about

Foreign cities, unknown bars, beautiful locals: with a great wingman any night can be an adventure. But fire-starters only, no damp wood is needed.

lyrics

Wingman
(words S.Gibson/A.Gibson, music S.Gibson)
Capo 2nd Fret

(All verses G Em Am7 D7) (1 bar each)

G Em
The selection of a wingman
Am7 D7
Can make or break a night
G Em
Need a bloke who can talk and drink
Am7 D7
With a constant lust for life

You were there with me in Paris
And we drank all night in Rome
I needed you in Madrid
But you’d already gone home

Am7 D
And the bar is full of models
G C
And I’m broke in faded jeans
Am7 D
But with the power of my wingman
G C
We can take on any scene

(D between chorus and verse 2 bars)

So bring on all the fire-starters
No damp wood is needed
when 2 becomes 4 on the cobbled streets
Well you know that you’ve succeeded

And stories grow as stories must
And the wingman’s role is flyin’
Coz Bangkok alone on a humid night
Well it’s hard to get your eye in

Chorus x 2

Instrumental Verse

Chorus

So Adam, Coppo, Erick, Pete
The best wingmen I know
We’ll tell tales of past adventures
And the tales will always grow

San Sebastian, the Moulin Rouge
Athens and Saigon
Something always happens
When your wingman comes along

Am7 D
And the bar is full of models
G C
And I’m broke in faded jeans
Am7 D
But with the power of my wingman
G C
We can take on any scene

Am7 D
The bar is full of models

And I’m broke in faded jeans
Am7 D
And I’m looking for my wingman
G C G
But he’s nowhere to be seen
