"Bonaparte's Retreat"

"Bonaparte's Retreat"


Met the girl I-I love in a town way down in Dixie
Beneath the stars up above
She was the sweetest girl I ever did see

So I held her in my arms and told her of her many charms, I
Kissed her while the guitars played
The Bonaparte's Retreat
Guitar....

All the world wa-as bright as I held her on that night
And I heard her-er say
Please don't you go away

So I held her in my arms and told her of her many charms, I
Kissed her while the bagpipe played
The Bonaparte's Retreat
Bagpipe...

Well I met the girl I-I love in a town way down in Dixie
Beneath the stars up above
She was the sweetest girl I ever did see

So I held her in my arms and told her of her many charms, I
Kissed her while the fiddles played
The Bonaparte's Retreat
Fiddle...

All the world wa-as bright as I held her on that night
And I heard her-er say
Please don't you go away

So I held her in my arms and told her of her many charms, I
Kissed her while everybody played
The Bonaparte's Retreat
Everybody...

Yes I held her in my arms and told her of her many charms, I
Kissed her while everybody's playin'
The Bonaparte's Retreat

Yes I held her in my arms, I told her of her many charms, and I
Kissed her while everybody's playin' [Fade]

"Both Sides Now"

"Both Sides Now"


Bows and flows of angel hair, and ice cream castles in the air
Feathered canyons everywhere, I've looked at clouds that way
Now they only block the sun, they rain and snow on everyone
So many things I could have done, but clouds got in my way
I've looked at clouds from both sides now from up and down and still somehow
It's cloud's illusion I recall, I really don't know clouds at all

Moons and Junes and farris wheels. The dizzy dancing way you feel
When every fairytale comes real. I've looked at love that way
Now that's just another show you leave them laughing when you go
If you care don't let them know don't give yourself away
I've looked at love from both sides now from give and take and still somehow
It's love's illusion I recall I really don't know love at all

Tears and fears and feeling proud to say I love you right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds I look at life that way
Now old friends are acting strange. They shake their heads they say I've changed
But something's lost and something's gained in living every day
I've looked at life from both sides now from win and lose and still somehow
It's life's illusion I recall. I really don't know life at all

"Bowling Green"

"Bowling Green"


Way down in Bowling Green the prettiest girls I've ever seen
A man in Kentucky sure is lucky to love down in Bowling Green
Bowling Green folks treat you kind better you think your own mind
A man in Kentucky sure is lucky in Bowling Green you walk your own line
Kentucky sunshine makes the heart unfold
It warms your body and I know it touches the soul
The bluegrass is fine Kentucky owns my mind

Fields down in Bowling Green have the softest grass I've ever seen
A man in Kentucky sure is lucky to lie down in Bowling Green
[ strings - dobro ]
Kentucky sunshine makes the heart unfold...
Bowling Green girls treat you right they wear dresses cut country tight
A man in Kentucky sure is lucky he seen the Bowling Green night
A man in Kentucky well he sure is lucky he seen the Bowling Green night
A man in Kentucky well he sure is lucky he seen the Bowling Green night

"Break My Mind"

"Break My Mind"


Baby oh baby tell the man at the ticket stand that you've changed your mind
Let me run outside and tell the cab to keep his meter flyin'
Cause if you say goodbye to me babe you're gonna break my mind
Break my mind break my mind
No I just can't stand to hear them big jet engines whine
Break my mind break my mind oh Lord
If you leave you're gonna leave a babblin' fool behind

Oh baby oh baby let me keep your suitcase off of the scales in time
Tell the man that you've suddenly developed a thing about flyin'
Cause if you say goodbye to me girl you're gonna break my mind
Break my mind break my mind...
Break my mind break my mind...
Baby break my mind break my mind...

"Bridge Over Troubled Water"

"Bridge Over Troubled Water"


When you're weary feeling small when tears are in your eyes I will dry them all
I'm on your side oh when times get rough and friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down

Sail on silver girl sail on by your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine oh if you need a friend I'm sailing out behind
Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind ease your mind

"Burning Bridges"

"Burning Bridges"


Found some letters you wrote me this morning they told of a love we once knew
Now they're gone I'd burned them to ashes
Don't want nothing to remind me of you
Burning bridges behind me it's too late to turn back now
Burning bridges behind me all I want is to forget you somehow

Sold the house we once planned together said goodbye to friends we knew
Then I moved to a faraway city trying hard to forget about you
Burning bridges behind me...

"By The Time I Get To Phoenix"

"By The Time I Get To Phoenix"


By the time I get to Phoenix
She'll be rising
She'll find the note I left hanging on her door
She'll laugh, when she reads the part that says I'm leaving
Cause I've left that girl, so many times before

By the time I make Albuquerque
She'll be working
She'll probably stop at lunch,
And give me a call
But she'll just hear that phone keep on ringing
Off the wall, that's all

By the time I make Oklahoma
She'll be sleeping
She'll turn softly and call my name out low
And she'll cry, just to think, I'd really leave her
Though time and time I've tried to tell her so
She just didn't know,
I would really go

"Can You Fool"

"Can You Fool"


Well you can take all of the money that you made and put it in the jar
Drag out a map that will show you, is Heaven very far?
You take all of the medicine you need 'til ya find out who you are
Maybe you can figure why that woman wanna be so cruel
But ya, ya just can't forget her, can you fool?

Well those winter nights and the city lights and the crying of the train
Everyday is a shade of gray, every memory's a fade
And then ya finally use the sense God gave ya to come out of the rain
Still you can't figure why that man is got to be so cruel
But ya just can't forget him, can you fool?

Oh, love is long and love is hard
Love brings lots of pain
She was here, now she's gone
Lord, bring her back again

Well you can take all of the money that you made and put it in the jar
Drag out a map that will show you, is Heaven very far?
And you can take all of the medicine you need 'til ya find out who you are
Still you can't figure why that man he got to be so cruel
But ya just can't forget him, can you fool?
No, you just can't forget her, can you fool?
Aww, can you fool?

"Catch The Wind"

"Catch The Wind"


In the chilly hours and minutes of uncertainity I want to be
In the warm hold of your loving mind
To feel you all around me and to take your hand along the sand
Ah but I may as well try and catch the wind
When sundown pales the sky I want to hide a while behind your smile
And everywhere I'd look your eyes I'd find
For me to love you now t'would be the sweetest thing t'would make me sing
Ah but I may as well try and catch the wind

[Ac. Guitar]

When rain has hung the leaves with tears I want you near to kill my fears
To help me leave all my blues behind
Standing in your heart is where I want to be and long to be
Ah but I may as well try and catch the wind

[Strings]

Ah but I may as well try and catch the wind

"Cold December (In Your Heart)"

"Cold December (In Your Heart)"


A touch of April in your smile July and Agust in your yellow hair
A sweet September in your eyes November notions in the clothes you wear
You're every season's work of art but there's a cold December in your heart
It seemed to me the day we met that all the flowers had begun to bloom
I thought you'd help me to forget the dusty shadows of my lonely room
I should have known right from the start about the cold December in your heart

I loved you more and more each day through every season of the year
Your lovin' laughter seemed to say your life was empty when I wasn't near
Old love would lead you to the grave I was a fool to think you loved my too
You always took but you never gave until you've taken all my love for you
I feel a chill I must depart and leave the cold December in your heart
In your heart in your heart
