CROSBY, STILLS, NASH & YOUNG
01-DARK STAR – La m
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Forgive me if my fantasies
might seem a little shopworn
I'm sure you've heard it all before.
I wonder what's the right form
Love songs written for you,
it's been going down for years
But to sing what's in my heart
seems more honest than the tears.
I am curious, don't want to hurry us.
I'm intrigued with us.
Ain't this song a bust.
I don't care, dark star.
I met you several years ago,
The times they were so strange, but I had a feeling.
You looked into my eyes just once,
An instant flashing by that we were stealing.
Another time you felt so bad,
And I wasn't any help at all as I recall.
We didn't know quite what to do
Still there for me and you.
Dark star, I see you in the morning,
Dark star, a' sleeping next to me.
Dark star, let the memory of the evening
Be the first thing that you think of
When you open up your smile and see me, dark star.
It's easy to be with you
Even with the storms that rage beneath
your search for peace.
We must make some time together
Take the kids and find a world
that's ours to keep.
Now you've got me dreaming girl.
It's been so long that I thought that I'd forgotten how.
My heart is once again my soul.
We touched, we did, you know we did,
no more teasing now.
Dark star, I see you in the morning,
Dark star, a' sleeping next to me.
Dark star, let the memory of the evening
Be the first thing that you think of
When you open up your smile and see me, dark star.
02-CARRY ON – C1 Re M
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
One morning i woke up
and i knew you really gone
a new day, a new way,
i knew i should see it along
go your way, i'll go mine
carry on
the sky is clearing
and the night has gone out
the sun, he come,
the world is all full of light
rejoice, rejoice, we have no choice
we've got to carry on
the fortunes of fables
are able to sing the song
now witness the quickness
with which we get along
to sing the blues
you've got to live the tunes
carry on
carry on
love is coming
love is coming to us all
(Instrumental break)
Where are you going now my love?
where will you be tomorrow?
will you bring me happiness?
will you bring me sorrow?
oh the questions of a thousand dreams
what you do and what you see
lover can you talk
to me?
girl when i was on my own
chasing you down
what was it made you run?
trying your best just to get around.
the questions of a thousand dreams
what you do and what you see
lover can you talk to me?
03-CATHEDRAL – Do# m
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Six o' clock
In the morning I feel pretty good
So I dropped into the luxury of the Lords
Fighting dragons and crossing swords
With the people against the hordes
who came to conquer.
Seven o'clock
In the morning here it comes I taste the warning
And I'm so amazed I'm here today
Seeing things so clear this way
In the car and on my way
to Stonehenge.
[Instrumental (Piano)]
I'm flying in Winchester cathedral
Sunlight pouring through the break of day
Stumbled through the door and into the chamber
There's a lady setting flowers on a table covered lace
And a cleaner in the distance finds a cobweb on a face
And a feeling deep inside of meTells me this can't be
the place
I'm flying in Winchester cathedral
All religion has to have its day
Expressions on the face of the Savior
Made me say…
I can't stay…
Open up the gates of the church and let me out of here
Too many people have lied in the name of Christ
For anyone to heed the call
So many people have died in the name of Christ
That I can't believe it all
Now I'm standing on the grave
of a soldier that died in 1799
And the day he died it was a birthday
And I noticed it was mine
And my head didn't know just who I was
And I went spinning back in time
And I am high upon the altar
High upon the altar, high
I'm flying in Winchester cathedral
It's hard enough to drink the wine
The air inside just hangs in delusion
But given time
I'll be find
04-ALMOST CUT MY HAIR – La m
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Almost cut my hair,
it happened just the other day.
it's getting' kind a long,
i could a said it wasn't in my way.
but i didn't and i wonder why,
i feel like letting my freak flag fly,
cause i feel
like i owe it to someone.
Must be because i had
the flu' for christmas
and i'm not feeling up to par.
it increases my paranoia,
like looking at my mirror and seeing a police car.
but i'm not
giving in an inch to fear
cause i missed myself this year.
i feel like i owe it to someone.
Instrumental break
05-HELPLESS – Do M
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
There is a town in north Ontario,
With dream comfort memory to spare,
And in my mind
I still need a place to go,
All my changes were there.
Blue, blue windows behind the stars,
Yellow moon on the rise,
Big birds flying across the sky,
Throwing shadows on our eyes.
Leave us
Helpless, helpless, helpless
Baby can you hear me now?
The chains are locked
and tied across the door,
Baby, sing with me somehow.
06-LONG TIME GONE – La m
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
It's been a long
time comin'
It's goin' to be a Long
Time gone.
And it appears to be a long,
appears to be a long,
appears to be a long
time, yes, a long, long, long
long time before the dawn.
Turn, turn any corner.
Hear, you must hear what the people say.
You know there's something that's
goin' on around here,
the surely, surely, surely won't
stand the light of day.
And it appears to be a long,
appears to be a long,
appears to be a long
time, yes, a long, long, long
,long time before the dawn.
Speak out, you got to speak out
against the madness,
you got to speak your mind,
if you dare.
But don't no don't now try to
get yourself elected
If you do you had better cut your hair.
`Cause it appears to be a long,
appears to be a long,
appears to be a long,
Time, such a long long long long
time before the dawn.
It's been a long time comin'
It's goin' to be a long time gone.
But you know,
The darkest hour is always
Always just before the dawn.
And it appears to be a long,
appears to be a long,
appears to be a long
Time before the dawn.
07-MARRAKESH EXPRESS – Sol M
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Looking at the world through the sunset in your eyes
Traveling the train through clear Moroccan skies
Ducks and pigs and chickens call
Animal carpet wall to wall
American ladies five-foot tall in blue
Sweeping cobwebs from the edges of my mind
Had to get away to see what we could find
Hope the days that lie ahead
Bring us back to where they've led
Listen not to what's been said to you
Wouldn't you know we're riding
on the Marrakesh Express
Wouldn't you know we're riding
on the Marrakesh Express
They're taking me to Marrakesh
All aboard the train,
all aboard the train
*I've been saving all my money just to take you there
I smell the garden in your hair
Take the train from Casablanca going south
Blowing smoke rings from the corners of my mouth
Colored cottons hang in the air
Charming cobras in the square
Striped djellebas we can wear at home
Well, let me hear you now
Wouldn't you know we're riding
on the Marrakesh Express
Wouldn't you know we're riding
on the Marrakesh Express
They're taking me to Marrakesh
Wouldn't you know we're riding
on the Marrakesh Express
Wouldn't you know we're riding
on the Marrakesh Express
They're taking me to Marrakesh
All on board the train, all on board the train
All on board
[Ending (Electric Guitars)]
08-OUR HOUSE – La M
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
I'll light the fire
you place the flowers in the vase
that you bought today.
staring at the fire
for hours and hours
while i listen to you play your love songs
all night long for me,
only for me.
Come to me now
and rest your head for just five minutes
everything is done
such a cozy room
the windows are illuminated
by the evening sunshine through them
fiery gems for you.
only for you.
Our house
is a very very very fine house
with two cats in the yard
life used to be so hard
now everything is easy, 'cause of you
la, la, la

09-SOUTHERN CROSS – La M
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Got out of town on a boat Goin' to Southern islands.
Sailing a reach Before a followin' sea.
She was makin' for the trades On the outside,
And the downhill run to Papeete.
Off the wind on this heading lie the Marquesas.
We got eighty feet of the waterline. Nicely making way.
In a noisy bar in Avalon I tried to call you.
But on a midnight watch I realized
Why twice you ran away.
Think about how many times I have fallen
Spirits are using me larger voices callin'.
What heaven brought you and me
Cannot be forgotten.
I have been around the world,
Lookin' for that woman/girl,
Who knows love can endure.
And you know it will.
And you know it will.
When you see the Southern Cross For the first time
You understand now Why you came this way
'Cause the truth you might be runnin' from Is so small.
But it's as big as the promise
The promise of a comin' day.
So I'm sailing for tomorrow My dreams are a dyin'.
And my love is an anchor tied to you
Tied with a silver chain.
I have my ship And all her flags are a flyin'
She is all that I have left And music is her name.
Think about how many times I have fallen
I have been around the world, And you know it will. And you know it will.
So we cheated and we lied And we tested At the Southern Cross. |
10-WASTED ON THE WAY – Re M
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Intro. (Acoustic Guitar and Electric Piano)]
Look around me
I can see my life before me
Running rings around the way
it used to be.
I am older now
I have more than what I wanted
But I wish that I had started
long before I did.
And there's so much time to make up
everywhere you turn
Time we have wasted on the way
So much water moving
underneath the bridge
Let the water come and carry us away.
[Instrumental (Fiddle)]
Oh, when you were young
Did you question all the answers
Did you envy all the dancers
who had all the nerve
Look around you know
You must go for what you wanted
Look at all my friends who did
and got what they deserved
So much time to make up
everywhere you turn
Time we have wasted on the way
So much water moving
underneath the bridge
Let the water come and carry us away
So much love to make up
everywhere you turn
Love we have wasted on the way
So much water moving
underneath the bridge
Let the water come and carry us away
Let the water come and carry us away
11-WOODSTOCK – Sol m
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Well i came across a child of god
he was walking along the road and i
asked him tell where are you going
this he told me
well i am going down to Yasgur's farm
going to join in a rock and roll band
goin' to get back to the land
to set my soul free
we are stardust, we are golden
we are 2 billion year old carbon
and we got to get ourselves
back to the garden
well then can i walk beside you
i have come to lose the smog
and i feel like i'm a cog
in something turning
and maybe it's the time of year
yes and maybe it's the time of man
and i don't know who i am
but life is for learning
we are stardust, we are golden
we are 2 billion year old carbon
and we got to get ourselves
back to the garden (bis)
by the time we got to Woodstock
we were half a million strong
and everywhere there was song and celebration
and i dreamed i saw the bombers jet planes
riding shotgun in the sky
turning into butterflies
above our nation.
we are stardust, we are golden
we are 2 billion year old carbon
and we got to get ourselves
back to the garden

13-SOUTHERN MAN – Re m
Neil Young
Southern man
Better keep your head
Don't forget
What your good book said
Southern change
Gonna come at last
Now your crosses
Are burning fast
Southern man
I saw cotton
And I saw black
Tall white mansions
And little shacks.
Southern man
When will you
Pay them back?
I heard screamin'
And bullwhips cracking
How long? How long?
---guitar break---
Southern man
Better keep your head
Don't forget
What your good book said
Southern change
Gonna come at last
Now your crosses
Are burning fast
Southern man
Lily Belle,
Your hair is golden brown
I've seen your black man
Comin' round
Swear by God
I'm gonna
cut him down!
I heard screamin'
And bullwhips cracking
How long? How long?
14-COLD RAIN – La m
Crosby, Stills & Nash
Cold rain
down on my face
Buses hurry on
Work's out
here comes the race
People heading home
Wait a second,
don't I know you?
Haven't I seen you somewhere before?
You seem to be like someone I knew
Yes, he lived here but he left
When he thought that there was more
Than cold rain
and nowhere to go
Many people share
Sad dreams
and hopes that are stained
sulphur in the air
15-MY MY, HEY HEY – C1 Fa#m
Neil Young
My my, hey hey
Rock and roll is here to stay
It's better to burn out
Than to fade away
My my, hey hey.
Out of the blue and into the black
They give you this, but you pay for that
And once you're gone, you can
never come back
When you're
out of the blue and into the black.
---harmonica break---
The king is gone but he's not forgotten
This is the story of Johnny Rotten
16-TELL ME WHY – Sib M
Neil Young
Sailing heart-ships thru
broken harbors
Out on the waves in the night
Still the searcher must
ride the dark horse
Racing alone in his fright.
Tell me why, tell me why
Is it hard to make
arrangements with yourself,
When you're old enough to repay
but young enough to sell?
Tell me lies later,
come and see me
I'll be around for a while.
I am lonely but
you can free me
All in the way that you smile
17-TEACH YOUR CHILDREN – Re M
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
You who are on the road
must have a code
that you can live by
and so become yourself
because the past
is just a good bye.
teach your children well,
their father's hell
did slowly go by,
and feed them on your dreams
the one they picks,
the one you'll know by.
don't you ever ask them why,
if they told you, you will cry,
so just look at them and sigh…
and know they love you.
And you, of tender years,
can't know the fears
that your elders grew by,
and so please help
them with your youth,
they seek the truth
before they can die.
teach your parents well,
their children's hell
will slowly go by,
and feed them on your dreams
the one they picks,
the one you'll know by.
don't you ever ask them why,
if they told you, you will cry,
so just look at them and sigh
and know they love you
18-SHADOW CAPTAIN – Mi M
Crosby, Stills & Nash
[Intro. (Slide Guitar and Piano)]
Oh, captain what are we hiding from?
You've been hiding from the start
Did some lover steal your heart
Or did the full moon make you mad?
Oh, captain why these speechless seas
That never come to land?
Oh, I need to understand
Could a little light be that bad?
[Instrumental (Piano)]
I can see your hands are roughened
By the wheel and the rope
I'd like to look to you for hope
I think it's hiding there
This boat is blacked out like a city
Awaiting bombers in the night
Oh, you hold your helm so tight
And yet the sky seems so fair
*Who guides this ship
Dreaming through the seas
Turning and searching
Whichever way you please?
Speak to me
I need to see your face
Shadowy captain…
In a darkened space
[Instrumental (Piano)]
If I were to spy a city
Floating just above the sea
Could we stop and look for me
Among those playing on the pier?
Or would you turn away knowing
It was still a ways away
And if I was there today
You could not see me all that clear
Who guides this ship
Dreaming through the seas
Turning and searching
Whichever way you please?
Speak to me
I need to see your face
Shadowy captain
In a darkened space
[Instrumental (Piano)]
Shadow captain of a charcoal ship
Shadow captain of a charcoal ship
Trying to give the light the slip
[Ending (Piano)]
19-CHICAGO – La m
Graham Nash
So your brother's bound and gagged
and they chained him to a chair
Won't you please come to Chicago
just to sing
In a land that's known as freedom,
how can such a thing be fair?
Won't you please come to Chicago
for the help that we can bring
We can change the World
Rearrange the World
It's dying....
to get better
Politicians sit yourselves down,
there's nothing for you here
Won't you please come to Chicago
for a ride
Don't ask Jack to help you
cause he'll turn the other ear
Won't you please come to Chicago
We can change (yes we can change) the World
Rearrange (rearrange) the World
It's dying (do you believe in justice?)
It's dying (and if you believe in freedom)
It's dying (Let a man live his own life)
It's dying (Rules and regulations who needs them?)
Open up the door
Somehow people must be free,
I hope the day comes soon
Won't you please come to Chicago,
to show you face
From the bottom of the ocean,
to the mountains of the Moon
Won't you please come to Chicago,
Tomado de AlbumCancionYLetra.com
We can change (yes we can change) the World

It's dying (Rules and regulations who needs them?)

20-PRISON SONG – C1 Si m
Graham Nash
One day a friend took me aside
and said i have to leave you
for buying something from a friend
they say i've done wrong
for protecting the name of a man
they say i'll have to leave you,
so now i'm bidding you farewell
for much too long.
and here's a song to sing,
for every man inside,
if he can hear you sing
it's an open door.
there's not a rich man there,
who couldn't pay his way
and buy the freedom
that's a high price for the poor.
Kids in texas
smoking grass,
ten year sentence
comes to pass
misdemeanor
in ann arbor,
ask the judges
why?
One day a friend said to her kids
i'm gonna have to leave you
for selling something to the man
i guess i did wrong
and although i did the best i could
i'm gonna have to leave you
so now i'm kissing you farewell
for much too long.
and here's a song to sing,
for every man inside
if he can hear you sing
it's an open door.
there's not a rich man there
who couldn't pay his way
and buy the freedom that's a high price
for the poor
21-SUITE JUDY BLUE EYES – Mi M
Crosby, Stills & Nash
It's getting to the point
Where I'm no fun anymore
I am sorry
Sometimes it hurts
so badly I must cry out loud
I am lonely
I am yours, you are mine
You are what you are…
You make it hard
Remember what we've said
and done
and felt About each other
Oh babe, have mercy
Don't let the past
remind us of What
we are not now
I am not dreamin'
I am yours, you are mine
You are what you are...
You make it hard*
Tearin' yourself
away from me now
You are free
and I am crying
This does not mean
I don't love you I do,
that's forever
Yes and for always
I am yours, you are mine
You are what you are...
You make it hard
Something inside
is telling me that
I've got your secret
Are you still listening?
Fear is the lock
And laughter the key
to your heart
And I love you
And you make it hard
And you make it hard
*Friday evenin',
Sunday in the afternoon
What have you got to lose…?
Tuesday mornin',
please be gone, I'm tired of you
What have you got to lose?
*Can I tell it like it is?
(Help me I'm suffering)
Listen to me baby
It's my heart that's a suffering It's a dying,
(Help me I'm dying)
that's what I have to lose
I've got an answer
I'm going to fly away
What have I got to lose?
Will you come see me
Thursdays and Saturdays?
(Baby baby baby)
What have you got to lose?
Sitar break
Chestnut brown canary
Ruby throated sparrow
Sing the song, don't be long
Thrill me to the marrow…
Voices of the angels,
ring around the moonlight
Asking me, said she so free
How can you catch the sparrow?
Lacy, lilting, lyric,
losing love, lamenting
Change my life,
make it right
Be my lady
Turururu, tu tu turururu…
22-FAIR GAME – Sol m
Crosby, Stills & Nash
Take a look around you
tell me if you see
A girl who thinks she's ordinary lookin'
she has got the key
If you can get close enough
to look into her eyes
There's something special right behind
the bitterness she hides
And you're fair game
You'll never know what she'll decide
You're fair game
Just relax enjoy the ride
Find a way to reach her
make yourself a fool
But do it with a little class
disregard the rules
'Cause this one knows the bottom line
couldn't get a date
The ugly duckling striking back
and she'll decide her fate
And you're fair game
You'll never know what she'll decide
You're fair game
Just relax enjoy the ride
The ones you never notice
are the ones you have to watch
She's pleasant and she's friendly
while she's looking at your crotch
And try your hand at conversation
gossip is a lie
And sure enough she'll take you home
and make you wanna die
You're fair game
You'll never know what she'll decide
You're fair game
Just relax enjoy the ride
23-TURN YOU BACK ON LOVE – Re m
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Is this a prison
Or do you call it love?
You will know for certain someday
It'll never be tough enough
When love is hidden
It is below above
And you know when you run away
You turn your back on love
Lonely days and lonely nights
Will we ever get it right
Don't be blinded by the light
Turn your back on love no, no
You're dying to prove
That you are never wrong
You're so right you'd rather be sad
But you won't go along
You built a wall, didn't ya
'Round what you're thinking of
Never mind what anyone says
You're turning your back on love
Lonely days and lonely nights
Will we ever get it right
Don't be blinded by the light
Turn, turn, turn
Would you turn your back on love
[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]
Aaah ... aaah ...
Isn't it my life
Tell me what else it is
You can do whatever you want
If you will take a risk
When is it my love
How will you handle it to wit
There are two whenever we are
If you can hear the kiss
If you believe it
Love is quite strong enough
Be together honest and free
No turning back on love
Lonely days and lonely nights
Will we ever get it right
Don't be blinded by the light
Turn your back on love …24-FOR WATH IT’S WORTH – Mi M
Buffalo Springfield
There's somethin' happenin' here.
What it is ain't exactly clear.
There's a man with a gun over there
A-tellin' me I've got to beware.
I think it's time we stop.
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's goin' down.
There's battle lines bein' drawn.
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong.
Young people speakin' their minds
A-gettin' so much resistance from behind.
I think it's time we stop.
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's goin' down.
What a field day for the heat.
A thousand people in the street
Singin' songs and a-carryin' signs
Mostly sayin' hooray for our side.
