Hi Jeff,


A nice little song this although I must admit I only sang the first chorus as I am having plenty of trouble trying to count in Poruguese without confusing my tired old brain with German, Japanese and Spanish. <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_lol.gif" border=0 alt="Laughing">

I think sometimes, after you have been trying hard and getting no where and you leave it, that your subconscious works while you are sleeping or whatever and irons out the problems so that next time you try 'EUREKA' - it works. So the prior practice is not worthless, that is what set the gears in motion.

Hi Mike,


I sent you a private message on how to put things right unless, of course, Sir James in his shining armour, mounted on his white steed and with his trusty keyboard in his hand comes to the rescue first.


Joking apart I picked up my guitar and finger picked this song just as you described and I think it is the best song you have done so far.  I LOVE IT. In fact I am going to do a badeye and do it again right now.


Thank you,


Roger

Hi Mark,


Another fine song from you and the bad throat is not obvious. I was very pleased to hear it as one of my pet hates is songs that fade out, I always think that the writer is too lazy to write an ending, and I cringed when I saw the words "fade out" at the end of your posting. Happily you did not mean a fade out as I thought i.e. the song being still sung as the volume faded away.


Well done,


Roger

Hi Alex,


Another good one from you although I am looking forward to you recording this one to hear how you intended the long D in the chorus to be sung. That is if you have time between the feeding and nappy changing. <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_lol.gif" border=0 alt="Laughing">

Hi Jeff,


Nice chord progression and heartfelt lyrics that I can most certainly relate to.

My condolences to you and your family.


A fitting tribute that has captured the emotional turmoil of losing a family member.

Hi Mark,


Glad to see you did it at last. My preference is different to Scrimmy's, my favourite is "Fearless".

Thanks for that James,


The music is available in a songbook that is still in print 'Peter Paul and Mary - Around the Campfire' Published by either Warner Bros Publishing or Alfred Publishing and the stock number is 0260B. It appears to be around $17.00 in America so even with postage you will have change.



I hope this helps.

Hi James,


I have to agree with Badeye this song flows very well even on first the run through. I am very fond of a waltz rhythm and the lyrics conjure up images of people I know.


Thank you,

Hi everyone,

Here is my new song "I Miss You" I am not 100% happy with my vocals so I have uploaded it to:

http://www.myspace.com/friendsofchordie

I Miss Youby Roger Guppy


Intro:


[A][D][A][E]




Verse 1:


When [A]you left [E]me one [A]dark rainy [E]night,


[A]You took with [E]you my whole [b]life,


[D]All I [A]wanted was [D]to be with [A]you,


Now I [D]feel I've been [A]stabbed with a [E]knife.




Chorus:


[Am]I miss [Em]you, [Am]I miss your [b]smile,


[Am]I miss [Em]you and your [A]touch,


[Dm]I miss [C]you, [Dm]I miss your [C]voice,


[Dm]I miss [Am]you oh so [E]much.




Verse 2:


You [A]were my [E]soul mate, the [A]love of my [E]life,


I'm so [A]lost I know [E]not what to [b]do,


I [D]gave up my [A]friends and [D]my fami[A]ly,


I [D]needed [A]no one but [E]you.





Chorus:


[Am]I miss [Em]you, [Am]I miss your [b]smile,


[Am]I miss [Em]you and your [A]touch,


[Dm]I miss [C]you, [Dm]I miss your [C]voice,


[Dm]I miss [Am]you oh so [E]much.


Verse 3:


[A]Now you have [E]gone my em[A]otions have [E]turned


To a[A]nother, so [E]loving and [b]mild,


[D]When the [A]Angels [D]took you a[A]way


They [D]left for [A]me our new [E]child.




Chorus:


[Am]I miss [Em]you, [Am]I miss your [b]smile,


[Am]I miss [Em]you and your [A]touch,


[Dm]I miss [C]you, [Dm]I miss your [C]voice,


[Dm]I miss [Am]you oh so [E]much, I miss [A]you

Hi Jeff,


Great that you have started recording and She's Gone is a different song to me now I know the intended melody and I hope to find some time tomorrow to give it whirl myself. Now we have got you recording we have to start work on badeye to produce recordings of his songs.


As for your problems recording. It is far easier to record the music first and then sing to the recording. If you do not have the software to do this you can always record the music, copy it to a CD then record yourself singing to the CD. Doing the playing and singing together, especially when you are unused to it, is far more difficult


Roger.

No don't stop the writing. If you don't write we cannot keep trying to persuade you to record. We convinced, Scrimmy, Bud Wiser, JohnnyVitalis and James McCormick,


I have already warned him that after you it is Badeye's turn to be convinced.   <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_lol.gif" border=0 alt="Laughing">

Hi Jeff,


Just to add to the pressure from Mike and James, I would also like to hear you perform this. It would take the pressure off me trying to perform it myself before commenting on it if you can.

Hello robjungle,


As one of PP&M's biggest fans this posting has had me baffled for a while. At one time, until a theft, I had every one of PP&M's LPs and every published Songbook and I cannot for the life of me remember a song called River of Jorden.


But the line bugged me, I suddenly thought 'The river Jorden is mighty and wide Hallelujah' which is the line from a song and not the title. If I am right you want "Michael Row The Boat Ashore" and you will find it at:


<a href="http://www.chordie.com/chord.pere/getsome.org/guitar/olga/chordpro/t/Traditional/MichaelRowTheBoatAshore.chopro" target="_blank"> http://www.chordie.com/chord.pere/getso … ar/olga/ch ordpro/t/Traditional/MichaelRowTheBoatAshore.chopro</a>


Please let me know if this is what you wanted,


Regards,


Roger

Hello SkyHarborCowboy,


I hope this will help with this particular song. Every chord shown is a beat of music in it's place within the lyrics so although the pacing looks uneven the chords are played at an even tempo. If you just downs stroke each one for now until you get the rhythm you can add the upstrokes later.

WICHITA LINEMANUndefined


[Gm7] I [Gm7]am a [Gm7]lineman [Gm7]for the [Bbmaj7]county,[Bbmaj7] [Bbmaj7] [Bbmaj7]





[F] [F]and I [F]drive the [F]main [Gm7]road,[Gm7] [Gm7] [Gm7] . . . . . . . .

Hi ovation93,


Having just read your post I am at a bit of a loss but maybe I missunderstood you. If you go to an artist and only get some of his/her songs listed, where are you going to find the rest? Perhaps you can explain in a little more detail what you would like to see so an old fogie like me can understand.


Thank you,


Roger

Hi Jeff,


I hope you are going to record this and send it to Tim as I am sure he will love it (although I am also sure that he already knows how you feel).


Lovely lyrics and chord sequence and a nifty key change in the middle make this another fine offering from you.


Well done and thank you,


Roger

I am working 12 hour days at the moment and I am finding it impossible to comment on every song that is posted as, the way I do it, each one takes me at least an hour. Everyone, please accept my apologies if I have not been able to comment on your song.
