Don’t Stop Believing - Journey

E B C#m A
Just a smal town girl, living in a lonely world
E B G#m A
She took the midnight train going anywhere

E B C#m A
Just a city boy, born and raised in south Detroit
E B G#m A
He took the midnight train going anywhere

E B C#m A
A singer in a smoky room, a smel of wine and cheap perfume
E B G#m A
For a smile they can share the night, it goes on and on and on and on

A E
Strangers waiting up and down the boulevard
A E
Their shadows searching in the night
A E
Streetlight, people, living just to find emotion
A E
Hiding, somewhere in the night

E B C#m A
Working hard to get my fill, everybody wants a thril
E B G#m A
Paying anything to rol the dice, just one more time

E B C#m A
Some wil win, some wil lose, some were born to sing the blues
E B G#m A
Oh, the movie never ends; it goes on and on and on and on

A E
Strangers waiting up and down the boulevard
A E
Their shadows searching in the night
A E
Streetlight, people, living just to find emotion
A E
Hiding, somewhere in the night

Don't stop believing hold on to the feeling

Yellow Submarine - The Beatles

G D C G
In the town where I was born
Em Am C G
Lived a man who sailed to sea
G D C G
And he told us of his life
Em Am C D
In the land of submarines
G D C G
So we sailed up to the sun
Em Am C G
Til we found the sea of green
G D C G
And we lived beneath the waves
Em Am C D
In our yellow submarine

CHORUS:
G D
We al live in a yellow submarine
G
Yel ow submarine, yellow submarine
G D
We al live in a yellow submarine
G
Yel ow submarine, yellow submarine

And our friends are all on board
Many more of them live next door
And the band begins to play ...CHORUS

As we live a life of ease
Everyone of us has al we need
Sky of blue and sea of green
In our yellow submarine ...CHORUS TWICE

The Kinks - Waterloo Sunset

D A G
1. Dirty old river, must you keep rol ing, rol ing into the night
D A G
People so busy make me feel dizzy, taxi lights shine so bright
Em B Em7 A
But i don't need no friends
D A G G B E
As long as i gaze on Waterloo Sunset, i am in paradise
E7 A G B E
Every day i look at the world from my window
E7 A7
The chil y-chilliest evening time, Waterloo sunset's fine.


2. Terry meets Julie, Waterloo Station, every Friday night
But i am so lazy, don't want to wander, i stay at home at night
But i don't feel afraid
As long as i gaze on Waterloo Sunset, i am in paradise
Every day i look at the world from my window
The chil y chil iest evening time, Waterloo sunset's fine.

3. Mil ions of people swarming like flies round Waterloo underground
Terry and Julie cross over the river where they feel safe and sound
And they don't need no friends
As long as they gaze on Waterloo Sunset, they are in paradise
Every day i look at the world from my window
The chil y chil iest evening time, Waterloo sunset's fine.
