| Verse 2: |
| Tell it like it is |
| Don't be ashamed to let your conscience be your guide |
| But I... know deep down inside of me |
| I believe you love me |
| Forget your foolish pride |
| Life is too short to have sorrow |
| We may be here today and gone tomorrow |
| You might as well get what you want |
| So go on and live, baby go on and live |
| Coda (repeat first half of verse 2): |
| Tell it like it is |
| I'm nothing to play with |
| Go and find yourself a toy |
| But I... tell it like it is |
| My time is too expensive |
| And I'm not your little boy |
| Tell it like it is... (fade) |
| Notes: |
| 1) The above is the arrangement from the original single (Parlo 101); a |
| much slower 1972 re-recording appears on far too many oldies comps. |
| 2) The guitar part is mostly played in 6ths. Over the C7/G...Gm... etc. |
| progression it's: |
| 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | |
| xxx | 2x | 2 xxx | 0x | 0 xxx9x8 xxx9x8 |
| want... some... with... your... |
| ...; over the F Fmaj7/C F6 (D7/F#) it's all |
| xxx5x5 |
| since the C and A are common to all of the chords. |
| 3) The D7/F# sounds like it might be F#dim, but careful listening reveals |
| a D (not a D#) in the right-hand piano voicing. |
