I Don’t Want To Get Over You

The Magnetic Fields

[G] I don’t want to get [C] over [G] you
I guess I could take a [C] sleeping [G] pill
And [C] sleep at [G] will
And not have to go [D] through
What I go through
[G] I guess I should take [C] Prozac, [G] right,
And just [C] smile all [G] night
At somebody [D] new
Somebody [Am] not too bright
But [C] sweet and [D] kind
Who would [Am] try to get
You [C] off my [D] mind
I could [Am] leave this
a - [C] gony [D] behind
Which is [C] just what I’d [D] do
If [C] I wanted [D] to
But I don’t want to get [C] over [G] you

Cause I don’t want to get [C] over [G] love
I could listen to my [C] thera - [G] pist,
Pretend you [C] don’t [G] exist,
And not have to dream [D] of
What I dream of
[G] I could listen to [C] all my [G] friends
And go [C] out [G] again
And pretend it’s [D] enough
Or I could [Am] make a career
Out of [C] being [D] blue
I could [Am] dress in black
And [C] read [D] Camus
Smoke [Am] clove cigarettes
And [C] drink [D] vermouth
Like I [C] was [D] 17
That [C] would be a [D] scream
But I don’t want to get [C] over [G] you

Why Don’t You Love Me (Like You Used To Do)

Hank Williams, Sr.

[G] Well, why don’t you love me like you [D] used to do
[G] How come you treat me like a [D] worn out shoe
[G] My hair’s still curly and my [C] eyes are still blue
So [G] why don’t you love me like you [D7] used to [G] do

[G] Why don’t you spark me like you [D] used to do
[G] And say sweet nothin’s like you [D] used to coo
[G] I’m the same old trouble that you’ve [C] always been through
So [G] why don’t you love me like you [D7] used to [G] do

Ain’t had no [C] lovin’ like a huggin’ and a kissin’ in a [D7] long, long [G] while
We don’t get [C] nearer or further or closer than a country [D7] mile

[G] Well, why don’t you be just like you [D] used to be
[G] How come you find so many [D] faults with me
[G] Somebody’s changed so let me [C] give you a clue
So [G] why don’t you love me like you [D7] used to [G] do

Ain’t had no [C] lovin’ like a huggin’ and a kissin’ in a [D7] long, long [G] while
We don’t get [C] nearer or further or closer than a country [D7] mile

[G] Why don’t you say the things you [D] used to say
[G] How come you treat me like a [D] piece of clay
[G] My hair’s still curly and my [C] eyes are still blue
So [G] why don’t you love me like you [D7] used to [G] do

Nobody’s Lonesome for Me

Hank WIlliams, Sr.

[G] Everybody’s lonesome for somebody else
But nobody’s lonesome for [D7] me
Everybody’s thinkin’ ’bout somebody else
But nobody thinks about [G] me
When the [C] time rolls around for me to [G] lay down and die
I bet [D7] I’ll have to go and hire me [A7] someone to [D] cry
[G] Everybody’s lonesome for somebody else
[D7] nobody is lonesome for [G] me.

[G] Everybody’s longin’ for somebody else
But nobody’s longin’ for [D7] me
Everybody’s dreamin’ about somebody else
But nobody dreams about [G] me
All I [C] need is a bride who want’s a [G] big-hearted groom
I [D7] wouldn’t care if she come ridin’ [A7] in on a [D] broom
[G] Everybody’s lonesome for somebody else
[D7] Nobody’s lonesome for [G] me

[G] Everybody’s pinin’ for somebody else
But nobody’s pinin’ for [D7] me
Everybody’s crazy ’bout somebody else
But nobody’s crazy ’bout [G] me
Oh, I [C] shined up my shoes and then I [G] slicked down my hair
Put [D7] on my Sunday best, but I ain’t [A7] goin’ [D] nowhere
[G] Everybody’s lonesome for somebody else
[D7] But nobody’s lonesome for [G] me

[G] Everybody’s yearnin’ for somebody else
But nobody’s yearnin’ for [D7] me
Everybody’s fallin’ for somebody else
But nobody’s fallin’ for [G] me
Now I [C] ain’t had a kiss since I fell [G] out of my crib
It [D7] looks to me like I been cheated [A7] out of my [D] rib
[G] Everybody’s lonesome for somebody else
[D7] Nobody’s lonesome for [G] me

Big Rock Candy Mountain

Folk Traditional (Recorded by Haywire Mac)

One [C] evening as the sun went down and the [F] jungle fire was [G] burning
Down the [C] track came a hobo hiking and he [F] said boys I’m not [G] turning
I’m [F] headin for a [C] land that’s [F] far [C] away [G] beside the crystal fountains
So [C] come with me we’ll go and see the [G] Big Rock Candy [C] Mountains

[C] In the Big Rock Candy Mountains there’s a [F] land that’s fair and [C] bright
Where the [F] handouts grow on [C] bushes and you [F] sleep out every [G] night
Where the [C] boxcars are all empty and the sun shines every day
On the [F] birds and the [C] bees and the [F] cigarette [C] trees
Where the [F] lemonade [C] springs where the [F] bluebird [C] sings
In the [G] Big Rock Candy [C] Mountains

[C] In the Big Rock Candy Mountains all the [F] cops have wooden [C] legs
And the [F] bulldogs all have [C] rubber teeth and the [F] hens lay soft boiled [G] eggs
The [C] farmer’s trees are full of fruit and the [F] barns are full of [C] hay
Oh, I’m [F] bound to [C] go where there [F] ain’t no [C] snow
Where the [F] rain don’t [C] fall and the [F] wind don’t [C] blow
In the [G] Big Rock Candy [C] Mountains

[C] In the Big Rock Candy Mountains you [F] never change your [C] socks
And the [F] little streams of [C] alcohol come a- [F] trickling down the [G] rocks
The [C] brakemen have to tip their hats and the [F] railroad bulls are [C] blind
There’s a [F] lake of [C] stew and of [F] whiskey [C] too
You can [F] paddle all a- [C] round ‘em in a [F] big [C] canoe
In the [G] Big Rock Candy [C] Mountains

[C] In the Big Rock Candy Mountains the [F] jails are made of [C] tin
And [F] you can walk right [C] out again as [F] soon as you are [G] in
There [C] ain’t no short handled shovels, no [F] axes saws or [C] picks
I’m a [F] goin to [C] stay where you [F] sleep all [C] day
Where they [F] hung the [C] jerk that in- [F] vented [C] work
In the [G] Big Rock Candy [C] Mountains

I’ll [F] see you [C] all this [F] coming [C] fall in the [G] Big Rock Candy [C] Mountains
