Crocodile Tears - The Stanfields


What an awesome song! It's by the Stanfields - one of the best new bands to come out of
Scotia in a while. You can get this song - and other songs - on their website for 
free: http://thestanfields.ca/


Capo on 3rd fret


The Celtic sound on the D chord comes from playing the G string open and hammering your
finger down to start the chord.

e|-2---2-----2-2-2-2---------|B|-3---3-----3-3-3-3---------|G|-0-h-2-----2-2-2-2---------| x 3A|-0---0-----0-0-0-0---------|D|---------------------------|E|---------------------------|

On the 4th time around, kick the G string up to the 4th fret.

e|-2---2-2----2-2------------|B|-3---3-3----3-3------------|G|-0-h-2-4----4-2------------|A|-0---0-2----0-0------------|D|---------------------------|E|---------------------------|

Repeat this progression throughout the song.

DViolets are blue, roses are red
  GI want you to leave and I mean what I said
    D                 A7                        DThe jury's verdict is in and you've crossed the line.

DSpare me the drama and your crocodile tears
GCocaine, vodka and a half dozen beers
D                         A7                 DThere's no excuse for the way you acted last night


Chorus
   G                                DSo go, pack your bags, I'm not listening to you cry
            A7                   Bmin    DThere is no next time or another try
   G                               DSo go, pack your bags and find somewhere else to cry
            A7                          DThis is the last time that I'll say goodbye


         DWell you bitch and complain as a means to an end
    GYou don't like my momma and you hate all my friends
     D                        A7                  DWell honey, I've got news for you, the feeling is shared


DThey say true love is golden but bruises are black
    GYou think that you are but you ain't coming back
         D                      A7              DYou're a walking, a cold lonely road, you ain't prepared


Chorus

Solo


DHere is a quarter, call someone who cares
   GOr believes that I accidently fell down the stairs
D                                     A7                    DOr the phone book that knocked me out cold just fell of the shelf


DWell I have a good job and I don't look too bad
              GAnd there are plenty of women who would be more than glad
   D                    A7                     DTo keep me from sitting around feeling bad for myself


Chorus x 2

Solo/Outro
