1...SNOW IN SAN ANSELMO... by Van Morrison
--------------------------................
Snow in San An-selmo,
The deer cross by the lights.
The mission down in Old San Rafael;
A madman looking for a fight,
A madman looking for a fight.
The massage parlour's open,
The clientele come and they go.
The classic music station;
Plays in the background soft and low,
Plays in the background soft and low.
Jazz Break 1:
The silence 'round the cascades,
The ice crisp and clear.
The be-ginning of the opera;
Seem to suddenly ap-pear,
Seem to suddenly ap-pear.
The pancake house is always crowded,
Open 24 hours of every day.
And if you suffer from in-somnia;
You can speed your time a-way,
You can speed your time a-way.
Snow in San An-selmo,
My waitress, my waitress,
My waitress said it was coming down.
Said it hadn't happened in over 30 years;
But it was laying on the ground,
It was laying on the ground.
Jazz Break 2:

(with Intro Riff):
Look at the ivy on the cold clinging wall,
Look at the flowers and the green grass so tall.
It's not a matter of when push comes to shove,
It's just an hour on the wings of a dove.
It's just warm love,
It's just warm love.
(with Intro Riff):
I dig it when you're fancy dressed up in lace,
I dig it when you have a smile on your face.
This inspiration's got to be on the flow,
This invitation's got to see it and know;
It's just warm love,
It's just warm love.
And it's everpresent everywhere,
And it's everpresent everywhere; that warm love.
And it's everpresent everywhere,
And it's everpresent everywhere; that warm love.
To the country, I'm going;
Lay and laugh in the sun.
You can bring your gui-tar a-long,
We'll sing some songs, we'll have some fun.
(with Intro Riff):
The sky is crying and it's time to go home,
And we shall hurry to the car from the foam.
Sit by the fire and dry out our wet clothes,
It's raining outside from the skies up a-bove.
Inside it's warm love,
Inside it's warm love.
And it's everpresent everywhere,
And it's everpresent everywhere; that warm love.
And it's everpresent everywhere, and it's everpresent everywhere;
That warm love, that warm love, that warm love.

Hey kids, dig the first takes,
Ain't that some interpre-tation?
When Sinatra sings, against Nelson Riddle strings,
Then takes a va-cation.
Seen some hard times, drawn some bad lines.
No time for shoe-shines... hard nose the highway.
I was tore down, at the dead's place,
Shaved head at the organ.
But that wasn't half as bad as it was, oh no,
Belfast and Boston.
Seen some hard times, drawn some bad lines.
No time for shoe-shines... hard nose the highway.
Put your money where your mouth is,
Then we can get something going.
In order to win, you must be prepared to lose some-time,
And leave one or two cards showing.
Seen some hard times, drawn some bad lines.
No time for shoe-shines... hard nose the highway.
Seen some hard times, drawn some bad lines.
No time for shoe-shines... hard nose the highway.

4...WILD CHILDREN... by Van Morrison
--------------------................
We were the war children; Nineteen Forty Five.
When all the soldiers came marching home from war;
Love looks in their eye, in their eye.
Tennessee Williams; let your inspi-ration flow.
Let it be around, when we hear the sound,
When the spring time rivers flow, when the rivers flow.
Rod steiger and Marlon Brando,
Standing with their heads bowed on the side.
Crying like a baby, thinking about the time,
James Dean took that fatal ride, took that ride.
Tennessee Williams; let your inspi-ration flow.
Let it be around, when we hear the sound,
When the spring time rivers flow, when the rivers flow.
Rod steiger and Marlon Brando,
Standing with their heads bowed on the side.
Crying like a baby, thinking about the time,
James Dean took that fatal ride, took that ride.
We were the war children; Nineteen Forty Five.
When all the soldiers came marching home from war;
Love looks in their eye, in their eye.

5...THE GREAT DECEPTION... by Van Morrison
--------------------------................
Did you ever hear a-bout The Great De-ception?
Well, the plastic revolutionaries take the money and run.
Have you ever been down to Love City?
Where they rip you off with a smile, and it don't take a gun.
Don't it hurt so bad in Love city?
Don't it make you not want to bother at all?
And don't they look so self righteous,
When they pin you up a-gainst the wall?
Did you ever, ever see the people,
With the tear drops in their eyes?
I just can't stand it, stand it no how,
Living in this world of lies.
Did you ever hear a-bout the Rock and Roll singers?
Got three or four Cadil-lacs.
Saying power to the people, dance to the music;
Wants you to pat him on the back.
Have you ever heard a-bout the great Rembrandt?
Have you ever heard a-bout how he could paint?
And he didn't have e-nough money for his brushes;
And they thought it was rather quaint.
But you know it's no use re-peating,
And you know it's no use to think about it.
'Cos when you stop to think a-bout it; you don't need it.
Have you ever heard a-bout the great Hollywood motion picture actor,
Who knew more than they did?
And the newspapers didn't cover the story;
Just decided to keep it hid.
Somebody started saying it was an inside job;
Whatever happened to him?
Last time they saw him, down on the bow'ry;
With his lip hanging off an old rusty bottle of gin.
Have you ever heard a-bout the so-called Hippies?
Down on the far side of the tracks.
They take the eyeballs straight out of your head,
Say son, kid, do you want your eyeballs back?
Did you ever, ever see the people,
With the tear drops in their eyes?
I just can't stand it, stand it no how,
Living in this world of lies.
Did you ever hear a-bout The Great De-ception?
Well, the plastic revolutionaries take the money and run.
Have you ever been down to Love City?
Where they rip you off with a smile, and it don't take a gun.
Have you ever heard about... The Great Deception.

6...BEIN' GREEN... by Van Morrison
------------------................
(Original Key: )
It's not easy bein' green,
Having to spend each day the colour of the leaves.
When it could be nicer bein' red, or yellow, or gold,
Or something much more colour-ful like that.
It's not easy bein' green,
It seems you blend in with so many other ordinary things.
And people tend to pass you by 'cos you're not standing out,
Like sparkles on the water, or stars in the sky.
But green is the colour of spring,
And green can be cool and friendly like.
And green can be big like an ocean,
Or important like a mountain, or tall like a tree.
When green is all there is to be,
It could make you wonder why, but why wonder, why wonder?
I am green and it'll do fine, and it's what I want to be.
But green is the colour of spring,
And green can be cool and friendly like.
And green can be big like an ocean,
Or important like a mountain, or tall like a tree.
When green is all there is to be,
It could make you wonder why, but why wonder, why wonder?
I am green and it'll do fine, and it's what I want to be.
I am green and it'll do fine, and it's what I want to be.
I am green and it'll do fine, it'll do fine, and it's...
I don't wanna be blue, I just wanna be what I wanna be.

7...AUTUMN SONG... by Van Morrison
------------------................
Leaves of brown, they fall to the ground,
And it's here, over there; leaves a-bound.
Shut the door, dim the lights, and relax.
What is more; your de-sire, or the facts?
Pitter patter, the rain falling down,
Little glamour, sun coming round.
Take a walk when Autumn comes to town.
Little stroll past the house, on the hill.
Some more coal on the fire, will do well.
And in a week or two, it'll be Halloween.
Set the page and the stage, for the scene.
Little game the children will play,
And as we watch them, while time away.
Look at me and take my breath a-way, yeah.
You'll be smiling, eyes be-guiling,
And the song on the breeze will call my name out,
And your...dream.
Chestnuts roasting, out-side,
As you walk, with your love, by your side.
The old accordion man plays, mellow and bright.
And you go home, in the crispness, of the night.
Little later, friends will be along,
And if you feel like joining the throng,
Just might feel like singing Autumn Song.
You'll be smiling, eyes be-guiling,
And the song on the breeze will call my name out,
And your...dream.
Chestnuts roasting, out-side,
As you walk, with your love, by your side.
The old accordion man plays, mellow and bright.
And you go home, in the crispness, of the night.
Little later, friends will be along,
And if you feel like joining the throng,
Just might feel like singing Autumn Song.

8...PURPLE HEATHER... by Van Morrison
---------------------................
Well the summertime, has gone, and the leaves are gently tur-nin'.
And my love I wanna take you, to the place, heart-a-yearnin'.
Will you go, lassie go?
And we'll all go to-gether, in the wild mountain thyme.
All around the blooming heather.
Will you go?
And I will build my love a tower, at the foot of yonder mountain.
And visit by the hour, from a lonely wooden tower.
Will you go, lassie go?
And we'll all go to-gether, in the wild mountain thyme.
All around the blooming heather.
Come on.
And I will build my love a tower, at the foot of yonder mountain.
And visit by the hour, from a lonely wooden tower.
Will you go, lassie go?
And we'll all go to-gether, in the wild mountain thyme.
All around the blooming heather.
Will you go,
Lassie go; will you go?

6...BEIN' GREEN... by Van Morrison
------------------................
(Original Key: [E])
[D] [D] [Em7] [A7] [A]
It's not [D]easy bein' green,[C#m7]
Having to spend each day the [D]colour of the leaves.[B7]
When it could be nicer bein' [Em7]red, or yellow, or gold,
[A7] Or something much more colour-[D]ful like that.[Em7] [A7]
[A] It's not [D]easy bein' green,[C#m7]
It seems you blend in with [D]so many other ordinary [B7]things.
[Em7] And people tend to pass you by 'cos you're not [A7]standing out,
Like sparkles on the water, or stars in the [D]sky.[D7]
But green is the [Gmaj7]colour of spring,
And green can be [D]cool and friendly like.[D7]
And green can be [B7]big like an ocean,[E7]
Or important like a mountain,[Em] or tall like a [A7]tree[N.C.].
[A] When green is [D]all there is to be,[C#m7]
It could make you [D]wonder why,[B7] but why wonder, why wonder?
I am [Em7]green and it'll do fine,[A7] and it's what [D]I want to be.[D] [Em7] [A7]

I am [Em7]green and it'll do [A7]fine[N.C.], it'll do fine, and it's...
I don't wanna be blue, I just wanna be what I wanna be.

7...AUTUMN SONG... by Van Morrison
------------------................
[Amaj7] [Bm7]
[Amaj7] Leaves of [Bm7]brown, they fall [F#7]to the ground,
[F7] And it's here, over [G7]there;[Ab7] leaves a-[Amaj7]bound.
[Amaj7] Shut the door, [Bm7]dim the lights,[F#7] and relax.
What is [F7]more; your de-[G7]sire,[Ab7] or the [Amaj7]facts?
[D] Pitter patter, the rain falling down,
Little glamour, sun coming round.
Take a walk when Autumn comes to [Amaj7]town.
[Amaj7] [Bm7]
[Amaj7] Little stroll [Bm7]past the house,[F#7] on the hill.
Some more [F7]coal on the [G7]fire,[Ab7] will do [Amaj7]well.
[Amaj7] And in a week or [Bm7]two, it'll be [F#7]Halloween.
Set the [F7]page and the [G7]stage,[Ab7] for the [Amaj7]scene.
[D] Little game the children will play,
And as we watch them, while time away.
Look at me and take my breath a-[Amaj7]way, yeah.
[Amaj7] [Bm7]
[C] You'll be [F]smiling, [C]eyes be-[F]guiling,
[C] And the [F]song on the [Dm7]breeze will call my [G7]name out,
And your...[Amaj7]dream.
[Amaj7] Chestnuts [Bm7]roasting, out-[F#7]side,
[F7] As you walk, with your love,[G7] [Ab7] by your [Amaj7]side.
[Amaj7] The old accordion [Bm7]man plays,[F#7] mellow and bright.
[F7] And you go home,[G7] in the [Ab7]crispness, of the [Amaj7]night.
[D] Little later, friends will be along,
And if you feel like joining the throng,
Just might feel like singing Autumn [Amaj7]Song.
[Amaj7] [Bm7]
[Amaj7] [Bm7] [F#7] [F7] [G7] [Ab7] [Amaj7] [D]
[Amaj7] [Bm7]
[C] You'll be [F]smiling, [C]eyes be-[F]guiling,
[C] And the [F]song on the [Dm7]breeze will call my [G7]name out,
And your...[Amaj7]dream.
[Amaj7] Chestnuts [Bm7]roasting, out-[F#7]side,
[F7] As you walk, with your love,[G7] [Ab7] by your [Amaj7]side.
[Amaj7] The old accordion [Bm7]man plays,[F#7] mellow and bright.
[F7] And you go home,[G7] in the [Ab7]crispness, of the [Amaj7]night.
[D] Little later, friends will be along,
And if you feel like joining the throng,
Just might feel like singing Autumn [Amaj7]Song.
