CAROLE KING

01-BEAUTIFUL – C1 Si m
Carole King

You've got to get up every morning
with a smile on your face
And show the world
all the love in your heart
Then people gonna treat you better
You're gonna find, yes, you will
That you're beautiful
as you feel

Waiting at the station with a workday wind a-blowing
I've got nothing to do but watch the passers-by
Mirrored in their faces I see frustration growing
And they don't see it showing, why do I?

You've got to get up every morning
with a smile on your face
And show the world
all the love in your heart
Then people gonna treat you better
You're gonna find, yes, you will
That you're beautiful
as you feel

 

I have often asked myself the reason for sadness
In a world where tears are just a lullaby
If there's any answer, maybe love can end the madness
Maybe not, oh, but we can only try

You've got to get up every morning

with a smile on your face
And show the world

all the love in your heart
Then people gonna treat you better
You're gonna find, yes, you will
That you're beautiful

as you feel

02-BROTHER, BROTHER – C1 Re M

Carole King

 

Oh, brother, brother, brother

I know you've been layin’ back a long time

But I love you like no other

Oh, brother

 

I've been watching everything you do

And I've been wishing only good for you

All you've got to do is just want it to

And it's gonna - it's gonna come to you

 

Oh, brother, brother, brother

I know you've been hangin' on a long time

But I love you like no other

Oh, brother of mine

 

You have always been so good to me

And though you didn't always talk to me

There wasn't much my lovin' eyes could not see

and I don't believe you need all your misery

 

Oh, brother, brother, brother

I know you've been hangin' on a long time

You know I love you like no other

 

Oh, brother, brother, brother

Talkin' about you, brother…

03-I FEEL THE EARTH MOVE – C1 Si m
Carole King

I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down
I feel my heart start to trembling
Whenever you're around

Ooh, baby, when I see your face
Mellow as the month of May
Oh, darling, I can't stand it
When you look at me that way

I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down
I feel my heart start to trembling
Whenever you're around

Oh, darling, when you're near me
And you tenderly call my name
I know that my emotions
Are something I just can't tame
I've just got to have you, baby

 

I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down


I just lose control
Down to my very soul
I get a hot and cold all over


I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down,
Tumbling down, tumbling down...

04-IT'S TOO LATE – La m
Carole King

Stayed in bed all morning
just to pass the time
There's something wrong here,
there can be no denying
One of us is changing,
or maybe we've stopped trying

And it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it, oooh

It used to be so easy
living here with you
You were light and breezy
and I knew just what to do
Now you look so unhappy,
and I feel like a fool

And it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it, oooh no…
---guitar break---

 

There'll be good times

again for me and you
But we just can't stay together,

don't you feel it too
Still I'm glad for what we had,

and how I once loved you

But it's too late, baby, it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide

05-YOU'VE GOT A FRIEND – C1 Mi m
Carole King

When you're down in troubles
And you need some love and care
And nothing, nothing is going right

Close your eyes and think of me
And soon i will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again

Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you got to do is call
And I'll be there. Yes I will
You've got a friend

If the sky above you
Grows dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind begins to blow
Keep your head together
And call my name out loud
Soon you'll hear me knocking at your door

 

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again


Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
Ain't it good to know that you've got a friend

When people can be so cold
They'll hurt you and desert you
And take your soul if you let them
Oh, but don't you let them

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there You've got a friend

06-SMACKWATER JACK – Re M
Carole King

Now Smackwater Jack, he bought a shotgun
'Cause he was in the mood for a little confrontation
He just let it all hang loose
He didn't think about the noose
He couldn't take no more abuse
So he shot down the congregation

You can't talk to a man
With a shotgun in his hand
Shotgun

Now Big Jim the chief stood for law and order
He called for the guard to come and surround the border
Now from his bulldog mouth
As he led the posse south
Came the cry, we got to ride
Clean up the streets for our wives and our daughters

You can't talk to a man
When he don't want to understand
No, no, no, no, no, no

 

The account of the capture wasn't in the papers
But you know, they hanged ole Smack right then instead of later
You know the people were quite pleased
'Cause the outlaw had been seized
And on the whole, it was a very good year
For the undertaker

You know, you know, you can't talk to a man
With a shotgun in his hand
Shotgun in his hand


Smackwater Jack, yeah
Smackwater Jack bought a shotgun
Yeah, Smackwater Jack bought a shotgun
Smackwater Jack, yeah
Smackwater Jack, yeah

Talkin' about Smackwater Jack, yeah
Talkin' about Smackwater Jack, oh
Talkin' about Jack and his shotgun,
Talkin' about Smack, talkin' about Jack
Smackwater Jack, yeah

 

07- SO FAR AWAY – Re M
Carole King

So far away
Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
Doesn't help to know
you're just time away

Long ago
I reached for you and there you stood
Holding you again could only do me good
Oh, how I wish I could
But you're so far away

One more song about moving along the highway
Can't say much of anything that's new
If I could only work this life out my way
I'd rather spend it being close to you

But you're so far away
Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
Doesn't help to know
you're so far away
Yeeeeh, you’re so far away

 

Traveling around sure gets me down and lonely
Nothing else to do but close my mind
I sure hope the road don't come to own me
There's so many dreams I've yet to find

But you're so far away
Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
Doesn't help to know

you're so far away

08-WHERE YOU LEAD – Sol M
Carole King

Wanting you the way I do
I only want to be with you
And I would go to the ends of the earth
'Cause, darling, to me that's what you're worth

Where you lead, I will follow
Anywhere that you tell me to
If you need, you need me to be with you
I will follow where you lead

If you're out on the road
Feeling lonely and so cold
All you have to do is call my name
And I'll be there on the next train

Where you lead, I will follow
Anywhere that you tell me to
If you need, you need me to be with you
I will follow where you lead

 

I always wanted a real home

with flowers on the window sill
But if you want to live in New York City,

honey, you know I will


I never thought I could get satisfaction

 from just one man
But, if anyone could keep me happy,

you're the one who can

And where you lead, I will follow
Anywhere that you tell me to
If you need, you need me to be with you
I will follow where you lead

09-JAZZMAN – Do M7

Carole King

 

Lift me, won't you lift me

Above the old routine

Make it nice, play it clean

Jazzman

 

When the jazzman's testifyin'

A faithless man believes

He can sing you into paradise

Or bring you to your knees

 

It's a gospel kind of feelin'

A touch of Georgia slide

A song of pure revival

And a style that's sanctified

 

Jazzman, take my blues away

Make my pain the same as yours

With every change you play

Jazzman, oh, jazzman

 

When the jazzman's signifyin'

And the band is windin' low

It's the late night side of morning

In the darkness of his soul

 

He can fill the room with sadness

As he fills his horn with tears

He can cry like a fallen angel

When risin' time is near

 

Jazzman, take my blues away

Make my pain the same as yours

With every change you play

 

Oh, lift me, won't you lift me

With every turnaround

Play it sweetly, take me down

Oh, jazzman

10-CRYING IN THE RAIN – Mi M

Carole King

 

I'll never let you see

The way my broken heart is hurting me

I've got my pride and I know how to hide

All my sorrow and pain

I'll do my crying in the rain

 

If I wait for cloudy skies

You won't know the rain

from the tears in my eyes

You'll never know that I still love you so

Though the heartaches remain

I'll do my crying in the rain

 

Raindrops falling from heaven

Could never wash away my misery

But since we're not together

I look for stormy weather

To hide the tears I hope you'll never see

 

Someday when my crying's done

I'm gonna wear a smile and walk in the sun

I may be a fool, but till then, darling, you'll

Never see me complain

 

I'll do my crying in the rain

I'll do my crying in the rain
