Ballad of Green Berets (#1 Staff Sgt Barry Sadler) - C
Fighting soldiers from the sky
Fearless men who jump and die
Men who mean just what they say
The brave men of the Green Beret

Sweet Pea (#8 - Tommy Roe) - C
Oh, Sweet Pea, come on and dance with me
Come on, come on, come on and dance with me.
Oh, Sweet Pea, oh won't you dance with me?
Won't you, oh won't you be my girl?

Summer in the City - (#1 Lovin' Spoonful) - Cm

Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck gettin' dirt-'n'-gritty
Bend down, isn't it a pity
Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city
All around people lookin' half dead
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match-head

Strangers In the Night (#1 - Frank Sinatra) - F
(Cm)
Strangers in the night
Two lonely people, we were strangers in the night
Up to the moment when we said our first hello little did we know
Love was just a glance away, a warm embracing dance away

and

Ever since that night we've been together
Lovers at first sight, in love forever
It turned out so right for strangers in the night

Cherish (#1 The Association) - F
Cherish is the word I use to describe
All the feeling that I have hiding here for you inside.
You don't know how many times I've wished that I had told you,
You don't know how many times I've wished that I could hold you,
You don't know how many times I've wished that I could
Mold you into someone who could Cherish me as much as I Cherish you.

Monday Monday (#1 - The Mamas and Papas) - F
Monday, Monday, so good to me
Monday mornin', it was all I hoped it would be
Oh Monday mornin', Monday mornin' couldn't guarantee
That Monday evenin' you would still be here with me

Good Vibrations (#1 Beach Boys) - F
I'm pickin' up good vibrations She's giving me excitations
I'm pickin' up good vibrations (Oom bop bop good vibrations)
She's giving me excitations (Oom bop bop excitations)
Good good good good vibrations (Oom bop bop)
She's giving me excitations (Oom bop bop excitations)
Good good good good vibrations (Oom bop bop)
She's giving me excitations (Oom bop bop excitations)

My Love (#1 - Petula Clark) - C
My love is warmer than the warmest sunshine, softer than a sigh.
My love is deeper than the deepest ocean, wider than the sky.
My love is brighter than the brightest star that shines every night above.
And there is nothing in this world that can ever change my love.

I'm a Believer #1 (The Monkees) - G
Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind.
I'm in love, I'm a believer!
I couldn't leave her if I tried.

Paint It Black (#1 The Rolling Stones) - Em
I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

Eleanor Rigby (#11 The Beatles) - Em
Eleanor Rigby, picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

These Boots Are Made For Walkin' (#1 Nancy Sinatra) - G
You keep saying you got something for me
Something you call love but confess
You've been a'messin' where you shouldn't 've been a'messin'
And now someone else is getting all your best
Well, these boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do
One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you

We Can Work It Out (#1 Beatles) - G
Try to see it my way
Do I have to keep on talking till I can't go on
While you see it your way
Run the risk of knowing that or love may soon be gone
We can work it out
We can work it out

Winchester Cathedral (#1 - The New Vaudeville Band) - Eb
Winchester Cathedral
You're bringing me down
You stood and you watched as
My baby left town
Vo do de oh do

You Can't Hurry Love (#1 The Supremes) - Eb
You can't hurry love
No, you'll just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
But it's a game of give and take
You can't hurry love
No, you'll just have to wait
Just trust in a good time
No matter how long it takes
