A song that's probably NOT about women... "Don't let the sun go down on me" ... Elton John and George Michael (who I adore both... I think they're excellent singers)... both gay.  I've got to believe if you put two gay men together for a duet, they aren't singing about a woman. 

Welcome to the forum Tigerbilly.  This song is already in the chordie search under the Mamas and the Papas here:  http://chordie.com/chord.pere/www.guita … 72254.html

By the way, you will have more luck (and a faster response from members) next time looking for a song if you post in the "Song Requests" forum.    Have a great day!

Here's a link to a youtube video I found of the song:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaGP98jIrZE
Seems this song is listed all over the internet, but I haven't had any luck finding chords or tabs yet.  I'll keep looking as I find time.  When you come back, let us know if you're still looking for it!    Good luck!

I've just been looking into this as I was thinking of messing with my saddle on my new guitar anyhow to lower the action.  WOW... looks like a touch of work that'd be well worth it.  Did you know, they make bone, ivory, and walrus picks too???

Oops... I've been watching the thread and hadn't realized that I didn't post yet!  Sorry Jim!   

I can't quite get the rhythm of the song just from reading it.  There's a lot of songs that I've printed out which I KNOW and have to remind myself how they go when I see them on paper.  I guess I need to hear it to really be able to comment as far as that goes.  I do really like the lyrics.  The story that goes with it is really neat.  How you could turn a little conversation like that into full lyrics is beyond me.  I've come up with a few ideas here and there, but rarely am quite able to get much further than a couple lines on my own.  I think you've got a good knack Jim!  Let us know when you have a chance to record it somehow so we can get a better grip on "how it goes"! 

Very cool Pix!  I really like the idea of a sound port.  While I was shopping recently, I came across a used guitar that ONLY had a sound hole in the side - right where your port is - and none on the front of the guitar at all.  I can see the use of the port, not so much a sound hole in that location however. 

Soooo... just out of curiosity, how much would you charge someone for something like that?  You don't have to answer here if you'd rather not publicly... but I'm curious nonetheless!  It's a specialized craft you have, and it sure sounds like you're good at it!

Thanks for the help Pix... it looked like C's and G's to me, but I wasn't sure about the rest and didn't want to mess anyone up with my guesses!  LOL!  I'm still not too good at knowing what someone's playing by ear, watching someone's fingers only gives me a decent guess.

neat links guys... thanks for sharing as always!

Beautiful Roger.  I'll bet that was one of your Mom's favorites.  I know it puts a huge wonderful feeling inside when my kids play along with me (even if it's just the 5 year old banging on her guitar with no real sense of music).  I'm sure your mom was proud to call herself Mother to you and your siblings!  Bless you.

I am no good at figuring them out either... maybe someone that is will chime in here.  In the mean time, maybe you can figure out by watching this guy what cords he's playing?  It's an idea!

Roger - I am working on a song that he wants me to sing.  He's always wanted me to do Jewel songs at karaokie (I say he's secretly in lust with her LOL), so he asked me to learn a song or two of hers.  No serenade yet, but it's getting close.  Absolutely he got a few kisses and cuddles!  Being a full sized dread (not 3/4 like my classical), he can't wait to get his hands on the guitar too!

zguitar - Yep, it took a bit but I've finally got him trained in the gifting department!  LOL!  Actually, in the past few years I think he's realizing how much I actually do as a mom without pay.  Putting my dreams of career aside for the kids and for him to follow his.  He also has always known that music is something that drives me and seeing me finally making time to really enjoy it, he wants to encourage me.  That all sounds really CORNY, but it's the truth.

I will admit, I wasn't always this spoiled... for the first 5 years or so, I'd just get a card and dirty dishes.

I do need a new car.... mine has 150K on it... hmmm....

Thanks guys!  Geo... yes, these poor little fingers need to get toughened up a bit more.  Those nylon strings have treated me well over these months of playing!  Badeye - I am thinking that it's time to name them both now.  It used to just be "my guitar" ... now it's "my classical" or "my dread" and somehow that just doesn't seem right anymore.  I'm sure something will come to me soon!

Geo & Selso - do you have this model?  I know I looked through the forums and remember hearing a few had this or suggested it, as a good low priced guitar.

I still can't get over the excellent names and $350 guitars I passed up for this one.  I feel like it's "too good to be true".  Same thing happened when I bought my classical (well, I passed up a few that were $50-$75 more).  So far however, I LOVE IT!
