I asked your mother for you
She told me that you was too young
I wish to the Lord I'd never seen your face
or heard your lying tongue
Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, Goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
Sometimes I live in the country
Sometimes I live in the town
Sometimes I have a great notion
to jump into the river and drown
Stop ramblin', stop your gamblin'
stop stayin' out late at night
Go home to your wife and your family
sit down by the fireside bright
I love Irene God knows I do
love her till the sea run dry
And if Irene turns her back on me
I'm gonna take morphine and die

If you want me to stay,
Gm7 C9 (or C7)
I'll be around today,
Fmaj7 E7
to be available for you to see.
But I am about to go,
And then you'll know,
For me to stay here I got to be me.
You'll never be in doubt,
That's what it's all about,
You can't take me for granted and smile.
Count the days I'm gone
Forget reachin' me by phone
Because I promise I'll be gone for a while.
And when you see me again,
I hope that you have been,
The kind of person....that you really are now.
Got to get in straight,
How could I ever be late,
When you're my woman taking up my time.
Whoa, oh how could I ever allow,
I guess I wonder how,
I could get out a pocket for fun. HOW HOW!!
When you know that you're never number two,
Number one's gonna be number one,
ohh oww oohh
I'll be good,
I wish I could
I get this message over to you now.
ahhh, yeah, message, mmmm
When you see me again,
I hope that you have been,
The kind of person you really are now.
I'll be so good, oh

A scrub is a guy that thinks he's fly

And is also known as a buster
Always talkin' about what he wants
And just sits on his broke ass
So no, I don't want your number (no)
I don't want to give you mine and (no)
I don't want to meet you nowhere (no)
I don't want none of your time and (no)
Chorus:
I don't want no scrub
A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me
Hangin' out the passenger side
Of his best friend's ride
Tryin' to holla at me
I don't want no scrub
A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me
Hangin' out the passenger side
Of his best friend's ride
Tryin' to holler at me
Verse 2:
There's a scrub checkin' me
But his game is kinda weak
And I know that he cannot approach me
Cuz I'm lookin' like class and he's lookin' like trash
Can't get wit' a dead-beat ass
[Chorus]

Nice version from Clockwork Orange Soundtrack, which I think it was written for? By Erika Eigen
Neat to do an intro as a whole verse a step down
Nice intro (similar to last line of verse, see here for nice timing):
G F# F E7 / A7 D7 G / D7 (5th fret)
Or do the first verse a step down, and then rise up for the verse:
F D7 / G7 C7 F /
G C G
I wanna marry a lighthouse keeper, and keep him company
G A7 D7
I wanna marry a lighthouse keeper, and live by the side of the sea
G G7
I'll polish his lamps by the light of day
C Cm
So ships at night can find their way
G [bass roll] E7 A7 D7 G
I wanna marry a lighthouse keeper, won't that be okay?
Bridge (and see alternate at end):
C Cm G [G7]
We'll take walks along the moonlit bay, maybe find treasure too
C Cm A7 D7
I'd love living in a lighthouse, how bout you?
[Titty over a verse]
G C G
I dream of living in a lighthouse baby, every single day
G A7 D7
I dream of living in a lighthouse, the white one by the bay
G G7
So if you want to make my dreams come true
C Cm
You'll be a lighthouse keeper too
G E7 A7 D7 G
We could live in a lighthouse, the white one by the bay
E7 A7 D7 G
Hey hey! Won't that be okay?
E7 A7 D7 G
Yat dat ba ba ba!
Alternate bridge:
C [Cm] G [G7]
Well have parties on a coral reef and clam bakes on the shore
C [Cm] A7 D7
Well invite the neighbors in, seagulls by the score.

Though this feeling I can't change.
But please don't take it so badly,
'Cause Lord knows I'm to blame.
But if I stayed here with you, girl,
Things just couldn't be the same.
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now,
F C D
And this bird you'll never change, oh, oh, oh, oh.
And this bird you cannot change.
And this bird you cannot change.
Lord knows, I can't change.

D G D G
Early in the morning, risin' to the street
Light me up that cigarette and I strap shoes on my feet
Got to find a reason, a reason things went wrong
Got to find a reason why my money's all gone
I got a dalmation, and I can still get high
I can play the guitar like a mother fucking riot
[high voice]
Well, life is (too short), so love the one you got
'Cause you might get runover or you might get shot
Never start no static I just get it off my chest
Never had to battle with no bulletproof vest
Take a small example, take a tip from me
Take all of your money, give it all to charity
Love is what I got
It's within my reach
And the Sublime style's still straight from Long Beach
It all comes back to you, you'll finally get what you deserve
Try and test that you're bound to get served
Love's what I got
Don't start a riot
You'll feel it when the dance gets hot
Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that
Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that
Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that
Lovin', is what I got
(That's) why I don't cry when my dog runs away
I don't get angry at the bills I have to pay
I don't get angry when my Mom smokes pot
Hits the bottle and goes right to the rock
Fuckin' and fightin', it's all the same
Livin' with Louie dog's the only way to stay sane
Let the lovin', let the lovin' come back to me
Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that
Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that
Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that
Lovin', is what I got, I got I got I got
Album key is E. Do is also good if warmed up.

Nice version (in C). Nice vocals here (in F). Keywords: jazz
Nat did it in Db, but thats kind of low for me. D works better? Also really nice in F.

Joni key is C# on Blue and live in C (ish, since her Apalacian dulcimer isnt tuned to A440). This is a kind of loose arrangement I made, using Blackbird style chording to get a bit of that Joni dulcimer sound.
G* = x 10 0 10 x
G* D/F# (x900 10 x)
Just before our love got lost you said
Em7 (x7008x)
"I am as constant as the northern star"
Am (X3005X) G (X2003X)
And I said, "Constantly in the darkness
Am7 [Em7] D/F#
[Where's that at?] If you want me I'll be in the bar"
G D/F#
On the back of a cartoon coaster
Em7
In the blue TV screen light
Am G
I drew a map of Canada
G D/F# Em7
Oh Ca - na - da
Am7 D/F#
With your face sketched on it twice
Chorus:
C (x3005x) Bm (x2003x)
Oh, youre in my blood like holy wine
Am7 G
You taste so bitter and so sweet
G D/F# Em7
Oh I could drink a case of you and
Am7 [G] D/F#
Still I'd be on my feet
G
I'd still be on my feet
G D/F#
Oh I am a lonely painter
Em7
I live in a box of paints
Am G
I'm frightened by the devil
Am7 [Em7] D/F#
And I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid
G D/F#
I remember that time that you told me, you said
Em7
"Love is touching souls" [Surely you touched mine]
Am G
Cause part of you pours out of me
Am7 [Em7] D/F#
In these lines from time to time
Chorus:
C (x3005x) Bm (x2003x)
Oh, youre in my blood like holy wine
Am7 G
You taste so bitter and so sweet
G D/F# Em7
Oh I could drink a case of you and
Am7 [G] D/F#
Still I'd be on my feet
G
I'd still be on my feet
G D/F#
I met a woman, she had a mouth like yours
Em7
She knew your life, she knew your devils and your deeds, and she said
Am G
"Go to him, stay with him if you can
Am7 D/F#
But be prepared to bleed"
Really high, but beltable I think. Probably great practice for singing high and belting.

I'm so tired, of playing, playing with this bow and arrow,
Gonna give my heart away, leave it to the other girls to play,
For I've been a temptress too long,
[Chorus]
Give me a reason to love you,
Give me a reason to be,
a woman
I just wanna be a woman!

From this time, unchained, we're all looking at a different picture,
Through this new frame of mind, a thousand flowers could bloom,
Move over, and give us some room, yeah!
[Chorus]
[Solo over 2 bars]

So don't you stop being a man,
Just take a little look, from outside, when you can,
Sow a little tenderness,
It don't matter if you cry

The Tennessee Stud was long and lean
The color of the sun and his eyes were green
He had the nerve and he had the blood
There never was a horse like Tennessee Stud
Drifted on down into no man's land
Across the river called the Rio Grande
Raced my horse with the Spaniard's foe
Til I got me a skin full of silver and gold
Me and the gambler, we couldn't agree
We got in a fight over Tennessee
Pulled our guns and he fell with a thud

Just lyrics:
Sometimes I wonder why I spend
The lonely nights dreaming of a song
The melody haunts my reverie
And I am once again with you
When our love was new
And each kiss an inspiration
Ah but that was long ago
Now my consolation is in the stardust of a song
Beside the garden wall
When stars are bright, you are in my arms
The nightingale tells his fairy tale
Of paradise where roses grew
Though I dream in vain
In my heart it will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain

Just lyrics:
Shut up and go to bed
Put the pillow under your head
I'm sick and tired of all your worries
Shut up and say goodnight
Say your prayers and turn off the light
I'm sick and tired of all your sob-stories
Shut up and shut your eyes
No more histrionics, no more college tries
Stop pushing, stop shoving, stop straining
Shut your mouth and button your lip
You're a late night faucet that's gotta drip
All you're doing is merely complaining
The excuse that you're crazy is useless
You're not biting you're barking you're toothless
But you're ruthless (you're Rufus)
Shut up and count some sheep
And do me a favor, don't bitch in your sleep
No more agony, please no more sorrow
Shut up and catch some Zs
Ice cream with a cherry plus a big pretty please
I promise we'll resume tomorrow...Goodnight.
