Song, Album and Guitar Tab from: http://jongomm.com/store

This is the first single from my new album Secrets Nobody Keeps, released today.
Telepathy is dedicated to anyone who’s been so afflicted with doubts and fears that it affects the way they interact with people and ends up in the nightmare of insomnia. The moral of the story is a simple one: Never go to bed on an argument. (Don’t, FFS.)
It’s played on Wilma, my beloved Lowden O12C guitar, in A E B E G B tuning, using my custom super-heavy Newtone strings and Keith banjo pegs, with a Fishman Rare Earth Blend running through various Boss effects pedals and a Trace Acoustic TA200 amp.
Lyrics:
Say, say what you want,
Cos I, I can’t read your mind,
Please, please teach me Telepathy.I can’t get to sleep,
My thoughts are my enemies,
They sing to me
A carousel song
Revolving around my head,
With what you said…I’m so tired but so awake,
Solutions come but much too late.Say, say what you want,
Cos I, I can’t read your mind,
Please, please teach me Telepathy.I’d die for your sins,
We both cry in sympathy
With our cruelty,
And nobody wins,
But I lose more expertly,
So you turn and flee…The saints come marching in,
I sing myself to sleep again.Say, say what you want,
Cos I, I can’t read your mind,
Please, please teach me Telepathy.I can’t get to sleep, my songbird captivity,
Oh sing to me!
