Artie Kaplan Bensonhurst Blues



(Cm)

(Cm) Bay Parkway wonder
(G) You're such a success
(G) Your pretty secretary
(Cm) She say you are the best

(Fm) Your face always smiling
(Cm) say you sure paid your dues
(G7) But I know inside
(Cm Cm6) You've got the Bensonhurst blues

(Cm) Those custom-made ciggies
(G) that you offer to me
(G) pretend and pretend to care about (Cm) my family

(Fm) And those pictures on your desk
(Cm) All them lies that you abuse
(G) Do they know you suffer froom
(Cm) the Bensonhurst blues

(Cm G G Cm
Fm Cm6 G Cm)
(bobobeevooyovoyvoyvoy)

(Cm) Your grandmother's accent
(G) still embarrasses you
(G) You're even ashamed
(Cm) of the French you once knew

(Fm) You're part of the times now
(Cm) Baby you're making the news
(G7) But I know inside
(Cm) It's still Bensonhurst blues

(Fm) But thanks for the lesson
(Cm) Cause the life that I choose
(G7) won't make me feel like living
(Cm) with the Bensonhurst blues

(Fm) And don't, don't try to write me
(Cm6) And don't bother to call
(G - stop)
Cause I'll be in conference
Merry Christmas you all

(Fm Cm G Cm
Fm Cm6 G Cm)

Tom Waits - Lucky Days



(F#) The prettiest girl
(Bb Ebm) In all the world
(G#m C#7 F#) Is in a little Spanish town
(C#7)
(F# Bb Ebm) But I left her for a Bonnie lass
(G#m) And I told her
(G#7 C#7) I'd see her around

(F# F#7)
But that Bonnie lass
(B) And her heart of glass
(G#) Would not hold a candle
(Rit. C#) To bumming around
(F#) So don't cry for me
(Bb Ebm) Caus' I'm going away
(G#m C#7 F#) And I'll be back some lucky day
(C#7)

(F#) Tell the boys back home
(Bb Ebm) That I'm doing just fine
(G#m C# F#) I left my troubles and woe
(C#7)
(F#)
So sing about me
(Bb Ebm) For I can't come home
(G# G# C# C#7) I've many (many many) more miles to go

(F# F#7) Why, there's Miss Kelsey
(B) She taught dance at our school
(G# C#7) And old Johnny O'Toole I'll still beat you at pool
(F#) So don't cry for me
(Bb Ebm) For I'm going away
(G#m C# F# C#7) And I'll be back some lucky day

(spoken, roaring to be precise)
(F#) Now when I was a boy
(Bb) My daddy sat me on his knee
(Ebm) And he told me
(G#m C#) He told me many things
(F#) And he said son
(C#7) There's a lot of things in this world
(F#) You're gonna have no use for
(Bb Ebm) And when you get blue
(G#) And you've lost all your dreams
(G# C#) There's nothing like a campfire
(C#) And a can of beans

(F# F#7) Why, there's Miss Kelsey
(B) She taught dance at our school
(G#) And old Johnny O'Toole
(C#) I'll still beat you at pool
(F#) So don't cry for me
(Bb Ebm) For I'm going away
(G#m C# F#) And I'll be back some lucky day
(C#7)
(F#) So don't cry for me
(Bb Ebm) For I'm going away
(G#m Rit. C# F#) And I'll be back some lucky day.

The Paragons - Got to get away


(There is also a version by Horace Andy)

Intro:

(G Fm Eb D) x2

(Cm Eb) There's a man that lives next door
(Gm Cm) In my neighbourhood
(Gm Cm) In my neighbourhood
(Fm Bb) He gets me down

He gets in so late at nights
Always a fuss and fight
Always a fuss and fight
All through the night

(Fm Cm) I've got to get away from here
(Fm Cm) This is not a place for me to stay
(Fm Cm) I've got to take my family
(G Fm Eb D) And find a quiet place
(G Fm Eb D)

Hear the pots and pans they fall
Bang! against the wall
Bang! against the wall
No rest at all

I've got to get away from here
This is not a place for me to stay
I've got to take my family
And find a quiet place
