The False Hearted Tenor Waltz
By John Hartford
Track Number 06 on:  Nobody Knows What You Do (1976)
Transcribed by:  Verne Garrison ***From You Tube video
Banjo tuned [E], Capo 3, Key of [A]

  [A]               
My false-hearted tenor
            [D]
Falsetto's so high
                    
I'll watch all you dobros
               [A]
As they slide on by


My person is lonely
                    [D]
I think it is because

My voice is not high
                    [A]
And real thin like a saw


It really would be slick now
                     [D]
If I learned how to sing
                    [E]        
But they tell me to pick now
           [E]      [A]
Cause that is my thing

Instrumental:
                        
It's gin mill and settle(?)
A voice without heart
I'm out in the meadow
And I can't find my part

Just because I quit smoking
And I sit on a stool
And sing all them love songs
Like any damn fool

Remember the tenor
When we render this waltz
I pick on a Fender
In a tenor that's false*********  Did you correct this rudyroost? and add the 
paragraph below? If so thanks, v.g.

Instrumental:
*************
In my highest falsetto I can't sing this high
But I damned sure would like to and that's why I try
My voice would be always two pitches too low
When I want to get high and get up like Monroe
But me no soprano without any pause
Just a jug-throated croaker in a tenor that's false
