More Fool Me - Genesis

This is a video I recorded this past march by request. Since I posted the video of this song a few years ago I always wanted to redo it using a proper tuning. Here it’s again using this time E Major tuning which I think is the one Mike Rutherford used on the album (EBEG#BE). The capo at 1st fret was to facilitate the high tuning (after breaking a few g strings!) and also the playing (tough action on my guitar). Music by Mike Rutherford and Phil Collins on Genesis’ “Selling England by the Pound“. Lyrics: Here am I Who while away the mornings Since you’ve gone Too long have I lay alone Not knowing which way to turn. And there you are Quite sure that you were right Knowing full well That I’d be the first one To go down. And you’d be the one who was laughing Except when things were’nt going you’re way Then the lady would say that she’d had enough Wandering around on her own. The day you left I think you knew you’d not be back Well at least it would seem that way Because you never said goodbye. But when it comes round to you and me I’m sure it will work out alright. And you’d be the one who was laughing Giving me something I don’t need You know, I’d always hold you and keep you warm Oh! more fool me. But when it comes Round to you and me I ask myself Do I really believe In your love. Yes, I’m sure it will work out alright.
