Summer days drifting away to, uh oh, those summer nights.

D G A G D G A G
3. Took her bowling in the arcade, we went strolling, drank lemonade,
D G A B7 E A E A
we made out under the dock, we stayed out till ten o'clock.
D G A Bm G A D
Summer fling don't mean a thing, but, uh oh, those summer nights.
D G E A D
Tell me more, tell me more, but you don't gotta brag!
D G E A D - G
Tell me more, tell me more, 'cause he sounds like a drag.
D G A G
Dschubapbap, dschubapbap, dschubapbap, dschubapbap,
D G A G
dschubapbap, dschubapbap, dschubapbap, yeah !
D G A G
4. He got friendly holding my hand,
D G A G
well, she got friendly down in the sand.
D G A B7
He was sweet, just turned eighteen,
E A E A
well, she was good, you know what I mean.
D G A Bm G A D
Summer heat, boy and girl meet, but, uh oh, those summer nights.
D G E A D
Tell me more, tell me more ! How much dough did he spend?
D G E A D
Tell me more, tell me more ! Could she get me a friend?
D G A G D G A G
5. It turned colder, that's where it ends, so I told her we'd still be friends.
D G A B7 E A E A
Then we made our true love vow. Wonder what she's doin' now.
D G A Bm
Summer dreams ripped at the seams,
G A D G D
but, oh, those summer nights. Tell me more, tell me more.

The finest years I ever knew, were all the years I had with you.

I would give anything I own, just to have you back again.

Angel of the morning
Tom: G
G C D C G C
1. There`ll be no strings to bind your hands, not if my love can`t bind your heart.
D-C-G C D C G C-D-C
And there`s no need to take a stand, for it was I who chose to start.
Am C D -C-Am C D - D7
I see no need to take me home, I`m old enough to face the dawn.

If You love me (LET ME KNOW)
Tom: D
D
1. You came when I was happy in your sunshine,
D7 G
I grew to love you more each passing day.
D
Before too long I built my world around you,
Em A D
and I prayed you'd love enough of me to stay.
- - - G D
If you love me let me know, if you don't then let me go,
A D
I can't take another minute of a day without you in it.
D7 G D
If you love me let it be, if you don't then set me free,
A A7 G-D
take the chains away that keep me loving y...ou.
- A - A7 - G - D D
2. The arms that open wide to hold me closer,
D7 A
the hands that run their fingers through my hair.
G D
The smile that says, "Hello, it's good to see you!"
Em A A7
Anytime I turn around to find you there.
D
3. It's this and so much more that makes me love you,
D7 G
what else can I do to make you see.
D
You know you have whatever's mine to give you,
Em A D
but a love affair for one can never be. + REFRAIN + G - D

Over the Rainbow
Tom: C
C Am Em F C
1. Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high,
F C Dm G7 - C -G
there's a land that I heard of, once in a lullaby.
C Am Em F C
Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue,
F C Dm G7 C
and the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.
C
Someday I'll wish upon a star,
G C - G
and wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
C
Where troubles melt like lemon drops,
D G Dm G - G7
away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me.
C Am Em F C
2. Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly,
F C Dm G7 C
birds fly over the rainbow, why then, oh why can't I ?
C G
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow,
G7 C
why, oh why can't I?
Changes
Tom: A
A
1. We said a million times we'd change,
can't bring myself to say those words again.
D E
A piper never changes tune,
D A
you can't grow apples on the moon.
A
2. The hurtful things we say still penetrate,
and whispered "sorry"s always come too late.
D E
Then the damage has been done,
D A
what are we going to tell our son?
D A
I want to spare his broken heart,
D A
break it gently that we'll live apart.
E D
Don't know the proper way to say ,
A
he won't be seeing daddy every day.
A
3. Those weekly outings never work, you know,
buying gifts and candy, picture shows.
D E
They can't replace the man around,
D A
your voice, your touch, your manly sound.
A
4. I guess the trouble is I love you still,
and if it comes to that, I always will.
D E
No, please don't cry, it's just too late,
D A
now hurry on, she's waiting at the gate.
Follow Me
Tom :Em
Em D G
It's by far the hardest thing I've ever done,
C G Am D
to be so in love with you and so alone.
G C G C
Follow me where I go, what I do and who I know,
G C D
make it part of you to be a part of me.
G C G C
Follow me up and down, all the way, round and round,
G C D G
take my hand and say you'll follow me.
G D C G
1. It's long been on my mind, you know it's been a long, long time,
Em D C D
I've tried to find a way that I could make you understand,
C G C G
the way I feel about you, and just how much I need you,
Am G C G
to be there when I can talk to you,
Am D
when there's no one else around. + REFRAIN
G D
2. You see, I'd like to share my life with you,
C G
and show you things I've seen,
Em D C D
places that I'm going to, and places where I've been.
C G C G
To have you there beside me, we'll never be alone,
Am G C G
and all the time that you're with me,
Am D
then we will be at home + REFRAIN
If You could read my mind
Tom: D
D C
1. If you could read my mind, love, what a tale my thoughts could tell,
D C
just like an old-time movie about a ghost from a wishing well,
D D7 G
in a castle dark or a fortress strong,
A Bm G D
with chains upon my feet, you know that ghost is me.
G D G A D
And I will never be set free, as long as I'm a ghost that you can't see.
D C
2. If I could read your mind, love, what a tale your thoughts could tell.
D C
just like a paperback novel, the kind that drugstores sell.
D D7 G
When you reach the part where the heartaches come,
A h G D
the hero would be me, the hero often fails.
G D
And you won't read that book again,
G A D
because the ending's just too hard to take.
3. Instr. ( = verse 1, lines 1 - 2 : ) D - C - D - C
D D7 G
I'll walk away like a movie star,
A Bm G D
who gets burned in a three-way script, enter number two.
G D
A movie queen, a play, the scene
G A Bm
are bringing all the good things out in me,
G D
but for now, love, let's be real.
G D
I never thought I could act this way,
G A
and I've got to say, I just don't get it.
G D
I don't know where we went wrong,
G A D ~
but the feeling's gone and I just can't get it back.
D C
4. If you could read my mind, love, what a tale my thoughts could tell,
D C
just like an old-time movie about a ghost from a wishing well,
D D7 G
in a castle dark or a fortress strong,
A Bm G D
with chains upon my feet, the story always ends.
G D
If you could read between the lines,
G A Bm
you'll know that I'm just tryin' to understand,
G D
the feeling that you lost.
G D
I never thought I could feel this way,
G A
and I've got to say, I just don't get it.
G D
I don't know where we went wrong,
G A D - C - D
but the feeling's gone and I just can't get it back.
I Honestly love You
Tom: G
G D
1. Maybe I hang around here a little more than I should,
F C
we both know I got somewhere else to go.
G A A7
But I got something to tell you, that I never thought I would,
C Am - D
but I believe you really ought to know.
G - D - C G - D - C
I love you, I honestly love you.
G D
2. You don't have to answer, I see it in your eyes,
F C
maybe it was better left unsaid.
G A A7
This is pure and simple, and you mustrealize ,
C Am - D
that it's coming from my heart and not my head.
G - D - C G - D - F - G
I love you, I honestly love you.
C D Bm - Em
I'm not trying to make you feel uncomfortable,
C D G - H7
I'm not trying to make you anything at all,
Em D C
but this feeling doesn't come along everyday,
G
and you shouldn't blow the chance,
Am D
when you've got the chance to say :
G - D - C - Cm G
I love you, I love you, I honestly love you.
G D
If we both were born in another place and time,
F C
this moment might be ending in a kiss.
G A A7
But there you are with your heart, and here I am with mine,
C a - D
so I guess we'll just be leaving it at this.
G - D - C G - D - C
I love you, I honestly love you,
G - D - C - G
I honestly love you.
Please, Mr. Please
Tom: D
D
1. In the corner of the bar there stands a jukebox,
Em - A
with the best of country music, old and new,
A7 A
you can hear your five selections for a quarter,
A7 D
and somebody else's songs when yours are through.
D
I got good Kentucky whiskey on the counter,
D7 G
and my friends around to help me ease the pain,
D
'til some button-pushing cowboy plays that love song,
Em A D
and here I am just missing you again.
- - - - - - D Em - A
Please, Mr., please, don't play B -17,
Em A G-D
it was our song, it was his song, but it's over.
Em A
Please, Mr., please, if you know what I mean,
Em A D
I don't ever wanna hear that song again.
D
2. If I had a dime for every time I held you,
Em - A
though you're far away, you've been so close to me.
A7 A
I could swear I'd be the richest girl in Nashville,
A7 D
maybe even in the state of Tennessee.
D
But I guess I'd better get myself together ,
D7 G
'cause when you left, you didn't leave too much behind,
D
just a note that said, "I'm sorry", by your picture,
Em A D
and a song that's weighing heavy on my mind.
