Subject: Lyr Add: TOO MUCH STUFF (from Eric Bibb) From: Jim Dixon Date: 21 Nov 12 - 12:12 PM I can't help with the chords, but I can supply lyrics. This is my transcription from a recording I found on Spotify. It's a delightful song. The tune for the chorus is the same as for the verses: TOO MUCH STUFF As sung by Eric Bibb on "Natural Light" (2003) CHORUS: I ended up – with too much stuff. No matter what it cost me, I couldn't get enough. Got to put it all behind me; got to give it all up. I ended up – with too much stuff. 1. Had to get more money; took a trip to the bank Said, "I'm runnin' on empty; put a tiger in my tank." I got a brand-new guitar; bought a big TV. Got a house in the country and a DVD. 2. Got stuff from the doctor, and the doc ain't cheap. Got stuff to wake me up; they give me stuff to make me sleep. Got stuff to make me happy; got stuff to make me thin. When I get out of it, they give me stuff to get me in. 3. I owe money up the yin-yang, 'cause nothin' comes free. Now they got me where they want me; they got their hooks in me. Four cars in the driveway, three lawyers on my back, Too many complications; one day I'm gonna crack. [It's the same theme as TOO MUCH STUFF sung by Delbert McClinton, but a completely different song.] |

Subject: RE: Chord Req: Too Much Stuff by Eric Bibb From: GUEST,Grishka Date: 21 Nov 12 - 02:43 PM I only found a cover version on YouTube, which mainly uses variants of the A minor chord with various additional notes. Actually blues music cannot be characterized by chord names - you have it or you ain't. |

Subject: RE: Chord Req: Too Much Stuff by Eric Bibb From: GUEST,Hootenanny Date: 21 Nov 12 - 04:12 PM Never heard the song. Is it a blues? Doesn't seem to be from the lyrics. Isn't that also a rather sweeping statement "blues music cannot be characterised by chord names" ? Hoot |

Subject: RE: Chord Req: Too Much Stuff by Eric Bibb From: GUEST,Grishka Date: 22 Nov 12 - 03:04 AM Hoot, I was also surprised by the lyrics. Here is everything I know about the song - judge yourself. My observation refers to modern blues. May the Mudcat experts correct me or be more specific. |
