SONGBOOK NIGHT 

wITH MaTT HarTwell-HerrerO 

wINTer 2012

Welcome to Songbook Night! 

Songbook Night creates community by bringing 

people together through singing. People love to sing, 

especially in groups where they don’t have to feel 

like they’re on the spot. It fills a need that is old as 

humanity. 

I’ve experienced this firsthand through many years of 

singing with people around many campfires, but 2011 

was the year that we started playing Songbook Night 

out at venues. Seeing scores of ‘ordinary people’ 

come out and sing their heads off has been truly 

inspirational. 

2011 was also the first year that I started seeing 

copies of the Songbook that people I barely knew 

had printed themselves. This is a long way from 

the humble beginnings with about 50 songs pulled 

down from the Intarwebs. Starting with a handful 

of songs by The Beatles, The Grateful Dead, Beck, 

White Stripes, and other classics, I quickly discovered 

that you can’t trust everything you read on the nets. 

Wrong chords. Wrong words. Wrong verses, missing 

lyrics. 

For 5+ years, I’ve been honing the book you’re holding 

in your hands now. Long hours playing the songs in 

iTunes (and now Spotify!), with a guitar and InDesign 

have allowed them to be corrected and expanded. 

The work is never done, as I’m always finding new 

things to fix and new songs to add. This time out, 

we’ve added Neil Young, more Dylan, The Cars, more 

Dead, more Eagles, Elvis(!), The Go-Gos, The Talking 

Heads, and much more. 

You can do your part! Send us your song suggestions 

and find out about upcoming shows at: 

http://www.facebook.com/songbooknight 

Hope you have a great time singing with us. I’ve had a 

great time playing and singing with you.

Take these sunken eyes and learn to see

Rocky Racoon, by The Beatles 

Am7 D7sus D7 G7 C C/B (whole song) 

Now somewhere in the black mining hills of Dakota 

There lived a young boy named Rocky Raccoon 

And one day his woman ran off with another guy 

Hit young Rocky in the eye, Rocky didn’t like that 

He said “I’m gonna get that boy” 

So one day he walked into town 

Booked himself a room in the local saloon 

Rocky Raccoon checked into his room 

Only to find Gideon’s bible 

Rocky had come equipped with a gun 

To shoot off the legs of his rival 

His rival it seems had broken his dreams 

By stealing the girl of his fancy 

Her name was Magil and she called herself Lil 

But everyone knew her as Nancy 

Now she and her man who called himself Dan 

Were in the next room at the hoe down 

Rocky burst in and grinning a grin 

He said “Danny boy this is a showdown” 

But Daniel was hot, and he drew first and shot 

And Rocky collapsed in the corner 

INSTRUMENTAL 

Am7 D7 G7 C C/B 

Now the doctor came in stinking of gin 

And proceeded to lie on the table 

He said “Rocky you met your match” 

And Rocky said, “Doc it’s only a scratch 

And I’ll be better, I’ll be better doc as soon as I 

am able” 

Now Rocky Raccoon he fell back in his room 

Only to find Gideon’s bible 

Gideon checked out and he left it no doubt 

To help with good Rocky’s revival

Simple Twist of Fate, by Bob Dylan 

INTRO 

E E2 E7 A Am E B A E B 

E 

They sat together in the park 

E2 

As the evening sky grew dark 

E7 

She look at him and he felt a spark, 

A 

Tingle to his bones 

Am 

‘Twas then he felt alone, 

E B A 

And wished that he’d gone straight 

E B E 

And watched out for a simple twist of fate. 

E 

They walked along by the old canal 

E2 

A little confused I remember well 

E7 

Stopped into a strange hotel, 

A 

With the neon burning bright 

Am 

He felt the heat of the night, 

E B A 

Hit him like a freight train, 

E B E 

Moving with a simple twist of fate. 

E 

A saxaphone someplace far off played 

E2 

As she was walking down by the arcade 

E7 

As the light burst through a beat up shade, 

A 

Were he was waking up 

Am 

She dropped a coin into the cup, 

E B A 

Of a blind man at the gate 

E B E 

And forgot about a simple twist of fate. 

E 

He woke up the room was bare 

E2 

He didn’t see her anywhere 

E7 

He told himself he didn’t care, 

A 

Threw the window open wide 

Am 

Felt an emptyness inside, 

E B A 

To which he just could not relate 

E B E 

Bought on by a simple twist of fate. 

CONTINUED ON THE NEXT PAGE

E 

He hears the ticking of the clocks 

E2 

And walks along with a parrot that talks 

E7 

Hunts her down by the waterfront docks, 

A 

Where the saliors all come in 

Am 

Maybe she’ll pick him out again. 

E B A 

How long must he wait? 

E B E 

On mor time for a simple twist of fate. 

E 

People tell me it’s a sin 

E2 

To know and feel too much within 

E7 

I still believe she was my twin, 

A 

But I lost the ring 

Am 

She was born in spring, 

E B A 

But I was born to late

Blame it on a simple twist of fate.

Sweet Baby James, by James Taylor 

INTRO 

G F# E A+ A 

D A G F#m 

There is a young cowboy he lives on the range. 

Bm G D F#m 

His horse and his cattle are his only companion. 

Bm G D F#m 

He works in the saddle and he sleeps in the canyon. 

G D A Em A 

Waiting for summer, his pastures to change. 

G A D 

And as the moon rises he sits by his fire. 

Bm G D A 

Thinkin’ about women and glasses of beer. 

G A D 

Closing his eyes as the doggies retire 

Bm G D 

He sings out a song which is soft but it’s clear 

Bm E A 

As if maybe someone could hear. 

CHORUS 

D G A D 

Goodnight you moonlight ladies. 

Bm G D 

Rock-a-bye sweet baby James. 

Bm G D 

Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose. 

Bm E A+ A 

Won’t you let me go down in my dreams. 

G A D 

And rock-a-bye sweet baby James. 

D A G F#m 

Now the first of December was covered with snow. 

Bm G D F#m 

And so was the turnpike from Stockridge to Boston. 

Bm G D F#m 

Lord the Berkshires seemed dreamlike on account of 

that frosting. 

G D A Em A 

With ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to 

go. 

G A D 

There’s a song that they sing when they take to the 

highway. 

Bm G D A 

A song that they sing when they take to the sea. 

G A D 

A song that they sing of they’re home in the sky. 

Bm G D 

Maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep. 

Bm E A+ A 

But singing works just fine for me. 

CHORUS 

D G A D 

Goodnight you moonlight ladies. 

Bm G D 

Rock-a-bye sweet baby James. 

Bm G D 

Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose. 

Bm E A+ A 

Won’t you let me go down in my dreams.

And rock-a-bye sweet baby James.

I’m trying to tell you something about my life 


Maybe give me insight between black and white 

D11 Cadd9 

The best thing you’ve ever done for me 

D11 Cadd9 

Is to help me take my life less seriously, 


it’s only life after all 


Well darkness has a hunger that’s insatiable 


And lightness has a call that’s hard to hear

Bad, by U2 

Asus A x2 Dsus D x2 (Whole Song) 

If you twist and turn away 

If you tear yourself in two again 

If I could, yes I would 

If I could, I would 

Let it go, surrender, dislocate 

If I could throw this 

Lifeless lifeline to the wind 

Leave this heart of clay 

See you walk, walk away 

Into the night 

And through the rain 

Into the half-light 

And through the flame 

If I could through myself 

Set your spirit free 

I’d lead your heart away 

See you break, break away 

Into the light 

And to the day 

To let it go, and so to fade away x2 

I’m wide awake x3 

I’m not sleeping 

Oh, no, no, no 

If you should ask then maybe they’d 

Tell you what I would say 

True colors fly in blue and black 

Bruised silken sky and burning flag 

Colors crash, collide in blood shot eyes 

If I could, you know I would 

If I could, I would let it go... 

This desperation, dislocation, separation 

condemnation, revelation, in temptation 

isolation, desolation 

To let it go, and so fade away x3 

I’m wide awake x3 

I’m not sleeping 

Oh, no, no, no

C G 

I am thinking it’s a sign 

F 

that the freckles in our eyes 

C 

are mirror images and when we kiss

they’re perfectly Aligned. 

C G 

And I have to speculate that god 

F 

himself did make us into corresponding 

C G 

Shapes, like puzzle pieces from the clay. 

C G 

And true, it may seem like a stretch, but it’s 

F 

thoughts like this that catch my troubled 

C G 

head when you’re away, when I am missing 

you to death. 

C G 

When you’re out there on the road, 

F 

for several weeks of shows and when you 

C G 

scan the radio I hope this song will guide you. 

CHORUS

They will see us waving from such 

F C G 

great heights come down now they’ll say. 

C G 

But everything looks perfect from far away, come 

F C G 

down now, but we’ll stay. 

C G 

I tried my best to leave this all on 

F 

your machine, but the persistant beat it 

C G 

sounded thin upon listening. 

C G 

And that, frankly will not fly, you will 

F 

hear the shrillest highs and the lowest lows 

C G 

with the windows down when this is guiding you 

home. 

CHORUS

They will see us waving from such

great heights come down now they’ll say.

Grace Cathedral Hill, by The Decemberists 

G Em 

Grace Cathedral hill, all wrapped in the 

bones of a setting sun, 

C 

all dust and stone and moribund. 

D 

I paid twenty-five cents to 

D7 

light a little white candle 

G Em 

For a New Year’s Day. I sat and watched it burn away 

then 

C 

turned and weaved through the slow decay. 

D D7 

We were both a little hungry so we went 

to get a hotdog. 

G Em 

Down the Hyde St. Pier, the light was slight and 

disapeared. 

C 

The air, it stunk of fish and beer 

D D7 

We heard a Superman trumpet play the National 

Anthem. 

CHORUS 

C G Em C 

And the world may belong for you,

but he’ll never belong to you. But on a motorbike, 

when

all the city lights blind your eyes tonight 

C D 

are you feeling better now? 

G Em 

Are you feeling better now 

C Cm 

Are you feeling better now? 

G Em 

Some way to greet the year: your eyes all 

bright and brimmed with tears. 

C 

The pilgrims, pills and tourist here all sing 

D D7 

“Fifty three bucks to buy a brand new halo.” 

G Em 

Sweet on a green-eyed girl, all fiery 

Irish clip and curl 

C 

All brine and piss and vinegar. 

D D7 

I paid twenty-five cents to light a little white candle. 

CHORUS 

C G Em C 

And the world may belong for you,

The Ballad of Bobby & June, by Mitch & 

Mickey 

INTRO 

E Esus4 E x2 

F#m A E Esus4 E 

This is the story of Bobby and June. 

F#m A E 

A boy and a girl who kidnapped the moon. 

B A 

But they fell in love to the sounds of guns, 


The year was Eighteen Sixty One. 


The army came looking for men to re-cruit. 

F#m A E 

Dressin’ boys up like soldiers in blue Union suits. 

B A 

Take this sword and cut down Johnny Reb, they said. 


You’ll come back a hero, or you’ll come back dead. 

CHORUS 

A/E B/E A/E B/E 

Stay with me Bobby; don’t go a-way from me now. 


I want you say that you love me; don’t go a-way 

from me now. 

E Esus4 E 

I want you to stay. 

E Esus4 E (x2) 


Now Bobby he marched to the eye of the storm, 

F#m A E 

The blue coats were falling; the blood was still warm. 

B A 

A battle was raging, and the only thing in his eyes, 

F#m A Esus4 E 

Was the thought of his June and making it home 

a-live. 


His army out-numbered; they started to run. 

F#m A E 

When Bobby went down with the crack of a gun. 

B A 

And as he lay still his face sinking in the rain, 

F#m A Esus4 E 

He knew that he never and ever would see, June 

a-gain. 

CHORUS 





from me now. 

E Esus4 E 




It was the morning of Christmas when June heard a 

sound, 

F#m A E 

Of someone approaching, their boots scraping on the 

ground. 

B A 

As she looked out the window her heart pounded in 

her breast, 

F#m A Esus4 E 

A broken young Bobby was clutching a wounded 

chest. 

BRIDGE 

C#m 

She ran out to help ease his pain. 

A 

He looked up and whispered her name. 

C#m A 

Then she cradled his head in her arms and he smiled, 

B 

When he heard his June say;

But I don’t think I’d like to live there

I don’t want to live on the moon

But I don’t think I’d like to live there

I might stay for a day there if I had my wish 

F F/E Dm7 C 

But there’s not much to do when your friends are all 

fish 

F C G Am 

And an oyster and clam aren’t real family

So I don’t want to live in the sea 

F F/E Dm7 C 

I’d like to visit the jungle, hear the lions roar

Go back in time and meet a dinosaur

There’s so many strange places I’d like to be

But none of them permanently

Well, I’ll dance on a moonbeam and then

I will make a wish on a star

And I’ll wish I was home once again

Though I’d like to look down at the Earth from above

I would miss all the places and people I love
