Yesterday
The Beatles

Yesterday /e/
All my troubles seemed so far away /ʌ/
Now it looks as though they're here to stay /ʊ/
Oh, I believe in yesterday /i/

Suddenly
I'm not half the man I used to be /ɒ/
There's a shadow hanging over me /æ/
Oh, yesterday came suddenly /ʌ/

Why she had to go /ə/


I don't know, she wouldn't say /əʊ/
I said something wrong /e/
Now I long for yesterday /ɒ/

Yesterday
Love was such an easy game to play /i/
Now I need a place to hide away /i/
Oh, I believe in yesterday /əʊ/

Why she had to go /ə/


I don't know, she wouldn't say /əʊ/
I said something wrong /ɒ/
Now I long for yesterday /aʊ/

Yesterday
Love was such an easy game to play /ʌ/
Now I need a place to hide away /ə/
Oh, I believe in yesterday /ɪ/
Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm
The Sound of Silence
Disturbed

Hello darkness, my old friend /əʊ/


I've come to talk with you again /ʌ/
Because a vision softly creeping /i/
Left its seeds while I was sleeping /e/
And the vision that was planted in my brain /ʒ/
Still remains /eɪ/
Within the sound of silence /aʊ/

In restless dreams I walked alone /i/


Narrow streets of cobblestone /æ/
'Neath the halo of a street lamp /æ/
I turned my collar to the cold and damp /əʊ/
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light /aɪ/
That split the night /æ/
And touched the sound of silence /aɪ/

And in the naked light, I saw /ɔ/


Ten thousand people, maybe more /i/
People talking without speaking /ɔ/
People hearing without listening /aʊ/
People writing songs that voices never share /ɒ/
And no one dared /eə/
Disturb the sound of silence /ɜ/

"Fools", said I, "You do not know /u/


Silence like a cancer grows /æ/
Hear my words that I might teach you /i/
Take my arms that I might reach you" /eɪ/
But my words, like silent raindrops fell /eɪ/
And echoed /əʊ/
In the wells of silence /e/

And the people bowed and prayed /aʊ/


To the neon god they made /eɪ/
And the sign flashed out its warning /ɔ/
In the words that it was forming /æ/
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets /e/
are written on the subway walls /ɔ/
And tenement halls" /e/
And whispered in the sound of silence /ə/
Perhaps Love
John Denver

Perhaps love is like a resting place /æ/


A shelter from the storm /ɔ/
It exists to give you comfort /ʌ/
It is there to keep you warm /ɔ/
And in those times of trouble /ʌ/
When you are most alone /əʊ/
The memory of love will bring you home /e/

Perhaps love is like a window /ʌ/


Perhaps an open door /ɔ/
It invites you to come closer /aɪ/
It wants to show you more /əʊ/
And even if you lose yourself /u/
And don't know what to do /əʊ/
The memory of love will see you through /u/

Oh, love to some is like a cloud /aɪ/


To some as strong as steel /ɒ/
For some a way of living /ɪ/
For some a way to feel /i/
And some say love is holding on /ʌ/

And some say letting go /e/


And some say love is everything /eɪ/
And some say they don't know /əʊ/

Perhaps love is like the ocean /ɪ/


Full of conflict, full of pain /eɪ/
Like a fire when it's cold outside /aɪ/
Or thunder when it rains /eɪ/
If I should live forever /ə/
And all my dreams come true /ɔ/
My memories of love will be of you /ɪ/

And some say love is holding on /əʊ/


And some say letting go /ɪ/
And some say love is everything /ɪ/
And some say they don't know /əʊ/

Perhaps love is like the ocean /ʃ/


Full of conflict, full of pain /ɒ/
Like a fire when it's cold outside /əʊ/
Or thunder when it rains /e/
If I should live forever /ɪ/
And all my dreams come true /u/
My memories of love will be of you /aɪ/

Will of the Wind


Jamie Rivera

I've spent half my life /aɪ/


Looking for the reasons things must change /ʊ/
And half my life trying to make them stay the same /ə/,/eɪ/
But love would fade like summer into fall /ʌ/
All that I could see was a mystery /ə/
It made no sense at all /eɪ/

The will of the wind, you feel it and then /ɪ/


It will pass you blowing steady /ɑ/
It comes and it goes and God only knows /əʊ/
You must keep your sails on ready /ə/
So when it begins, get all that you can /æ/
You must be friend, the will of the wind /ɪ/

I've spent so many hours /əʊ/


Thinking 'bout the way things might have been. /i/
And so many hours trying to bring the good times back again /e/
And so it goes for lonely hearted fools /u/
They let their days slip away /eɪ/
Until they give into /ə/

The will of the wind, you feel it and then


It will pass you blowing steady /əʊ/
It comes and it goes and God only knows /ʌ/
You must keep your sails on ready /eɪ/
So when it begins, get all that you can /ɪ/
You must be friend, the will of the wind /e/

So when it begins, get all that you can /əʊ/


You must be friend, the will of the wind /ə/
Beautiful Sunday
Daniel Boone

Sunday morning, up with the lark /ʌ/


I think I'll take a walk in the park /ɔ/
Hey hey hey, it's a beautiful day /eɪ/
I've got someone waiting for me /ɒ/
And when I see her I know that she'll say /e/
Hey hey hey, what a beautiful day /ɒ/

Hi hi hi, beautiful Sunday /fl/


This is my my my beautiful day
When you said said said said that you loved me /ʌ/
Oh my my my its a beautiful day /ə/

Birds are singing, you by my side /ɜ/


Let’s take a car and go for a ride /eɪ/
Hey hey hey, it's a beautiful day /eɪ/
We'll drive on and follow the sun /aɪ/
Making Sunday go on and on /eɪ/
Hey hey hey it's a beautiful day /ɪ/
Hi hi hi, beautiful Sunday
This is my my my beautiful day /ɪ/
When you said said said said that you loved me /æ/
Oh my my my its a beautiful day /əʊ/

Hi hi hi, beautiful Sunday /eɪ/


This is my my my beautiful day /ɪ/
When you said said said said that you loved me /u/
Oh my my my its a beautiful day /eɪ/

Hi hi hi, beautiful Sunday /fl/

Vincent
Don McLean

Starry, starry night /s/


Paint your palette blue and gray /ɡ/
Look out on a summer's day /s/
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul /əʊ/
Shadows on the hills /æ/
Sketch the trees and the daffodils /tʃ/
Catch the breeze and the winter chills /æ/
In colors on the snowy, linen land /sn/

Now, I understand what you tried to say to me /ʌ/


And how you suffered for your sanity /æ/
And how you tried to set them free /aɪ/
They would not listen, they did not know how /eɪ/
Perhaps they'll listen now /ð/, /l/

Starry, starry night /aɪ/


Flaming flowers that brightly blaze /eɪ/
Swirling clouds in violet haze /z/
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue /tʃ/

Colors changing hue /u/


Morning fields of amber grain /ɔ/
Weathered faces lined in pain /ð/
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand /ð/

Now, I understand, what you tried to say to me /w/


How you suffered for your sanity /f/
How you tried to set them free /i/
They would not listen, they did not know how /ʊ/
Perhaps they'll listen now /s/

For they could not love you /eɪ/


But still your love was true /z/
And when no hope was left inside /w/
On that starry, starry night /ðæt/

You took your life as lovers often do /ʊ/


But I could have told you, Vincent /əʊ/
This world was never meant for one /w/
As beautiful as you /b/

Starry, starry night /ri/


Portraits hung in empty halls /ŋ/
Frameless heads on nameless walls /fr/
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget /z/

Like the strangers that you've met /dʒ/


The ragged men in ragged clothes /ð/
The silver thorn of bloody rose /v/
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow /ʃ/
Now, I think I know what you tried to say to me /θ/
How you suffered for your sanity /f/
How you tried to set them free /ð/
They would not listen, they're not listening still /ð/
Perhaps they never will /w/

Rhythm of the Rain


The Cascades

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain /ɪ/


Telling me just what a fool I've been /ʌ/
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain /eɪ/
And let me be alone again /ə/

The only girl I care about has gone away /ɒ/


Looking for a brand new start /u/
But little does she know that when she left that day /ʌ/
Along with her she took my heart /ɑ/

Rain please tell me now does that seem fair /eɪ/


For her to steal my heart away when she don't care? /i/
I can't love another when my hearts somewhere far away /ər/

The only girl I care about has gone away /keə/


Looking for a brand new start /ræ/
But little does she know that when she left that day /ʌz/
Along with her she took my heart /aɪ/

Rain won't you tell her that I love her so /ʌv/


Please ask the sun to set her heart aglow /ɑːs/
Rain in her heart and let the love we knew start to grow /əʊ/

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain /rɪ/


Telling me just what a fool I've been /dʒʌ/
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain /raɪ/
And let me be alone again /et/

Oh, listen to the falling rain /n/


Pitter patter, pitter patter
Oh, oh, oh, listen to the falling rain /ɪs/
Pitter patter, pitter patter /ər/
