I'm Not Afraid To Die
A
Nobody knows what waits ahead,
D A
Beyond the earth and sky.
D A E A
La, de-la, de-la, I'm not afraid to die.
And let the work of my own hand,
Be broken by and by.
La, de-la, de-la, I'm not afraid to die
Sometimes it finds me fast asleep,
And wakes me where I lie.
La, de-la, de-la, I'm not afraid to die.
Forget my sins up on the wind,
My hobo soul will ride.
La, de-la, de-la, I'm not afraid to die.
La, de-la, de-la, I'm not afraid to die.

I'm Not Afraid To Die by Gillian Welch
Whiskey your the Devil
Love this song. I'm familiar with the Clancy Brothers version. These chords were adapted from a pogues version.
Whiskey You're The Devil
(Tin flute intro)
D
Now brave boys we're on the march
A G
Off to Portugal and Spain
D
Drums a-beating, banners a-waving
G A
The devil a-home will come tonight
D A
La, fare thee well With me tither-y-eye dum dah
Em G
Me tither-y-eye dum da
D
Me right fol tur-a ladee
A D
Oh, there's whiskey in the jar
Chorus:
D G D
Hey, whiskey you’re the devil You’re leading me astray
D A
O'er hills and mountains into Amerikay
D G D
Your sweetness from the bleachner You're spunkier than tea,
D A D
Ah, whiskey you're me darlin’, drunk or so-ber
The French are fighting boldly
Men are dying hot and coldly
Give every man his flash, gunpowder
His firelock on his shoulder
La, fare thee well With me tither-y-eye dum dah
Me tither-y-eye dum da
Me right fol tur-a ladee
Oh, there's whiskey in the jar
Chorus:
Break: (same as verse)
Chorus:
Says the mother, "Do not wrong me
Don't take me daughter from me
For if you do, I will torment you
And after death me ghost will haunt you"
We're off, fare thee well With me tither-y-eye dum dah
Me tither-y-eye dum da
Me right fol tur-a ladee
Oh, there's whiskey in the jar
Chorus:
Outro: [D,D,A,D]
Lonesome Day by Woody Guthrie.

Today has been a lonesome day
F.................................................C
Today has been a lonesome day
F.................................................C...........amToday has been a lonesome day,

and it looks like tomorrow'll be the same old way.
Did you ever hear a church bell tone?
Did you ever hear a church bell tone?
Did you ever hear a church bell tone?
That's a sign- another good man done gone.
(repeat first verse)
You can dig my grave with a silver spade.
You can dig my grave with a silver spade.
You can dig my grave with a silver spade,
and mark my chain with a golden …(chain?)
(repeat first verse)
I got the chords from Chordie.com , the lyrics I had to write out.
