Shy Boy Tabulatur von JD McPherson (für Baryton)

[Verse 1]
B
This thing trips on the shortest of lips
B
And when the winter wind is blowing cold
B
I got a big old heart
B
One malicious remark just might hit me like a lightning bolt

[Chorus]
                 D                         B
They said I was shaky from the day that I started to walk
   D                       B
I carry such a heavy load
              D                             B                              F#
You know, you do a lot of damage when you talk that talk 'cause don't you know I'm a shy boy

[Verse 2]
B
I'm headed to the wall
B
At the top of the steps feeling like a smoking gun
B
Talking to the voices that don't talk back
B
It's you and me that I'm running from

[Chorus]
                 D                         B
They said I was shaky from the day that I started to walk
   D                       B
I carry such a heavy load
              D                             B                              F#
You know, you do a lot of damage when you talk that talk 'cause don't you know I'm a shy boy

[Verse 3]
B
A little baby cries out when he meets the world
B
The new day fears a setting sun
B
Talking to strangers always scared me to death and now here I am talking to one

[Chorus]
                 D                         B
They said I was shaky from the day that I started to walk
   D                       B
I carry such a heavy load
              D                             B                              F#
You know, you do a lot of damage when you talk that talk 'cause don't you know I'm a shy boy

[Verse 4]
B
Can you truly take this fear away?

I keep it under lock and key
B
What if I make a mistake? I might not know what to say
B
Why do you put this burden on me?

[Chorus]
                 D                         B
They said I was shaky from the day that I started to walk
   D                       B
I carry such a heavy load
              D                             B                              F#                   B
You know, you do a lot of damage when you talk that talk 'cause don't you know I'm a shy boy
