1. Do What You Can  (by Dada Veda)

Good king Rama was building a bridge,building a bridge, building a bridge
Good king Rama was building a bridge one bright and sunny day.
Some monkeys brought big bolders for that bridge, for that bridge, for that bridge
Some monkeys brought big bolders for that bridge one bright and sunny day.

A squirrel brought a pebble for that bridge,for that bridge, for that bridge
A squirrel brought a pebble for that bridge one bright and sunny day.

So do what you can, whenever you can
No matter what people may say
Do what you can whenever you can
Starting from today.

The monkeys started laughing, ha, ha, ha,
ha, ha,ha, ha, ha, ha,
The monkeys started laughing ha, ha, ha
One bright and sunny day.

The squirrel started crying, boo, hoo, hoo
boo, hoo, hoo, boo hoo hoo
The squirrel started crying, boo, hoo, hoo
One bright and sunny day

But do what you can, whenever you can
No matter what people may say
Do what you can whenever you can
Starting from today.

Good king Rama heard that cry
Heard that cry, heard that cry
Good king Rama heard that cry
One bright and sunny day

He took the little squirrel in his palm
In his palm, in his palm
He took the little squirrel in his palm
One bright and Sunny day.

He said do what you can, whenever you can
No matter what people may say
Do what you can whenever you can
Starting from today

Rama stroked the squirrel on its back
On its back, on its back
Rama stroked the squirrel on its back
One bright and sunny day.

And that’s why Indian squirrels have three stripes
Have three stripes, have three stripes
And that’s why Indian squirrels have three stripes
Ever Since that day.

So do what you can, whenever you can
No matter what people may say
Do what you can whenever you can
Starting from today.

2. The Wise One’s Say (by Dada Veda)

E                        A             E
I went through life losing my way,
B7                           E
making mistakes with each passing day.
A                B7      E
Then I stopped and looked around,
A       B7     E
and this is what I found:
E                                         A     E
If you’ve got something good, do it today.
E                                       B7         E
Gonna do something bad, make a delay.
A                       B7           E
This is what the wise one’s say.

I forgot the good advice and got stuck again.
I found myself in a terrible jam.
Then I listened to a little bird,
And this is what I heard:

If you’ve got something good, do it today.
Gonna do something bad, make a delay.
This is what the wise one’s say.

Another day came and another day went,
I finally learned what the good message meant.
Then I made a fateful choice,
To listen to my inner voice, saying:

If you’ve got something good, do it today.
Gonna do something bad, make a delay.
This is what the wise one’s say.

 Chords: If you are having trouble with the B7 chord. You can put a capo on the second fret and play the song with the chords: D, A and G

3. This Little Light of Mine

This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine
This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine
This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.

All around the town, I’m gonna let it shine
All around the town, I’m gonna let it shine
All around the town, I’m gonna let it shine
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.

Everywhere I go, I’m gonna let it shine…

In my daily work,  I’m gonna let it shine…

Hide it under a bushel, no! I’m gonna let it shine…

Spread love around the world, I’m gonna let it shine…

This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine
This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine
This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.

9. Tiny Green Island (by P.R. Sarkar)

I love this tiny green island surrounded by the sea.
I love this tiny green island surrounded by the sea.
Touched by the sea, decorated by sea
Touched by the sea, decorated by sea
I love this tiny green island surrounded by the sea.

Am I a secluded figure?
In the vast a little, a meager?

The Great is with me, the Great is with me.

10. Love is the Best (by Dada Veda and Gustavo Monje)

D                                                  G

I was walking down my street

D                                              G

Looking for folks to greet.

D                                          G

Skipping through the park,

D                        G

Happy as a lark

C              G          D

Then I looked up to the sky

(C)             (G)                 (D)

Watching the birds on high

(C)                           (G)      (D)

And I knew it was time to fly

D          G

That’s why, I love you,

(D)     (G)      (D)     (G)

I love me, I love you

(D)     (G)

I love me

(C)      (G)      (D)      (C)    (G)     (D)

Love is the Best, Love is the Best

 

I was sailing through the seas

Catching the ocean’s breeze

Twisting with the wind,

Watching he clouds roll in.

Then I saw your shining face,

Breaking through the haze,

Brightening up my days

That’s why, I love you,

I love me, I love you

I love me

Love is the Best, Love is the Best

 

I was strumming on my guitar

Gazing at a distant star

Humming a simple tune

and hoping to see you soon.

Then I heard your calling song,

It carry me along with your love so strong.

That’s why, I love you, I love me, I love you, I love me

Love is the best, Love is the Best
