FOR MY SYMPATHY (Pete Ham)
[Iveys demo from "How Much Is The Sky (The Iveys Anthology Vol. 4)" CD - recorded 1967 - released 2024]

If you need somebody to hold you tight
Someone who will love you, day and night
If you need someone to do the things you want to do
Call on me for my sympathy

If you feel down-hearted, feel so blue
And you think that happiness is through
If the world depresses you, you know just what to do
Call on me for my sympathy

I can't give you everything, it's pretty plain to see
I ain't got no money, but my sympathy is free
If you feel the world is closing in
And every little noise becomes a din
If you get to feel that you just can't carry on
Call on me for my sympathy

I can't give you everything, it's pretty plain to see
I ain't got no money, but my sympathy is free, yea

Oi!
[wah-wah guitar solo]

If you get to feel that you just can't carry on
Call on me for my sympathy

Doo doo
Doo doo
Doo doo
