Colum Sands, "What ever you say, say nothing" chords
Start Jamming...
It's used at home when people are kind of cautious about what they say.
They say, whatever you [N] say, say nothing.
[D] There's a kind of a suspicious sort of a chorus in the song.
You can join in if you're sure there's no one watching you.
[A]
[D] Whatever you say, say nothing.
When you speak about you know what.
For if you know who should hear you, you know what you'll get.
[D] They'll take you off to you know where.
For [G] you wouldn't know [D] how long.
So for you know who's sick, don't let anyone [A] hear you [D] singing this song.
[A] [D] [A]
Now [D] you all know what I'm speaking of [A] when I mention [D] you know what.
And I fear it's very dangerous [E] to even mention [A] that.
For the other it is always [G] near, although you may [D] not see.
But if anyone asks who told you that, [A] please don't [D] mention me.
And whatever you say, say nothing.
[A] When you speak about [D] you know what.
For if you know who should hear you, [E] you know [A] what you'll get.
[D] They'll take you off to you know [G] where.
For you wouldn't know [D] how long.
So for you know who's sick, don't let anyone [A] hear you singing [D] this song.
[A]
[D] [A] [D] And you all know who I'm speaking of [A] when I mention [D] you know who.
And if you know who could hear me now, [E] you know [A] what he'd do.
So [D] if you don't see me again, [G] you'll know why I'm away.
But if anyone asks you where I've [A] gone, here's what you must say.
[D] Whatever you say, say nothing.
[A] When you speak about you [D] know.
For if you know who should hear you, [E] you know [A] what you'll get.
[D]
They'll take you off to you know where.
[G] For you wouldn't [D] know how.
So for you know who's sick, don't let [A] anyone hear you [D] singing this.
[A] [D] [A]
[D] Well that's enough about so and so, [A] not to mention [D]
such and such.
I'd better end my song now, [E] I've already [A] said too much.
[D] For the less you say and the less you [G] hear, the less [D] you'll go astray.
And the less you think and the less you do, the [A] more you'll hear them say.
Whatever you say, say nothing.
[A] When you speak about you [D] know.
For if you know who should hear you, [E] you know what [A] you'll get.
[D] They'll take you off to you know where.
[G] For you wouldn't know [D] how.
So for you know who's sick, don't let [A] anyone hear you [D] singing this.
So for you know who's sick, don't let [A] anyone hear you singing [D] this.
