Topic: GRAVEL AND SPIT

GRAVEL & SPITby, STEVE BOILEAU


capo3


vrs. 1


[G]I've taken my shot when opportunity came,


[C]Lifes a gamble,you gotta stand up to the strain.


[G]What ever happened to respect for a mans' name,


[C]Talkin' the talk is a polititions game.


[D7]Walkin? the walk sheds light on the [G]flame.


vrs2


[G]It's not my fault, the gov't takes care of that.


[C]Is the rallying cry of the spoiled little brats.


[G]Is there no place for a man who will take it to the mat,


[C]Who'll look you in the eye and say 'go ahead challenge that',


[D7]It's not just our bellies you see, our minds have gotten [G]fat.


[G]An old dog grabs a bone is as hungry as the young,


[C]He eats for survival and not just for the fun.


[G]Watch the old dog he's a tough son-of-a-bitch



[C]Backing down is not his nature, he's made of gravel and spit.


[D7]Stand up and be counted, ah don't take that [G]sh*t.


vrs3


[G]Society has changed, you can't cuss or fight,


[C]You might hurt somebodys feelings, and make them uptight.


[G]Don't say what you think before it's politically alright.


[C]Get your head outa your ass and stand up tonight,


[D7]Don't play the head games and get over the [G]fright


vrs4


[G]When it's all over and they lay me down,


[C]I hope this song is still hangin' around.


[G]To remind you of the man that I tried to be,


[C]To show you the man tonight that you see.


[D7]You see I live in my skin very [G]comfortably.

Re: GRAVEL AND SPIT

Hi Steve,


I just gave "Gravel and Spit" a thrash and a bash and liked it. I did however add a quick C at the end of each verse and chorus to break the long G and it worked for the way I sang it but it may be completely at odds with way you perform it.


Thank you,


Roger

Re: GRAVEL AND SPIT

Thank you for that Steve,


I have just made you and Lynn into a trio by playing and singing along with you both on YouTube, it was fun. I must try that again more often.
