LYLE LOVETT - "simple song" Tablature
Official LYLE LOVETT Tablature & Sheet Music »
This is from memory, so I hope I haven't butchered this one too badly,
particularly the lyrics....As with everything I post this is transposed
into a key I can sing it in, you'll have to change it to do it in the
same key as the recording.
Simple Song - Lyle Lovett
Amin C G
It's a simple song for simple feelings
Amin C E7
You see the moon and you watch it rise
F C G
Across the continent a night bird sings
Amin E7 Amin
And someone somewhere hears its cry
Amin C G
Disillusioned, keep your head down
Amin C E7
'Cause if you do they'll never know
F C G
You'll have no answers to their questions
Amin E7 Amin
And they will have to let you go
Amin C G
Disenfranchised revolution
Amin C E7
Take away by right what's yours
F C G
They make you martyrs of your own cause
Amin E7 Amin
But they don't know what cause its for
Amin C G
All deserted stand alerted
Amin C E7
They'll love you when you're all alone
F C G
You find a red rose in the morning light
Amin E7 Amin
But wait the night and find it gone
Amin C G
So hear my words with faith and passion
Amin C E7
For what I say to you is true
F C G
When you find the one you might become
Amin E7 Amin
Remember part of me is you
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official LYLE LOVETT tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
