Cold on the Shoulder - guitar chords and comments
Lyrics without distraction HERE
Though countless and various artists list him as a mentor and favorite songwriter, Gordon Lightfoot's scores as an artist is low, compared with many of those who have recorded his songs, with million-selling results. But he's had a few. In February 1975 he released "Cold on the Shoulder" both as single and album; in March it reached #10 at the album charts, and in October he included it with new album "Gord's Gold".
The song is typical Lightfoot: simple, solid and catchy craftswork.
And besides; funny how many good artists Canada has come up with.
E A
all you need is time
A7 E
all you need is time time time to make me bend
A
give it a try don't be rude
A7 E
put it to the test and I'll give it right back to you
B7 B7sus4
it's cold on the shoulder
A A7 E
and you know that we get a little older every day
The bio I leave You with the icon at the bottom doesn't mention that Gordon Meredith Lightfoot Jr. [CC OOnt], born November 1938, died of natural causes at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre in Toronto on May 1, 2023, at the age of 84.
Bless him ... and all canadian folk singers!
