“Filk”
Chords: Capo 3 d g em g c g
I know a group of people
Who are not afraid to dream
I know a group of people
Who are not afraid to sing
The music of sci fi fandom
The music of geeks
The music of people
Just like me
Just like me

“On-Line” Chords: D A G
Life can be so hard
Its okay, it’s alright
We all go through ups and downs
Every day every night
When I am at my end
When I don’t want to live
I go and live another life Online
Cause I’m a fighter with great courage
No sick monster can defeat
I’m a mage with great sorcery
That you would like to meet
I’m a private with his gun
Killing lot’s of evil men
I’m maybe nothing in my Real Life
But a guy that likes to have lot’s of fun on-line
I can push boxes for a living
And hate my boss all the day
But when I go and punch that clock
There aint nothing gonna stand in my way
Cause I’m a…
I’m a fighter with great courage
No sick monster can defeat
I’m a mage with great sorcery
That you would like to meet
I’m a private with his gun
Killing lot’s of evil men
I’m maybe nothing in my Real Life
But a guy that likes to have lot’s of fun on-line
Maybe you think that I’m wasting my life
But let me tell you that I’m quite alright
Cause I’m a…
I’m a fighter with great courage
No sick monster can defeat
I’m a mage with great sorcery
That you would like to meet
I’m a private with his gun
Killing lot’s of evil men
I’m maybe nothing in my Real Life
But a guy that likes to have lot’s of fun on-line

“The World is so Full of Wonder”
Capo 3 I: g V: c g PC: d c7 C: g c7 d c7
A strummed guitar
A hybrid car
When dragons soar
A shiny star
A clever rhyme
Keeping time
Orange clouds
And living proud
These things all lead me to believe
That the world the world the world is so full of wonder
The world the world is so full of wonder
It’s up to me and you
To show the world that it’s true
A comic book
A snaky look
Birth of a kid
A tricked out rig
People fly
My momma cried
Going viral
Vampires sparkle
Chorus
A giant bug
A big bear hug
Autographs
Solos and vamps
How I can’t cook
How you look
All your love
I can’t get enough
Chorus

“Everyone needs a hero”
Capo 3 c: c g a am g v: em am pc: g d a
Everyone needs a hero
Someone who will never fail
Everybody needs a hero
Someone you can always count on to prevail
So much of our world is crumbling
There’s so much fail around
We all need a pick me up
A leader to raise up the flag and lead the way
Chorus
There are monsters around every corner
And the boss battles are intense
But with courage they all will fall
And the princess will safely be returned
Chorus

In the Future We’ll all play Acoustic Instruments
Chords: Capo 3 C G (D on the end of the chorus)
When human kind rejects the hatred of science
When the soul of a man is no where to be found
We will take to the skies looking for a fresh start
Without taxes, oppression, and bad music all around
In the future
We’ll all play acoustic instruments
And plow the fields with our bare hands
Men will work; women will cook
We could all die of dysentery
And every night we’ll sleep with a smile
A Smile On our face
Hear the strum of the acoustic guitar
The jingle of the frame drum, played under candle light
Drink a pint and sing of the days work
Know life is better now living without nuclear fright
Chorus

“Gypsy Magic”
Chords: F,C,G,D
I’m a long long way from my home
In a distant land, never to be known
The glamors I wear disguise my face
Keeps me safe, in this strange place
And the Magic, Runs through my veins
I left my home with my sister in tow
Never had a plan, as to where we’d go
From city to city just trying to live
From town to town trying to stay hid
And the Magic, Runs through my veins
We keep these spells in the books that we write
Not knowing if all of them are right
And now we’ve got to keep moving on
And the Magic, Runs through my veins

“When I grow Old”
No Capo D, A, G
We pass our time with magic cards
And music videos we hate
You may think you’ll win
I may let you again
You choose what we watch on tv
It doesn’t matter what it is
As long as you’re next to me
When I grow old, I’ll say a silly joke and you’ll whisper me my name
You’ll flash that pretty smile and laugh even though my joke was lame
Oh how I hope nothing changes when I grow old
Oh how I hope nothing changes when I grow old
Thank you for the love you’ve given me
All this time between now and when I grow old
Thank you for the love you’ve given me
All this time between now and when I grow old
When I grow old, I’ll say a silly joke and you’ll whisper me my name
You’ll flash that pretty smile and laugh even though my joke was lame
Oh how I hope nothing changes when I grow old
Oh how I hope nothing changes when I grow old
