Soul on Ice Graham Parker

Intro  D Bm  D Bm  D Bm 

 

A            F#m     Bm  E      A            F#m   Bm  E  

Every story told me,        is wasted on my ears

A                  F#m     Bm  E        A             F#m   Bm  E  

Ah someone else's therapy,        well someone else's fears 

F#m                   E                   

Every body said ah come onto my side,

F#m                    E                   

just to lead me up a blind alley way

F#m                    D     A                  

Nothing worse than a fool's advice

         E                      D      

And it aint't hot enough for a soul on ice

 

DHORUS

F#m                     E        D

Freezin Freezin like a soul on ice

Freezin Freezin like a soul on ice

F#m                     D         E  D   E

Freezin Freezin like a soul on ice, Freezin!

 

Try to read the sharp words but they don't even cut 

They're stupid and they're absurd, they're just another rut

Well baby I am gonna crash on a main road 

Yeah and I am run aground on a sea

Nothing worse than a fool's advice

And it aint't hot enough for a soul on ice

 

CHORUS  ends on A then BRIDGE

D                   

Nothing I can do, babe I'm trying to 

A

Can't even get a hand from you

D

Like a stranglehold, way you least expect

E             A         E       F#m     E    F#m      D    E          

Stand right here baby, freeezin too, freezin too, freezin too, 

                        D   Bm         D   Bm

                       freezin        freezin

 

Everybody's sweet words they fall on stony ground

There's nothing that they can do, can do, can do

to thaw this soul down 

Well, every body said ah come onto my side,

just to lead me up a blind alley way

Nothing worse than a fool's advice

And it aint't hot enough for a soul on ice
