Aching Kind
CYou left me here hFolding my fCace, yAmour words were cE7old as sAmtone
GYou should have Cknown Fhow I Cfeel Fwhen I’m Cdown on my knees
DmSince you’ve gone I’ve been so bFlue, baby yoGu still on my mCind
Cause I’ve Dmalways been Gone of the aching Ckind
Tonight will be one of those days so don’t you run me down
Cause I blame him too, everybody’s saying your baby tired of you
Since you’ve gone I’ve been so blue, baby you still on my mind
Cause I’ve always been one of the aching kind
Steel guitars, honky tonk bars,
Nothing makes you crazy lie singing in a rock and roll band
Since you’ve gone I’ve been so blue, baby you still on my mind
Cause I’ve always been one of the aching kind
PS: this is a Michelle Philips song but I had nowhere else to put it.

The story behind the song

"Aching Kind" comes from The Mamas & the Papas, an American folk rock vocal group known for their harmonies and their place in the 1960s counterculture music scene. The group, consisting of John Phillips, Cass Elliot, Michelle Phillips, and Denny Doherty, had a sound that adapted folk music to the beat style of the early 1960s, with John Phillips arranging their distinctive vocal harmonies. This song carries the emotional weight suggested by its title, hinting at a deep, perhaps bittersweet, longing.

You left me here holding my face, your words were cold as stone

You should have known how I feel when I’m down on my knees

Dm F G C

Since you’ve gone I’ve been so blue, baby you still on my mind

Dm G C

Cause I’ve always been one of the aching kind

Tonight will be one of those days so don’t you run me down

Cause I blame him too, everybody’s saying your baby tired of you

Nothing makes you crazy lie singing in a rock and roll band

Since you’ve gone I’ve been so blue, baby you still on my mind

Cause I’ve always been one of the aching kind
