The whole song can not be written out in the forum as this could infringe on the copyright of the song.

yep topdown they are not going to allow any bikini's in the beach vollyball!!,that stinks!
I actually think it's good. Beach volleyball isn't nearly as exciting as the court variety. The sand takes all the vertical out of the game. On a court, they get way up high and spike almost every opportunity they can. The game is way faster. But it gets no airtime at all because they aren't in skimpy bikinis.
There's really great coverage of all the Olympics games sports including beach volleyball. The team from the USA were sporting very nice bikini bottoms for the record and the rule seems to only loosely applied...
The BBC have about 20 live digital channels offering coverage of most major and minor sports in HD as they are played some with commentators and some without..
It's the most TV coverage any games has received.
Danny Boyle did a great job with the opening ceremony which probably you had to be British to appreciate fully.
Will be watching a lot of sport this week.

Re: How to move the chord images from the side to the bottom. (14 replies, posted in About Chordie)
Hi clamccpias
You can alter the position of the chord grids on a transposed song in the same way as you would for an untransposed song.
You click on the song straight from your songbook in it's saved transposed view.
Then click on "print" which should be displayed on the right of the song.
The next screen gives you at the top right the option in a drop down box to change the grid positions for printing.
If any part of the screen display is missing or not displaying right then it's usually the screen resolution needs adjusting or a problem with the browser..

Re: suggestion for print page (5 replies, posted in About Chordie)
If you go into the edit fuction and make your change there copying and pasting etc. then save your changes. Go to the print page option as you describe it and print the page with corrections. Then go back to the edit fuction where you can revert back to the original lay out of the song if you want.
What ever you do to the song in your edit function won't effect the original layout if you revert back.

Welcome to Chordie.
To answer your question. You can't add this song to your songbook directly..

Re: A Little Too Good (10 replies, posted in Acoustic)
Wonderful arrangement...
When I hear a musician of great talent I'm reminded of a scene from "Amedius" When Salieri says something like"God has give me just enough talent to realise the true talent of a great composer" meaning of course Mozart..
I'm no Salieri.. but it rings true for me..
Thanks for the share..

Looks like and sounds like the melody played on the open e string. Why? I'm not sure maybe our theory Guru's can answer.

Re: Led Zep track the favourite rock song? (26 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Man don't you just love the spammers that trawl the old posts and bring em to the surface like old lost ship wrecks..
The spam post has been deleted ...
Anyway I'm a great fan of Led Zep and have never got tired of listening to "Stairway" in all it's forms except maybe Rolf's rendition.
We like what we like and it would be a sad and uninteresting old world if we all liked the same thing.
Led Zep to me was one of the greats rock bands of all time..

"Wonderful tonight" by Eric Clapton but after reading his biography when he said he got fed up waiting for Pattie Boyd to get ready for a party he jotted down a few lines of a song to pass the time. it sorta lost it's mystic..

Re: RIP- Robin Gibb. (9 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Robin Gibb was a great songwriter not only for the Bee Gees but for many other artists.
Robin's final collaboration was with his son a mainly classical piece to mark the centenary of the sinking of the Titanic. He looked quite ill when interviewed on TV but he was doing what he loved right to the end.
RIP Robin.

Re: Curious questions (9 replies, posted in About Chordie)
Well the guy who created Chordie is known to us mods as "Per" or admin. I have not used his full name as I'm not sure if he wants it to be known.
I think he wrote or used the code (PunBB) for the website to be used as search engine which converts the songs to Chopro on Chordie.
I think Chordie as we know it started around early 2006.
I guess Roger may know more about the origins of Chordie as he was one of the original mods.

Re: What are you listening to? (24 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Been listening to some early Fleetwood mac after seeing a documentary about Peter Green a great guitarist on par with Eric Clapton as British Blues player. His career went down the toilet for may years after drug abuse. Though he's seems clean and back on track now.
