A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square

Lyrics: Eric Maschwitz
Music: Manning Sherwin

 

That cer-tain night,
-3* 7 7 -5*
The night we met,
-5* -7* -7* 7
There was ma-gic a-broad in the air.
-5* -5* 8 8 8 -9 -9 -9 -9*
There were an-gels
-9* -9* -9 -7*
Din-ing at the Ritz,
8 7* -7* -5* -7*
And a night-in-gale sang
7* 7* 7 7* -7* -5*
in Berk-‘ley Square.
-5* -5* -6 -5*

I may be right, I may be wrong,
-3* 7 7 -5* -5*-7* -7* 7
But I’m per-fect-ly will-ing to swear
-5* -5* 8 8 8 -9 -9 -9 -9*
That when you turned
-9* -9 -7* 8
and smiled at me,
7* -7* -5* -7*
A night-in’gale sang
7* 7 7* -7* -5*
in Berk-‘ley Square.
-5* -5* -6 -5*

The moon that lin-gered
-5 6 -6* 7 -7
ov-er Lon-don town
-8 8 -9 -9 -8
Poor puz-zled moon, he wore a frown.
-8 -7 -7 -6* -6* 6 6 -5
How could he know
-5 6 -6* 7
we two were so in love?
-7 -8 8 -9 -9 -8
The whole darn world
-8 -7 -7 7
seemed up-side down.
7 8 8 -7*

The streets of town were
-3* 7 7 -5* -5*
paved with stars
-7* -7* 7
It was such a ro-man-tic af-fair.
-5* -5* 8 8 8 -9 -9 -9 -9*
And as we kissed and said good-night,
-9* -9 -7* 8 7* -7* -5* -7*
A night-in-gale sang
7* 7 7* -7* -5*
in Berk-‘ley Square.
-5* -5* -6 -5*

How strange it was,
-3* 7 7 -5*
how sweet and strange,
-5* -7* -7* 7
there was nev-er a dream to com-pare.
-5* -5* 8 8 8 -9 -9 -9 -9*
With that ha-zy cra-zy night we met
-9* -9* -9 -7* 8 7* -7* -5* -7*
When a night-in-gale sang
7* 7* 7 7* -7* -5*
In Bark-‘ley Square
-5* -5* -6 -5*
This heart of mine beats loud and fast
-3* 7 7 -5* -5* -7* -7* 7
Like a mer-ry-go-round in a fair
-5* -5* 8 8 8 -9 -9 -9 -9*
For we were danc-ing cheek to cheek
-9* -9 -7* 8 7* -7* -5* -7*
And a night-in-gale sang
7* 7* 7 7* -7* -5*
In Berk-‘ley Square
-5* -5* -6 -5*

When dawn came steal-ing up,
-5 6 -6* 7 -7 -8
all gold and blue
8 -9 -9 -8
To in-ter-rupt our ren-dez-vous,
-8 -7 -7 -6* -6* 6 6 -5
I still re-mem-ber how
-5 6 -6* 7 -7 -8
you smiled and said,
8 -9 -9 -8
«Was that a dream? Or was it true?»
-8 -7 -7 7 7 8 8 -7*

Our home-ward step was just as light
-3* 7 7 -5* -5* -7* -7* 7
As the tap danc-ing feet of As-taire,
-5* -5* 8 8 8 -9 -9 -9 -9*
And like an e-cho far a- way
-9* -9 -7* 8 7* -7* -5* -7*
A night-in-gale sang
7* 7 7* -7* -5*
in Berk-‘ley Square.
-5* -5* -6 -5*
I know ‘cause I was there
8 -7* 7* 7 -6 7
That night in Berk-‘ley Square
7* 7 -6 -5* -5 -5*

Három tarka macska, három tarka macska.
Egyik szitál, másik rostál,
Harmadik követ vág, harmadik követ vág.
Szürke szamár vizet hoz már,

Tyúk a cipót csipegeti,
Hangya morzsát szedi, hangya morzsát szedi.

Scenes of youth and of beauty

Scenes of hardship and strife
D
4 4 4 -4 4 5 5
Scenes of wealth and of plenty
G D
4 4 4 -4 4 4 3 3
Old age and a blushing young bride
D
5 5 5 -4 4
All hang on the wall
G
5 5 5 5 -4 4
But the saddest of all
A7 D
5 5 5 5 -4 4 -4 4 4
Is a picture from life’s other side

A7 D
5 5 5 5 5 4 -5 -4 4
That’s a picture from life’s other side

Additional Verses (Guthrie version)

Now the first scene is that of two brothers
Their paths in life differently led
One lived in luxury and riches
And the other one begged for his bread
One night they met on the highway
Your money; your life; one cried
Then with his knife, he took his own brother’s life
That’s a picture from life’s other side

Now the next scene is down by the river
A heartbroken mother and babe
In the harbor light there see them shiver
Outcasts that no one will save
Once she was a true woman
Somebody’s darling and pride
God help her she leaps
There’s no one to weap
That’s a picture from life’s other side




A pirate looks at forty

A pirate looks at forty
Jimmy Buffett 1974

7 -6 7 7 -8 8 7 -6 7 -8 8
Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call

7 7 -8 7 -6 7 -8 7 -6
wanted to sail upon your waters

-5 7 7 -7 -6 6
since I was three feet tall

5 6 -6 -4 -6 -6 -6 6
you’ve seen it all, you’ve seen it all

Watched the men who rode you switch from sails to steam
and in your belly you hold the treasures
few have ever seen
most of em dream, most of em dream.

Yes I am a pirate, two hundred years to late
The cannons don’t thunder, there’s nothin to plunder
I,m an over-forty victum of fate
arriving to late, arriving to late.

I’v done a bit of smugglin,
I’ve run my share of grass
I made enough money to buy miami,
but I P***** it away so fast
never meant to last, never meant yo last

8 8 8 8 -8 -8 -8 7 7 7
I have been drunk now for over two weeks

7 8 8 8 8 8 -8 -8 -8 -8 7 7
I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few
7
leaks

-8 7 7 -6 7 -8 7 7 -6 7 -8 7
But I got to stop wishin, got to go fishin

7 7 -6 7 7 -7 -6 6
I’m down to rock bottom again

5 6 -6 -4 -6 6 -6 6
just a few friends, just a few friends.

I go for younger women, lived with several awhile
though I ran em away, they’d come back one day
still could manage to smile
just takes a while, just takes a while.

Mother, mother ocean, after all the years I’ve found
my occupational hazard being my occupation’s
just not around
4 5 6 -6 -4 6 6 -6 -6 6
I feel like I’v drowned, gonna head uptown.




A Place In The Sun

A PLACE IN THE SUN
By Ronald Miller & Bryan Wells

Like a long lone-ly stream
-5 6 -6 -5 5 -4
I keep run-nin’ towards a dream
5 -5 6 -5 -5 4 -3
Mov-in’ on, mov-in’ on
3 6 -5 6 5 5
Like a branch on a tree
-5 6 -6 -5 5 -4
I keep reach-in’ to be free
5 -5 6 -5 -5 4 -3
Mov-in’ on, mov-in’ on
3 6 -5 6 5 5

‘Cause there’s a place in the sun
5 -6 6 -5 -6 6 -5
Where there’s hope for ev-‘ry-one
5 -5 6 6 6 -5 5
Where my poor rest-less heart’s got-ta run
5 6 -5 -5 5 -4 5 -5 6
There’s a place in the sun
-6 6 -5 -6 6 -5
And be-fore my life is done
5 -5 6 6 -5 6 5
Got to find me a place in the sun
5 6 -5 -5 5 -4 6 -5 5

Like an old dus-ty road
-5 6 -6 -5 5 -4
I get wear-y from the load
5 -5 6 -5 -5 4 -3
Mov-in’ on, mov-in’ on
3 6 -5 6 5 5
Like this tired trou-bled earth
-5 6 -6 -5 5 -4
I’ve been rol-lin’ since my birth
5 -5 6 -5 -5 4 -3
Mov-in’ on, mov-in’ on
3 6 -5 6 5 5

�Cause there’s a place in the sun
5 -6 6 -5 -6 6 -5
Where there’s hope for ev-‘ry-one
5 -5 6 6 6 -5 5
Where my poor rest-less heart’s got-ta run
5 6 -5 -5 5 -4 5 -5 6
There’s a place in the sun
-6 6 -5 -6 6 -5
And be-fore my life is done
5 -5 6 6 -5 6 5
Got to find me a place in the sun
5 6 -5 -5 5 -4 6 -5 5

(Spoken)
You know when times are bad
And you’re feeling sad
I want you to always remember

Yes, there’s a place in the sun
7 7 6 7 -5 -6 6 -5
Where there’s hope for ev-‘ry-one
5 -5 6 -5 6 -5 5
Where my poor rest-less heart’s got-ta run
5 6 -5 -4 -5 -5 7 7 7 6
Yes there’s a place in the sun
5 -6 6 -5 -6 6 -5
Where there’s hope for ev-‘ry-one
5 -5 6 6 6 -5 5
Where my poor rest-less heart’s got-ta run
5 6 -5 -5 5 -4 5 -5 6
There’s a place in the sun
-6 6 -5 -6 6 -5
And be-fore my life is done

Got to find me a place in the sun

A Pretty Girl Is Like A Melody

A PRETTY GIRL IS LIKE A MELODY
By Irving Berlin
Judy Garland
Key: G

-1 -1* 2 3 2 2* -2* -4-4 -4
A pret-ty girl is like a mel-o-dy
-3 -2* 3 -3* -4 -5
That haunts you night and day,
6 -5 3 4 -4 4 -5 4 -3 -4
Just like the strain of a haunt-ing re-frain,
4 5* 6 5*-4 -3 -4 -3
She’ll start up-on a mar-a-thon
3 -2* -3 2 -2* 2
And run a-round your brain.
-1 -1* 2 3 2 2* -2* -4 -4 -4
You can’t es-cape she’s in your mem-o-ry.
-3 -2* 3 -3 3 6
By morn-ing night and noon.
-5* 6 -6* 6 -6* -5* 6 -5 6 4
She will leave you and then come back a-gain,
2 4 4 4 4 4 -4 4 -3 -4 3

A Pub With No Beer

A Great Australian Party Song
Waltz Beat

7 7 -7 -8 7
It’s lone-some a-way
6 5 -4 4 -4 -5
From your kin-dred and all
-5 -5 5 -6 -5 5
By the camp-fire at night
-4 -4 -4 5 -5 5
Where the wild din-goes call
7 7 7 -7 -8 7 6
But there’s noth-ing so lone-some,
-4 -4 4 -4 -6
So mor-bid and drear
-6 -6 6 -7 -6 6
Than to stand in the bar
-4 5 -5 5 -4 4
Of A Pub With No Beer!

Now the publican’s anxious for the quota to come,
There’s a far-away look on the face of the «bum»,
The maid’s gone all cranky and the cook’s acting
queer,
What a terrible place is a pub with no beer!

Then the stockman rides up with a dry dusty throat,
He breasts up to the bar, pulls a wad from his coat,
But the smile on his face quickly turns to a sneer
When the barman says sadly,»The pub’s got no beer!»

Then the swaggie comes in smother’d in dust and flies,
He throws down his roll, rubs the sweat from his eyes,
But when he is told, he says «What’s this I hear?
(SPOKEN)
I’ve trudged fifty flamin’ miles to a pub with no beer!»

There’s a dog on the v’randah, for his master he waits,
But the boss is inside, drinking wine with his mates,
He hurries for cover and cringes in fear,
It’s no place for a dog, round a pub with no beer!

Old Billy the blacksmith the first time in his life,
Has gone home cold sober to his darling wife,
He walks in the kitchen, she says «You’re early my dear,»
But he breaks down and tells her «The pub’s got no beer!»
Gordon Parsons

A Railroader For Me

chorus:

A railroad-e-r, a railroad-er,

9 -8 -8 7 -7 -6
a railroad-er for me.

-7 6 6 6 -7 -6 -6 7 7 8
If ever I marry in this wide world,

8 -8 -8 -8 7 -7 -6 6
A railroader’s bri-de I’ll be.

verse 1:
Now I would not marry a blacksmith,
he’s always in the black.
I’d rather marry an engineer,
that throws the throttle back.

chorus:

verse 2:
I would not marry a farmer,
he’s always in the dirt.
I’d rather marry an engineer,
that wears a striped shirt.

chorus:

verse 3:
I would not marry a sheriff,
for he is sure to die.
But I would marry a railroader,
who has them pretty blue eyes.

chorus:

verse 4:
I would not marry a preacher,
he preaches too much hell.
But I would marry a railroader,
who rings the big brass bell.

chorus:

verse 5:
Father, oh dear father,
forgive me if you can.
If you ever see your daughter again,
It’ll be with a railroad man.

5 5 -4 4 -4 5 6 6
I’ve been lov-ing you a long time
5 5 5 -4 4 -4 5 6
down all the years,down all the days
7 7 7 6 -5 5 -5 6
and i’ve cried for all your trou-bles
6 6 6 6 4 -5 5 -4
smiled at your fun-ny lit-tle ways
5 5 5 -4 4 -4 5 6 6
we watched our friends grow up to-ge-ther
5 5 -4 4 -4 5 6
and we saw them as they fell
7 7 7 6 -5 5 -5 6
some of them fell in-to hea-ven
6 6 6 4 -5 5 -4
some of them fell in-to hell

5 5 -4 4 -4 5 6 6
I took shel-ter from a show-er
5 5 -4 4 -4 5 6
and i stepped in-to your arms
7 7 7 6 -5 5 -5 6
on a rai-ny night in so-ho
6 6 6 6 4 -5 5 -4
the wind was whist-ling all i’ts charms
5 -4 4 -4 5 6 6
I sang you all my sorr-ows

you told me all your joys

5 5 5 -4 4 -4 5 6
we may not find out what it means
7 7 7 7 6 -5 5 -5 6
but there’s a light i hold be-fore me
6 6 6 6 4 -5 5 -4
and your the mea-sure of my dreams

the mea-sure of my dreams

Lead in ( twice )

Some-times i wake up in the mor-ning
5 5 5 -4 4 -4 5 6
the gin-ger-la-dy by my bed
7 7 7 6 -5 5 -5 6
co-vered in a cloak of si-lence
6 6 6 6 4 -5 5 -4
i hear you tal-king in my head
5 5 -4 4 -4 5 6 6
I’m not sing-ing for the fu-ture

I’m not dream-ing of the past

I’m not talking of the first time

Introdução: 
-5b 5 -4 3 -3 3    (2x) 

Entre um rosto e um retrato 
O real e o abstrato 
Entre a loucura e a lucidez 
Entre o uniforme e a nudez 
Entre o fim do mundo e o fim do mês 
Entre a verdade e o rock inglês 
Entre os outros e vocês 
Eu me sinto um estrangeiro 
Passageiro de algum trem 
Que não passa por aqui 
Que não passa de ilusão 

-5b 5 -4 3 -3 3  

Entre mortos e feridos 
Entre gritos e gemidos 
A mentira e a verdade 
A solidão e a cidade 
Entre um copo e outro 
Da mesma bebida 
Entre tantos corpos
Com a mesma ferida 
Eu me sinto um estrangeiro 
Passageiro de algum trem 
Que não passa por aqui 
Que não passa de ilusão 

-5b 5 -4 3 -3 3  

Entre a crença e os fiéis 
Entre os dedos e os anéis 
Entra ano e sai ano 
Sempre os mesmos planos 
Entre a minha boca e a tua 
Há tanto tempo, há tantos planos 
Mas eu nunca sei 
Pra onde vamos 
Eu me sinto um estrangeiro 
Passageiro de algum trem 
Que não passa por aqui 
Que não passa de ilusão
