-----------------------------------------................
 Doo  doo doo doo doo, doo, doo doo doo doo.
 Doo doo doo doo doo, doo, doo doo doo doo.
 Jackie Wilson  said; it was Reet  Petite,
 Kinda love  you got, knock me off  of my feet.
 Let it all  hang out, let it all hang out.
 And you know,  I am so  wired up;
 Don't need no coffee in  my cup.
 Let it all  hang out, oh, let it all hang out. Watch this...
 Ding a ling a ling, ding  a ling a ling, ling  ling,
 Ding a ling a ling, ding  a ling a ling, ling  ling. Doo do...doo do da.
 I'm in Heaven, I'm  in Heaven.
 I'm in Heaven,  when you smile,  when you smile.
 And when you walk,  a-cross  the road,
 You make  my heart go; boom-boom-boom.
 Let it all  hang out, baby, let it all hang out.
 And ev'ry time,  you look  that way,
 Honey chile, you make  my day.
 Let it all  hang out, like the man said; let it all hang out.
 Ding a ling a ling, ding  a ling a ling, ling  ling,
 Ding a ling a ling, ding  a ling a ling, ling  ling. Doo do...doo do da.
 I'm in Heaven, I'm  in Heaven.
 I'm in Heaven,  when you smile,
 When you smile, when you smile, when you smile.
 Doo  doo doo doo doo, doo, doo doo doo doo.
 Doo doo doo doo doo, doo, doo doo doo doo.

 2...GYPSY... by Van Morrison
------------................
 (Original Key: )
 You can make  out pretty  good,
 When you're on  your own.
 And you know  just where  you are,
 When you wanna roam.
 Got the moon  a-bove  your head,
 And the road  beneath your feet.
 Pull in-to  a wooded  glen,
 Make your own  re-treat.
 La da di di, di di di, la da di di, di di di,
 La da di di, di di di, daa...
 La da di di, di di di, la da di di, di di di,
 La da di di, di di di, daa...
 Gypsy!
 Laying under-neath  the stars,
 Can be so  much fun.
 E-specially when  you're feeling  good,
 When you're with the one  you love.
 Sway to sounds  of two  guitars,
 Around the campfire bright.
 Then mellow  out,  like violins,
 In the morning light.
 La da di di, di di di, la da di di, di di di,
 La da di di, di di di, daa...
 La da di di, di di di, la da di di, di di di,
 La da di di, di di di, daa...
 Gypsy!
 No matter where  you wander,
 And no matter where  you roam.
 Any place  you hang  your hat,
 You know that  that is home.  Check it out first.
 Sway to sounds  of two  guitars,
 Around the campfire bright.
 Then mellow  out,  like violins,
 In the morning light.
 La da di di, di di di, la da di di, di di di,
 La da di di, di di di, daa...
 La da di di, di di di, la da di di, di di di,
 La da di di, di di di, daa...
 Gypsy!
 La da di di, di di di, la da di di, di di di,
 La da di di, di di di, daa...
 La da di di, di di di, la da di di, di di di,
 La da di di, di di di, daa...
 Gypsy!

 3...I WILL BE THERE... by Van Morrison
----------------------................
  Whenever  the sunshine comes through,
 Whenever my thoughts turn to you,
 Whatever you want  me to do;  I will  be there.
 Whether I crawl up-hill,
 Try to not be through the mill,
 Just as long as I  fit the bill;  I will  be there.
 If it's on a lazy after-noon,  in the summertime,
 And you're drinking cham-pagne  and wine;
 Anytime, I don't mind.
  Even  if I've got the blues,
 And after I pay all my dues,
 You decide to go  for a cruise;  I will  be there.
 If it's on a lazy after-noon,  in the summertime,
 And you're drinking cham-pagne  and wine;
 Anytime, I don't mind.
  Even  if I've got the blues,
 And after I pay all my dues,
 You decide to go  for a cruise;
 Going  to grab my... razor  and my suitcase,
 And my toothbrush, and my overcoat and my underwear...
 I will be...  there.

 4...LISTEN TO THE LION... by Van Morrison
-------------------------................
 (Original Key: )
 And all my love, come down,
 All my love,  come tumblin' down.
 All my love, come tumblin' down.
 All my love,  come tumblin' down.
 Oh, listen, listen, to  the lion,
 Oh, listen listen,  listen, listen,
 To the lion... in-side  of me, oh, oh, oh.
 And I  shall search my soul,
 I shall search  my very soul.
 And I  shall search my soul,
 I shall search  my very soul.
 For the lion, for  the lion,
 For the lion, for  the lion,
 In-side  of me, oh, oh, yeah.
 And all  my tears have flown,
 All my tears,  like water flown.
 And my  tears, like water flown,
 All my tears,  like water flown.
 For the lion, for  the lion,
 For the lion, for  the lion,
 In-side  of me.
 (with Scatting)
 Listen to the lion,  listen to the lion.
 Listen to the lion,  listen to the lion.
 Listen to the lion,  listen to the lion.
 Listen to the lion,  listen to the lion.
 Listen to the lion,  listen to the lion.
 Listen to the lion,  listen to the lion.

 5...ST. DOMINIC'S PREVIEW... by Van Morrison
----------------------------................
 (Original Key: )
 Chamois cleaning  all the windows,
 Singing songs  about Edith Piaf's soul.
 And I hear blue  strains of "No Re-gredior",
 Across the street  from Ca-thedral  Notre Dame.
 Meanwhile back  in San Fran-cisco,
 We're trying hard  to make  the whole thing blend.
 As we sit  upon this jagged storey  block with you, my friend.
 And it's a long  way to Buffalo,
 It's a long  way to Belfast city too.
 And I'm hoping  the choice won't blow  the hoist,
 'Cos this town;  they bit off more than they can chew.
 As we gaze  out on, as we gaze  out on,
 As we gaze  out on, as we gaze  out on,
 Saint Domi-nic's preview.
 Saint Domi-nic's preview,
 Saint Domi-nic's preview.
 All the orange  boxes are scattered,
 We get to Safeway's  supermarket in the rain.
 And everybody feels  so de-termined,
 Not to feel  anyone else's pain.  You know that...
 No one's making  no com-mitments,
 To any-body  but them-selves.
 Hidin' be-hind  closed doorways,
 Tryin' to get outside, outside of empty shells.
 And for every  cross-cuttin' country corner,
 For every Hank Williams railroad train that cried.
 And all the chains, badges, flags and emblems,
 And every strain on every brain and every eye.
 As we gaze  out on, as we gaze  out on,
 As we gaze  out on, as we gaze  out on,
 Saint Domi-nic's preview.
 Saint Domi-nic's preview,
 Saint Domi-nic's preview.
 And the restaurant  tables are completely covered.
 The record company has paid  out for the wine.
 You got everything in the world  you ever wanted,
 Right about now  your face  should wear a smile.
 That's the way  it all should happen,
 When you're in, when you're in  the state you're in.
 You've got your pen  and notebook ready,
 I think it's about time,  time for us to be-gin.
 And we're over  in a 52nd Street a-partment,
 Socializing with the whino few.
 Just to be hip  and get wet with the jet  set,
 But they're flying too high to see my point of view.
 As we gaze  out on, as we gaze  out on,
 As we gaze  out on, as we gaze  out on,
 Saint Domi-nic's preview.
 Saint Domi-nic's preview,
 Saint Domi-nic's preview.
 Saint Domi-nic's preview,  Saint Domi-nic's preview.
 Saint Domi-nic's preview,  Saint Domi-nic's preview.
 Saint Domi-nic's preview,  Saint Domi-nic's preview.
 Saint Domi-nic's preview,  Saint Domi-nic's preview.
 Saint Domi-nic's preview,  Saint Domi-nic's preview.
 Saint Domi-nic's preview,  Saint Domi-nic's preview.
 Saint Domi-nic's preview,  Saint Domi-nic's preview.
 Saint Domi-nic's preview,  Saint Domi-nic's preview.

 6...REDWOOD TREE... by Van Morrison
-------------------................
 (Original Key: )
 Boy and his dog,
 Went out looking for the rainbow;
 You know what did  they learn,
 Since that very day?
 Walking by the river,
 And running like a blue streak,
 Through the fields  of streams  and meadows,
 Laughing all the way.
 Oh, redwood tree,  please let us under.
 When we were young  we used to go;
 Under the redwood tree.
 And it smells like rain,  maybe even thunder.
 Won't you keep  us from all  harm,
 Wonderful redwood tree?
 And a boy and his father,
 Went out, went out looking for the lost dog.
 You know what,  oh, haven't  they learned,
 Since they did that to-gether?
 They did not bring him back,
 He already had de-parted.
 But look at everything they  have learned,
 Since that, since that very day.
 Oh, redwood tree,  please let us under.
 When we were young  we used to go;
 Under the redwood tree.
 And it smells like rain,  maybe even thunder.
 Won't you keep  us from all  harm,
 Wonderful redwood tree?

 I can hear...  them calling, way  from Oregon.

 Me and my lady, we  go steppin'

 Way out on China Town.
 All to buy some Hong  Kong silver,
 And the wadin'  rushing river.

 Up and down the, up and down the San Francisco Bay.
 I can hear them echoing,

 Up and down the, up and down the San Francisco Bay.
 I can,  see the boats in the harbour,
 (Way across the harbour).
 Lights shining out,  (lights shining out).
 And a cool, cool night,
 And a cool, cool night.
 And a cool, and  a cool,  and a cool and a cool night.
 Across the harbour, I can hear  the fireworks.
 I can hear the people, people shouting out,
 I can hear the people, people shouting out.

 And it's almost Independence day.
 I can see the lights way out in the harbour.
 And the cool,  and the cool, and the cool  night.
 And the cool, and the cool and the cool  night breeze.
 And I feel the cool night breeze,
 And I feel, feel, feel  the cool night breeze.
 And the boats go by.
 And it's almost,
 And it's almost, and it's almost Independence day.
 And it's almost, and it's almost Independence day.
 Way up and down the line,
 Way up and down the line.
 Way up and down the line,
 Way up and down the line.

[D] Chamois [C]cleaning all the [G]windows,
[D] Singing [C]songs about Edith Piaf's [G]soul.
[D] And I hear [C]blue strains of "No Re-[G]gredior",
Across the [D]street from Ca-[C]thedral Notre [G]Dame.

[D] Meanwhile [C]back in San Fran-[G]cisco,
We're trying [D]hard to [C]make the whole thing [G]blend.
[D] As we [C]sit upon this [G]jagged [Am]storey block with you, my [D]friend.

And it's a [C]long way to [G]Buffalo,
It's a [C]long way to Belfast city [G]too.
And I'm [C]hoping the choice won't [G]blow the hoist,
'Cos this [C]town; they bit off more than they can [G]chew.

As we [D]gaze out on, as we [C]gaze out on,
As we [D]gaze out on, as we [C]gaze out on,
[C] Saint [C/B]Domi-[Am]nic's [G]preview.
[C] Saint [C/B]Domi-[Am]nic's [G]preview,
[C] Saint [C/B]Domi-[Am]nic's [G]preview.[Em]

[D] All the [C]orange boxes are [G]scattered,
[D] We get to [C]Safeway's supermarket in the [G]rain.
[D] And everybody [C]feels so de-[G]termined,
[D] Not to [C]feel anyone else's [C]pain. You know that...

[D] No one's [C]making no com-[G]mitments,
[D] To any-[C]body but them-[G]selves.
[D] Hidin' be-[C]hind closed [G]doorways,
[Am] Tryin' to get outside, outside of empty [D]shells.

And for [C]every cross-cuttin' country [G]corner,
[C] For every Hank Williams railroad train that [G]cried.
[C] And all the chains, badges, flags and [G]emblems,
[C] And every strain on every brain and every [G]eye.

As we [D]gaze out on, as we [C]gaze out on,
As we [D]gaze out on, as we [C]gaze out on,
[C] Saint [C/B]Domi-[Am]nic's [G]preview.
[C] Saint [C/B]Domi-[Am]nic's [G]preview,
[C] Saint [C/B]Domi-[Am]nic's [G]preview.[Em]

[D] And the [C]restaurant tables are completely [G]covered.
[D] The record company has [C]paid out for the [G]wine.
[D] You got everything in the [C]world you ever [G]wanted,
Right about [D]now your [C]face should wear a [G]smile.

[D] That's the [C]way it all should [G]happen,
[D] When you're in, when you're [C]in the state you're [G]in.
[D] You've got your [C]pen and notebook [G]ready,
I think it's about [Am]time, time for us to be-[D]gin.

And we're [C]over in a 52nd Street a-[G]partment,
[C] Socializing with the whino [G]few.
Just to be [C]hip and get wet with the [G]jet set,
[C] But they're flying too high to see my point of [G]view.

As we [D]gaze out on, as we [C]gaze out on,
As we [D]gaze out on, as we [C]gaze out on,
[C] Saint [C/B]Domi-[Am]nic's [G]preview.
[C] Saint [C/B]Domi-[Am]nic's [G]preview,
[C] Saint [C/B]Domi-[Am]nic's [G]preview.[Em]

[C] Saint [C/B]Domi-[Am]nic's [G]preview,[C] Saint [C]Do[B]mi-[Am]nic's [G]preview.

[Am]  [Em]  [F]  [Em]  [F]  [G]  [C]

[C] Boy and his [G]dog,[F#]    [F]
Went out looking for the [C]rainbow;
[Am] You know [Em]what [Dm]did they learn,[Em]
[F] Since that very [G]day?

[C] Walking by the [G]river,[F#]    [F]
And running like a blue [C]streak,
[Am] Through the [Em]fields of [Dm]streams and meadows,[Em]
[F] Laughing all the [G]way.

[C] Oh, redwood [G]tree,[F#]    [F] please let us [C]under.
[Am] When we were [Em]young we used to [Dm]go; [Em]     [F]
[G] Under the redwood [C]tree.

[C] And it smells like [G]rain,[F#]    [F] maybe even [C]thunder.
[Am] Won't you [Em]keep us from [Dm]all harm, [Em]     [F]
[G] Wonderful redwood [C]tree?

[C] And a boy and his [G]father,[F#]    [F]
Went out, went out looking for the lost [C]dog.
[Am] You know [Em]what, oh, [Dm]haven't they learned,[Em]
[F] Since they did that to-[G]gether?

[C] They did not bring him [G]back,[F#]    [F]
He already had de-[C]parted.
[Am] But look at [Em]everything [Dm]they have [Em]learned,[F]
Since that, since that very [G]day.

[C] Oh, redwood [G]tree,[F#]    [F] please let us [C]under.
[Am] When we were [Em]young we used to [Dm]go; [Em]     [F]
[G] Under the redwood [C]tree.

[C] And it smells like [G]rain,[F#]    [F] maybe even [C]thunder.
