I Tried Love Tab

by Robbie Williams


This is one of the two hidden tracks in Nan's Song (Escapology, 12 min. 10 sec. if you 
to find it).  It's a pretty easy song to learn for an accoustic guitar.

                                 
 Is the Richard Gere gerbil story true?
                            
Who came third in World War Two?
                     
Did Sooty sleep with Sue
                    
These things I think a-bout
             
When I'm out with you

(Piano appegio comes in)
                            
 What are the holes in biros for?
                         
Which one's which in The Corrs?
                       
Did Geoff Hurst really score?
                    
Cause frankly you're a bore
          
And I'm not

(Key change to Am, Piano chords replace appegio)
          
 And if it's le-eaving season
                  
You're second o-on the bill
           
 If you won't le-eave me baby
                     (ring)
I'll find someone who will
       (strum pattern: ,u,)
I tried love
     (ring)
I'm sorry
       (strum pattern: ,u,,,u,,u)
I tried lo-o-ove

(Key change back to D, piano appegio)
                          
 Does God ever get it wrong?
                          
Where has Gary Barlow gone?
                        
Why is Christmas Day so long?
                         
It just goes on and on and on
     
Like you

(Key change to Am, Piano chords replace appegio)
          
 And if it's le-eaving season
                      
You're the se-e-cond o-on the bill
           
 If you won't le-eave me baby
                    
I'll find someone who will
       (strum pattern: ,u,)
I tried lo-o-ove
    
I'm sorry
       (strum pattern: ,u,,,u,,u)
I tried love

 Do do do do do do do do Do do do do do

And he had to breed with Steve
                (ring)
We'd all be ga-ay
