Cream
Politician
Goodbye
1969
I have been playing this song for a while, and I thought I should share it. The song
mostly easy and I have
provided a D Pentatonic Blues Box scale with all of it's attachments. I just thought
some people who don't no much about
scales, knowing how they all fit together is good for making solos and
improv
Lyrics:
Hey now baby, get into my big black car.
Hey now baby, get into my big black car.
I want to just show you what my politics are.
Im a political man and I practice what I preach.
Im a political man and I practice what I preach.
So dont deny me baby, not while youre in my reach.
I support the left, though Im leaning, leaning to the right.
I support the left, though Im leaning to the right.
But Im just not there when its coming to a fight.
Hey now baby, get into my big black car.
Hey now baby, get into my big black car.
I want to just show you what my politics are.
