My band opened for Chuck in Ottawa, Ont. Canada in the mid seventies. He was everything we expected on stage. A bit aloof off stage, but we were so "high" and star struck we didn't care. It was Chuck Berry!!!!
Never seen him live again so that is how I will remeber him.

Yea you're right Roger. Yu kinda gotta run your lips over it pretty quick in places don'tcha. I try to growl out the bottom end of the "A" The place I was headed to was if you can hear a collision between Nickelback and Great Big Sea. Growled out steady bangin' through the verses, comeing up high and big during the chorus, with harmonies and big drums. Accousticly it's "American Pie" at double tempo. I don't have the ways and means to record that I used to but will try to put together something.
Thanks for your comments

THE GHOST OF JACK DANIELS rock’n’country


[A]On a cold windy night, in a [D]dark Tennessee town,


I was [E]cleaning up the bar, getting [A]ready to shut’r down.


[A]When in walked a gentleman, well [D]dressed, tall and proud,


He was [E]weathered and grey, you could [A]tell he’d been around.




[A]He said his name was Jack, that [D]he was just lookin’ around,


To [E]share some old stories, and [A]throw a few whiskies down.


[A]He hitched up to the bar, I [D]finished my last round,


As [E]He began to speak, on his [A]brow there came a frown.




[A]He told me tales, of [D]brave hearted men,


Who [E]rode the horse of justice, who [A]never came back again.


[A]He talked about old Wyatt, about [D]Frank and Jesse James,


The [E]Youngers and John Tunstill, [A]Billy Bonny and his gang.


chorus


I [D]rode with Cole Younger, [E]in his Quantrell days.


[D]I was with young Jesse, [E]on the Northfield raid.


[D]Honour, respect and pride, are [E]hard to find these days.



There are [D]few men today, with the [E]courage …to be [A]brave.




[A]We fought against the Barons, we [D]fought the bankers to,


[E]We fought against the men, who [A]told us what to do.


[A]When you take a mans freedom, you [D]take away his life,


you [E]take away the only thing he has, that [A]keeps his soul alive.




[A]After many years of travels, of [D]bramble, wind and rain,


My [E]kind are few and scattered, and [A]numbered are our days.


[A]The last of a dying breed, are the [D]men I’ve known with pride.


[E]We stood tall together, while [A]others around us died.


[A]So one more shot bartender, [D]Old No. 7 please,


For [E]all of those behind us, who [A]left us with this creed.


[A]Now the whiskey bottle is empty, as the [D]ballads, dirges and hymns,


I’ll[E]never forget that mans face, the [A]one on the bottle looks a lot like him.


CHORUS  X 2

Good-Day to the CHORDIE people!
Does anyone out there remember an old song that has the line-
"  Ooo Linda put the coffee on " It kinda sounds like Harry Nillsson's Everybodys Talkin' At Me. That style anyway.
Thanks

Good for you Roger!!! Chordie has helped me numerous times over the years, and it is safe to say that I would not have the repatoire of songs that I can enjoy playing for hours, if not for the Chordie people that took their time to help me. I have always tried to post back a thank-you.

Thanks for all the input . It looks like the uke site suggested by IUKEy is as close as I'm going to get. I'm don't have a web site and don't know if I can import from other sources to build on what is available there.  If IUKEy has any ideas on this I'll see them here.

I'm looking for a system that is more or less a kareeoke type program for guitar player/singers. Yuo would have a regular kareeoke type layout only difference being haveing the chord changes written above the words as they roll through the screen. This would allow us to play along with and sing. Changing the key would be a bonus.
Is there such a thing out there???
