Subject: Lyr Add: FALSE HEARTED LOVER'S BLUES (Dock Boggs) From: Jim Dixon Date: 14 May 08 - 10:59 PM FALSE-HEARTED LOVER'S BLUES As sung by Dock Boggs on "Early Country Stars"[1]
1. False hearts have been my downfall; pretty women have been my crave.
2. They'll bite the hand that feeds them, spend all the money you can save,
3. When my earthly stay is over, sink my dead body in the sea.
4. Ragged clothes [are] dropping from my body; the wolf howls around my door.
5. Corn whiskey has wrecked my body; a false-hearted lover is a ban[3] on my mind. [Repeat 3]
6. If I meet my darling girl again, I'll tell her all about my troubles.
7. All men take this timely warning; it is both for young and old:
8. Take warning, you fair young ladies: if your love and honor you have sold, [Repeat 3]
- - - 2. Stanley and Helm sing "watch." 3. Sic. Maybe he means "bane"? 4. Sic. Stanley and Helm sing "stranded in the shallows." |
Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: False Hearted Lover's Blues From: GUEST Date: 12 Feb 09 - 08:32 AM I think for Helm's version is Capo 2nd fret: Em - B7 (or B - I use B7 for more bluesy sound) (x4) all the verses (x3) third, sixth and eighth verse In the last rhyme of the third, sixth and eighth verse we got Em - G - A - B7 - D - B7 - Em Sorry I type it this way but I think you'll understand |
Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: False Hearted Lover's Blues From: GUEST,Rusty Date: 05 Oct 09 - 06:45 AM This song is using DADGAD tuning, Capo on 4th fret. Try that , it will all make sense. Russ |
Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: False Hearted Lover's Blues From: GUEST,The wrong John Williams Date: 07 Sep 11 - 09:11 AM Anyone looking for the way Levon Helm plays this song should follow Rusty's advice (posted 05 Oct 09). I've never played anything in DADGAD before, but have just spent an enjoyable half hour picking out the riff. Many thanks Russ! |

Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: False Hearted Lover's Blues From: GUEST Date: 28 Jun 13 - 03:55 PM Same as in any other tuning. |
Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: False Hearted Lover's Blues From: GUEST,Ed Date: 29 Mar 14 - 06:22 PM This blog was really useful. Here's a chord chart for this interesting tuning: http://dartz.spb.ru/studio/dadgad/res/dadgad.pdf The guidance above for how to capo 4 and pick out the licks to Levon's version of False Hearted Lover Blues is SPOT ON! I agree with the earlier poster that it is quite fun to pick out the licks, once Russ got me in the neighborhood! (Like so many licks, it's fairly straightforward if you know where to start... damned near impossible otherwise!) Thanks folks. ed |
