***COWBOY MOUTH****

I saw that you had "Light it on fire" and "How do you tell someone"
listed, but when I tried to open them, it said the file contained no data.
Since I sent them in a while back (I assume it was my postings which
should be listed there), here are the two songs and some others...

"How do you tell someone" by Cowboy Mouth
Written and sung by Fred LeBlanc
>From the MCA album "Are you with me?"
Previously released on the Monkey Hill/Ichiban "It Means Escape"
- - -

This song is really very simple, and only uses G, C, D, and Em. However,
they use a cheating C (C9?) and put the 3rd finger on the 2nd string, not
the first, for the G.
G = 320030 C=032030 D=000232 Em=022000
This way, (Except for Em), the 3rd finger stays planted the whole song.

G D C G
Tina says "don't talk to me like I am deaf and dumb
G D C D
we've broken down and broken up so much that I am numb
G D C G
talk about, don't shout about, the people we've become"
G C D G
There's a little girl who's crying over here.

Note that lines 2 and 4 are different from 1 & 3, which are the same.

Each verse is the same.


Chorus:
Em C D
Did you ever know me, I swear that I have tried
(repeat this pattern 3 times)

G C D
How do you tell someone you don't love them?
G C D
How do you tell someone you don't care anymore?
G C D C
How do you tell someone you don't love them anymore?


Bridge:
Em D C
Fighting makes me tired
(repeat pattern 4 times)
