FLUNKIES. PHILL WILLIAMS.


THERE'S [Gm ]SOMETHING IN THE WATER,


IT JUST [Bb] TASTES LIKE SOMETHING BAD


I’VE BEEN [C7] LIVING LIKE A HERMIT


SO WHEN I [Eb] SAW YOU I WAS [D] GLAD




TO BE [Gm] THERE WITHIN YOUR VISION


TO BE [Bb] NEAR ENOUGH TO TOUCH


BUT I’VE BEEN [C7] LIVING LIKE A HERMIT


SO I [Eb] KNEW I MUSTN'T DO TOO [D] MUCH




YOU’VE GOT [Gm] PEOPLE ALL AROUND YOU


THEY WILL [Bb] LAUGH IF YOU JUST SMILE


THEY WILL [C7] FIGHT TO LIGHT YOUR CIGARETTE


THEY WONT [Eb] LET NO STRANGER [D] GET INSIDE


Chorus


SO [C7] PLEASE LET ME [Eb] BE, WANNA [F7] BE


ONE OF YOUR [Gm] FLUNKIES…[Gm-Bb-C7-Eb-D7]





BUSY [Gm] PEOPLE ALL AROUND


WITH [Bb] SUITS AND OFFICE CLOTHES


WHILE [C7] YOU JUST STAND THERE LOOKING COOL


LIKE [Eb] YOU DON’T NEED TO [D] KNOW




YOU [Gm] RAISE YOUR LITTLE FINGER


AND [Bb] SOMEONE RUNS FOR YOU


JUST [C7] ANOTHER NAMELESS FLUNKY


THIS [Eb] POWER THING’S SO [D] COOL


Rep Chorus




YOU’VE GOT [Gm] FLUNKIES ALL AROUND YOU


YES [Bb] MEN EVERY ONE


THEY WILL [C7] KILL FOR YOU WHILE YOUR ON TOP


WHEN YOU [Eb] LOSE IT THEY’LL BE [D] GONE

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

Re: Flunkies.

hi peeps,

this one is almost a year old, it got written so quickly that i thought i'd nicked it from someone else, so i sent it to russ harding to ask if i had, he said "no..." but then i forgot about it, till the other day, so i thought i'd give it the full works.

sorry it's all in capitals i'm not shouting, even though it is an angry song, inspired by those tedious celebs with their entourage of minders and managers and make-up artistes, and people who are just there to make them feel important....no names mentioned.


it's already on my-space

Well done mate.

Re: Flunkies.

Phill you did send this to me awhile ago I thought it was a kind of a funky blues which was a departure from other material you compose but still a good song smile

Re: Flunkies.

Thanks Russ,

I like the beat too, variety is the spice of life...so they say

Thanks Ark,

Not as good as yours or Russ's guitar, but it'll suffice.

Just bought Pale Rider, I'm reading that next, I started a book on "Yes" [the group not the affirmative] and I'll be reading Rider next. I saw it on the net about his new book, one thing at a time though!

Hey Daddy,

Your definitely right there, though I feel I have thousands of good mates on Chordie

Cheers hairy ones

Re: Flunkies.

Hi Phil,

Yes this one is different ! Sort of loons, diamante sunglasses and platform boots different. I like it.

Re: Flunkies.

Hi Stransongs, sounds like your describing Elton John!!!! I could only aspire to that level, writers are dreamers, if only dreams came true....

Thanks

Re: Flunkies.

Yes, but we can write our dreams - kind of makes the dreams worthwhile.
