it's supposed to be a ballad... can't seem to get the guitar sound and timing quite right... not quite sure if it needs a guitar solo or not either... still work in progress
This is simply a page for my solo projects, drafts and ideas.
Story behind the song
I had a story with the same name... then came the idea for the song...
Lyrics
You got it (Em)rolling (Em7)
But you are (A)running out of time
You hear your (Em)rivals breathing (Em7)closer
And there's a (A)dozen for a dime
(Am7)You thought you had it
(Fmaj7)You claimed your fame
(Dm7)But when you reached it
(G+maj7)It wasn't the same (G+maj7 - xx1002)
Your daddy (Cmaj7)told you
Son, you will (Em)learn it one day
(A)It's not who's better
It's who is (D)true to them(D7)selves
You stand your (Cmaj7)ground
You pick (Em)your (D)own (A)fights
But you should (C7)always remember, son (B7)
(That) tigers don't (Em)cry
--------------------
Walked in the moonlight...
And you could feel the smell of fight
Yes you were stronger than those weasels
But it was ten on one that night
You tried to hold them
You fought your best
Your wounds are bleeding
You're begging for some rest
Down on the ground
When someone growled "I got your back"
You heard them running (away)
But couldn't see who saved your life
And in the darkness
Tears started streaming from your eyes
Did you not tell me, Dad - (it's what) the voice said -
(That) tigers don't cry?
