TOMBSTONE SHADOW

Words and music by John Fogerty

Tombstone Shadow,
stretchin' across my path.
Tombstone Shadow,
stretchin' across my path.
Ev'ry time I get some good news
There's a shadow on my back.

Saw the gypsy man,
'way down in San Berdoo.
Said, I saw the gypsy man,
'way down in San Berdoo.
Five dollars on the table
Keep me 'way from my tomb.

Said I got thirteen months of bad luck,
Bound to be some pain.
Don't you do no trav'lin',
Fly in no machines.
Tombstone Shadow,
stretchin' across my path.
Ev'ry time I get some good news
There's a shadow on my back.

The man gave me a luck charm,
Cost five dollars more,
Said, "Put some on your pillow,
and put some on your door."
He said, "Take a long vacation
For thirteen months or more."

Tombstone Shadow,
stretchin' across my path.
Tombstone Shadow,
stretchin' across my path.
Ev'ry time I get some good news
There's a shadow on my back.

TRAVELIN' BAND

Words and music by John Fogerty

Seven Thirty Seven
comin' out of the sky.
Won't you take me down to Memphis
on a midnight ride,
I wanna move.

CHORUS:
Playin' in a Travelin' Band. Yeah!
Well, I'm flyin' 'cross the land,
try'in' to get a hand,
Playin' in a Travelin' Band.

Take me to the hotel,
Baggage gone, oh, well.
Come on, come on,
won't you get me to my room,
I wanna move.

CHORUS

Listen to the radio,
Talkin' 'bout the last show.
Someone got excited,
Had to call the State Militia,
Wanna move.

CHORUS

Here we come again
on a Saturday night
Oh with your fussin' and a fightin'
Won't you get me to the rhyme,
I wanna move.

CHORUS

I'm playin' in a Travelin' Band;
Playin' in a Travelin' Band.
Won't you get me, take my hand
Well, I'm playin' in a Travelin' Band,
Well, I'm flyin' 'cross the land.
Tryin' to get a hand,
Playin' in a Travelin' Band.

UP AROUND THE BEND

Words and music by John Fogerty

There's a place up ahead
and I'm goin' just as fast as my feet can fly
Come away, come away if you're goin',
leave the sinkin' ship behind.

CHORUS:
Come on the risin' wind,
we're goin' up around the bend.

Bring a song and a smile for the banjo,
better get while the gettin's good,
Hitch a ride to the end of the highway
where the neons turn to wood.

CHORUS

You can ponder perpetual motion,
fix your mind on a crystal day,
Always time for a good conversation,
there's an ear for what you say.

CHORUS

Catch a ride to the end of the highway
and we'll meet by the big red tree,
There's a place up ahead and I'm goin',
come along, come along with me.

CHORUS

WALK ON THE WATER

John Fogerty - Tom Fogerty

Late last night,
I went for a walk,
Down by the river
near my home.
Couldn't believe,
with my own eyes,
And I swear I'll never leave
my home again.

I saw a man
walking on the water.
Coming right at me
from the other side.
Calling out my name;
"Do not be afraid."
Feet begin to run,
pounding in my brain;
I don't want to go;
I don't want to go.

No, no, no, no, a-no
I don't want to go.

WHO'LL STOP THE RAIN

Words and music by John Fogerty

Long as I remember
The rain been comin' down.
Clouds of myst'ry pourin'
Confusion on the ground.
Good men through the ages,
Tryin' to find the sun.
And I wonder,
Still I wonder,
Who'll stop the rain.

I went down Virginia,
Seekin' shelter from the storm.
Caught up in the fable,
I watched the tower grow.
Five year plans and new deals,
Wrapped in golden chains.
And I wonder,
Still I wonder,
Who'll stop the rain.

Heard the singers playin',
How we cheered for more.
The crowd had rushed together,
Tryin' to keep warm.
Still the rain kept pourin',
Fallin' on my ears.
And I wonder,
Still I wonder,
Who'll stop the rain.
