Song title:      Shouting In A Bucket Blues
Original Album:  Bananamour

Words and Music by Kevin Ayers

NOTES:
I've shown different voicings for the chords but play them as you wish.
But I think that alternative D7 (xx5) sounds better than xx0212.
Timing is 4/4.


INTRO:
Notes:
In the "Bm measure", you're only lifting off your index finger but this
changes the chord name. Don't panic. You're back on Bm an off-beat later.

For that D7, and the toggle to D7/6, it might be more easily played as a
barré (x57575 to x57577 and back). Just a suggestion.

D7/6 is U.S. notation for D7add6.

Chords:
G  320033 or x55433 or 355433    D7    x545x5 or x57575
Bm xx4432 or x24432              D7/6  x545x7 or x57577
C  x32010 or x35553              D     xx0232 or x57775
F  x33211 or 133211

VERSE1:
Notes:
Play INTRO Figure for each verse part.

Chords:
G   x55433 or 355433    C   x32010 or x35553
Bm  xx4432 or x24432    D7  x545x5
F   x33211 or 133211    D   x57775


| G           | Bm             | F             | C
    Sometimes I get too drunk, I feel so goddamn low.

| D7             | %           | G      | D7
I have no place to go, no one to turn to.


| G              | Bm            | F               | C
I think about your loving arms and where I'd like to be

       | D7           | %       | G      | D7
But it's selfish as can be, and I know it.


  | G          | Bm            | F            | C
And if I'm sorry for myself, I'm sorry for you, too

     | D7            | %          | G      | D7
'Cause I'm the same as you, and I'm burning.



CHORUS:
Chords:
D7  x545x5    G  x55433
C   x32010    E  022100

| D7            | C          | G                  | E
    So I sing for everyone who feels there's no way out

| C              | %                | G
  Maybe if you all shout someone will hear you

  | D7           | G    [continues as INTRO Figure]
Oh, listen to them shout



[GUITAR SOLO over INTRO Figure]



VERSE2:
Notes:
Play as for VERSE1.

Chords:
G   x55433 or 355433    C    x32010 or x35553
Bm  xx4432 or x24432    D7   x545x5
F   x33211 or 133211


| G                | Bm               | F               | C
    I won't say that I love you, 'cause   that would be a lie

    | D7            | %       | G      | D7
I can only say I try,   and you know it.


| G                 | Bm               | F               | C
    Love is something more and less than words can hope to say

   | D7             | %        | G        | D7
It's something day to day in the life we're living


| G               | Bm          | F                   | C
    Lovers come and lovers go but   friends are hard to find

   | D7            | %         | G     | D7
Yes, I can count all mine on one finger



[repeat CHORUS]

Bm  xx4432 or x24432    D7   x545x5
F   x33211 or 133211


  | G               | Bm          | F            | C
The distance that's between us just never seems to change
        | D7           | %              | G
There's a whole mountain-range of misunderstanding...
