How Kind of You

^A How kind of you to think of ^F#mme ^A when I was out of ^F#msorts. ^A It really meant a ^F#mlot to be in s^C#momeone else's th^Emoughts, ^C#msomeone else's ^Emmind, C#m Dm Dm/F A someone else as kind, as you.

The thoughtfulness you showed has made a difference in my life. I won't forget how unafraid you were that long dark night. I thought that all was lost, I thought I'd never find, Dm Dm/F A a someone quite as kind, as you. I thougt my faith had gone, I thought there couldn't be, a someone who was there for me. Inter 1:[A Em/B C Em/B] x3 [Esus4 E] How kind of you to stick by me during the final bout. And listen to the referee as I was counted out, I thought my time was up, I thought I'd never find a someone as kind, as you. I thought my faith had gone, How kind of you to think of me. How kind of you. Inter 2:[A Em/B C Em/B] x3 [A] How kind of you to think of me. How kind of you. end:[F E] x3 [A] END _________________________________________________________________________ Jenny Wren *I know this is wrong I've seen him in concert and he uses an alternate tuning this as close as I could get. Intro doen't have a capo on the guitar. It is pretty much like bird you use finger picking for the chords, before the F#m pick the E string.

^Em I'll tell you what I'm gonna do^C I'll try to take my mind off you. ^Em Now that you don't need my help^C I've used the time to think about myself.

^Am You're not aware Of what you put me through But now the feeling's gone But I don't mind Do what you have to do You don't fool anyone.

^Am There was a time When everyday was young, The sun would always shine. We sang along When all the songs we sung Believing every line.

Solo: (Em C) x2

^F That's the trouble with friendship Someone to feed it it has to be real Or it w^Gouldn't be right^F And I keep hoping for friendship But I wouldn't dare to presume it was there Wh^Gile you were riding to Vanity Fair^Am.

Follow Me (a great song!! I did this song at my 1st open mic and eveybody loved it)

You ^Clift up my spirits, you^CMaj7 shine on my soul, when^Amever I'm empty, you ^Am7make me feel whole. I can r^Fely on you, to guide me through, ^Cany situ^Amation. You h^Emold up a sign that r^Feads, follow m^Ce.

You give me direction, you show me the way, you give me a reason, to face every day. I can depend on you, to send me to, any destination. You hold up a sign that reads, follow me, follow me.

D^Down the track of lonelines, down the path of love. T^Dadd4hrough t^Dhe words of heartache, to the en^Dd. O^Dn the shores of sorrow, where the waves of hope crash in. The p^Dadd4erfect ^Dplace for me to find a fri^Amend. ^C ^Am ^C

You lead to places, that I've never been, uncovering secrets, that I've never seen. I can rely on you, to guide me through, any situation. You hold up a sign that reads, follow me, follow me.

Follow m^Ce, follow m^Ae, follow m^Ce, follow m^Ae, follow m^Ce, follow m^Ae. ^D End _______________________________________________________________________ Promise to You Girl
