I'm sure I've posted these before but couldn't find them.
SLIGHTLY FADED
David Campbell(Guyana)

(D)Walking tightly, (G)swaying slightly
You (A)come back looking (D)slightly faded
Morning sunshine, (G)shining whitely
(A)On your lips a (D)faded red

Ch
But you know darn well
I (G)know you comp(D)letely
And you can't fool (Em)me
You (A)can't fool (D)me

Your brain is burning your eyes are turning
From me they can't face me squarely
In this morning all my learning
Says things aren't what they should be

Your hair is tumbling your hand is fumbling
For the ring I gave you wildly
Onwards stumbling your lips are mumbling
Trying to find the words for me

No use talking keep on walking
Move on fast you sporting lady
On your night beat good times stalking
Go on being what you should be

But you know darn well ('Cause we've been here before)
I know you completely (And it's one time too many)
And you can't fool me (And you can't fool me)
You can't fool me

This is supposedly a true story of when David Campbell discovered that the lady he was engaged to was earning her living as a prostitute.
