Topic: A Good Love Story Makes a Lousy Song,
Here is a little bluesy piece I’ve been playing around with tonight. I’ll try and get it up on my soundcloud site soon, but it is pretty straight forward if you want to give it a go.
A Good Love Story Makes a Lousy Song By Jeff Gilpin
October 14, 2014
Intro
[G] [C] [G] [D7]
[G]I heard this girl singing about a guy that done her wrong [G7]
About [C]how she gave her heart to him and how he just ran a[G]long [G7]
I [D]think she was giving the story from her own [D7]view ....because I
[C]Never knew a girl who loved me true [C7]who I would do that to [G] [C] [G] [D7]
[G]Same way you hear some guys sing about the girl he let slip away [G7]
Who [C]couldn’t understand it when he begged her just to turn around and [G]stay [G7]
Now [D]if that girl was worth it I’m sure [D7]she’d of turned around
Instead of [C]packing her bag taking all his money and [C7]running off to town
But a [Em]good love story sure [C]makes a lousy song
[Em]Ain't no since in singing if [A]no one’s done you wrong
And [C]no one wants to [Em]listen to [A]happily ever after for long
Just like a [D]good love story [C]makes a lousy [C7]song [G] [C] [G] [D7]
There [G]ain’t nothing bluesy about getting the girl in the end [G7]
Or about the [C]whole thing working out or marrying your best [G]friend [G7]
[D]Someone’s got to have a heartache while the [D7]other one’s got to die
And [C]nothing tugs the heartstrings like the heart[C7]broken when they cry
Spoken over:[G] [C] [G] [D7] So let me give it a go and see if I can make you well up….
I [G]once had this girl she was my pretty little flower [G7]
I [C]gave her my heart but one day it went all [G]sour [G7]
[D]She found a handsome city man rolling in [D7]money
[C]Rushed back home packed her bags said [C7]see you later honey
Spoken over: [G] [C] [G] [D7]…there that's sad enough…right?...I sure hope so because…
A [Em]good love story sure [C]makes a lousy song
[Em]Ain't no since in singing if [A]no one’s done you wrong
And [C]no one wants to [Em]listen to [A]happily ever after for long
Just like a [D]good love story [C]makes a lousy [C7]song[G] [C] [G] [G7]
