Song
The technique used is travis picking, which is very extensively used in country,
american folk and bluegrass music. Worth checking out some lessons on it if you´re not already
familiar, very adaptive and useful style of playing chords and relatively easy to get
into. It takes practise though :-)
So, here it is:
I can't spare a moment for the dog faced boy
I won't lend another hand to the worm girl of Hanoi
Don't deplete my oxygen for the guy who's turning blue
But ask me, and I'll do anything for you
Whenever I think of you it only makes me feel sad
Whenever I think of you, the best friend I ever had...
Before I gave it up all for nothing
C (alternating C/G bass)
Well, I lied and I cheated
And it made me feel bad
It made me feel guilty for not being true
Oh the months I spend trying for a way to explain
In the end all I could do as turn my head in shame
Whenever I think of you, oh darling, it only makes me feel sad
Because you deserve better and once I was it
But somehow my good intentions just got up and git
So I can´t spare a moment on the dog faced boy
I won´t lend another hand to the worm girl of Illinois
I can´t deplete my oxygen for the one guy who´s turning blue
But ask me, and I`ll do anything for you
