Sloth Just A Roll

	  		Fairport Convention 
Sloth (Full House) 
By Marcel Veltman 
 
Only the basic chords as they were played by Simon Nicol on the acoustic. What really 
made this song interesting, however, was Richard Thompson and Dave Swarbrick taking it 
way up and down to heaven in two lengthy instrumental breaks and a beautifull outro. 
Perhaps this was the best track on the best English folk-rock album ever. 
 
(Chorus) 
 G                      C     G                  C 
   Just a roll, just a roll. Just a roll on the drum 
 G                      C            F        Am 
   Just a roll, just a roll and the war has begun 
 
G                            C                
   Now the right things the wrong things 
G                      C 
   No more excuses to come 
G                        C            F       Am 
   Just one step at the time and the war has begun 
 
(Chorus) 
 
(Instrumental break, same chords) 
 
She's runaway she's runaway 
And she ran so bitterly 
Now call for your coloured friends 
Don't you call for me 
 
(Chorus) 
 
(Instrumental break. Leadsinger may go out to take a lunch) 
 
Don't you cry don't you cry 
Don't you cry upon the sea 
Don't you cry don't you cry 
For your lady and me 
 
(Chorus twice)
