957- The Apple Cart ©2024 by Rob Lincoln (No Capo)
Inro-G E 4x
G E G E
Should you upset the apple cart
A D
The worms they might be crying
And the apples fall into the road
And keep people from driving

Chorus
C G C D
And Eve she ate one long ago but so did Adam too
C Em
The serpent might be still around
F D
What is his point of view?

If you upset the apple cart
You will not stop the lying
And rodents they will move right in
You know that they are trying

Chorus
Instrumental verse and chorus lead

Bridge
Bm G Bm A
Apples came and apples went they filled the apple cake
Bm G F D
Apples worked just fine for me had enough to bake

Want to upset the apple cart?
Do you know what you are doing?
Are you just rotten to the core?
How many are you fooling?

Chorus
Repeat
The serpent might be still around
What is his point of view? Outro is intro but end on G

956- Serenity ©2024 by Rob Lincoln (Capo 5)
G D A
I once dreamed in color
Then it went away
I didn’t realize it happened
F G A
Till sometime today

I saw you in the mirror
I thought it could be me
Then I found the secret
And learned of what must be

Chorus
C G
Just let go of what I know
F D
And what I hoped to see
C G
And just agree what still is me
F G A
And find serenity

I saw her in the window
I saw her with eyes closed
I heard her with the pin drop
All the time there I suppose

Chorus- F G A F G D A
Bridge--- Serenity Serenity Serenity

The end is the beginning
The middle is no more
The hundred different chances
Have fallen by the score
Chorus


The third song is an REM song Stipe/Buck
