I have deleted two inappropriate posts and I am closing this thread.

I will not allow this site to degenerate into a racist slanging match.

Hey etc,

Its a bit unfair to ask folks to name their guitars when you have not done so yourself lol. So spill the beans what have you called yours?

Hi IamSunny,

You are right in thinking that the number shown on the left hand side of the chord is the fret that it is played on. If you look you will see that they are generally the barre chords.

Although I sympathise with you Ark on the loss of your archer, I think that Per has done the right thing here and prevented the porn merchants from posting lurid, graphic photos on the site. Hopefully not too many have seen them as we have tried to be vigilant in eliminating the filth. 

Also from a purely personal point of view I have to say that whilst yours was quite inobtrusive and amusing, some of the pictures used by some members took over the whole page and as I normally come here 3 times a day and look at every post it gets very tedious seeing the same thing covering the entire PC screen time and time again when I am really interested in what has been written.

Whilst I do like to see what new guitar or equipment someone has got, a link to it is just as easy to add to the post and often is better as the spec is given too.

There is merit in your suggestion Jerome, for preventing pornographic images although I am unsure whether it would be possible to do but for my own part and for reasons stated I can do without them.

So as Jeff has already stated no imaged either moving or stationary allowed apart from the avatars.

Thanks, Jeff, Ken and Ark,

I have not given him a preview before posting it. I wrote and recorded it yesterday and did not get it uploaded until late so I sent him an e-mail directing him to it. It will be a surprise, a pleasant one I hope, but if not I can always delete it.

[D][Gmaj7][Em][A]


         


Verse 1:




[D]My little [Em]brother is [D]not really re[Asus4]lated,


But a [D]like-minded [Gmaj7]friend who could be [Em]so,[A]


[D]He is [Em]Belgian and [D]I am [Asus4]English,


But it [D]feels as [Gmaj7]though he is my [Em]Bro.[A]




Chorus:

[G]My little [C]brother was out [D]driving his [Bm]car,


When he [C]left the road and [D]crashed into a [G]tree;[Dsus4]


At [G]sixty miles an [C]hour he was [Am]lucky to sur[D]vive,


But he [C]did and he's [D]still here as you [G]see.[A]


Verse 2:




[D]After they [Em]cut him [D]out from the [Asus4]wreck,


It took much [D]surgery to [Gmaj7]mend his shattered [Em]frame, [A]


And [D]many years [Em]later he still [D]suffers great [Asus4]pain,


Sadly his [D]life will[Gmaj7] never be the [Em]same.[A]





Chorus:

[G]My little [C]brother was out [D]driving his [Bm]car,


When he [C]left the road and [D]crashed into a [G]tree;[Dsus4]


At [G]sixty miles an [C]hour he was [Am]lucky to sur[D]vive,


But he [C]did and he's [D]still here as you [G]see.[A]


Verse 3:




Once a [D]proud and skilled [Em]doctor, a [D]Doctor of Medi[Asus4]cine,


He healed the [D]sick, he [Gmaj7]eased their pain and [Em]strife,[A]


But [D]that is histo[Em]ry and [D]he cannot go [Asus4]back,


No work [D]ever so now [Gmaj7]music is his [Em]life.[A]




Chorus:

[G]My little [C]brother was out [D]driving his [Bm]car,


When he [C]left the road and [D]crashed into a [G]tree;[Dsus4]


At [G]sixty miles an [C]hour he was [Am]lucky to sur[D]vive,


But he [C]did and be[D]came a brother to [G]me.

Hi Lowe,

Welcome to Chordie. If you click on the Resources you can then change your instrument to mandolin then you will always see the mandolin chords.

Hi lil,

I altered it for you and as you have now read the e-mail I sent you when I did it, you know the reason why. It was in your best interest.

And yes Administrators can alter your messages without leaving a tell-tale message that it has been done.

Take care,

Roger

Thank you Alex,

I missed this posting earlier and although am pleased, I am somewhat embarrassed to be singled out as I do no more than many of the other Administrators and Member of this site. There are many friends on Chordie, some have been here a while and others not so long, who are willing to give their time and pass on their knowledge to help and guide. It is this willingness to help, honestly and fairly, that make Chordie the great site that it is.

Hi Kath,

You have been through a very rough time, I am sure you have now turned the corner and are on the right track. Just wait and see, 2008 will be a far better year for you.

Hi Dragynn,

Welcome to Chordie  and sorry about the deletion of most of your post.

You are unable to transpose this song through Chordis as it has not been listed here in a legal mannner. The only way I know that you can transpose this song is to do it manually yourself and as there are not too many chords in it it should not be very difficult.

However, if you are unable to transpose it yourself please send it to me privately stating what key you wish it to be in and I will transpose it for you and return it.

Roger

I have removed the lyrics posted here.

These are the words of Per, the founder of Chordie, from the 'sticky' at the start of this section.


PLEASE READ THIS FIRST!!Chordie does not host songs. It is a search engine that formats songs it finds on the internet. There are several reasons for this (most of them legal).

Please read FAQs on chordie's 'Resources' page for a longer explanation.

This also means that NO LYRICS can be posted in this forum.

You are however allowed to post links to songs on the internet, and you are allowed to post one-liners explaining how to play a song.

Any posting of lyrics may result in Chordie having to shut down! I will therefore automatically delete the account (and the songbook) of persons violating this rule, as well as ban their domain from accessing Chordie.

Please report any violation of this rule immediately!

Forgive my ignorance. I have seen mention if silk and steel strings before and although I know that silk is a strong thread gathered from the cocoon of the silkworm I would not have thought it either strong or durable enough for use in the making of guitar strings.

Can someone enlighten me please?

Hi Groar,

Welcome to Chordie. To post your songs here is really quite simple but you must be precise and accurate as it is a form of programming and even a small error will stop it from working.

The instructions are explained quite clearly in James McCormick's 'STICKY' at the start of this section.

If you need any further help please post here or write to me at my e-mail.

I am looking forward to see your work,

Roger
