Thinkin’ of You I am a rambler and I am a rover I have been travelin’ this whole world over But now I’m thinkin’.....and how I’m thinkin’ of you I keep on movin’ to where I ‘m goin’ Followin’ restless winds that keep on blowin’ But now I’m thinkin’.....and how I’m thinkin’ of you Your thoughts are haunting me They’re wanting me to come home It’s not like me to......not be out here on my own I am a drifter and I am a dreamer Here from a distance how the grass grows greener But now I’m thinkin’.....and how I’m thinkin’ of you INSTRUMENTAL BREAK Your thoughts enthralling me They’re calling me to come back It’s not like me to......not have my home in my pack Don’t follow routines..... don’t follow orders Still get a thrill when breakin’ down old borders And now I’m thinkin’.....and how I’m thinkin’ of you And now I’m thinkin’.....and how I’m thinkin’ of you-ou-ou-ou-ou-------------------

They Were the Days A She was a friend of a friend of mine..She used to come around all the time D A We were so innocent.and barely made the rent E7 G-D A They were the days.................They were the days She had the look of a big eyed pup, and when she saw you she would run right up And give a big wet kiss. Oh baby, that was bliss They were the days.................They were the days She was the youngest of the young at heart, & when love hit me, it was like a dart That hit the center ring, and it changed everything They were the days.................They were the days D dm A B7 I remember feeling like I could fly ......wings wide open bm G E7 (break) With love and hope and..... floating in the sky She was as soft as a teddy bear & gave you meaning when there was none there A reason to exist , and I could not resist They were the days.................They were the days She was the center of the centerpiece. She was the main dish in a special feast That was some tasty stuff. Could never get enough. They were the days.................They were the days She used to nibble softly on my ears. She was the reason for so many tears. And I still miss her so. The memories come and go. They were the days.................They were the days D dm A Like the first puff would get you high B7 bm G E7(break) Then the last puff it would leave you feeling high and dry Just like the coffee in your morning cup will give you warmth & quickly wake you up She’d help you face the day, and throw the time away They were the days.................They were the days

Things We Do 04:21
Things We Do The hardest choices that you make are never black or white Together voices raised can change what’s wrong into what’s right And you must look inside to see what is in front of you Cause every answer’s in the little things we do Cause every answer’s in the little things we do We all are searching for some meaning in the things we choose And hope that by some chance we find a feeling we can’t lose And in the end your closest friends are always there for you Repeat last 2 lines of verse (do-do….do-do….do-do….do-do) What seems a curse can sometimes become opportunity Hope it can get no worse, than all the misery we see You reach your hand to help someone to try to make it through Repeat last 2 lines of verse (do-do….do-do-do….do-do-2x) (instrumental over verse) 4X ... (do-do….do-do-do….do-do-2x) Will we evolve from where we’ve been and what we’re before And learn to solve the problems of this world without more war The paradise we had was lost where once a garden grewi Repeat last 2 lines of verse (do-do….do-do….do-do….do-do) The universe expands and grows much bigger than we are And love is at the center like a gold and shining star And every day that passes by can bring you something new Repeat last 2 lines of verse (do-do…do-do-do…4X) (A-Asus-A, D---) repeated and end with A
