POLITICAL
---------
Spirit of the West
album: Labour Day
(this also appears on Go Figure, but it is a bit different)
transcribed by Tim Campbell tcampbel@gpu.srv.ualberta.ca
A Asus2
I was tired of being put right down by my
D
self for not being what you thought you had found
A Asus2
Pulled hard in two directions by a
D
desire to learn and my old affections
A Asus2
When I tried to share my world with you
D
you could not seem to tolerate the
A Asus2
people I have grown to love
D
They shrank under your scrutiny, became the ones you'd hate, why did
CHORUS:
A Asus2
everything, every little thing, every little thing with you and
D
me have to be so political
A Asus2
Everything, every little thing, every little thing with you and
D D A ( Asus2 D D A Asus2 D A E )*
me had to be so political
* (fill not played before third verse)
A Asus2
I was feeling a little underwhelmed about
D
hanging 'round with you and feeling over-cautious
A Asus2
Every word, every little look, every little sign, every little
D
phrase put me deeper in your doghouse
A Asus2
You'd let me out to run across your world, I
D
ran into a wall, you told me I built it then you'd
A Asus2
Reel me in, ream me out, pick me up, push me
D
out again, and then repeat, why did
CHORUS
E D
Too busy tripping on my tongue, to try and stand my ground
E D
I can still see myself crying in your lap asking you
"Are you happy with the man you have found?"
HARMONICA SOLO:
A Asus2 D D (repeated 4 times)
A Asus2
I'm grateful for what you did for me
D
I can see things now I never would have seen
A Asus2
And today I thought about what could have been but could
D
Never be for you and me because
