Anyone who actually has a taste in music will understand that this "drugged up, skinny wreck" is in fact, one of the greatest British musicians, ever. Despite the bad public image, Pete Doherty is an amazing poet cross rocker. He is a real English music icon.
I knew every word of this song, yet until I heard this (originally around 6years ago, and I keep coming back) I never truly appreciated it for the touching, emotional love song it is.
For those who were looking for tabs, I *think* he is playing tuned down a whole step, and has also transposed it down half a step (confusing!) So to play it in standard tuning, the chords would be A E and D for the verses, then A E Fm Bm in the chorus. This sounds about right!
Listen i appreciate pete, my idol is LG , but this man is class, enjoy him wile he's here.. better than anything recent and this is drugg up pete 11 years ago and still cooler and better than any modern artists.. geeza, c'mooooon
Although I was a big fan of Culture Club, I got so tired of hearing this song as it was so over-played. This version makes a welcome change...Thankyou Peter xxx
this is awesome. PLEASE dont cancel the babyshambles gig in MONTREUX!!! ive worked hard to get to see u all. so PLEASE.really. so excited=D lots of love from switzerland!
[Verse 1] Desert loving in your eyes all the way If I listened to your lies, would you say I'm a man without conviction I'm a man who doesn't know? How to sell a contradiction You come and go, you come and go [Hook] Karma karma karma karma karma chameleon You come and go, you come and go Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dreams Red gold and green, red gold and green [Verse 2] Didn't hear your wicked words every day And you used to be so sweet, I heard you say That my love was an addiction When we cling, our love is strong When you go, you're gone forever You string along, you string along [Hook] [Bridge] Every day is like survival You're my lover, not my rival Every day is like survival You're my lover, not my rival [Verse 3] I'm a man (a man) without conviction I'm a man (a man) who doesn't know How to sell (to sell) a contradiction You come and go, you come and go [Hook]
You see, the fact is we don't know how all these men would have been without drugs. Maybe they would've been even greater than they actually are. Or maybe drugs didn't change anything, and this is how they're meant to be. Peter Doherty is pure genius by the way, I love you Peter.
PETER WOW THE HAIR OK LOOKS GREAT ON U HAPPY HOLIDAYS COME PLAY LAS VEGAS ASAP BE SAFE THIS HOLIDAY SEASON CLEAN AND SERENE U LOOK AND SOUND GREAT 2015 (MEXICO CITY GIG LOOKED AWSOME)...
thanks for the chord info, I appreciate the assisstance, yeah tuning up and down is a pain, I ll have to learn this one the hard way, oh well , cheers and Pete is a legend
Aw, Pete's serenading the maids who are picking up the debris from the party. That was so sweet of him, but they could have been a little quieter with those plastic bags.
Aye, don't do drugs with "pals". Always watch who you are hanging about with. You matter as a person, unique as Pete is he was addicted to hedonism as a replacement for love.
can't be sure that drugs are responsible for their amazing music, one needs to already have an ability in order to be an artist. F.e. even if I took drugs I doubt I would come out with anything worth listening to, that's all.
if you don't want to deal with the tuning business its verse: Bb / F / Eb / F / Eb / Gm / F chorus: Bb / F / Gm / Cm / Bb / F the "every day" bit is : Eb / Dm / Eb / Gm play that twice but on the second time strum the Gm for one bar and throw in an F. like Eb / Gm/F
alrite i give ya great congratulations, for giving it a go, and trying to copy, ya the only Cover, i have heard of this song, that is pretty good.. :) good job. :P

Nothing that A level Music could teach anyone ... you either have it or you dont
Lol Peter to become head music teacher
Thank you.
Agree
he's shite
Something very peaceful here
THANKYOU FOR THE FEEDBACK. Peter had returned from a detox in Harrogate that morning.
I knew every word of this song, yet until I heard this (originally around 6years ago, and I keep coming back) I never truly appreciated it for the touching, emotional love song it is.
You never cease to amaze me pete.
I never really enjoyed the song until hearing this version.
i love him...i can understand his problems...being a recovering addict myself
Deleted scene from Trainspotting..
hahahaha :-D
renton himself
How ironic as transpotting was about smack
that's the point... what's ironic about it...
that's why the comparison was made in the first place, so nothing quite ironic.
Only Peter can make me dig this song
so happy he cleaned up
oh my good god...i love him so much. this video is perfect.
Good god, this cover made me realize how pretty these lyrics are
Realise*
For those who were looking for tabs, I *think* he is playing tuned down a whole step, and has also transposed it down half a step (confusing!)
So to play it in standard tuning, the chords would be A E and D for the verses, then A E Fm Bm in the chorus. This sounds about right!
I used to have that wallpaper in my bedroom as a kid!
Peter, you could read aloud from the telephone book while you played, and it would sound beautiful!
exactly!!! x
How? He doesn't sing in tune nor with character. The guitar is horribly out of tune as well.

Pete's voice sounds just beautiful on this.
Although I was a big fan of Culture Club, I got so tired of hearing this song as it was so over-played. This version makes a welcome change...Thankyou Peter xxx
Beautiful.
It's even cuter than the original.
I actually had this wallpaper when I was a kid

[Verse 1]
Desert loving in your eyes all the way
If I listened to your lies, would you say
I'm a man without conviction
I'm a man who doesn't know?
How to sell a contradiction
You come and go, you come and go
[Hook]
Karma karma karma karma karma chameleon
You come and go, you come and go
Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dreams
Red gold and green, red gold and green
[Verse 2]
Didn't hear your wicked words every day
And you used to be so sweet, I heard you say
That my love was an addiction
When we cling, our love is strong
When you go, you're gone forever
You string along, you string along
[Hook]
[Bridge]
Every day is like survival
You're my lover, not my rival
Every day is like survival
You're my lover, not my rival
[Verse 3]
I'm a man (a man) without conviction
I'm a man (a man) who doesn't know
How to sell (to sell) a contradiction
You come and go, you come and go
[Hook]
Yeah we all know the words ya twat
brilliant version
What a cover :)
Brilliant!
Cette chanson est superbe et tu la chante vraiment trop bien Pete 🎇🎇🎇🎇

i love this cover.
this makes me cry
Bravo 👏
Aye, don't do drugs with "pals".
Always watch who you are hanging about with. You matter as a person, unique as Pete is he was addicted to hedonism as a replacement for love.
yes it does indeed help, I really appreciate the feedback and generous assisstance, cheers
I have always liked this cover. I wonder what happened to this dude.

Love Pete.

can't be sure that drugs are responsible for their amazing music, one needs to already have an ability in order to be an artist. F.e. even if I took drugs I doubt I would come out with anything worth listening to, that's all.
This is fuckin brilliant
Yeah and full of truths like all great art - certainly a man of convictions.
if you don't want to deal with the tuning business its
verse: Bb / F / Eb / F / Eb / Gm / F
chorus: Bb / F / Gm / Cm / Bb / F
the "every day" bit is : Eb / Dm / Eb / Gm play that twice but on the second time strum the Gm for one bar and throw in an F. like Eb / Gm/F
i didnt really like this song, but how can u not like it when pete sings it! love it!
Never liked this song until now.. Amazing cover.
awesome
i love you peter xx
Look, it's sick boy from Trainspotting!
Love the backing sound of tin foil
I had that wallpaper when I was about 10
I wish I still had a few rolls.
On repeat!
Lovely
that's everything I can say about it
that guitar is from argos...
alrite i give ya great congratulations, for giving it a go, and trying to copy, ya the only Cover, i have heard of this song, that is pretty good.. :) good job. :P
Why does it sound like someone's trying to pack their aldi shopping in the background
its perfectly normal to wrap a turkey in foil before placing it in the oven.
Hope it was served juicy@@PaulRoundhill
lovely wall
got to love it
Wow! My cleft eye actually hurts
LOVE
go on pete!
nice wallpaper
What is going on with that guitar to make the G shape sound like a C? Is it tuned 5 steps up? whats going on?
you will find some resolved conversations about that if you scroll down.
Desert loving in your eyes all the way.
If I listen to your lies would you say
I'm a man without conviction,
I'm a man who doesn't know
how to sell a contradiction.
You come and go, you come and go.
Karma karma karma karma karma chameleon,
you come and go, you come and go.
Loving would be easy if your colours were like my dream,
red gold and green, red gold and green.
hey now, i fancy your screen name, take care.
This man is quintessentially British
I think you are too tigga. 😃
petes darkest days
He knows the word's. Interesting. But he actually looks like Kate here
