hi jeff,

this is such a sad song because we all know someone who's light burned bright only to be extinguished too soon. and i'm not talking hendrix or lennon, though they were super nova's, but so many others, some on the way to super stardom. i'd like to mention here two guys from my neck of the woods who played in a band called "badfinger" and wrote one of the classic rock tracks of all time....see if anyone knows their names, and the title of the song?

sorry jeff, went off on one there! great song, makes me think and mourn the artistes it refers to.

hi mrsaturn,

i dont know how useful this note will be; i checked out the resources page and it gives a good range of chord shapes, and the option of checking out other shapes in which to play those chords.
you could always bookmark each shape. you could print out each page [but i didnt say that!]  and that's about all i can think of unless you want to try a chord library site.   sorry that's it for me, hope i helped or at least gave you some ideas.

your a wee divil so you are!

fantabulous, i wonder how the uncensored version went?

i love the way you rhymed "used, perused and delicious" so inventive...your a marvel

phill

thanks to you guys; jody, dino, topdown and my bestest friend russ.

your responses are gratefully received, i'm so glad you took the time to listen.

my appreciation to all who listened and enjoyed the song.

phill

my apitite wetted, i wait in complete anticipation

hello to all my good friends, thanks for looking, listening and commenting.

your comments are all welcome, but i apologise for the sloppy content! the guitar strings were a bit old and dirty ergo; lack of tonal quality, so i changed them after finishing the track, it's called "closing the stable door after the horse has bolted." ....only on chordie

hi ark, i have 4 kids, only one plays a bit of guitar, he's more into deejaying...now i despair!

9 grandkids, 3 of which have guitars, 8, 7 and 5 year olds, they think playing is banging hell out of them...they'll probably be the next big thing...

hi bensonp, thanks for that, my mam was a great nature lover and loved music and singing, we had an old radiogramme back in the 50's with all the old 78's of elvis, bill halley etc, plus my favorites "16 tons" and "the ballad of davey crocket".

thanks stransongs, how many megapixels would you say?

hi lena, thanks for those kind words, she is missed.

WOW, you Irish folk know how to write with maximum effect. This is a truly great piece, short, concise, yet descriptive and to the point, with a twist in the tale.

10/10

Hi folks

this song can now be found on MySpace, click the link to your left.

hope you like it

Phill

PS.

For those who might find the chords difficult to play, I used a capo on the 2nd fret, so I play a "C" shape chord for each "D". or you can play it using the table below;

for               D- Bm- A- G- F#m

play             C- Am- G- F- Em.

if I'm asked I can re-post it with the transposed chords.

hi jeff, welcome back

what a sad little lament, yes i suppose we've all been there, so it's all the better when you find one that wants to be with you.

nice one, keep em coming

phill

hi lena,

as soon as i heard about this terrible disaster i knew there would be trouble there!

a wonderful humanitarian piece, which makes the reader feel your despair, and i think we all know you have a great empathy for such things...more than i, i'm afraid...shame on me.

so that's you and simon cowel that have [or are] doing something about it.

phill

Thanks for the feedback...the desired effect. I was expecting a general consensus that it might have been too fast! different strokes for different folks I guess.

thanks again

Phill
