Tina
A fan of Tina Turner finds solace in the fact that his heroine lived through worse than the troubles he may find himself in.
LYRICS & CHORDS
Intro: (Eb) (F) (Bb)
(Bb) She stood by her man
Though his (Gm) temper often flared
She (Eb) thought he was the key
To the (F) fame they both shared
"River (Bb) deep, Mountain High"
It's (Gm) gonna work out fine
But (Eb) day after day
He be(F)came such a (Bb) swine
When the (Eb) night closes in
And (Bb) I'm feeling blue
I (F) think of the worse days
That (Eb) Tina lived (Bb) through.
(Bb) He trademarked her name
So (Gm) if she ever left
He (Eb) had a legal claim
That would (F) leave her bereft
He (Bb) put it around
With the (Gm) groupies on the tour
And (Eb) if she complained
He (F) beat her some (Bb) more
CHORUS
(Bb) Through suicide attempts
Through a (Gm) bitter divorce
Through (Eb) legal complications
Tina (F) held back her remorse
She (Bb) clung to her sure hope
Her ca(Gm)reer would revive
(Eb) Learned some Buddhist chants
That (F) helped her to sur(Bb)vive
CHORUS
(Bb) I keep her in mind
When (Gm) things don't go my way
When I (Eb) feel that I'm living
Mc(F)Cartney's "Yesterday"
I (Bb) play my favourite songs of hers
When(Gm)ever I get depressed
She (Eb) chases that black dog away
She's (F) simply the (Bb) best
CHORUS
