In a coun-try where they turn back time

Don`t both-er ask-ing for ex-pla-na-tions

Well morning comes and you`re still with her
And the bus and the tourists are gone
And you`ve thrown away your choice and lost your
ticket so you have to stay on
But the drumbeat strains of the night
remain in the rhythm of the new born day
You know sometime you`re bound to leave her
but for now you`re gonna
stay in the Year Of The Cat

6 -6 -7 7 -7 7 -7-6 -6 6
On a morning from a Bogart movie
6 -6 -7 7 -7 7 -7 -6 6
In a country where they turn back time
6 -6 -7 7 -7 7 -7
You go strolling through the crowd
-7 8 -7 -6 6 5 6 -7 -6 6 -6
Like Peter Lorre contemplating a crime
-7 -8 8 8 -8 8 -8-7 -8 8
She comes out of the sun in a silk dress
-7 -6 6 -6 -7 7 -7 7 -7 -6 6
Running like a water-color in the rain
-7 -6 6 -6 -7 -7 8-7 -6 6
Don`t bother asking for explanations
5 6 -7 -6 -6 6 -6 -4 -4 -8 -7
She`ll just tell you that she came in The Year Of
-6 -7
The Cat

2.
She doesn`t give you time for questions
As she locks up your arm in hers
And you follow till your sense of which direction
completely disappears
By the blue tiled walls near the market stalls
There`s a hidden door she leads you to
«These days» she says «I feel my life just like a
river running through the Year Of The Cat»
-8 -8 b8 7 -7 -7 -6 6 5 6 8 -8
Well she looks at you so cooly and her eyes shine
6 -6 -7 7 -7 -6 -7 7 -6 -7 7 -7
like the moon in the sea She comes in incens and
-6 -6 6 5 6 8 -8 8 -9 -9 8 -8
patchouli So you take her to find what`s waiting
7 -8 -8 -8 -7 -6 -7
inside the Year Of The Cat

3.
Well morning comes and you`re still with her
And the bus and the tourists are gone
And you`ve thrown away your choice and lost your
ticket so you have to stay on
But the drumbeat strains of the night
remain in the rhythm of the new born day
You know sometime you`re bound to leave her
but for now you`re gonna stay in the Year Of The Cat

Glasweigian version of «she’ll be coming round the mountain»

YE BANKS AND BRAES O�’BONNIE DOON
W: Robert Burns

Key: G, tabbed on a C harp

-4 6 6 -6 -6 -7-8 -7 -6
Ye banks and braes o’ bon-nie Doon
-6 -7-6 6 6 5 -4 -4 5 6 -6
How can ye bloom sae fresh and fair?
-4 6 6 -6 6 -6 -7-8 -7 -6 6
How can ye chaunt, ye lit-tle birds
-6 -7-6 6 6 5 -4 -4 5 6 6
And I sae wear-y full o’ care?
-7 -8 8 -8-7 6 -8 8 -8-7
Ye’ll break my heart, ye warb-ling bird
6 -8-7 6 -8-7 6 8-8 -7 -6
That wan-tons thro’ the flow-‘ring thorn
-4 6 6 -66 -6 -7-8 -7 -6 6
Ye mind me o’ de-part-ed joys
-6 -7-6 6 6 5 -4 -45 6 6
De-part-ed nev-er to re-turn.

Oft hae I roved by bonnie Doon
To see the rose and woodbine twine
And ilka bird sang o’ its love
And fondly sae did I o’ mine
Wi’ lightsome heart I pu’d a rose
Full sweet upon its thorny tree
And my fause lover stole my rose
But ah! he left the thorn wi’ me.

Du hast Glück, es geht Dir gut, doch ein Dichter hat geschrieben:

Alles Schöne, was wir lieben, muss vergehn.

Ja, das Unglück schreitet schnell, schon siehst Du am Tag Gespenster,

graue Schatten vor dem Fenster, doch Du weisst

Überall blühen Rosen, überall blühen Rosen, überall blühen Rosen für
Dich.

Du bist jung und meinst, Du kennst, was die Leute «Leben» nennen,
wie sie jagen, wie sie rennen nach dem Geld!
Und Du willst nicht sein wie sie, nicht die selben Fehler machen,
eines Tages wirst Du lachen über Dich.
Überall blühen Rosen, überall blühen Rosen, überall blühen Rosen für
Dich.

6 -5 5 5 5 -5 6 -6 6 -5 6 -6 -7 7 4
Und Du denkst so gern zurück an der Jugend Blütenträume.
-6 6 -5 6 -6 -7 7 4 -7 7 -8
Deine Träume waren Schäume, sind dahin.
6 -5 5 5 5 -5 6 -6 6 -5 6 -6 -7 7 4
Du siehst ein, Dein kleines Glück lebt von tausend Kompromissen.

Manchmal geh ich meine Strasse ohne Blick

5 6 -6 6 6 5 5 -4 -4 -4 -4
Manchmal wünsch ich mir mein Schaukelpferd zurück

-4 -4 -5 -5 -5 -5 5 4 -3
Manchmal schliess ich alle Türen zu

5 6 -6 6 6 -4 5 4 5
Manchmal ist mir kalt und manchmal heiss

5 6 -6 6 6 5 5 -4 -4
Manchmal weiss ich nicht mehr was ich weiss

-4 -4 -5 -5 -5 -5 5 4 -3
Manchmal bin ich schon am morgen müd

-5 -5 -5 6 5 5 -4-4 4
und dann such ich trost in einem Lied

Refrain

4 4 -4 -4 5 5 5 5 -4
über sieben Brücken musst du gehn

-4 -4 5 6 -6 6 5 4 -4
sieben dunkle Jahre überstehen

-4 -4 -4 -4 5 5 5 4 -3
sieben mal wirst du die Asche sein

-4 5 -5 -5 -5 -5 6 5 -4 4
aber einmal auch der helle Schein

Text
Manchmal scheint die Uhr des Lebens still zu
stehn

Manchmal scheint man immer nur im kreis zu gehn

Manchmal ist man wie vom Fernweh krank

Manchmal sitzt man still auf einer Bank

Manchmal greift man nach der ganzen Welt

Manchmal meint man, das der Glücksstern fällt

Manchmal nimmt man, wo man lieber gibt

Manchmal hasst man das, was doch liebt

Meine Augen haben schon Jenen winz’gen Punkt verloren
Nur von fern’ klingt monoton Das Summen der Motoren

Über den Wolken …….

Dann ist alles still, ich geh’ Regen durchdringt meine Jacke
Irgendjemand kocht Kaffee In der Luftaufsichtsbaracke
In den Pfützen schwimmt Benzin Schillernd wie ein Regenbogen
Wolken spiegeln sich darin Ich wär’ gern mitgeflogen

Über den Wolken ……

I’m the kid that’s all the candy.

I’m a Yankee Doodle Dandy.

-6 -8 -6 -8 -7 9 -8 9
I’m glad I am—So’s Uncle Sam.

7 7 -8 8 7 8 -8 6
I’m a real live Yankee Doodle—

7 7 -8 8 7 8 -8 6
Made my name and fame and boodle.

7 7 -88 -9 8
Just like Mr. Doodle

-8 7 -7 -8 6 -8 7 7
did by riding on a pony.

A real live nephew of my Uncle Sam,

8 -8 7 -6 -7 7-8
born on the 4th of July.

I’ve got a Yankee Doodle sweetheart

Yankee Doodle came to London,

just to ride the ponies.

YAKETY YAK

Key: C

7 7 7 7 7 7 6 7
Take out the pa-pers and the trash
7 7 7 7 7 7 7 -6
Or you don’t get no spend-in’ cash
7 7 7 7 7 7 7 -7
If you don’t scrub that kitch-en floor
7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7
You ain’t gon-na rock and roll no more
7 7 7 7
Yak-et-y yak (don’t talk back)

Just finish cleanin’ up your room
Let’s see that dust fly with that broom
Get all that garbage out of sight
Or you don’t go out Friday night
Yakety yak (don’t talk back)

You just put on your coat and hat
And walk yourself to the laundromat
And when you finish doin’ that
Bring in the dog and put out the cat
Yakety yak (don’t talk back)

Don’t you give me no dirty looks
Your father’s hip; he knows what cooks
Just tell your hoodlum friend outside
You ain’t got time to take a ride
Yakety yak (don’t talk back)

Yakety yak, yakety yak
Yakety yak, yakety yak
Yakety yak, yakety yak
Yakety yak, yakety yak
