Three chords & the Truth

by Pike Cavalero

1.
Well if you could see how much I’m cryin’ There’s no point, no use denyin’ Baby, I miss you so Here I am alone and wanderin’ All over town just lookin’ for something Baby, I need you so I remember the day I made you mine And that’s getting me through these hard hard times Just counting the time ‘til once more I‘m Back again with you Like a sunny day after the rain I know that soon we’ll meet again Baby, I miss you so You shone a light to guide my way Girl, I’m coming home to stay (cause) Baby, I miss you so

Six in the morning in an usual way Don’t mind the time, listen what I say: Tack tack She should be on her way and I just wait and wait for her and pray Never have enough despite the dough flippin’ and floppin’ all night long Tack tack I used to tell her so When this boogie woogie starts can feel my mind outta control Her scent, her taste, for goodness sake! Just can’t wait for another date to see her again Dance to the tack tack boogie Her scent, her taste, for goodness sake! Just can’t wait for another date to see her again Dance the tack tack boogie Here I am feelin’ so insecure But when she comes along she brings me rock’n’roll and Tack tack Why is my love so strong? I don’t know, but I just had to come here and write this song I need her so much when I’m so blue I’m so glad she’s gonna do the Tack tack and boogie woogie too Dancing the tack tack boogie the way we use to do Dancing the tack tack boogie the way we use to do Dancing the tack tack boogie the way we use to do

I can’t be me when you expect that I’m another Why can’t you see that I fell out in disgrace To make you feel that’s no point in hurt each other When you decide that I must lose this race I don’t have nothing but this old piece of paper, A pen and my guitar to let you see it through This old poor heart that I guess its needs a mending All I have got is three chords and the truth Three chords and the truth when I’m so lonesome Three chords and the truth when I’m so blue Three chords and the truth when you leave me baby and I can’t stop lovin’ you Three chords and the truth never can lose I love you babe and I want you to be a bit toughtful About all things I renounced just for you I’m aware you did similar things for me too I’m glad you did, let me see how much are you. Just wrote these lines trying to find the purpose, Of all the good and bad things that I do So as you can see, this tune has some mojo Just written with three chords and the truth

If I don’t get away this morning I believe that I will surely go insane I’ve been thinkin’ all night long Now I’m sure it would be wrong for me to stay She could do much better than me The only thing I’d get her is misery I really thought that I could stay this time I really thought that I should make her mine But now I must accept just what I am A heart-breaking lying cheating sham So now I got to run again and hide and get alone Like a coward or a child runnin’ crying for his home Or a lizard once more sprawling crawling underneath his stone… underneath his stone So I close the door behind me And the noonday sun will find me far away Well I guess I think I’m clever Just to run away forever in this way No woman needs that kind of man Checking out as soon as I can I really thought that I could stay this time I really thought that I should make her mine But now I must accept just what I am A heart-breaking lying cheating sham So now I got to run again and hide and get alone Like a coward or a child runnin’ crying for his home Or a lizard once more sprawling crawling underneath his stone… I’m too tough for LOVE

Estaba en casa preguntándome cuál, cuál, cuál Podría ser la razón de mi infelicidad Jamás pensé que en todo el mundo pudiera existir Una chica entre un millón hecha para mí Y llegaste tú, caminando así Y llegaste tú, haciéndome reir Nunca pensé que encontraría a alguien que curase mi blues Y desde algún lugar, perdido, llegaste tú Había perdido,incluso, la sonrisa Podías ver mi tristeza, kilómetros atrás Acostumbrado a la soledad y ya rendido al blues desde el medio de la nada, llegaste tú Y llegaste tú, caminando así Y llegaste tú, haciéndome reir Nunca pensé que encontraría a alguien que curase mi blues Y desde algún lugar, perdido, llegaste tú Y llegaste tú, caminando así Y llegaste tú, haciéndome reir Nunca pensé que encontraría a alguien que curase mi blues Y desde algún lugar, perdido, llegaste tú Y llegaste tú, caminando así Y llegaste tú, haciéndome reir Nunca pensé que encontraría a alguien que curase mi blues Y desde algún lugar, perdido, llegaste tú

Spring all around Grass is green But I’m as blue as I’ve ever been The sun is shining Down on me But you ain’t where you s’posed to be Didn’t u say You’d come to stay when spring is in the air. Winter’s gone Warm sunrays (have) Melted all the snow away Flower buds are Poking through Seems they’re looking out for you You made a vow To be here now when spring is in the air Without you the sun just burns And the flowers make me sneeze And the birdsong is just noise Baby come back to me please. I don’t know How many springs Have faded since you spread your wings But my heart tells me 'Never quit - You must believe that this is it. This is the year (that) she’ll be here when spring is in the air’ Without you the sun just burns And the flowers make me sneeze And the birdsong is just noise Baby come back to me please. I don’t know How many springs Have faded since you spread your wings But my heart tells me 'Never quit - You must believe that this is it. This is the year (that) she’ll be here when spring is in the air'

I won’t let nobody kiss me Nobody hug me Nobody touch me, nobody love me Nobody gets me baby ‘til you’re out of jail I won’t call nobody baby Nobody honey Nobody with me spending my money Nobody gets me baby til you’re out of jail You been inside for way too long I’m wastin time writin’ prison songs Don’t know how much I can take I gotta send a file in a cake I won’t have no Honkytonkin No house a-shakin’ No roof raisin’, no whoopee makin’ No celebration baby til you’re out of jail I won’t let nobody kiss me Nobody hug me Nobody touch me, nobody love me Nobody gets me baby ‘til you’re out of jail I won’t call nobody baby Nobody honey Nobody with me spending my money Nobody gets me baby til you’re out of jail On the day they set you free I’m gonna get you back with me I’ll be waitin’ outside for you Cos you and me got plenty to do When I get alone with you I won’t have no Honkytonkin No house a-shakin’ No roof raisin’, no whoopee makin’ No celebration baby til you’re out of jail No celebration baby til you’re out of jail No celebration baby til you’re out of jail

Baby, I’m tellin’ you All I’ve got is for you From my darker, cloudy nights To the most precious sunshine You should have known I was tellin’ no lie I am ready to depart I’d love to have you by my side So, consider yourself that this could be the end or a new start for us again I know I’m no good at all Don’t wan’t to hurt you anymore But I just can´t find a better way It’s up to you, that’s what I say Solo It has been a really great adventure Walkin’ the world next to you So I’d love to carry on, together see what’s goin’ on You must decide baby, that’s all I want I’m aware that’s not an easy task To think in all those things before the dusk But remember, I love you And I promise to be true You should think about it to avoid your blues I know I’m no good at all Don’t wan’t to hurt you anymore But I just can´t find a better way It’s up to you, that’s what I say

Down tools 01:48
Well. I like my job. It suits me. Don’t mean I wanna do it for free. Management take us for fools, One more push: down tools! Well, I have taken Much as I can Never forget I’m a union man Management take us for fools, One more push: down tools! Well I don’t wanna cause no trouble I don’t wanna cause no fuss They gotta realise we’re syndicalised and they don’t wanna mess with us. Well, I won’t flinch I won’t shirk I get pretty proud of a good day’s work Management take us for fools, One more push: down tools! Boss and a worker Can get along fine I ain’t trying to take what isn’t mine Management take us for fools, One more push: down tools! Well I don’t wanna cause no trouble I don’t wanna cause no fuss They gotta realise we’re syndicalised and they don’t wanna mess with us.

En otra vida 04:02
Desperté la otra noche decepcionado al ver que te soñé mientras te ibas trataba de aferrarme inútilmente a ti, pero era tarde, ya te perdías En el golpe de realidad que esfumará todo el recuerdo de aquellos días Vuelvo a lo mío, cuando menos me lo espere volverás, como agua fría Sin siquiera avisar con antelación Haciéndome sentir loco Dependiendo de esta situación Perdiéndote poco a poco ¿Tal vez me recreo en lo que pudo ser? No lo sé ni yo tampoco En otra vida En otra vida que quizás No nos presente tanta dificultad Otro mundo en que vivir Este sueño junto a tí En otra vida. Sabes que en otra vida no te dejaré ir sin demostrar lo que decías Mientras en esta me tengo que conformar con el recuerdo de tu sonrisa Tampoco es ningún drama, pero no se muy bien lo qué he de hacer en mi guarida. Sabiendo que otra noche tonta volverás a recordarme que fuiste mía. ¿Tal vez me recreo en lo que pudo ser? No lo sé ni yo tampoco En otra vida En otra vida que quizás No nos presente tanta dificultad Otro mundo en que vivir Este sueño junto a tí En otra vida.
