Way, The Page 1 of 1
The Way
By Fastball
Em
They made up their minds
Am
And they started packing
B7
Em
They left before the sun came up that day
E7
Am
An exit to eternal summer slacking
Em
B7
But where were they going without ever
Em
Knowing the way?
Em
They drank up the wine
Am
And they got to talking
B7
Em
They now had more important things to say
E7
Am
When the car broke down they started walking
Em
B7
Where were they going without ever
Em
D
Knowing the way?
CHORUS
D
G
Anyone can see the road that they walk on
D
Is paved with gold
Em
It's always summer
B7
They'll never get cold
C
They'll never get hungry
G
D
They'll never get old and grey
G
D
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
Em
They won't make it home
B7
But they really don't care
C
They wanted the highway
G
D
B7
They're happier there today…..today
Em
Their children woke up
Am
And they couldn't find them
B7
Em
They left before the sun came up that day
E7
Am
They just drove off and left it all behind'em
Em
B7
But where were they going without ever
Em
Knowing the way?

Son of a Son of a Sailor
By Jimmy Buffett
G
As the son of a son of a sailor
F
C
G
I went out on the sea for adventure
C
G
Expanding the view of the captain and crew
D
G
Like a man just released from indenture
As a dreamer of dreams and a traveling man
F
C
G
I have chalked up many a mile
C
G
Read dozens of books about heroes and crooks
D
G
And I learned much from both of their styles
Chorus:
F
C
Son of a son, son of a son
G
Son of a son of a sailor
F
C
Son of a gun, load the last ton
G
One step ahead of the jailer
G
Now away in the near future
F
C
G
Southeast of disorder
C
G
You can shake the hand of the Mango man
D
G
As he greets you at the border
And the lady she hails from Trinidad
F
C
G
Island of the spices
C
G
Salt for your meat and cinnamon sweet
D
G
And the rum is for all your good vices
F
C
Haul the sheet in as we ride on the wind
G
That our forefathers harnessed before us
F
C
Hear the bells ring as the tide rigging sings
G
It's a son of a gun of a chorus
G
When it all ends I can't fathom my friends
F
C
G
If I knew I might toss out my anchor
C
G
So I'll cruise along always searchin’ for songs
D
G
Not a lawyer a thief or a banker
F
C
But a son of a son, son of a son
G
Son of a son of a sailor
F
C
Son of a gun, load the last ton
G
One step ahead of the jailer
F
C
I'm just a son of a son, son of a son
G
Son of a son of a sailor
F
C
The sea's in my veins, my tradition remains
G
I'm just glad I don't live in a trailer
ENDING:

G
Margaritaville (Jimmy Buffett)
C
Nibblin’ on sponge cake, watchin’ the sun bake
G
All of those tourists covered with oil
Strummin’ my four-string, on my front porch swing
C
C7
Smell those shrimp they're beginnin’ to boil
Chorus:
F
G
C
C7
Wastin’ away again in Margaritaville
F
G
C C7
Searching for my lost shaker of salt
F
G
C
F
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
G
C
1st Chorus: But I know,
it's nobody’s fault
2nd Chorus: Now I think,
hell it could be my fault
3rd Chorus: But I know,
it’s my own damn fault
C
I don't know the reason, I stayed here all season
G
With nothin’ to show but this brand new tattoo
But it's a real beauty, a Mexican cutie
C
C7
How it got here I haven't a clue
Chorus
C
I blew out my flip-flop, Stepped on a pop-top
G
Cut my heel had to cruise on back home
But there's booze in the blender, and soon it will render
C
C7
That frozen concoction that helps me hang on
Chorus
Ending:
F
G
C
F
Yes and, some people claim that there's a woman to blame
G
C
And I know,
it's my own damn fault

I've had liquid laughs in bars,
D
And I've hurled from moving cars,

But if I could choose the spot,
D
To regurgitate me lot,
A

A
Then I'd chunder in the old Pacific Sea.

"Big Rock Candy Mountain"
traditional (this version taken from Harry McClintock)
C
F
G7
Introduction:
One [C]evening as the sun went down
And the jungle fire was burning,
Down the track came a hobo hikin',
And he said, "Boys, I'm not turning.
I'm [F]headed for a [C]land that's [F]far a[C]way,
Be[F]side the crystal [G7]fountains,
So [C]come with me, we'll go and see,
The Big Rock [G7]Candy [C]Mountains."
Verse 1:
Verse 3:
"[C]In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
There's a [F]land that's fair and [C]bright,
Where the [F]handouts grow on [C]bushes,
And you [F]sleep out every [G7]night,
Where the [C]boxcars all are empty,
And the [F]sun shines every [C]day,
On the [F]birds and the [C]bees
And the [F]cigarette [C]trees,
The [F]lemonade [C]springs
Where the [F]bluebird [C]sings,
In the [G7]Big Rock Candy [C]Mountains."
"[C]In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
You [F]never change your [C]socks,
And the [F]little streams of [C]alcohol
Come a-[F]tricklin' down the [G7]rocks,
The [C]brakemen have to tip their hats
And the [F]railroad bulls are [C]blind.
There's a [F]lake of [C]stew,
And of [F]whiskey [C]too,
You can [F]paddle all a[C]round 'em
In a [F]big ca[C]noe,
In the [G7]Big Rock Candy [C]Mountains."
Verse 2:
Verse 4:
"[C]In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
All the [F]cops have wooden [C]legs,
And the [F]bulldogs all have [C]rubber teeth,
And the [F]hens lay soft boiled [G7]eggs.
The [C]farmers' trees are full of fruit
And the [F]barns are full of [C]hay.
Oh, I'm [F]bound to [C]go
Where there [F]ain't no [C]snow,
Where the [F]rain don't [C]fall
And the [F]wind don't [C]blow,
In the [G7]Big Rock Candy [C]Mountains."
"[C]In the Big Rock Candy Mountains,
The [F]jails are made of [C]tin,
And [F]you can walk right [C]out again,
As [F]soon as you are [G7]in.
There [C]ain't no short-handled shovels,
No [F]axes, saws, or [C]picks,
I'm a-[F]going to [C]stay,
Where you [F]sleep all [C]day,
Where they [F]hung the [C]jerk,
Who in[F]vented [C]work,
I'll [F]see you [C]all
This [F]coming [C]fall,
In the [G7]Big Rock Candy [C]Mountains."
