VERSURI HARRY CHAPIN
| Harry Chapin - A Better Place To Be |
| It was an early morning bar room,
And the place just opened up.
And the little man come in so fast and
Started at his cup.
And the broad who served the whisky
She was a big old friendly girl.
And she |
| Harry Chapin - A Lot Of Lonely People Tonight |
| Holdin' on tight to my pillow
Wish it had a life of its own,
Starin' at the ceilin,'

| Harry Chapin - A Quiet Little Love Affair |

| Harry Chapin - And The Baby Never Cries |
| Well, I've sung out one more evening,
and I'm wrung out, feeling beat.
I walk on out the door once more

but |
| Harry Chapin - Anthem |
| She wasn't very pretty,
She wasn't very smart,

her heart.

Sing a song that's of my day,
Everybody special in there ordinary way.
|
| Harry Chapin - Any Old Kind Of Day |
| Turning on my pillow, thinking kind of strange.
The color is of midnight in this room.
The cars outside are coughing and it's kind of
hard to sleep
and there's neon out the window, not the moon.
And it |
| Harry Chapin - Barefoot Boy |
| Oh, barefoot boy,
once he came unto a land of forests,
and of streams
that tumbled through the meadows to the sea.
He called it home for many were its wonders
and he learned to live upon the land

| Harry Chapin - Bummer |
| His mama was a midnight woman
His daddy was a drifter drummer
One night they put it together

Chewing the paint chip |
| Harry Chapin - Burning Herself |
| She was crazy (she was beautiful),
I guess she had to be.
I was angry (you were blind),
because I could not see.
I saw only what her cigarettes had done to her
skin.
I should have known the outside wo |
| Harry Chapin - Changes |
| I was cramped into a coffee house pew
two dollar coke in my hand

| Harry Chapin - Dreams Go By |

Looking all grown up and so very pleased
When you write your poems they have so much to say
When you speak your dreams it takes my breath away

I missed my bus connect |
| Harry Chapin - I Finally Found It, Sandy |
| A new day is beginning
I can feel it in my bones
It's not what you are winning
It don't matter what you own
It is more than just a feeling
More than just a song
It's something like a healing
And I f |
| Harry Chapin - I Wanna Learn A Love Song |

fast on my feet, kind a lean and lazy;
not much meat on my bones, and a whole lot alone,
and more than a little bit crazy.

to keep my |
| Harry Chapin - I Wonder What Would Happen To Him |

I sort through in my mind the little that I know
But the only things I find from where m |
| Harry Chapin - If My Mary Were Here |
| I would not be so stoned
If my Mary were here
I don't think I'd have phoned you
If my Mary were here
I'm a sad sack Sir Galahad
Who's sword's around his knees
With a Grail no longer holy
And a praye |
| Harry Chapin - Last Of The Protest Singers |
| He's the last of the protest singers,
Selling truth and commitment,
He don't get much work these days,
He's billed as a novelty act,
And he stands there with his thumb out,
Hitching a ride towards the |
| Harry Chapin - Let Time Go Lightly |
| I let time go lightly when I'm here with you,
I let time go lightly when the day is through.
I keep a watch on time when I've have work to do,
I let time go lightly with you.
Morning, a time for brea |
| Harry Chapin - Manhood |

In my loose and lusty youth
I was feeling well self-satisfied
Deliciously uncouth
When she slipped out from my covers
With a smile

| Harry Chapin - Mr Tanner |

| Chorus:
I give part time help
I'm the odd job man

| Harry Chapin - Old College Avenue |
| Of course I picked a rainy night
To try to find our past

The leaves were falling fast
I walked down the winding road
Looked up through the trees
And I saw the co |
| Harry Chapin - Old Folkie |
| He's the man with the banjo and the 12-string

| Harry Chapin - One Light In A Dark Valley |

And the mist is falling like rain
One light in a dark valley
And I'm alone again
One light in a dark valley
And I am all alone
One light in a dark valley
Is all I can call |
| Harry Chapin - Remember When The Music |

Came from wooden boxes strung with silver wire
And as we sang the words, it would set our minds
on fire,
For we believed in things, and so we'd sing.

| Harry Chapin - Short Stories |

The sun is becoming bright on the land.

| Harry Chapin - Star Tripper |

| I can see myself it's a golden sunrise

Your own kind of way.

| Harry Chapin - Stranger With The Melodies |

In the last room down the hall
I heard a hoarse voice and an old guitar
Coming through the paper thin walls.

| Harry Chapin - There Only Was One Choice |
| There's a kid out on my corner -- hear him
strumming like a fool
Shivering in his dungarees -- but still he's going

His cheeks are made of peach fuzz -- his hopes may
be the same
But he's s |

| Now won't you listen to the word wizard,
Watch him open up his gizzard,
