter loved her
What made the Pan refuse to grow?
Was that the hook brings you back
I ain't telling you no lie
The hook brings you back
On that you can rely
Suck it in suck it in suck it in
If you're Rin Tin Tin or Anne Boleyn
Make a desperate move or else you'll win
And then begin
to see
What you're doing to me this MTV is not for free
It's so PC it's killing me
So desperately I sing to thee of love
Sure but also rage and hate and pain and fear of self
And I can't keep these feelings on the shelf
I tried, well no in fact I lied
Could be financial suicide but I've got too much pride inside
To hide or slide
I'll do as I'll decide and let it ride until I've died
And only then shall I abide this tide
Of catchy little tunes
Of hip three minute ditties
I wanna bust all your balloons
I wanna burn all of your cities to the ground
I've found I will not mess around
Unless I play then hey
I will go on all day hear what I say
I have a prayer to pray
That's really all this was
And when I'm feeling stuck and need a buck
I don't rely on luck
Because the hook brings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lie
The hook brings you back, yeaah
On that you can rely
