Suffering from Scottishness - Dumb Instrument
Great song - there's a serious movement to make it our national anthem. The video's worth seeking out, too.
[Verse 1]
CIt was windy, tCmaj7rees were bendy
C6I was staring aCmaj7t my knee.
CI was in Brighton, iCmaj7n a taxi,
C6Taxi driver saiCmaj7d to me
What's wFrong pal, you lCook depressed
I said I'm sFuffering frGom ScottishneCss.
[Verse 2]
COh for Christ's sake, Cmaj7I like shortcake
C6And when I'm happy Cmaj7it feels fake.
CI dream in tartan aCmaj7bout Dumbarton
I C6think I've failed when I'Cmaj7m only starting
Oh Fyes I must confeCss
That I'm sFuffering frGom ScottishneCss
[Verse 3]
CThere was one day, Cmaj7felt like Sunday
C6In the toilet oCmaj7f a bar
CAnd the gadgie iCmaj7n the mirror
C6He says who do Cmaj7you think you are
He says you're noFthing, you're just a Cmess
You're an aFdvert fGor ScottishnCess.
[Verse 4]
CTaxi driver he stCmaj7opped the car
C6He marched me straight Cmaj7to the nearest pub
CHis arm around me Cmaj7he did his best
C6To make me see that mCmaj7y life is blessed
So I laFmped him wi' ma glCess
So now he's sFuffering frGom ScottishnCess.
