water johnny flynn and Laura Marling

intro: C G C F
C G Am F
C          G         F
All that I have is a river
    Am                E
The river is always my home
      C         F        Am          F
Lord, take me away for I just cannot stay
        C          G           Am
Or I'll sink in my skin and my bones

    C        G           C         F
The water sustains me without even trying
    C            G            Am
The water can't drown me, I'm done
        F     C
With my dyy...ing

Please help me build a small boat
One that'll ride on the flow
Where the river runs deep, and the larger fish creep
I'm glad of what keeps me afloat

Now deeper the water I sail
And faster the current I'm in
So wide is my river, the horizon a sliver
The artist has run out of paint

Where the blue of the sea meets the sky
And the big yellow sun leads me home
I'm everywhere now, the way is a vow
To the wind of each breath by and by

Travel light

Travel Light w/ Laura Marling

A cover of the song by Jeffrey Lewis and Diane Cluck

Same chords repeated all the way through.

F G C Am

When I was an astronaut I didn't take my boots, 
When I was a coal miner I didn't know the news, 
When I was a record store I didn't have the blues, 
I travel light and that's the life for me. 

He doesn't care where else he goes, 
He's not gonna take any extra clothes 
or extra shoes to hide his feet 
The ground is dirt, the dirt is sweet 

When I go Londontown I'll stand under a rock, 
Until I know all the time it takes to pack a clock, 
Then I'll flip it over, close the key, and swallow the lock. 
I travel light and that's the life for me. 

He doesn't take his spoon or fork, 
He's seen too many eating in New York, 
He'll use his hands to pick and eat, 
The fruit he finds, he'll find it sweet 

When I was a waitress, I gave away my tips 
When I was a call-girl, I gave away my hips 
When I ran the kissing booth, I gave away my lips, 
I travel light and that's the life for me 

She lives a life like abandoned wind 
Elemental wife, fortune is her friend, 
I smile on a planet and a river made of light, 
she's just a pebble on a waterfall tonight 

When i go to Boston I stand around in jeans 
And save the cash for Levi’s by selling black-market baked beans 
Denim's what I like to wear it has durable seams 
I travel light and that's the life for me 

She just a genius without a thinking cap 
She never pays the rent, she's funny like that 
I don't know what she's on, she's here and gone 
Rides a welcome mat on a jungle cat 

Fur's and silver chairs and shiny things are just a fuss 
We'll eat all peanuts that we steal from the circus 
We'll count the all stars and go to sleep under the bus 
We'll travel light and that's the life for us 

We'll travel light and that's the life for us
We'll travel light and that's the life for us

The dog days are over-florence and the machine

G                                    Am Em D
Happiness, it hurt like a train on a track
G                                          Am Em D
Coming towards her, stuck still no turning back
G
She hid around corners and she hid under beds
                   Am              Em     D
She killed it with kisses and from it she fled
G
With every bubble she sank with a drink
                   Am       Em      D
And washed it away down the kitchen sink

Chorus

G                      
The dog days are over

The dog days are done
                Am       Em         D    
The horses are coming so you better run

G
Run fast for your mother run fast for your father

Run for your children and your sisters and brothers
                             Am
Leave all your love and your loving behind you
      Em                               D
Can't carry it with you if you want to survive

G                    
The dog days are over

The dog days are done
                Am          Em            D    
The can you hear the horses coz here they come 

the pattern of chords stays the same for the whole song so just listen to it to 
perfect the chord changes


And I never wanted anything from you
Except everything you had
And what was left after that too. oh.

Happiness it hurt like a bullet in the mind
Stuck them up drainpipes
By someone who should know better than that

 days are gone
Can you hear the horses
Cuz here they come

Run fast for your mother and fast for your father
Run for your children for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your love and your loving behind you
Can't carry it with you if you want to survive

The dog days are over
The dog days are gone
Can you hear the horses because here they come

The dog days are over
The dog days are gone
Can you hear the horses because here they come

Wild Belle chords Keep you

Cm Fm Cm G7 :
Same song again and again
you wronged me twice and I keep coming back (3X)

Tell me what the matter is -little man
I have a pretty face and I wear a nice dress (2x)

-chorus-
Why can't I keep you, keep you (2x)

Every minute that I spend with you I give you honey
and I give you true

All the other women that you treat so rude
Cry Cry cuz you make them boo

Running all over town like you got no nerve
Sleeping in the shanty of a brand. new. girl.
....
why can't I keep you for myself...

-chorus-
Why can't I keep you, keep you (2x)

Same song again and again
you wronged me twice and I keep coming back (3X)**



***note I add  "but you loved me once so I keep coming back" gives it some flavor.

shanhai cigarettes- caitlin rose

She uses a capo on 4th fret


Enjoy

Intro 

G  F   C  G


1st Verse

G                                    Em
Couldn't wait around just to share a smoke.
G                                              Em
Burned it down to the filter till it cinged my throat.
G                                           Em 
Made me start to think of what I ought to know,
F                C          F           C
So I put out the fire and I wrote you a note,

-chorus-
       G                               F           C        G
Said I just smoked the last, from that old pack of Shanghai cigarettes
G                                           Em
Left it all in the past so there's nothing left.
G                       F           Em
Go on, say hello, but I hope you know:
F                   C                F          G
This will never be right, and I will never let go.

G                                Em
Remember the day the whole thing started?
G                                      Em
And the little gold box in the glove compartment.
G                                    Em
I think I told you so, it was always waiting
F             C           F            C
To be opened at the first sign of breaking

G                                   Em  
Here we go again, with the long goodbye
G                                   Em
Cause you let the smoke get in your eyes
G                                                      Em
Trying to make you quit, will make you wish you never started
         F         C            F            C        
When the box is as emptier than the hole in your heart is,
Chorus
         G
Cause you just smoked the last
        F           C        G
Of that old pack of Shanghai cigarettes
G                                           Em 
Left it all in the past and there's nothing left.

G                          F        Em
Go on and say hello, but I hope you know
           F       C                 F         C    
This will never be right, and I will never let go.
           F       C                 F         C
This will never be right, and I will never let go.
           F       C                 F         G
This will never be right, I won't let you go.
