I learned this song from a borrowed
tape and this is my version so it may not be exactly right. The album is
called "Western Beat" by Kevin Welch.
SOMETHING 'BOUT YOU KEVIN WELCH
I DON'T WANT NO[C]BODY, (I'M) BETTER OFF ALONE
I'M [F]SWORN TO INDEPENDENCE,
AND MY HEART IS MADE OF [C]STONE
BUT YOU'RE BREAKING ON [G]THROUGH,
SOMETHING ‘BOUT [C]YOU
I'VE BEEN TAPPING MY TOES, TO THE WAY YOU TALK
[F]I'VE BEEN SINGING ALONG
WHEN I WATCH THE WAY YOU [C]WALK
HONEY I'VE GOT TO [G]DO,
SOMETHING ‘BOUT [C]YOU
[G]I'VE GOT THIS (PLACE/LIFE) OF MINE
IT'S [F]NICE AND QUIET AND I [C]LIKE IT FINE
I WORK REAL HARD, I'VE GOT NO TIME FOR [G]YOU
BUT I'VE [G]WHISKIED UP MY COFFEE CUP
I'M [F]SITTING HERE TRYING NOT TO [C]CALL YOU UP
AND IT'S GETTING TO WHERE I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO [G]DO,
SOMETHING ‘BOUT [C]YOU
[F]SOMETHING ABOUT YOU LIKE THE DISTANT [C]THUNDER
[F]I CAN'T SAY I AIN'T BEEN [C]WARNED
[F]BUT THERE'S NO SHELTER TO CRAWL [C]UNDER
[D]THAT'S EVER GONNA SAVE ME FROM THIS [G]STORM
SOMETHING ‘BOUT [C]YOU, I CAN'T SHAKE
[F]THERE'S SOMETHIN ABOUT YOU
THAT'S BEEN KEEPING ME [C]AWAKE
THE WHOLE NIGHT [G]THROUGH,
SOMETHING ‘BOUT [C]YOU
Best to you,
Jerry "tracker" Aubuchon
