If Only Kilroy Were Still Here 2/22/2019 G Am C G G Am C G Em C G D G Am C G Capo3 Bb Lately I been thinking So many things today have changed That which I've always believed in Brushed aside with disdain Ignored by left wing demagoguery Fed by ignorance and fear Little progress we have made hence Ahh, if only Kilroy were still here Guitar break Am Em Am C G Things we once thought were crazy Now becoming the new norm Love of Country, God and Freedom Left to wither in the storm And the things they preach in school No child should ever have to hear Oft repeated lies becoming truth Ahh, if only Kilroy were still here Guitar break Am Em Am C G Hitler thought Kilroy was a spy From Anzio to Normandy With the spirit of do or die He fought to keep our country free Kilroy always left his humble mark At his every port of call They say Stalin met him in a restroom Ahh Didn't recognize him at all Guitar break Am Em Am C G America besieged from within Ambition, ignorance and greed Khrushchev threatened they would bury us This is how he said it'd be America's built for endurance To carry on and persevere I know we're gonna make it Ahh I think Kilroy he's still here! From our dead hands they'll have to take it Ahh Cause Old Kilroy he's still here! Na na na na na na na na Na na na na na na na Na na na na na na na na Ahh Old Kilroy he's still here! I know we're gonna make it Cause Old Kilroy he's still here! Copyright 2019 Michael J McNulty

No One Listens Anymore 3/13/2019 G C G Em C G D G Been trying all my life To write a simple song Emulating heroes From a youth gone far too long Finally felt myself a journeyman Something lyrical to say With my music overflowing And no place left to play Chorus C G Em D C Em G D G Someone should have told me Folks don't listen anymore To the muses of humanity Like they used to do before They've barely time for sound bytes Even closed the record store Won't someone try and tell me why No one listens anymore G C G Em C G D G Don't know exactly when The day the music died Hadn't really noticed Like the falling of the tide Rhythm without substance Filled with mindless syncope Generations without music Such a sad sad way to be Chorus/Harmonica C G Em D C Em G D G G C G Em C G D G The perennial millennial Seems not to realize The need to build one's own life To be truly satisfied Music from computers So impersonal and benign Can only be the product Of the dulling of the mind C G Em D C Em G D G Someone should have told me Folks don't listen anymore To the muses of humanity Like they used to do before They've barely time for sound bytes Even closed the record store Won't someone try and tell me why No one listens anymore 2nd Chorus C G Em D C Em G D Em G D G Someone should have told me Folks don't listen anymore To the muses of humanity Like they used to do before They've barely time for sound bytes Even closed the record store Won't someone try and tell me why No one listens anymore Won't someone try and tell me why No one listens anymore Copyright 2019 Michael J McNulty
