Pay Tax Blues

Bug's one man band chaos - foot drums, 4 string reso, cbg amp, big six harp

Hey everybody,
I was talkin' to you
I been tellin' you jivin',
this is the natural truth
uh hu huh huh
I got the tax man blues
Thinkin' about me and you, what on earth are we gonna do?

My money's gone,
my fun is gone
The way things look,
how can I be here long?
Uh hu hugh
I got them Taxman blues
Thinkin' about me and you,
what on earth are we gonna do?

Taken all my money,
to pay the tax
I'm only givin' you people,
the natural facts
I only tellin' you people,
my belief
Because I am headed straight, on relief
uh huh huh
I got them Taxman blues
Thinkin' about me and you,
what on earth are we gonna do?

(instrumental)

Ain't go a dime,
ain't even got a cent
I don't even have no money,
to pay my rent
My baby needs some clothes,
she needs some shoes
Peoples I don't know what, I'm gonna do
uh hu huh
I got them taxman blues
Thinkin' about me and you, what on earth are we gonna do?

Comment by BUGGY (C) on December 2, 2018 at 9:13pm: Andries the phone sits hovering above about 300mm the mic stand to pic up the whole sound

It's closest to the harp. Hence why it's loudest trying to find

the best position is tricky. Oddly the amp on this one is pointing at the ceiling and is a homemade

cbg amp, it's way right of drums too.

any good tips on one phone to record all the sounds.

as too far away and you loose the voice . Far left nearest my voice and harp seems bar so far.

Appreciate the feedback to help me adjust things.

Thanks for all the comments guys. Check out thousand road blues on YouTube a blues compilation

of some good old stuff .
