[!] Capo on 1st fret [!]
[Intro]
E
[Verse 1]
Well, I knew what I wanted to do in life
When I was old enough to use me a skinning knife
I left my home in Saskatchewan
E
Northwest Territory, here I come
B7
Daddy said, "Son, you better understand
It's a mighty rough life when you're a trapper man"
[Verse 2]
Well, he offered me a job in Ontario
Where the chinchilla mate and the silver fox grow
But a farm ain't the place my daddy had said
It just ain't right when you catch 'em in bed
B7
Get my furs from the water and the land
With the help of the Lord, I'll be a trapper man
F
[Verse 3]
After 13 years, I can tell you this
If you wanna be a trapper and you get that itch
Remember it's cold in the long, long night
I lost two good fingers and my feet ain't right
There's a real good price for a first-class pelt
But you gotta be careful not to trap yourself
F#
[Verse 4]
Now, when I die, don't you bury me
Just nail my hide to a big oak tree
Let the wind and the sun just tan it brown
When the good Lord's ready, he can take it down
If you see anybody in Saskatchewan
Just tell 'em that the trapper man wrote this song
[Outro]
Yeah, the trapper man wrote this song
Ah, the trapper man wrote this song

[Intro]
A E7 A E7
[Verse 1]
Forgive me for writing this letter
I just had to drop you a line
To tell you just how much I miss you
I'm almost out of my mind
[Verse 2]
I promised that I'd never write you
I thought I'd forget you in time
Instead of forgetting about you
I'm almost out of my mind
[Chorus]
D A
Almost out of my mind
With memories that you left behind
Instead of forgetting about you
I'm almost out of my mind
[Interlude]
A E7 A A7
[Chorus]
D A
Almost out of my mind
With memories that you left behind
Instead of forgetting about you
I'm almost out of my mind

[Intro]
G D A7 D
[Verse]
What happened to the sweet words we used to say?
We've changed them for new ones that get colder each day
What happened to the vows we promised to keep?
We've stopped dreaming together, we've let love go to sleep
[Chorus]
We've let love go to sleep, we put out the fire
We let something take over the flame of desire
What became of the old thrill when our lips used to meet?
We've stopped dreaming together, we've let love go to sleep
[Interlude]
G D A7 D
[Chorus]
We've let love go to sleep, we put out the fire
We let something take over the flame of desire
What became of the old thrill when our lips used to meet?
We've stopped dreaming together, we've let love go to sleep

[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
Going back to Sugarland, U.S.A.
Been so lonesome ever since I went away
And this time, I'm going back to stay
With my sugar in Sugarland, U.S.A.
[Verse 2]
So mister driver, keep the big wheels on the road
I can see Sugarland down the road
And my sugar, waiting patiently
Right there in Sugarland, U.S.A.
[Bridge]
Where sugar is sweeter
And the loving nights are longer
E7
Sweet love never dies
It just gets sweeter and stronger
[Verse 3]
Back home in Sugarland, U.S.A.
Where the living is so easy every day
You can bet this time I'm gonna stay
With my sugar in Sugarland, U.S.A.
With my sugar in Sugarland, U.S.A.
With my sugar in Sugarland, U.S.A.
With my sugar in Sugarland, U.S.A.

I realize you love him more than me
And to make you happy, I must set you free

I know you need me and you know that I'll be there

You won't be his first love or his last

Up the river is Lucy, happy as could be
F C G7 C
Built a little log cabin for my Lucy and me
Then came a big riverboat up the river one day
Big riverboat gambler stole my Lucy away
[Chorus]
Big riverboat gambler, you're gonna curse the day
That paddlewheel went around and around, carried my Lucy away

Lucy got a broken heart down in New Orleans
I know this river's deep and this river's wide
This river ain't big enough for that gambler to hide

Big riverboat gambler, you better hear me through
With every turn of this paddlewheel, I'm a little closer to you
Big riverboat gambler, you better hear what I say
This .45 I'm wearing, gonna claim you someday
This .45 I'm wearing, gonna claim you someday
This .45 I'm wearing, gonna claim you someday

[!] Link to song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tq7ixK1dzOg [!]
[Intro]
E B7 E B7
[Verse 1]
For the love of Mike, look what she did to me
Overnight, I've become a used-to-be
She was happy, said she loved me yesterday
For the love of Mike, she threw it all away
[Chorus]
For the love of Mike, she wanted to be free
I was in the way, so she walked over me
I was foolish to think she would never change
For the love of Mike, she'd do most anything
[Interlude]
E B7 E B7
[Verse 2]
For the love of Mike, she gave me up for good
That's why Mike kept hanging 'round, he knew she would
To be loved so much, I wonder how it feels
For the love of Mike, she'd lie, she'd beg, she'd steal
[Chorus]
For the love of Mike, she wanted to be free
I was in the way, so she walked over me
I was foolish to think she would never change
For the love of Mike, she'd do most anything

8.) "Little Black Bug" (1966)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[!] Link to song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKLkn6q41vk [!]
[Intro]
E B7 E
[Verse 1]
I've got a room on the fourth floor of a house on Cattle Street
It's lonesome, but I've got a friend that's living there with me
E E7 A
He walks on the ceiling and I walk on the rug
It sounds crazy, but my friend is just a bug
[Chorus]
Hello up there, little black bug, ain't you got a family?
You must be crazy, you're taking chances moving in with a guy like me
They say women sometimes do that if a love can make them fall
But there ain't no woman crazy as the black bug on the wall
[Verse 2]
I came home high just last Friday, tried to kill you with a swat
Now, that's just like me when I'm drinking, kill the only friend I got
But I think you understand me and that's more than I deserve
Little black bug, you've sure got a lotta nerve
[Verse 3]
E B7
Sometimes, I just lie here and I smoke a cigarette
Blow some smoke up on the ceiling, you sure get a charge from that
If I only knew your birthday, we'd just have a little spree
Little black bug, you could have a drink with me
[Chorus]
Hello up there, little black bug, ain't you got a family?
You must be crazy, you're taking chances moving in with a guy like me
They say women sometimes do that if a love can make them fall
But there ain't no woman crazy as the black bug on the wall

9.) "Flop Top Beer" (1967)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[!] Link to song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cDFcBXYpB0 [!]
[Intro]
A
[Verse 1]
They got a little thing they call a flop top can
And that's the kind of science I can understand
'cause when you want a frosty, you just rip it right off
There's no time wasted, no time lost
E D
Tell that pretty waitress, come a-running over here
And bring me another... flop top beer
[Chorus]
It's nice... on ice
E A
Flop... top beer (*hic* beer)
[Verse 2]
I guess this thing has got about a hundred different names
I don't care what they call it 'cause to me, it's all the same
I like the way it sounds when you rip it right back
You know a-hunting for a key could give a guy a heart attack
So when you have a party, you let out a little cheer
For that wonderful... flop top beer
[Chorus]
It's nice... on ice
E A
Flop... top beer (*hic* beer)
[Verse 3]
I was doing about a hundred down the interstate pike
In my rear-view mirror, saw a little red light
It was a-winking and a-blinking like a red light can
And I could tell mighty well that it had to be the man
He jerked me from the car and he said, "Looky here!
A six-pack of... flop top beer"
[Chorus]
It's nice... on ice
E A
Flop... top beer (*hic* beer)
[Verse 4]
The man told the judge I was a "Signal 9"
And they said, "We gotta hold you 'til we figure up your fine"
I pleaded halitosis when they smelled it on my breath
The judge looked down at me and said, "You take a little rest"
They led me to my cell and they thought I didn't hear
Them dividing up my... flop top beer
[Chorus]
Flopped up... too much
E A
Flop... top beer
It's nice... on ice
E A
Flop... top beer (*hic* beer)

10.) "Country Wedding Bells" (1968)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[!] Link to song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTIjPXDuR7I [!]
[Intro]
D E7 A
Ooh, country wedding bells
[Verse 1]
Beyond the noisy city, in the quiet countryside
There's a chapel filled with people, at the altar stands a bride
In the still of Sunday morning, breaking the magic spell
In the distance, I hear country wedding bells
[Chorus]
Country boy, all alone, in the city
I've stayed away too long, I'm losing her today
As the bells ring out the gladness, my country castle fell
To the singing, ringing country wedding bells
[Interlude]
D E7 A
[Verse 2]
I forgot and still she waited and our love hung by a thread
While the painted tainted flowers of the sidewalk turned my head
She'll shed a tear of gladness as old friends wish her well
I'll cry a country tear for country wedding bells
[Chorus]
Country boy, all alone, in the city
I've stayed away too long, I'm losing her today
As the bells ring out the gladness, my country castle fell
To the singing, ringing country wedding bells
To the singing, ringing country wedding bells

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[!] Link to song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqYeqHX7QYM [!]
[!] Capo on 1st fret [!]
[Intro]
E7 A
[Chorus]
I pledge allegiance to the blues each night at midnight
And to these united heartaches that they call
One woman, so indifferent that she gave me
The liberty I didn't want at all
[Verse 1]
A E7
We the people, faced with heartache
Have the right to vote on how we live
And so I pledge allegiance to the blues, now
And sacrifice the love I had to give
[Interlude]
E7 A
[Verse 2]
A E7
Never have so many known so little
About the way the blues can crush a man
I shall not return and find a new love
I'll just fade away and try to understand
[Chorus]
I pledge allegiance to the blues each night at midnight
And to these united heartaches that they call
One woman, so indifferent that she gave me
The liberty I didn't want at all

[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
I'm coming back in style, you wait and see
From now on, you'll be seeing lots of me
I let my heart go hungry for a while
But look out, love, I'm coming back in style
[Chorus]
I've got some loving I've saved up from being all alone
I've got a pocketful of nickels for the telephone
It's true, you made me feel like last year's model for a while
But look out, love, I'm coming back in style
[Guitar Solo]
D A7
D A7 D
[Verse 2]
I'm coming back in style, I know it's true
It took a while, but I got over you
Stand back and watch me roll 'em in the aisle
And look out, love, I'm coming back in style
[Chorus]
I've got some loving I've saved up from being all alone
I've got a pocketful of nickels for the telephone
It's true, you made me feel like last year's model for a while
But look out, love, I'm coming back in style
Look out, love, I'm coming back in style

[Intro]
D7 C G
[Verse 1]
I hear them play my records on the radio
They write my name up in lights
My picture in the paper smiling back at me
But I'm lonely in person tonight
I'm lonely in person tonight
[Verse 2]
G C
Town after town, people come out to see
The man who sings the songs of love and light
I laugh and sing and they think I could never be
This lonely in person tonight
I'm lonely in person tonight
[Chorus]
The jukebox changes colors as the guitar starts to ring
D7 C G
Happy people laugh and dance to the songs I sing
But wax and needles cannot make a wrong love turn out right
And I'm lonely in person tonight
I'm lonely in person tonight
[Interlude]
D7 C G
[Chorus]
The jukebox changes colors as the guitar starts to ring
D7 C G

[Intro]
A E7
A E7
[Verse 1]
A new girl moved to town today, I wonder just how she'll be
I hope she's not like the others, they never even look at me
Oh, I hope she's nice and pretty and doesn't love a boy somewhere
For I'm the only guy in the city who doesn't have a girl who cares
D C#m
I pity me if she's not free
Oh, devil in me, don't let this be
Oh, I hope all the guys around haven't seen the new girl in town
[Interlude]
A E7
A E7
[Verse 2]
The time is drawing nearer and I'm gonna have to speak
For here she comes down the sidewalk and my knees are getting weak
Oh, fear made a leap right out of my heart when the new girl smiled at me
A D E7
I said, "Hello," and shook her hand and she wouldn't let go of me
Oh, now I'll never walk alone, now that I have someone my own
I'll close the book on yesterday and write one to say
Tomorrow, I'll be found with the new girl in town
