She said, I’ve seen you in here before
-4 -4 -4 -4 -3 4 4 4 4
I said, I’ve been here a time or two.
6 6 6 6 -5 5 5 5 5 -5
She said, hello, my name is Bobby Jo.
-4 -4 -4 5 -5 -5 6 6
Meet my twin sister Betty Lou.
5 6 6 6 -6 7 7 7-6 -6 -7
And we’re both feelin kinda wild tonight.
-5 -5 -5 6 -6 -6 -6 7 -55
You’re the on-ly cowboy in this place.
5 6 6 6 -5 5 -5 -3 -3
And if you’re up for a ro-de — o,
5 5 5 5 5 5 -4 -4 -4 -34
We’ll put a big Texas smile on your face.

And I said, Girls
6 6 6 6 -5 5 5 -2
I ain’t as good as I once was.
-4 -4 -3 -3 4 4 3 -3
I got a few years on me now.
6 6 -5 5 5 5 5 5 4
But there was a time back in my prime
5 5 5 5 -5 -5 6 6
When I could really lay it down.
5 6 -6 7 7 7-6 -6 -7
And if you need some love tonight,
-5 -5 6 -6 -6 7 -55
Then I might have just enough.
6 6 6 6 -5 5 5 -3
I ain’t as good as I once was,
-3 5 5 -4 -4 5 -5 -5 5 5
But I’m as good once as I ev-er was
6 6 6 6 -5 5 5 5 -2
I still hang out with my best friend Dave;
-4 -4 -4 -4 -3 4 4 4 4
I’ve known him since we were kids at school
6 6 6 6 -5 5 5
Last night he had a few shots,
-5 5 -3 5 4 -4 5 -5 -5 6 6
Got in a tight spot, hustlin a game of pool
6 6 6 -6 7 7 -6 -7
With a couple of red neck boys,
-5 -5 6 -6 -6 7 -55
One great big bad biker man
5 6 6 -5 5 -5 -5 -3 -3
I heard David yell across the room,
5 5 5 5 5 5 -4 -4 -34
Hey, buddy how bout a helpin hand?

And I said Dave,
6 6 6 6 -5 5 5 -2
I ain’t as good as I once was
-4 -4 -3 -3 4 4
My, how the years have flown.
6 6 -5 5 5 5 5 5 4
But there was a time back in my prime
5 5 5 5 -5 -5 6 6
When I could really hold my own.
5 6 -6 7 7 7-6 -6 -7
But if you wanna fight tonight,
-5 -5 -5 6 -6 -6 7 -55
Guess those boys don’t look all that tough.
6 6 6 6 -5 5 5 -3
I ain’t as good as I once was,
-3 5 5 -4 -4 5 -5 -5 5 5
But I’m as good once as I ev-er was
5 6 -6 7 -8 -8 -87-6
I used to be hell on wheels
-6 -6 -6 7 -7 -7 7 7-66
Back when I was a younger man
6 6 6 -5 -55 -5 -5
Now my body says, you can’t do this boy
5 5 5 5 5 5 5 -55
But my pride says, Oh, yes you can
6 6 6 6 -5 5 5 -2
I ain’t as good as I once was
-4 -3 4 4 4 3
That’s just the cold hard truth.
6 6 -5 5 5
I still throw a few back,
5 5 5 4 4
talk a little smack
5 5 5 -5 -5 6 6
when I’m feelin bullet proof.
5 6 -6 7 7 -6 -7
So, don’t double-dog dare me now,
-5 -5 6 -6 -6 7 -55
Cause I’d have to call your bluff
6 6 6 6 -5 5 5 -3
I ain’t as good as I once was,
-3 5 5 -4 -4 5 -5 -5 5 5
But I’m as good once as I ev-er was
6 6 6 6 -5 5 5 -3
May not be as good I once was,
5 5 5 5 -4 5 -5 -5 5 5
But I’m as good once as I ev-er was.

As a-round the sun the earth knows she’s re-volv-ing
6 6 8 8 8 -9 8 -8 -8 7 -8
And the rose buds know to bloom in earl-y May
6 6 8 8 8 -9 8-8
Just as hate knows love’s the cure,

You can rest your mind as-sure
-5 5 -6 -6 -6 -7 -7 -6
That I’ll be lov-ing you al-ways

As now can’t re-veal the mys-tr’y of to-mor-row
6 6 8 8 8 -9 8 -8 -8 7 -8
But in pass-ing will grow old-er ev-ry day
6 6 8 8 8 -9 8-8 7 -6 -6 7 7 -6 -6
Just as all that’s born is new, you know what I say is true,
-5 5 -6 -6 -6 -7 -7 -6
That I’ll be lov-ing you al-ways

7 7 7 -7 -7 7 -8 8 -8 7 7 -6 (-87)
Un-til the rain-bow burns the stars out in the sky

Un-til the o-cean cov-ers ev-‘ry moun-tain high

Un-til we dream of life and life be-comes a dream

-10-10 -10 -10 -10 -10 9 -9 9 8
Do you know that true love asks for noth-ing

Her ac-cept-ance is the way we came

Did you know that life has giv-in’ love a gaur-an-tee
9 8 -8 7 -6 7 7 7 -8 8 8
To last through for-ev-er and a-noth-er day

Just as time knew to move on since the be-gin-ing
And the sea-sons know ex-act-ly when to change
Just as kind-ness knows no shame through all your joy and pain
That I’ll be lov-ing you al-ways

As to-day I know I’m liv-ing but to-mor-row
Could make me the past but, that I must-n’t fear
For I know deep in my mind, the love of me I left be-hind
-5 5 -6 7 -8 8 -87 -6
Cause I’ll be lov-ing you al-ways

Un-til the rain-bow burns the stars out in the sky
Al-ways
Un-til the ocean cov-ers ev-‘ry moun-tain high
Al-ways
Un-til the dol-phin flys and par-rots live at sea
Al-ways
Un-til we dream of life and life be-comes a dream
Al-ways
Un-til the day is night and night be-comes the day
Al-ways
Un’til the trees and seas just up and fly a-way
Un’til the day that 8 X 8 X 8 is four
Un-til the day that is the day that are no more
Un’til the day the earth is turn-ing right to left
Un-til the earth just for the sun de-nies it’s self
Un-til dear Moth-er Na-ture says her work is through
Un-til the day that you are me and I am you

When you get caught be-tween,

The moon and New York Ci-ty,

The best that you can do, is f-all in love.




Arthur Theme Song

-8 -8 -8 -7 -7
E-very-day when you’re
7 7 -7 -6 -7
walk-ing down the street,
-7 -7 -7 7 7 -7 -6 -7
and e-very-bo-dy that you meet,
6 6 6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -7 6
has an o-ri-gi-nal point of view.

6 -6 6
And I say,
-8 -6 -7 7 7 7 -7 -6 -7
«Hey! What a won-der-ful kind of day.»
6 6 6 7 7 -7 -6 -7
If we can learn to work and play.
6 6 6 6 -6 -7 -6 6
And get a-long with each-o-ther.

7 7 7 7 7 -7 -6 -7
You’ve got to li-sten to your heart,
6 6 6 -6 -6
lis-ten to the beats,
7 7 -7 -6 -7 6
lis-ten to the rhy-thm,
6 6 -6 -6 7 7
the rhy-thm of the street.

7 7 7 -7 -7
O-pen up your eyes,
6 6 6 7 -7
o-pen up your ears,
6 6 6 6 7 -7 -6 6 -6
get to-ge-ther and make things bet-ter
-7 7 -8 -8 7 8
by wor-king to-ge-ther.

-8 -8 -8 7 -8 8
It’s a sim-ple mes-sage.
-7 7 -8 -8 7 8
And it comes from the heart.
-7 -8 7 -7 -6 6
Oh be-lieve in your-self.
6 6 6 -7 -8 -8
For that’s the place to start.

6 -6 6
And I say,
-8 -6 -7 7 7 7 -7 -6 -7
«Hey! What a won-der-ful kind of day.»
6 6 6 7 7 -7 -6 -7
If we can learn to work and play.
6 6 6 6 -6 -7 -6 6
And get a-long with each-o-ther.

-8 -6 -7 7 7 7 -7 -6 -7
«Hey! What a won-der-ful kind of day.»

4 4 4 -4 -4 -4 -4 3* 3*
Life was so peace-ful at the laun-dry,
-3* -3* -3* -3 -3 -3 -2*
Life was so calm and se-rene,
-2 3 -3 4
Life was tres gay
-3 -2 2 3 -4 -5
Till that un-luck-y day
5 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -1 3
I hap-pened to read that mag-a-zine!
4 4 4 -4 -4 -4 -4 3* 3*
Why did I read that ad-ver-tise-ment,
2 2 -3* -3* -3* -3 -3
Where it says, «Since I rum-ba,
-3 -2* -2* -2* -2*
Jim thinks I’m sub-lime!?

I did-n’t have the mon-ey,

And teach-er did not have the time.

3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 -3 2 1
Ar-thur Mur-ray taught me danc-in’ in a hur-ry;
3 3 3 -3* -3* 3
I had a week to spare,
3 3 3 3 3 -3
He showed me the ground work,
3 -5 -5 -4 3
The walk a-round work,
3 -2 3 -2 -1* -1* -1 1
And told me to take it from there!

3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 -3 2 1
Ar-thur Mur-ray then ad-vised me not to wor-ry;
3 3 3 -3* -3* 3
It-‘d come out all right!
3 3 3 3 3 -3 3 -5 -5 -4 3
To my way of think-in’ it came out stink-in’,
3 -2 3 -2 -1* -1* -1 1
I don’t know my left from my right!

4 4 4 4 4 -5* -5 4 4
The peo-ple a-round me can all sing,

Arthur McBride

6 7 (8) 7 7 6 7 (8) 7 8 9
I once had a comrade named Arthur McBride

(10) 9 (9) 8 (9) 8 (8) 8 (8) 7 (6) 6
as we were a-walking along the seaside

6 7 (8) 7 7 6 6 7 (8) 7 8 9
As we were a-walking to bathe in the tide

(10) 9 (9) 8 (9) 9 (10) (10)(10)9
It was on a fine summer’s morning

9 9 9 8 (8) 7 (10) (10) (10) 9
As we were awalking along the sea sand

(9) 9 (9) 8 (9) 8 (8) 8 (8) 7 (6) 6
We met Sergeant Napier and Corporal O’Hand

7 (8) 7 7 6 7 (8) 7 8 9 9 (9) 8 (8) (6) 7 (7)
And a little wee drummer called Patrick McDan

(6) 6 (6) (7)7(8) 8 (9) 9 (9) 8 (8) (9)
They were going to the fair in the morning

O Arthur, my lad, if you would but list
Five guineas in gold I would clap in your fist
Besides five shilling to kick up the dust
And drink the king’s health in the morning

Na faith, says Arthur, I ken it mysel’
I winna gae wi you to rin at your tail
I winna gae wi you to rin at your tail
And be at your command in the morning

O, if you go with us, I’m sure you’ll go clean
We’re not like poor fellows goes dirty and mean
We’re not like poor fellows goes dirty and mean
Gets nothing but gruel in the morning

Ye needna be chattin’ aboot your fine pay
As you go a-marchin’ and chattin’ away
For all that ye hae is a shilling a day
To get you some chat in the morning

Ye needna be chattin’ aboot your fine clothes
Ye’ve only the len o them as I suppose
Ye durna sell them in spite o your nose
Or you will get flogged in the morning

I’m blessed said the sergeant, if I’ll take more of that
From you or from any young cow-feeding brat
And if you tip me any more of your chat
I will run you thru in the morning

But before they time to draw out their blades
Our whacking shillelaghs came over their heads
We soon let them see that we were their blades
That could temper their pows in the morning

As for the wee drummer we tempered his pow
And made a football o his row-didi-dow
And kicket it in to the ocean to row
And take a bit bathe in the morning

And as for the weapons that hung by their sides
We took them and pitched them far out in the tide
May the deil gae wi them, said Arthur McBride
If ever we see them returning

A-round the world
7 -7 6 6
I’ve searched for you.
6 -7 7 -7
I trav-eled on
7 -7 7 -7
when hope was gone
7 -7 7 -7 -4 -4
to keep a ren-dez-vous.
7 8 -7 -8 7 -7 -4 -4
I knew some-where, some-time, some-how,
7 -7 7 -7 7 -7 7 -7
You’d look at me and I would see
7 -7 7 -7 6 6
The smile you’re smil-ing now.
7 8 7 -8 7 -7 6 6
It might have been in Count-y Down
7 -7 7 -7 7 -7 7 -7*
Or in New York, in gay Pa-ree
-7 7* -7 10 -9 -9
or e-ven Lon-don town.

No more will I go all a-round the world

For I have found my world in you.

Armstrong (complete)

French cover song of «Go Down Moses (gospel)»,

the original lyrics were inspired by the Gospel from the Bible, while this french version

written and interpreted by Claude Nougaro in 1967 offers completely different words,

wich tribute to Louis Armstrong and end up ridiculing racism.
