11 open blues 1971

This is another one based around an odd open tuning. I never got into that as much as some people (as it was a total pain to retune at the club) but it could be useful for generating unusual arrangements.. not that you’d necessarily notice that on this one.

I never think of things that go wrong
I don’t believe in anybody’s song
But when I’m standing here distant from you
I still remember the things that you do

Too many people running around
time is so empty now tumbling down
and in the midst of all the hollow to do
figures are moving all of them you

as the hours decay in the rafter
and the days slink away on the floor
so the room still resounds to your laughter
though forgetting what laughter is for
