How Many Times Do You Have To Fall

Fairport Convention

Text File

This is really catchy little tune that I believe is from Red and Gold. It reminds
me a bit of the old Walk Awhile and I can sure relate to the poor guy in the song
every time I'm in the doghouse! Whenever I play this somebody wants to learn it.
Simon Nicol and Ric Sanders are constantly full of surprizes and this is one of
their treasures. I kept it simple so that  anybody can enjoy this fun song.

Intro. AAA/EEE/DDDD/AA
A                    E                      D           A        A
You broke my heart so many times that I can't count the pieces. Every time
E                    D            A           E
you push me down, it seems my love increases. How many times do you have to 
A     E                        D        A                     E        
fall, while others stand there gawking? How many times do you have to fall,
D                 A
before you end up walking? 

I tried to give you all I have, to prove that I'm not bluffing. They say it's a
man with nothing to lose who winds up losing nothing.  My head is full of dreams
and schemes and my tongue tied up from talking.  How many times do you have to
fall, before you end up walking?

I tried to give you all I have, I thought our love was strong.  I always thought
I'd treat you right, how did I get you wrong? Won't you even open up the door to
see the wares I'm hawking? How many times do you have to fall, before you end up
walking?

Won't you give me one more chance? I couldn't do much worse. I emptied out my
heart for you before it has to burst.  I'm too hungry not to wait, you're the
game I'm stalking.  How many times do you have to fall, before you end up walking?
