On the Open Road

      D#

      D#                      G#
Do ya long to shed your weary load?
        A#
If your nerves are raw and your brain is fried, just grab a friend and take a ride
  A#                   D#
Together upon the open road
C'mon, Maxie! Ah-yuk!

       D#                   
All in all, I'd rather have detention
       D#                    G#
All in all, I'd rather eat a toad
        A#
And the old man drives like such a klutz, that I'm about to hurl my guts
  A#              D#
Directly upon the road

        G#      
There's nothin' can upset me
       Gm
'Cause now we're on our way
    G#                                    D#
Our trusty map will guide us straight and true

   G#        
Roxanne, please don't forget me
  Gm
I will return someday
       F                           A#
Though I may be in traction when I do

(Goofy & Max sing at the same time)
       D#                                     D#
Me and Max relaxin' like the old days/This is worse than dragon breath and acne
     D#                  G#          G#
In a buddy-buddy kind of mode/I'm so mad I think I may explode
       A#
When I see that highway, I could cry
   A#
Ya know, that's funny, so could I
     A#                    D#
Just bein' out on the open road

(Interlude: D# E A)

       A
Howdy, boys, is this the way to Nashville? 
          A                         D
Watch it, Mac! Or you'll be gettin' towed
    E
I'm in no hurry to arrive, 'cause I'll be turnin' sixty-five
    E                         A
The next time I sees the open road

       A#
Just a week of rest and relaxation (Yeah!)
        A#               D#
And the odd romantic episode (Very odd!)
         F
And it's Californ-I-A or bust!
     F
Look out, you dirtbags, eat my dust
     F                      A#
From now on, I own the open road!

     G#                      Gm
Just me and little Maxie, my pip-squeak pioneer
        G#                        D#
They're partners forever westward ho! Yeehaw!
      G#                       Gm
Could someone call a taxi, and get me outta here
   F                     A# C
To Beverly Hills 9-0-2-1-0  Oh!

      F         
Every day another new adventure
      F            A#
Every mile another new zip code
        C
And the years we had are gone for good
    C#
And I'd go with them if I could
     C
I've got no strings on me
    C#
I'm feelin' fancy-free
    C
How wonderful to be
            F    (C F C F C F)
On the open road!

And it goes from here to the-re.
         Em              D
And they say you carry a heavy load,

When you're rollin' down the line some-where.

And I've never soared where the hawk may soar,

Max: Still whatever mess I land in,

Monster Mash

[Verse 1]
G
I was working in the lab late one night,
Em
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight.
C
For my monster from his slab began to rise,
D
And suddenly to my surprise.

[Chorus]
G
He did the mash, he did the monster mash.
Em
The monster mash, it was a graveyard smash.
C
He did the mash, it caught on in a flash.
D
He did the mash, he did the monster mash.

[Verse 2]
From my laboratory in the castle east,
To the master bedroom where the vampires feast.
The ghouls all came from their humble abodes,
To catch a jolt from my electrodes.

[Chorus]
G
He did the mash, he did the monster mash.
Em
The monster mash, it was a graveyard smash.
C
He did the mash, it caught on in a flash.
D
He did the mash, he did the monster mash.

[Chorus 2]
C D
The zombies were having fun..The party had just begun.
C D
The guests included Wolf Man..Dracula and his son.

[Verse 3]
The scene was rockin', all were digging the sounds,
Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds.
The Coffin-Bangers were about to arrive,
With their vocal group, "The Crypt-Kicker Five."

[Chorus]
G
He did the mash, he did the monster mash.
Em
The monster mash, it was a graveyard smash.
C
He did the mash, it caught on in a flash.
D
He did the mash, he did the monster mash.

[Verse 4]
Out from his coffin, Drac's voice did ring.
Seems he was troubled by just one thing.
He opened the lid and shook his fist,
And said, "Whatever happened to my Transylvanian Twist?"

[Chorus]
G
It's now the mash..It's now the monster mash.
Em
The monster mash..and it's a graveyard smash.
C
It's now the mash..It caught on in a flash.
D
It's now the mash..It's now the monster mash.

[Verse 5]
Now everything's cool, Drac's a part of the band,
And my monster mash is the hit of the land.
For you, the living, this mash was meant too,
When you get to my door, tell them Boris sent you.

[Chorus] X2
G
Then you can mash..then you can monster mash.
Em
The monster mash..And do my graveyard smash.
C
Then you can mash..You'll catch on in a flash,
D
Then you can mash..Then you can monster mash.

Big Rock Candy Mountains

[Verse 1]
G
One evening as the sun went down
C G
And the jungle fires were burning,
G
Down the track came a hobo hiking,
C G
And he said, "Boys, I'm not turning
C G C G
I'm headed for a land that's far away
G D
Besides the crystal fountains
G
So come with me, we'll go and see
C G
The Big Rock Candy Mountains

[Verse 2]
G
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains,
C G
There's a land that's fair and bright,
C G
Where the handouts grow on bushes
C D
And you sleep out every night.
G
Where the boxcars all are empty
C G
And the sun shines every day
C G
And the birds and the bees
C G
And the cigarette trees
C G
The lemonade springs
C G
Where the bluebird sings
D G
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.

[Verse 3]
G
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
C G
All the cops have wooden legs
C G
And the bulldogs all have rubber teeth
C D
And the hens lay soft-boiled eggs
G
The farmers' trees are full of fruit
C G
And the barns are full of hay
C G
Oh I'm bound to go
C G
Where there ain't no snow
C G
Where the rain don't fall
C G
The winds don't blow
D G
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.

[Verse 4]
G
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
C G
You never change your socks
C G
And the little streams of alcohol
C D
Come trickling down the rocks
G
The brakemen have to tip their hats
C G
And the railway bulls are blind
C G
There's a lake of stew
C G
And of whiskey too
C G
You can paddle all around it
C G
In a big canoe
D G
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

[Verse 5]
G
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains,
C G
The jails are made of tin.
C G
And you can walk right out again,
C D
As soon as you are in.
G
There ain't no short-handled shovels,
C G
No axes, saws nor picks,
C G
I'm bound to stay
C G
Where you sleep all day,
C G
Where they hung the jerk
C G
That invented work
D G
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.

[Outro]
C G C G
I'll see you all this coming fall
D G
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
