MAGGIE MAE Rod Stewart, 1971 (#1)
WAKE UP MAGGIE I THINK I'VE GOT SOMETHING TO SAY TO YOU
IT'S LATE SEPTEMBER AND I REALLY SHOULD BE BACK AT SCHOOL
I KNOW I KEEP YOU AMUSED BUT I FEEL I'M BEING USED
OH MAGGIE I COULDN'T HAVE TRIED ANY MORE
YOU LED ME AWAY FROM HOME JUST TO SAVE YOU FROM BEING ALONE
YOU STOLE MY HEART AND THAT'S WHAT REALLY HURTS
THE MORNING SUN WHEN IT'S IN YOUR EYES REALLY SHOWS YOUR AGE
BUT THAT DON'T WORRY ME NONE, IN MY EYES YOU'RE EVERYTHING
I LAUGHED AT ALL OF YOUR JOKES, MY LOVE YOU DIDN'T NEED TO COAX
OH MAGGIE I COULDN'T HAVE TRIED ANY MORE
YOU LED ME AWAY FROM HOME JUST TO SAVE YOU FROM BEING ALONE
YOU STOLE AND MY SOUL AND THAT'S A PAIN I CAN DO WITHOUT
ALL I NEEDED WAS A FRIEND TO LEND A HELPING HAND
BUT YOU TURNED INTO A LOVER AND MOTHER WHAT A LOVER
YOU WORE ME OUT
ALL YOU DID WAS WRECK MY BED AND IN THE MORNING
KICK ME IN THE HEAD
OH MAGGIE I COULDN'T HAVE TRIED ANY MORE
YOU LED ME AWAY FROM HOME JUST TO SAVE YOU FROM BEING ALONE
YOU STOLE AND MY HEART, I COULDN'T LEAVE YOU IF I TRIED
I SUPPOSE I COULD COLLECT MY BOOKS AND GO ON BACK TO SCHOOL
OR STEAL MY DADDY'S CUE AND MAKE A LIVING AT PLAYING POOL
OR FIND MYSELF A ROCK AND ROLL BAND THAT NEEDS A HELPING HAND
OH MAGGIE I WISHED I'D NEVER SEEN YOUR FACE
YOU MADE A FIRST CLASS FOOL OUT OF ME BUT I'M AS BLIND
AS A FOOL CAN BE
YOU STOLE MY HEART BUT I LOVE YOU ANYWAY
ENDING:
...MAGGIE, I WISH I'D NEVER SEEN YOUR FACE
I'LL GET ON BACK HOME ONE OF THESE DAYS, WHOO HOO HOO

MAGIC CARPET RIDE Steppenwolf (#3,1968)
I LIKE TO DREAM
RIGHT BETWEEN THE SOUND MACHINE
BY THE TIME I GET TO YESTERDAY'S LIGHT IF EVERYTHING GOES RIGHT
GOES FAST, FLIES NEAR, TOO FAR AWAY FROM HERE
CHORUS (after each verse)
WELL YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT WE CAN FIND
WHY DON'T YOU COME WITH ME LITTLE GIRL ON A MAGIC CARPET RIDE
YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT WE CAN SEE
WHY DON'T YOU TELL YOUR DREAMS TO ME--FANTASY WILL SET YOU FREE
CLOSE YOUR EYES GIRL, CLOSE 'EM TIGHT GIRL
LET THE SOUND TAKE YOU AWAY
LAST NIGHT I HELD ALLADIN'S LAMP
SORT OF WISHED THAT I COULD STAY
BEFORE THE THING COULD ANSWER ME
WELL SOMEONE THEN TOOK THE LAMP AWAY
I LOOKED AROUND..LOUSY CAN WAS ALL I FOUND

MANDOLIN WIND Rod Stewart
WELL THE RAIN CAME, I THOUGHT YOU'D LEAVE ME
'CAUSE I KNEW HOW MUCH YOU LOVED THE SUN
BUT YOU CHOSE TO STAY, STAY AND KEEP ME WARM
THROUGH THE DARKEST NIGHTS I'VE EVER KNOWN
BUT THE MANDOLIN WIND COULDN'T CHANGE A THING
AND I KNOW I LOVE YOU
OH THE SNOW FELL WITHOUT A BREAK
BUFFALO DIED IN THE FROZEN FIELDS, YOU KNOW
THROUGH THE COLDEST WINTER IN ALMOST FOURTEEN YEARS
I COULDN'T BELIEVE YOU CARED TO SMILE
NOW I CAN REST ASSURED KNOWIN' THAT WE'VE SEEN THE WORST
AND I KNOW I LOVE YOU
OH I NEVER WAS GOOD WITH ROMANTIC WORDS
SO THE NEXT FEW LINES COME REALLY HARD
DON'T HAVE MUCH, BUT WHAT I GOT IS YOURS
EXCEPT OF COURSE, MY STEEL GUITAR
'CAUSE I KNOW YOU DON'T PLAY BUT I'LL TEACH YOU ONE DAY
AND YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU
I RECALL THE NIGHT WE KNELT AND PRAYED
NOTICING YOUR FACE WAS THIN AND PALED
I FOUND IT HARD TO HIDE MY TEARS
I FELT ASHAMED, I FELT I'D LET YOU DOWN
NO MANDOLIN WIND COULDN'T CHANGE A THING
COULDN'T CHANGE A THING, NO NO NO...(ending)

MIDNIGHT AT THE OASIS Maria Muldaur, 1974 (#6)
written by David Nichtern
MIDNIGHT AT THE OASIS, SEND YOUR CAMEL TO BED
SHADOWS PAINTIN' OUR FACES, TRACES
OF ROMANCE IN OUR HEADS
HEAVEN'S HOLDIN' A HALF-MOON SHININ' JUST FOR US
LET'S SLIP OFF TO A SAND DUNE REAL SOON
AND KICK UP A LITTLE DUST
CHORUS:
COME ON, CACTUS IS OUR FRIEND--HE'LL POINT OUT THE WAY
COME ON, TILL THE EVENIN' ENDS, TILL THE EVENIN' ENDS
YOU DON'T HAVE TO ANSWER, THERE'S NO NEED TO SPEAK
I'LL BE YOUR BELLY DANCER, PRANCER
AND YOU CAN BE MY SHEIK
I KNOW YOUR DADDY'S A SULTAN, A NOMAD KNOWN TO ALL
WITH FIFTY GIRLS TO ATTEND HIM, THEY ALL SEND HIM
JUMP AT HIS BECK AND CALL
BUT YOU WON'T NEED NO HAREM HONEY
WHEN I'M BY YOUR SIDE
AND YOU WON'T NEED NO CAMEL, NO NO
WHEN I TAKE YOU FOR A RIDE (chorus & verse 1)

MIDNIGHT SPECIAL
WELL YOU WAKE UP IN THE MORNING
HEAR THE THE DING DONG RING
YOU GO A-MARCHIN' TO THE TABLE
SEE THE THE SAME DAMN THING
WELL, IT'S ON ONE TABLE--KNIFE, FORK, AND A PAN
AND IF YOU SAY ANYTHING ABOUT IT
YOU'RE IN TROUBLE WITH THE MAN
CHORUS (after each verse):
LET THE MIDNIGHT SPECIAL SHINE HER LIGHT ON ME
LET THE MIDNIGHT SPECIAL SHINE HER LIGHT ON ME
IF YOU EVER GO TO HOUSTON YOU BETTER WALK RIGHT
YOU BETTER NOT STAGGER AND YOU BETTER NOT FIGHT
SHERIFF BENSON WILL ARREST YOU, HE'LL CARRY YOU DOWN
AND IF THE JURY FINDS YOU GUILTY YOU'RE PENITENTIARY BOUND
YONDER COME LITTLE ROSIE--HOW IN THE WORLD DO I KNOW
I CAN TELL HER BY HER APRON AND THE DRESS SHE WORE
UMBRELLA ON HER SHOULDER, PIECE OF PAPER IN HER HAND
SHE GOES A-MARCHIN' TO THE CAPTAIN--SAYS "I WANT MY MAN"

MR. SPACEMAN Byrds, 1966 (#36)
WOKE UP THIS MORNING WITH LIGHT IN MY EYES
AND THEN REALIZED IT WAS STILL DARK OUTSIDE
IT WAS A LIGHT COMING DOWN FROM THE SKY
I DON'T KNOW WHO OR WHY
MUST BE THOSE STRANGERS THAT COME EVERY NIGHT
THOSE SAUCER-SHAPED LIGHTS PUT PEOPLE UPTIGHT
LEAVE BLUE-GREEN FOOTPRINTS THAT GLOW IN THE DARK
I HOPE THEY GET HOME ALL RIGHT
CHORUS (after each verse):
HEY MR. SPACEMAN
WON'T YOU PLEASE TAKE ME ALONG--I WON'T DO ANYTHING WRONG
HEY MR. SPACEMAN
WON'T YOU PLEASE TAKE ME ALONG FOR A RIDE

HAD FLIES IN MY BEARD--MY TOOTHPASTE WAS SMEARED

MONSTER MASH Bobby "Boris" Pickett (#1, 1962)

WHEN MY EYES BEHELD AN EERIE SIGHT
FOR MY MONSTER FROM THE SLAB BEGAN TO RISE
AND SUDDENLY TO MY SURPRISE
CHORUS (after each verse):
(HE DID THE MASH) THEY DID THE MONSTER MASH
(THEY DID THE MASH) IT WAS A GRAVEYARD SMASH

FROM MY LABORATORY IN THE CASTLE EAST
TO THE MASTER BEDROOM WHERE THE VAMPIRES FEAST
THE GHOULS ALL CAME FROM THEIR HUMBLE ABODE
TO GET A JOLT FROM MY ELECTRODES
BRIDGE:
THE ZOMBIES WERE HAVING FUN--THE PARTY HAD JUST BEGUN
THE GUESTS INCLUDED WOLFMAN, DRACULA, AND HIS SON
THE SCENE WAS ROCKING, ALL WERE DIGGING THE SOUNDS
IGOR ON CHAINS BACKED BY HIS BAYING HOUNDS
THE COFFIN BAGGERS WERE ABOUT TO ARRIVE
WITH THEIR VOCAL GROUP, THE "CRYPT-KICKER FIVE"
OUT FROM HIS COFFIN DRAC'S VOICE DID RING
SEEMS HE WAS TROUBLED BY JUST ONE THING
HE OPENED THE LID AND SHOOK HIS FIST AND SAID
"WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE TRANSYLVANIA TWIST?"
NOW EVERYTHING'S COOL, DRAC'S A PART OF THE BAND
AND MY MONSTER MASH IS THE HIT OF THE LAND
FOR YOU, THE LIVING, THIS MASH WAS MEANT TOO
WHEN YOU GET TO MY DOOR TELL THEM BORIS SENT YOU

WITH THE STARS UP ABOVE IN YOUR EYES
A FANTABULOUS NIGHT TO MAKE ROMANCE
'NEATH THE COVER OF OCTOBER SKIES
YOU KNOW THE LEAVES ON THE TREES ARE FALLIN'
TO THE SOUND OF THE BREEZES THAT BLOW
AND I'M TRYIN' TO PLAY TO THE CALLING
OF YOUR HEARTSTRINGS THAT PLAY SOFT AND LOW
YOU KNOW THE NIGHT'S MAGIC SEEM TO WHISPER AND HUSH
AND ALL THE SOFT MOONLIGHT SEEMS TO SHINE IN YOUR BLUSH
CHORUS:
CAN I JUST HAVE ONE MORE MOONDANCE WITH YOU MY LOVE
CAN I JUST MAKE SOME MORE ROMANCE WITH YOU MY LOVE
WELL I WANT TO MAKE LOVE TO YOU TONIGHT
I CAN'T WAIT TILL THE MORNING HAS COME
AND I KNOW NOW THE TIME IS JUST RIGHT
AND STRAIGHT INTO MY ARMS YOU WILL RUN
WHEN YOU COME MY HEART WILL BE WAITING
TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE NEVER ALONE
THERE AND THEN ALL MY DREAMS WILL COME TRUE DEAR
THERE AND THEN I WILL MAKE YOU MY OWN
AND EVERY TIME THAT I TOUCH YOU YOU JUST TREMBLE INSIDE
THEN I KNOW HOW MUCH YOU WANT ME THERE YOU CAN'T HIDE

MORE THAN A FEELING Boston, 1976 (#5)

TURNED ON SOME MUSIC TO START MY DAY
I LOST MY SELF IN A FAMILIAR SONG
I CLOSED MY EYES AND I SLIPPED AWAY
CHORUS (after each verse):
IT'S MORE THAN A FEELIN' (MORE THAN A FEELIN')

the chorus, the second, shorter version with a second bridge.)
Underlined words are the first beat of each measure.

WOULDN'T HAVE TO SAY THAT YOU LOVE ME 'CAUSE I'D ALREADY
CHORUS (after each verse in longer version):
KNOW--WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF MY HEART WAS TORN IN TWO MORE THAN
WORDS TO SHOW YOU FEEL THAT YOUR LOVE FOR ME IS REAL--WHAT
WOULD YOU SAY IF I TOOK THOSE WORDS AWAY
THEN YOU COULDN'T MAKE THINGS NEW JUST BY SAYING I LOVE
