You don't get nervous anymore, do you?
I still get anticipatory, [N] yes.

_ _ _ So, um,
I'd like to do a few old
Valdi tunas here, if that's okay.

I was lucky enough to perform with the
Hometown Band when we were out cruising about.
And they, uh,
[Dm] _
_ Okay, I think I'm in, or am I?
Here, try [E] that.
Click, click, click.
You'll like that a lot [N] better, Pat.

_ _ _ [G] applause
So you went to Memphis
[D]
You did the things you wanted
You came up to
Winnipeg and you slept
out in the zoo
[G] Took the Lord of Kansas
[D] But you went west to take the Rockies
[G] When you reached
the coast, your [D] friends were all
wasting their beers
[G] In the mud of the
fair, [D] the grass was
green and empty
[G] You had a nurse to call me
[A] But she couldn't be [D] surprised
[A] You got a
bus, and [D] a
pack of wooden ploughies
[G] You got a pinball
shop, but [D] you couldn't quite fly
[Am] To me, you were
running [D] over you
_ [Am] One thing that they
told you [D] is true
_ But it [G] ain't true
_ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ [G] Then you thought you'd venture
down into [D] the San Francisco
_ You drifted
a brick stone up the _
Monterey
_ [G] Through the Golden
Gates, [D] and across the Leo, [G] and
a Vancouver Island
[D] must have been so far away
_ _ _ _ [C] _
[G] _ _ _ [D] away
Then you catch yourself up
in the latest
eastern fashion, got on
a plane to LA
into the Johnson Walk of
Man, _ [G] ended up on
40 yards, [D] and came in
from Greater Brooklyn
_ [G] Chamber showed only
long [D] enough to get
a meager [Am] six
Still, you haven't found
what's [D] really you
_ [Am] And I wonder
when your lovey [D] will be through
_ [Am] or your _ lovey
[G] be through
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ Oh, what a [A] day! _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [D]
These are all folk songs, if
you know them, join in with me
Please do. _
If you've
never heard the song before, you can wait for
a person's chorus to drift by
I love your confidence, brother
I like the way
that your hair falls away
when at night [D#] they bring
the candle [Em] to you
_ [A] I like to stare
as you come down
the stairs, [Em] and the light
of [A] the landing [D] shines through
How many points
[Bm] will it [D] take to believe
that all of us has [Em] finally gone
[A] The weather has grown colder
We both grow older
It's hard to
believe we're still one
_ [G] _ Let's [D] dance
a little dance once more
[Em] The sun will soon [F#m] be gone
_ [G] I'll dance
another, do me a
favor, drag [Em] the block
up the door
[D] Let's dance a little dance once [D] more
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ From on your route, you kept your feet on the ground
Watch me act
in a proud way, [Em] fool _
[E] Sure, we were kids, but we've grown now
We've got [A] kids of our own now We've raised
an old golden [D] rule
_ [D] _ Somehow it [F#m] seems
[Bm] that a few
of [D] our dreams got
discarded somewhere down [Em] the road
Now _ [A] that it's true
you found in the [A] blue
of your eyes, it tells
us that it's purple [D] and gold
_ _ [G]
Let's dance
[D] a little dance once more
[Em] The sun will soon [F#m] be gone
_ [G] I'll dance
another, [F#m] do me a favor, [Em] drag
the block up the door
[A] See _
[G] _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ [D] _ _ _ [A] _
_ [D] how the
frost fingers [C#] come
With a flick of [D] his tongue
he turned our windows [D#] into
rhinos on [Em] earth
[A] As we sit around the fire
we have no need to inquire
into the ways of the sorrowful emperor
_ [Bm] _ [D] The years have
passed us [C#m] by like [Bm] a soft
whispered [D] sigh, hardly
noticing [D#] youth, the way it [Em] flew
Yet it's easy to [A] tell
that you're where you age well
You're not trying
to prove you're still [D] you Oh, [G] let's dance
[D] a little dance once more
[Em] The silver moon will soon
[F#m] be on the old golden [G] floor
I'll dance [F#m] another, do me
a favor, [Em] drag the block
up the door
_ [A] _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ [D] _ _ [F#m] _
[Em] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ [A] _ _ Dance you once more
[A] _
_ [Bm] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ [A] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
Yes
[D] _ _ _ _ _ [N] _
