^G If you're ^Bmtravelin'^C in the north country ^Gfair, ^G Where the winds hit ^Bmheavy^C on the border^Gline, ^GRemember ^Bmme to ^Cone who lives ^Gthere. ^GShe once ^Bmwas ^C a true love of ^Gmine.

Well, if you go when the snowflakes storm, When the rivers freeze and summer ends, Please see if she's wearing a coat so warm, To keep her from the howlin' winds. Please see for me if her hair hangs long, If it rolls and flows all down her breast. Please see for me if her hair hangs long, That's the way I remember her best. I'm a-wonderin' if she remembers me at all. Many times I've often prayed In the darkness of my night, In the brightness of my day. So if you're travelin' in the north country fair, Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline, Remember me to one who lives there. She once was a true love of mine. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.Nashville Skyline Rag [fade in] C . | . . . . | C . . . | . . . . | Harp verse: | C .

^C7---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3.To Be Alone with You

Turnaround: -----4---3---2---|-0----| -----3---2---1---|-0----| -----4---3---2---|-1----| -----------------|-2----| -----------------|-2----| -----------------|-0----| E "Is it rollin', Bob?" [n.C.] E To be alone with you

Just you and ^Ame Now won't you tell me ^Etrue Ain't that the way it oughta ^Bbe? To hold each other ^Etight the whole night ^Athrough Ev'rything is always ^Eright B E [turnaround] When I'm alone with you.

To be alone with you At the close of the day With only you in view While evening slips away It only goes to show That while life's pleasures be few The only one I know Is when I'm alone with you.

They say that ^Anighttime is the right time To ^Ebe with the one you love Too ^F#many thoughts get in the way in the day B [n.C.] But you're always what I'm thinkin' of I wish the night was here Bringin' me all of your charms When only you are near To hold me in your arms. I'll always thank the Lord When my working day's through I get my sweet reward To be alone with you. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.I Threw It All Away

^CI once ^Amheld her^F in my ^Carms, ^CShe said she would^Am always^F stay^G. ^ABut I was ^Dmcruel, I ^Ctreated her ^Emlike a ^Ffool, ^C ^F I threw it all ^Caway. ^F

Once I had mountains in the palm of my hand, And rivers that ran through ev'ry day. I must have been mad, I never knew what I had, Until I threw it all away.

^FLove is all there ^Gis, it ^Cmakes the world go '^Amround, ^FLove and only ^Glove, it can't be de^Anied. ^FNo matter what you ^Gthink about it ^C You just won't be ^Emable to ^Amdo without it. ^BbTake a tip from one who's ^Ftri^Ged. So if you find someone that gives you all of her love, Take it to your heart, don't let it stray, For one thing that's certain, You will surely be a-hurtin', If you throw it all away ^CIf you ^Gthrow it all a^Cway.

Oh, it's shameful and it's sad, I lost the only pal I had, I just could not be what she wanted me to be. I will turn my head up high To that dark and rolling sky, For tonight no light will shine on me.

Capo 3rd fret (sounding key F major) The G/b in the last line of the verses does contain a Bm somewhere (which actually turns into a Gmaj7 of some sort) D: . . .

They say that you've been seen with some other man, That he's tall, dark and handsome, and you're holding his hand. Darlin', I'm a-countin' on you, Tell me that it isn't true.

^GTo know that some ^F#mother man is ^Emholdin' you ^Dtight, ^F#It hurts me all ^Bmover, it ^Emdoesn't seem ^F#mright. ^Em All of those awful things that I have heard, I don't want to believe them, all I want is your word.

^GThrow my ^Cticket out the ^Gwindow, ^GThrow my ^Csuitcase out there, ^Gtoo, Throw my ^Ctroubles ^G/Bout the ^Cdoor, I don't ^Cneed them ^G/Bany ^Ammore 'Cause ^Gtonight I'll be ^Cstaying here with ^Gyou.

I should have left this town this morning But it was more than I could do. Oh, your love comes on so strong And I've waited all day long For tonight when I'll be staying here with you.

^CmIs it really any wond^Ger ^CmThe love that a stranger might re^Gceive. ^AbYou cast your spell and I went ^Cunder, ^AmI find it so difficult to ^Dleave. ^C ^Bm ^Am I can hear that whistle blowin', I see that stationmaster, too, If there's a poor boy on the street, Then let him have my seat 'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you. [instrumental break] Throw my ticket out the window, Throw my suitcase out there, too, Throw my troubles out the door, I don't need them any more 'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.
