Tudo tem início em 1962, quando Francis Rossi e o baixista Alan Lancaster se unem para formar um grupo chamado The Scorpions (muito antes do outro Scorpions alemão). Depois de algum tempo de garagem, a banda passou a se chamar The Spectres, e logo com a mudança de nome, passaram a se ligar mais em guitarras, graças ao rock de Cliff Richard (na época um verdadeiro “Elvis” inglês). Nessa época conhecem o baterista John Coghlan, que tocava em outra banda das redondezas, o The Cadets.
Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
A great song, also on Francis' solo album. Slightly different then that version, but good. I only got the chords so far, but enjoy them, anyway.
GB When the streets are empty late at night GB Just the silence fills me with delight, s'alright CCm Rain is falling, trees are still GEm My mind is racing but my heart is as well AmDG It's not funny, it's a shame
GB He's the greatest fighter in the world GB Got into a brawl over some girl, sweet girl CCm He'll get better, the scars will heal GEm His eyes will open but his heart never will AmDG It's not funny, it's a shame
Em There's a funny side to it all C Seeing someone else take a fall Am When it's you it happens to, sending you GBmEm Tumbling, tumbling, sends you tumbling on
Such a funny side to it all C Take another tumble and fall AmBm (hold) Everybody's tumbling, tumbling on
[Solo - same chords as verse]
GB Different strokes for different folks, it's true (so true) GB Changes in our lives go right on through and through CCm It gets better as time goes on GEm Some of us are gonna end up alone AmDG It's not funny, it's a shame
There's a funny side to it all Seeing someone else take a fall When it's you it happens to, sending you Tumbling, tumbling, sends you tumbling on Such a funny side to it all Take another tumble and fall Everybody's tumbling, tumbling on
There's a funny side to it all Seeing someone else take a fall When it's you it happens to, sending you Tumbling, tumbling, sends you tumbling on Such a funny side to it all Take another tumble and fall Everybody's tumbling, tumbling on
When the streets are empty late at night Just the silence fills me with delight, s'alright Rain is falling, trees are still My mind is racing but my heart is as well It's not funny, it's a shame
He's the greatest fighter in the world Got into a brawl over some girl, sweet girl He'll get better, the scars will heal His eye will open but his heart never will It's not funny, it's a shame
There's a funny side to it all Seeing someone else take a fall When it's you it happens to, sending you Tumbling, tumbling, sends you tumbling on Such a funny side to it all Take another tumble and fall Everybody's tumbling, tumbling on
