Bb     Eb    F  Eb             Bb         Eb  F  Eb
 Handy dandy,   controversy surrounds him
         Bb                  Eb
He been around the world and back again
F                Eb              Bb          Eb  F  Eb
Something in the moonlight still hounds him
Bb     Eb   F Eb                  Bb       Eb  F
Handy dandy,  just like sugar and candy

Handy dandy, if every bone in his body was broken he would never admit it
He got an all girl orchestra and when he says
"Strike up the band", they hit it
Handy dandy, handy dandy

Or taken together:

G
 Far away where the soft winds blow
                 C    Eb
Far away from it all
G
 There is a place you go
G     D'        G
Where teardrops fall.

Far away in the stormy night
Far away and over the wall
You are there in the flickering light
Where teardrops fall.

   C
We banged the drum slowly

And played the fife lowly
    G
You know the song in my heart
       C
In the turning of twilight

In the shadows of moonlight
        Cm                     D
You can show me a new place to start.

C#m
What was it you wanted

Tell me again so I'll know

What's happening in there,

What's going on in your show
F#m
What was it you wanted

Could you say it again?
C#m
I'll be back in a minute

You can get it together by then.

E   G#m    C#m

What was it you wanted
You can tell me I'm back
We can start it all over
Get it back on the track
You got my attention
Go ahead speak
What was it you wanted
When you were kissing my cheek?

Was there somebody looking
When you gave me that kiss
Someone there in the shadows
Someone that I might have missed?

C                     F                   Csus4 C
What good am I if I'm like all the rest
     C                     F                 C      F C
If I just turn away when I see how you're dressed
     Am                                  Em
If I shut myself off so I can't hear you cry
F    C    F  C
What good am I ?

What good am I if I know and don't do
If I see and don't say if I look right through you
If I turn a deaf ear to the thunderin' sky
What good am I ?

What good am I while you softly weep
And I hear in my head what you say in your sleep

A world I never knew

Seen a shooting star tonight
And I thought of me
If I was still the same If I ever became

            C
Most of the time
    F
I'm clear focused all around
            C
Most of the time
           F
I can keep both feet on the ground
Am                      F
  I can follow the path,  I can read the sign
Am                   F
  Stay right with it   when the road unwinds
                 C                F
I can handle whatever I stumble upon
             Am             F
