1.How Can You Keep On Moving(Unless You Migrate Too)
(agnes cunningham)
(c) - (f) - (g)
(c) how can you keep on moving un (f) less you migrate (c) too
They tell ya to keep on moving but (g) migrate, you must not do
The (c) only reason for moving and the (f) reason why i (c) roam
To move to a new lo (g) cation and find myself a (c) home
I can't go back to the homestead, the shack no longer stands
They said i was uneeded, had no claim to the land
They said, 'come on, get moving, it's the only thing for you'
But how can you keep moving unless you migrate too
Now if you pitch your little tent along the broad highway
The board of sanitation says, 'sorry, you can't stay'
Come on, come on, get moving it's their everlasting cry
Can't stay, can't go back, can't migrate, so where the hell am i
How can you keep on moving unless you migrate too
They tell ya to keep on moving but migrate, you must not do
The only reason for moving and the reason why i roam
To move to a new location and find myself a home
2.Billy The Kid
(traditional, arranged by ry cooder)
(g) - (d)
(g) i'll sing you a true song of (d) billy the (g) kid
I'll (d) sing the record of (g) deeds that he did
Way out in new mexico a long time (d) ago
When a (g) man's only friend was his (d) own forty- (g) four
Now when billy the kid was a very young lad
In old silver city he went to the bad
Way out west with a knife in his hand
At the age of twelve years he killed his first man
Fair mexican maidens play guitars and sing
Songs about billy their boy bandit king
Before this young manhood reached its sad end
He'd a notch on his pistol for twenty one men
It was on one black night that poor billy died
He said to his friends, 'i'm not satisfied
There's twenty one men that i've put bullets through
And sheriff pat garrett's gonna make twenty-two'
Well, this is how billy the kid met his fate
A big moon was shining and the hour was late
Shot down by pat garrett, silver city's best friend
The poor outlaw's life have reached its sad end
3.Money Honey
(jesse stone)
(a) - (d) - (e) capo on 1
(a) well, the landlord rang my frontdoor bell
(e) i let it rang for a long, long spell
(d) went to the window, peeped through the blind
(e) asked him to tell me what was on his mind
He said, (a) 'money honey, (d) money honey, (a) money honey
(e) if you wanna stay here with (a) me'
I was clean and screened and so hard pressed
I called the woman that i loved the best
Finally found my baby 'bout a quarter to three
She said, 'i'd like to know what you want with me'
And i said, 'money honey, money honey, money honey
If you wanna get along with me'
Well, she screamed and said
'what's wrong with you, from this day forth
Our romance is through'
I said, 'tell me baby, face to face
How could another man take my place ？'
She said, ''money honey, money honey, money honey
If you wanna get along with me'
I've learned a lesson and now i know
Sun may shine, wind may blow
Women may come and women may go
But before i tell 'em that i love 'em so
I want 'money honey, money honey, money honey
If you wanna get along with me'

For the state to open the gate to the president of these united
states
In fact everybody was glad to welcome roosevelt to trinidad
We are privileged to see the democratic president of the great
republic
With his charming and genial personality and his wonderful
urbanity
We were struck by his modest style and we were intrigued by the
famous roosevelt smile
No wonder why everybody was glad to welcome roosevelt to
trinidad
Now we understand that the president has just been on a visit to
brazil and the argentine
Mr. cordell hull in attendance they took part in a peace

To stop war and atrocity and make the world safe for democracy
The greatest event in the century in the interest of suffering
humanity

10.Taxes On The Farmer Feeds Us All
(traditional, adapted by ry cooder)
(d) - (a) - (e)
(a) we worked through spring and winter, through (d) summer and
through (a) fall
But the mortgage worked the hardest and the (e) steadiest of us
all
It (a) worked on nights and sundays, it (d) worked each holiday
(e) settled down among us and it never went (a) away
The farmer comes to town with his wagon broken down
The farmer is the man who feeds us all
If you only look and see i know you will agree
That the farmer is the man who feeds us all
(a) the farmer is the man, the farmer is the man
He buys on his credit until (e) fall
Then they (a) take him by the hand
And they (d) lead him from his land
And the (e) merchant is the man who gets it (a) all
The farmer is the man, the farmer is the man
He lives on his credit until fall
With the interest rates so high
It's a wonder he don't die
But the taxes on the farmer feeds us all
Well, the banker says he's broke and the merchant stops and
smoke
But they forget that it's the farmer that feeds them all
It would put them to the test if the farmer took a rest
And they'd know that it's the farmer that feeds them all
The farmer is the man, the farmer is the man
Lives on his credit until fall
Well, his pants are wearing thin
His condition, it's a sin
'cause the taxes on the farmer feeds us all
11.Vigilante Man
(woody guthrie)
(e) - (a) - (b7) capo on 1
(e) have you seen that (a) vigilante (e) man ？
(a) have you (e) seen that (a) vigilante (e) man ？
(a) have you (e) seen that (a) vigilante (e) man ？
I've been hearin' his (b7) name all over the (e) land.
Rainy nights down in the engine house,
Sleepin' just as still as a mouse,
A man came along and he chased us out in the rain.
Was that a vigilante man ？
Well, i rambled around from town to town,
Now, i rambled around from town to town,
And they herded us around like a wild herd of cattle.
Was that the vigilante man ？
Well, why does a vigilante man ？
Tell me why does a vigilante man ？
Carry that sawed-off shot-gun in his hand ？
Would he shoot his brother and sister down ？
Have you seen that vigilante man ？
Have you seen that vigilante man ？
Have you seen that vigilante man ？
I've been hearin' his name all over the land.
