Liner Notes

We're on holiday in the UK at the moment, so I haven`t had much opportunity to contribute. But a sleepless morning gifted me this one for a skirmish that had not long finished.

The inspiration for the final bridge was, of course, Robert Burns'
"Oh wha' gift the giftie gae us...."

Instrument: Epiphone Hummingbird Guitar (Incredible sustain, listen to that long fade I had to fade it out to avoid the end being too long!

Lyrics

(A) You think that you have it
But let me tell you, you don’t!
You (D) know you don’t have it
But you think one day you will
Well, you won’t!
You`re no (F#m) god’s gift to women
You won’t be a rock star
I could (E) tell you if you want
What you really are!
You (A) think that you have it
(E) But let me tell you, you (A) don’t!

(A) You posture and flaunt it
Like you’re the latest trend
What (D) people really think
I’d hate to tell you my friend
You (F#m) misinterpret
What brings on people’s smiles
No (E) one’s taken in by your
Incongruous wiles
You (A) think that you have it
(E) But let me tell you, you (A) don’t!

(Bm) Oh what a curse that we cannot see
What (A) others see in us so easily
If we (Bm) knew for sure what others think
(E) From the cold truth we would surely shrink
We (A) think that we have it
(E) But almost certainly we (A) don’t
