You Treat Me Mean

I have written a song called “You Treat Me Mean”, I have recorded a rough demo.

This is the vocal and guitar guide

This is just the guitar part

This is just the vocal guide

The idea is that you record yourself singing, playing an instrument or whatever send me that track then I add it to the mix. The idea is that we produce a track with as many parts as we can.

I just thought this could be a bit of fun, if it works and I get a few tracks I’ll post them up on this page.

The song is very simple. The guitar chords are E, A & B. I have recorded it to a click track of 110 bpm

Once you have recorded something by emailing it to me at nicktann@gmail.com

If you wanted to send me a track of you singing, these are the lyrics.

YOU TREAT ME MEAN

Can’t hear can’t talk

Fall down when I try to walk

Oh baby you treat me mean

Oh baby you treat me mean

You always frown and you don’t laugh

Never seen you smile in a photograph

Oh baby you treat me mean

Oh baby you treat me mean

Ch. You treat me mean, treat me mean, treat me mean, you treat me mean (rpt)

You laugh at me when I hold your hand

I just wanna be your loving man

Oh baby you treat me mean

Oh baby you treat me mean

Said I’d love you for ever more

But then you kicked me out the door

Oh baby you treat me mean

Oh baby you treat me mean

Ch.

I bought you a diamond ring

You didn’t say a goddam thing

Oh baby you treat me mean

Oh baby you treat me mean

I made you coffee I made you tea

But you still wouldn’t marry me

Oh baby you treat me mean

Oh baby you treat me mean

Ch.

We don’t talk we only fight

But I wanna know where you were last night

Oh baby you treat me mean

Oh baby you treat me mean

You told me that we were through

But I just wrote this song for you

Oh baby you treat me mean

Oh baby you treat me mean

    Awesome idea! I love it :)
    Actually been wanting to record the vocals for one of your other songs, just not gotten around to it yet. ;)

    Currently got a horrible cold though :(

  2. This song is getting some serious production tonight in the rhythm section. Making our version with guitars, drums, bass, sax and maybe even vox added…you will like it…I sure f*n hope anyway! Leibowitz

    I’ll have a go at adding some funky Bo’ to it as a folky acoustic version if you like.
