\ Here is Cats in the Cradle as I found it in Nevada. There are some pretty weird

chords in it and I don't know what they are. Could someone post them or mail  

them to me? It is much appreciated.

 Is there a list somewhere of weird chords?

Thanks

                                                   Harry Chapin and Sandy Chapin

As published in "Harry Chapin: A Legacy in Song"

                 (c) 1987 Cherry Lane Music Co., Inc.

IMHO, this is a better version that the simplified version that was/is on

ftp.nevada.edu.

TAB: each space represents an eigth note

The music says CAPO 8 (key of F) but I usually play it CAPO 5 (key of D),

since that's in my range.

Song: Leaving On A Jet Plane

G7     C                    F

All my bags are packed I'm ready to go

      C               F

I'm standing here outside your door,

   C               Am             G    G7        

I hate to wake you up to say goodbye.

         C                     F

But the dawn is breaking it's early mor'n

The taxi waiting he is blowing his horn

   C            Am               G     G7

Already i'm so lonesome I could cry.

Chorus:

So kiss me and smile for me,

 C                   F

 C                     Dm             G7

         C      F                  C

Cuz I'm leaving on a jetplane,

                F                 

don't know when I'll be back again.

   Am                   G7

Oh babe I hate to go.

There's so many times I've let you down,

So many times I've played around.

I tell you now that they don't mean a thing.

Every  place I'll go I'll think of you.

Every song I'll sing, I'll sing for you.

When I come back I'll bring your weddingring.

Chorus:

So kiss me....

Now the time has come I'm leaving you.

Just one more time let me kiss you.

Then close your eyes and I'll be on my way.

You can dream about the days to come,

when I won't have to leave alone,

about the times when I won't have to say.

Chorus:

So kiss me....

The Gambler:

     F                           Bb             F

On a warm summer's evening on a train bound for nowhere

  Bb            F                                  C

I met up with a gambler. We were both too tired to sleep.

   F                               Bb            F

So we took turns a starin' out the window at the darkness

     Bb           F          C7          F

till boredom overtook us and he began to speak.

He said, "Son, I've made a life out of readin' people's faces

and knowin' what their cards were by the way they held their eyes.

So if you don't mind my sayin' I can see you're out of aces;

for a taste of your whiskey I'll give you some advice."

So I handed him my bottle, and he drank doen my last swallow.

Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light.

And the night got deathly quiet and his face lost all expression.

Said, "If you're gonna play the game, boy, you gotta learn to play it

right."

CHORUS:

            F                     Bb              F

"You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em.

Bb           F                          C

Know when to walk away and know when to run.

          F     Bb   F                 Bb               F

You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table.

           Bb              F       C7                 F

Ther'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done."

"Ev'ry gambler knows that the secret to survivin'

Is knowin' what to throw away and knowin' what to keep.

'Cause ev'ry hand's a winner, and ev'ry hand's a loser.

And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep."

And when he'd finished speakin' he turned back toward the window.

Crushed ou his cigarette and faded off to sleep.

And somewhere in the darkness the gambler he broke even.

But in his final words I found an ace that I could keep.

(to chorus:)

Well, there it is.
