I like the song, epecially the last 2 verses which made me smile first
time I heard it

Kur astinome, kur astinom, kur astinome mhn baras
Kur astinome mhn baras giati kala to keries
Pos h douleia ma eina auth, kai resta mh gireueis

Emeis trome, emeis trome, emeis tromw ta laxana
Emeis trome ta laxana-a-a,. tsimpame th pantofles
Gia na mas blepoun taxtika, ths fulakhs h portes

Mr policeman, policeman, Mr policeman don't beat down hard on us,
Mr pliceman don't beat down hard on us,caue you know all too well
That our job is this, and be looking for no pay off

We eat, we eat, we eat the cabbages (wallets),
We eat the cabbages, we pinch the slippers (forgot what this meant),
So that the prison doors would see us often

I like this version by Sotiria Bellou

Been trying to pick it up, I have the basics but stuff up epecially
with the non singing part.. any pointers or other version to listen to
are welcome..

Thanks, what is everyone else listening to or playing at the moment ?

Hi mastouras

The song was originally entitled Oi Lahanades and there were several
versions recorded under that title during the mid-30s around the time
when it was written by Papazoglou. Here are a couple of them

lead guitar)

Peristeris on lead guitar)

Cheers

Thanks Tambouras, Yes I've heard theoe versions, Ithink I also have
the Roukouna one I think on cd. I liked the clarity on the Sotiria
version for ease of me learnign it.. well sort of...

I'm very amateur, but now that I hve decent instrument, want to make
more of an effort.. Still finding the intro a difficult as 2 weeks
ago....

EUREKA !

Thanks to a little inspiration from a friend, a little help from
windows media player and a decent instrument, I think I got it !

I was starting at the wrong note (????), it sounds pretty much ok till
you get toward the top of the fretboard and realise the melody now
start to climb down and it doen't fit.. Tortured myelf trying to learn
this lol... then listening to it, again, slowed down on media player I
hit 3 note further down and found the starting point and the rest of
it fit from there.

So now I know the intro/chorus & the inging parts Now I have to learn
to actually play it !

Absolutely loving the tzoura, grat to finally have a real instrument
in good condition, if only I can beomce 1/4 the player that it is an
instrument.

Cheers....
