What Have They Done to My Song Ma - Melanie Safka - Guitar cover by Dave Monk
Музыка
Here is my cover of "What Have They Done to My Song Ma" by Melanie Safka.
Here I used a New Seekers version backing track.
I am playing it on my Squier Special Stratocaster, through my Korg AX3000G.
I hope you like it. Dave
P.S. I always recommend earphones, preferably earbuds, for a clear sound.

The Song
"What Have They Done to My Song Ma" is a song written and performed by Melanie Safka. It was co-written by HM Saffer II, a notable American painter and musician who worked for Warner Brothers Productions.
It was released in 1970 as the B-side of Melanie's "Ruby Tuesday" single and included on the album Candles in the Rain. The single reached the number 39 in the United Kingdom and peaked within the top 20 in Norway and the Wallonia region of Belgium.
Many other artists have recorded it as "Look What They've Done to My Song Ma", after the song's first line, and this title also is used on Melanie's official KZread page.
Lyrics
Look what they've done to my song, ma
Look what they've done to my song
Well, it's the only thing that I could do half right
And it's turning out all wrong, ma
Look what they've done to my song
Look what they've done to my brain, ma
Look what they've done to my brain
Well, they picked it like a chicken bone
And I think I'm half insane, ma
Look what they've done to my song
I wish I could find a good book to live in
Wish I could find a good book
Will if I could find a real good book
I'd never have to come out and look at
What they've done to my song
La da da da da da da da
La da da da da da da da
La da da da da da da da
La da da da da da
Look what they've done to my song
But maybe, it'll all be all right, ma
Maybe, it'll all be okay
Well, if the people are buying tears
I'll be rich someday, ma
Look what they've done to my song
Ils ont change ma chanson, ma
Ils ont change ma chanson
C'est la seule chose que je peuz faire
Et ce n'est pas bon, ma
Ils ont change ma chanson
Look what they've done to my song, ma
Look what they've done to my song, ma
Well, they tied it up in a plastic bag
Turned it upside down, ma
Look what they've done to my song
Ils ont change ma chanson, ma
Ils ont change ma chanson
C'est la seule chose que je peuz faire
Et ce n'est pas bon, ma
Ils ont change ma chanson
Look what they've done to my song, ma
Ma, look what they've done to my song
It's the only thing I could do all right
And they turned it upside down, oh ma
Look what they've done to my song
