 Gentlemen, Start Your Engines  [Mydland/Barlow] 

        It's three AM in the combat zone. 
        Gentlemen start your engines! 
        They can close this bar, but baby I ain't goin. 
        Gentlemen start your engines! 
        If you lock up the whiskey, give me gasoline. 
        I got a seven grand redline on the black machine. 
        The dead can do my sleepin', if you know what I mean. 
        Gentlemen start your engines! 
        Ge-Ge-Ge-Gentlemen start your engines! 
        Gentlemen start 
        Gentlemen start 
        Ge-Ge-Ge-Gentlemen start your engines! 

        Got a little girl here in a pinafore dress. 
        Gentlemen start your engines! 
        She's got more tricks than you can guess. 
        Gentlemen start your engines! 
        It's dark outside, but it's darker within. 
        Check the back of my jacket just to see my grin. 
        They don't write pomes about the state I'm in. 
        Gentlemen start your engines! 
        Ge-Ge-Ge-Gentlemen start your engines! 
        Gentlemen start 
        Gentlemen start 
        Ge-Ge-Ge-Gentlemen start your engines! 

        Bridge 1: 
        One of these days I'm gonna pull myself togeather. 
        Soon as I finish tearin' myself apart 
        Like the Devil's Mustangs, 
        I've been ridin' hell for leather, 
        Put away wet and angry in the dark. 

        When the police come you better let 'em in, 
        Gentlemen start your engines! 
        Don't forget to tell 'em what a sport I've been. 
        Gentlemen start your engines! 
        I got a head full of vintage TNT, 
        They're gonna blow me up 'stead of burying me. 
        If you're lookin' for trouble come and sit with me. 
        Gentlemen start your engines! 
        Ge-Ge-Ge-Gentlemen start your engines! 
        Gentlemen start 
        Gentlemen start 
        Ge-Ge-Ge-Gentlemen start your engines! 

        Bridge 2: 
        One of these days I'm gonna pull myself togeather. 
        Soon as I finish tearin' myself apart 
        Let me tell you, honey, 
        There's some mighty stormy weather 
        Howlin' round the caverns of my heart. 
 

 Get Back  [Lennon/McCartney] 

        JoJo was a man who thought he was a woman, 
        But he knew it couldn't last 
        JoJo left his home in Tucson, Arizona for some California grass. 
        Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged 
        Get back JoJO, go home, get back, get back Joe 

        Sweet Loretta Molin thought she was a woman, 
                                                                       but she was another man 
        All the other girls around here said she's got it coming 
        But she gets it while she can. 
        Oh, get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged 
        Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged 
        Get back Loretta, go home, 
        Get back to where you where you once belonged 
        Get back, your mommy's waiting for you 
        Wearing her high heeled shoes and her low neck sweater, 
        Get back home Loretta 
 

 Get Out Of My Life  [?] 

        Get out of my life woman, I don't want you no more. 
        Get out of my life woman, I don't love you no more. 
        Get out of my life woman, nothin' but heartaches by the score. 

        Get out of my eyes teardrops, I've got to see my way around. 
        Get out of my eyes teardrops, I've got to see my way around. 
        Get out of my eyes teardrops, nothin' but heartaches by the pound.

 The Golden Road  [McGannahan Skjellyfetti] (GDA) 

        See that girl, barefootin' along, 
        Whistlin' and singin', she's a carryin' on. 
        There's laughing in her eyes, dancing in her feet, 
        She's a neon-light diamond, she can live on the street. 

        Hey hey, hey, come right away 
        Come and join the party every day. 

        Well everybody's dancin' in a ring around the sun 
        Nobody's finished, we ain't even begun. 
        So take off your shoes, child, and take off your hat. 
        Try on your wings and find our where it's at. 

        Hey hey, hey, come right away 
        Come and join the party every day. 

        Take a vacation, fall out for a while, 
        Summer's comin' in, and it's goin' outa style

        Cause your mother's down in Memphis, won't be back 'till the fall. 

        Hey hey, hey, come right away 
        Come and join the party every day. 
 

 Gomorrah  [Garcia/Hunter] 

        Just a song of Gomorrah, I wonder what they did  there 
        Must've been a bad thing to get shot down for 
        I wonder how they blew it up or if they burned it down 
        Get out, get out Mr. Lot and don't you look around. 

        Who gave you your orders, someone from the sky 
        I heard a voice inside my head in the desert wind so dry 

        [Bridge] 
        I heard a voice tellin' me to flee the very same voice 
        I always believe 
        Said alot of trouble's comin', but it don't have to come to you 
        I'm telling you so you can tell the rest what you've been through. 

        Don't you turn around, no, don't look after you 
        It's not your business how it's done, you're lucky to get through 
        You're a good upstanding man, a credit to the flock 
        But if you don't face straight ahead you could not take the shock 
        Blew the city off the map, left nothing there but fire 
        The wife of Lot got turned to salt, because she looked behind her.

 Good Times Blues (Never Trust A Woman)  [Mydland] 

        Gonna see some good times, 
        Gonna get to ring that bell. 
        Gonna see some good times, 
        Some times to make up for when 
        I'm not feelin' that well. 
        I must be due some great times, 
        'Cause right now I feel like hell. 

        Never trust a woman, 
        Who wears her pants too tight. 
        Never trust a woman, 
        Who wears her pants too tight. 
        She may be back tomorrow, 
        She'll be gone tomorrow night. 

        Come tomorrow, I'll get my pay, 
        And I'm gonna leave this town, 
        Come tomorrow, I'll get my pay, I'll get my pay, 
        And I'm gonna leave this God damn town. 
        If she don't really love me, 
        There ain't no reason to stick around. 

        Gonna see some good times, 
        Gonna get to ring that bell. 
        Gonna see some good times, 
        Oh, some times to make up for when 
        I'm not feelin' that well. 
        Must be due some great times, 
        But if they never come around, 
        Oh, oh what the, if they never, come around, 
        Never, never ever, ever, ever, come around, 
        Oh, what the hell. 
 

 Got My Mojo Working  [P.Foster] 

        I got my mojo working, just don't work on you 
        Some time, child, I just don't know what to do 
        Let it work, let it, when it's 
        When it's, work all day, all day, all day, work, work, work. 
 

 Greatest Story Ever Told  [Weir/Hart/Hunter] 

        Moses come ridin' up on a quasar. 
        His spurs was a-jingling, the door was ajar. 
        His buckle was silver, his manner was bold. 
        And I asked him to come on in  out of the cold. 

        His brain was boiling, his reason was spent. 
        Nothing is borrowed, nothing is lent. 
        I asked him for mercy, he gave me a gun. 
        Now and again these things just got to be done. 

        [Bridge] 
        Abraham and Isaac sitting on a fence 
        You'd get right to work if you had any sense 
        You know the one thing we need is a left-handed monkey wrench. 

        Gideon come in with his eyes on the floor 
        Says, "You ain't got a hinge, you can't close the door." 
        Moses stood up a full six foot and ten 
        Says, "You can't close the door when the walls caved in." 

        I ask him for water, he poured me some wine 
        We finished the bottle then broke into mine. 
        You get what you come for, you're ready to go 
        And it's one in ten thousand done come for the show. 

        [Bridge] 
        Abraham and Isaac digging on a well 
        Mama come quick with the water witch spell 
        Cool clear water well you cain't ever tell. 

         Jam on half-verse chords 

        [Bridge] 
        Abraham and Isaac sitting on a fence 
        You'd get right to work if you had any sense 
        You know the one thing we need is a left-handed monkey wrench. 
 
 

 Green, Green Grass of Home  [C.Putman] 

        The old home town looks the same as I step off the train 
        Meeting every train in my mind's eye till the man in mail came 
        Hair like gold, lips like cherry 
        It's good to touch the green, green grass of home 
        Green, green grass of home, green green grass of home. 

        Only dream I know of is to be found hair like gold, 
        Lips like a cherry 
        It's good to touch the green, green grass of home 
        They'll all come to greet me, on the steps of my sweet dream 
        It's good I dreamt the green, green grass of home 
        I wait and look around me at the broken walls that surround me 
        And out here I was on the ground. 

        There's a garden in the path of progress 
        Unharmed through winter's day break 
        Then I'll touch the green, green grass of home 
        They'll all come to greet me from the chains of the old dark hollow 

        The green, green grass of home 
        They'll all come to greet me on the steps, my sweet dream
