I Ain't Got You
Jazzy pop?? No idea really
A song about somebody flying solo again and trying to convince himself it’s great - it could be my metaphor for Brexit!

HBd 12 I Ain’t Got You ( I, Myself and Me ) Portugal songs Jun2017
Intro riff G+|E B6 Bb6 |A6 G+| repeat
Got time to ponder, time to think G+|E B6 Bb6 |A6 C G+| E B6 Bb6 |A6 C G+|
Time to wonder whether it's time for another drink -:-
Time to philosophise to my hotel wall -:-
I got time that's all -:-
Intro riff x2
I got company the bar is full G+|E B6 Bb6 |A6 C G+| E B6 Bb6 |A6 C G+|
I got relationships to the barman and my stool -:-
I've got everything a soul could hanker for... |C#m E |A E | B7 | |
The whole damn world is there at my door |FM7b5 | |E |B7 G+|
But I ain't got you x4 over intro riff x4 (without G+ on last one)
Ain't got you Causing trouble in my life |FM7b5 |Cmaj7|
Ain't got you As the source of all my strife |FM7b5|Cmaj7|
Ain't got you Keeping me in chains as my wife |FM7b5|F˚ Ab˚ B˚ D˚|rit and stop
I can be all I should be |C G |A7 | as triplets slow and stop
Taking care of I, myself and me |FM7b5|B9 B7 G+ |E… and into intro riff
You know I’m hanging loose now, letting go
I’m feeling fine from my head down to my toe
I'm my own boss now, that's why I'm feeling free as verse 2
At a loss now to guess why you don't agree
Got no worries, just look at my grin
Guess it’s only me I’m taking in,,,
Cos I ain’t got you…
