this song started out as a single line " ill be waiting for you some where in the promised land" then it evolved into I'll be waiting for you on the other side  no need to think about no need to wonder why  I ll be waiting for you holding out my hand I,ll leave a light on for you some where in the promised land.

so now I have what I think is pretty chorus , where to go with it? well see for yourself let me know what you think about it 

thats great man     

thinking there is a country song in her shadylips ….maybe.

any way most of my songs start out a single line that usualy comes to me out of the blue and then build around it. 9 times out of ten it gets changed around in the end. I allways have trouble with coming up with a chorus  for a song why  many of mine do not have one. and that brings me around to what I am working on now , a line hit me the other day made a few adjustments and now have  a great chorus I think. now  need to build around it which opposite of what I usualy do .

TIGJLK here are the words and chords as requested

D                          G                     D
we never made that one last ride
Bm                                    G                   D
been so long since you were by my side

you were no there for my fare well toast
who'll raise a glass to my lonely ghost

pour me a whiskey before they pull up the sheet
there will be no grass growing under my feet

chorus
D                                G                   D
seems so long but its only begun
C                                      G                           D
you cant stop a bullet once its left the gun
D                                 G                 D
dont wait to long my prodigal son
C                              G                                     D
you cant go back once its all said and done

dont be surprised when that telephone rings
he hung around waiting but he left here last spring
you try and call back but there's no one at home
just leave a message for the kids when their grown
I hope they get that message some day
before some one comes and takes it away

chorus

memories will haunt you like a ghost from the past
you'll be amazed how the years go fast
I look in the mirror full of regret
because I see myself in your silhouette
faces are fading that ive never met
and voices are missing from my last duet

chorus

I work with  a guy who bought one, expensive brand  dont recall the name now but the sound was nit all that great on it. my  $175 Alvarez beater sounded better. reminded me of my little travel martin guitar  made from laminates.  any way my opinion for the cost not worth it unless your leaving it out side over night or plan on playing it IN the pool.

added words and chords if any one is intrested


G          Em                   C             G
I saw someone in a parking lot
G         Em               C               D
reminded me of you quit a lot
G               Em                        C                                 G
sat there in my truck and watched them walk on by
G               Em                       D                    G
after all these years it still can make cry

chorus
C                     D                      G         Em
through the miles and the memories
C                       D              G
i cant seem to let you go

and thought you never really said good bye
your never coming back i know

I often wonder how you've been
do you ever think of me now and then
I never hear from you , and you dont come to town
but still think of you even though your not around


no faded pictures will there be
no time for birthdays no time for you and me
no fond fare wells      sincere apologies
just an empty hole full bitter memories

rolled down my window threw my hat down on the seat
and let the wind blow voices from the street
they try to tell me everything will be all right
and in the morning maybe we will see the light

ok so I use the earthwoods on my takamini I keep at work and really like them hard to beat for the price . oddly enough ive never put them on my Taylor guitars. I switch between the elixir and D'addario strings , thinking the next set will be the sonotones just for picks and giggles.
