Re: Chordians (15 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I'm guilty as well of not giving a lot of feed back on peoples posting I do have a listen to all of them when I see them. but not knowing squat about music other what some else has said " I know what I like" I wouldn't know what to tell some one to improve a song.

ok so here is the do over, some of my critics complained about the chorus ( you know who you are and I thank you for that its the reason I post here) I must say I agree with them so here's the second go round . I tried to record it but I am still suffering from the crud and sounded bad even by my standards so you will have wait a few more days to hear it. that is if this version passes the muster. Let me know what you think

knew a boy who was torn in half
(A) (G) (A) (G) (D)
watched him sail away on a sunken raft
he lost his mind on a sea of dreams
tried to cleanse his soul in a mountain stream
the prodigal son who would not come home
he was bound and chained to the seeds he sown

he could not deny that mistakes were made
but the token queen he could not persuade
closed his ears and he shut the door
that's when I realized it was never more
now life's a two way street
I can only pray that someday we meet

thanks everyone for the positive comments, seems like the older I get the more questions I have and fewer the answers become. the one thing I know for sure is that we are just blip in the grand scheme of things.
thanks again Amy for the inspiration,

well the world wont stop when the well runs dry
(G) (D) (A)
just keeps on spinning while problems multiply
the world don't care if we fool ourselves
she cant hear the ringing of our bells
she will still be here when the cities turn to dust
and the sun will rise when our dreams have all been crushed
chorus

because the world goes on no matter what you do
(D) (G) (A)
it don't matter what your point of view
(G) (D) (A)
because the stars still shine when our time is through
the world goes on when the last king's been crowned
she will still be laughing when the jester's not around
the world wont stop when our children cry
she keeps on spinning while we sing our lullaby's
the world wont stop when the last dollars made
it will keep on turning when the final songs been played
chorus
the world don't care if you loose your way
keeps on turning no matter to who you pray
the world wont stop when we've said our last goodbye
keeps on spinning while the innocent are crucified
the world wont stop when your time is past
live everyday like it was your last
live everyday like it was your last
live everyday like it was your last

I own a T5Z just like the one in the picture , I paid a lot less than retail at a Taylor road show event. still was not cheap and I would not have bought it but my dear wife bought it for me after I kept going back to it after I would try all the other guitars. it sounds great I cant do it justice with my playing but it is easiest playing guitar I have ever picked up. come on down to Texas I will let you play it all night
