She Was Young Bm A She was young 21 from Melbourne Bm A Saw an ad in the paper made the call Bm A Those few lines they beckoned her to London G A Bm A Without looking back she was gone gone gone G A Bm Without looking back she was gone When the boat landed she was filled with wonder London’s city lights had never shone so bright She worked long and hard with the children A job that would take her far and wide wide wide A job that would take her far and wide Skipping back and forth out of Geneva Money’s gone her shoes were full of holes She hitched a ride in a black Mercedes Roaring down the icy winding road road road Roaring down the icy winding road She met a man one fine day in Munich They’d grown up not so far apart Talk about degrees of separation It was the city of her Love love love It was the city of her Love She was young 21, she was a traveller 14 years abroad opened her eyes It was a job that she got from the paper One choice one call one chance that changed her life life life It was a chance to change her life

Voice for the Voiceless D At 6 o’clock each morning, she gets the wake up call D Forbidden fruit and the feeding bell the colors rise and fall D Watching out her window, she never feels alone G Em D Nature’s conversation is where she feels at home Chorus: G Em D She’s a voice for the voiceless… G Em D Giving choice to the choiceless C G Em D You’re never alone when you’re doing what’s right Nesting in the rosemary right by her back door 31 days of waiting, they don’t stay here any more She walked them through the garden and across the busy road A line of little travellers finding their way home. Waking up one morning it looked like it had snowed Outside in was inside out tissues overflowed If he hadn’t used up nine lives, I think he had by then Sleeping in the bookshelf to catch the sun again

The World has Changed Capo on 5th fret G Em C D Growing up with my family, in a quieter time G Em C D Sit around the fireplace talk into the night Am C G Em The television came and we pushed the chairs right back C D G Like the curtain closing at the end of an act Chorus: G Em Am C D She said, the World has changed since I was your age x 2 Am D G Em You say you spend time with each other but you’ve never been more apart C D G Get your minds together go back to the start I’ve seen so many changes since I was your age Every day it seems to me, we write a brand new page Everyone’s looking down and I just want to say Lift your head up high cos it’s a wonderful day No internet, no takeaway food, no supermarkets, no being rude, No refrigerators or telephones, you couldn’t keep ice cream at home Life was different way back then, we seemed to have more time for friends. But you know it will be alright in the end.

Don’t Turn Your Back E A Born and raised in Cleveland Ohio E A With seven brothers and three sisters was all about survival E A Drive down in our wagon and we’d gather up the bread, E A Dumped there by the big old trucks, in a big old shed Chorus: B E Don’t turn your back for a moment, or the food will be gone A E Gone Gone, The food will be gone The family was so big they had to eat in shifts, Tyre tracks on the loaves of bread didn’t matter a bit But the bread had a special smell that wouldn’t go away It stayed inside our bodies and came right out to stay The bully Clifford Bueller, he was big and dumb He’d try to push the kids around he wondered where the smell came from The tyres burning down the road, she’d always say Buy him off in lollies and send him on his way Too much of anything, can be bad for you But when you haven’t got that much there’s not much you can do Always eat the leftovers even okra soup, Reading late for Sundaes An innocence of youth
