I could have told you
      Dbm6      Gb9
She’d hurt you
      Fm7
She’d love you a while
       Bdim
Then desert you
   Bbm7       
If only you’d asked
Eb7sus4      Eb7      Ab   Bb7/Ab  Ab
I could have told you so
             Bb7
I could have saved you

Some crying

September of my Years

A                        
 One day you turn around, 
F/a
 and it's summer
A                          
 Next day you turn around, 
Bm7-5/a
 and it's fall
A                        
 And the springs
         E/g#  
 and the winters of a life time
F#m7      B7               Bm9    E9
 Whatever happened to them all

Sometimes I wonder why I spend 
           Ebm6
the lonely night dreaming of a song.
    Bb6    G             (G+ G)
The melody haunts my reverie,
Cm7       G7              Cm7
 And I am once again with you,
         F
When our love was new,
F+                     Bbmaj7           

Brokedown Palace

G                 Am
Fare thee well my honey
Bb         F            C
 Fare thee well my only true one
G                        Dm
All the birds that were singing
Bb                C      
Have flown except you alone

F
F                               Bb
Going to leave this broke-down palace
F                Dm           Bb          F
 On my hands and knees I will roll, roll, roll
F             Am  Bb               F
Make myself a bed  by the waterside
F           G                  Bb          F

Truckin'

E
Truckin', got my chips cashed in
A
Keep truckin', like the do-dah man
   B
Together, more or less in line
A                         
Just keep truckin' on

E 
E
Arrows of neon and flashing marquees out on Main Street

Chicago, New York, Detroit and it's all on the same street

Your typical city involved in a typical daydream

Hang it up and see what tomorrow brings
E
Dallas, got a soft machine
A
Houston, too close to New Orleans
B  
New York got the ways and means
A
But just won't let you be

If I Was a King

           C          F          G7
If I was a king, I’ll hang in an alley
       F       C               G7
With a hundred stallions after me
               F              G7     C         F        C  G7                          
And if I was a rogue, I would lay in your jaw, mourning Larrow
         F           C     G7 
With the law hangin' after me 
           C               F     G7
I rode six mare, I’ve been on my wagon
    F          C                     G7
And now here I stand with you facin' me

That Old Black Magic

C/e
That old black magic has weaved its spell
                              Dm/f
That old black magic that you weave  so well
                          
Those icy fingers  up and down  my spine
                                 C
Same  old  witchcraft  when your eyes meet mine


Same old tingle that I feel inside
                       F
And then that elevator starts its ride
    F6                 Fm6                 
And down and down   I  go
C/e           D9
Round    and  round I go
Dm7        Fm6             C

I Wish It Would Rain

A
Sunshine, blue skies, please go away

My girl has found another, and gone away
D
With her went my future, my life is filled with gloom
A
Day after day, I stay locked up in my room
          E                  D
I know to you it might sound strange
                    A 
But I wish it would rain

(Oh, how I wish that it would rain)
So badly I wanna go outside
Everyone knows that a man ain't supposed to cry
I got to cry, 'cause crying eases the pain
For this hurt I feel inside
Words could never explain
I just wish it would rain
