Pissing in the wind



Intro:	C   D/A   ?   (x 4)

Verse 1:
C                         Am
I've been pissing in the wind
                     Em
I chanced a foolish grin
                     F
and dribbled on my chin
          C                        Am
Now the ground shifts beneath my feet
                  Em                   F
The faces that I greet never know my name

Chorus 1:
                    C
Just give me something
              Am
I'll take nothing
                  Em
Just give me something
               F
I'll take nothing

Verse 2:
           C                        Am
Now the drought is crippled by the rain
                    Em
that hammers on my pain
                     F
We lose ourselves again
             C
But all we need
                       Am
is to find a place to look
                    Em
Our worm is on the hook
                       F
A love which dangles free
                C
Lets watch it swim
                    Am
against the waters flow
                       Em
In doubt the courage grows
             F
with no guarantee

(Chorus 1) dan  C   Am   Em   F   (x 2)

Verse 3:
            C
And so it goes
                   Am
the moral to this tale
                      Em
As tortoise catches snail
                       F
A strong heart will prevail

Chorus 2:
                C
It keeps on pumping
                   Am
It still needs something
                  Em
Just give it something
              F
I'll take nothing
                  C
Just give it something
              Am
To keep it pumping
                 Em
And I'll take nothing
                  F
Just give me something

C   Am   Em   F   C

How to practise this song

1
Practise the barre chord F
F is a barre chord. Lay your index finger flat across all strings and press firmly; practise it on its own until every string rings clearly before you use it in the song.

Great first song
Focus on clean chords — let every string ring. Speed comes by itself once the shapes are right.
