No Sugar Tonight / New Mother Nature (by The Guess Who)
(Randy Bachman / Burton Cummings)
<intro a> slow guitar, drums
<verse 1a>
Lonely feeling, deep inside
Find a corner, where I can hide
Silent footsteps, crowding me
Sudden darkness, but I can see
<chorus a>
No sugar tonight for coffee
No sugar tonight in my tea
No sugar to stand beside me
No sugar to run with me
Dot un doo dow dow, dot un doo dow
Dot un doo dow dow, now now
Dot un doo dow dow, dot un doo dow
Dot un doo dow dow
<verse 2a>
In the silence of her mind
Quiet movements where I can find
Grabbin' for me with her eyes
Now I'm fallin' from her skies
repeat <chorus a>
<intro b> slow guitar, drums (similar to intro a)
<verse 1b>
Jocko says yes and I believe him when we talk about the things I say
She hasn't got the faith or the guts to leave him when they're standing
in each other's way
You're drivin' back now to places you've been to, you wonder what you're
gonna find
You know you've been wrong but it won't be long before you leave it all
far behind
<chorus b>
'Cause it's the New Mother Nature takin' over
It's the new spender lady come to call
It's the New Mother Nature takin' over
She's gettin' us all, she's gettin' us all
<verse 2b>
Jocko said no when I came back last time, it's lookin' like I lost a
friend
No use callin' cause the sky is fallin' and I'm gettin' pretty near the
end
A smoke-filled room in a corner basement, the situation must be right
A bag of goodies and a bottle of wine, we're gonna get it on right
tonight
repeat <chorus b>
repeat <verse 1a> and <verse 1b> simultaneously
repeat <chorus b>
repeat last half of <chorus a>
vamp to end
