POLITICAL --------- Spirit of the West album: Labour Day (this also appears on Go Figure, but it is a bit different) transcribed by Tim Campbell tcampbel@gpu.srv.ualberta.ca
CI was tired of being Csus2put right down by my Fself for not being what you thought you had found CPulled hard in Csus2two directions by a Fdesire to learn and my old affections CWhen I tried to share my Csus2world with you Fyou could not seem to tolerate the Cpeople I have Csus2grown to love FThey shrank under your scrutiny, became the ones you'd hate, why did
CHORUS:
Ceverything, Csus2every little thing, every little thing with you and Fme have to be so political CEverything, Csus2every little thing, every little thing with you and F F C ( Csus2 F F C Csus2 F C G )* me had to be so political
* (fill not played before third verse)
CI was feeling a little Csus2underwhelmed about Fhanging 'round with you and feeling over-cautious CEvery word, every little look, every littlCsus2e sign, every little Fphrase put me deeper in your doghouse CYou'd let me out to run Csus2across your world, I Fran into a wall, you told me I built it then you'd CReel me in, ream me Csus2out, pick me up, push me Fout again, and then repeat, why did
CHORUS
GToo busy tripping on my tongue, to Ftry and stand my ground I can Gstill see myself crying in your lap asking Fyou
"Are you happy with the man you have found?" HARMONICA SOLO: C Csus2 F F (repeated 4 times)
CI'm grateful for what you Csus2did for me I can Fsee things now I never would have seen And toCday I thought about what Csus2could have been but could FNever be for you and me because
