We gather here together with joyful heart and mind
We raise our voices ever, our distant souls to bind
To remember in this moment of friendship love and joy
That music made together may one day heal mankind
To remember in this moment of friendship love and joy
That music made together may one day heal mankind
Refrain Chorus:
This land is your land, this land is my land,
From California, to the New York Island
From the redwood forest, to the Gulf Stream waters
This land was made for you and me
1. As I was walking that ribbon highway,
I saw above me an endless skyway
I saw below me a golden valley,
This land was made for you and me
Refrain Chorus
2. I roamed and rambled I followed my footsteps,
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
And all around me a voice was singing
This land was made for you and me
Refrain Chorus
3. The sun was shining as I was strolling,
Wheat fields waving, dust clouds rolling
A voice was singing, the fog was lifting
This land was made for you and me
Refrain Chorus
by Katharine Lee Bates, Melody by Samuel Ward
O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
O beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife.
Who more than self their country loved
And mercy more than life!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea! From sea to shining sea!

Coffee is not for me
It's a drink some people wake up with
That it makes them nervous is no myth
Slaves to a coffee cup
They can't give coffee up
by George Harrison and the Beatles
Here comes the sun Doo doo doo doo
Here comes the sun and I say
It's alright
Little darling, it's been a long, cold, lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun Doo doo doo doo
Here comes the sun and I say
It's alright
Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun Doo doo doo doo
Here comes the sun and I say
It's alright
Sun, sun, sun
Here it comes x 4
Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear
Here comes the sun Doo doo doo doo
Here comes the sun and I say
It's alright
Here comes the sun Doo doo doo doo
Here comes the sun and I say
It's alright, It's alright
Diatonic - Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do'
Deep down in Louisiana close to New Orleans
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens
There stood a log 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 a 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
Oh, the engineers would see him sitting in the shade
Strumming with the rhythm that the drivers made
People passing by they would stop and say
"Oh my what that little country boy could play"
Go go
Go Johnny go go
Go Johnny go go
Go Johnny go go
Go Johnny go go
Johnny B. Goode
His mother told him "someday you will be a man
And you will be the leader of a big old band
Many people coming from miles around
To hear you play your music when the sun go down
Maybe someday your name will be in lights
Saying "Johnny B. Goode tonight"
Go go
Go Johnny go
Go go go Johnny go
Go go go Johnny go
Go go go Johnny go
Go
Johnny B. Goode

Home on the Range
1.Oh, give me a home where the buffalo roam
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day
Refrain:
Home, home on the range
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day
2. How often at night when the heavens are bright
With the light of the glittering stars
Have I stood there amazed and asked as I gazed
If their glory exceeds that of ours
Refrain:
Home, home on the range………..
3. Then give me a land where the bright diamond sand
Flows leisurely down to the stream
Where the graceful white swan goes gliding along
Like a maid in a heavenly dream
Refrain:
Home, home on the range…………..
4. Where the air is so pure, and the zephyrs so free
The breezes so balmy and light
That I would not exchange my home on the range
For all of the cities so bright
Refrain:
Home, home on the range
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day
Traditional African-American song from the
Georgia Sea Islands
Yonder come day, day is a breakin, yonder come day, oh my soul

Walkin that road I'm feelin fine Yeah!
Yonder come day, day is a breakin, yonder come day, oh my soul
Yonder come day, day is a breakin, sun is a risin in my soul
