Great song well performed Mojo. I think a bridge and chorus would add immensely to this wistful melodic song.

Here is my entry for this month.  Started off as a poem as I couldn't find a song with the word `Outrage`.  So, I sat and wrote a poem.   Then with a few changes it become a song.  So, this is only the 3rd song I have ever written, completed and performed.  It`s pretty basic, I can hear a part that needs an echo in it but of course with the none of the right equipment, I wasn't able to put the echo in where it needed to go.  I think if this had proper music backing it, it would sound much better than on a ukulele.

i have been busy around the house my self and working a new song of my own  will try to get something before the end of the month

Phill, now there's an idea for Chordie, its own recording web page.  Might bring a lot more musicians here too.  Hey that's a good idea, to delete some of the songs off my page.  I didn't realize I could do that and then add more.   Cheers for that, will look into it.

neophytte, yes, I did think of doing something along that line, a second account.  But then I thought of the very few followers I have on there already that I would lose and then I will have no followers or listeners. 

mojo, ok cheers, you do the same as Phill re: deleting older ones or ones you don't like that much.  I think that's a good idea and will probably do that.  Yes, I know what you mean re: what we think might be our best and others don't think so lol, totally get that big_smile  Showing my ignorance here but what is CMT?

     

Jandle hope you figure it out and let us know. need some where to get more exposure. what i though was the best i have written got 9 plays on sound cloud lol apparently what i like and others like differ a lot lol.
as a side note took the grand kids to Dennys this morning for pan cakes. CMT was on a television close to our table. holy crap if that what passes for country or even good music these days there are several here on chordie  who should hit the big time. that or people today have incredibly bad taste.     

thats what i do as well

Hi Jan, yes that would be great, chordies own recording web page! I don't post much to SoundCloud or YouTube these days as I don't get much, if any reactions. And as you say SoundCloud want money for holding your songs. I just get into my account and delete my older songs or the ones I don't like freeing up space to put newer ones in. Give that a try?

capo second fret

D                             G
Don't know why came this way
not sure how long I'm gonna stay
D                              A
been awhile since i was here
Em                                    G        D
and held you close and oh so near

D                            G
thought my life was on the road
i tell you know I just don't know
D                           A
wild and free and always gone
Em                                  G                D
I had no time for your lonesome song

chorus

G            D                            A
but you always keep me coming back
even though I lose my way
there's just something about you
Em                 G            D
I can't seem to stay away

home is where I lay my head
not where I was born and bred
it may be a motel room
or it might be my final tomb

you're going to make it hard to leave
you changed some things that I believe
that old road an unforgiving place
steer you wrong and make you fall from grace

chorus

now I'm leaving one last time
one last mountain left to climb
just one more rendezvous
and I'll be coming home to you

so, say a little prayer for me
sweet and low that I might see
underneath that cottonwood
I'll be coming home for good

chorus
