3.That's The Way God Planned It

Why can't we be humble
Like the good lord said?
He promised to exault us

How man be so greedy
When there's so much land?
All things are god give
And they all have been blessed

That's the way god planned it
That's the way god wants it to be
That's the way god planned it
That's the way god wants it to be

Let not your heart beat trotta
Learn how to help each one another
And live in perfect peace

If we'd all just be humbler
Like the good lord said
He promised to exault us

That's the way god planned it
That's the way he wants it to be
You've got to believe me
That's the way god planned it
That's the way god wants it to be

I hope you get this message
You may not understand me

That's the way god planned it
That's the way god wants it to be
Come on, come on, come on now
You've got to believe me

That's the way god planned it
That's the way god wants it to be
Come on, yeah, yeah, come on now
That's the way god planned it
That's the way god wants it to be
Yeah yeah yeah

That's the way god planned it
That's the way god wants it to be
Yeah yeah yeah
That's the way god planned it
That's the way god wants it to be


4.It Don't Come Easy

(it don't come easy, you know it don't come easy)
(it don't come easy, you know it don't come easy)

Got to pay your dues if you want to sing the blues
And you know it don't come easy
You don't have to shout or leap about
You can even play them easy
Forget about the past and all your sorrow
The future won't last
It will soon be your tomorrow

I don't ask for much, i only want your trust
And you know it don't come easy
And this love of mine keeps growing all the time
And you know it don't come easy
Open up your heart, let's come together
Use a little luck, and we will make it work out better

Got to pay your dues if you want to sing the blues
And you know it don't come easy
You don't have to shout or leap about
You can even play them easy
Please remember peace is how we make it
Here withing your reach, is your freedom to take it

I don't ask for much, i only want your trust
And you know it don't come easy
(de de de) growing all the time
And you know it don't come easy

(thank you)


5.While My Guitar Gently Weeps

I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at the floor and i see it needs sweeping
Still my guitar gently weeps
I don't know why nobody told you how to unfold your love
I don't know how someone controlled you
They bought and sold you.

I look at the world and i notice it's turning
While my guitar gently weeps
With every mistake we must surely be learning
Still my guitar gently weeps
I don't know how you were diverted
You were perverted too
I don't know how you were inverted
No one alerted you.

I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
Look at you all . . .
Still my guitar gently weeps.


6.Jumpin' Jack Flash / Youngblood

(george:a couple of numbers from leon)


I was born in a crossfire hurricane
And i howled at my mama in the driving rain
But it's alright now in fact it's a gas
And it's alright, hey
I'm jumping jack flash it's a gas gas gas

I was raised by a toothless bearded hag
I was schooled with a strap right across my back
But it's alright now in fact it's a gas
And it's alright, hey
I'm jumping jack flash it's a gas gas gas

But it's alright now in fact it's a gas
And it's alright
I'm jumping jack flash it's a gas gas gas


But it's alright now in fact it's a gas
It's alright now in fact it's a gas
But it's alright now in fact it's a gas
But it's alright now, but it's alright now
But it's alright


Well, you know that i love my woman
But just sometimes she just don't treat me right
Yeah, i woke up this morning and i looked her in the eye
She said sweet daddy, you got what i want
But you ain't givin' it to me
Oh, and it hurt me deep down into my soul
Gonna ever see my baby no more

I went a-walkin' down the street
And i was ashamed to look at anyoone i meet
Leaning up against a lamp post
(well, tell it, tell it)


I saw her standing on the corner
A yellow ribbon in her hair
All night long my heart was shudder
Look at there, look at there
You're the one, look at there
Youngblood, youngblood, youngblood
Woo, i can't get you out of my mind

And i couldn't sleep, i went on crying
And i saw the risin' of the sun
All night long my heart was crying
You're the one, you're the one
You're the one, you're the one
Youngblood, youngblood, youngblood
Well, i can't get you out of my mind

I had to follow her all the way home
And when we were there
I met her dad, he said:
You'd better leave my daughter alone

And i couldn't sleep, i went on crying
And i saw the risin' of the sun
All night long my heart was crying
You're the one, you're the one
You are the one, you're the one
Youngblood, youngblood, youngblood
Woo, i can't get enough of your love

(youngblood)
Woo, you're breaking my heart in two
(youngblood, youngblood, youngblood)


Ooh, and i looked at that 19 year old girl
Right in the eye.
And i said you look so sweet to me darlin'
But there's one thing i got to tell you.
You know, i've got me a fine old lady
Lying back there in that bedroom at home
And i think i got to get hack to her.

Ooh, you ain't interested in my, she said.
And i crawled and i snugged and i crawled back in the bedroom

My baby looked at me with her great big blue bedroom eyes
And she said:
Wooh, dad where have you been all night long?
Yet i know i told you to get away from me
I told you to leave me alone
Wooh, but i had a chain in your heart
And i've been needin' you all night long
I ain't had none of the good thing

Yeah and i looked at my baby and i said
Baby, i said, what is it that i've got that you want, yeah?
She looked at me and she said, real slow, real soft, real sweet

She said this right here:


Yeah, it's alright now, in fact it's a gas
Well, it's alright now, in fact it's a gas
But, it's alright now, in fact it's a gas
It's alright, it's alright now


Yeah, now ev'rybody's got a young lady at home that they love
But sometimes the things, they just don't go right
But i want to tell you one thing, and it's for sure
You treat your woman like you treat yourself
Ev'rything is gonna be alright
Yeah it's gonna be alright now.


7.Here Comes The Sun

Here comes the sun (du dn du du)
Here comes the sun
And i say
It's alright

Little darling
It's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling
It seems like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun
And i say
It's alright

Little darling
The smiles returning to the faces
Little darling
It seems like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun (du dn du du)
Here comes the sun
And i say
It's alright

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes (four times)

Little darling
I see the ice is slowly melting
Little darling
It seems like years since it's been clear

Here comes the sun (du dn du du)
Here comes the sun
It's alright

Here comes the sun (du du du du)
Here comes the sun
It's alright
It's alright


8.A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall

(george:like to bring on a friend of us all, mr. bob dylan!)

Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son?
And where have you been, my darling young one?
I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains,
I've walked and i've crawled on six crooked highways,
I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests,
I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans,
I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard,
It's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed son?
And what did you see, my darling young one?
I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it,
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it,
I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin',
I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin',
I saw a white ladder all covered with water,
I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken,
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

What did you hear, my blue-eyed son?
And what did you hear, my darling young one?
I heard the sound of a thunder that roared out a warnin',
I heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world,
Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin',
Heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin',
I heard one person starve, i heard many people laughin',
Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter,
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

Who did you meet, my blue-eyed son?
Who did you meet, my darling young one?
I met a young child beside a dead pony,
I met a white man who walked a black dog,
I met a young woman whose body was burning,
I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow,
I met one man who was wounded in love,
I met another man who was wounded in hatred,
It's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

Oh, what'll you do now, my blue-eyed son?
And what'll you do now, my darling young one?
I'm a-goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a-fallin',
I'll walk to the depths of the deepest dark forest,
Where the people are many and their hands are all empty,
Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters,
Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison,
The executioner's face is always well hidden
Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten,
Where black is the color and none is the number,
And i'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it,
Reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it,
Then i'll stand on the ocean until i start sinkin',
But i'll know my song well before i start singin',
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

It's a hard rain's a gonna fall
It's a hard rain's a gonna fall


9.It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry

Well, i ride on a mailtrain, baby,
Can't buy a thrill.
I've been up all night, baby,
Leanin' on the window sill.
If i die
On top of the hill
And if i don't make it,
You know my baby will.

Don't the moon look good, mama,
Shinin' down through the trees?
Don't the brakeman look good, mama,
Flagging down the 'double e'?
Don't the sun look good
Goin' down over the sea?
Don't my gal look fine
When she's comin' after me?

Wintertime is coming,
The windows are filled with frost.
I went to tell everybody,
But i could not get across.
Well, i wanna be your lover, baby,
I don't wanna be your boss.
Don't say i never warned you
If your train gets lost.


10.Blowin' In The Wind

How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
How many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

How many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea?
How many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
How many times can a man turn his head,
Pretending he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

How many times can a dumb man look up
Before he can see the sky?
How many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
How many deaths will it take till he knows
Too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.


11.Mr. Tambourine Man

Hey! mr. tambourine man, play a song for me,
I'm not sleepy and there is no place i'm going to.
Hey! mr. tambourine man, play a song for me,
In the jingle jangle morning i'll come followin' you.

Though i know that evenin's empire has returned into sand,
Vanished from my hand,
Left me blindly here to stand but still not sleeping.
My weariness amazes me, i'm branded on my feet,
I have no one to meet
And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming.

Hey! mr. tambourine man, play a song for me,
I'm not sleepy and there is no place i'm going to.
Hey! mr. tambourine man, play a song for me,
In the jingle jangle morning i'll come followin' you.

Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship,
My senses have been stripped, my hands can't feel to grip,
My toes too numb to step, wait only for my boot heels
To be wanderin'.
I'm ready to go anywhere, i'm ready for to fade
Into my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way,
I promise to go under it.

Hey! mr. tambourine man, play a song for me,
I'm not sleepy and there is no place i'm going to.
Hey! mr. tambourine man, play a song for me,
In the jingle jangle morning i'll come followin' you.

Then take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind,
Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves,
The haunted, frightened trees, out to the windy beach,
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow.
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free,
Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands,
With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves,
Let me forget about today until tomorrow.

Hey! mr. tambourine man, play a song for me,
I'm not sleepy and there is no place i'm going to.
Hey! mr. tambourine man, play a song for me,
In the jingle jangle morning i'll come followin' you.


12.Just Like A Woman

Nobody feels any pain
Tonight as i stand inside the rain
Ev'rybody knows
That baby's got new clothes
But lately i see her ribbons and her bows
Have fallen from her curls.
She takes just like a woman
And she makes love just like a woman
And she aches just like a woman
But she breaks just like a little girl.

Queen mary, she's my friend
Yes, i believe i'll go see her again
Nobody has to guess
That baby can't be blessed
Till she sees finally that she's like all the rest
With her fog, her amphetamine and her pearls.
She takes just like a woman
She makes love just like a woman
And she aches just like a woman
But she breaks just like a little girl.

It was raining from the first
And i was dying there of thirst
So i came in here
And your long-time curse hurts
But what's worse
Is this pain in here
I can't stay in here
Ain't it clear that

That i just can't fit
Yes, i believe it's time for us to quit
But when we meet again
Introduced as friends
Please don't let on that you knew me when
I was hungry and it was your world.
Ah, you fake just like a woman, yeah you do and
You make love just like a woman, yeah and
You ache just like a woman
But you break just like a little girl.


13.Something

Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she woos me

I don't want to leave her now
You know i believe and how

Somewhere in the way she smiles
That i don't need no other lover
Something in her style that shows me

I don't want to leave her now
You know i believe and how

You're asking me will my love grow
I don't know, i don't know
You stick around and it may show
I don't know, i don't know

Something in the way she knows
All i have to do is think of her
Something in the things she shows me

I don't want to leave her now
You know i believe and how

(thank you very much)


14.Bangla Desh

My friend came to me, with sadness in his eyes
He told me that he wanted help
Before his country dies

Although i couldn't feel the pain, i knew i had to try
Now i'm asking all of you
To help us save some lives

Bangla desh, bangla desh
Where so many people are dying fast
And it sure looks like a mess
I've never seen such distress
Now won't you lend your hand and understand
Relieve the people of bangla desh

Bangla desh, bangla desh
Such a great disaster - i don't understand
But it sure looks like a mess
I've never known such distress
Now please don't turn away, i want to hear you say
Relieve the people of bangla desh
Relieve bangla desh

Bangla desh, bangla desh
Now it may seem so far from where we all are
It's something we can't neglect
It's something i can't neglect
Now won't you give some bread to get the starving fed
We've got to relieve bangla desh
Relieve the people of bangla desh
We've got to relieve bangla desh
Relieve the people of bangla desh

16.Wah-wah

Wah-wah
You've given me a wah-wah
And i'm thinking of you
And all the things that we used to do
Wah-wah, wah-wah

Wah-wah
You made me such a big star
Being there at the right time
Cheaper than a dime
Wah-wah, you've given me your wah-wah, wah-wah

Oh, you don't see me crying
Oh, you don't hear me sighing

Wah-wah
I don't need no wah-wah
And i know how sweet life can be
If i keep myself free from the wah-wah
I don't need no wah-wah

Oh, you don't see me crying
Hey baby, you don't hear me sighing
Oh, no no-no no

Wah-wah
Now i don't need no wah-wah's
And i know how sweet life can be
If i keep myself free - of wah-wah
I don't need no wah-wah

Wah-wah (repeat and fade)


17.Beware Of Darkness

Watch out now, take care
Beware of falling swingers
Dropping all around you
The pain that often mingles
In your fingertips
Beware of darkness

Watch out now, take care
Beware of the thoughts that linger
Winding up inside your head
The hopelessness around you
In the dead of night

Beware of sadness
It can hit you
It can hurt you
Make you sore and what is more
That is not what you are here for

Watch out now, take care
Beware of soft shoe shufflers
Dancing down the sidewalks
As each unconscious sufferer
Wanders aimlessly
Beware of maya

Watch out now, take care
Beware of greedy leaders
They take you where you should not go
While weeping atlas cedars
They just want to grow, grow and grow
Beware of darkness (beware of darkness)


18.Awaiting On You All

You don't need no love in
You don't need no bed pan
You don't need a horoscope or a microscope
The see the mess that you're in
If you open up your heart
You will know what i mean
We've been polluted so long
Now here's a way for you to get clean

By chanting the names of the lord and you'll be free
The lord is awaiting on you all to awaken and see
Chanting the names of the lord and you'll be free
The lord is awaiting on you all to awaken and see

You don't need no passport
And you don't need no visas
You don't need to designate or to emigrate
Before you can see jesus
If you open up your heart
You'll see he's right there
Always was and will be
He'll relieve you of your cares

By chanting the names of the lord and you'll be free
The lord is awaiting on you all to awaken and see
Chanting the names of the lord and you'll be free
The lord is awaiting on you all to awaken and see

You don't need no church house
And you don't need no temple
You don't need no rosary beads or them books to read
To see that you have fallen
If you open up your heart
You will know what i mean
We've been kept down so long
Someone's thinking that we're all green

And while the pope owns 51% of general motors
And the stock exchange is the only thing he's qualified to quote
us
The lord is awaiting on you all to awaken and see
By chanting the names of the lord and you'll be free
