Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

[Verse 1]

When are you gonna come down?

When are you going to land?

I should have stayed on the farm

I should have listened to my old man

You know you can’t hold me forever

I didn’t sign up with you

I’m not a present for your friends to open

This boy’s too young to be singing the blues

[Refrain]

Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah, ah

[Chorus]

So goodbye yellow brick road

Where the dogs of society howl

You can’t plant me in your penthouse

I’m going back to my plough

Back to the howling old owl in the woods

Hunting the horny-back toad

Oh, I’ve finally decided my future lies

Beyond the yellow brick road

[Refrain]

Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah, ah

[Verse 2]

What do you think you’ll do, then?

I bet they’ll shoot down the plane

It’ll take you a couple of vodka and tonics

To set you on your feet again

Maybe you’ll get a replacement

There’s plenty like me to be found

Mongrels who ain’t got a penny

Sniffing for tidbits like you

on the ground

[Refrain]

Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah, ah

[Chorus]

So goodbye yellow brick road

Where the dogs of society howl

You can’t plant me in your penthouse

I’m going back to my plough

Back to the howling old owl in the woods

Hunting the horny-back toad

Oh, I’ve finally decided my future lies

Beyond the yellow brick road

[Refrain]

Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah, ah

Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me

[Verse 1]

I can’t light no more of your darkness

All my pictures seem to fade to black and white

I’m growin’ tired, and time stands still before me

Frozen here on the ladder of my life

[Verse 2]

Too late to save myself from falling

I took a chance and changed your way of life

But you misread my meanin’ when I met you

Closed the door and left me blinded by the light

[Chorus]

Don’t let the sun go down on me

Although I search myself, it’s always someone else I see

I’d just allow a fragment of your life to wander free

But losin’ everything is like the sun goin’ down on me

[Verse 3]

I can’t find, oh, the right romantic line

But see me once and see the way I feel

Don’t discard me just because you think I mean you harm

But these cuts I have, oh, they need love to help them heal

[Chorus]

Don’t let the sun go down on me

Although I search myself, it’s always someone else I see

I’d just allow a fragment of your life to wander free

But losin’ everything is like the sun goin’ down on me

[Chorus]

Don’t let the sun go down on me

Although I search myself, it’s always someone else I see

I’d just allow a fragment of your life to wander free, yeah

But losin’ everything is like the sun goin’ down on me

We Are the Champions

[Verse 1]

I’ve paid my dues

Time after time

I’ve done my sentence

But committed no crime

And bad mistakes

I’ve made a few

I’ve had my share of sand kicked in my face

But I’ve come through

(And I need to go on and on, and on, and on)

[Chorus]

We are the champions, my friends

And we’ll keep on fighting ’til the end

We are the champions

We are the champions

No time for losers

‘Cause we are the champions

Of the world

[Verse 2]

I’ve taken my bows

And my curtain calls

You brought me fame and fortune and everything that goes with it

I thank you all

But it’s been no bed of roses

No pleasure cruise

I consider it a challenge before the whole human race

And I ain’t gonna lose

(And I need to go on and on, and on, and on)

[Chorus]

We are the champions, my friends

And we’ll keep on fighting ’til the end

We are the champions

We are the champions

No time for losers

‘Cause we are the champions

Of the world

[Outro]

We are the champions, my friends

And we’ll keep on fighting ’til the end, oh

We are the champions

We are the champions

No time for losers

‘Cause we are the champions…

Crazy Little Thing Called Love

[Intro]

[Chorus]

This thing called love

I just can’t handle it

This thing called love

I must get ’round to it, I ain’t ready

Crazy little thing called love

[Verse 1]

A-this thing (This thing)

Called love (Called love)

It cries (Like a baby)

In a cradle all night

It swings (Woo, woo)

It jives (Woo, woo)

It shakes all over like a jellyfish

Woo, I kinda like it

Crazy little thing called love

[Bridge]

There goes my baby

She knows how to rock ‘n’ roll

She drives me crazy

She gives me hot and cold fever

Then she leaves me in a cool, cool sweat

[Break]

[Verse 2]

I gotta be cool, relax, get hip

And get on my tracks

Take a back seat, hitch-hike

And take a long ride

On my motorbike until I’m ready

Crazy little thing called love

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

Yeah

I gotta be cool, relax, get hip

And get on my tracks

Take a back seat

Hitch-hike (Ah hum, ah hum)

And take a long ride on my motorbike

Until I’m ready (Ready Freddie)

Crazy little thing called love

[Chorus]

This thing called love

I just can’t handle it

This thing called love

I must get ’round to it

I ain’t ready (Ooh ooh ooh ooh)

[Outro]

Crazy little thing called love

Crazy little thing called love, yeah, yeah

Crazy little thing called love, yeah, yeah

Crazy little thing called love, yeah, yeah

Crazy little thing called love, yeah, yeah

Crazy little thing called love, yeah, yeah

Crazy little thing called love, yeah, yeah

Crazy little thing called love, yeah, yeah

Crazy little thing called love, yeah, yeah

Peaceful Easy Feeling

[Instrumental Intro]


[Verse 1]

I like the way your sparkling earrings lay

Against your skin so brown

And I want to sleep with you in the desert tonight

With a billion stars all around



[Chorus]

‘Cause I got a peaceful easy feelin’

And I know you won’t let me down

‘Cause I’m already standin’

On the ground



[Verse 2]

And I found out a long time ago

What a woman can do to your soul

Aw, but she can’t take you anyway

You don’t already know how to go



[Chorus]

And I got a peaceful easy feelin’

And I know you won’t let me down

‘Cause I’m already standin’

On the ground



[Instrumental Bridge]



[Verse 3]

I get this feelin’ I may know you

As a lover and a friend

But this voice keeps whisperin’ in my other ear

Tells me I may never see you again



[Chorus]

‘Cause I get a peaceful easy feelin’

And I know you won’t let me down

‘Cause I’m already standin’

I’m already standin’

Yes, I’m already standin’

On the ground





[Outro]

Whoo oh ooh

Desperado

[Verse 1]

Desperado

Why don’t you come to your senses?

You’ve been out ridin’ fences

For so long now

Oh, you’re a hard one

But I know that you got your reasons

These things that are pleasin’ you

Can hurt you somehow



[Verse 2]

Don’t you draw the queen of diamonds, boy

She’ll beat you if she’s able

You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet

Now it seems to me some fine things have been laid upon your table

But you only want the ones that you can’t get



[Verse 3]

Desperado

Oh, you ain’t getting no younger

Your pain and your hunger

They’re driving you home

And freedom, oh, freedom

Well that’s just some people talking

Your prison is walking through this world all alone



[Verse 4]

Don’t your feet get cold in the wintertime?

The sky won’t snow and the sun won’t shine

It’s hard to tell the nighttime from the day

You’re losing all your highs and lows

Ain’t it funny how the feeling goes

Away…



[Verse 5]

Desperado

Why don’t you come to your senses?

Come down from your fences

Open the gate

It may be rainin’

But there’s a rainbow above you

You better let somebody love you

(Let somebody love you)

You better let somebody love you

Before it’s too late

She’s Got a Way 

[Verse 1]

She’s got a way about her

I don’t know what it is

But I know that I can’t live without her

She’s got a way of pleasing

I don’t know what it is

But there doesn’t have to be a reason anyway

[Verse 2]

She’s got a smile that heals me

I don’t know why it is

But I have to laugh when she reveals me

And she’s got a way of talking

I don’t know what it is

But it lifts me up

When we are walking anywhere

[Bridge]

She comes to me when I’m feelin’ down

Inspires me without a sound

She touches me and I get turned around

[Verse 3]

She’s got a way of showing

How I make her feel

And I find the strength to keep on going

And she’s got a light around her

And everywhere she goes

A million dreams of love

Surround her everywhere

[Bridge]

She comes to me when I’m feelin’ down

Inspires me without a sound

She touches me and I get turned around

Oh woo oh oh

[Outro]

She’s got a smile that heals me

I don’t know why it is

But I have to laugh when she reveals me

She’s got a way about her

I don’t know what it is

But I know that I can’t live without her anyway

Just the Way You Are

[Verse 1]

Don’t go changin’ to try and please me

You never let me down before, mmm

And don’t imagine you’re too familiar

And I don’t see you anymore

[Chorus 1]

I would not leave you in times of trouble

We never could have come this far, mmm

I took the good times, I’ll take the bad times

I’ll take you just the way you are

[Verse 2]

Don’t go tryin’ some new fashion

Don’t change the color of your hair, mmm

You always have my unspoken passion

Although I might not seem to care

[Chorus 2]

I don’t want clever conversation

I never want to work that hard, mmm

I just want someone that I can talk to

I want you just the way you are

[Bridge]

I need to know that you will always be

The same old someone that I knew

Oh, what will it take ‘til you believe in me

The way that I believe in you?

[Chorus 3]

I said I love you, and that’s forever

And this I promise from the heart, mmm

I couldn’t love you any better

I love you just the way you are

Alright!

[Saxophone Solo]

[Chorus 2]

I don’t want clever conversation

I never want to work that hard, mmm

I just want someone that I can talk to

I want you just the way you are, ohh
