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
That would be great! Send me something when you get better eh?
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.
That would be great Cat!
