Tug of War – Carly Rae Jepsen

This is actually my favorite Carly Rae Jepsen song.  It’s a super easy song on the guitar too. Just A, D, E.  If I was a girl, I’d be playing it!

Tug of War – Carly Rae Jepsen

You seem too good
Too good to be true
You’re holding me stronger
Stronger than I’m used to

Don’t go out with the boys tonight
I won’t sleep a wink
Wondering what you’re doing
Don’t go out with the girls tonight
I will turn to drink
[Album] {Wondering who you’re screwing}
[Radio] Wondering what you’re proving

You seem to good
To good to be true
I’m loving you longer
Longer than I’m used to

Don’t go out with the boys tonight
I won’t sleep a wink
Wondering what you’re doing
I don’t go out with the girls tonight
I will turn to drink
[Album] {Wondering who you’re screwing}
[Radio] Wondering what you’re proving

[2x]
Tug of war
Sweet as sin
I let go
I fell in
Feel the pull
Call your name
I’m alone
Once again

[Album] {You seem, you seem too good
Too good to be true
You’re holding me stronger
Stronger than I’m used to}

Don’t go out with the boys tonight
I won’t sleep a wink
Wondering what you’re doing
Don’t go out with the girls tonight
I will turn to drink
Wondering what you’re proving.

Tug of war
Sweet as sin
I let go
I fell in
Feel the pull
Call your name
I’m alone
Once again

Tug of war (Don’t go out with the boys tonight)
Sweet as sin (You seem too good)
I let go (Too good to be true)
I fell in
Feel the pull (Don’t go out with the girls tonight) (I’m loving you longer)
Call your name (I will turn to drink)
I’m alone
Once again (Longer than I’m used to)

Tug of war (Don’t go out with the boys tonight)
Sweet as sin (You seem too good)
I let go (Too good to be true)
I fell in
Feel the pull (Don’t go out with the girls tonight) (You seem too good)
Call your name (I will turn to drink)
I’m alone
Once again (Too good to be true)

(Tug of war)
(Feel the pull) (Don’t go out with the boys tonight)
(Tug of war)
(Feel the pull)

With a little help from my friends – Beatles

This is one of my favorite Beatles songs because it’s such a happy and fun song to play with my friends, literally.  This is a great song to jam on.

With a little help from my friends – Beatles

What would you think if I sang out of tune
Would you stand up and walk out on me?
Lend me your ears and I’ll sing you a song
And I’ll try not to sing out of key
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm gonna try with a little help from my friends

What do I do when my love is away?
(Does it worry you to be alone?)
How do I feel by the end of the day?
(Are you sad because you’re on your own?)
No I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm gonna try with a little help from my friends

(Do you need anybody?)
I need somebody to love
(Could it be anybody?)
I want somebody to love

(Would you believe in a love at first sight?)
Yes I’m certain that it happens all the time
(What do you see when you turn out the light?)
I can’t tell you, but I know it’s mine
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm I get high with a little help from my friends
Oh I’m gonna try with a little help from my friends

(Do you need anybody?)
I just need someone to love
(Could it be anybody?)
I want somebody to love

Oh I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm gonna try with a little help from my friends
Oh I get high with a little help from my friends
Yes I get by with a little help from my friends
With a little help from my friends

A Day In the Life – Beatles

A lot of people argue that this is the best Beatles song ever! I have to agree with them.  It’s pure genius I think.  I get a feeling from this song that is so deep it almost scares me. I feel haunted my John Lennon literally!

A Day In the Life – Beatles

I read the news today oh boy
About a lucky man who made the grade
And though the news was rather sad
Well I just had to laugh
I saw the photograph
He blew his mind out in a car
He didn’t notice that the lights had changed
A crowd of people stood and stared
They’d seen his face before
Nobody was really sure
If he was from the House of Lords
I saw a film today oh boy
The English Army had just won the war
A crowd of people turned away
But I just had to look
Having read the book
I’d love to turn you on

Woke up, fell out of bed
Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
And looking up I noticed I was late
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Made the bus in seconds flat
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke
And somebody spoke and I went into a dream

I read the news today oh boy
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
And though the holes were rather small
They had to count them all
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall
I’d love to turn you on

Riders on the Storm – Doors

This is older music from the late 60’s.  But wow! What a futuristic sound and did you ever hear a piano sound more like raindrops before?  The Doors have many great songs.  Check them out!

Riders on the Storm – Doors

Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Into this house we’re born
Into this world we’re thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out on loan
Riders on the storm

There’s a killer on the road
His brain is squirmin’ like a toad
Take a long holiday
Let your children play
If you give this man a ride
Sweet family will die
Killer on the road, yeah

Girl, you gotta love your man
Girl, you gotta love your man
Take him by the hand
Make him understand
The world on you depends
Our life will never end
Gotta love your man, yeah

Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Into this house we’re born
Into this world we’re thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out on loan.
Riders on the storm

Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm

Country Roads – John Denver

John Denver is special to me.  This is the first record I ever put on a record player when I was 5 years old!!

“Take Me Home, Country Roads”

Almost heaven, West Virginia, Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River.
Life is old there, older than the trees, younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze.

Country roads, take me home to the place I belong.
West Virginia, mountain mamma, take me home, country roads.

All my memories gather round her, miner’s lady, stranger to blue water.
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky, misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye.

Country roads, take me home to the place I belong.
West Virginia, mountain mamma, take me home, country roads.

I hear her voice in the morning hour, she calls me, the radio reminds me of my home far away.
And driving down the road I get a feeling that I should have been home yesterday, yesterday.

Country roads, take me home to the place I belong.
West Virginia, mountain mamma, take me home, country roads.

Country roads, take me home to the place I belong.
West Virginia, mountain mamma, take me home, country roads

Take me home now, country roads,
Take me home now, country roads.

Speed of Sound – Coldplay

I believe Coldplay has been the best music group of the last ten years! So their music is awesome! Enjoy this great track, one of their many wonderful songs.

Speed of Sound – Coldplay

How long before I get in?
Before it starts, before I begin?
How long before you decide?
Before I know what it feels like?
Where To, where do I go?
If you never try, then you’ll never know.
How long do I have to climb,
Up on the side of this mountain of mine?

Look up, I look up at night,
Planets are moving at the speed of light.
Climb up, up in the trees,
every chance that you get,
is a chance you seize.
How long am I gonna stand,
with my head stuck under the sand?
I’ll start before I can stop,
before I see things the right way up.

All that noise, and all that sound,
All those places I got found.
And birds go flying at the speed of sound,
to show you how it all began.
Birds came flying from the underground,
if you could see it then you’d understand?

Ideas that you’ll never find,
All the inventors could never design.
The buildings that you put up,
Japan and China all lit up.
The sign that I couldn’t read,
or a light that I couldn’t see,
some things you have to believe,
but others are puzzles, puzzling me.

All that noise, and all that sound,
All those places I got found.
And birds go flying at the speed of sound,
to show you how it all began.
Birds came flying from the underground,
if you could see it then you’d understand,
ah when you see it then you’ll understand?

All those signs, I knew what they meant.
Some things you can invent.
Some get made, and some get sent,
Ooh?
Birds go flying at the speed of sound,
to show you how it all began.
Birds came flying from the underground,
if you could see it then you’d understand,
ah, when you see it then you’ll understand?

Fly At Night – Chilliwack

This is a total Canadian Classic.

Fly At Night – Chilliwack

Four men in a rock ‘n roll band
Fly at night in the morning we land
Fly at night ’til we’re satisfied
See the morning from the other side

And when you close your eyes
Sleep comes fast
When you fly the universe
Well, you need some rest
Yeah, you need some rest

Ooh, we like the big wide spaces
Yeah, we like a sea of faces
Time is just a rubber band
Time is at our command

And when we look out
And see you there
You seem much closer
And you feel so near
Yeah, you feel so near

Well we fly by night, it’s like a rocket flight
And baby that’s just what it’s for
Yeah, we fly by night, it makes you feel alright
It keeps you coming back for more

Well we fly by night, it’s like a rocket flight
And baby that’s just what it’s for
We fly by night, it makes you feel alright
It keeps you coming back for more

Four men in a rock ‘n roll band
Fly at night in the morning we land
Fly at night ’til we’re satisfied
See the morning from the other side

Rocky Mountain High – John Denver

This song is so important and beautiful for the story tells.  Of being born again with the beauty of nature!

Rocky Mountain High – John Denver

He was born in the summer of his 27th year
Coming home to a place he’d never been before
He left yesterday behind him, you might say he was born again
You might say he found a key for every door

When he first came to the mountains his life was far away
On the road and hanging by a song
But the string’s already broken and he doesn’t really care
It keeps changing fast and it don’t last for long

But the Colorado rocky mountain high
I’ve seen it raining fire in the sky
The shadow from the starlight is softer than a lullabye
Rocky mountain high

He climbed cathedral mountains, he saw silver clouds below
He saw everything as far as you can see
And they say that he got crazy once and he tried to touch the sun
And he lost a friend but kept his memory

Now he walks in quiet solitude the forest and the streams
Seeking grace in every step he takes
His sight has turned inside himself to try and understand
The serenity of a clear blue mountain lake

And the Colorado rocky mountain high
I’ve seen it raining fire in the sky
You can talk to God and listen to the casual reply
Rocky mountain high

Now his life is full of wonder but his heart still knows some fear
Of a simple thing he cannot comprehend
Why they try to tear the mountains down to bring in a couple more
More people, more scars upon the land

And the Colorado rocky mountain high
I’ve seen it raining fire in the sky
I know he’d be a poorer man if he never saw an eagle fly
Rocky mountain high

It’s Colorado rocky mountain high
I’ve seen it raining fire in the sky
Friends around the campfire and everybody’s high
Rocky mountain high

Afternoon Delight – Starland Vocal Band

This is just a sweet song to share with someone you love.  So happy! Great song for lovers!

Afternoon Delight – Starland Vocal Band

Gonna find my baby, gonna hold her tight
Gonna grab some afternoon delight
My motto’s always been ‘when it’s right, it’s right’
Why wait until the middle of a cold dark night?
When everything’s a little clearer in the light of day
And we know the night is always gonna be there any way

Thinkin’ of you’s workin’ up my appetite
Looking forward to a little afternoon delight
Rubbin’ sticks and stones together makes the sparks ingite
And the thought of lovin’ you is getting so exciting
Sky rockets in flight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight

Started out this morning feeling so polite
I always though a fish could not be caught who wouldn’t bite
But you’ve got some bait a waitin’ and I think I might try nibbling
A little afternoon delight
Sky rockets in flight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight

Please be waiting for me, baby, when I come around
We could make a lot of lovin’ ‘for the sun goes down

Thinkin’ of you’s workin’ up my appetite
Looking forward to a little afternoon delight
Rubbin’ sticks and stones together makes the sparks ingite
And the thought of lovin’ you is getting so exciting
Sky rockets in flight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight

Afternoon delight!
