Strum
D-DU-UDU
I play guitar in a little bar, down the street
from here.
They pay me to come and to hum and to strum for
the folks to hear.
But I think it's unfair, when I'm sitting up there
and my baby walks in.
And I have to play like a friend..oh, for her and him.
Oh, how it hurts to see her flirt with someone else.
And oh, how it aches to see her make a fool of herself.
I swear I'd leave if I didn't need the dough, my friend.
It's nothing but a sin..to have to play and pretend..
for her and him.
The boss man say I gotta play from nine till three.
They come in each night at ten, for a while, then leave.
That's when I play with soul and the customers know that
I'm dyin' within.
Cause I know where they've been..and where they're goin'
again..just her and him.
(Her and him..her and him..her and him..)
I know where they've been..and where they're goin'
again..just her and him..(Fade.)
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
