AAnd I'm awfully glad it will A/Gall be over iFn a couple of EdayDsus2s. C B

AWell the calendar changed and the A/Gpages fell off

but thFe singer remained thEe same

And hAe never grew tired oA/Gf singing his song

anFd his fans still calleEd his name

TheCy'd leave at the end ofG the second shoCw, go home to talk oDf the fun

FoAr most of the fans werA/Ge married by then, so thFey had to be in Aby one

Lime and Coconut

Key: AEasy

This one is from memory. Best as I can recall, all the music is

simply repeating a 7th chord and the 7th chord one fourth up.

I use A7 and D7, because the D7 makes for a nifty sounding

up strum.

LIME IN DE COCONUT by Harry Nillson

She put de A7lime in de coconut, D7drink 'em bot' togeder

she put de lime in de coconut, drink 'em bot' up.

She put de lime in de coconut, drink 'em bot' togeder

Good For God

Key: CHard

The other Cday a friendG7 of mine said C

He said that G7God's not even Cwith us

He said that G7God is really Cdead C7

CHe said old pal a G7facts a fCact

You can't beG7lieve that magic Cact

I said, I G7don't and that was Cthat

Now I say CGood Dfor GGod,

CGood Dfor GGod

He Cgoes and makes the B7planet blue

And Bball the thanks he Agets from you

Is Glook at all that poo poo in the Cyard

CGood Dfor GGod

I Cbet His life up Dthere is very Ghard

He Cknows each time a sB7pot will fall

But Bbwho can answer Aall His calls

GGood for CGod

Good for God

I bet He's got a very hard job

I'm awfully glad I'm here to say

He made it possible for me to stay

Here to say Good for God

Good for God, Good Lord

Good for God, Good God Almighty

Ain't got no mama

Ain't got no papa

Good for God

Now the other day another friend of mine said

He said, the sun is going yellow

And pretty soon we'd all be dead

I said, my friend what do you me-an

You must be living in a museum

And things are never as they see'em

Good for God

Now if truth is truth

And its easier if you know the truth

And that's the truth so help me God

Good for God

He's got a hard job

Now before they put me in the hole

I pray to God I find a big loophole

Good for me & Good for God

Good for God

I bet he drove the little girls wild ...

The Moonbeam Song

Key: CHard

CHave you ever watched aC9 moConbC9eam,C as it Gslid across your window paG9ne?G

GOr struggled with a bit of G9raiGn, or danced about the G9weather Gvane

Or Csettled on a C9moving Ctrain and wondered where the C9train has Cbeen?

COr on a fence with bits of crap arC7ound it's bottom,

FBlown there by a windbeam, who Dsearches for the moonbeam

Who was last seen Glooking G9at the Gtracks of the careless G9windGbeam,

GMovin' to the G9tracks Gof the G9tireless Gfreight train

And Glighting up G9the Gsides of theG9 weather Gvane

And theG bits of G9rain, and the Gwindow G9pane

And the Geyes of G9those Gwho G9think they Gsaw it haCppen.

CAah ah ahC9 aah Cahhh, FAah ah ah F9aah Fahhh

DAah ah ah D9aah Dahhh

Looking at the tracks of the careless windbeam,

Movin' to the tracks of the tireless freight train

And lighting up the sides of the weather vane

And the bits of rain, and the window pane

And the eyes of those who think they saw it happen.

1941

Key: D#Medium

D#7

C#7

Bb7

Well in D#7nineteen-forty Gone a happy C#7father had a Bbson

And by D#7nineteen-forty Gfour the father C#7walks right out the Bbdoor

And in D#7forty Gfive the mom and C#7son were still aBblive

But B7who could tell in forty Bb7six if the two were to survive

Well the D#7years were passing Gquickly, but not C#7fast enough for Bbhim

So he D#7closed his eyes through Gfifty five, then he C#7opened them up aBbgain

Then he D#7looked around he Gsaw a clown and the C#7clown seemed very Bbgay

And he B7set that night to joinBb7 that circus clown and run away

Well he followed every railroad track and every highway sign

And he had a girl in each new town and the towns he left behind

And the open road was the only road he knew

But the color of his dreams was slowly turning into blue

Then he met a girl, the kind of girl he wanted all his life

She was soft and kind and good to him, so he took her for a wife

And they got a house not far from town and in a little while

The girl had seen the doctor and she came home with a smile

Now in nineteen-sixty one a happy father had a son

And by nineteen-sixty four the father walked right out the door

And in sixty five the mom and son were still around

But what will happen to the boy when the circus comes to town

But round and around and around and around

Is the problem of the space man

CWe used to Gcarry on and drink and do the Crock and rolGl.

We never thought we get Colder

GWe?d never thought it'd grow Ccold butG noGw

Down by the sea she knew a sailor who had been to war.

She never even knew a sailor before, she never even knew his name.

He'd come to town and he would pound her for a couple of days

And then he'd sail across the bubbly waves and those

And those were happier days, but now
