16th Avenue

C G7 C
From the corners of the country from the cities and the farms
Am F C G7
With years and years of living tucked up underneath their arms
Am F C F
They walked away from everything just to see a dream come true
C Am F G7 C
So God bless the boys who make the noise on 16th Av-enue

G7 C
With a million dollar spirit and an old flat top guitar
Am F C G7
They drive to town with all they own in a hundred dollar car
Am F C F
Cause one time someone told them about a friend of a friend they knew

C Am F G7 C
Who owns you know a studio on 16th Av-enue

G7 C
Now some are born to money they never had to say survive
Am F C G7
And others swing a nine-pound hammer just to stay alive
Am F C F
There's cowboys drunks and Christians mostly white and black and blue
C Am F G7 C
They've all dialed the phone direct to home from 16th Av-enue
G7 C
Ah but then one night in some empty room where no curtains ever hung
Am F C G7
Like a miracle some golden words roll off of someone's tongue
Am F C F
And after years of being nothing they're all looking right at you
C Am F G7 C
And there for awhile they'll go in style on 16th Av-enue

G7 C
Hey it looks so uneventful so quiet and discreet
Am F C G7
But a lot of lives were changed there on that little one-way street
Am F C F
Cause they walked away from everything just to see a dream come true
C Am F G7 C
So God bless the boys who make the noise on 16th Av-enue
That Thing With Your Shoulders
Larry Brouhard September 22, 2015
Key of G. 12-bar intro then start voice with chorus.
[C] You did that thing with your shoulders
Put your arms around my neck
And in a New York minute
You rescued this life's train wreck
[G] And from that moment on
What ever bumps along the road
All life's worries gone
Body light with zero load
You did that thing with your shoulders
Put your arms around my neck
And in a New York minute
You rescued this life's train wreck
12-bar guitar break
Troubles come and troubles go
To the depths of hell I send
In my heart the seeds you sow
Spawn a love that has no end
You did that thing with your shoulders
Put your arms around my neck
And in a New York minute
You rescued this life's train wreck
Your tender love inspires
All the good that lives in me
Melts glaciers, starts great fires
They warm the hearts of all who see
12-bar guitar break
You did that thing with your shoulders
Put your arms around my neck
And in a New York minute
You rescued this life's train wreck

By Larry Brouhard
In D 24bar Intro
[D]Many folks [Bm7]go through life
And [G]never do they [A]find
[D]A love who grabs their [Bm7]heart
And [G]leaves the rest [A]behind
[G]I got lucky one [A]afternoon
[G]Love jumped right in my [A]face
I [G]couldn't eat and [A]breath came hard
I [G]stumbled and lost my [A]pace
[G]What in the world is [D]that about?
[F#]The answer a voice with [G]might
[G]She's that one in a [D]million son
Grab [A]hold and hang on [D]tight
[D]You'll never find [Bm7]another
So [G]you'd better treat her [A]well
[D]Nurture love and [Bm7]hold her
Or you're [G]sure to go to [A]hell
And [G]so it is I've [A]done that
In [G]all I do and [A]say
[G]Eleven years have [A]blessed me
[G]Each and every [A]day
Guitar then hook
Hook
So [G]here's to you my [D]darling
You've [F#]filled this empty [G]vessel
You [G] ask me why I [D]love you
[A]You're so bloody fucking [D]special

August 22, 2015
A [A] Smile, a Hug, a [C#m7] Kiss
What could [Bm7] ever surpass [E7] this?
You [A] look me in the [C#m7] eye
True [Bm7] love forever [E] bliss
[D] Always those three to [E] greet
[D] Again when we say so [E] long
[Bm7] Between time oh so [E7] sweet
[D] Little [E] is ever [A] wrong
[A] Long years it took to [C#m7]find
It didn't [Bm7] happen [E7] overnight
And [A] now foremost in [C#m7]mind
To [Bm7] sweet love's [E] might
Chorus
So [D] much I'd love to [E] say
But [D] words are simply [E] masks
Please [Bm7] always let me [E7] love you
My hearts[D,Bm7,E7] the one who [A] asks

 That Girl in There

C,F,C,F, C, F#dim, G7, Am
F,C,F,C,F,F#dim,G7, Am

Across the club, tried not to stare

At the beautiful girl just sitting there
She was on her own so I gave it a try
If she'd turned me down, I'd've had to die.

She toured my soul, saw the anger there

Cracked a smile, ended all despair
She saw something I had lost
Hope returned, two lives crossed

Chorus
She retrieved what I'd stored away
Buried deep for a brighter day
She reached inside, found the rhyme
I'm in her debt, for all timeTo have her near
brings such joy
Once again I'm a little boy
Almost gave up and then somehow
Love found me, Holy Cow.

Chorus
She retrieved what I'd stored away
Buried deep for a brighter day
She reached inside, found the rhyme
I'm in her debt, for all time

Chorus
 Angel on My Shoulder
Larry Brouhard
July 3, 2009

[A]Angel on My [C#m7]Shoulder
[D]More than a mere [A]tattoo
[D]It keeps my heart in [A]focus
[E]Zeroed in on you

[A]I treasure all the [C#m7]love you give

[D]In kisses I do [A]swim
[B7]Every moment that I live
Flows far beyond the [E]brim

Chorus
So [D]angel on my [A]shoulder
[D]Always keep me [A]straight
[D]Birthdays shout, I am [A]older
But [E]you're my heaven's [A]gate.

[A]Your smile pulled my [C#m7]heart

[D]From the depths of [A]despair
[D]Your arms embraced my [A]soul
[E]Allowed me again to care.

[A]Should your smile ever [C#m7]dim

[D]Or your love begin to [A]fade
[B7]I'll cry real tears but not be grim
My life your love did [E]save.

Guitar

Chorus
So [D]angel on my [A]shoulder
[D]Always keep me [A]straight
