Date: Mon, 24 Jul 1995 12:49:26 +0800 (WST) --------------------------------- IT'S NO GOOD TRYING - Syd Barrett --------------------------------- transcribed by Greg O'Beirne (gobeirne@tartarus.uwa.edu.au) (This is the solo acoustic version found on Track 15 of "The Madcap Laughs" disc of the Crazy Diamond box set. It was recorded on 11th April, 1969, at Abbey Road Studios, London. It's virtually the same chords that he played on "No Good Trying" on the original "The Madcap Laughs" album, but the bass on that track implies slightly different chords and spacings. All the chords on this version are to be played as standard E-form barre(tt) chords. Just adlib during the E section between each verse for a random number of bars...)
It's Gno good trying to place your hand where I can't see because I Dunderstand that you're Adifferent from me
yes I can tell
that you can't be what you preDtend and you're Grocking me backwards and you're A#rocking towards the Cred and yellow mane of a Dstallion horse.
E
It's Gno good trying to hold your love where I can't see because I Dunderstand that you're Adifferent from me
yes I can tell
that you can't be what you preDtend the Gcaterpillar hood won't A#cover the head of you Cknow you should be Dhome in bed.
E
It's Gno good holding your sequin fan where I can't see because I Dunderstand that you're Adifferent from me
yes I can tell
that you can't be what you preDtend yes you're Gspinning around and aA#round in a car with eClectric lights flashing very Dfast...
