THE AMERICAN SONG BOOK - PART ONE FIFTY YEARS IN FOUR MINUTES
1961 Bb Jumped outtta bed, turned on the light, I pulled down the shade went to the kitchen for a bite
rolled up the shade, turned off the light
I jumped back into bed it was the middle of the night
1966 cmin hot town summer in the city back of my neck getting dirty and grity
ben down isn't it a pity
doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city
all around people looking half dead walking on the sidewalk hotter than matchhead
1971 D maj joy to to the world all the boys and girls now
joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea joy to you and me
1976 B maj tonight's the night it's gonna be alright cause I love you girl ain't nobody gonna stop us now
1981 Bb maj And she'll tease you She'll unease you All the better just to please you
She precocious And she knows just what it takes to make a pro blush
all the boys think she's a spy she's got Bette Davis Eyes
1986 D maj Keep smilin' Keep shinin' Knowin' you can always count on me
for sure that's what friends are for
1991 Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
You can't tell me it's not worth dyin' for
You know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you
1996 East side to the west side Pushing phat rides, it's no surprise
She got tricks in the stash Stacking up the cash
Fast when it comes to the gas By no means average
She's on when she's got to have it Baby, you're a perfect ten, I wanna get in
Can I get down, so I can win
I like the way you work it No diggity, I got to bag it up, bag it up
2001 G maj And then I saw her face, Now I'm a believer. Not a trace Of doubt in my mind. I'm in love (oooooo) I'm a believer, I couldn't leave her if I tried
2006 c minor I remember when I remember I remember when I lost my mind there was something so pleasant about that place even your emotions have an echo in so much space. And when you're out there without care yeah I was out of touch but it wasn't because I didn't know enough, I just knew too much. does that make me crazy?
2011 Ab major do you ever feel like a plastic bag drifting through the wind wanting to start again...
