This one was inspired by Jimmy Buffett. 


Stuck here in the city of concrete and glass
Isn't too romantic
If I could just get you out of this town
I would make it up to you
Because

All I need is a bucket and a shovel
And I would build an island for you
All I need is a bucket and a shovel
And I would bring paradise to you.

A warm sunset
An ocean breeze
A campfire in the sand
Having you there next to me
Holding you as closes as I can

All I need is a bucket and a shovel
And I would build an island for you
All I need is a bucket and a shovel
And I would bring paradise to you.

This is my first attempt at trying to write a complete song.  Now just to find the correct chords. 


I get lost in your eyes
I lose all self control and I realize
I look at you and I just melt
And I know that I could make you feel
The feeling that my heart's already felt

    For one hour....I long to hold you
    For one hour....I long to touch you
    For one hour.... I long to kiss you
    What I could do to you....For one hour

Our lives are so complicated
No one knows the reason
Why someone needs the love
from another person

    For one hour....I long to hold you
    For one hour....I long to touch you
    For one hour.... I long to kiss you
    What I could do to you....For one hour

To have the time to spend with you
if you would only look my way
To get you away from all your fears
To talk to you, all the things that I would say

    For one hour....I long to hold you close
    For one hour....I long to touch your body
    For one hour.... I long to kiss your lips
   
When I'm with you....for one hour

Thanks Doug.  Not extremely new to Chordie but not a big forum poster.  New guitar player so I mostly read the forum and absorb.  I am starting to understand the meaning of "right" way of doing chords.  Obviously there is the way that you learn eight from books, videos, lessons, etc.  However in my dad's case, who has been playing for over 40 years, he has a split tendon in his middle finger that does non enable him to bed it (try having that in a Catholic school :-)  ), this has him doing chords differntly.  He shows me one way but I do it another.  I am finding the same thing with playing piano based on how my wife plays (also much longer than I).  I guess if you are comfortable playing and it sounds right than it must be correct.  You can even play the guitar upside down...isn't that right Jimi?

Okay, I have only be playing chords up to now and have now started to work with TABs.  However, unlike chords, how do you know what fingers to use where?  Is there a set system or pattern or is it really just feel?

No, Chordie is redirecting me to the artists page (I don't do anything).  Any page I go to gives me that I am not logged in.  I suppose what confuses me is that I worked find to a couple ago and I did a routine clean up of cookies, browser history, etc.  After that I could not get in with my login.  I can in IE but no more in Firefox.   I guess Firefox will be my next step, probably an update on their end that messed with me.

I am having trouble logging in through Firefox.  I am able to get in via IE but not the other?  I have it to accept cookies.  It states that I have successfully logged in and redirecting but goes back to home page (un logged in).  Any help?
