  If the sun refused to shine,    I would still be lovin’ you
D                        C           G

  Kind woman I give you my all,    kind woman, nothing more
C                        G   
   Little drops of rain,   whisper of the pain,
D
Tears of loves lost in the days gone by
C                    G
   My love is strong,  with you there is no wrong,
  D               D4                D
Together we shall go until we die, my, my, my,
Bm                        E

Bm              E       A
   inspiration look and see

SOLO (D C G D) 3x

D             C                  
And so today, my world it smiles,    
G                                      D 
   your hand in mine we walk the miles
                 C        
Thanks to you it will be done,      
G                                             D 
   for you to me are the only one (I have said)
Bm                 E      Bm              E   A
  Happiness no more be sad,   happiness... I’m glad

When the levee breaks I'll have no place to stay.

E7* E E7** E7*  2x

Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan, 2x
Got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home,
E7* E     E7* E     E7* E
Oh, well, oh, well, oh, well.

E7*                    E
Don't it make you feel bad
When you're trying to find your way home,
You don't know which way to go?
If you're goin' down South
They got no work to do,
If you don't know about Chicago.

Now, cryin' won't help you, praying won't do you no good,

When the levee breaks, mama, you got to move.

Going To California / Brain Damage.mp3

Going To California.mp3

G
Spent my days with a woman unkind,
                                   D
Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine.
Made up my mind to make a new start,
Going to California with an aching in my heart.
Someone told me there's a girl out there
With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair.

F   G   D  x 2

G    
Took my chances on a big jet plane,
                                                                              D
Never let them tell you that they're all the same.
The sea was red and the sky was grey,
Wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today.
The mountains and the canyons started to tremble and shake
As the children of the sun began to awake.

Dm
Seems that the wrath of the gods
Got a punch on the nose and it started to flow;
                     A7  A
I think I might be sinking.
Dm
Throw me a line if I reach it in time
Ill meet you up there where the path
                  A7  A
Runs straight and high.

G 
To find a queen without a king;
                                                                             D
They say she plays guitar and cries as she sings.
Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn
Tryin' to find a woman who's never, never, never been born.
Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams,
Telling myself its not as hard, hard, hard as it seems.
F   G   D  x 2

LYRICS
Is your zept inept?
The Zept Department
Is apt to reconfigure it
The Zept Department
For reconfigurement

Turn it inside out
Reversible
Without a doubt
Turn it upside down
Remarkable!
Become renown

The zept leapt
A leap to the top of the heap
Time crept
A seep until asleep

Give your zept some pep
Perpetuate while they others slept

Well, I'm goin' back to Chattanooga, 
and sleep on sister Irene's floor

OK

Down down down down down

Down down down down down
I'm goin' down
Going back underground
Oh let me down without a sound
Ooh Oh Oh

I'm going down down down down
I'm going down down down down again
You gonna miss me when I'm gone
Believe me when all your tears are gone

I'm going down,  I'm goin' down down down down down
Yes, I got my feet in the window, I got my head on the ground
