Track 1 - Pack Up Your Sorrows
[Intro]
C F C G C F C G C
[Verse 1]
F
No use crying, talking to a stranger
C G
Naming the sorrows you've seen
C F
Too many sad times, too many bad times
C G C
Nobody knows what you mean
[Chorus]
F
But if somehow you could pack up your sorrows
C G
And give them all to me
C F
You would lose them, I know how to use them
C G C
Give them all to me
[Verse 2]
F
No use rambling, walking in the shadows
C G
Trailing a wandering star
C F
No one beside you, no one to hide you
C G C
Nobody knows where you are
[Chorus]
F
But if somehow you could pack up your sorrows
C G
And give them all to me
C F
You would lose them, I know how to use them
C G C
Give them all to me
[Verse 3]
F
No use gambling, running in the darkness
C G
Looking for a spirit that's free
C F
Too many wrong times, too many long times
C G C
Nobody knows what you see
[Chorus]
F
But if somehow you could pack up your sorrows
C G
And give them all to me
C F
You would lose them, I know how to use them
C G C
Give them all to me
[Instrumental]
C F C G C F C G C
[Verse 4]
F
No use roaming, lying by the roadside
C G
Seeking a satisfied mind
C F
Too many highways, too many byways
C G C
And nobody's walking behind
[Chorus]
F
But if somehow you could pack up your sorrows
C G
And give them all to me
C F
You would lose them, I know how to use them
C G C
Give them all to me
Track 2 - The Coming Of The Roads
CAPO: 1st Fret
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
D Em C
Now that our mountain is growing
D G
With people hungry for wealth
D Em A7
How come it's you that's a-going__
C D G
And I'm left alone by myself?
[Verse 2]
D Em C
We used to hunt the cool caverns
D G
Deep in our forest of green
D Em A7
Then came the road and the tavern__
C D G
And you found a new love it seems
[Chorus]
A D Bm C
Once I had you and the wildwood
D G
Now, it's just dusty roads
D C A
And I can't help from blaming your going
C D C G
On the coming, the coming of the roads
[Verse 3]
D Em C
Look how they've cut all to pieces
D G
Our ancient poplar and oak
D Em A7
And the hillsides are stained with the greases
C D G
That burned up the heavens with smoke
[Verse 4]
D Em C
You used to curse the bold crewmen
D G
Who stripped our earth of its ore
D Em A7
Now you've changed and you've gone over to them
C D G
And you've learned to love what you hated before
[Chorus]
A D Bm C
Once I thanked god for my treasure
D G
Now like rust, it corrodes
D C A
And I can't help from blaming your going
C D C G
On the coming, the coming of the roads
Track 3 - So Early, Early In The Spring
[Intro]
A
[Verse 1]
So early, early in the spring
G A
I shipped on board to serve my king
I left my dearest dear behind
A
She oft' times swore her heart was mine
[Verse 1]
My love she takes me by the hand
G A
“If ever I marry, you'll be the man"
A thousand vows so long and sweet
A
Saying, "We'll be married when next we meet"
[Verse 2]
And all the time I sailed the seas
G A
I could not find one moment's ease
In thinking of my dearest dear
A
And never a word from her could I hear
[Instrumental]
A G A
[Verse 3]
At last we sailed into Glasgow town
G A
I strode the streets both up and down
Inquiring for my dearest dear
A
And never a word from her could I hear
[Verse 4]
I went straightway to her father's hall
G A
And loudly for my love did call
“My daughter's married, she's a rich man's wife
A
She’s wed to another, much better for life"
[Verse 5]
If the girl is married that I adore
G A
I'm sure I'll stay on land no more
I'll sail the sea till the day I die
A
I'll break the waves rolling mountains high
Track 4 - Tomorrow Is A Long Time
CAPO: 2nd Fret
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
If today was not endless highway
If tonight was not endless trail
C D G
If tomorrow wasn't such a long time
C D G
Then lonesome would mean nothing to me at all
[Chorus]
C D G
Yes and only if my own true love was waiting
C D G
If I could hear his heart softly pounding
C D G
If only he was lying by me
C D G
And I'd lie in my bed once again
[Verse 2]
I can't see my reflection in the water
I can't speak the sounds that show no pain
C D G
I can't hear the echo of my footsteps
C D G
I can't remember the sound of my own name
[Chorus]
C D G
Yes and only if my own true love was waiting
C D G
If I could hear his heart softly pounding
C D G
If only he was lying by me
C D G
And I'd lie in my bed once again
[Verse 3]
There's beauty in the silver singing river
There's beauty in the sunrise in the sky
C D G
But none of these and nothing else could match the beauty
C D G
That I remember in my true love's eyes
[Chorus]
C D G
Yes and only if my own true love was waiting
C D G
If I could hear his heart softly pounding
C D G
If only he was lying by me
C D G
And I'd lie in my bed once again
[Verse 4]
If today was not endless highway
If tonight was not endless trail
C D G
If tomorrow wasn't such a long time
C D G
Then lonesome would mean nothing to me at all
[Chorus]
C D G
Yes and only if my own true love was waiting
C D G
If I could hear his heart softly pounding
C D G
If only he was lying by me
C D G
And I'd sleep in my bed once again
Track 5 - Daddy You've Been On My Mind
CAPO: 3rd Fret
[Intro]
C Dm G D G C
[Verse 1]
G/B
Well, perhaps it's the colour of the sun cut flat
Am D
Uncovering, the crossroads I'm standing at
C Am F C
Or maybe it's the weather or something like that
D G C
Daddy, you've been on my mind
[Interlude]
C Dm G D G C
[Verse 2]
G/B
I don't mean trouble, please don't put me down or get upset
Am D
I am not pleading or saying, "I can't forget you"
C Am F C
I do not walk the floor, bowed down and bent, but yet
D G C
Daddy, you've been on my mind
[Interlude]
C Dm G D G C
[Verse 3]
G/B
Even though my mind is hazy and my thoughts they might be narrow
Am D
Where you've been don't bother me, or bring me down in sorrow
C Am F C
It don't even matter to me where you're waking up tomorrow
D G C
Daddy, you've been on my mind
[Interlude]
C Dm G D G C
[Verse 4]
G/B
I am not asking you to say words like "yes" or "no"
Am D
Please understand me, I've got no place for you to go
C Am F C
I'm just breathing to myself, pretending not that I don't know
D G C
Daddy, you've been on my mind
[Interlude]
C Dm G D G C
[Verse 5]
G/B
When you wake up in the morning, baby, look inside your mirror
Am D
You know I won't be next to you, you know I won't be near
C Am F C
I'd just be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear
D G C
As someone who has had you on her mind
[Outro]
C Dm G D G C
Track 6 - Thirsty Boots
CAPO: 2nd Fret
[Intro]
G C D G C D
[Verse 1]
G
You've been long and on the open road
C D
You’ve been sleeping in the rain
G
From the dirty words and muddy cells
C D
Your clothes are smeared and stained
G
But the dirty words and muddy cells
C D
Will soon be judged insane
G C
So only stop and rest yourself
Am D
And you'll be off again
[Chorus]
G C
Then take off your thirsty boots
G C
And stay for awhile
G Em
Your feet are hot and weary
Am D
From a dusty mile
G C
And maybe I can make you laugh
Am D
And maybe I can try
G Em
Just looking for the evening
C D G
And the morning in your eye
[Interlude]
G C D G C D
[Verse 2]
G
Then tell me of the ones you saw
C D
As far as you could see
G
Across the plains from field to town
C D
Marching to be free
G
And of the rusty prison gates
C D
That tumble by degree
G C
Like laughing children, one by one
C D G
Who look like you and me
[Chorus]
G C
Then, take off your thirsty boots
G C
And stay for awhile
G Em
Your feet are hot and weary
Am D
From a dusty mile
G C
And maybe I can make you laugh
Am D
And maybe I can try
G Em
Just looking for the evening
Am D G
And the morning in your eye
[Interlude]
G C D G C D
[Verse 3]
G
I know that you’re no stranger
C D
Down the crooked rainbow trail
G
From dancing cliff heads, shattered sills
C D
Of slandered shackled jails
G
But the voices drift up from below
C D
As his walls are being scaled
G C
And all of this and more my friend
C D G
Your song shall not be failed
[Chorus]
G Em
Then, take off your thirsty boots
Am D
And stay for awhile
G Em
Your feet are hot and weary
Am D
From a dusty mile
G C
And maybe I can make you laugh
Am D
And maybe I can try
G Em
Just looking for the evening
Am D G
And the morning in your eye
[Interlude]
G C D G C D (2x)
G Em
Then, take off your thirsty boots
Am D
And stay for awhile
G Em
Your feet are hot and weary
Am D
From a dusty mile
G C
And maybe I can make you laugh
Am D
And maybe I can try
G Em
Just looking for the evening
Am D G
And the morning in your eye
[Outro]

Through the foggy ruins of time

Down past the frightened leaves

And the lifeless, frozen trees
G C
Way down to the windy beach
G C D
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow
[Verse 4]
C D
I wanna dance beneath the diamond sky
G C
With one hand waving free
G C
Silhouetted by the sea
G C
With all memory and fate
G C
Driven deep beneath the waves

Please let me forget about today until tomorrow

After the city sun was setting

why the windows were shattered

And all the stores were the target now

Where just the other day they were buying

G Am
Drunk with the memory of the ghetto

Drunk with the lure of the looting
Am G E Am
And the memory of the uniforms shoving with their sticks
G Am G Am G Am
Asking, "Are you looking for trouble?"
[Verse 6]

"No, no, no," moaned the mayor

Bricks were heavily flying

when compared to the angered emotions
[Verse 9]
G Am
And when the fury was over
C E
And the shame was replacing the anger

So wrong, so wrong, but we've been down so long
G Am
And we had to make somebody listen
G Am G Am G Am
In the heat of the summer

In about three hours time

This old airport's got me down
