They say some days you're gonna win,
G5 G5 F#5 F5
They say some days you're gonna lose.
G5 G5 F#5 F5
I tell you I got news for you
G5
Your losin' all the time you never win
C5 E5 F5 F5
If you believe that's how it's gonna be I'd better put you down
C5 E5
Get off your tightrope up there come down on he ground
F5
You gotta save me now,
F5
You better turn around.
A5 F5 A5 D5
When I looked around, I was heading down.
C5 G5 A5 C5 F5 E5 A5
Won't some - bo - dy throw me down a line.
They say some days you gotta give--
They say some days you gotta take--
If that's the way it's gotta be,
Roll it over and you will see.
The city streets are full of people going nowhere making time.
The change from night to day is really only hours,
It's just along the line can't you see the sign
When I looked around, I was heading down,
C5 G5 A5 C5 F5 G5 C5 Ab5 Dm7-5 C5 G5
Won't somebody throw me down a line.
I want to look you straight in the eye,
I want to tell you how I really feel,
F5 G5 F#5
I can feel the wheels turnin' round,
Won't somebody throw me down a line
The city streets are full of people going nowhere making time,
The change from night to day is really only hours
It's just along the line, can't you see the sign
When I closed my eyes, I was so surprised
C5 G5 A5 C5 F5 E5 A5 D5
Somebody had thrown me down the line--stopped me drownin'
C5 G5 A5 C5 F5 G5 C5 Ab5 Dm7-5 C5 G5
Somebody had thrown me down the line

Hello--how are you
A5 Bb5 B5
Have you been alright, through all those lonely lonely lonely nights,
E5 B5 C#5
That's what I'd say, I'd tell you everything,
D5 E5 Aj7 Dj7
If you'd pick up that telephone.

Don't you realize the things we did were all for real not a dream ,
I just can't believe
They've all faded out of view.
A5 F#5 D5 E5
Doo wop etc. doo wah doo lang

D5 E5
the little dreams we had ain't coming true
A5 F#5 D5 E5 E5
Oh, oh, Telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight
A5 F#5 D5 E5 F5
Oh, oh, Telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight
O.K. so no--one's answering,
Well can't you just let it ring a little longer
I'll just sit tight, through the shadows of the night
Let it ring for evermore.

@SONG: ROCKARIA!
Intro: D5 B5 F#5 A5
D5
Just got back from the downtown palais
Where the music was so sweet
It knocked me right back in the alley
G5 D5
I'm ready, yea, yea, yea, I'm ready,
A5
Wo, wo, wo, I'm ready
B5 F#5 E5 A5
And I'm really gonna rock tonight.
Sweet little lady sings like a songbird
And she sings the opera like you ain't never heard,
But she ain't ready,
No, no, no, she ain't ready
No, no, no, she ain't ready,
And she ain't gonna rock & roll
E5 A5
She's sweet on Wagner,
E5 A5
I think she'd die for Beethoven,
She loves the way Puccini lays down a tune,
And Verdi's always creeping from her room.
D5 B5 F#5 A5
Come on I'll show you how to sing the blues
Now baby, come on over you got nothin' to lose,
Are you ready, hey, hey, hey are you ready
Ooh, ooh, ooh, are you ready
I wanna show you how to rock and roll.
Now listen here baby she, said to me
Just, meet me at the opera house at a quarter to three,
'Cos I'm ready, yea, yea, yea, I'm ready,
Woo, hoo, hoo, I'm ready,
I'm gonna show you how to sing the blues.
D5 B5 F#5 A5
Far, far away the music is playing.
D5 E5
Well we were reelin' and a rockin' all through the night,
Yea we were rockin' at the opera house until the break of light,
And the orchestra were playin' all Chuck Berry's greatest tunes.
And the singers in the chorus all got off on singing blues,
And as the night grew older everybody was as one,
The people on the streets came runnin' in to join in song
Just to hear the opera singer singin' rock & roll so pure,
I thought I saw the mayor there but I wasn't really sure,
D5 B5 F#5 A5 DDDDDDDDD.8-)
But it's alright.
@SONG: MISSION (A World Record)
B5
For many days we travelled from a distant place and time,
F#5
To reach a place they call the planet Earth,
G5 F#5
There was to be a celebration,
B5 A5 A5 G5
On the mission of the sacred heart.
The planet Earth from way up there is beautiful and blue
And floating softly through a rainbow,
But when you touch down things look different here,
At the mission of the sacred heart.
CHORUS
A5 G5 F#5
Watching all the days roll by
B5 G5
Who are you and who am I?
D5 D5 G5
e---2--3--2--0------0
h---3--3--------3----
g---2--2-----------3-
How's life on earth?
Eb5 D5
When all the stars above
Eb5 D5 A5
Rain icy fingers down on me
On a dirty worn-out sidewalk, sits a mother with a baby,
In her vale of tears she sees no rainbow
And someone's singing from a window
In the mission of the sacred heart.
CHORUS -- repeat
There's a building on a corner, in a city, in a land,
On a place they call the planet Earth,
My orders are to sit here and watch the world go by,
From the mission of the sacred heart.
CHORUS -- repeat

Two drifters on the morning sky,
E5 A5 E5 F#5
Two drifters sailing wide and high,
E5 F#5 Ab5 F#5
When summer breezes blow across your mind,
E5 F#5 B5 B5
With you, I will walk the line.
CHORUS
C#5 F#5
I want it so fine
C#5 F#5
I want it so fine
C#5 F#5 A5 E5 C5 G5 D5 A5
I want it so fine
People walking hand in hand,
Everybody's singing to the band,
I want to be where the stars shine bright,
And hear sweet music on a summer night.
CHORUS -- repeat
Sundowners we'll go on and on,
We'll find the land of the midnight sun,
And when you look you'll see for miles around,
You'll see, the world is in your hand.

Making believe this is what you've conceived
From your worst day,
Moving in line when you look back in time
To your first day

Takin' a dive 'cos you can't halt the slide
Floating downstream ,
So let her go don't start spoiling the show
It's a bad dream

I guess it's like a mountain side,
You gotta climb it to the top,
Floating in a sea of dreams
The only thing that you can see
Is the view above the clouds.
I'm waiting here,
But it's alright,
Still it's alright with me,
You better believe me now.

@SONG: DO YA
D5 A5 G5 A5
In this life I've seen everything I can see woman,
D5 A5 G5 A5 etc.
I've seen lovers flying through the air hand in hand
I've seen babies dancing in the midnight sun,
And I've seen dreams that came from the heavenly skies above
I've seen old men crying at their own grave sides
And I've seen pigs all sitting watching, picture slides
G5
But I never seen nothing like you.
CHORUS
D5 A5 G5 GA5
D5 A5 G5 G5 A5
Do ya do ya want my love
Do ya do ya want my face
Do ya do ya want my mind
Do ya do ya want my love
Well I, heard the crowd singin' out of tune,
As they, sat and sang Auld Lang Syne by the light of the moon
I heard the preachers bangin' on the drums,
And I heard the police playin' with their guns
But I never heard nothin' like you.
D5 A5
In the country where the sky touches down
G5 G5
On the field, she lay her down to rest
D Fd Gd
In the morning sun,
They come a'runnin' just to get a look, just to
Feel to touch her long black hair they don't give a damn
CHORUS -- repeat
Well I think you know what I'm trying to say woman,
That is I'd like to save you for a rainy day,
I've seen enough of the world to know,
That I've got to get it all to get it all to grow.
Look out!

Do you do you want my love, Do you do you want my love,

@SONG: SHANGRI-LA
A5 E5
Sitting here, waiting for,
F#5 C#5
Someone calling at my door,
D5 Bm7-5 A5
Too bad, I'm getting out of love.
What's the use of changing things,
Wonder what tomorrow brings,
Who knows,
I'm getting out of love.
CHORUS
A5 D5
My Shangri-la has gone away,
C#5 Gj7
Faded like the Beatles on Hey Jude
A5 D5
She seemed to drift out on the rain
C#5 Gj7
That came in somewhere softly from the blue
Bm7-5 E5 A5 Aj7
I'm getting out of love (where is my Shangri-La?)
Clouds roll by and hide the sun,
Raindrops fall on everyone,
So sad,
I'm getting out of love.
