The true story of Barbarians drummer Victor 'Moulty' Moulton, who lost
his left hand at age 14 when a homemade pipe bomb exploded prematurely.
When I was a beat-crazed teen I thought Moulty was just about the coolest
guy in the history of the eardrum (as a beat-crazed middle-ager I still
do) and named my first band 'The Moults' in his honor. Go back to my
home directory and follow the appropriate link to find out what Moulty
is up to nowadays. --AWR

Verse 1:
(spoken):
G9
I remember the days when things were real bad for me
Fmaj7 G9
It was right after my accident, when I lost my hand
Fmaj7
It seemed like I was all alone, with nobody to help me
Em F
You know, I almost gave up all my hopes and dreams
G
But then - then - then something inside me kept tellin' me
G7
Way down inside of me - over and over again
G9
To keep goin' on - yeah, on!
Chorus 1:
C F G F [bass: bend D to Eb]
Moulty!
C F G F
Don't turn away (you're gonna make it, baby)
C F G F
Don't turn away (ah, try to make it, baby)
C F/A /F Eb G
Don't turn away
Verse 2:
Things are better for me now 'cause I found that I love music
So I learned to play the drums and got myself a band, and now
we're startin' to make it
And if you can make it at somethin' you love - wow, you got it all!
So I'm sayin' this to all of you
All of you who think you'll never make it
All of you guys and girls 'cause you think you're so bad off
Or maybe you think you're a little different or strange
So listen to me, now, 'cause I've lived through it all
Chorus:
Moulty!
Don't turn away (you gotta keep on tryin')
Don't turn away (well, don't you give up, baby)
Don't turn away
Verse 3 (first three lines only):
Now there's just one thing that I need - not sympathy, and I don't
need no pity -
But a girl - a real girl - one who really loves me - and then I'll
be the complete man.
So I'm gonna tell you - right now - listen!
Coda [repeat to fade]:
C F G F
Don't turn away (you gotta baby)
C F G F
Don't turn away (you gotta keep on tryin')
