Had the good fortune to sail with a group of American sailors in Ireland.
Sailed out of Kinsale, around Fastnet Rock then back to the South beaches for a nightly pub crawl. Our Irish tour guides knew all the best places for food, drink and music.
Garth Brooks was touring Ireland at the time. I was so surprised to sing "Low Places" and find most every Irishman in the pub knew all the lyrics and sang along with great gusto.
Talk about a good time!

You make me

skinfan, I have typed words and chords on my notebook onto a file in "my Documents". Here's where I come up short:
I don't know a way to attach that file to an e-mail to you.
My grandson will be over tomorrow to help me but if you have any advice to enable me to mail you this file, I would appreciate it.

My hero is the drummer in our band, Chip Collins. He is a powerhouse drummer and has the largest drum and hand percussion kit I ever saw, his backup singing is impeccable, he has a magnetic personality, a lifetime of experience playing with quality bands and he owns more equipment than a music store. PLUS, he is setting up a huge recording studio in my barn. He also claims he likes my guitar playing.:)
Can't go wrong with this guy.

The last few times I worked myself into a new band, I recorded their performance and played along at home with the recording and worked out all my solos at my leisure. Next rehearsal all we had to practice was my lead and backup vocal parts.

My best buddy had an Epi 12 string. That particular guitar was the best I ever saw at holding a tune. He was a new player and his 12 string never had more than one or two strings go out at a time.

well... you could attempt to print it and then print to a PDF file I suppose.  Then you'd have it saved on your computer as a PDF.  I like my binder with printed music much better though.  In fact, there's more in there than there is in "my songbook".  When I find something I like I just print it straight away rather than save it for later.  Then it gets hole punched, and put in the binder for later.  Sometimes I forget I've put songs in there, but every few weeks I just go through the entire binder trying to play everything in it and come back across some that I've saved in there.  I don't generally feel that my guitar and laptop get along that well.  smile

I do the same thing, MKM. Had to get a bigger binder now that my list approaches 400 tunes. I have separations for "food music" (stuff I need for paying gigs) and "mood music" (fun tunes I like) as well as a "need to practice" file.

Street musicians around the world got a lot of mileage out of "Stand by Me" in four chords.

At any good jam, alls we need is a simple song with four or fewer chords:

Music is a language we are lucky to be able to speak. I feel sorry for those who can't communicate this way. So much fun to swill beer and pass the guitar around.
When I was an electrician the wire bundles looked like spaghetti to me.
Talent is required to troubleshoot a complex electrical problem. Most anyone can make repairs once the problem is clearly understood.
I can't troubleshoot a computer but I can listen to a large orchestra and tell which players are messing up.
I kept coming back to music because I am confident I can figure most things out and be happy with a project well done. When under stress I find comfort in starting a new musical project.
I feel I am blessed to be able to enjoy this.

Hi Tops,
I should arrive in Tampa on 4/27. John Reno and I play three dates in your area. We will update you as our tour firms up.
I can't wait to buy you a cool one.

Any band needs help with music or singing. If you can ease the load or enhance what they are trying to do, they need you.
You can listen to them and ascertain if what you do will fit in and/or reinforce their show.

Here's a link to many goofy songs.

When we have wind, I sail a 1980 Contessa 26 sailboat with a 10 horse Yanmar diesel.
When we don't, I have a 14 foot tri-hull fishing skiff with a 25 hp Mercury outboard. I rarely fish. I just use it to gun around in Fly Creek.
I ride a 1976 Yamaha RD400 mortorcycle every time I get a chance.

Hi Jolt,
The verses are G and D.
There are two bridges that go:
C,G,C,G and G,D
C,G,C,G and C,D,C,D then
A minor, G, D, F,D
Towards the end they play the last half of the bridge chords.

That sounds a little odd, "Show everybody your bongos, honey."
I got my grandson bongos for acoustic jam sessions.
I bought him a djembe drum and miked it for electric gigs.

Skinfan, I judged the song as simple after listening to a cover of it on u-tube. Listening to your link of Mary Chapin Carpenter (she's a killer) doing her original version, I see now this is going to be a long project sculling out the chords by listening to her.
i'm wondering how much you really love and need this song.
If it's a "gotta have" for you musically, I will get started on it in a few days. If it's a whim, I will happily forget it because I have other material to work on. Like you, I really appreciate this fine tune.
Tell me tell me true.
