FOREWORD
This is a sixth 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!

DON'T KNOW WHEN I'LL BE BACK AGAIN.
OH BABE, I HATE TO GO.
THERE'S SO MANY TIMES I'VE LET YOU DOWN,

SMOKIE
(SONNY BONO, JACK NITZCHE)
I SAW HER TODAY,
I SAW HER FACE,
IT WAS A FACE I LOVED, AND I KNEW,
I HAD TO RUN AWAY,
AND GET DOWN ON MY KNEES AND PRAY
THAT THEY'D GO AWAY,
AND STILL THEY BEGIN,
NEEDLES AND PINS,
BECAUSE OF ALL MY PRIDE,
THE TEARS I GOTTA HIDE.
OH, I THOUGHT I WAS SMART,
I'D WON A HEART,
DIDN'T THINK I DO,
BUT NOW YOU SEE,
SHE'S WORSE TO HIM AND ME,
LET HER GO AHEAD,
AND TAKE THIS LOVE INSTEAD,
AND ONE DAY SHE WILL SEE,
JUST HOW TO SAY "PLEASE",
GET DOWN ON HER KNEES,
THAT'S HOW THEY BEGIN,
YOU'LL FEEL THOSE NEEDLES AND PINS,
HURTIN' HER, HURTIN' HER,
WHAT CAN'T I STOP AND TELL MYSELF I'M WRONG, I'M WRONG, SO WRONG,
WHAT CAN'T I STAND UP, AND TELL MYSELF I'M STRONG.
BECAUSE I SAW HER TODAY ...
I SAW HER FACE,
IT WAS A FACE I LOVED, AND I KNEW,
I HAD TO RUN AWAY,
AND GET DOWN ON MY KNEES AND PRAY,
THAT THEY'D GO AWAY,
AND STILL THEY BEGIN,
NEEDLES AND PINS,
BECAUSE OF ALL MY PRIDE,
THE TEARS I GOTTA HIDE...
NEEDLES AND PINS,
NEEDLES AND PINS,
NEEDLES AND PINS,
NEEDLES AND PINS,
NEEDLES AND PINS,

NEEDLES AND PINS,

SEVENTY SIX TROMBONES
MEREDITH WILSON (FROM THE MUSIC MAN), G
SEVENTY (G) SIX TROMBONES LED THE (D7) BIG PARADE

THEY WERE FOLLOWED BY (G7) ROWS AND ROWS
OF THE (C) FINEST VIRTU(A7)OSOS
THE (D) CREAM OF (A7) EVERY FAMOUS (D) BAND (A7)(D7)
SEVENTY SIX TROMBONES CAUGHT THE MORNING SUN
WITH A HUNDRED AND TEN CORNETS RIGHT BEHIND
THERE WERE MORE THAN A THOUSAND REEDS SPRINGING UP LIKE WEEDS
THERE WERE HORNS OF EVERY SHAPE AND KIND
THERE WERE (C) COPPER BOTTOM (F) TYMPA(C)NI IN (G7) HORSE PLATOONS
THUNDERING, (B7) THUNDERING, (C) ALL ALONG THE WAY (G7)

SEVENTY SIX TROMBONES LED THE BIG PARADE

STARTING OFF WITH A BIG BANG BONG ON A CHINESE GONG

SOLITAIRE
THE CARPENTERS
THERE WAS A MAN
A LONELY MAN
WHO LOST HIS LOVE
THROUGH HIS INDIFFERENCE
A HEART THAT CARED
THAT WENT UNSHARED
UNTIL IT DIED
WITHIN HIS SILENCE
AND SOLITARE'S THE ONLY GAME IN TOWN
AND EVERY ROAD THAT TAKES HIM
TAKES HIM DOWN
AND BY HIMSELF IT'S EASY TO PRETEND
HE'LL NEVER LOVE AGAIN
AND KEEPING TO HIMSELF HE PLAYS THE GAME
WITHOUT HER LOVE
IT ALWAYS ENDS THE SAME
WHILE LIFE GOES ON AROUND HIM EVERYWHERE
HE'S PLAYING SOLITAIRE
A LITTLE HOPE
GOES UP IN SMOKE
JUST HOW IT GOES
GOES WITHOUT SAYING
THERE WAS A MAN
A LONELY MAN
WHO WOULD COMMAND
THE HAND HE'S PLAYING
AND SOLITARE'S THE ONLY GAME IN TOWN
AND EVERY ROAD THAT TAKES HIM
TAKES HIM DOWN
AND BY HIMSELF IT'S EASY TO PRETEND
HE'LL NEVER LOVE AGAIN
AND KEEPING TO HIMSELF HE PLAYS THE GAME
WITHOUT HER LOVE
IT ALWAYS ENDS THE SAME
WHILE LIFE GOES ON AROUND HIM EVERYWHERE
HE'S PLAYING SOLITAIRE
AND SOLITARE'S THE ONLY GAME IN TOWN
AND EVERY ROAD THAT TAKES HIM
TAKES HIM DOWN
WHILE LIFE GOES ON AROUND HIM EVERYWHERE

LET ME TELL YA A STORY ABOUT A BOLL WEEVIL
NOW, SOME OF YOU MAY NOT KNOW, BUT A BOLL WEEVIL IS AN INSECT. AND HE'S FOUND
MOSTLY WHERE COTTON GROWS. NOW, WHERE HE COMES FROM, HM, NOBODY REALLY KNOWS.
BUT THIS IS THE WAY THE STORY GOES.
THE FARMER SAID TO THE BOLL WEEVIL "I SEE YOU'RE ON THE SQUARE" BOLL WEEVIL SAID
TO
THE FARMER "SAY YEP! MY WHOLE DARN FAMILY'S HERE"
<WE GOTTA HAVE A HOME, GOTTA HAVE A HOME>
THE FARMER SAID TO THE BOLL WEEVIL "SAY, WHY DO YOU PICK MY FARM?" THE WEEVIL
JUST
LAUGHED AT THE FARMER 'N' SAID "WE AIN'T GONNA DO YA MUCH HARM"
<WE'RE LOOKING FOR A HO-O-O-O-O,-O-O-O, -O-O-O, O-O-OME"
AND THE BOLL WEEVIL SPOTTED A LIGHTNING BUG. HE SAID "HEY, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A TRADE
WITH YOU. BUT, YA SEE IF I WAS A LIGHTNING BUG, I'D SEARCH THE WHOLE NIGHT THROUGH"
<SEARCHIN' FOR A HOME, I'D HAVE ME PLENTY OF HOME"
AND THE BOLL WEEVIL CALLED THE FARMER, 'N' HE SAID "YA BETTER SELL YOUR OLD MACHINES,
'CAUSE WHEN I'M THROUGH WITH YOUR COTTON, HEH, YOU CAN'T EVEN BUY GASOLINE."
<I'M GONNA STAKE ME A HOME, GOTTA HAVE A HOME>
AND THE BOLL WEEVIL SAID TO THE FARMER, SAID " FARMER, I'D LIKE TO WISH YOU
WELL."
FARMER SAID TO THE BOLL WEEVIL, "YEAH, AN' I WISH THAT YOU WERE IN ****"
<LOOKIN' FOR A HOME, LOOKIN' FOR A HOME>

WRECK OF THE EDMUND FITZGERALD
GORDON LIGHTFOOT
THE LEGEND LIVES ON FROM THE CHIPPEWA ON DOWN
OF THE BIG LAKE THEY CALLED GITCHE GUMEE
THE LAKE, IT IS SAID, NEVER GIVES UP HER DEAD
WHEN THE SKIES OF NOVEMBER TURN GLOOMY
WITH A LOAD OF IRON ORE TWENTY-SIX THOUSAND TONS MORE
THAN THE EDMUND FITZGERALD WEIGHED EMPTY.
THAT GOOD SHIP AND TRUE WAS A BONE TO BE CHEWED
WHEN THE GALES OF NOVEMBER CAME EARLY.
THE SHIP WAS THE PRIDE OF THE AMERICAN SIDE
COMING BACK FROM SOME MILL IN WISCONSIN
AS THE BIG FREIGHTERS GO, IT WAS BIGGER THAN MOST
WITH A CREW AND GOOD CAPTAIN WELL SEASONED
CONCLUDING SOME TERMS WITH A COUPLE OF STEEL FIRMS
WHEN THEY LEFT FULLY LOADED FOR CLEVELAND
AND LATER THAT NIGHT WHEN THE SHIP'S BELL RANG
COULD IT BE THE NORTH WIND THEY'D BEEN FEELIN'?
THE WIND IN THE WIRES MADE A TATTLE-TALE SOUND
AND A WAVE BROKE OVER THE RAILING
AND EVERY MAN KNEW, AS THE CAPTAIN DID TOO,
T'WAS THE WITCH OF NOVEMBER COME STEALIN'.
THE DAWN CAME LATE AND THE BREAKFAST HAD TO WAIT
WHEN THE GALES OF NOVEMBER CAME SLASHIN'.
WHEN AFTERNOON CAME IT WAS FREEZIN' RAIN
IN THE FACE OF A HURRICANE WEST WIND.
WHEN SUPPERTIME CAME, THE OLD COOK CAME ON DECK SAYIN'.
"FELLAS, IT'S TOO ROUGH TO FEED YA."
AT SEVEN P.M. A MAIN HATCHWAY CAVED IN', HE SAID
"FELLAS, IT'S BEEN GOOD T'KNOW YA"
THE CAPTAIN WIRED IN HE HAD WATER COMIN' IN
AND THE GOOD SHIP AND CREW WAS IN PERIL.
AND LATER THAT NIGHT WHEN 'IS LIGHTS WENT OUTTA SIGHT
CAME THE WRECK OF THE EDMUND FITZGERALD.
DOES ANY ONE KNOW WHERE THE LOVE OF GOD GOES
WHEN THE WAVES TURN THE MINUTES TO HOURS?
THE SEARCHES ALL SAY THEY'D HAVE MADE WHITEFISH BAY
IF THEY'D PUT FIFTEEN MORE MILES BEHIND HER.
THEY MIGHT HAVE SPLIT UP OR THEY MIGHT HAVE CAPSIZED;
MAY HAVE BROKE DEEP AND TOOK WATER.
AND ALL THAT REMAINS IS THE FACES AND THE NAMES
OF THE WIVES AND THE SONS AND THE DAUGHTERS.
LAKE HURON ROLLS, SUPERIOR SINGS
IN THE ROOMS OF HER ICE-WATER MANSION.
OLD MICHIGAN STEAMS LIKE A YOUNG MAN'S DREAMS;
THE ISLANDS AND BAYS ARE FOR SPORTSMEN.
AND FARTHER BELOW LAKE ONTARIO
TAKES IN WHAT LAKE ERIE CAN SEND HER,
AND THE IRON BOATS GO AS THE MARINERS ALL KNOW
WITH THE GALES OF NOVEMBER REMEMBERED.
IN A MUSTY OLD HALL IN DETROIT THEY PRAYED,
IN THE MARITIME SAILORS' CATHEDRAL.
THE CHURCH BELL CHIMED TILL IT RANG TWENTY-NINE TIMES
FOR EACH MAN ON THE EDMUND FITZGERALD.
THE LEGEND LIVES ON FROM THE CHIPPEWA ON DOWN
OF THE BIG LAKE THEY CALL GITCHE GUMEE.
"SUPERIOR", THEY SAID, "NEVER GIVES UP HER DEAD
WHEN THE GALES OF NOVEMBER COME EARLY!"
