A jolly pop song
pop bouncy
Artist picture
Singer-songwriter, arranger and producer: acoustic contemporary folk but ranging into rock/blues/country/jazz/humour...all very eclectic, I'm afraid!
Martin Stirrup Singer/songwriter An old folkie who got back into it... These days I sing and play guitar(s) and other stringed instruments, then score and orchestrate where appropriate. My taste becomes increasingly eclectic ranging from finger-picked folk through country to soft rock mixed in with a few more alternative and eccentric numbers, including the odd novelty foxtrot...

Lyrics
AFS 15 Don’t try too hard Intro riff: DC GDDx2 160bpm and bridge DC GBm A DC GBm A F#mGAA7 A7 Don’t try too hard Give her an inch you know she’ll take a yard See that snow on the hills Better take it easy ‘fore you get the chills You think she’ll give you the time of day? Not her style, not the way she plays Don’t make a fuss Leading the field’s not for the likes of us She’s calling the shots She’ll shake you down if she knows you’ve got the hots You’re down here whilst she’s up there So don’t expect her to start playing fair GGF#mA GGE7AA7 What you gonna do to make her look your way Brain fried tongue tied so what to say But don’t you try some stupid party stunt If you get on her nerves you know you’re gonna lose the hunt Instrumental verse So take it easy that’s the secret trick Try too hard and you’ll end up looking like a dick Just be yourself, it’s your best disguise Trickery she’ll see through with those beautiful eyes Don’t try too hard Give her an inch you know she’ll take a yard You gotta play out that line Let her tire herself out while you wait for a sign Deal the cool card, give a knowing grin Let her come to you then reel her in
