 ACCROSS THE UNIVERSE
Paroles et Musique: John lennon & Paul Mac cartney
1968

C CM7 Em
Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup
Dm7 G7
They slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe
C CM7 Em
Pools of sorrow waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind
Dm7 Fm7
Possessing and caressing me

C
Jai guru deva
G7
Om
G7sus4 G7
Nothing’s gonna change my world
F C
Nothing’s gonna change my world
G7sus4 G7
Nothing’s gonna change my world
F C
Nothing’s gonna change my world

Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes

They call me on and on across the universe
Thoughts meander like a restless wind
Inside a letter box they
Stumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe
(ref)

Sounds of laughter shades of life are ringing

Through my open ears inciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love which shines around me like a million suns
And calls me on and on across the universe

 AIN’T NO SUNSHINE
Paroles et Musique: Bill Withers
1971

| Am7 | EmEm/G|

Am7 Am7 Em Em/G

Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone
Am7 Am7 Em Em/G
It’s not warm when she’s away
Am7 Em7
Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone
Dm7
And she’s always gone too long
Am7
Anytime she goes away

Wonder this time where she’s gone

Wonder if she’s gone to stay
Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone
And this house just ain’t no home
Anytime she goes away.

[muted chords]
Am7 Em Em/G
And I know, I know, I know, I know , ...
Am7 Em Em/G
I know, I know, I know, I know , I know, ...
Am7 Dm7
Hey, I oughtta leave the young thing alone
E9+ Am7
But ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone

Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone

Only darkness every day
Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone
And this house just ain’t no home
Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.

 BE-BOP-A-LULA
Paroles et Musique: Bill Davis, Gene Vincent
1955

ROCK EN LA
Well, Be-bop-a-lula, she’s my baby
Be-bop-a-lula, I don’t mean maybe
Be-bop-a-lula, she’s my baby
Be-bop-a-lula, I don’t mean maybe
Be-bop-a-lula, shee-ee is my baby love
My baby love, my baby love

Well, she’s the girl in the red blue jeans

She’s the queen of all the teens
She’s the one that I know
She’s the one that loves me so
Be-bop-a-lula...

Well, she’s the one that gots that beat

She’s the one with the flyin’ feet
She’s the one that walks around the store
She’s the one that gets more more more
Be-bop-a-lula...

 BLUE SUEDE SHOES
Paroles et Musique: Carl Perkins
1956

ROCK EN LA
Well, it’s one for the money, two for the show
Three, to get ready, now go, cat, go
But don’t you step on my blue suede shoes
You can do anything, but lay off of my blue suede shoes

Well, you can knock me down, step in my face

Slander my name all over the place
You can do anything that you want to do
But uh-uh honey, lay off of my shoes
Don’t you step on my blue suede shoes
You can do anything, but lay off of my blue suede shoes

Well, you can burn my house, steal my car

Drink my liquor from an old fruitjar
You can do anything that you want to do
But uh-uh, honey, lay off of my shoes
Don’t you step on my blue suede shoes
You can do anything, but lay off of my blue suede shoes

 C’EST UN ROCKER
(I’m a rocker)
Paroles et Musique: Chuck Berry, adapté en français par Eddy Mitchell
version originale de 1970, française de 1974

E B

A7 E
Tu sais, parfois, la vie me réserve des choses drôles
B7 A7 E B7
Les gens oublient, puis redécouvrent le rock’n’roll
E
Et si je chante l’amour ou bien n’importe quoi
E7
Qu’importe le sujet, les gens disent de moi
A E
C’est un rocker, c’est un roller
B7 A7 E A7 A7# B7
Pourtant, dans le rocker, il y a aussi le mot cœur
Et la mode rétro avec ses ouap doo ouap!
Vient twister dans ma tête et chanter près de moi
Tu es rocker, tu es roller
L’avenir, le passé ne peuvent pas me changer
Les chanteurs décadents aux succès hésitants
Me regardant chanter, disent d’un air horrifié
C’est un rocker, c’est un roller
Quelle brutalité dans ses pantalons serrés !
Si je bois dans un bar trois ou dix verres de trop
Qu’éclate une bagarre, les gens crient aussitôt
C’est ce rocker, oh, c’est ce roller
Si l’on n’vit pas comme eux, les bourgeois deviennent hargneux
Si je traverse la rue en négligeant le bras du flic près du feu
Les gens disent de moi
C’est un rocker, hé, c’est un roller
Il n’a aucun respect pour les gardiens de la paix
Si je mange en gourmet dans un dîner de choix
Qu’importe ma tenue, les snobs diront de moi
C’est un rocker, c’est un roller
L’estomac de rocker se limite aux cheeseburgers

6
Les faux intellectuels, journalistes étroits
S’emparent de ma musique pour écrire de moi
C’est un rocker, c’est un roller
Dans le contexte actuel de l’évolution sexuelle
Tous les faiseurs de fric, les escrocs promoteurs
Me font de grands sourires, je reste franc-tireur
Je suis rocker, je suis roller
Je chante ce que je veux à l’instant où je le veux
Rock, rock, rock and roller...

 FAR, FAR AWAY
Paroles et Musique: Slade
1974
Em D Em D Em D Em D


 
Em D Em D
I’ve seen the yellow lights go down the Mississippi
Em D Em D Em
I’ve seen the bridges of the world and they’re for real
C D
I’ve had a red light of wrist
G Em
Without me even gettin’ kissed
C D
It still seems so unreal

I’ve seen the morning in the mountains of Alaska

I’ve seen the sunset in the east and in the west
I’ve sang the glory that was Rome
And passed the hound dog singer’s home
It still seems for the best

(refrain)
G D/F# Em Em/D C D
And I’m far far away with my head up in the clouds
And I’m far far away with my feet down in the crowds
Lettin’ loose around the world
Em D ..intro..
But the call of home is loud still as loud

I’ve seen the Paris lights from high upon Montmartre

And felt the silence hanging low in no mans land
And all those Spanish nights were fine
It wasn’t only from the wine
It still seems all in hand

I’ve seen the yellow lights go down the Mississippi

The grand Bahama island stories carry on
And all those arigato smiles
Stay in your memory for a while
There still seems more to come

13
 HEARTBREAK HOTEL
Paroles et Musique: Mae Boren Axton, Tommy Durden & Elvis Presley
1956

C7
Now, since my baby left me
I’ve found a new place to dwell
Down at the end of Lonely street
At Heartbreak Hotel, and I feel..
F7
I feel so lonely, baby
I feel so lonely
G7 F7 C7
I feel so lonely, I could die

And through it’s always crowded

You still can find some room
For broken hearted lovers
To cry there in the gloom, and be...
And be so lonely, baby
And be so lonely
And be so lonely
They could die

The bell hop’s tears keep flowing

The desk clerk’s dressed in black
They’ve been so long on Lonely street
They never will go back, and they’re
And they’re so lonely, baby
And they’re so lonely
And they’re so lonely
They pray to die

So if your baby leave you

And you have a tale to tell
Just take a walk to lonely street
To Heartbreak Hotel, where you...
Where you’ll be so lonely, baby
Where you’ll be so lonely
Where you’ll be so lonely
That we could die

It’s been a cold and lonely winter

Little darling
It feels like years since it’s been clear

 HIT THE ROAD JACK
Paroles et Musique: Percy Mayfield
1960

| Dm C | B[ A7 |

Hit the road Jack and don’t you come back no more, no more, no more, no more
Hit the road Jack and don’t you come back no more
What do you say ?
Hit the road Jack and don’t you come back no more, no more, no more, no more
Hit the road Jack and don’t you come back no more
Woah Woman, oh woman, don’t treat me so mean
You’re the meanest old woman that I’ve ever seen
I guess if you said so
I’d have to pack my things and go – That’s right !
Hit the road...
Now baby, listen baby, don’t you treat me this way
Cause I’ll be back on my feet some day
Don’t care if you do ’cause it’s understood
You ain’t got no money you just ain’t no good
Well, I guess if you say so
I’d have to pack my things and go. That’s right

 HOTEL CALIFORNIA
Paroles et Musique: Don Felder, Don Henley, Glenn Frey
Chanté par les Eagles, 1976

Em B
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
D A
Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air
C G
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
Am
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
B
I had to stop for the night

There she stood in the doorway; I heard the mission bell

And I was thinking to myself, this could be heaven or this could be hell
Then she lit up a candle, and she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor, I thought I heard them say

C G
Welcome to the Hotel California
Am Em
Such a lo vely place, such a lo vely face
C G
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Am B
Any time of year you can find it here

Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends

She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

So I called up the captain

Please bring me my wine
He said, we haven’t had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine
And still those voices are calling from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say

17
 Welcome to the Hotel California

Such a lovely place, such a lovely face

They’re livin’ it up at the Hotel California

What a nice surprise, bring your alibis

Mirrors on the ceiling

The pink champagne on ice
And the said : we are all just prisonners here, of our own device
And in the master’s chambers, they gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives
But they just can’t kill the beast

Last thing I remember, I was

Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
Relax, said the night man
We are programmed to receive
You can check-out any time you like
But you can never leave

 HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN
Paroles et Musique: auteur incertain
enregistrée par les Animals, 1964

Dm F G B[
There is a house in New Orleans
Dm F A7
They call the Rising Sun
Dm F G B[
And it’s been the ruin of many a poor boy
Dm A7 Dm A7
And God I know I’m one

My mother was a tailor

She sewed my new bluejeans
My father was a gamblin’ man
Down in New Orleans

Now the only thing a gambler needs

Is a suitcase and trunk
And the only time he’s satisfied
Is when he’s on, a drunk

Oh mother tell your children

Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun

Well, I got one foot on the platform

The other foot on the train
I’m goin’ back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain

Well, there is a house in New Orleans

They call the Rising Sun
And it’s been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I’m one

Les portes du pénitencier

Bientôt vont se refermer

Et c’est lá que je finirai ma vie
Dm A7 Dm A7
Comme d’autres gars l’ont finie

Pour moi, ma mère a donné

Sa robe de mariée
Peux-tu jamais me pardonner
Je t’ai trop fait pleurer

Le soleil n’est pas fait pour nous

C’est la nuit qu’on peut tricher
Toi qui ce soir as tout perdu
Demain, tu peux gagner

Oh, mères, écoutez-moi

Ne laissez jamais vos garçons
Seuls la nuit traîner dans les rues
Ils iront tout droit en prison

Et toi la fille qui m’a aimé

Je t’ai trop fait pleurer
Les larmes de honte que tu as versées
Il faut les oublier

Les portes du pénitencier

Bientôt vont se refermer
Et c’est lá que je finirai ma vie
Comme d’autres gars l’ont finie

Make it good in a lay-by
We’re not threat people, we’re not dirty, we’re not mean
We love everybody, but we do as we please

We go fishing or go swimming in the sea
We’re always happy,

I shot the sheriff
Gm Dm
But I didn’t shoot no deputy
I shot the sheriff
But I didn’t shoot no deputy

B[ Am Dm
All around in my home town
They’re tryin’ to track me down
They say they want to bring me in guilty
For the killing of a deputy
For the life of a deputy
But I say [Bridge]
Dm C F Gm Dm

I shot the sheriff

But I swear it was in self defense
I shot the sheriff
And they say it is a capital offense

Sheriff John Brown always hated me

For what, I don’t know
Every time I plant a seed
He said kill it before it grow
He said kill them before they grow

Freedom came my way one day

And I started out of town, yeah!
All of a sudden I saw sheriff John Brown
Aiming to shoot me down
So I shot, I shot him down
So I shot, I shot him down – I say

Reflexes had got the better of me

And what is to be must be
Every day the bucket a-go a well
One day the bottom a-go drop out
One day the bottom a-go drop out

 I WILL SURVIVE
Paroles et Musique: Freddie Perren, Dino Fekaris
Chanté par Gloria Gaynor, 1978

Bm who tried to hurt me with goodbye

First I was afraid You think I’d crumble
Em7 You think I’d lay down and die
I was petrified Oh no, not...
Kept thinking
A7 ...I
I could never live I will survive
DM7 As long as I know how to love
without you by my side I know I will stay alive
GM7 I’ve got all my life to live
But I spent so many nights I’ve got all my love to give
C#m7([5) And I’ll survive
thinking how you did me wrong
I will survive
F#7
I grew strong It took all the strength I had
I learned how to carry on Not to fall apart
And so you’re... kept trying hard to mend
the pieces of my broken heart
...back
And I spent so many nights
from outer space
Just feeling sorry for myself
I just walked in to find you here I used to cry
with that sad look upon your face Now I hold my head up high
I should have changed my stupid lock And you see...
I should have made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second ...me
you’d be back to bother me Somebody new
I’m not that chained up little person
Go on now still in love with you
Go walk out the door And so you felt like dropping in
Just turn around now And just expect me to be free
’cause you’re not welcome anymore Now I’m saving all my loving
Weren’t you the one For someone who’s loving me

 JAILHOUSE ROCK
Paroles et Musique: Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller
1957

ROCK EN LA

The warden threw a party in the county jail

The prison band was there and they began to wail
The band was jumpin’ and the joint began to swing
You should’ve heard those knocked out jailbirds sing

Ref: Let’s rock

Everybody, let’s rock

Everybody in the whole cell block

Was dancin’ to the Jailhouse Rock

Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone
Little Joe was blowin’ on the slide trombone
The drummer boy from Illinois went crash, boom, bang
The whole rhythm section was a purple gang
Let’s rock...

Number 47 said to number 3

« You’re the cutest jailbird I ever did see »
I sure would be delighted with your company
Come on and do the Jailhouse Rock with me
Let’s rock...

Sad Sack was sittin’ on a block of stone

Way over in the corner weepin’ all alone
The warden said, « Hey, buddy, don’t you be no square,
If you can’t find a partner use a wooden chair »
Let’s rock...

Shifty Henry said to Bugs,« For Heaven’s sake »

No one’s lookin’, now’s the chance to make a break
Bugsy turned to Shifty and he said, « Nix nix,
I wanna stick around a while and get my kicks »
Let’s rock...

 JOHNNY BE GOOD
Paroles et Musique: Chuck Berry
1958

ROCK EN SOL

Deep down in Louisiana, close to New Orleans

Way back up in the woods among the evergreens
There stood a old cabin made of earth and wood
Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode
Who never ever learned to read or write so well
But he could play the guitar just like a ringin’ a bell

Go! go! go, Johnny, go! go!

Go! Johnny, go! go!
Go! Johnny, go! go!
Go! Johnny, go! go!
Johnny B. Goode

He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack

Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track
Old engineers would see him sittin’ in the shade
Strummin’ with the rhythm that the drivers made
When people passed him by they would stop and say
Oh, my! that little country boy can play!

Go! go! go, ...

His mother told him, someday you will be a man

You will be the leader of a big ol’ band
Many people comin’ from miles around
Will hear you play your music ’til the sun goes down
Maybe someday your name will in be the lights
Sayin’ « Johnny B. Goode tonight »

Paroles et Musique: Renaud Séchan
Em 1977 Avec ça j’s’rai un vrai rocker
J’étais tranquille j’étais peinard Viens faire un tour dans la ruelle
Accoudé au flipper J’te montrerai mon opinel
D Et j’te chourav’rai ton blouson
Le type est entré dans le bar
Moi j’lui ai dit : laisse béton
Em
A commandé un jambon beurre
Y m’a filé une beigne
Puis il s’est approché de moi
J’lui ai filé un marron
Et il m’a regardé comme ça :
Y m’a filé une châtaigne
T’as des bottes, mon pote,
J’ui ai filé mon blouson
elles me bottent !
D Em
J’parie qu’c’est des santiags J’étais tranquille j’étais peinard
D Je réparais ma mobylette
Viens faire un tour dans l’terrain vague Le type a surgi su’l’boulevard
Em D Sur sa grosse moto super chouette
J’vais t’apprendre un jeu rigolo S’est arrêté l’long du trottoir
Em Et m’a regardé d’un air bête :
À grands coups de chaine de vélo T’as l’même blue jean que James Dean
D T’arrêtes ta frime
J’te fais tes bottes à la baston
J’parie qu’c’est un vrai Lévi Strauss
Em Il est carrément pas craignos
Moi j’lui ai dit : laisse béton
Viens faire un tour derrière l’église
D Histoire que je te dévalise
Y m’a filé une beigne À grands coups de ceinturon
Em Moi j’lui ai dit : laisse béton
J’lui ai filé une torgnolle
D Y m’a filé une beigne
Y m’a filé une châtaigne J’lui ai filé une mandale
Em Y m’a filé une châtaigne
J’lui ai filé mes grolles J’lui ai filé mon futal
J’étais tranquille, j’étais peinard La morale de c’te pauvre histoire
Accoudé au comptoir C’est qu’quand t’es tranquille
Le type est entré dans le bar et peinard
A commandé un café noir Faut pas trop traîner dans les bars
Puis il m’a tapé sur l’épaule À moins d’êt’e fringué en costard
Et m’a regardé d’un air drôle : Quand à la fin d’une chanson
T’as un blouson, mecton, Tu t’retrouves à poil sans tes bottes
l’est pas bidon Faut avoir d’l’imagination
Moi j’me les gèle sur mon scooter Pour trouver une chute rigolote.

Through the world’s full of problems

Tonight there will be a party
On the corner at the end of the block

But our answer today
Is to let all our worries
Like the breeze, through our fingers,
slip away
Peace has come to Zimbabwe
Third world’s right on the one
Now’s the time for celebration
’Cause we’ve only just begun
(to chorus)
You ask me am I happy
Well, as matter of fact
I can say that I’m ecstatic
’Cause we all just made a pact
We’ve agreed to get together
Joined as children in Jah

Your destination is the brightest star

I would hold it ’til that eagle grins
I would try him just for one little house

Nobody knows me when you’re down

Paroles et Musique: George Jackson, Thomas E. Jones III, Bob Seger
1978

A
Just take those old records off the shelf
D
I’ll sit and listen to them by myself
E
Today’s music ain’t got the same soul
A E
I like that old time rock and roll
Don’t try to take me to a Disco
You’ll never even get me out on the floor
In ten minutes I’ll be late for the door
I like that old time rock and roll
Still like that old time rock and roll
The kinda music just soothes the soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time rock and roll
Won’t go to hear them play a Tango
I’d rather hear some blues or funky old soul
There’s only one sure way to get me to go
Start playin’ old time rock and roll
Call me a relic call me what you will
Say I’m old fashioned say I’m over the hill
Today’s music ain’t got the same soul
I like that old time rock and roll

 LE BON TEMPS DU ROCK’N’ROLL
Old time rock’n’roll
Paroles et Musique: G. Jackson, T.E. Jones III, B. Seger, adaptation française de M. Mallory
1979

A
J’en ai assez d’entendre à la radio
D
Les mêmes sons et les mêmes tempos
E
Il faudrait que la musique s’affole
A E
Tout comme au bon vieux temps du rock’n’roll
J’ai une indigestion de disco
Et tous ces crooners qui me tapent sur les nerfs
Et le rétro j’en ai vraiment ras le bol
Je préfère le bon temps du rock’n’roll
Je préfère le bon temps du rock’n’roll
C’est la seule musique qui soit folle
Depuis toujours entre nous deux ça colle
Depuis le bon vieux temps du rock’n’roll
Et je suis allergique au tango
Et je m’ennuie à mourir avec le slow
Moi j’aime la musique quand elle roule les épaules
Tout comme au bon vieux temps du rock’n’roll
Pour une fois je suis resté fidèle
Plus longtemps qu’avec la fille la plus belle
Le feeling ne s’apprend pas dans les écoles
Où est le bon vieux temps du rock’n’roll ?

 ONLY WOMEN BLEED
Paroles et Musique: Alice Cooper

E F]7/E F]m7/E E

Man’s got his woman to take his seed

He’s got the power - oh
She’s got the need
She spends her life through pleasing up her man
She feeds him dinner or anything she can

D/E A/E E
She cries alone at night too often
G]m Gm F]m B4
He smokes and drinks and don’t come home at all

[Ref : x2]
E
Only women bleed
F]7/E

F]m7/E
Only women bleed
E
Only women bleed

Man makes your hair gray

He’s your life’s mistake
All you’re really lookin’ for is an even break
He lies right at you
You know you hate this game
He slaps you once in a while and you live and love in pain

 REBEL REBEL
Paroles et Musique: David Bowie
1973

Riff sur les 3 cordes basses (corde de D : 12-10-9)

C D
You’ve got your mother in a whirl
She’s not sure if you’re a boy or a girl
Hey babe, your hair’s alright
Hey babe, let’s go out tonight
You like me, and I like it all
We like dancing and we look divine
You love bands when they’re playing hard
You want more and you want it fast

G C
They put you down, they say I’m wrong
A D
You tacky thing, you put them on

Rebel Rebel, you’ve torn your dress

Rebel Rebel, your face is a mess
Rebel Rebel, how could they know
Hot tramp, I love you so

You’ve torn your dress, your face is a
mess
You can’t get enough, but enough ain’t
the test
You’ve got your transmission and your
live wire
You got your cue line and a handful of
ludes
You wanna be there when they count
up the dudes
And I love your dress
You’re a juvenile success
Because your face is a mess
So how could they know
I said, how could they know
So what you wanna know
Calamity’s child, chi-chile, chi-chile
Where’d you wanna go
What can I do for you
Looks like you’ve been there too
Cause you’ve torn your dress
And your face is a mess
Oo, your face is a mess
Oo, oo, so how could they know
Ha, ha, how could they know

Paroles et Musique: Bernard Lavilliers
1980, sur l’album O gringo

Bm Em7 F]m7
Si tu danses reggae
Si tu penses reggae
Tu balances reggae
Sans défense reggae
C’est spécial reggae
Infernal reggae
Ça commence à cogner
Comme un cœur régulier

I love the island

Em7 A7
I and I know when and where I’ll go
But it is so hard to feed my kids
Bm
But it is so hard to stand the ghetto

Tout l’monde danse, tu te traînes Pour un flingue dans ta poche

Tout l’monde fume et tu bois T’es coincé à gun court
Downtown, ça enchaîne Jusque-là le reggae
Dans les rhumbars en bois Viendra t’réveiller
Quand ça cause le reggae
Ça explose reggae Elle est noire et dorée
C’est la soul reggae Elle est belle à crever
Qui déboule reggae Regarde-la marcher
Et danser son reggae
Derrière les barbelés Fait trop chaud pour chanter
Trois rangés bien gardées Fait trop soif pour noter
Ils attendent de crever Trop beau pour t’expliquer
De sortir de braquer Ce qui s’passe dans l’reggae
