Topic: "Suddenly See Blues"

Here's a little blues thing suitable for howling anyone who has learned some hard lessons.
Will record this one soon . . .

Suddenly See BluesJames McCormick, October 9, 2007


There [G]is no doubt about it, it's [G]all so clear to me


The [G]pieces fell together, I [G7]got some clarity


I don't [C]need no explanation, no [C]teary alibi


[G]Don't even try to tell me [G]who, when, or why


I [D7]could not see the forest, I was [C7]looking at the trees


But [G]suddenly it's obvious, suddenly I [D7]see . . .




The [G]truth is talking long and loud, [G]ringing like a bell


I was [G]such an easy mark, so [G7]very gullible


Like a [C]sacrificial virgin, like a [C]babe in the woods


[G]Hypnotized by hormones, I [G]bought a bill of goods


I was [D7]under a delusion, but [C7]now my mind is free


[G]Suddenly it's obvious, suddenly I [D7]see . . .





Like a [G]big old greedy fish, I was [G]dangling on your hook


But [G]this one's gonna get away, don't [G7]even try that look


Baby, I [C]should have seen it coming, [C]should have seen the signs


I [G]should have used my brain and [G]read between the lines


Your [D7]bait was quite exquisite, irre-[C7]sistable to me


But [G]suddenly it's obvious, suddenly I [D7]see . . .


[G]Thank you for the lesson, I [G]got my wake-up call


I [G]was not thinking with my brain, I de-[G7]served to take a fall


How [C]could I be so trusting, so [C]totally naive


A [G]fool full of hormones, is [G]easy to deceive


I was [D7]blinded by your beauty, [C7]dazzled by debris


But [G]suddenly it's obvious, [D7]suddenly I [G]see.

Re: "Suddenly See Blues"

Hi James,
I know a lot about womens hormones. I also know a lot about fishing bait
on the end of my Fishing rods.
Human bait? Is like the murky water i some times fish. Hidden with Agendas? I severed a very special relationship,when
one of my groups Husbands asked me to go to a hotel with him. Was I flattered ? No! Did i want to understand his hormones? NO!. All his cell texts
of apologies, meant absolutely nothing to me. He had shown his true colours.
He made me feel like cheap bait.. I like people who know where there at.
May be some brave man on Chordie would like to explain how stunning his male hormones become with age? lol.lol  Come on now James, start the thread.
I dare you! Or better still write the song about same!
After all that i look forward to your recording as always  You walking bag of male testerone! lol.

Good song Though.

Re: "Suddenly See Blues"

Hi Old Doll!
Please realize this little blues number was written by a middle-aged guy recalling events of his youth - not by a randy old geezer bragging about recent conquests.  File this song under 'Lessons From My Youth".

Personally, I find many women quite attractive and with time I have also learned to appreciate them as actual human beings.  It seems that some women (but not all) are also capable of seeing men as actual human beings.

The friend's husband who propositioned you is a sorry excuse for a human being and a deluded fool.  Your friend needs to straighten him out.

I'll soon be 51.  Can't say as my male hormones have become more stunning - but I would like to believe that my good humor and acquired wisdom help me to be interesting company.  But then again, maybe I am also a deluded fool?

As usual I have a favorite part smile.  I like this song, and i love the seventh chords. Not sure what it is about C7 but i've always loved that chord for some reason.... anyway this was real good.

All You Need is Love smile

Re: "Suddenly See Blues"

Hey James, I am pretty to new to the forum.  How do I get to listen to this song.  I like the words, but had a little trouble figuring out the chorus.  Finally this old brain got it. 

Good work, in the writing, but want to hear it
