I saw that you had "Light it on fire"  and "How do you tell someone"
listed, but when I tried to open them, it said the file contained no data.
Since I sent them in a while back (I assume it was my postings which
should be listed there), here are the two songs and some others...

"How do you tell someone" by Cowboy Mouth
Written and sung by Fred LeBlanc
>From the MCA album "Are you with me?"
Previously released on the Monkey Hill/Ichiban "It Means Escape"

This song is really very simple, and only uses G, C, D, and Em.  However,
they use a cheating C (C9?) and put the 3rd finger on the 2nd string, not
the first, for the G.
G = 320030	C=032030	D=000232	Em=022000
This way, (Except for Em), the 3rd finger stays planted the whole song.
 
G		 D		 C	       G
Tina says "don't talk to me like I am deaf and dumb
      G		      D		   C		  D
we've broken down and broken up so much that I am numb
G		  D		   C		  G
talk about, don't shout about, the people we've become"
	  G		    C	   D	G
There's a little girl who's crying over here.
 
Note that lines 2 and 4 are different from 1 & 3, which are the same.
 
Each verse is the same.
 
 
Chorus:
	     Em		C		  D
Did you ever know me, I swear that I have tried
(repeat this pattern 3 times)
 
G		    C		  D
How do you tell someone you don't love them?
G		    C		  D
How do you tell someone you don't care anymore?
G		    C		  D	       C
How do you tell someone you don't love them anymore?
 
 
Bridge:
Em	 D	  C
Fighting makes me tired
(repeat pattern 4 times)

Tina says don't talk to me Like I'm deaf and dumb We've broken down and broken up So much that I am nub Talk about...don't shout about The people we've become There's a little girl Who's crying over here Michael says don't shout at me Like I was born a fool You speak of love and scream of love Now dare to treat me cruel Nothing's fair in love and war So please let's make some rules There's a little boy Who's crying over here Did you ever know me? I swear that I have tried Did you ever need me? I feel like I have died Did you ever want me? I swear that I have tried How do you tell someone you don't love them? How do you tell someone you don't care anymore? How do you tell someone you don't love them anymore? Tina says the pictures That we took are put away Inside a box of memories For cold and reainy days Poems in pencil rhyming With the things you'd never say There's a little girl Who's crying over here Michael's old engagement picture's In a wooden box His wooden heart is Tough as nails and solid as a rock Keeps himself protected With a combination lock There's a little boy Who's crying over here Fighting makes me tired And my eyes crying makes me tired There's a spy? hurting makes me tired Hold me tight lying makes me tired Tina says I wish that I had never seen your smile Your name is written on my soul In alphabetic file All I've got's my dignity So I will leave in style There's a million of us crying over here Any time I talk to you There's no one listening every time I reach for you there's no one there And everywhere I look for you, You're no where to be found I swear
