The Pride
by: Paetar
(to be played with "early chicago blues in A")
you know, the old 12-bar blues. the A-H-A-D-A. tananana na na.
The chorus goes normal 12-bar-blues style.
I went out last night
got into a fight
I did my best
but here is the rest:
The guy took me down
the mud it was brown
and red with my blood
'cause my front teeth went out
Ohh man now it hurts
I didn't know what I was doing
And will I find the way
for my pride
to be regained.
It was all for her
my vision was a blur
she was sitting with him
he was working his thing.
Whiskey made me dumb
made me into a chump
So I went there
to fight with that bear
Ohh man now it hurts
I didn't know what I was doing.
And will I find the way
for my pride
to be regained.
I made a scene
but then I have been
dragged through the mud
just to shut up.
Finally he stopped
I couldn't get up
now I confess
man, I was a mess
Ohh now it hurts
I didn't know what I was doing
And will I find the way
for my pride
to be regained.
(sigh) After that session
Man, I learned my lesson
That sometimes silence
is better than violence
Fight's not worth starting
It never solves nothing
Makes you look like an ass
all you do is harass
The people
Now I know what I was doing.
And if you want your pride
make it through the night
without a fight,
without a fight,
without a fight.
