FOREWORD
This is an eighth volume of lyrics
to popular songs, to assist learning to play the guitar by ear, as described in
the article, How to Play the Guitar by Ear (for Mathematicians and
Physicists), posted at Internet web sites http://www.foundation.bw and http://www.foundationwebsite.org
. As discussed in the foreword to Volume
1, the purpose of assembling these lyrics is to provide the student with a
large number of songs from which he may choose ones for which he knows the
melody and enjoys singing. Since
everyone’s taste is different, and the student may not be familiar with the
songs that I know (many from decades ago), it is the intention to provide a
large number of popular songs from which the student may choose. I believe that learning the guitar is
facilitated by practicing a number of different songs in a practice session,
and playing each one only a couple of times, perhaps in a couple of different
keys. In order to do this, it is
important to have a large collection of lyrics available. This volume is a miscellaneous collection of
songs, mainly older popular songs from the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s.
As in Volume I, I have
deliberately omitted noting the chords to be played on each song, if it is my
opinion that the beginning student should be able to figure them out easily –
e.g., chords are omitted for most two-chord or three-chord songs. The purpose of this omission is to provide
the student with the opportunity of learning to determine which chord to use at
each point of the song, quickly and automatically. For more difficult songs, I indicate some of
the chords, and for some songs, I provide chords for the entire song. Where I indicate only a few chords, it is
important to remember, as noted on the cover, that it is assumed that all songs
are sung in the key of A, unless otherwise indicated. (There are a few songs for which the chords
are relatively easy, but I have indicated them nevertheless. These are songs that I was to sing in public
for some occasion, and I did not wish to make a mistake.)
In some cases, I have found songs
already chorded, but in a fashion that is not convenient for the guitar (e.g.,
in the key of Bflat, or with many exotic
chords). In most cases, I have removed
the chords or re-chorded them. In some
cases, however, I have left the songs in “strange” keys or chordings,
to be modified as an exercise by the student.
Many of the songs of this volume
are copyrighted by others. In their
original or available forms, however, they are not helpful for the beginning
student of guitar (e.g., they are arranged for piano, or are written in a key
that is not natural for the guitar, or are fully annotated with chords, or are
in small print). To facilitate reading
by the student as he plays the guitar, they are presented here in a large,
easy-to-read font and with a strong attempt to keep the song to a single page
in length. To facilitate his progress in
learning to play by ear, the chords have been removed in all simple cases. It is for these reasons that I have, in cognizance
of and in the spirit of the “fair use” doctrine of copyright law, reformatted
these songs and presented them in the present volume.
Good luck!

WILLIE NELSON
THE RED-HEADED STRANGER FROM
BLUE ROCK,
RODE INTO TOWN ONE DAY.
AND UNDER HIS KNEES WAS A
RAGIN' BLACK STALLION,
AND WALKIN' BEHIND WAS A BAY.
THE RED-HEADED STRANGER HAD
EYES LIKE THE THUNDER,
AND HIS LIPS, THEY WERE SAD
AND TIGHT.
HIS LITTLE LOST LOVE LAY
ASLEEP ON THE
AND HIS HEART WAS HEAVY AS
NIGHT.
DON'T CROSS HIM, DON'T BOSS
HIM.
HE'S WILD IN HIS SORROW:
HE'S RIDIN' AN' HIDIN HIS
PAIN.
DON'T FIGHT HIM, DON'T SPITE
HIM;
JUST WAIT TILL TOMORROW,
MAYBE HE'LL RIDE ON AGAIN.
A YELLOW-HAIRED LADY LEANED
OUT OF HER WINDOW,
AN' WATCHED
AS HE PASSED HER WAY.
SHE DREW BACK IN FEAR AT THE
SIGHT OF THE STALLION,
BUT CAST GREEDY EYES ON THE
BAY.
BUT HOW COULD SHE KNOW THAT
THIS DANCIN' BAY PONY,
MEANT MORE
TO HIM THAN LIFE.
FOR THIS WAS THE HORSE THAT
HIS LITTLE LOST DARLIN',
HAD RIDDEN
WHEN SHE WAS HIS WIFE.
DON'T CROSS HIM, DON'T BOSS
HIM.
HE'S WILD IN HIS SORROW:
HE'S RIDIN' AN' HIDIN HIS
PAIN.
DON'T FIGHT HIM, DON'T SPITE
HIM;
JUST WAIT TILL TOMORROW,
MAYBE HE'LL RIDE ON AGAIN.
THE YELLOW-HAIRED LADY CAME
DOWN TO THE TAVERN,
AN' LOOKED
UP THE STRANGER THERE.
HE BOUGHT HER A DRINK, AN' HE
GAVE HER SOME MONEY,
HE JUST DIDN'T SEEM TO CARE.
SHE FOLLOWED HIM OUT AS HE
SADDLED HIS STALLION,
AN' LAUGHED
AS SHE GRABBED AT THE BAY.
HE SHOT HER SO QUICK, THEY
HAD NO TIME TO WARN HER,
SHE NEVER HEARD ANYONE SAY:
"DON'T CROSS HIM, DON'T
BOSS HIM.
"HE'S WILD IN HIS
SORROW:
"HE'S RIDIN' AN' HIDIN
HIS PAIN.
"DON'T FIGHT HIM, DON'T
SPITE HIM;
"JUST WAIT TILL
TOMORROW,
"MAYBE HE'LL RIDE ON
AGAIN."
THE YELLOW-HAIRED LADY WAS
BURIED AT SUNSET;
THE STRANGER WENT FREE, OF
COURSE.
FOR YOU CAN'T HANG A MAN FOR
KILLIN' A WOMAN,
WHO'S TRYIN' TO STEAL YOUR HORSE.
TTHIS IS THE TALE OF THE RED
HEADED STRANGER,
AND IF HE SHOULD PASS YOUR
WAY,
STAY OUT OF THE PATH OF THE
RAGIN' BLACK STALLION,
AND DON'T LAY A HAND ON THE
BAY.
DON'T CROSS HIM, DON'T BOSS
HIM.
HE'S WILD IN HIS SORROW:
HE'S RIDIN' AN' HIDIN HIS
PAIN.
DON'T FIGHT HIM, DON'T SPITE
HIM;
JUST WAIT TILL TOMORROW,
MAYBE HE'LL RIDE ON AGAIN.

HER HANDS WERE CALLOUSED, WRINKLED AND OLD
A LIFE OF HARD WORK WAS THE STORY THEY TOLD

COMPLAIN
THOUGH LIFE HAS BEEN BITTER SHE'D LIVE IT AGAIN
AND CARRY THE CROSS THAT IS MORE THAN HER SHARE
ROCKING ALONE IN AN OLD ROCKING CHAIR
IT WOULDN'T TAKE MUCH TO GLADDEN HER HEART
SOME SMALL REMEMBRANCE ON SOMEBODY'S PART
A LETTER WOULD BRIGHTEN HER EMPTY HEART THERE
ROCKING ALONE IN AN OLD ROCKING CHAIR
I KNOW SOME YOUNGSTERS IN AN ORPHAN'S HOME
WOULD THINK THEY OWNED HEAVEN IF SHE WERE THEIR OWN
THEY'D NEVER BE WILLING TO LET HER SIT THERE

(G) THE NEXT VOICE YOU HEAR WILL BE YOUR (C) CONSCIENCE
AS YOU (D) LIE AWAKE AND TRY SO HARD TO (G) SLEEP
AND YOUR UNFAITHFUL HEART WILL HAVE TO (C) LISTEN
TO THOSE (D) SHABBY LITTLE SECRETS YOU (G) KEEP
(CHORUS) YOU'LL BE TOR(G7)MENTED, LIKE YOU TORMENTED (C) ME
AND TEARS OF (A) SHAME WILL FALL WITH EVERY MEMO(D7)RY
OH, THE (G) NEXT VOICE YOU HEAR WILL HAVE YOU (C) LISTEN
AND YOU’LL (D) WISH THAT YOU HAD LISTENED TO (G) ME
YOUR CONSCIENCE IS MAKING A RECORD
OF
EVERYTHING YOU DO AND SAY
AND
WHEN YOUR CONSCIENCE PLAYS THAT RECORD BACK TO YOU
YOU
WON'T LIKE THE THINGS YOU HEAR IT SAY (CHORUS)

(A) GOT A NEW HOUSE WITH NEW LUMBER
EVEN GOT A NEW PHONE NUMBER
DID IT ALL, SINCE WE BROKE A(E)PART
GOT ACQUAINTED WITH NEW FACES
STARTED GOING TO NEW PLACES
BUT I'VE GOT THAT SAME OLD HURT IN MY (A) (high) HEART
GOT A NEW SUIT FOR NEXT SUNDAY
GOT A NEW JOB STARTING MONDAY
GOT EVERYBODY THINKING I'M HALF (E) SMART
GOT A NEW VOCABULARY
EVEN GOT A NEW CANARY
BUT I'VE GOT THAT SAME OLD HURT IN MY (A) HEART
(BRIDGE) NO (D) MATTER WHAT I CHANGE
SAME OLD HURT STAYS THE SAME
ALWAYS (A) THERE REMINDING ME THAT WE'RE A(E)PART
GOT A NEW WALLET FULL OF MONEY
GOT A NEW GIRL WHO CALLS ME 'HONEY'
BUT I'VE GOT THAT SAME OLD HURT IN MY (A) HEART
(REPEAT)
(E) GOT THAT SAME OLD HURT IN MY (A) HEART

(G) IN THE OLD FRENCH QUARTER IN NEW (D) ORLEANS
IN MY DREAMS I WALK ONCE MORE
WITH MY (G) DARLING
IN THE JASMINE-SCENTED NIGHTS
‘NEATH THE (C) MISTY OLD LAMPLIGHTS
IN THE (G) OLD FRENCH (D) QUARTER
IN NEW (G) ORLEANS
WHEN I LEFT SHE HELD
ME TIGHT AND TOLD ME
NOT TO STAY AWAY TOO LONG
BECAUSE SHE LOVED ME
AND THE SILENT TEARDROPS FELL
AS WE KISSED AND SAID FAREWELL
IN THE OLD FRENCH QUARTER IN
NEW ORLEANS
(BRIDGE) BUT (C) SUMMER
TURNED TO WINTER
AND WHEN (G) SPRINGTIME CAME
(A) I RETURNED AND LEARNED
THAT THINGS WERE (D) NOT THE
SAME
AS I SAID GOODBYE TO
OLD NEW ORLEANS
I COULD HEAR THE CHURCH BELLS
RINGING FOR MY DARLING
AND I SLOWLY WALKED AWAY BUT
I KNEW MY HEART WOULD STAY
IN THE OLD FRENCH QUARTER IN
NEW ORLEANS
IN THE OLD FRENCH QUARTER IN
NEW ORLEANS

(A) WELL, THIS IS IT, THAT
(D) DAY IS (A) HERE
THE DAY I (E) KNEW WOULD COME,
WHEN YOU WOULD LEAVE ME (A) DEAR
WELL, HERE I SIT, WHILE (D)
TEARDROPS (A) FALL
AND WONDER (E) WHY I CARE
WHEN YOU DON'T CARE AT (A) ALL
BUT (D) I'M A FOOL THAT WAY,
FROM AWAY BACK (A) WHEN
A FOOL WHO'D (B7) TAKE YOU
BACK IF YOU'D COME BACK A(E)GAIN
BUT (A) THIS IS IT, YOU'RE
(D) GONE, YOU'RE (A) FREE
YOU'LL FIND A(E)NOTHER LOVE, BUT THIS IS IT FOR (A) ME
WELL, THIS IS IT, THAT DAY IS
HERE
IT'S NO SURPRISE AND YET, I
CAN'T HOLD BACK THE TEARS
WELL, HERE I SIT AND TRY TO
GUESS
HOW SUCH AN EMPTY ROOM, SO
FULL OF LONELINESS
WELL, EVEN THE CLOCK HAS
STOPPED
SOMEHOW I GUESS IT KNEW, THAT
TIME'S RUN OUT
FOR ME, IT'S OVER, IT'S ALL
THROUGH
YES, THIS IS IT
YOU'RE GONE, YOU'RE FREE
YOU'LL FIND ANOTHER LOVE
BUT THIS IS IT FOR ME

(A) TROUBLE IN MIND, I'M (E) BLUE
BUT I (A) WON'T BE BLUE AL(D)WAYS
'CAUSE THE (A) SUN'S GONNA
SHINE
ROUND (E) MY BACK DOOR SOME(A)DAY
I'M GOING DOWN TO THE RIVER
I'M GONNA TAKE ME A ROCKING
CHAIR
AND IF THE BLUES DON'T LEAVE
ME
I ROCK ON AWAY FROM HERE
TROUBLE IN MIND, I'M BLUE
BUT I WON'T BE BLUE ALWAYS
'CAUSE THE SUN'S GONNA SHINE
IN MY BACK DOOR SOMEDAY
TROUBLE IN MIND, THAT'S TRUE
I HAVE ALMOST LOST MY MIND
LIFE AIN'T WORTH LIVING
I FEEL LIKE I COULD DIE
TROUBLE IN MIND, I'M BLUE
MY POOR HEART IS HEALING SLOW
I'VE NEVER HAD SUCH TROUBLE
IN MY WHOLE LIFE BEFORE
I'M GONNA LAY MY HEAD
ON SOME LONESOME RAILROAD
LINE
AND LET THAT
EASE MY TROUBLED MIND
TROUBLE IN MIND, I'M BLUE
BUT I WON'T BE BLUE ALWAYS
'CAUSE THE SUN'S GONNA SHINE
IN MY BACK DOOR SOMEDAY
