“God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen”
(Traditional) Arr. by Brian Wilson

Intro:  (Bbm – F) x2

(nc)   Bbm     F        Bbm                F#                   F
God, rest ye merry gentlemen; let nothing you dismay.
Remember Christ our savior was born on Christmas day.

F   Eb        Ab         Bbm                         C#                       Ab
To save us all from satan’s power when we were gone astray…

Ab   C#           Ab              Bbm                    Ab
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy.
Ab  C#            Ab              Bbm
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy.

From God, our heavenly Father, a blessed angel came,
and unto certain shepherds brought tidings of the same.

How that in Bethlehem was born the son of god by name.

Oh, tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy.
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy.

“Fear not, then,” said the angel. “Let nothing you afright.
This day is born a savior of a pure virgin bright

To free all those who trust in Him from satan’s power and might.”

Oh, tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy.
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy.

Instrumental:   (Bb   F   Bb   Eb) x3
Bb   F   Eb

To save us all from satan’s power when we were gone astray…

Oh, tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy.
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy.

Now, the Lord sings praises, all you within this place,
And with true love and brotherhood, each other now embrace.

This holy tide of Christmas that brings redeeming grace…

Oh, tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy.
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy.

God, rest ye merry gentlemen, let nothing you dismay.
Remember Christ our savior was born on Christmas day.

To save us all from satan’s power when we were gone astray…

Oh, tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy.
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy.

Instrumental (and fade…)

“All For You”
Sister Hazel

(Capo 1st fret)

Am        D
Finally I figured out,
But it took a long, long time.
But now there’s a turnabout,
Maybe ’cause I’m trying.

Em                 Am
There’s been times, I’m so confused.
All my roads, they lead to you.
Em            Am                   D
I just can’t turn and walk away…

G               C(add 9)    Am  D        G
It’s hard to say what it is I   see in you,
Wonder if I’ll always be with you.
But words can’t say, and I can’t do
G  C(add 9)   Am           D      G        C(add9) – D – G
Enough to     prove, it’s all for you.

I thought I’d seen it all,
‘Cause it’s been a long, long time.
But then we’ll trip and fall,
Wondering if I’m blind.

There’s been times, I’m so confused.
All my roads, they lead to you.
I just can’t turn and walk away…

It’s hard to say what it is I see in you,
Wonder if I’ll always be with you.
But words can’t say, and I can’t do
Enough to prove, it’s all for you.

MIDDLE:
Am               Em                  Am                     D
Rain comes pouring down, falling from blue skies.
Words without a sound, coming from your eyes…

SOLO:  G  –  C(add 9)  –  Am  –  D  (repeat)

Finally I figured out,
But it took a long, long time.
But now there’s a turnabout,
Maybe ’cause I’m trying.

There’s been times, I’m so confused.
All my roads, they lead to you.
I just can’t turn and walk away…

SING A CAPPELLA:
It’s hard to say what it is I see in you,
Wonder if I’ll always be with you.
But words can’t say, and I can’t do
Enough to prove, it’s all for you.

GUITAR & VOCALS:
It’s hard to say what it is I see in you,
Wonder if I’ll always be with you.
But words can’t say, and I can’t do
Enough to prove, it’s all for you.

G               C(add9)      Am     D
It’s hard to say…
It’s hard to say…
Am  D       G          C(add 9) – D – G
It’s   all for you.

“Indecision” by Steven Page – Chords & How to Play

“Indecision”
Steven Page & Stephen Duffy

Riff: G F C D (x4)

Gm C
I’ve always been a creature of habit,
Am D Gm
But another way I’m addicted to you.
I’m predisposed to have it,
Happiest when I don’t know what to do.
I wanna settle down like my father;
I wanna run away like my mother ought to.

G F C D
Be prepared for indecision; it might make me disappear.
Then again, my addiction to indecision keeps me here.

Riff (x4)

I was born between the tracks.
I left home, I turned around and came back.
One day you and I will be intertwined,
If I can only make up my mind.

Be prepared for indecision; it might make me disappear.
Then again, my addiction to indecision keeps me here.

Riff (x2)

Eb F G
Leave decisions up to fate
Eb F D
Nothing comes to those who wait

Come see the view from on top of the fence.
We’ll watch the world unfold its events.
Some days when I am nearly awake,
I can almost hear the decisions I’ll make.

Be prepared for indecision; it might make me disappear.
Then again, my addiction to indecision keeps me here.
Be prepared for indecision; it might make me disappear.
Then again, my addiction to indecision keeps me here.

Riff (x2)

End on G

“Cornerstone”
Arctic Monkeys

A                                                         D                          Bm
I thought I saw you in The Battleship but it was only a lookalike.
She was nothing but a vision trick under the warning light.
Bm         F#m    A                                     F#m
She was close, close enough to be your ghost,
F#m     A
But my chances turned to toast when I
D                   Bm                        A
asked her if I could call you her name.

I thought I saw you in The Rusty Hook, huddled up in a wicker chair.
I wandered over for a closer look and kissed whoever was sitting there.
She was close and she held me very tightly until I asked awfully politely,
“Please can I call you her name?”

D                           Bm
I elongated my lift home.
F#m                                           D
I let him go the long way round.
Bm                                                        E
I smelt your scent on the seat belt and kept my short cuts to myself.

I thought I saw you in The Parrot’s Beak messing with the smoke alarm.
It was too loud for me to hear her speak and she had a broken arm.
It was close, so close that the walls were wet,
And she wrote it out in Letraset,
D Bm C#m
“No, you can’t call me her name.”

A                                 C#m
Tell me where’s your hiding place?
A                         C#m
I’m worried I’ll forget your face.
F#m
I’ve asked everyone;
Bm                                      E
I’m beginning to think I imagined you all along…

D                           Bm
I elongated my lift home.
F#m                                           D
I let him go the long way round.
Bm                                                        Dm
I smelt your scent on the seat belt and kept my short cuts to myself.

SOLO:  (A      D – Bm) x2
F#m     Bm
D          E

I saw your sister in The Cornerstone on the phone to the middle man.
When I saw that she was on her own I thought she might understand.
She was close, well you couldn’t get much closer;
She said, “I’m really not supposed to,
but yes, you can call me anything you want.”
