Topic: If I Could Sleep

Hi, everyone.

I'm hoping to record this again at the weekend. I'm not happy with the first run through.

I was rather taken with Zurf's recent predicment and wondered "When would you just not want to sleep". And this is the result.

Forget the Chordie chords, the real ones are below the song. Despite the seeming difficulty of their names - these chords are actually very easy to play.




Chordpro error: This is not a valid artistname. You will have to specify an artistname in the form {st: Artistname} in the beginning of the code.





Cadd9 - 032000   Cadd9 (in the chorus) 032030
Dm7 - 000211
F6/9 - 000011
fm13 - 003230

Wow skilled songwriting right there. It's good, it's sad, and it's got the element of artistic poetry that I like, and rarely see.

good job.....
