  • Intro: C F(add D)
     
    C
  • Dirty people take what's mine
    F G
    I can leave them all behind
  • C G/B Am C/G
    They can never cross that line
    F G
  • When I get to the Border
     
    Sawbones standing at the dorr
  • Waiting 'til I hit the floor
    He won't find me anymore
    When I get to the Border
  •  
    G
    Monday morning, monday morning
  • G
    Closing in on me
    G D/F# Em
  • I'm packing up and running away
    C D
    To where nobody picks on me
  •  
    If you see a box of pine
    With a name that looks like mine.
  • Just say I drowned in a barrel of wine.
    When I got to the Border
     
  • A one way ticket's in my hand
    Heading for the chosen land
    My troubles will all turn to sand
  • When I get to the Border
     
    Salty girl with yellow hair
  • Waiting in that rocking chair
    And if I'm weary I won't care
    When I get to the Border
  •  
    Monday morning, monday morning
    Closing in on me
  • I'm packing up and running away
    To where nobody picks on me
     
  • Dusty road will smell so sweet
    Paved with gold beneath my feet
    And I'll be dancing down the street
  • When I get to the Border
    When I get to the Border
     
  • THE CALVARY CROSS
     
    Fabulous guitar intro not transcribed--I'd love to have this
  •  
    F Am G
    F Am
  • G F Am
    I was under the Calvary Cross
    G F Am
  • The pale-face lady she said to me
    G F Am
    I've watched you with my one green eye.
  • G F Am
    And I'll hurt you 'till you need me.
    G F Am
  • You scuff your heels and you spit on your shoes.

    One day you catch a train
    G F Am
  • Never leaves the station.
     
    CHORUS
  • C
    Everything you do
    F (8th fret)
  • Everything you do
    C G
    You do for me
  •  
    Now you can make believe on your tin whistle
    You can be my broom boy
  • Scrub me 'till I shine in the dark
    I'll be your light 'till doomsday
    Black cat cross your path.
  • Why don't you follow
    My claw's in you and my light's in you
    This is your first day of sorrow
  •  
    CHORUS
     
  • WITHERED AND DIED
     
    C F
  • This cruel country has driven me down
    G C F G
    Teased me and lied, teased me and lied
  • C F
    I've only sad stories to tell to this town
    G C
  • My dreams have withered and died
     
    F C Dm
  • Once I was bending the tops of the trees
    C Dm Am G
    Kind words in my ear, kind faces to see
  •  
    Then I struck up with a boy from the West,
    Played run and hide, played run and hide.
  • Count one to ten and he's gone with the rest
    My dreams have withered and died
     
  • Silver moon sail up and silver moon shine
    On the waters so wide, waters so wide
    Steal from the bed of some good friend of mine
  • My dreams have withered and died
     
    If I was a butterfly lived for a day
  • Then I could be free just blowing away
     
    This cruel country has driven me down
  • Teased me and lied, teased me and lied
    I've only sad stories to tell to this town
    My dreams have withered and dies
  •

    I want to see the bright lights tonight
     
  • CHORUS
     
    A couple of drunken nights rolling on the floor

    DOWN WHERE THE DRUNKARDS ROLL
     
  • (capo 3rd fret to play with record. Song is recorded in Bb,
    but written here in G)
     
  • G
    See the boys out walking
    C G
  • The boys who look so fine
    C G
    Dressed up in green velvet

    Their silver buckles shine
    G
  • Soon they'll be bleary-eyed
    D C
    Under a keg of wine
  •  
    CHORUS
    C/G D
  • Down where the drunkards roll
    C/G D
    Down where the drunkards roll
  •  
    See that lover standing
    Staring at the ground
  • He's looking for the real thing
    Lies were all he found
    You can get the real thing
  • It will only cost a pound
     
    There goes a troubled woman
  • She dreams a troubled dream
    She lives out on the highway
    She keeps her money clean
  • Soon she'll be returning
    To the place where she's the queen
     
  • You can be a gambler
    Who never drew a hand
    You can be a sailor
  • Who never left dry land
    You can be lord Jesus
    All the world will understand
  •  
    WE SING HALLELUJAH
     
  • Intro A E A Asus E
     
    A E
  • A man is like a rusty wheel
    A E
    On a rusty cart
  • A E/G# F#m D E
    He sings his song as he rattles along
    D E A
  • and then he falls apart.
     
    CHORUS
  • A E
    And We'll sing hallelujah
    A E
  • At the turning of the year
    A E/G# F#m D E
    And we work all day in the old fashioned way
  • D E A
    'Til the shining star appears
     
  • A man is like a briar
    He covers himself with thorns
    he laughs like a clown when his fortunes are down
  • And his clothes are ragged and torn
     
    CHORUS
  •  
    A man is like a three string fiddle
    Hanging on the wall.
  • He plays when somebody scrapes on the bow
    Or he can't play at all.
     
  • CHORUS
     
    A man is like his father
  • Wishes he'd never been born.
    He longs for the time when the clock bell will chime
    And he's dead for evermore.
  •  
    CHORUS
     
  • HAS HE GOT A FRIEND FOR ME?
     
    (capo 3rd fret to play with record, chords are written in G, song
  • recorded in Bb)
    Intro
    Am F C G
  • C G
    Saturday Night and I'm all alone.
    D Am
  • No ring on the door bell no ring on the phone
    Em D C G Am Dm C G
    And nobody wants to know anyone lonely like me.
  •  
    Your boy friend's good looking, he's got it all there.
    It looks like God made him with something to spare
  • You look good together,
    Scurrying off down the street
     
  • CHORUS
    D
    Has he got a friend,
  • C G
    Has he got a friend for me?
    C
  • Has he got a friend,
    D G
    Has he got a friend for me?
  •  
    He's got the haunt of the sea in his eyes
    He wouldn't notice me passing by.
  • I could be in the gutter or dangling down from a tree
     
    If you know someone who's graceful and wise.
  • Doesn't mind girls who are clumsy and shy.
    I don't mind going with someone that I've never seen.

    I'll play on my accordion, my father gave to me
    For it's well worth it all to please a gent such as thee
  •  
    For I'm only a poor little beggar girl

  • I've been down to London, I've been up to Crew
    I travel far and wide to do the work that I do

  •  
    For I'm only a poor little beggar girl
    Yes I'm only a poor little beggar girl
  • Cause I love taking money off a snob like you
    That I'm only a poor little beggar girl
     
  • Oh the poor they will be rich and the rich they will be poor
    That's according to Saul when he wrote down the law
    And I'd much rather be rich after than before
  •  
    For I'm only a poor little beggar girl
    Yes I'm only a poor little beggar girl
  • And I'd much rather be rich after than before
    For I'm only a poor little beggar girl
     
  • If the words of my song do your conscience alarm
    Just remember generosity is like a lucky charm
    If you give me your money, it'll do you no harm
  •  
    For I'm only a poor little beggar girl
    Yes I'm only a poor little beggar girl
  • If you give me your money, it'll do you no harm
    For I'm only a poor little beggar girl
     
  • THE END OF THE RAINBOW
    Richard Thompson
    Transcribed by Phil Saunders
  • (Capo 3rd fret, recorded in Cm, transcribed in Am)
     
    Am F
  • I feel for you, you little horror
    Dm G
    Safe at your mother's breast
  • Dm Am F G
    No lucky break for you around the corner
    Am Am/G F
  • 'Cause your father is a bully
    Dm G
    And he thinks that you're a pest
  • C(?) F C Am
    And your sister she's no better than a whore.
     
  • Dm Am F G
    Life seems so rosy in the cradle,
    Am G F G
  • But I'll be a friend I'll tell you what's in store
    Dm Am F G
    There's nothing at the end of the rainbow.
  • Am G F G
    There's nothing to grow up for anymore
     
  • Tycoons and barrow boys will rob you
    And throw you on the side
    And all because they love themselves sincerely
  • And the man hold a bread knife
    Up to you throat it's four feet wide
    And he's anxious just to show you what it's for.
  •  
    Your mother works so hard to make you happy
    But take a look outside your nursery door
  • There's nothing at the end of the rainbow.
    There's nothing to grow up for anymore
     
  • All the sad and empty faces
    That pass you in the street
    All running in their sleep, all in a dream
  • Every loving handshake
    Is just another man to beat
    How your heart aches just to cut hiom to the core
  •  
    Life seems so rosy in the cradle,
    But I'll be a friend I'll tell you what's in store
  • There's nothing at the end of the rainbow.
    There's nothing to grow up for anymore

    Am Em7b5/Bb
  • High up above the crowd
    Am Dm/A
    The great Valerio is walking
  • Am7(9) Em7b5/Bb Gm7b5/Bb
    The rope seems hung from cloud to cloud
    Am G7
  • And time stands still while he is walking
    F6 G/F Am
    His eye is steady on the target
  • F6 G7 C E7aug
    His foot is sure upon the rope.
    Am9 Dm9
  • Alone and peaceful as a mountain
    Em7b5/Bb E7aug Am9
    And certain as the mountain slope
  •  
    CHORUS
    B7 C F
  • How we wonder, how we wonder
    G C F
    Watching far below
  • Am7 Dm9
    We would all be that great hero,
    Em7b5/Bb E7+ Am
  • The great Valerio
     
    We falter at the sight
  • We stumble in the mire
    Fools who think they see the light
    Prepare to balance on the wire
  • But we learn to watch together
    And feed on what we see above
    until our heart turn like the seaons
  • And we are acrobats of love
     
    Come all you upstart jugglers
  • Are you really ready yet?
    Who will help the tightrope walker,
    When he stumbles to the net?
  • So come with me to see Valerio
    As he dances through the air
    I'm your friend until you use me
  • And then be sure I want be there.
