Well, there's nothing more to say than this  -  till the next time !

There's more to love than Leviticus

There's more to love than Leviticus
More to passion than a page in a book
And I'd scream in the face of a hurricane
To get back the love you took

There's more to love than that,
More to love than that.

You know I lit you up
Like a fiery Christmas Tree
There's pagan in your veins, girl
When you lay with me.

I guess what troubled you most
Was that you lost control.
The claw marks on my shoulders
Would only stain your soul.

But what's gained by leavin' now
Maybe matronly respect,
Tinsel on your angel wings.
You know you should have stayed.

There's more to life than sainthood,
More than a seat in the choir.
You saying you hated me
Just leaves you the liar.

This came out of a riff - Em - Em(+7) - Em7 - C - Em . The "Exxon Sign" is in hommage to Springsteen. I may change the last verse.

Shot To Hell

There's a stage door
Where we used to meet,
A whiskey bar
Where we'd drink till three
And John the Barman
Used to keep the score

We'd rack up dozens
Night by night
We'd turn their heads
Squeeze them tight
John would get the tally
And add one more

And then I met you
And i was smitten
I met you
And I was broken
I met you
And started lovin'
And my world
Is shot to hell

Now my life is filled
With drink and guns,
Knives and numbers,
Hard bought fun
But John the Barman
Is always wantin' more.

You meet your targets
Pay your dues
I couldn't count on
My time with you
John takings started
Droppin'through the floor -

It isn't working
I have to choose
The love of one woman
Or cash and boose
While John's evil eye says
He won't take no more.

So meet me by
The Exxon sign.
Leave your shoes, girl,
There's no time
Forget John's tally
I'm headin out the door.

Now the dawn's glowin
Across a different land
I'm walkin with you
Across golden sands
Johns never gonna find us, honey
on this foreign shore.

Best thing I ever did
Was look in your eyes
But I'm also glad
That I did decide
To start a little action here
Just like before.

Cos i met you
And I was loaded
I met you
Then I had nothin
Gotta pay for you
And you're always moanin
Yes, my life's
Been shot to hell

Hi, everyone.

I'm hoping to record this again at the weekend. I'm not happy with the first run through.

I was rather taken with Zurf's recent predicment and wondered "When would you just not want to sleep". And this is the result.

Forget the Chordie chords, the real ones are below the song. Despite the seeming difficulty of their names - these chords are actually very easy to play.

Chordpro error: This is not a valid artistname. You will have to specify an artistname in the form {st: Artistname} in the beginning of the code.

Jimi Hendrix Chewed my Ears

I found Jimi
One long dark country night
When the airwaves over Belfast
Suddenly caught alight.

Now my hearin's all but shot,
Can't hear my children talk
A speaker aganist each ear
That's what started the rot

Don't blame me , Lady
It's as bad as it appears,
Cos a Voodoo Chile sucked out my brain
While jimi Hendrix chewed my ears

All Along the Watchtower
St Elmo's fire, it glowed
And the Crosstown Traffic
Meant the cock, it wouldn't crow

My Red House it burnt down,
My ear drums beat retreat
When Jimi's little wing,
She began to bleat.

I flew into a purple haze
When i couldn't get a fix,
On that stereo switch,
Peace in Missisippi mix.

If i have to ask you twice
What you said to me,
Well it's all jimi's fault.
He did that you see.
