Chords for Michael Chapman - One Time Thing ( Live Barrel's Ale House 2003)

[E] The first part was called Looking for Charlie [A] in Nogales,
[Em] which refers to Charlie [G] Mingus, _ who's a hero of mine.
Well, not a hero, a god of mine. _
[Gm] Great jazz bass [Dm] player and arranger [G] and composer.
And I was down on the Mexican border, as you are sometimes, you know,
looking for Yorkshire puddings.
_ [C] _ [G]
And I found out that Charlie Mingus was born in Nogales,
which is slap on the Mexican border.
[G] _ And nobody seemed to know or care, you know,
apart from one old lady at the library who was trying to get a statue.
[Em] _ _ [G] She's never going to make it. _
It was only when I saw it written down on the back of the CD
that I suddenly realised that down on the Mexican border,
looking for Charlie can mean something else altogether, eh?
[Dm] _
[C] [G] Whoops!
_ And the second part is called It Ain't So, which is dedicated to Bert Janssen.
For reasons which both me and Bert have entirely forgotten.
[A] _ _
And the third bit is called [G] Sensimili, which is a gardening term.
I don't know about my kind of gardening anyway.
_ _ _ _ [E] I've got a reputation for really miserable [Em] songs.
I can make Leonard Cohen look happy. _
_ _ _ _ So we'll have one [E] of them now.
Start the misery [Em] early tonight. _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ [G] For my Sylvie, [D] she [Em] was just a one-time thing
[G] To [D] leave was just for [Em] one day
_ [G] _ _ [D] Then to rise [Em] when the sun was [G] new
[A] _ Just be on [G] thy way
[D] _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _

_ _ _ [G] _ That _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ was one of the first songs I ever wrote,
and one of the first tours I ever did,
[Em] _ when dinosaurs roamed the earth.
_ _ [G] _ _ 19th movie, [C] I believe it was, [G] tour.
[C] _ [G] I did a three-week [D] tour of Southampton.
[G] _ Brilliant it was.
I tell you what, I'm not kidding either.
[C] _
[D] _ [G] In them days there was a folk club behind every tree in the New Forest.
It was brilliant.
[C] And I wrote that song halfway through the tour
because I was feeling very [D] pleased with myself. _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ And then I went home and played the song to the missus.
