How many times do you have to fall - fingerpicking instrumental version

[chunk]

Just posting this to see if the mp3 player comes up this time.
It's a Richard Thompson song

[Blooby]

Came through great. "Senor" is possessed.

Lovely playing on this. Wish I could fingerpick like this. Love the intermittent Celtic flourishes.

Could you recommend a Richard Thompson album that showcases his acoustic side for me?

Cheers.

Hi Blooby
You could try Small Town Romance, which is an acoustic live album.Also there is a couple of great studio acoustic tracks you should check out, Beeswing and also 1952 Vincent Black Lightning.

Lyrics:
You broke my heart so many times
I can't count the pieces
Everytime you push me down
It seems my strength increases
How many times do you have to cry
While people stand there gawking
How many times do you have to fall
Before you end up walking

I tried to give you all I had
To prove that I'm not bluffing
They say it's a man with nothing to lose
Who ends up losing nothing
My head's full of scheming schemes
My tongue's tied up with talking
How many times do you have to fall
Before you end up walking

I tried to give you all I had
I thought my love was strong
I thought that I could treat you right
How did I treat you wrong
O won't you even open the door
To see the wares I'm hawking
How many times do you have to fall
Before you end up walking

O won't you give me one more chance
I couldn't do no worse
Empty out my heart for you
Before it has to burst
I'm too hungry not to win
But you're the game I'm stalking
How many times do you have to fall
Before you end up walking

sweet as a nut. soft as a cashew but poignant as a pistachio.

[Oldrottenhead]
