Greetings KARENZ and welcome to chordie!  This site is a great resource - lots of folk feel overwhelmed initially on the web, but just keep playing with all the buttons and it will make sense.

Any idea who performed or composed or recorded the song?  Is it new or old?  That sort of stuff would be very helpful in tracking it down (if it's out there).  Sometimes when a song is not to be found anywhere there is a fan website for the performer where somebody can help.

Greetings ditsydropper and welcome to chordie!  Although I am not familiar with Fergie (please forgive my ignorance), I suspect the song you seek might be a cover of a hit by the Four Seasons.

Look in the 'Artists' index under 'F' for the Four Seasons and there are a couple of versions there.  Dang!  Now I'll be hearing that old song in my head all day . . . James

Hi there, gludiasmaximus13!  Having read you song, I feel like I just seen a one scene in an epic drama . . . I am now curious to know more about the people in the song.

Take a look at the message up at the very top of the Songwriting forum to see how to make yours songs appear 'all purdy like'.  Hope to see more of your creations!  James

Dandy little ditty there Jeff - One of my small joys each day is seeing the little red light for the coffee timer on when I step into the kitchen.  Having the pot come on automatically and brew is just so neat - I know, I am obviously easily amused.

Howdy Shady!  Wow -Glad you want to want to play my song!  6/8 time is just a sort of waltz beat that is similar to 3/4 but with a slightly different feel.

In 3/4 each measure has 3 beats and the emphasis is on 1 - ONE two three, ONE two three, etc.  It is sometimes called a 'slow waltz'.

In 6/8 each measure has 6 beats and the emphasis is on 1 with a smaller emphasis on the 4 -
ONE two three FOur five six, ONE two three FOur five six, etc.  It is sometimes called a 'quick waltz'.

It is a subtle difference - just get your waltz groove on and have fun with the song!

Wow - major surgery . . . to say nothing of being without the instrument while the work is being done.  The idea of having the neck built to incorporate the design seems sensible.

Maybe the same inlay design done as a tattoo wouldn't be nearly as costly and should fit just about right between wrist and elbow?  On the outside of the right forearm it would be nicely visable while you play.  Then, when the new guitar is built it will match nicely . . .

The desire to write songs is the most important factor - you've got that, so now pursue that desire by dedicating time to it every day.  Spend some quality time with your instrument and your muse - make it a habit.  Do it when you feel like it, and especially do it even when you don't feel like it.

Jot down ideas as they come to you (have a piece of paper and a pencil with you always).  Keep your eyes open and your ears perked up because raw ideas are everywhere.  Keep a notebook to hold your thoughts.

Don't expect your initial efforts to be masterpieces - but start with simple ideas and go from there.  Keep them simple - hooky riffs, killer solos, and other decorative elements can be added after the basic skeleton is built.

Don't be afraid to copy - it can really stimulate your creativity to base a song on another song.  Songwriting is tremendously rewarding once you get past the initial fear factor and start having fun with it.  James

Having a big library of stuff in word all edited to your liking is quite a collection.  Glad you enjoy what chordie has to offer -

Regarding chordpro - No - it is not a matter of avoiding piracy, it is just that chordpro format is an excellent way to make a song file.  It is not dependent on a particular font or printer, and it allows easy transposition and some other amenities.  Chordie does not host any of the songs in it's index - it merely crawls the web, finds, formats, and presents what it has found in a pleasing form.

There is a nice downloadable chordpro converter that is downloadable shareware.  It is called 'Songsheet Generator'.  You can google it up - I think the author requests $15 from persons who decide to keep and use the program.  A website called bythechord.com also has a nice little feature where you can drop a text file into it's converter and get a nice printed page.

Hi fleetwoodjazz, dont' worry about the language . . . just say whatever you got to say.

Try this version of the song that is indexed under Dylan:
http://www.chordie.com/chord.pere/www.u … ;id=342917

This version is a little more basic with fewer chords - generally, The Band's versions of Dylan's songs are 'fancied up' quite a bit since Robbie Robertson (their main guy) loved to create elaborate arrangements for his multi-talanted bandmates to show off their prowess.

While this version is not a note-for-note transcription of the song, a pianist who knows the chords can play it quite nicely by arpeggiating each chord and thumping down a bass line to suit.

However; if your friend is totally 'paper-trained' (must have written notes to play) perhaps this style of songsheet will not serve her purposes.  Since she does not sing, I suspect she was subjected to years of piano lessons where the student was expected to simply play what was written and never deviate from what was on the page (a very effective way to kill a child's fascination with music).

The only way I can think of getting the formal 'real' music for this song would be to get a Bob Dylan songbook for piano . . . I am not familiar with any email piano note service from chordie, though.

Try googling something like 'i shall be released lyrics music piano' and you might find a site similar to chordie for painists?  I suspect that somewhere out there in the wide wonderful web that there is a treasure trove of piano music awaiting your discovery.

Let us know how your search turns out . . .
