    G         /e          /d   /a-b       G                      [etc.]

                                      A            D

G                                     C
I've been havin' some hard travelin', hard ramblin', hard gamblin'

I've been ridin' in fast wheelers, way down the road.

Handsome Molly

      D                    G . D . . .
Oh, I wish I was in London,
                      A
Or some other seaport town;
    D
I'd put my foot on a steamboat,
    G               D    . . .
I'd sail the ocean 'round.
  G                                   D                       G D

Hallelujah

G - Em - G - Em (x2 for intro)

G                    Em
They say there was a secret chord
G                    Em
that David played to please the Lord,
    C                D               G        D
but you don't really care for music, do ya?
   G                   C           D
It goes like this: the fourth, the fifth,
Em                  C
the minor fall, the major lift,
    D               D#o         Em
the baffled king composing Hallelujah
     C           Em          C           G  D G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu - jah.

Case you run into Gypsy Lou
        E                     A        E
She's a ramblin' woman with a ramblin' mind
A       E         B7    E
Leavin' some poor boy behind.
A/c#            E    A E

Well, I seen this whole country through
Just to followin' Gypsy Lou
Seen it up, seen it down
Followin' Gypsy Lou around.

The Grand Coulee Dam

         G                               C
Well the world owns seven wonders as the travellers always tell.
     D                                              G
Some gardens and some towers, I guess you know them well.
    G                             C
But now the greatest wonder is in Uncle Sam's fair land.
     D                                              G
That King Columbia river and the great Grand Coulee Dam.

She come up the Canadian Rockies where the crystal waters glide,
Comes a-roaring down the canyon to meet that salty tide

Goodbye, Holly

G              C          G   
Goodbye Holly, Holly, goodbye.
     G                             C            G  
Your wife's a-gonna miss you, your baby's gonna cry 

Goodbye Holly, Holly, so long.
All your good times they're past now and gone
        
Pat Garrett he shot you with his own .44
He [dropped] you 'cross a table, now you're gone forever more
        
Goodbye Holly, Holly, goodbye.
Your wife's a-gonna miss you you baby's gonna cry
Goodbye Holly, Holly, so long.

        *)            C  Csus4 C     Csus4      C   Csus4 C
and she sailed in the low        and lonesome ocean

and she sailed in the lonesome sea.

There was another ship sailing along the sea

Friend of the Devil

G'    G/f#     C/e  G/d    C          C/b    Am
I lit out from Reno, I was trailed by twenty hounds
G'     G/f#   C/e        G/d         C           C/b   Am
Didn't get to sleep last night 'till the morning came around.
D
 Set out runnin' but I take my time
  Am
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
   D
If I get home before daylight,
  Am                  C       D
I just might get some sleep tonight.
Ran into the devil, babe, he loaned me twenty bills
I spent the night in Utah in a cave up in the hills.
