this is an out and out country song

Don't Let The Tears Fool You.Undefined




(CHORUS)




[D] Don't let the [G] tears fool you, she's laughing at [D] you.


She did the [A] same to me, but I've [G] stopped feeling [D] blue.




Many a [Am] lonely day, I've wasted in [D] tears.


Many [Am] lonely nights, [G] wishing she was still [D] here.


I was [C] so in love, [Em] besotted with [D] her.


And when she [Am] had her fill, [G] she moved on to [D] you.


So I can [Em] say; [G] beware my [D] friend.


She will be [Am] everything, you've ever [D] desired.


She's with you [Am] day and night, [G] her love is like [D] fire.


She'll make you [C] so in love, [Em] besotted with [D] her.


And when she's [Am] had her fill, [G] she'll move on [D] again.


So I can [Em] say; [G] beware my [D] friend.


(CHORUS)





There was a [Am] guy, who came before [D] me.


I saw his [Am] pain, [G] when she pulled herself [D] free.


He was [C] so in love, [G] besotted with [D] her.


And when she'd [Am] had her fill, [G] she moved on to [D] me.


So I can [Em] say: [G] beware my [D] friend.




[Em] And I can [G] say with [D] utmost [Bm]certainty.


[Em] She will [G] make you [D] want her [A7] constantly.


[G] Run while you still [Gm] can.


She'll [D] find another [Em] man.


Don't [G] worry she will [Gm] never be [D] alone.


(CHORUS)




Don't let the [G] tears fool you, she's laughing at [D] you.


Her eyes are [A] searching now, [G] for somebody [D] new.


Don't let the [G] tears fool you, she doesn't feel [D] blue.


When she's [A] found someone, [G] you'll be crying here [D] too.

I like like it a lot , even though  " besotted"  is $50  word  that I had to look up.  I guess I would be stuck with obsessed or infatuated with if I was writing it - but now i am a bit smarter thanks to you smile   Can't wait to hear it.

The verse
"And I can say with  utmost certainty.
She will  make you want her constantly. "    reminds of the guitar you wanted for so long - and then when you got it in you hands the feeling wasn't there.   smile   

Good work my friend

Phil,

I noted a bit of hidden wordplay,

"And when she had her fill, she moved on to you."

When she had her fill of Phill, eh?

Re: don't let the tears fool you

Nice one Phill!  Good story song, with a nice hook.  smile  As I was reading the words I was thinking more bluesy.  I think you did a good job of it with a country feel though!  smile  I like the chorus effects.  What software is it that you use?

Art and beauty are in the eyes of the beholder.
What constitutes excellent music is in the ears of the listener.

woops! i didn't realize i'd put any chorus fx on there....? it's most likely that i'd used a 12 string guitar on one channel and a six string on the other. having said that i recorded all the tracks, (about 8 maximum) on my DP24, then transferred them to a paid for program called Ableton, on which i used their mixer and EQ. you may be able to get a cut-down version off the net...Ableton Live 8. comes with full instructions.
