1. Little Ann

Little Ann’s in the kitchen in her modern gown
With the rainy weather coming down
Oh the radio does play
I could sweep you off your feet
But you’re too teary eyed to even know

Little Ann, Little Ann let that stormy weather go
From your front door to the hall, she covered

Oh the lightning and the thunder
Are rolling in the sky
Coming down just like your teary eyes
Oh Annie don’t you cry
If youre crying for me, when you’re gone I’ll find some company

Little Ann, Little Ann let that stormy weather go
From your front door to the hall, she covered
Little Ann, Little Ann let that stormy weather go
From your troubled mind to the heart she covered


2. Greatest Show On Earth

Capo 3

Am
I'm in the lobby of the motel eight
Dm
Waitin' on my lovely date
F G
Her name is Doris Day

Am
I'm in a suit of burgundy
Dm
There's a deer head lookin' at me
F G
It's blowing my mi-nd away

C F C
Everyone knows she's the killin' kind
F G
She keeps her .38 Smith & Wesson at her side
C F
Put your pistol in your pants,
G C
Cause we're going out to dance
Am G
Where the water drinks like cherry wine

3. Frankie’s Gun!
F My car goes C Chicago Bb every weekend to pick up some cargo
I think I know the bloody way by now Frankie turn the goddam radio down, thank you
Pull over count the money but don't count the thirty in the glove box buddy
F that's for to C buy Lucille some Bb clothes

Bang bang F bang went Frankies Bb gun
He shot me C down LucilleBb
Bang bang F bang went Frankies Bb gun
He shot me C down Lucille Bb
he shot me F down (he shot me Bb down) C Bb

Workzones double fines don't pass the double lines
trailer McDonalds rest-stop trailer double wind
I saw a man hit my mom one time, really
I hurt him so damn bad I had to hide in jersey
caught my mom told her in the dresser
there's ten or twenty dollars but there ain't no lesser
That's for to take my sister to the picture show

Bang bang bang went Frankies gun
He shot me down Lucille
Bang bang bang went Frankies gun
He shot me down Lucille
he shot me down (he shot me down)

Sha na na

Spit, make a fender shine, Frankie a friend of mine
got me off a bender after long legged Brenda died
I thought we might be on a roll this time, Frankie
I could have swore the box at Hollywood glanced but
if y'see my mama please tell her
I left a little rock in a box in the cellar
that's for to wear til Kingdom Come

Bang bang bang went Frankies gun
He shot me down Lucille
Bang bang bang went Frankies gun
He shot me down Lucille
he shot me down (he shot me down)

Sha na na

5. Wonderful Life

Capo 5

Chords relative to capo:

C -- 01023x
G -- 300023
Em -- 000220
D -- 2320xx

Intro: C G C G C G Em D G
***you will want to hammer the 4th string on the C-chords and hammer and pull off into G***

G Every Sunday morning I wake up
C I see you by your dresser doing your G make-up
Fluttering a Chinese Em fan in a Knoxville fashion
G All last night you tossed and turned
C Your body was hotter than the night that Richmond G burned
You say you had a bad nightmare Em about tractor trailers crashing

C Throw your arms around me G
G Let's keep this quiet
C Hear our hearts in the distance G like cannon fire
C See our breath in the window, G in the turning light
Em Oh it's a D wonderful G life

G You say you were only seventeen when
C You fell in love with that dirty Reverend G Green
I remember you at the baptism Em as he held his daughter down
G We could hear Thelma and Louise
C Making love under the poplar G trees
We could hear some screaming, Em sounded like a slaughterhouse

C Throw your arms around me G
G Let's keep this quiet
C Hear our hearts in the distance G like cannon fire
C See our breath in the window, G in the siren light
Em Oh it's a D wonderful G life

G Me and Joey started a fire in the road
C Just to watch it glow
G His father didn't like it though, Em he gave Joey a black eye
G Me and you we did the same damn thing
C We fell in love knowing the pain it would G bring
Now all I do is sing sad songs Em with red eyes

C Throw your arms around me G
G Let's keep this quiet
C Hear our hearts in the distance G like cannon fire
C See our breath in the window, G in the turning light
Em Oh it's a D wonderful G life



6. Don’t Wake The Scarecrow


D
Would you love me
Bm
if I told you I was born upstream?
G
If I told you I come from money?
white money
D
would you love me?
would you love me?

Well I was born down
by a bad little river
in a poor town
where an indian giver
would leave the board out
it said boarding house
call him Scarecrow
he kept whores around

And I'd go there
I'd wait my turn on the broken stairs
And give me the girl with the golden hair
oh yeah
Leave your clothes there
on the folding chair
and in that cold room,
your breath would twist
just like ghosts do
You said call me Dorothy in red shoes
And the bed moved
The bed moved

G A D
Oh Tracy don't you wake that scarecrow tonight

well the men would come in
It's hard living right
getting ahead
when the sad days of winter have set in
and the medicine
for a mannequin
is heroin

I'd find you there in the bath
we'd cook up your shit in a tin can
and you started calling me tin man
and we made plans
to begin again
begin again
you saved the C note
told me you felt like a sea gull
told me to meet at the depot
with the needles
and baby we'd go
to Reno

where you'd be my desert dove
and we'd find a way to make better love
said baby that's how the west was won
in the blood red sun yeah
the blood red sun
in the blood red...

G A D
Tracy don;t you wake that Scarecrow tonight

(Break)

Well the man cries
who gives a damn when a tramp dies
but I loved you there in the lamplight
with your bare thighs
and the halo
of your hairline
and all my life long
I'll never shake off your silent song
and all of your talk about dying young
with an iron lung
and that crazy way
you said son
G A D
I think I might stay here w' Scarecrow tonight
Son I think I'm gonna stay here w' Scarecrow tonight

7. Take This Bread


The verses and chorus are all the same

G Take this bread D if you need it friend
G cause im alright if youre alright C
G Aint got alot but what i C got youre welcome to it
G cause im alright if youre alright C


8. Saint Stephen’s End
9. Love Me Tenderly

Verse: D D7 G A7

Chorus: G A7 D D7 G A7 D

And the "bottle of scotch" part is the same as the chorus. That's pretty much it!

10. Ruby Mae
11. Murder By Mistletoe

The intro thing. He also plays it through every G to C verse.
G----------------------C
|----------------------------------|
|----3-1-0-1-3-0----1-----------|
|----0-0-0-0-0-0-----------------|
|------------------------2------------|
|------------------------3------------|
|-3--3-3-3-3-3-3----------------|

G C
I'll call my carrier pigeons home
G C
From a window where I stand alone
G C
I'll draw the blinds and fall asleep
G C
In an attic full of make-believe
Am G C
Where carolers sing below
Am G C
With bells in the falling snow
Am G C
Their shadows against the white
Am D7 G
On streets of electric light

G C
At the bar I'll watch the news awhile
G C
Just to see the anchor woman smile
G C
On a stage I'll sing an Elvis song
G C
Just to hear the barmaids sing along
Am G C
Mirrors and razor blades
Am G C
Christmas eve parades
Am G C
A murder by mistletoe
Am D7 G
Drunks in the falling snow

G C
She left him by the night arcade
And turned his heart into a spade
He turned that lovely blue eyed Jane
To a homicide on Campbell Lane
Am G C
Hearing the sirens croon
In a familiar room
Laying with last year's love
Am D7 G
High as the moon above

12. Whiskey In My Whiskey
13. Helen Fry

Bass Riff

G|--------5-7-4-5-|------7-----------|

E|-------------------|-------------------|

Guitar:
Capo on 3

Am Helen Fry, Dm she's a E master of Am disguise
Am Six foot two, Dm hair of E blonde, eyes Am of blue
Am She, she seems to think, Dm that the devil's dressed Am in pink,
Am But I can't Dm gracefully Am agree
Oh, Dm stormy Russian, E stay a while with me Am

Houston Doll, there's a Russian in in your car
I can't be sure, I think I seen that Russian man before
Oh he, he seems to believe, that love is all you need
How could I ever take his place?
Oh, stormy Russian, won't you look me in the face?

Aunt Louise, there's a doctor in the trees
A stethoscope, bitter lies the hangman's rope
Oh he, he seems to know, somethin' I don't know
Concernin' my lover's whereabouts
Oh, stormy doctor, everybody has their doubts

Helen Fry, she's a master of disguise

14. Radio Song
E Anna Bell, the dying A leaves are dancing off the E trees
They got an easy B way
E Lets you and me go dancing A too and wreck our dancing E shoes
Hey hey B hey

E Please don't you ever A die, you ever E die, you ever B die
E Move me all of my A life, all of my E life, all of my B life
E Hum our radio A song, radio E song, radio B song
after E every radio's A gone, radio's E gone, radio's B gone

Anna Bell, the dying stars are falling down on us
They got an easy way
Let's you and me go falling too, way out into the blue
Hey hey hey

Please don't you ever die
Move me all of my life
Hum our radio song
after every radio's gone

15. Tip Your Way

Here are the lyrics:

Little Ann’s in the kitchen in her modern gown
With the rainy weather coming down
Oh the radio does play
I could sweep you off your feet
But you’re too teary eyed to even know

Little Ann, Little Ann let that stormy weather go
From your front door to the hall, she covered

Oh the lightning and the thunder
Are rolling in the sky
Coming down just like your teary eyes
Oh Annie don’t you cry
If youre crying for me, when you’re gone I’ll find some company

Little Ann, Little Ann let that stormy weather go
From your front door to the hall, she covered
Little Ann, Little Ann let that stormy weather go
From your troubled mind to the heart she covered

Hi Gumbo, many thanks for that - I see Itrainmonkeys has posted the lyrics. I'll give it a go. Apologies for the delayed response, I posted my query months ago and I'd given up hope of anyone responding, so thanks again!
