LYRICS
From the cradle to the grave
We behave
No time to save
To behave
The meaning of “our home” has grown
My first home was in my mama’s womb
My last one will likely be a tomb
From the bachelor to the empty nest
In between sure is all the rest
From all alone to overgrown
Overgrown to all alone
Home is home where home is
Home overgrown to all alone
From the cradle to the grave
We behave
No time to save
To behave

LYRICS
The skin I’m wearin’
Keeps my insides in
Lord, I pray it won’t wear thin
No, I don’t want to find out about
Letting my insides out
The grin I’m bearin’
’cause the skin I”m wearin’
Keeps my insides in
I wouldn’t know where to begin
Finding out about letting my insides out
No doubt
It wouldn’t be happenin’
Lord it’d be a sin
The skin I’m wearin’
Isn’t wearin’ thin
God… to keep my insides goin’

Coversong originally made famous by Joni Mitchell and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Written by Joni Mitchell

I came upon a child of God
He was walking along the road
And I asked him, where are you going
And this he told me
I’m going on down to Yasgur’s farm
I’m going to join in a rock ‘n’ roll band
I’m going to camp out on the land
I’m going to try an’ get my soul free
We are stardust
We are golden
And we’ve got to get ourselves
Back to the garden
Then can I walk beside you
I have come here to lose the smog
And I feel to be a cog in something turning
Well maybe it is just the time of year
Or maybe it’s the time of man
I don’t know who l am
But you know life is for learning
We are stardust
We are golden
And we’ve got to get ourselves
Back to the garden
By the time we got to Woodstock
We were half a million strong
And everywhere there was song and celebration
And I dreamed I saw the bombers
Riding shotgun in the sky
And they were turning into butterflies
Above our nation
We are stardust
Billion year old carbon
We are golden
Caught in the devil’s bargain
And we’ve got to get ourselves
Back to the garden

Coversong originally made famous by Golden Earring
Written by George Kooymans / Barry Hay

Capo 2 (transposed from f#m)

NC                (Em)       
I've been drivin' all night,
My hand's wet on the wheel.
There's a voice in my head,
That drives my heel.
It's my baby callin',
Says, "I need you here."
And it's a half past four,
And I'm shifting gear.

D5
When she is lonely,
            A5               E5
And the longing gets too much.
D5
She sends a cable,
         A5    G5/A  A5/B
Coming in from above.
B5                  A5/B
Don't need a phone at all.
C           G5           D5           E5
We've got a thing that's called Radar Love,
C           G5              D5
We've got a wave in the air.
NC    (Em7)
Radar Love.

The road has got me hypnotized
And I’m speedin’ into a new sunrise
When I get lonely and I’m sure I’ve had enough
She sends her comfort comin’ in from above
We don’t need no letter at all
We’ve got a thing that’s called radar love
We’ve got a light in the sky, radar love

No more speed, I’m almost there
Gotta keep cool now, gotta take care
Last car to pass, here I go
And the line of cars drove down real slow
And the radio played that forgotten song
Brenda Lee’s comin’ on strong
And the newsman sang his same song
Oh one more radar lover gone
When I get lonely and I’m sure I’ve had enough
She sends her comfort comin’ in from above
We don’t need no letter at all
We’ve got a thing that’s called radar love
We’ve got a light in the sky
We’ve got a thing that’s called radar love
We’ve got a thing that’s called radar love

LYRICS
I’m a little shy
About the great gig in the sky
I might just wait
While I anticipate
Find the answer to the question why
Let’s do one more song
Before we move along
Reveal our inner core
One more encore’s in store
For sure, can’t go wrong with: “One more song!”

I’m a little shy
Joining the great gig in the sky
Don’t mind hangin’ ’round
Until the answer’s found
’till we know why we’ve gotta die
CHORUS

One more song before we go
Do you know “Row, Row, Row”?
Life is but a team dream
From the pulse we ween
Rocking to and fro… here we go

LYRICS
Quick as a whip
Sharp as a tack
And then some
Stiff upper lip
Under attack
And troublesome
May the troubles of your day
All fade away
Your love for happiness is here to stay

What a great trip
Not coming back
From holiday
Got a good grip
Picked up slack
We’re underway
May the troubles of your day
All fade away
Your love for happiness is here to stay

Now let ‘er rip
Better stand back
Clear of foray
Toast and a sip
You’re got the knack
For hooray
May the troubles of your day
All fade away
Your love for happiness is here to stay

LYRICS
Through time-space
Gemini race
I’m dreaming I’m with you
Combined one from two
Through space-time
Know that I’m
Dreaming through and through
Dreaming of you

Mental projection
Gentle affection
I’m dreaming I’m with you
Combined one from two
Spirits behave
As particle-wave
Know that I’m
Dreaming through and through
Dreaming of you

Through heaven’s grace
Traveling through space
I’m with you
Dreaming, too
I’m with you
Dreaming two

LYRICS
I’m feeling the amplitude
Of your magnitude
The soul-it-tude
Of your attitude
Feelin’ in the power of our hour
Sour and sweet, sweet and sour

Not to waste
I’m feeling the fortitude
Of your amplitude
Sole mood soul mode
Leapt in step
Wept in joy
Enjoy

LYRICS
If life is like a bowl of lemons
Do you grow tired of sour sermons
If someone hands you a cherry
Does the amount of pits every vary
It seems to me the simile
Compares to life too simply
If the world is but a stage
Does it depend upon your age
Are you caught up in the rat race
Growing older… try to keep pace
It seems to me the analogy
Compares to life too simply
Same old story: ring around the rosie
When I die, fill my pockets with posies
Life is but a dream, we sing the round
Ashes to ashes, we all fall down
It seems there must be more
Than life as a metaphor

If you want to open your eyes
There’s a big surprise
Cross your t’s and dot your i’s
It’s time to arise

Too many cooks in the kitchen
Too much belly achin’ bitchin’
Your works need lubrication
We’ll overcome all that friction

If you want to overcome your situation
Cross your heart and you’ll acquire imagination

LYRICS
Pondering what this world is about
Will it turn my insides out
Does She know who I really am
Does She know what comes from within

Is your life a fairy tale
Does it end in pass of fail?
Can you forget all you regret
Can you forgive the way you live

Is your impression major depression
Or do you turn sick to manic
How about a lifelong jam session
Deep and thick long-live music

Let’s take what we’ve got and make it a lot
Carefree and happily enjoying the “Be”
Let no regret vet all worries forgot
Clear path and blue sky is all we see

Hey, hey, hey
I don’t know what to say
The heat and humidity
Is drying up humanity
Is frying up our sanity
We’re melting away
Tell me what to do

From the demise of me and you
We can arise and start anew

Hey, hey, hey

Fading of vanity
Curing of insanity
We’re here to stay

LYRICS
Enough of me, my, mine
All the time
Wonder if mankind
Is doing fine?
This planet that we bent
It’s time to pay the rent
The message that we sent
Wonder if it went
(I don’t know
Did it go?)

If this is our final hour
Let us muster the power
If we could get it together
Prolong the chance of forever
What’s up with vinegar and piss
What’s up with all of this?
Possibly we could mend
Before bringing on “The End”
The End
