Peatle
an end of an era,they don`t make sport stars like Colin anymore.
He was humble ordinary type of bloke.The best thats been.
Saw him in the pub the day he got his knighthood.
I would guess all the other people  knighted were at an exclusive cocktail bar.
It`s a great pity that todays sports people seem to be all cash & flash.

Brother
met my brother for lunch today
boy it`s been a while
got thinking of our different lives
recollecting made me smile
both of us young no more
but nowhere near the end
looking back at our lives
the tortoise and the hare
though we`ve traveled different roads
i don`t know if either would again
he with his many wives
me with only one
he with his many jobs
me with little more than one
brothers
one brave and confident
the other not so
the tortoise and the hare

practice,whats that? i love your first time version.
thats the way i always do it.i think a few mistakes are far overriden by the
energy & spontaneity of a first take.
lets hope SOM momentum keeps going.

Don`t forget heaps of photos!
vids would be good too.
a great chance to support song of the mth.
how about recording a few versions for SOM.
have a great time.with ya in spirit.

Great idea MKM
just banged out a quicky to get the ball a rollin`
come on chordians, i challenge you to cover this song! YES YOU!

yeah i`ve still got first guitar.
yes i do buy the best as i need all the help i can get.
also there`s something sexy about a nice looking quality guitar.

Peatle
it`s a pity he shamed himself,because he had talent to burn.
a true original in a world of copies-ts.
he does an amazing version of smoke on the water.
an inspiration on how to add your own personality to a song.

If you are getting an effects pedal,i would erg you to look @ Red Witch Pedals.
http://www.redwitchpedals.com/
they are true analog pedals,they have built in lith battery,  120hrs playing time.
small & solid also.
They are made by a small company here in NZ.
ps. i happen to shareholder,so i`m a bit biased.

One Word

BRILLIANT
well done both of you.

Very good peatle.i enjoyed the chorus(yeah i`m a real chorus guy).
the two voices & guitar.you should put more of your words on Chordie.
i know you struggle a wee bit with vocal( i know the feeling) but your words can`t be faulted.
But i enjoy your vocal delivery,it truly is original & thats what it`s all about.
bring it on baby!!!!

Just wondering if we could do a group song.
everyone sing one line eg` we are the world`/band aid. etc.
maybe `all you need is love` or `a little help from my friends`
i`m sure one of the clever guys could do a backing track & patch it all together?
would only be worth doing if we had a commitment from 6 plus chordians.
What Ya Think?

Beamer my version is nothing like the ramones,i`m sorry.
originally i kinda heard it as rockabilly,
Peatle has taken my version to his musician friend & they are going to add bass & drums.

I`m pleased to see repeated lines in the chorus.
I`m a great fan of repeating lines,as a player it gives you an anchor
to go from.(if this makes sense)

On the subject of lyrics,you never know what is going to work.
the song that was voted `The Best song in last 50 yrs` in NZ.
lyric goes.
what else can i do
i need some thoughts that are new
Do do do do do do do do do
da da da da da da da da da

Bill
i`m with you on this,heaps of chordians come look ,but no one wants to communicate

https://www.reverbnation.com/thecoxless4/songs

No one has supported CSOM
so here`s a wee bit of song,i didn`t have the whole song so just did a taster.
not very tasty, i don`t really do covers, with my lack of ability.
Is some else going to do one???
