BLUE EYES CRYING IN THE RAIN

(A) In the twilight glow I see her,

(E7) Blue eyes crying in the (A) rain

When we kissed goodbye and parted,

I (E7) knew we'd never meet (A) again (A7)

,

(D) Love is like a dying ember...(A) only memories (E7) remain

(D) Through the ages I'll remember, (E7) blue eyes crying in the (A) rain

(A) Now my hair has turned to silver

(E7) All my life I've loved in (A) vain,

(A) I can see her star in heaven, (E7) blue eyes crying in the (A) rain (A7)

(D) Someday when we meet up yonder

(A) We'll stroll hand and hand (E7) again

(A) In a land that knows no parting,

(E7) blue eyes crying in the (A) rain (D. A.)

Early Morning Rain--Gordon Lightfoot

INTRO: G G Bm Bm Am D7 G G

G G Bm Bm

In the early morning rain

Am D7 G G

With a dollar in my hand

G G Am Am

With an aching in my heart

D7 D7 G G

And my pockets full of sand

G G Am Am

I'm a long ways from home

D7 D7 G G

And I missed my loved one so

G G Bm Bm

In the early morning rain

Am D7 G G

With no place to go

G G Bm Bm

Out on runway number nine

Am D7 G G

Big 707 set to go

G G Am Am

But I’m out here on the grass

D7 D7 G G

Where the cold wind blows

G G Am Am

Now the liquor tasted good

D7 D7 G G

And the women all were fast

G G Bm Bm

Well there she goes my friend

Am D7 G G

She's rolling down at last

G G Bm Bm

Hear the mighty engines roar

Am D7 G G

See the silver bird on high

G g Am Am

She's away and westward bound

D7 D7 G G

Far above the clouds she’ll fly

G G Am Am

Where the morning rain don't fall

D7 D7 G G

And the sun always shines

G G Bm Bm

She'll be flying over my home

Am D7 G G

In about three hours’ time

G G Bm Bm

This old airport’s got me down

Am D7 G G

It's no earthly good to me

G G Am Am

Cause I’m stuck here on the ground

D7 D7 G G

As cold and drunk as I can be

G G Am Am

You can't jump a jet plane

D7 D7 G G

Like you can a freight train

G G Bm Bm

So I best be on my way

Am D7 G G

In the early morning rain

G G Am Am

You can't jump a jet plane

D7 D7 G G

Like you can a freight train

G G Bm Bm

So I best be on my way

In the early morning rain

I AM THE MERCURY --JIMMY SPHEERIS

INTRO: Bm

VERSE:

Bm A G Bm

I cannot go any more to the marshes

Bm A G Bm

Where the gatekeeper smiles at the poisons he's made,

Bm A G Bm

For my heart belongs to the one on the mountain

Bm A G Bm Bm Bm

Where doves build their nests in the sun-ripened glade

CHORUS:

D C D

For I am the Mercury, the light of the morning,

F#m Em F#m C

Looking for shelter in this thunder and this rain

Bm A G Bm

And you, like some windmill, weaves light where it's storming

Bm A G G Bm Bm

And love like a potion for the hunger and the pa-aaaaaa-ain

Bm G Bm G Bm

Let it rain

VERSE:

Bm A G Bm

I have been bought, I've been sold in the city

Bm A G Bm

I've dined with the demons and I drank of their fear

Bm A G Bm

But you, you have known and waited in silence

Bm A G Bm Bm Bm

Come cradle my heart with a homecoming tear

CHORUS:

D C D

And we are the Mercury, the light of the morning,

F#m Em F#m C

Looking for shelter in this thunder and this rain

Bm A G Bm

And he, like some windmill, weaves light where it's storming

Bm A G G Bm Bm

His love like a potion for the hunger and the pa-aaaaaa-ain

OUTRO:

Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain on the mountain

Let it rain, come, let it rain, let it rain on the mountain

Clouds of myst'ry pourin' confusion on the ground

Good men through the ages tryin' to find the sun

Five year plans and new deals wrapped in golden chain

C D Em G

and I wonder still I wonder who'll stop the rain

Heard the singers playin' how we cheered for more

Still the rain kept pourin' fallin' on my ears

And I wonder still I wonder who'll stop the rain
