Rab Noakes - Dishonest

      Rab Noakes - Dishonest



[INTRO:] G   D7   D   G      D7   D   G

[VERSE 1:]

There's a woman I knew
            D7 
To have her own point of view
    D                         G
She could have been someone someday
                              D7
She got a little bit of fame
    
A bit of a name
     D                      G
Took on what the sycophants say


[VERSE 2:]
    C
The world's turning fast
G
Nothing will last
       Bm                  D
It was all going on in her head
       Em
Giving credit that's due
            Am
Is something she couldn't do
                   D                  G
"'Cause that would be dishonest", she said


[INTERLUDE:] G   D7   D   G


[VERSE 3:]

She was creative in part
        D7 
But she wasn't that smart
            D                        G
The way she thought she made her own tools

She would not see it then
        D7
How she hid behind men
D                      G
All of the guidance of fools


[VERSE 4:]
    C
She lived in a dream
  G
A hell littered scheme
Bm                         D
Trying to make silver from lead
    Em
She thought she could wait
             Am
And not make everything late
         D                  G
"I can't be dishonest", she said


[INSTRUMENTAL:] G   D7   D   G      D7   D   G
                C   G   Bm   D   Em   Am   D   G


[VERSE 5:]

When she enters a room
             D7 
She spreads her own sense of gloom
           D                    G
Though she says it's someone else's pain

With her heart on her sleeve
       D7
She'll have you believe
            D                  G
The way she says it again and again


[VERSE 6:]
      C
She's well past her youth
           G
She can't face up to the truth
    Bm                   D
She won't even see it is dead
             Em
She does the trip by herself
          Am
No help from anyone else
            D                 G
"That would be dishonest", she said


[OUTRO:]
                  D7 
Ooh ooh ooh ooooh ooooh
D                 G
Ooh ooh ooh ooooh ooooh
                  D7 
Ooh ooh ooh ooooh ooooh
            D                  G
"That would be dishonest", she said
