A#add9 C Gm Cm F A#add9 C
A#
That cold North wind they call "La Bise"
D7
Is swirling 'round about my knees
Gm Cm F
Trees are crying leaves into the river
A#
I'm huddled in this French cafe
D7
I never thought I'd see the day
Gm Cm F
When winter's here and summer's nearly over
D# F
Even the birds have packed up and gone
A# D#
They're flying south with this song
A# D#
And my love, she too has gone
F
She had to fly, take care
CHORUS:
A#
It's such a lonely sky
Gm Cm F
They'll trap your wings, my love, and hold your flight
A# Gm
They'll build a cage and steal your only sky
Cm
Fly away, fly to me, fly when the wind is high
F A# Gm Cm F A#
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky
A#
The old cathedral lights are low
D7
She and I, we'd often go there
Gm Cm F
To admire and sometimes kneel in prayer
A#
Lords and ladies lying in stone
D7
Hand in hand from long ago
Gm Cm F
Though their hands are cold, their love's forever
D# F
Even the choir rehearses those songs
A# D#
For Christmas is not long
A# D#
And we may sing our song
F
She had to fly, out there
CHORUS: (# fade towards end #)
A#
It's such a lonely sky
Gm Cm F
They'll trap your wings, my love, and hold your flight
A# Gm
They'll build a cage and steal your only sky
Cm
Fly away, fly to me, fly when the wind is high
F A# Gm
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky
Cm
Fly away, fly to me, and if you need my love
F A# Gm
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky

I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky

I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky

02. This Song For You 4:14
C A7
Hello darling, this is the army,
Dm
I've just got the time to write,
G
Today we attack, there's no turning back,
C F C G
The boys they're all ready for the fight,
C A7
Yes, I'm well but this place is like hell,
Dm
They call it Passchendaele,
G
In nineteen seventeen the war must be ending,
C F C
The General said this attack will not fail,
F E
So I'm writing down this simple little melody
Am Em Dm E
When you play it my love, think of me...
Dm C G C Dm
We'll be together in this song for you,
G C A7 Dm G C F C
And it goes La la la...
G C A7 Dm G C F C G
Sing it darling, La la la...
C A7
They got old Bill and the Sergeant is still out there,
Dm
Wounded in some shellhole,
G
They say this war will end all wars,
C F C G
Oh God I really hope it will,
C A7
Oh how's old England, are they still singing
Dm
Those songs that we loved to sing,
G
When all this is over, we'll go sailing in Dover,
C F C
Catching fish like we used to with a string,
F E
Oh I miss you, I miss you, I miss you so!
Am Em Dm E
If they get me my love you will know...
Dm C G C Dm
We'll always be together in this song for you...
G C A7 Dm G C F C
And it goes La la la...
G C A7 Dm G C F C G C A7 Dm G C F C G C A7 Dm G C F C G
I have to go now...
03. Patricia the Stripper 3:30
Capo 5
A# D7
Dennis is a menace with his 'anyone for tennis?'
Gm A#7
and beseeching me to come and keep the score.
D# D#m
And Maud says, 'Oh Lord, I'm so terribly bored.
A# Gm C7
I really can't stand it anymore.'
F7 A# D7
I'm going out to dinner with a gorgeous singer
Gm A#7
to a little place I found down by the quay,
D# D#m
her name is Patricia, she calls herself Delicia,
A# Gm C7 F
and the reason isn't very hard to see.
A# D7
She says 'God made her a sinner just to keep fat man thinner,
Gm A#7
as they tumble down in heaps before her feet.
D# D#m
They hang around in groups like battle weary troops,
A# Gm C7 F
one can often see them queue right down the street.
D# D7
You see, Patricia (or Delicia) not only is a singer,
Gm C7 F7
she also removes all her clothing - - -
D# F A# D# A#
for Patricia is the best stripper in to....wn.
F7 A# G7
And with a swing of her hips she started to strip,
Cm F7
to tremendous applause she took of her drawers,
A# G7
and with a lick of her lips she undid all her clips,
Cm F
and threw it all in the air, everybody stared !
D# D7
And as the last piece of clothing fell on the floor,
A# G7
the police were banging on the door,
Cm F A# D#
on a Saturday night in nineteen-twenty- f...our.
A# F
Take it away boys!
A# G7 Cm F7 A# G7 Cm F A#
F7 A# D7
But poor Patricia was arrested and everyone detested
Gm A#7
the manner in which she was exposed.
D# D#m
Later on in court, well, everybody thought
A# Gm C F
a summer run in jail would be proposed.
D# D7
But the judge said, “Patricia, or may I say Delicia,
Gm C7 F7
the facts of this case lie before me. Case dismissed !
D# F A# D# A#
This girl was in her working clo.....thes !!”
F7 A# G7
And with a swing of her hips she started to strip,
Cm F7
to tremendous applause she took of her drawers,
A# G7
and with a lick of her lips she undid all her clips,
Cm F
and threw it all in the air, and everybody stared !
D# D7
And as the last piece of clothing fell on the floor,
A# G7
the police were yelling out the door,
Cm F A# G7
on a Saturday night in nineteen-twenty- f...our.
Cm F7 A# D# A#
On a Saturday night in nineteen-twenty-four. Oh yeah !

Verse1:
Gm A# F Gm
G spaceman came travelling on his ship from afar,
A# F D# D# F
'twas light years of time since his mission did start

Verse2:
Gm A# F Gm
He followed a light and came down to a shed,
A# F D# D# F
Where a mother and child were lying there on a bed,
Gm Dm D# Gm
G bright light of silver shone round his head,
A# F D# D# F Gm
And he had the face of an angel, and they were afraid.
Verse3:
Gm A# F Gm
Then the stranger spoke, he said "Do not fear,
A# F D# D# F
I come from a planet a long way from here,
Gm Dm D# Gm
And I bring a message for mankind to hear",
A# F D# D# F Gm
And suddenly the sweetest music filled the air.
Chorus:

And it went La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La,

Verse4:
Gm A# F Gm
This lovely music went trembling through the ground,
A# F D# D# F
And many were wakened on hearing that sound,
Gm Dm D# Gm
And travellers on the road, the village they found,
A# F D# D# F Gm
By the light of that ship in the sky, which shone all around.
Verse5:
Gm A# F Gm
And just before dawn at the paling of the sky,
A# F D# D# F
The stranger returned and said "Now I must fly,
Gm Dm D# Gm
When two thousand years of your time has gone by,
A# F D# D# F Gm
This song will begin once again, to a babys cry".
Final Chorus:
D# F Gm Dm D# Gm
And it went La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La,

La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
Gm Dm D# Gm
La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La,

Peace and goodwill to all of men, and love for the child.

And I hear La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
A# F D# D# F
La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
Gm Dm D# Gm
La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La,

La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La,

This song will begin once again, to a babys cry".

I left my love by the sea
F A# C Csus2
Dreaming I could sing my songs in the city

I thought the streets of London
F A#
Would be paved with gold

06. The Painter 4:20
D
I'd like you to meet my last queen,
E A
Over there large as life,
D G
She's been hanging there for almost a week,
E A
My poor late wife,
D
What do think of the colour of her skin,
G
It has the bloom of a rose,
D
You see she begged me to bring a certain painter in,
E A
And for that picture in her bedroom she would pose,
G
Well after a while he was driving me mad,
D
As you could well understand,
E
Sitting in there, day after day,
A
With my wife in the palm of his hand,
D
It was "Madam please do this and Madam please do that",
A
You've never heard such display,
But he didn't mind he was taking his time,
A# C D A
It was me that had to pay,
D
"Oh Madam I think we should take a walk in the woods,
A
You understand it's the light",
And did I mind, no, I was so kind when they,
A# C D
Came back in the middle of the night,
A# C D G D G
And I swear I'll take care of the painter, oh the painter,
D
Well as you can see it was hard for me,
G
But something has to be done,
D E
She only has eyes for him and his lies, and as for me,
A
Not a glance, not a single one,
G
My orders were severe and she disappeared,
D
It really was such a shame,
E
And when they told me she was dead I broke down and said,
A
"It's that painter, it's him, he's to blame,"
D
With his "Madam please do this and Madam please do that",
A
You've never heard such display,
But he didn't mind he was taking his time,
A# C D A
It was me that had to pay,
D
"Oh Madam I think we should take a walk in the woods,
A
You understand it's the light",
And did I mind, no, I was so kind when they,
A# C D
Came back in the middle of the night,
A# C D G
And I hope it's the rope for the painter,
A# C D G
When he's found, it's hellbound for the painter,
D G
I'll get that painter...

08. The Tower 5:22
CGPO 5th - A beautiful ballad
A# - A#maj7 - D# - A#
A# A#maj7
1. G great lord came walking through the forest one morning
D# A#
with a weapon in his hand
A#maj7
rich was his castle, he lacked for nothing
D# F
killing was his plan.
Gm Dm
When a white bird flew by, she fell from the sky,
D# A# Cm F A#
nothing was found, only blood on the ground, she was gone.
A# A#maj7
2. Cursing his fortune, he turned to the forest
D# A#
to kill once again.
A# A#maj7
Standing before him was a lovely young woman
D# F
with her head hung in pain.
Gm Dm
When he saw her, his eyes were filled with desire,
D# A# Cm F
he said, "I must have her, she must be mine !
A# - D# - F
She will be mine !"
A# A#maj7
3. He offered her silver, he offered her gold,
D# A#
but she threw it on the ground.
A# A#maj7
He fell to his knees and he begged her, "Oh please,
D# F
come with me, what you wish will be found."
Gm Dm
She said, "Sir, I'll go if you'll put up your bow,
D# A# Cm F
spare these creatures, leave them in peace.
D
You have no need.”
Cm F A#
But her words were lost in the wind,
D# A# F
his eyes were fixed on a queen.
Gm Dm Cm F A#
And all he saw was a woman but all she was, was a dream.
D# F D Gm D# A# F - F7
Ah ah, ah ah, la la la, la la la, la.
Gm Dm Cm F A#
And all he saw was a woman but all she was, was a dream.
A# A#maj7
4. He took her and bound her with ropes tied around her,
D# A#
to his castle he did ride.
A# A#maj7
In a wood was a bower where stood an old tower,
D# F
and he threw her deep inside.
Gm Dm
Then the birds left the sky and a terrible cry,
D# A# Cm F
brought thunder and lightning, rain falling down,
A#
tears on the ground.
A# A#maj7
5. All through the days on her face he would gaze,
D# A#
for she was lovely as the spring.
A# A#maj7
No words would she speak but, “Leave them in peace!”
D# F
And some sad lament she would sing.
Gm Dm
Oh, one day by the door, at the window he saw
D# A# Cm F
a single white feather lying on the floor :
A# - D#
She was there no more.
F A# A#maj7
6. Now that great lord is dying, his cold heart is crying,
D# A#
for the love of a girl,
A# A#maj7
for many an hour he has wept on the tower,
D# F
for she meant more than the world.
Gm Dm
But once in the sky a white bird flew by,
D# A# Cm F
he lifted his hands, he cried out in pain :
D
“Come back again !”
Cm F A#
But his words were lost in the wind,
D# A# F
his castle was built upon sand.
Gm Dm Cm F A#
All he has is a memory, and all he yearns is her hand.
D# F D Gm D# A# F - F7
Ah ah, ah ah, la la la, la la la, la.
Gm Dm Cm F A#
All he has is this memory, and all he yearns is her hand.
09. Just Another Poor Boy 4:46
F A# F A# F A# F
F Dm A# C F
He was but a traveller on the lonely road of life,
F Dm Gm C
she, her name was Mary, a lady of the night.
A# C A7 Dm
She found him lying in that road, on a winter's night so cold,
Gm C F A# C F A# C
just another poor boy, treat him ri.......ght.
F Dm A# C F
She saw that he was hungry and gave him food to eat,
F Dm Gm C
she knew that he was weary and he had no place to sleep.
A# C A7 Dm
She took him home to her own bed, she lay down his wounded head,
Gm C F A# C F A7
and washed away the world from his hands and his fee......t.
Dm C A#
He was just another poor boy, just another poor boy,
F C Dm C A# C
when he cried out in his sleep she held him tight.
Dm C A#
Just another poor boy, just another poor boy,
F C Dm C A#
and she gave him love and comfort through the night,
Dm C A# F C Dm C A# F A# F
till the morning’s light.
F Dm A# C F
At night she sat beside him, by the fire he would talk,
F Dm Gm C
he said all men were brothers and that love could conquer all,
A# C A7 Dm
Many gathered round to hear, many for his life did fear,
Gm C F A# C F A# C
in troubled times like these men seldom talk....ed.
F Dm Gm C
Oh, they came to him one morning at the breaking of the day,
F Dm Gm C
she woke to hear him calling as they carried him away.
A# C
Accusing him of spreading lies and hate,
A7 Dm
his public meetings were a danger to the state,
A# C D
some soldier said "Who was he anyway?"
Em D C
Just another poor boy, just another poor boy,
G D Em D C D
and the tears were falling from her face like rain.
Em D C
Just another poor boy, just another poor boy,
G D Em D C
and they hung him on the hillside far away.
Em
And on the ground she lay,
D C G D Em D C
do do do do do, poor boy, do do do do do.
Em D Em D Em D Em D Em
Oh, my Lord!
D Em D Em D Em C D
Oh, my Lo.......rd! Oh, my Lord! O..h !
Em D C
Just another poor boy, just another poor boy,
G D Em D C D
and the tears were falling from her face like rain.
Em D C
Just another poor boy, just another poor boy,
G D Em D C D
and they hung him on the hillside far away.
Em D C
Just another poor boy, just another poor boy,
G D Em D C
and she never dreamed she'd see his face again !
