the only one making a sound
I can't work out what I want to see
I bury my thoughts in the ground
All the seeds you sow
are just looking for a space to grow

So sleep, sleep and lay your white body down
So sleep, sleep and lay your white body down

No matter what you do it all returns to you
No matter what you say you'll hear it all someday
No matter what you do it all returns to you
No matter what you say you'll hear it all someday
No matter what you do it all returns to you
No matter what you say you'll hear it all someday"

When I first heard this song, sometime in the '90's I always wanted to learn the little guitar riff at the beginning. I can remember teaching myself to play the guitar, and thinking I would never understand how to read tabs or how to actually play them. I can remember trying to play the riff and thinking it was the most complicated thing ever. Of course, it's not that complicated at all, but I never really tried to play it after I learned how to really play the guitar. I just downloaded the new single by Teenage Fanclub a few days ago, and have been sort of on a kick listening to them, especially the album "Thirteen". So while doing some laundry this morning, I decided to go ahead and look up the chords for 'Gene Clark' and of course looking at it after playing the guitar for about 10 years now, I couldn't believe how simple the song was. Needless to say, I was playing it over and over just for the heck of it. Kenzie joined me on drums, until she got bored and started playing with the few toys we have in the basement. I really need to play live music more often. I forget how much I enjoy it, until I actually pick up the guitar to play.
