D                 C                      G                        (Riff 1)
  Big Sky looked down on all the people who think they've got problems
F              C                                         G              (Riff 2)
  They get depressed and they hold their heads in their hands and they cry
D                       C                  G                (Riff 1)
  People lift up their hands and they look up to The Big Sky
         F                C           G
But the Big Sky's too big to sympathize

[Chorus]
(Riff 2)               D C G
Big Sky's too occupied
(Riff 2)                    D C G
Though he would like to try
(Riff 2)                  D C G
When he feels glad inside
(Riff 2)                 D C G  F
Big Sky's too big to cry

[Outro]
Bb   Gm  Eb        Bb  Eb        Bb    Eb               Bb
One day we'll be free, we won't care, just you wait and see
Bb    Gm   Eb     Bb       Eb
Till that day can be don't let it get you down

This world is big and wild and half insane
E                                A
Take me where real animals are playing
        E          A               E          A
Just a dirty old shack, where the hound dogs bark

That we called our home, I wanna be back there

Little girl can play beneath my window

Girl it's a hard, hard world if it gets you down

Dreams often fade and die in a bad, bad world

I'll take you where real animals are playing

And people are real people not just playing
        E            A          E          A
It's a quiet, quiet life, by a dirty old shack

That we called our home, I wanna be back there

Out in the country,  far from all the soot and noise of the city

There's a Village Green

Down by the Village Green

[Verse 2]
Am        Dm     G               C                 F    Dm

And kissed her by the old oak tree
Am        Dm     G              C             F         Dm
Ah, la-la-la, la,  although I loved my Daisy, I sought fame
     E             Am
And so I left the Village Green
 
[Chorus]
Dm         Dm/C#        Dm/C           Dm/B
I miss the Village Green,  and all the simple people
Am         Am/G#        Am/G                Am/F#
I miss the Village Green,  the church, the clock, the steeple

I miss the morning dew, fresh air, and Sunday school
 
[Verse 3]
    Am           Dm    G             C           F       Dm

flock to see the Village Green
Am        Dm     G                   C              F         Dm
Ah, la-la-la, la,  they snap their photographs and say "Gor' darn it
E            Am
Isn't it a pretty scene?"
Am        Dm     G              C                F        Dm
Ah, la-la-la, la,  and Daisy's married Tom the grocer boy
     E              Am
And now he owns a grocery

[Chorus]
Dm         Dm/C#        Dm/C           Dm/B
I miss the Village Green,  and all the simple people
Am         Am/G#        Am/G                Am/F#
I miss the Village Green,  the church, the clock, the steeple
B7                        E
I miss the morning dew, fresh air, and Sunday school

[Verse 4]
    Am        Dm        G               C               F       Dm
And I will return there,  and I'll see Daisy and we'll sit and laugh
     E              Am
And talk about the Village Green

[Outro]
Am        Dm     G C

       G         D       F         C        Bb                  F
There lived the cat, a phenomenal cat, who loved to wallow all day
D       G        D                 G            D
No one bothered him as he sat, content in his tree

He just lived to eat 'cause it kept him fat and that's how he wanted to stay

[Chorus 1]
Dm                     A            C                 F
Though he was big and fat, all the world was good to him
        Dm                 A            C            Fsus4
And he pointed out on the map all the places he had been
Dm         Dm/G   Dm/F Dm/E      Dm/C Dm/Bb         A     A/G
Cowes, Sardinia, Katmandu, The Scilly Isles, and Sahara, too

[Verse 2]

[Chorus 2]

Once when he was thin, he had flown to old Hong Kong
         Dm                    A             C                 Fsus4
And had learned the secret of life, and the sea and the sky beyond
       Dm         Dm/G     Dm/F      Dm/E    Dm/C   Dm/Bb          A   A/G
So he gave up his diet and sat in a tree and ate himself through eternity

[Verse]
E                                         A
My big day, it was the biggest day of my life
F#m                   A
It was the summit of my long career
    E                      A
But I felt so down, and I drank too much beer
       F#m                  A
And my manager said that I should not appear
E                                            A
I walked out onto the stage and started to speak
     F#m                           A
The first night I've missed for a couple of years
      E                              A
I explained to the crowed and they started to jeer
    F#m                   A            N.C.
And just when I wanted no one to be there
 
[Chorus 1]
E           E7           A  A/G# F#m
All of my friends were there
         F#m/E            D                 D/C# Bm7 Bm7/A
Not just my friends, but their best friends too
G#         G#7          C#7      F#         B     B7
All of my friends were there to stand and stare. Say what they may,
E              E7               A A/G# F#m
All of their friends need not stare
            F#m/E           D          D/C# Bm7 Bm7/A
Those who laughed were not friends anyway
G#         G#7          C#7       F#        B N.C.
All of my friends were there to stand and stare
 
[Verse 2]
E                                              A
Days went by, I walked around dressed in a disguise
   F#m                   A
I wore a mustache and I parted my hair
     E                       A
And gave the impression that I did not care
    F#m                    A
But oh, the embarrassment, oh, the dispair
E                                                A
Came the day, helped with a few last glasses of gin
   F#m                    A
I nervously mounted the stage once again
       E                        A
Got through my performance and no one complained
      F#m                   A          N.C.
Thank God I can go back to normal again
 
[Outro]
   E           E7     A A/G# F#m
I went to that old cafe
            F#m/E         D       D/C# Bm7 Bm7/A
Where I had been in much happier days
    G#         G#7          C#7       F#      B      B7
And all of my friends were there, and no one cared. Say what they may,
E           E7           A  A/G# F#m
All of my friends were there
         F#m/E            D                 D/C# Bm7 Bm7/A
Not just my friends, but their best friends too
G#         G#7          C#7       F#       B
All of my friends were there, now I don't care

[Verse 1]
G#            F#    E      G#                 F#      E
In a dark and misty house where no Christian man has been
A           E     A       E         G#      F#    E
Wicked Annabella mixes a brew that no one's ever seen
G#              F#    E             G#            F#     E
Relatives have passed her by, too scared to even say hello
      A             E              A            E
She's in perpetual midnight, she shuts out the day
     G#             F#     E
And goes about her sinful ways
 
[Chorus]                                             (Riff 1)
A                                                       E
I, I've seen her hair, I've seen her face look towards mine
                                                  (Riff 2)
A                                                   E  D  A
I, I've felt her eyes burning my soul, twisting my mind

[Verse 2]
G#               F#      E          G#             F#      E
Little children who are good should always go to sleep at night
         A         E       A           E   G#              F#         E
'Cause Wicked Annabella is up in the sky, hopin' they will open their eyes
      G#       F#     E            G#               F#         E
Don't go into woods tonight, 'cause underneath the sticks and stones
      A             E         A            E      G#              F#        E
Are lots of little demons enslaved by Annabella, waiting just to carry you home

Under a lamp light, Monica stands at midnight
           D7               D
And every guy think he can buy her love
                D7                     D
But money can't buy sweet lovin' from Monica

[Verse 2]
G                                         D
Morning to moonshine, Monica knows every line
               D7                   D
Don't ever propose, 'cause Monica knows, you know
                    D7                  D
She'll turn up her nose and say what a fool you are

[Chorus]
G           G7  G           G7 G            C
I, I shall die. I, I shall die if I should lose Monica
G           G7    G         G7   G              C              D   D7

[Verse 3]
G                                                D
You take the sunshine, I'll take the nightly shadows
                 D7                 D    
'Cause everyone knows that Monica glows at night
                      D7                    D     
She'll do something wrong and prove to you she is right

[Chorus]
G           G7  G           G7 G            C
I, I shall die. I, I shall die if I should lose Monica
G           G7    G         G7   G              C              D   D7
People can try. People can try, but they can't buy Monica, my love

[Outro]

Morning to moonshine, Monica knows every line

Don't ever propose, 'cause Monica knows, you know
                    D7                  D
She'll turn up her nose and say what a fool you are

[Verse 1]
G                                           F
People take pictures of the summer just in case someone thought they had missed it
       D
And to prove that it really existed
G                                             F
Fathers take picture of the mothers, and the sisters take pictures of brothers
          D
Just to show that they love one another

[Chorus 1]
     C                                    C7
You can't picture love that you took from me
                            F          C
When we were young and the world was free
                                   C7
Pictures of things as they used to be, don't show me no more please

[Verse 2]
G                                            F
People take pictures of each other just to prove that they really existed

Just to prove that they really existed
G                                           F
People take pictures of each other and the moment can last them forever
        D
Of the time when they mattered to someone

Nie-na-nie-na, Nie-na-nie-na

And to prove that it really existed
G                                           F
People take pictures of each other and one moment will last them forever
        D
At the time when they mattered to someone

[Chorus 2]
   C                             C7
A picture of me when I was just three
                      F       C
Sat with my ma by the old oak tree
                                  C7
How I love things as they used to be, don't show me no more please
