****alternate
this is how i play it, but the willburys would strum each cord only
once, then where i have the second strum they would only play the bass
note, then on to the next bass note like i have
then the rest of the song is just straight chords
//Intro:
play figure 1 twice
//verse
figure 1
Been beat up and battered around
figure 2
been set up and i've been shut down
you're the best thing that i ever found
handel me with care
1
Reputations changeable,
2
situations tolerable
but baby you're adorable
handle me with care
//Chorus:
I'm so tired of being lonely
I still have some love to give
wont you show me that you really care
everybody's got somebody to lean on
put your body next to mine and dream on
//verse
1
i've Been fucked up and i've been fooled
2
i've been robbed and ridiculed
in daycare centers and night schools
handle me with care
Figure 1 x 2
1
Been stuck in airports terrorized
2
sent to meetings hypnotized
overexposed commercialized
handle me with care
//Chorus
I'm so tired of being lonely
I still have some love to give
wont you show me that you really care
everybody's got somebody to lean on
put your body next to mine and dream on
//verse
1
I've been uptight and made a mess
2
but i'm cleaning up myself i guess
oh the sweet smell of success
handle me with care
