Goin' to Acapulco

    G                    D
I'm going down to Rose Marie's
C                  G
 She never does me wrong.
    G             D
She puts it to me plain as day
C                         G
 And gives it to me for a song.
       G               G7
It's a wicked life but what the hell
      C                  Am
[and] everybody's got to eat
        G                D
And I'm just the same as anyone else
                C                  Am
When it comes to scratching for my meals *)
G              C
Goin' to Acapulco
G            F
Goin' on the run.

Cold Irons Bound


Time out of Mind version

Capo 6th fret (original key Bb major).
The Bbdim is only a faint approximation to the wealth of notes sounding at this point (and never twice the same, it seems). A chord like x12300 or x12202 captures that fairly well, but there are really no correct chords here!
The same goes for the other two chords basically tonic, fifth and a lot of blue notes.

The Man in Me

Album version

This is a piano song, and he prefers to play these on the black keys, hence the original key is Ab major. On a guitar this suggests a capo on the 1st fret, with the following chords:

Tell Me

E   B   E   B

     E               B
Tell me, I've got to know.
     E                    B
Tell me, tell me before I go.
          A
Does that fire still burn? Does that flame still glow?
   E
Or has it died out and melted like the snow.
     B        E     (E7)
Tell me. Tell me.
Tell me, what are you focused upon?
Tell me, will it come to me after you're gone? *)
Tell me now with a glance or a sigh.
Shall I hold you close or let you go by?
Tell me. Tell me.

Farewell Angelina

C

    C        Fmaj7 C
Farewell Angeli  - na
    Fmaj7        C
The bells of the crown
          C         Fmaj7 C
Are being stolen by ban - dits
       Fmaj7      C
I must follow the sound
    C
The triangle tingles
    Fmaj7      C
the music play slow
        C        Am
But farewell Angelina
    C           Em/b
The night is on fire
F          C      Csus4 C
And I must go.

         C
There is no use in talkin'
            Fmaj7       C     Fmaj7 C
and there's no need for blame

There is nothing to prove,
     Fmaj7              C     Fmaj7 C
