‘Bout a ghost from a wish-ing well

And I will nev-er be set free,

As long as I’m a ghost that you can’t see

If I could read your mind, love
What a tale your thoughts could tell
Just like a pap-er-back nov-el
The kind the drug-store sells
Then you reached the part
Where the heart-aches come
The he-ro would be me.
But he-ros of-ten fail
And you won’t read the book a-gain
Be-cause the end-ing just to hard to take

En-ter num-ber two: a mov-ie queen

To play the scene of bring-ing all

The good things out of me

If Wishes Were Horses

SPOKEN
Just after midnight, on Spencer Street station,
I’d missed the last train, he sat down, beside me,
His eyes, bright, with fever,
Too many nights, in the rain.
I rolled him, a smoke, he took it and spoke,
In a voice, aged by winter’s wine,
He said, “Son, when you’re older,
Cold nights, get colder,
Alone, on the shoulder’s, of time”.

7 7 7 7
“Cit-y’s no place,
-7 -6 6 4 -4 5
For old dro-vers”, he cried,
4 6 6 6 -6
“The dam-per is wrapped,
6 6 -6 6 5 6
And the rent’s, way too high,
5 7 7 7 7 7 -7
I’d love to see, The Al-ice,
-6 6 5 -5 6
Once more ‘fore I die,
3 -5 -5 5 -3 3
If wish-es, were hors-es,
4 -4 4 -3 3
Old dro-vers, would ride”.

SPOKEN
He worked, walked & wandered,
From Cairns to Coonamble,
Since leavin’ The Alice behind,
To follow a lady, there’s always a lady,
In the midst, of an old drover’s mind,
His words took me rovin’, from shearin’ to drovin’
Battlin’ the wets & the drys,
Two-up, & tent fights, tall tales on hot nights,
Australia, looked, right through his eyes.

“City’s no place, for old drovers, to ride,
You can’t, boil, the billy,
And there’s, no place, to hide,
I’d love to see, The Alice, once more ‘fore I die,
If wishes were horses, old drovers, would ride”.

SPOKEN
I watched while his soul,
Slipped away from his body,
And the years, seemed to melt, from his face,
And I whispered a prayer, he was headed for Alice,
Back, in the saddle, again.

City’s no place for old drovers to die,
They should be in the bush,
Where there their spirits can fly,
And meet their last sunset,
‘neath the red desert sky,
If wishes were horses, old drivers would ride,
Old drovers would ride.

IF We Only Have Love

1 -1 2 -1 2 1
If we on-ly have love
1 -1 2 -1 2 1
then to-mor-row will dawn
-1 2 -2 2 -2 -1
And the days of our years
-1 -1 -1 1 -1
will rise on that morn
1 -1 2 -1 2 1
If we on-ly have love
1 -1 2 -1 2 1
to em-brace with-out fears
-1 2 -2 2 -2 -1
We will kiss with our eyes,
-1 -1 -1 -1 1 1
we will sleep with-out tears

1 -1 2 -1 2 1
If we on-ly have love,
1 -1 2 -1 2 1
we can reach those in pain
-1 2 -2 2 -2 -1
We can heal all our wounds,
-1 -1 -1 -1 1 -1
we can use our own names
1 -1 2 -1 2 1
If we on-ly have love,
1 -1 2 -1 2 1
we can melt all the guns
-1 2 -2 2 -2 -1
And then give the new world
-1 -1 -1 -1 1 1
to our daugh-ters and sons

2 2 2 3* -4 -3
If we on-ly have love
2 2 2 3* -4 -3
with our arms o-pened wide
-3 -3 -3 -3 3 3
Then the young and the old
-1 -1 3 -2 3
will stand at our side
2 2 2 3* -4 -3
If we on-ly have love,
2 2 2 3* -4 -3
we will nev-er bow down
-3 -3 -3 -3 -3 -4
We’ll be tall as the pines
-4 -4 -4 -5 5 -4
Neith-er her-oes nor clowns

4 4 4 -4 4 4
If we on-ly have love
4 4 4 -4 4 4
Then we’ll on-ly be men
-5 -5 -5 -5 5 -5
And we’ll drink from the grail
-5 -5 -5 -5 5 5
to be born once a-gain

-3 3* -3 3* -3 3*
then with noth-ing at all
-3 3* -3 3* -3 3*
but the lit-tle we are
4 4 4 -4 4 -5
we’ll have con-quered all time

Warm our hearts ev’ry one.

If we hold on together

As high as souls can fly
The clouds roll by for you and I.

But I’m gonna wave my freak flag high, high.

Fall mountains, just don’t fall on me
Go ahead on Mr. Business man, you can’t dress like me.

Nobody know what i’m talkin’ about.
i’ve got my own life to live
i’m the one that’s going to have to die
when it’s time for me to die.
So let me live my life,
the way i want to
Yeah.

If Tomorrow Never Comes!!

Hey Y’all its TIN MAN again giving you
Even more country greats!!
Where would country music be if we don’t
Acknowledge the old timers! That influenced
Our modern day superstars!!!

I often have to defend country music and even
Have to teach people that say they hate country
But in fact they love it they just don’t know
certain songs are country
or that country hits have been taken and remade
so follow this series of tabs with me people and
get an edumacayshon of Cuntry mewsik folks!!

This song was a country smash back in the 80’s for its
ORIGINAL ARTIST GARTH BROOKS as you will soon
Learn this isn’t the first song he did to be redone and
Made successful yet again by other groups in other musical
Genres enough of my ranting here it is!!!

YOUR GONNA NEED A G HARP TO PLAY THIS!!!

DON’T FORGET TO VOTE AND ADD TO FAVOURITES!!!

5 -4 4 -3 4
Some-times late at night

3 3 4 -4 4 4 -3 -3 3
I lie a-wake and watch her sleep-ing

-4 -4 -6 -4 5 -5
She’s lost in peace-ful dreams

-4 4 4 4 -3 -3 3 4 4 -3 3 3
So I turn off the lights & lay there in the dark

4 -4 5 -4 4 -3 3
And the thought cross-es my mind

-1 -3 -3 4 -4 4 4 -3 -3b -2
If I nev-er wake up in the morn-ing

-4 -4 -4 5 -5 4 4 -3 -3
Would she ev-er doubt the way I feel

-3b -3b -2 -3b 4 -4
a- bout her in my heart

(CHORUS)

4 -4 5 6 -5 5 -3b
If to-mor-row nev-er comes

-5 -5 -5 -5 -5 6 6 5
Will she know how much I loved her

5 5 -5 5 -4 4 -4 -2 -5 5 -4 4 -4
Did I try in ev-ry way to show her ev-ry day

-2 -2 -5 -5 6 5
That she’s my on-ly one

-2 4 -4 5 6 -5 5 -3b
and If my time on earth were through

-2b -5 -5 -5 -5 6 6 6 5
And she must face the world with-out me

5 5 5 5 -5 5 -4 4 4
Is the love I gave her in the past

4 4 -5 5 -4 4 -4
Gon-na be e-nough to last

-2 -2 -5 5 -4 4 -4
If to-mor-row nev-er comes

-2 5 5 -5 5 -4 4 4
‘Cause I’ve lost loved ones in my life

VERSE 2 plays as verse 1

Who nev-er knew how much I loved them
Now I live with the re-gret
That my true feel-ings for them
Nev-er were re-vealed
So I made a promise to my-self
To say each day how much she means to me
And avoid that cir-cum-stance
Where there’s no second chance
To tell her how I feel

(CHORUS)

-2 5 5 -5 5 -4 4 -4
So tell that some-one that you love

4 -5 5 -4 4 -4
Just what your think-ing of

-2 -2 -5 5 -4 4 -4
If to-mor-row nev-er comes

ENJOY!!!!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!




If They Loved You

refrain

they say you never fall out of love
5 6 5 4 5 6 5
if he you loved, loved you too

and I dont know if you did
6 5 4 3 4 5 4-hold last note
but i hope some day you do.
verse1
5 6 5 4 5
torn between to souls
6 5 4 4 5
how will i decide
5 4 5 6 5 4
choose one and be ok
4 5 4 4 5 4 4
or choose you and never die.
verse2
6 5 4 4 5
with you the time stops
5 4 5 6 5 4
yet it goes by so fast
4 5 5 4 4 5 6 5 4 4
i look into your eyes, beutiful eyes
4 5 5 5 4 5 4 5 4
hoping my feelings will always last.

If I Were A Rich Man

W: Sheldon Harnick
M: Jerry Bock
Key:C

7 -6 7 -6 6 5
If I were a rich man,
6 -6 7 -6 7 -6
Ya ha dee-dle dee-dle,
6 -6 7 -7 -7* -7 -7* -7 7
Bub-ba bub-ba dee-dle dee-dle dum.
7* 7 -6* -6 -5* -5 5 -5 -5*
All day long I’d bid-dy bid-dy bum.
-5*-5 5 -5 -5* 5 7
If I were a wealth-y man.
7 -6 7 -6 6 5
Would-n’t have to work hard.
6 -6 7 -6 7 -6
Ya ha dee-dle dee-dle,
6 -6 7 -7 -7* -7 -7* -7 7
Bub-ba bub-ba dee-dle dee-dle dum.
7* 7 -6* -6 -5* -5 5 -5 -5*
If I were a bid-dy bid-dy rich,
-5* -5 5 -5* -5 5 -4 -5 5
Yid-le-did-dle-did-le-did-le man.

6 -6 7 7* 7* 7*
I’d build a big tall house
7* 7* -7* 8 -7* 7*
with rooms by the doz-en,
7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7
Right in the mid-dle of the town.
7 -6 -6 -6 -6
A fine tin roof with
-6 7 7* 7 -6 6
real wood-en floors be-low.
6 -6 7 7* 7* 7* 7*
There would be one long stair-case
7* -7* 8 -7*
just go-ing up,
7* 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7
And one e-ven long-er com-ing down,
7 -6 -6 -6 -6 -5* -5
And one more lead-ing no-where,
5 -5* 7
just for show.

6 -6 7 -7 -7 -7
I’d fill my yard with chicks
-7 -7 -8 8 -8 -7 7
and tur-keys and geese and ducks
7 7 7 7 7 7 7
For the town to see and hear.
-6 -6 -6 -6 6 7 -7 7 -6 6
Squawk-ing just as nois-i-ly as they can.
6 -6 7 7* 7* 7*
And each loud “cheep” and “squawk”
7* 7* -7* 8 -7*
and �gob-ble and “honk”
7* 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7
Would land like a trum-pet on the ear,
7 -6 -6 -6 -6 -5* -5 5 -5* 7
As if to say “Here lives a wealth-y man.”

If I were a rich man,
Ya ha deedle deedle,
-bubba bubba deedle deedle dum.
All day long I’d biddy biddy bum.
If I were a wealthy man.
I wouldn’t have to work hard.
Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum.
If I were a biddy biddy rich,
Yidle-diddle-didle-didle man.

I see my wife, my Golde, looking like a rich man’s wife
With a proper double-chin.
Supervising meals to her heart’s delight.
I see her putting on airs and strutting like a peacock.
Oy, what a happy mood she’s in.
Screaming at the servants, day and night.

The most important men in town would come to fawn on me!
They would ask me to advise them,
Like a Solomon the Wise.
“If you please, Reb Tevye…”
“Pardon me, Reb Tevye…”
Posing problems that would cross a rabbi’s eyes!
And it won’t make one bit of difference if i answer right or wrong.
When you’re rich, they think you really know!

If I were rich, I’d have the time that I lack
To sit in the synagogue and pray.
And maybe have a seat by the Eastern wall.
And I’d discuss the holy books with the learned men, several hours
every day.
That would be the sweetest thing of all.

If I were a rich man,
Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum.
All day long I’d biddy biddy bum.
If I were a wealthy man.
I wouldn’t have to work hard.
Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum.
(Delete)If I were a biddy biddy rich,
Yidle-diddle-didle-didle man.
Lord who made the lion and the lamb,
You decreed I should be what I am.
Would it spoil some vast eternal plan?
If I were a wealthy man.

If I were a miller at a mill wheel grinding
Would you miss your coloured box
Your soft shoes shining?
REPEAT CHORUS

If I Were a Boy

-4 -4 5 -5 -6 -6 -6 -7 -6 6 -5 -4 -4
If I were a boy e-ven just for a day I’d roll
-4 5 -5 -5 6 -5 5 -4 -5 -5 -5 6
out of bed in the morning and throw on what I
-5 5 -4 -4 -4 -4 5 -5 -6 -6
wanted and go drink beer with the guys and
-7 -6 6 -5 -4 5 -5 -5 -5 6 -5 5
chase after girls I’d kick it with who I wanted
-4 5 -5 -5 -5 6 -5 5 -4 -4 -4 -5
and I’d never get confronted for it because
-4 5 -5 5 -4 -8 -8 8 -9 -10 -10
they’d stick up for me if I were a boy I
-10 -10 10 -10 9 -9 -8 8 -9 -9 -9
think I could understand how it feels to love
9 -9 8 -8 -9 -9 -9 9 -10 -9 8 -8 -8

listen to her cause I know how it hurts when
8 -9 -9 -9 9 -9 8 -8 8 -9 -9 -9
you lose the one you wanted cause he’s taken you
9 -9 8 8 -9 -9 -9 9 -9 8 -8 -8
for granted and everything you had got destroyed
-4 -4 5 -5 6 -6 -6 -7 -6 6 -5
If I were a boy I would turn off the phone
-5 -5 6 6 -5 5 -4 -4 -5 -5 -5
tell everyone it is broken so they think that I
6 -5 5 -4 -4 5 -5 -6 -6 -7
was sleeping alone I’d put myself first and make
-6 6 -5 -5 -5 -4 5 -5 -5 -5 6
the rules as I go cause I know that she’ll be
-5 5 -5 6 6 -5 5 -4 -4 -4 -5
faithful waiting for me to come home because
-4 5 -5 5 -4 -8 -8 8 -9 -10 -10

understand) how it feels to love a girl someday
5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -6 -5 5 -4 -8 -8
you’ll wish you were a better man you don’t

If I Were A Bell

By: Frank Loesser

-3 -3 -3 -2-2 -2
Ask me how do I feel
-3 -3 -3 -2 -2
Ask me now that we’re
-3 -2 -2 -3 1
Co-sy and cling-ing
4 4 4 -3 -3 -3
Well sir, all I can say,
4 4 4 -3 -3 4 -3 -3 -5 3
is if I were a bell I’d be ring-ing!

-3 3 -2 -2 -2 -2 -2 -3*
From the mo-ment we kissed to-night
-3 3 -2 -2 -2 -2 -2 -2 4
That’s the way I’ve just got-ta be-have
-3 3 -2 -2 -2 -2 -2 -5
Boy, if I were a lamp I’d light
5 -5 6 5* -5 6 5* -5 6
Or If I were a ban-ner I’d wave!

-3 -3 -3 -2-2 -2
Ask me how do I feel,
-3 -3 -3 -2 -2 -3 -2 -2 -3 1
Lit-tle me with my qui-et up-bring-ing
4 4 4 -3 -3 -3 4 4
Well sir, all I can say is if
4 -3 -3 4 -3 -3 -5 3
I were a gate I’d be swing-ing!
-3 3 -2 -2 -2 -2
And if I were a watch
-2 -3* -5 -4 -5 4
I’d start pop-ping my springs!

-3 -3-3 -2 -2 -3 -2 -2
Or if I were a bell I’d go
6 5 -3 -1 -2
ding dong, ding dong ding!

Ask me how do I feel from this
Chem-is-try les-son I’m learn-ing.

Well sir, all I can say is if

I were a bridge I’d be burning!

Yes, I knew my moral would crack
From the wonderful way that you looked!
Boy, if I were a duck I’d quack!
Or if I were a goose I’d be cooked!

Ask me how do I feel, ask me now
that we’re fondly caressing
Well, if I were a salad
I know I’d be splashing my dressing
Ask me how to describe
this whole beautiful thing
Well, if I were a bell I’d go
ding dong, ding dong ding!
