Cant You See

Afinação: E A D G B ECapotraste: Sem capotraste [Intro] G Cadd9 Play softly throughout spoken intro This is definitely a song about loneliness. Let just say a farm boy from well, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. He might feel that he should do something different than his daddy did. Farming, fishing, coal mining, you know what I mean Not that he's not proud of his daddy but the big city has a way of luring a country boy. He would not be there all too long before he got himself a pretty good job, you know what I mean A factory somewhere, might even work himself up to be foreman someday, you can never tell That still don't help his loneliness. See a man like that needs a good woman Oh, he could find himself a woman pretty quick all right. Some city girls like the way a country boy would treat them They would get themselves an apartment, you know on the 25th floor, apartment 2505 You know what I mean. They would live real well there for quite some time. He'd be bringing home the big bucks It would be a year maybe when he'd be coming home from a couple hours of overtime He 'd be making that long anxious walk down that short corridor, go in that door and then he'd see it, that note, you know the kind of note I mean, Dear John, I'm gone A man like that would have his whole world fall down in front of his face He'd find himself at 4 o'clock in the morning down at the nearest railroad station. He don't really care where he goes. He don't really want to go home to Cape Breton yet. Something about country boys They don't like to go home a failure, you know what I mean.
