Hope  you  like  this  little  country  and  western tune I  wrote  last  night.

Babys gone shoppin again

by Graham Windle

G                                                      C
Dry your eyes my baby don't  you worry
G                                                    F-Am
Dry  your  eyes and listen what  I say-ay
G                                                            C
Dry  your  eyes my darlin please don't worry
           F                     G                 C
The  shoppin mall is only closed today
           F                      G                C
The  shoppin mall is only closed today
C                                                             G
You couldnt figure  out why no ones rushin to  the  store
                                                         C
Tryin to  buy the stuff the same as you
C                                                             G
when you  tried the door....it wouldn't open.
G                                                                 C
The  closed sign should have given you a  clue

G                                                       C
Dry your eyes my baby don't  you worry
G                                                    F-Am
Dry  your  eyes and listen what  I say-ay
G                                                            C
Dry  your  eyes my darlin please don't   worry
             F                    G                C
The  shoppin mall is only closed today
             F                    G                C
The  shoppin mall is only closed today

C                                                       G
You had  your little  heart set on a  pair of brand new shoes
                                                         C
A bag to match or somthin just as good
C                                                                G
You drove to town and parked up, And I said you shouldn't go.
G                                                           C
But deep inside I always knew  you would .

G                                                       C
Dry your eyes my baby don't  you worry
G                                                    F-Am
Dry  your  eyes and listen what  I say-ay
G                                                             C
Dry  your  eyes my darlin please don't worry
            F                     G                C
The  shoppin mall is only closed today
            F                     G                C
The  shoppin mall is only closed today
            F                     G                 C
The  shoppin mall is only closed today

Good one, Graham ..

Like every good country tune, I'll just smile knowing there's usually a personal experience behind your lyrics. I hope her withdrawal symptoms weren't too unbearable.

Good one. 

Be nice to hear it. That F-Am jump is intriguing and I'm trying to imagine the melody and beat that go along with it.

Re: Babys gone shopin again

nice one grah, and very true. i took the wife shopping on monday and she somehow managed to lose her credit card. what a relief as she'd arranged to go to swansea shopping on tuesday! saved me the drive and quite a few shillings i expect.

FYI the "malls" are open every day, even sunday here in the old country. it must be nice to have a day off in crete?

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

Thankfully  we  don't  have  shopping  malls  in our  bit  of  Crete, sadly there is  Amazon .

Re: Babys gone shopin again

It say here in the Uk that the average woman owns 39 pairs of shoes. I think my wife owns probably about that many. Most women treat shopping as very serious occupation so a closure is a major event.  lol
great song  Grah

Re: Babys gone shopin again

my  wife   has so  many  shoes  I  think  she  must  have  been a  centipede  in another  life ,her  mate  liz has a  dedicated  room  with  shelves  where she  shows  then off  each  pair  has  a matching  handbag hanging below .
I on the  other hand  have  3 which get  changed  when they  wear  out .
