the years just flow by like a broken-down dam.

AND IT STONED ME by Van Morrison
G D C G
Half a mile from the county fair, and the rain came pouring down
G D C G
Me and Billy standing there with a silver half a crown
G D C G
Hands full of fishing gear, and the tackle on our backs
G D C G
We just stood there getting wet, with our backs against the fence
CHORUS
Am D Am D Am D
Oh, the water, Oh, the water, Oh, the water
D
Let it run all over me
G C G
And it stoned me to my soul
G D
Stoned me just like jelly roll
Em G
And it stoned me
G C G
And it stoned me to my soul
G D
Stoned me just going home
Em G
And it stoned me
And the rain let up, and the sun came out, we were getting dry
Almost glad a pickup truck nearly passed us by
So we jumped right in and the driver grinned and he dropped us up the road
We looked at the swim, and we jumped right in not to mention fishing poles
CHORUS
On the way back home we sang a song, but our throats were getting dry
Then we saw the man from across the road with the sunshine in his eyes
Well he lived all alone in his own little home with a great big
gallon jar
There were bottles too, one for me and you, and he said “Hey there you are”
CHORUS
G D C G
When I woke up this morning, things were lookin’ bad
C G D G
seems like total silence is the only friend I have
D C G C G
a bowl of oatmeal tried to stare me down… and won
D C G C G
and it was twelve o’clock before I realized that I was havin’ no fun
{chorus}
D G C D G
but fortunately I have the key to escape reality
step up to) C G
and you may see me tonight with an illegal smile
D G
it don’t cost very much, but it lasts a long while
(step up to) C G
won’t you please tell the man I didn’t kill anyone
D C G
no I was just tryin’ to have me some fun
G D C G
last time I checked my bankroll, well it was gettin’ thin
C G D G
sometimes it seems like the bottom is the only place I’ve been
D C G C G
chased a rainbow down a one-way street… dead end
D C G C G
and all my friends turned out to be insurance salesmen
Chorus
G D C G
I sat down in my closet with all my overalls
C G D G
just tryin’ to get away from all the years inside these walls
D C G C G
dreamed the police heard everything I thought… what then?
D C G C G
well I went to court and the judge’s name was Hoffman
Chorus

But how it got here I haven’t a clue
CHORUS

Cut my heel had to cruise on back home

That frozen concotion that helps me hang on
CHORUS

Some people say that there’s a woman to blame

Muhlenberg County- by John Prine
C F C
When I was a child my family would travel
C G C
Down to Western Kentucky where my parents were born
C F C
And there’s a backwards old town that’s often remembered
C G C
So many times that my memories are worn.
C F C
And daddy won’t you take me back to Muhlenberg County
C G C
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay
C F C
Well, I’m sorry my son, but you’re too late in asking
C G C
Mister Peabody’s coal train has hauled it away
Well sometimes we’d travel right down the Green River
To the abandoned old prison down by Adrie Hill
Where the air smelled like snakes and we’d shoot with our pistols
But empty pop bottles was all we would kill.
And daddy won’t you take me back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay
Well, I’m sorry my son, but you’re too late in asking
Mister Peabody’s coal train has hauled it away
Then the coal company came with the world’s largest shovel
And they tortured the timber and stripped all the land
Well, they dug for their coal till the land was forsaken
Then they wrote it all down as the progress of man.
And daddy won’t you take me back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay
Well, I’m sorry my son, but you’re too late in asking
Mister Peabody’s coal train has hauled it away
When I die let my ashes float down the Green River
Let my soul roll on up to the Rochester dam
I’ll be halfway to Heaven with Paradise waiting
Just five miles away from wherever I am.
And daddy won’t you take me back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay
Well, I’m sorry my son, but you’re too late in asking
Mister Peabody’s coal train has hauled it away

As we marched down to Fennario

Our captain fell in love with a lady like a dove

And the name she was called was pretty Peggy-O
Won’t you come and go with me, pretty Peggy-O? (x2)
In coaches you shall ride with your true love by your side
Just as grand as any lady in the are-o
What would your mother think, pretty Peggy-O? (x2)
What would your mother think for to hear the guineas clink
And the soldiers all marching before you?
You’re the man that I adore, sweet William-O (x2)
You’re the man that I adore, but your fortune is too low
I’m afraid that my mother would be angry-o
Come tripping down the stairs, pretty Peggy-O (x2)
Come tripping down the stairs and tie up your yellow hair
Bid a last farewell to sweet William-O
If ever I return, pretty Peggy-O (x2)
If ever I return then the city I shall burn
And destroy all the ladies in the are-o
Our captain he is dead, pretty Peggy-O (x2)
Our captain he is dead, and he died for a maid
And he’s buried in Louisiana county-o.

And the Stanley boys are able
First class boatmen, every man
Now the trouble with old salmon
You don’t try her in a wood boat
For the canyon is really rocky
They roll your head right off your shoulder.
Away and to the Westward
Is a Place a man should go
Where the fishin’s always easy
They aint got no ice or snow
The girls of Stanley
They are strong across the shoulder
They don’t give a man advice
They don’t want to cook his supper

Repeat first stanza
Stewball by Peter, Paul and Mary
[D] [G] [A]
Old Stewball was a [D]racehorse,
And I wish he were [Em]mine.
He never drank [A]water,
He only drank [D]wine.[G] [A]
His bridle was [D]silver,
And his mane it was gold,
And the worth of his saddle
Has never been told.
Oh the fairgrounds were crowded,
And Stewball was there,
But the betting was heavy
On the bay and the mare.
As they were approaching,
About half way around,
The gray mare she stumbled
and fell to the ground.
And away out yonder,
Ahead of them all,
Came A-prancing and A-dancing,
My noble Stewball.
I bet on the gray mare
And I bet on the bay.
If I’d bet on old Stewball
I’d be a free man today.
Oh the hoot owl she hollers,
And the turtle dove moans.
I’m a poor boy in trouble.
I’m a long way from home.
Old Stewball was a racehorse,
And I wish he were mine.
He never drank water,
He only drank wine.

Tennessee Stud by Johnny Cash
A
Back about eighteen and twenty-five
G
I left Tennessee very much alive
A
I never would’ve made it through the Arkansas mud
E A
If I hadn’t been riding on the Tennessee Stud
A
Had some trouble with my sweetheart’s Pa
G
One of her brothers was a bad outlaw
A
I wrote a letter to my Uncle Fudd
E A
And I rode away on the Tennessee Stud
| A G A
|The Tennessee Stud was long and lean
| D C E
|The color of the sun and his eyes were green
|A
|He had the nerve and he had the blood
| E A
|There never was a horse like Tennessee Stud
Drifted on down into no man’s land
Across the river called the Rio Grande
Raced my horse with the Spaniard’s foe
Til I got me a skin full of silver and gold
Me and the gambler, we couldn’t agree
We got in a fight over Tennessee
Pulled our guns and he fell with a thud
And I rode away on a Tennessee Stud
{chorus}
I rode right back across Arkansas
I whupped her brother and I whupped her Pa
I found that girl with the golden hair
She was riding on a Tennessee Mare
Pretty little baby on the cabin floor
Little horse colt playing round the door
I loved the girl with the golden hair
And the Tennessee Stud loves the Tennessee Mare
{chorus}
This Land is Your Land- Woody Guthrie
C G
As I went walking, that ribbon of highway,
D G
I saw above me that endless skyway,
C G
I saw below me that golden valley.
D G
This land was made for you and me.
This land is your land, this land is my land,
From California to the New York Island,
From the redwood forest to the Gulf stream waters,
This land was made for you and me.
I’ve roamed and rambled, and I’ve followed my footsteps
To the sunny bright sands of her diamond deserts
And all around me a voice came a-singing
Singing, “This land was made for you and me”
This land is your land, this land is my land,
From California to the New York Island,
From the redwood forest to the Gulf stream waters,
This land was made for you and me.
It was early one morning, and I was a-strolling
With the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting, a voice comes chanting
. . .
This land is your land, this land is my land,
From California to the New York Island,
From the redwood forest to the Gulf stream waters,
This land was made for you and me.
Nobody living can ever stop me
As I go walking my freedom highway
Nobody living can make me turn back
This land was made for you and me
This land is your land, this land is my land,
From California to the New York Island,
From the redwood forest to the Gulf stream waters,
This land was made for you and me.
THOSE WERE THE DAYS by Gene Raskin
Am
Once upon a time there was a tavern,
Dm
where we used to raise a glass or two.
Am
Remember how we laughed away the hours,
H7 E
and dreamed of all the great things we would do.
REF:
Am
Those were the days, my friend,
Dm
we thought they’d never end,
G G7 C
we’d sing and dance for ever and a day;
Dm
We’d live the life we choose,
Am
we,d fight and never lose,
E Am
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days.
Then the busy years went rushing by us.
We lost our starry notions on the way.
If by chance I’d see you in the tavern,
we’d smiled at one another, and we’d say:
REF.
Just tonight I stood before the tavern.
Nothing seemed the way it used to be.
In the glass I saw a strange reflection,
was that lonely person really me?
REF.
Through the door there came familiar laughter.
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh, my friend, we’re older, but no wiser.
For in our hearts the dream are still the same.
REF.
Whiskey in the Jar
Irish folk song played by The Dubliners
Capo 2nd fret
C a
As I was going over the Cork and Kerry Mountains,
F C a
I met with Captain Farrel, and his money he was countin’,
C a
I first produced my pistol, and I than produced my rapier,
F C a
Sayin’: “Stand and deliver for you are a bold deceiver”.
Chorus:
G
Musha ring dum a doo dum a da,
C
Whack for the daddy ol’,
F
Whack for the daddy ol’,
C G C
There’s whiskey in the jar.
I counted out his money and it made a pretty penny,
I put it in my pocket, and I took it home to Jenny,
She sighed, and she swore that she never would deceive me,
But the devil take the women for they never can be easy.
Chorus
I went into my chamber all for to take a slumber,
I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure it was no wonder,
But Jenny drew my charges and she filled them out with water,
Then sent for Captain Farrel, to be ready for the slaughter.
Chorus
‘Twas early in the morning just before I rose to travel,
Up comes a band of footmen and likewise, Captain Farrel,
I first produced my pistol for she stole away my rapier,
But I couldn’t shoot the water, so a prisoner I was taken.
Chorus
Now there’s some take delight in the carriages a rolling
and others take delight in the hurling and the bowling
but I take delight in the juice of the barley
and courting pretty fair maids in the morning bright and early
Chorus
If anyone can aid me ’tis my brother in the army,
If I can find his station, in Cork or in Killarney,
And if he’ll go with me we’ll go roving in Kilkenny,
And I’m sure he’ll treat me better than my old a-sporting Jenny.
Chorus
We Love to Sing on the Salmon River. Here are a few of our favorite songs that we love to play guitar to around the campfire.

You ain’t going nowhere
Bob Dylan
G Am
Clouds so swift, the rain won’t lift
C G
The gates won’t close, the railings froze
Am
Get your mind off wintertime
C G
You ain’t going nowhere
Ooo-wee, ride me high
Tomorrow’s the day my bride’s gonna come
Ooh, ooh, are we gonna fly
Down in the easy chair
I don’t care how many letters they sent
The morning came and the morning went
Pick up your money, pack up your tent,
You ain’t going nowhere
Ooo-wee…
Buy me a flute and a gun that shoots
Tailgates and substitutes
Strap yourself to the tree with roots
You ain’t going nowhere
Ooo-wee…
Gengis Khan he could not keep
All his kings supplied with sleep
We’ll climb that hill no matter how steep
When we get up to it
Ooo-wee…

Rolling home to you.
