Almost Cut My Hair

ALMOST CUT MY HAIR- David Crosby

TUNING: C G D D A E (from E A D G B E)

 

Almost cut my hair

It happened just the other day

It was getting kind of long

I could have said it was in my way

C G6 Bb/C# C+10 C+9 C+7 C+5

But I didn't and I wonder why

I feel like letting my freak flag fly

Em11 D7addG C12 C10 C9 C7 C5 C3 C2

And I feel like I owe it to someone

Must be because I had the flu for Christmas

And I'm not feeling up to par

It increases my paranoia

Like looking into a mirror and seeing a police car

But I'm not giving in an inch to fear

Cos I promised myself this year

I feel like I owe it to someone

When I finally get myself together

I'm gonna get down in some of that sweet summer weather

I'm going to find a space inside to laugh

Separate the wheat from the chaff

Cos I feel like I owe it, yeah

Said I feel like I owe it, yeah

You know I feel---- like I owe it yeah to someone

Notes: This is figured out from the solo live version, esp. that from the

U.N. 1989 show. It may not be like the album verion. There are lots of

extra frills and variations that I didn't add, but this should give the

general idea. This is pretty rough since I'm not familiar with this

tuning. I have found out that Tracks in the Dust and Rusty and

Blue are also in this tuning (my previous posting to Olga of Tracks in

the Dust is totally wrong) but I can't make heads or tails of either of

those songs, although I'd really like to play them. If anyone can, let

me know!
