I'm sittin' in the window of a street cafe

Watchin' you walking by each day

It seems that you always wanna look my way
em-f-------dm--------------b#--g#
Hey, you can't deny, boy
----------------am
You're such a shy boy

So good looking you seem to be
But you're too tongue-tied to say hi to me
You could make it happen so easily
Woah, I'll tell you why boy
cos i'm looking for a shy boy

Most guys advertise

By making eyes and telling lies
-f--em----g---am
If you only knew
dm-------------------------------------e
You could make your dreams come true
--dm-----------------e
All you gotta do is ask me to

If this was a quiz on a tv show
And the prize was a guy who would love me so
Whatever they ask, the answer i know
Hey, my reply boy
Is gimme a shy boy

Most guys advertise
By making eyes and telling lies
If you only knew
You could make your dreams come true
All you gotta do is ask me to

Some guys act a bit too sure
And maybe you're thinkin' that less is more
But honey, you still gotta knock on my door
Hey, just try boy
And you could be my boy

------------dm--------------b#--g#
I'll tell you why boy
am
Cuz I'm looking for a shy boy

Just try boy
You're such a shy boy

Tous Les Animaux Sont Tristes - Ralph McTell Guitar Chords

INTRO--D--C/D--B/D--A/D-
G--------D---C----------D
Tous les animaux sont tristes
C-------------D------G
Apres avoir faire l'amour
G-------------D----------C--------D
Wondering if there was more than this
C-------------------D--------G---[--------F#/G---Em-
Wishing that there could be more-[just a little more. ]
--Asus-Am---D--C/D--B/D--A/D-]

G----------------D-----C---D
Harry bought a little boat
G---------------------D----------C---D
And with his boat he made some money
G---------------------D---------------C---D
His wife bore him a daughter and two sons
G---------------------D---------------C---D
The sun shone and they were never hungry
G-----------------D---------------C---D
He bought more boats, a bigger house
G-----------------D-------C---D
And more ships were his goal
G----------D-----C-----D
But even after making love
G---------------------D------C---D
There was a darkness in his soul.

Chorus

His fortune and his children grew strong
His wife slept sweet contented
He paced the floor till dawn sometimes
Until the night relented
One morning he heard a song bird sing
A song to take his darkness away
And he put a roof over his garden
So that forever it would stay.

Chorus

But the songbird was small and plain
With its heartache healing song
And he tired of the repetition
And wished that it was gone
So he tore the roof from off his garden
But he'd fed the bird and it remained
Till he shot a silver arrow through her heart
And his darkness came again.

Chorus

In time the children forgot
The loss of their singing bird
And the light came back to their garden
As his emptiness returned
So he sailed away in one of his ships
Married a rich widow in America
In photographs they were always smiling
He needed her but did he really love her?

Chorus

Sand in Your Shoes - Ralph McTell Guitar Chords

D-------------------------
Bm----------------------D
You don't so much feel dirty
------Em--------F#/Em---G
You just feel like a fool
G-------------A------D
You were way past thirty
--------------Bm-------------------A
She was hardly out of school
-------Bm------------A
I can understand the way you feel
-------D------------F#/G-----G
Your pride's been somewhat bruised
------G-------Em-------F#/G------G
You cried the dust from out of your eyes
-------------A------------------G
But you've still got sand in your shoes,
A-------------------------D
Got a little sand in your shoes.

Siúil a Rún (Irish Love Song) - Clannad Guitar Chords

Intro --Am----G-Am---F---G--Am---C---Am---G--Am
--F----G---F--Am--F--G--Am
----------Am---------Em---------F

Am----G-Am---F---G--Am
I wish I was on yonder hill
------C--Am-G-Am--F----G
'Tis there I'd sit and cry my fill,
-------F---Am---------F--G-Am
And every tear would turn a mill,
---------Am--------Em-----Am
Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn.

Chorus (in phonetic Gaelic)
Am----G-Am---F---G--Am
Shule, shule, shule aroon,
------C--Am-G-Am--F------G
Shule go succir agus, shule go kewn,
-------F---Am---------F--G-Am
Shule go dheen durrus oggus aylig lume,
---------Am------Em-------F
Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn.

I'll sell my rock, I'll sell my reel,
I'll sell my only spinning wheel,
To buy my love a sword of steel
Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn.

Chorus

I'll dye my petticoats, I'll dye them red,
And 'round the world I'll beg my bread,
Until my parents shall wish me dead,
Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn.

Chorus

I wish, I wish, I wish in vain,
I wish I had my heart again,
And vainly think I'd not complain,
Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn.

Chorus

But now my love has gone to France,
To try his fortune to advance;
If he e'er come back, 'tis but a chance,
Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn.

Chorus

Two Sisters - Clannad guitar chords

I haven't found this anywhere on the internet but I think I have most of it worked out so here it is! In the recording the first verse has just vocals but for simplicity I've put the chords on there. Enjoy!

C--------------------------------- F
There were two sisters side by side
------------C -------------F
Sing aye dum, sing aye day
--------C -------------------------F
There were two sisters side by side
------Am-------G -------F
The boys are born for me
---------------------------G-------C
There were two sisters side by side
---------------------------------Am
The eldest for young johnny cried
G ------C -------F
I'll be true for my love
----G-------------- C
If he'll be true to me

Johnny bought the youngest a gay gold ring...
He never bought the eldest a single thing...

Johnny bought the youngest a beaver hat...
The eldest never thought much of that...

As they were walking by the foamy brim...



The eldest pushed the youngest in...

Sister, oh sister give me thy hand...
And you can have johnny and all his land...

Sister I won't give you my hand...
And i'll have johnny and all his land...

So there she sank and away she swam...
Until she came to the miller's dam...

Miller took away her gay gold ring...
And then he pushed her in again...

Miller he was hanged on the mountain head...
The eldest sister was boiled in lead...
