Will Ye Go LASSIE GO
Arranged gititka
1.Oh the summertime is coming
And the trees are sweetly blooming
And the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the blooming heather
CHORUS
Will ye go lassie go
And we'll all go together
To pluck wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather
Will ye go lassie go
2.I will build my love a tower
Near yon' pure crystal fountain
And on it I will place
All the flowers of the mountain
CHORUS
3.If my true love she were gone,
I would surely find another
Where the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the blooming heather
CHORUS
[Key Change and repeat VERSE ONE]
Only You
Vince Clarke. Arr. gitika partington
Looking from a window above
It's like a story of love
Can you hear me.
Came back only yesterday
We’re moving farther away
Want you near me.
All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
All I ever knew
Only you
Sometimes when I think of your name
And it's only a game
And I need you
Listen to the words that you say
It’s getting harder to stay
When I see you
All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
All I ever knew
Only you
Something Stupid
Arr.gitika
I know I stand in line, until you think you have the time
To spend an evening with me
And if we go someplace to dance, I know that there's a chance
You won't be leaving with me
And afterwards we drop into a quiet little place
And have a drink or two
And then I go and spoil it all, by saying something stupid
Like: "I love you"
I can see it in your eyes, that you despise the same old lies
You heard the night before
And though it's just a line to you, for me it's true
It never felt so right before
I practise every day to find some clever lines to say
To make the meaning come true
But then I think I'll wait until the evening gets late
And I'm alone with you
The time is right your perfume fills my head, the stars get red
And oh the night's so blue
And then I go and spoil it all, by saying something stupid
Like: "I love you"
("I love you, I love you,...")
Help
Lennon /McCartney arr gitika
Help, I need somebody,
Help, not just anybody,
Help, you know I need someone, help.
1.When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody's help in any way.
And now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured,
Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the door.
MIDDLE
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me?
2.And now my life has changed in oh so many ways,
My independence seems to vanish in the haze.
But every now and then I feel so insecure,
I know that I just need you like I've never done before.
REPEAT
