Whining 02:30
Well I'm tired of living lonely I'm so tired of feeling so blue I'm looking for an angel Darling like you, darling like you Many nights I go out dancing Cuttin' a rug and raisin' the roof But tonight, I'm in the corner thinking “Why me? Poor me, I couldn't find you” Break Late at night, when I lay sleeping I’m dreaming tomorrow I'll meet Miss Right 'Cause one thing I know and it's for certain I didn't tonight, I didn't tonight

Things are bright, mind’s a-glow, My head’s a-buzzin’, saying I gotta go, Can you hear it, up around the bend? Calling out, “Leave your worries,” come along my friend Ooo Ooo, Ooooo Hoo hoo – haw haw haw Got no reason – got no rhyme I can get nowhere on time Sittin' and laughin' – friends by my side When I'm feeling blue they can quickly turn the tide Life's for living and I live it right I carpe diem and I carpe every night - Chorus And oh, there’s no shame – I'm really not to blame Everything’s uncertain, that’ll stay the same Recognize the face, but I forgot the name Purpose, porpoise, pablum, pine Salve it down with spirits, wend and unwind

D – A – A7 – D D7 – Em7 – G – D You asked me what’s wrong – I said, “Nothing” It seemed better than to get in a fight We pushed all our problems in the corner Where they stayed to haunt us all night D – Em7 – A7 – D D7 – G – A7 – D I didn’t want – to say things – to hurt you But I shouldn’t – have said nothing – at all I didn’t want – to say things – to hurt you I should not – have said nothing – at all We were young and had full lives before us All of our dreams there ahead But time took its course and we got off course In silence our love was misled Chorus Our friends said we were so lucky Never seeing how we were alone At parties it was all smiles and laughter We were just leaving sadness at home Mid-8 [verse chords] Your head was at your chest when leaving And this was what pained me to see How could it have been me to hurt you By treating you so carelessly Chorus 2x

Morning New 02:37
Woke up this morning with a dry tear in my eye Reminiscing with whisky must be the reason why But there’s a lot of back roads dust upon my shoes Too old to worry much a-bout ‘ol blues When ya hustle here and you stumble there Ain’t got time to have a care Lots to give but none to share I guess – I’ll take the morning new Born on a wide track, raised to be my own How did it happen that I put my heart on loan But there’s no way that I can turn back I still see her eyes all dusky black And the ribbon in her hair becomes The road that I’ve been travelin’ on The next town might help me out I guess – I’ll take the morning new Mid-8 These goods are damaged but still I carry on To walk another mile, sing another song Yeah there’s a lot of dust on my shoes Too old to care much a-bout ‘ol blues When ya hustle here and you stumble there Ain’t got time to have a care Lots to give but none to share I guess – I’ll take the morning new

Ain’t going nowhere, I won’t be too long Just stretching my legs, I won’t be too long I’m just going out – for cigarettes That’s all Just grabbin’ a coat, don’t need my keys Just getting my hat, I don’t need no keys You see I’m just going out – for cigarettes That’s all Don’t be unhappy, don’t look so sad You need much more, than I’ll ever have Now I’m just going out – for cigarettes That’s all

G – C – D – C v. G – Em – D – C Great job – Letting me down And your response was, “Hey, whatever” - god aren’t you profound Friends aren’t perfect – We all make mistakes Just don’t be too good to say, you’re sorry you’re a flake [G – Am – C – D] But it’s alright, it’s OK That’s someone from my yesterday This won’t give me – no dismay That’s someone from my yesterday I gave advice – So many times Good folks are not the kind you need to read between the lines If you matter – Then you would know There are some who show up and then there are some for show Chorus – Lead “Gotta know him” – Said it myself That’s always said about someone who should go straight to hell Make them forgotten (bye bye) – If they are rotten (pee yew) It is your life and you decide whose baggage you are hauling My life’s better – Hell, my life's great Cause throwing out the garbage really did improve my fate And it’s alright, it’s OK Life’s better without you anyway This won’t give me - no dismay That’s someone from my yesterday It’s alright, it’s OK That’s someone from my yesterday Hey, I’m not bitter - I’m feeling gay That’s someone from my yesterday

about

Here's a collection of tunes that had been floating around the junk drawer with the crusty rubber bands and broken pencils. It seemed time to get them down and out, work out the parts I never liked. It felt good to get it done, now for the rest of the rabble in that drawer...

Highlighted in Leng Pleng!

Thanks to all who played these songs with me over the years, and especially those who helped me finally get them recorded. Cheers to Scoddy Bywater and the others in the incredible Cambodian music scene who helped me coordinate a round-the-world recording escapade. Never a dull moment. To the staff at The Sound Initiative who helped make everything run (except for when the monsoon rains blew out the power). To all the family and friends, past, present and future who have helped me keep an eye on the yaw.
