Here is my first impression on McCartney's new album Driving Rain. I'm
very impressed again by the quality of the songs.
One thing: listen to these songs at least five times before judging
them. A McCartney original is really something else, you have to get
used to it, it doesn't sound familiar the first time you hear it like
most of the "new" songs that come out.
I'm working on the lyrics and chords so you can play them and enjoy the
beauty of these songs. Don't look at the lay-out of this page. It's the
content that matters. Have fun.

She's given up talking, won't say a word
Em/C# Em/C
Even in the class room, not a dicky-bird

She's given up talking, won't say a word

Someone made her angry, someone's got her scared
Em/C# Em/C Em
She's given up talking, won't say a word

Words are running freely like the water from a tap

But when she's back at school again she goes into a daze
