First of all, this site is incredible and helps us all!

Is there anyway to change the fonts in the songs and especially to bold the fonts for the chords?

My old eyes just ain't what they used to be!

Either way, this site is awesome and very much appreciated!

u4ea

hi U4ea,

I dont think you can change the font in the songs but you can change the size of the font if that helps.

and welcome to chordie

i keep reading and listening to songs in this section after so many people comment and say it all, leaving me nothing to say but repeating what others say. Maybe this is why I do not comment so much in this section now?

but I will have to repeat other posts on this.
james this is a fantastic beautiful number one song lol

I love the lyrics and I am thinking I am going to try this out. I will also create a new folder in my favourites to save other peoples songs from here. So many I have tried and liked then completely forgotten about them. But I love the lyrics so much on this I know I do not want to forget it.

cheers

Keep them coming

I originally said this but ended up editting greenday's post rather than me quoting from it, the part about "since when were the who punk", sorry greenday, I clicked on the wrong option. I clicked edit instead of quote.
Will not happen again. So i went in and editted it out as you never typed what I typed, below is what I typed.
lol
confused? yea me too lol
but tony had quoted my post although it was under your name.
I must be more careful,appologies

Ken



I thought that too at first but I am with Tron on this one, the who although seen as mods were in fact 60's punk.
They had attitude, agression, they were for the young people, they stood against the government. their lifestyle was much more punksi hthan greenday ever were or will be.

I do think greenday are not bad but their earlier stuff is by far better then their commerialised stuff. but in no way were they or will they ever be in the top 5 best punk bands of all time.

for those that dont know, the song is about a guy getting mugged and beaten up while down the tubestation at midnight, one of the last verses goes;

the last thing that I saw as I lay there on the floor
was a jesus saves painting by an atheist nutter
and a british rail poster read have an away day
a cheap holiday, do it today
dont want to go down in the tubestaion at midnight

great idea daddy,
Per is the only one that can do this, probably why it takes a bit of time.

But I am with you on this one. I have also added songs to the index and could not remember what they were. I came across ones that I had added some months later then remembered I had requested these ones,lol.
So it would be good for songs that are waiting to be added to be shown somewhere, but I dont know how easy or if this would be possible.

we will have to wait on Per.

my night out was the best i had this year so far, not that there has been many nights out lol
The meal I had was the tastiest meal I tihnk I have eaten, if not the best then it was really close to it. I dont even know what it was called that I had. I even took a photo of it lol yes I know I am a saddo! lol But it looked perfect.
It was a slice of haggis on the bottom then a slice of apple then a slice of venison then a slice of black pudding then another slice of apple and on top another slice of venison with a peppercorn sauce all stacked up and measured mabye about 10" high. served with mashed totties and veg.
hmmmmmmm, I want to go back now and get it again.

Then after that in the pub there was a 3 piece band, guitar,violin,mandolin playing all sorts. Irish,scottish and poppy sort of stuff done in a folky sort of way wit hthose instruments.

A very good night it was thanks.

Wish You Were Here.

I know just about everyone with an acoustic plays this song, but I am a long time Pink Floyd fan, and it was an achievement for me. Saw Roger Waters concert last fall, and what a show ...and yes: I truly enjoyed WYWH.

I am slowly picking up on the guitar, not spending enough time to get really good at it, but those who hear me play say I am getting more confident and a better player each time I pick it up.

The song that is my goal now is Patience -- GnR. easy to strum along and singto , but am working at those little fills and riffs.

Patience by G'n'R I tihnk is quiet easy but see trying to sing it......

I saw Roger also but in Dublin and hopefully going down england this year to see him again. I just wish he would play in scotland.


as for a goal( which is what the topic is about and sorry for nearly highjacking it)

i am trying to remember all the lyrics to "a reason for it all" by eric bogle. the chords are easy enough, and the lyrics should be. I am nearly there though...i think

I prefer the simpsons, but familyguy can be really funny too, but i cannot think of any really stand out funny parts, then again right now i just cannot think

hi rod

Are you talking about when you print the song, the chord diagram does not print out or do you mean you cannot print the chart of chord diagrams?

If it was option one then When Per readds this he will look into it. It may be a bug.
Recently chordie went thru some changes, so there might be one or two slight glitches that have not been pick up on.

pity you said do not suggest ebay, lol

I dont know why you said this, maybe you hate them or maybe because of posting? if it is to do with posting, you can get it as pick up only, but les chance of selling it.

also, have you tried advertising in the likes of the big supermarkets like asda,tesco etc? they usually have those boards that people sell things on, I hear they are mostly very good for local selling.

what sort of banjo is it and how much and where are you?

ye never know, someone here might want to buy it.

hi pfiddle and welcome to the site and forum.

My wife also plays fiddle, if you have any sheet music for trad. irish that you could email me that would be fantastic.
She is playing by ear and improvising with me playing, but she is wanting to do more sort of harmonising with the fiddle rather than just play what i am playing.
She has been playing for a couple of years, had some training and learned her scales.
Any other help would be good. Hse keeps going on about getting a fiddle book with the music but we have not found any yet, apart from stuff online but she likes to see it first to make sure it is in the same key I am playing ( mostly G's and D's) but the books we find are all higgilty piggilty

Eviljay

You can already get the text like this by going to edit song, there you see the song laid out like the way you like to see it. It is chordpro that throws those lovely chords above the words.

I like and prefer the way the songs are laid out, but thats me. Maybe some other would just like the way you are showing?

If I wanted a song like that I would go into edit and copy and paste into word, but then thats not handy for your chordie songbooks.
This is why we have a scroll option as well in chordie. So if you cannot see all the song on the screen and wish to play along you can use the scroll option. I use this a lot too
