Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
I saw him play live about a month ago, so I am pretty sure that this tab is right. I
know the actual names of all the chords but I tabbed them out. The whole song is played
a basic folk strum pattern with thumbing the base note. If you listen to the song, it is
to pick up. This is a great song from a greatly under-appreciated artist.

Relationships, I don't know why,
Am G7
they never work out and make you cry,
F/G G C
But the guy that says goodbye to you is out of his mind
[Verse 1]
C C/Am
I've been down and I need your help, been
Am G7
feeling sorry for myself
F/G G C
Don't hesitate to boost my confidence
C C/Am
I've been lost and I need direction,
Am G7
I could use a little love protection
F/G G C
What do you say honey, you come to my defense
I'll stand up for you if its what you need, I can
take a punch, I don't mind to bleed
As long as afterwards you feel bad for me
You give me all of your attention, I got
deep desires and it needs quenchin'
I think that's pretty plain for you to see
Well enough about me and more about you,
that'd be the gentlemanly thing to do
I hope you like your men sweet and polite
I thought I was done with telling you,
but I ain't nearly half way through
I've got a few more things that I'd like to say to you tonight
get ready...

I'm leaving now but I don't want to go
