the first chorus in this song is the only chorus. the other italic writing bits are verses not choruses but hopefully everyone has worked this out already.it's a slow song but i spose it could work a bit faster.

yes i did and thank u very much. only the chorus is always the same as the first chorus and the bits that are in slanted writing are actually verses but people have probably figured that out already.again thanks.

i just read this and agree that ur well rid,but if anything became of that song then you have rights.the fact is he came up with the lyrics but he would have no chords/melody for the lyrics if it werent for you,and therefore his lyrics would still be sitting on the table.when i started writing songs i was desperate for someone else to play them as i couldnt,but was warned that if i did this then the person who found the chords and helped with the melody of the song would have 50 percent rights? now i have done all my own chords and just have someone acompany me on guitar.whos great mind.good luck with writing your own things without him.do you have a myspace?if so can i listen to your stuff?mine is under donna connis.

hey i just tried to play this and really liked it,did it in a slow country kinda way.love the words.d x

my french aint that good either i hope the phrase book i have was correct,the song is also  thought id have a go,but may need to cahnge it around a bit before i post it myspace incase someone french or spanish wonders what the hell im on about.it was fun tho,i just got a bit bored and wanted my mates to think i was clever,the thing is they dont wont realise if i need to rearrange the words slightly as they dont understand french/spanish either.ta x

how about "it's not easy" / "needing inspiration" / "it's been done before" / "what's the point" / "just another tune" / "too many thoughts in my head" / "where have all the lyrics gone" / "mind block" hope these help good luck

thanks for the advice but im confused as to which song you mean.you said my 1st song which is "i'll be with those angels" but you replied under this song "far and wide"?


i went back through both songs and i can see it working with far and wide as it's a country song but some of the hmmms would need to become ohhhs in some places or it just sounds cheesy. if you meant for the other song it just would not work as the pattern doesnt fit.theres not enough break or instrumental to ad lib as each line flows into the other and if i ad lib and break it up i would need to cut some lyrics as the song would be far too long.this is because i wanted to be awkward really.it doesnt help that the chords are not over the right words so when playig it the flow of the song is lost to those who dont know it. im trying to work out how to put the basic recording i done using the computer onto somewhere so people can her it.i recorded onto my laptop which saved it in my docs and i dont know how/where to send it to or even if i am able to do that.


           

[D] CLOSE YOUR [A] EYES

     

AND [Em] SLEEP IN MY [A] SHADOW


[D] LAY YOUR [A] HEAD


ON WHAT USED TO [Em] BE MY [A] PILLOW


THE [D] STARS WILL SHINE AND THE [A] MOON TOO


AND ILL [Em] BE WITH THOSE ANGELS LOOKING [A] DOWN ON YOU


(CHORUS AS IT WAS-EACH CHORD FOR A WHOLE LINE I START SINGING THE NEXT LINE JUST BEFORE CHANGING TO THE NEXT CHORD IF THAT MAKES SENSE)



IM YOUR [D] TWINKLE TWINKLE [A] LITTLE STAR


AND YOULL [Em] SAY HOW I WONDER [A] WHERE YOU ARE


AND ILL SAY [D] IM UP ABOVE THE WORLD [A] SO HIGH


LIKE [Em] ALL OTHER ANGELS [A] IN THE SKY


This is how the chords are meant be played.

Thanks for you advice.
