Chords for Richard Thompson - Crawl Back - California 2005

_ You know, great songwriters like Cole Porter wrote a lot of
really bad stuff, too, which is reassuring.
The fact you wrote 100 really unbelievably great [Gb] songs and
800 really bad ones _ _ makes me feel a lot better about my own substandard output.
_ I went to Willie Dixon's [G] 75th birthday party, and I found
him alone in a corner at one point.
And I said, well, how are you doing?
What are you up to?
And he said, oh, I'm just working on my new album.
And I said, oh, have you got material?
[Am] He says, yeah, I've got 2,000 unrecorded songs. _
So I thought that was something to live up to. _ _ _ _
_ You can sing along with this if you feel so inclined.
[A] So this time you hurt me.
You really did it this time, you did. _ _
Did you count your fingers after shaking my hand?
God forbid. _
_ [D] Riff-raff crawling from the slums.
Right there in front of all [Eb] your charms.
I swear, by the pricking of [D] my thumb, [E] I'll make your day.
I'll melt away.
I [A] crawl back.
[F] Under my stone [A] I crawl back, [F] under my stone [A] I crawl back, [F] under my stone
And [G] you won't have to [F] stand next to [C] me, [G] you won't have to forgive [F] me
[C] You won't [Am] have to think about, talk [F] about, care about me
I [Am] crawl [Dm] back
_ [Am] _ _
[Dm] _ _ [A] _ _ _ [B] _ _
[A] Well I've got enough, just show her my face, don't you think? _
_ Scruffy little likes have to know their place, don't you think? _
_ [D] Oh boy, sorry to intrude, damn shame, pretty bloody [Eb] rude
I should be a horse for [D] dancing, [E] hang it quietly
My tail between my knees, [A] I crawl back
[F] Under [A] my stone I crawl back, [F] under my stone I [A] crawl back
[F] And you're not [C] stoned if you [G] won't have to [F] stand next to me
[G] You _
[C] _ _ [G] won't have to [Am] think about, [G] talk about, [F] care about me [Am] Crawl back
_ [A] I wanna be [D] medical, [A] I close [D] that seal, it's medical, [A] I
I just [E] don't wanna be, I just [D] don't wanna be [A] free
I just don't wanna be free

_ _ _ _ You had me in a set, could you hide it?
It's all red, could you do?
_ [D] _ [A] You've got smart game and my name, reckon number you're due
_ _ [D] Somehow I gave myself away, some cut, some what I [Bb] didn't [Eb] say
I'm Mr.
One-Line in [E] the play, I'm the trap, shut, tied
And you did me alright, I [A] crawl back
[F] Under _ [A] _
[F] my stone [A] I crawl back, [F] under my stone I crawl back
And [G] you're not stoned if you won't have to [F] stand next to me
You [G] won't have to [F] think about, _ _ [G] _
[Am] [G] talk about, [C] care about me
