ISLAND IN THE SUN

CRYSTAL CHANDELIERS

CHORUS:
(C)All the crystal chandeliers light up the (G7)paintings on your wall,
the marble statuettes are standing (C)stately, in the hall.
But will the timely crowd that has you laughing loud help you (F)dry your tears,
when the (C)new wears off, of your (G7)crystal chande(C)liers.

Well I never did fit in too well with the (G7)folks you knew,
And it's plain to see that the likes of me don't (C)fit with you.
So you traded me for the gaiety of the (F)well to do,
And you (C)turned away from the (G7)love I offered (C)you.

Chorus.

Well I see your picture in the news most (G7)every day,
You're the chosen girl of the social world so the (C)stories say.
But a paper smile only lasts awhile then it (F)fades away,
And the (C)love we knew will come (G7)home to you some (C)day.

Chorus. Repeat the last line.

Proud Mary

PROUD MARY

(C) Left a good job in the city,
Workin' for the man ev'ry night and day,
And I never lost one minute of sleepin'
Worryin' 'bout the way things might have been.

CHORUS
(G7) Big wheel keep on turnin',
(Am) Proud Mary keep on burnin'.
(C) Rollin', rollin', rollin', on the river.

(C) Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis,
Pumped a lot of pain down in New Orleans,
But I never saw the good side of the city,
'Til I hitched a ride on a river boat queen.

CHORUS.

(C) If you come down to the river,
Bet you gonna find some people who live,
You don't have to worry 'cause you have no money,
People on the river are happy to give.

CHORUS.
(C) Rollin', rollin', rollin', on the river......X3.
