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-------------------

Central, California, in the fields
Living with a threat that is still so real
Herbicides, pesticides, toxic sprays
Cancer number grows while workers are exposed everyday
McFarland, California’s a sleepy town
But cancer seems like it is all around
Irregular births, and deformities
A way of life, Is this how life ought to be?
REPEAT CHORUS
(/em9---/bmsus4---/em9---/bmsus4---/em9---/bmsus4---/em9----/D-A-)
Substance abuse on the grocery shelf
How can this not affect our health?
Unblemished foods that look so fake
Habits that, habits that we must break
Insecticide residues on the skin
How much of this make it’s way within
Imported foods sold across our land
Sown and grown with substances we have banned
REPEAT CHORUS
(/em9---/bmsus4---/em9---/bmsus4---/em9---/bmsus4---/em9----/em----)

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
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
