• Song:

    Troubles Somehow

  • Artist:

    The Audreys

  • Album:

    Sometimes The Stars

A distinct lack of Audreys music here!
This one is fun!
A bit of a bluesy feel. Dont be afraid to swing it a bit.
I find when it's just me without the band behind me, a bit of blues driver or overdrive 
goes a long way to fill the gap.
Mute chords for verses and let em ring for chorus to really get some dynamics going.
Very easy song so have fun with it. Listen to the original on the 'Sometimes the Stars' 
album for some guidance on timing.

Intro: Em G
G                                  Em
If youre in the market for some loneliness and heartache
        Dm                          G
well have I got some good news for you
        C                            Em
you can get it for a dollar all you gotta do is holler
      Dm                       G
I can have it in the post by two
            F                   G
if I could sell all my troubles somehow
       Am                       C
oh Id have more money than Id know what to do with
         Dm                         F
and Id shout all my friends to a night on the town
Em                  G
forget whatever had got me down
        C       Em      Dm      G
singing whoa…
            C                              Em
if youre shopping for despair dont just get it anywhere
                Dm              G
Ive got the finest stuff around
          C                             Em
if youre looking out for sorrow I can get more by tomorrow
       Dm            G
I take orders by the pound
             F                  G
if I could sell all my troubles somehow
       Am                       C
oh Id have more money than Id know what to do with
      Dm                  F
Id buy a big bag and Id get real high
Em                 G
float on into that big old sky
        C       Em      Dm      G
singing whoa…
           F                    G
if I could sell all my troubles somehow
     Am                      C
Id have more money than Id know what to do with
        Dm                      F
and Id buy a big house and a big fancy car
       Em               G
and feel just like a movie star

        C       Em      Dm      G
singing whoa…
            F                   G
if I could sell all my troubles somehow
       Am                       C
oh Id have more money than Id know what to do with
        Dm                      F
and Id tell the whole world how you broke my heart
    Em                 G
and end up right back at the start
