My One Little Mistake (c) Foggy Records, written by Eric Hughes (CAPO @2)
V: [C]I'm helpless, un[E7]easy, and I [Am]feel a bit obscure [Amsus]
[Dm]I need some love and maybe sympathy [E7][E7sus]
[C]I'm selfish, im[E7sus]patient and a [Am]little inse[F]cure;
[C]I'm sick and tired but [G]maybe you're the [C]cure.

V: Alone with my doubts, mysteries unfold;
Sail away from islands to explore.
Out among the stars, drifting with the cold,
Suddenly, all that’s new is old. [C] [C7]

CH: [F]Alluring and secret, we [C]meet out in the dark;
[G]I wait for a [G7]glance that you appr[E7]ove.[E7sus]
[C]You’re thick in my [E7sus]thoughts, so [Am]heavy and so [F]true.
[C]My one little [G]mistake was finding [C]you.
	
B: [Am]Beaches are [C]behind us and [G]stars now light the[Am]way
Veering toward Orion[C] up [G]ahead
[Am]Address it to the [C]Captain or the [G]First Mate at the [Am]helm
And please don’t leave a [G]single word [C]unsaid.
V: HALF INSTRUMENTAL


V: Out on the road, instincts I ignore;
Playing songs no one ever hears.
Charting out a beat, faster than before
With moonlight creeping slowly toward the shore.

Chorus
[C]My one little [G]mistake was losing[C]you.

"Your Cheatin' Heart" by Hank Williams, 1953

[C]Your cheatin' heart will make you [F]weep
You'll cry and [G]cry and try to [C]sleep
But sleep won't [C]come the whole night [F]through
Your cheatin' [G]heart will tell on [C]you [C7]
 
When tears come [F]down like fallin' [C]rain
You'll toss [D7] around and call my [G] name [G7]
You'll walk the [C]floor the way I [F]do
Your cheatin' [G7]heart will tell on [C]you
 
Instrumental over Chorus (X2)
 
Your cheatin' heart will pine some day
And crave the love you threw away
The time will come when you'll be blue
Your cheatin heart will tell on you
 
When tears come down like fallin' rain
You'll toss around and call my name
You'll walk the floor the way I do
Your cheatin' heart will tell on you
 
½ Chorus Instrumental

You'll walk the floor the way I do
Your cheatin' heart will tell on you

"Wish You Were Here" By  Roger Waters & David Gilmour (c) 1975
PRACTICE TRACK 

IIIm7   V   IIIm7   VI7sus4   V   X2 (lead guitar on #2)

[I]So, so you think you can [II]tell heaven from [VIm]hell?
Blue skies from [V]pain?
Can you tell a green [II]field
From a cold steel [I]rail, a smile from a [VIm]veil?
Do you think you can [V]tell? Did they get you to... 

...trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees, 
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change, did you exchange a walk-on part in the war
For a leading role in a cage?

INSTRUMENTAL

How I wish, how I wish you were here. 
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl
Year after year
Running over the same old ground, what have we found?
The same old fears, wish you were here

Jimmie's Texas Blues by Jimmie Rodgers - this is a practice track.

[C]The way I been treated, some time I wish I was dead;
[F]The way I been treated, some time I wish I was dead;
Lord knows...
[G]'Cause I ain't got no place
To lay my weary head.

When I want you, woman, I always find you gone;
Everytime I want you, I always find you gone;
You're always gone…
Listen here, good mama,
I'm gonna put your air brakes on.

         YODEL/INSTRUMENTAL (Bill)

You may have your troubles, I'm having my troubles, too;
You may have your troubles, I'm having my troubles, too;
Yes, I know how it feels
When you're feeling so doggone blue.


          YODEL/INSTRUMENTAL (Eric)

I'm not singin' the blues, I'm tellin' you the hard luck I've had;
I'm not singin' the blues, I'm just tellin' you ‘bout the hard luck I've had.
The blues ain't nothin', but a good man feeling bad.


Some like Chicago, some love Memphis, Tennessee;
Some like Chicago, some love Memphis, Tennessee.
But give me sweet Oakland, California
Where the women think the world of me.

Melody by John Walter Bratton, lyrics by Jimmy Kennedy:

If you go down in the woods today You're sure of a big surprise. If you go down in the woods today You'd better go in disguise. For every bear that ever there was Will gather there for certain, because Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic. 

Every teddy bear whose been good Is sure of a treat today, They're lots of marvelous things to eat And wonderful games to play. Beneath the trees where nobody sees They'll hide and seek as long as they please, That's the way the teddy bears have their picnic. 

Bridge and verse break...you can march around the room now. 

Chorus: Picnic time for teddy bears, The little teddy bears are having a lovely time today. Watch them, catch them unawares, Love to see them picnic on a holiday. See them gaily gad about. They love to play and shout. They never have any cares. At six o'clock their mommies and daddies Will take them home to bed Because they're tired little teddy bears. 

If you go down in the woods today, You'd better not go alone. It's lovely down in the woods today, But safer to stay at home. For every bear that ever there was Will gather there for certain, because Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic

Am   Em   F   G (start w/Am @ 5th fret)
With [Am]the money from her accident she [G]bought herself a mobile [C]home
So at [G]least she could get some [F]enjoyment out of being[Am]alone[F][G]
No one could [F]say she was left upon the [C]shelf
[G]Its you and me against the world, kid, she’d mumble to herself

When the world falls apart some things stay in [Am]place[F][G]
[F]Levis Stubbs [G]tears roll down his [Am]face[Em]

She [Am]ran away from home in her [G]mother's best [C]coat
She was [G]married before she was [F]even entitled to [Am]5vote[F][G]
And her [F]husband was one of those [C]10blokes
[G]3The sort who only laughs at  [Am]5his own jokes
The [F]sort that a war takes [C]10away
And [G]3when there wasn't a war he left her anyway

When the world falls apart some things stay in [Am]place[F][G]
[F]Levis Stubbs [G]tears roll down his [Am]face[Em]

[F][C]Norman [F][C]Whitfield and [F][C]Barratt [G]Strong

they left her heart in pieces on the [Am]floor[Am-b]

When the [F]world falls apart [G]some things stay in [Am]place[Am-b]
She takes [F]off the Four Tops tape, [G]and puts it back in its [Am-b]case
