Cooper - Give the kid a break
This one is kinda tricky with the timing, so you kinda have to know what your doing, but
chords are all there. p.s. this was a hard song to tab
Don't? know why I'm
down here
F
Must be something I said
F#7 C
Or some small imperfection
E Am C7/G F D/F#
In my soul or in my head
D7 G F#7 G
Don't know why I'm down here
Don't reserve to roast or bake
I'm fighting off slanderous allegations
Why don't you give the kid a break?
G C F C
Don't you think maybe we could talk this over
E Am
You're a reasonable man
C D Eb E
Could we discuss my grave situation
Am G
I'm a miserable man
F#*
And I'm in the frying pan
D G
Chorus:
Give the kid a break
C - B - Em - G
Give me one good reason why I should
All right, all right, so I made a few mistakes
But for heaven's sake
Watch your language, Kid.
OK, OK, don't get hot
Don't?
question my judgement
F
He only reaped what he sowed
F#7 C
He cast his pearls before swine
E Am C7/G F
D/F#
And that's good enough for me
D7 G F#7 G
Solo (Verse chord progression)
I don't want to talk it over
Even tho' I'm a reasonable man
Sonny, from over here
Looks like you're in no position to bargain
You're a convicted man
You're right in the frying pan
Give the kid a break
Please give me a break
Give the kid a break
Nah nah, I don't think so, man
Come on, you know I got what it takes
Can't you give me a break?
Sure thing kid, when hell freezes over
Ok, don't give the kid a break
Hey you guys, I thought you were on my side
No they don't
Give the kid a break
Yeah, well thanks a lot, pals
Listen boss, maybe we can make a little deal
Isn't there anything I can say
Or some kind of fine I can pay
Something
Don't know why I'm down here
Must be something I said (I'm sorry)
Or some small imperfection
In my soul or in my head
It might be some infection
It might be a small imperfection or a clear case of misdirection
It must be a small imperfection
In my soul or in my head
Give the kid a break
