The true story of Barbarians drummer Victor `Moulty` Moulton, who lost
his left hand at age 14 when a homemade pipe bomb exploded prematurely.
When I was a beat-crazed teen I thought Moulty was just about the coolest
guy in the history of the eardrum (as a beat-crazed middle-ager I still
do) and named my first band `The Moults` in his honor. Go back to my
home directory and follow the appropriate link to find out what Moulty
is up to nowadays. --AWR

Verse 1:
(spoken):
G9
I remember the days when things were real bad for me
Fmaj7 G9
It was right after my accident, when I lost my hand
Fmaj7
It seemed like I was all alone, with nobody to help me
Em F
You know, I almost gave up all my hopes and dreams
G
But then - then - then something inside me kept tellin` me
G7
Way down inside of me - over and over again
G9
To keep goin` on - yeah, on!
Chorus 1:
C F G F [bass: bend D to Eb]
Moulty!
C F G F
Don`t turn away (you`re gonna make it, baby)
C F G F
Don`t turn away (ah, try to make it, baby)
C F/A /F Eb G
Don`t turn away
Verse 2:
Things are better for me now `cause I found that I love music
So I learned to play the drums and got myself a band, and now
we`re startin` to make it
And if you can make it at somethin` you love - wow, you got it all!
So I`m sayin` this to all of you
All of you who think you`ll never make it
All of you guys and girls `cause you think you`re so bad off
Or maybe you think you`re a little different or strange
So listen to me, now, `cause I`ve lived through it all
Chorus:
Moulty!
Don`t turn away (you gotta keep on tryin`)
Don`t turn away (well, don`t you give up, baby)
Don`t turn away
Verse 3 (first three lines only):
Now there`s just one thing that I need - not sympathy, and I don`t
need no pity -
But a girl - a real girl - one who really loves me - and then I`ll
be the complete man.
So I`m gonna tell you - right now - listen!
Coda [repeat to fade]:
C F G F
Don`t turn away (you gotta baby)
C F G F
Don`t turn away (you gotta keep on tryin`)
