Proseguendo sul tema di zucchero e caffé, venne in mente quella dei Guess Who, gruppo canadese nato alla fine degli anni Sessanta del secolo scorso, qui in edizione già con la pancetta, ma altrimenti in buona forma musicale.

Pezzo presente nelle playlist di tutti i dinosauri del rock e degli amanti dei pezzi che fanno “du du da da”.

ARTIST: The Guess Who
TITLE: No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature
Lyrics and Chords

[ D* = xx0030 ]

Lonely feeling, deep inside
Find a corner where I can hide
Silent footsteps crowding me
Sudden darkness, but I can see

/ D* D D* D / / / /

{Refrain}
No sugar tonight in my coffee
No sugar tonight in my tea
No sugar to stand beside me
No sugar to run with me
Da do da da…

/ D C / G D / :

In the silence of her mind
Quiet movements where I can find
Grabbing for me with her eyes
Now I’m falling from her skies

{Refrain}

Jock says yes, and I believe him
When we talk about the things I say
She hasn’t got the faith or the guts to leave him
When they’re standing in each other’s way

/ D7 – / / / /

You’re driven back now to places you’ve been to
You wonder what you’re gonna find
You know you’ve been wrong but it won’t be long
Before you leave ‘em all far behind

{Second Refrain}
‘Cause it’s the new mother nature taking over
It’s the new splendid lady come to call
It’s the new mother nature taking over
She’s getting us all, she’s getting us all

/ G7 D7 / / / CD CD /

Jock said no when I came back last time
It’s looking like I lost a friend
No use calling ‘cause the sky is falling
And I’m getting pretty near the end

A smoke filled room in a corner basement
The situation must be right
A bag of goodies and a bottle of wine
We’re gonna get it on right tonight

{Second Refrain}

Lonely feeling
Jock says yes and I believe him
Deep inside
When we talk about the things I say
Find a corner
She hasn’t got the faith or the guts to leave him
Where I can hide
When they’re standing in each other’s way

Silent footsteps
You’re driven back now to places you’ve been to
Crowding me
You wonder what you’re gonna find
Sudden darkness
You know you’ve been wrong and it won’t be long
But I can see
Before you leave ‘em all far behind

{Second Refrain}
