Band On The Run
(McCartney)
Intro:
Stuck inside these four walls,
Sent inside forever,
Never seeing no one
Nice again
Like you Mama you Mama you.
If I ever get out of here,
Thought of giving it all away
To a registered charity.
All I need is a pint a day
If I ever get out of here.
If I ever get out of here.
Well, the rain exploded with a mighty crash
As we fell into the sun,
And the first one said to the second one there
I hope you're having fun.
Band on the run, band on the run.
And the jailer man and sailor Sam
Were searching every one
aj7
For the band on the run, band on the run
band on the run, band on the run
Well, the undertaker drew a heavy sigh
Seeing no one else had come,
And a bell was ringing in the village square
For the rabbits on the run.
Band on the run, band on the run.
And the jailer man and sailor Sam
Were searching every one
aj7
For the band on the run, band on the run
Solo: Fmaj7 | C | Fmaj7
aj7
For the band on the run, band on the run
band on the run, band on the run
Well, the night was falling as the desert world
Began to settle down.
In the town they're searching for us every where
But we never will be found.
Band on the run, band on the run.
Fmaj7 Riff C
And the county judge, who held a grudge
Will search for ever more
aj7
For the band on the run, band on the run
band on the run, band on the run

Jet
Intro x3 __________
Jet! I can almost remember their funny faces
That time you told me that
You were going to be marrying soon.
And Jet, I thought the only
Lonely place was on the moon.
Jet! Jet!
Jet! Was your father as bold as a sergeant major?
How come he told you that
You were hardly old enough yet?
And Jet, I thought the major
Was a lady suffragette.
Jet! Jet!
Ah, matter, want Jet to always love me?
Ah, matter, want Jet to always love me?
Ah, matter, much later. Oh Jet
Solo:
Jet, I thought the major
Was a lady suffragette.
Jet!Jet!
Ah, matter, want Jet to always love me?
Ah, matter, want Jet to always love me?
Ah, matter, much later.
Jet! with the wind in your hair of a thousand laces.
Climb on the back and we'll
Go for a ride in the sky.
Jet, I thought the major
Was a lady suffragette.
Jet!Jet!
Yeah
Jet, I thought the major
Was a lady suffragette.
Jet!

Late at night when the wind is still
I'll come flying through your door,
And you'll know what love is for.
l'm a bluebird, I'm a bluebird
l'm a bluebird, l'm a bluebird
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
l'm a bluebird, I'm a bluebird
l'm a bluebird,
Touch your lips with a magic kiss
And you'll be a bluebird too,
And you'll know what love can do.
l'm a bluebird, I'm a bluebird
l'm a bluebird, l'm a bluebird
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
l'm a bluebird, I'm a bluebird
l'm a bluebird
Bluebird
Ah Ha,
Bluebird
Ah Ha,
Bluebird.
Fly away through the midnight air
As we head across the sea,
And at last we will be free.
l'm a bluebird, I'm a bluebird
l'm a bluebird, l'm a bluebird
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You're a bluebird, You're a bluebird
You're a bluebird
Yeah, yeah ,yeah.

Ah Ha,

All alone on a desert island
We're living in the trees,
And we're flying in the breeze.
l'm a bluebird, I'm a bluebird
l'm a bluebird, l'm a bluebird
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
l'm a bluebird, I'm a bluebird

Down in the jungle living in a tent
You don't use money you don't pay rent
You don't even know the time
But you don't mind
Ho hey ho
Ho hey ho
Ho hey ho
Ho hey ho
When your light is on the blink
You never think of worrying
What's the use of worrying
When your bus has left the stop
You'd better drop your hurrying
What's the use of hurrying
Leave me alone, Mrs Vanderbilt
I've got plenty of time on my own
What's the use of worrying
What's the use of hurrying
What's the use of anything
Ho hey ho
Ho hey ho
Ho hey ho
Ho hey ho
When your pile is on the wane
You don't complain of robbery
Run away don't bother me
What's the use of worrying
What's the use of anything
Leave me alone, Mrs Washington
I've got plenty of time on my own
What's the use of worrying
What's the use of hurrying (no use)
What's the use of anything
Ho hey ho

You gave me something
I understand
You gave me loving in the palm of my hand
I can't tell you how I feel
My heart is like a wheel
Let me roll it
Let me roll it to you
Let me roll it
Let me roll it to you
I want to tell you
And now's the time
I want to tell you that you're going to be mine
I can't tell you how I feel
My heart is like a wheel
Let me roll it

And that's where life began for you and me

Strip off your plastic macs.

Don't complain, it rains for you.

Don't complain it rains for you and me.

You want to give your love away, And end up giving nothing
I'm not surprised, that your black eyes, are gazing.
You say that love is everything, And what we need the most of
I wish you knew, that's just how true, my love was.

A grand old painter died last night
His paintings on the wall
Before he went, he bade us well
And said goodnight to us all
Drink to me, drink to my health
You know I can't drink anymore
Drink to me, drink to my health
You know I can't drink anymore
Three o'clock in the morning
I'm getting ready for bed
It came without a warning
But I'll be waiting for you, baby
I'll be waiting for you there
So drink to me, drink to my health

Oh no one ever left alive in nineteen hundred and eighty five will ever do
She may be right, she may be fine
She may get love but she won't get mine cos I got you
Oh I, Oh I
Well I just can't get enough of that sweet stuff
My little lady gets behind
Oh my mama said the time would come when I would find myself in love with you
I didn't think, I never dreamed
That I would be around to see it all come true
Woh I, Oh I
Well I just can't get enough of that sweet stuff my little lady gets behind

Helen Wheels
(McCartney)
Said farewell to my last hotel
It was never much kind of abode
Glasgow town never brought me down
When I was heading out on the road
Carlisle City never looked so pretty
And the Kendal freeway's fast
Slow down driver, want to stay alive
I want to make this journey last
Helen - hell on wheels
Ain't nobody else gonna know the way she feels
Helen - hell on wheels
And they never gonna take her away
M6 south down to Liverpool
Where they play the West Coast sound
Sailor Sam, he came from Birmingham
But he never will be found
Doing fine when a London sign
Greets me like a long lost friend
Mister Motor won't you check her out
She's got to take me back again
Helen - hell on wheels
Ain't nobody else gonna know the way she feels
Helen - hell on wheels
And they never gonna take her away
Got no time for a rum and lime
I wanna get my right foot down
Shake some dust off of this old bus
I gotta get her out of town
Spend the day upon the motorway
Where the carburettors blast
Slow down driver, I wanna stay alive
I want to make this journey last
Helen - hell on wheels
Ain't nobody else gonna know the way she feels
Helen - hell on wheels
And they never gonna take her away

Country Dreamer
(McCartney)
I'd like to walk in a field with you,
take my hat and my boots off too.
I'd like to lie in a field with you.
Would you like to do it too, May?
Would you like to do it too?
I like to stand in the stream with you,
roll my trousers up and not feel blue.
I'd like to wash in a stream with you.
Would you like to do it too?
You and I, country dreamer,
when there's nothing else to do;
Me oh my, country dreamer,
make a country dream come true.
I'd like to climb up a hill with you,
stand on top and admire the view.
I'd like to roll down a hill with you.
Would you like to do it too, May?
Would you like to do it too?
You and I, country dreamer,
when there's nothing else to do;
Me oh my, country dreamer,
make a country dream come true.
I'd like to climb up a hill with you,
take my hat and my boots off too.
I'd like to lie in a field with you.
Would you like to do it too, May?
Would you like to do it too, May?
Would you like to do it too?
