No Whiskey, No Beer · 11 January 2000
C F C
I walked into the bar, on a Saturday night
G
Thought I’d order a beer, then she came into sight
C F C
Told the bartender, I know that I’m sure
F C G C
Pour me what she is drinkin’, and send one to her
Chorus 1:
G C
Started thinkin’, “More whiskey, more beer
G
“Just what we need to have some fun around here
C F C
“Pour the drinks, all night
F G C
“‘Cause that’s what we all need to feel right”
Well, he got out two glasses, and poured us some coke
I just looked at him, he said it was no joke
I still went on over, and sat next to her
A little bit wary, not quite so sure
Chorus 2:
I started thinkin’, “No whiskey, no beer
“What am I gonna do to have some fun around here
“No drinkin’ tonight
“How am I gonna feel right?”
She said thanks for the drinks, now get up and dance
We started two-steppin’, I had not a chance
To miss all the drinkin’, that I would have done
If I hadn’t happened, upon the right one
Chorus 3:
Started thinkin’, “No whiskey, no beer
“I guess I didn’t need it to have fun in here
“Just dancin’ all night
“Is all I need to feel just right”
“Especially if it’s with Missus Right.”
“She’s all I need to feel all right.”

I Knew Him When · 10 January 2000
C G C F C
I had a friend, his name was Rex
G C F C
All he used to think of was his success
F G C Am7 Am Am/G
We used to hang out and just do silly stuff
F G
But when he hit it big, he had enough (of me)
But you know…
Chorus:
F G C Em7 Am Am/G
I knew him/(her) when he/(she) had no fame or fortune
F G C
Most times he/(she) had trouble paying the rent
F G
I knew him/(her) when
C Em7 Am Am/G
He/(she) was the truest of friends
F G
But the money went to his/(her) head
F G
Now he’s/(she’s) got groupies instead of friends
F G
I wish we could just go back
C F C
To way back when
I had a friend, her name was Judy
Even back in high school, she was a beauty
We used to hit the beach almost every day
But then her ship came in and took her far away (from me)
Chorus
Then there was ol’ Joe, he just played his guitar
He really made it big, yes, he went far
I used to watch him play in every dump and dive
But when he became a star, he still had time (for me)
Chorus 2:
I knew him when he had no fame or fortune
Most times he had trouble paying the rent
I knew him when
He was the truest of friends
The money never went to his head
We’re still the closest friends
We don’t even have to go back
To way back when

Doesn’t have to be your birthday

F C
I just gotta say

It doesn’t have to be Christmas
C

It doesn’t need to be a holiday

I gotta say it every day
C G
Honey I just gotta say
C
I love you
Verse:
C
I’m walkin’ out the door on Monday mornin’
G
I wonder whether I gave you a kiss
C
I don’t even hesitate
F
‘Though I know that I’ll be late
C G G C
I give you a kiss to tell you that I love you
Chorus
It’s Wednesday night and I know I’m comin’ home late
You don’t do it any more but you used to get quite irate
Still I stop at the flower shop
To get a single rose that’s all
I write on the little card, “I love you.”
Chorus
Well, it’s Saturday night – date night for two
Got the sitter lined up so it’ll just be me and you
We can just take a walk around the block
Or sit on the front porch and have a talk
Just spendin’ some time with you to tell you I love you.
Chorus
