So, the handsome mando player and i were listening to a cd sans cover, that a friend gave us. Tune (on irish cd) sounded very bloody familiar, and thought, and thought and thought............it is an older Fleetwood Mac tune, and i can remember ONE freakin line! Melody line is strong on guitar, pretty simple, lots of sliding on the wound strings. Lyric fragment...."I've been there one time, I've been there two times" Found tons of sites, but can't remember the title. Anyone out there with a better memory than i? Thanks, all

Fleetwood Mac - Never Going Back Again Lyrics
Answered my own question! "Never going back again" is the title, and here is the lyrics:



NEVER GOING BACK AGAIN

She broke down and let me in
Made me see where I've been

Been down one time
Been down two times
I'm never going back again

You don't know what it means to win
Come down and see me again

Been down one time
Been down two times
I'm never going back again

Thanks for reminding me of this song...it is one of my favorite Fltwd Mac's....quite different from most of their music and very effective.

Great track! The Rumours album lives in my CD-changer - I miss it too much if I swap it out...

Apparently Lindsay Buckingham played it in drop-D tuning. It's infinitely easier though played with A dropped to G and bottom E dropped to C - I got this from a guitar mag about 3 years back, although the name of the mag escapes me. Anyway, play it in C - you just need first two fingers of C chord (hammering on) for the main riff, and for the high bit (second half of verse) bar the D to E strings at fret 5. Mess around with that, listen to the CD and it'll all come together.

Be warned that it's surprisingly difficult to sing. Not only is the guitar part tricky (so it's hard to sing and play at the same time), but the vocal covers a fair range, and it jumps up there instead of moving up there in stages.

Oh, and it sounds much better on the CD bcos Lindsay Buckingham has double-tracked it and harmonises with himself occasionally. Short of playing it on a 12-string, that's not going to happen for us, unless you've got a friend who can play it with you. ;-)

Graham.

PS. Yes, it's a cracking song.

You just haven't lived until you've heard it played with bouzouki, accordian, and fiddle! Thats what took me so long.
