I’m starting to learn the song Cold Cold Heart by Hank Williams. This is a lesson in Koand’s groundbreaking audiobook How To Learn Guitar and Y - available on audible. The message is that we can’t get back together unless we can find a way to trust each other.
I illustrated the lesson in the video below and it’s what I’m following in order to learn this song.
Koand in teacher mode is certainly to my liking.
"I Can't Say Her Name"
How can I show my face?
I'm a mess
And I fear I may confess
I'm a fool with or without her
Make up what you will about her
It's part of the game
I can't say her name
I've been left in the dark
Shine a light
Right in my eyes
You'll never make me talk
Alibis I must protect
An alias you won't detect
I won't place the blame
I can't say her name
I whisper it so soft and slow
When I think no one's listening
No one knows
The thought of her so strong and slow
Stays on my mind
I won't ever let her go
How can I go to sleep?
When I know all too well I'm in this thing too deep
It's all I can do not to shout about it
I don't need your pity
I'm powerless and proud
And I don't feel ashamed
Oh, but I can't say her name
