A poet may help.

A very good first video, Ray. Fine song, fine performance.

The problem is, you can never be sure where the dog will bite. he may ignore your padded arm and bite you somewhere else.
A mean old dog in my neighborhood ran out as I walked by and bit down on the crotch of my pants and stared me right in the eye. Thank goodness he only got fabric. I walked slowly backwards until I was off his property and he let go.
Happy to still have a deep voice,

Dear MeganJane,
It's my supreme pleasure to assist you with this beautiful song.
I sent it to the address you posted above. if you get it this time, you may want to delete your post above to avoid unwanted e-mails.
Either way I would like to hear how things work out.
Happy pickin' and grinnin',

The e-mail should have gotten to you by now. I kept a draft of it so I can try and send it again if necessary.

The chords on the video you submitted sound wrong to me so I used Bing to search and found this Frank Sinatra arrangement.

You have a chord pattern of Am, G,F then C,G,F. The off chord is E.

I'm from the U.S. and I like tea hot or cold and hot coffee.
I be mighty easy to please.

Down South it's, "Hey Ya'll, watch this."
My mouth gets me into all my trouble.

Starting out in my old days, I needed to learn new songs and had only a 45 RPM record as my source. Super slow going at first. I started the record and tried to find the very first note on my guitar (after I tuned my guitar to the record). Then the second note in the song and so on.
When it came to chords, I would find the tonic ( C for a C chord).
I would then try a C major chord with the record. If that was wrong, I'd go down the list of C minor, C7, C major 7, C+ (augmented), C dim etc... until I found one that sounded right.
It took me a week of nights after work to learn "Crying" by Roy Orbison. I wrote the lyrics big enough to read in a dimly lit bar room and jotted the chords in red ink above the syllable of the word where they changed. Practice allowed me to do this faster as years went by.
It was slow but the only way.
These days most lyrics and chords can be copied and pasted from a website and then printed out in any size font. You have to sing and play them along with the U-Tube video to see if they are correct.

I have a Japanese Yamaha FG 350W that cost $300 back in the 70's and is worth about that much now but it plays, sounds and looks great. It's plenty enough guitar for a strummer like me. I plan to keep it.
My buddy donated an Chinese made Applause acoustic guitar with a plastic body and a laminated top to me for a boat guitar. It's not very loud with the plastic body but it has a nice neck, low action and holds a tune fine.
The Japanese and Chinese are now building really nice guitars that are priced right for beginners to buy and us old hacks to keep.
