I was told a story of a dog that had a tough life till he was found. I penned this song about him.
I use a slow to moderate strumm.  Have fun.   Brad Mc Dougall

Teddy's AngelUndefined


March 27/07




[Am] This is a song about [C] Teddy




[G] A dog that was on the [Am] roam,


[Am] He just wanted a [C] family


[G] To give him a [Am] home.


[Am] He was bred and born in a [C] puppy mill


[G] And taken to a [Am] store,


[Am] Where he felt love and [C] kindness


[G] And want for [Am] evermore.


Gardian[D] angel


Girl at the [Am] store


Gardian [D] angel


He longs forever [Am] more.


[Am] He got bounced around [C] from town to town


[G] Suffering [Am] abuse,


[Am] Through his days of [C] misery


he [G] longed for the [Am] girl,


[Am] Whose touch was the only [C] kindness


[G] In his lonley [Am] world.


Chorus







[Am] He needs her now more [C] than before


[G] His days are growing [Am] thin,


[Am] And if she doesn't come [C] along


[G] Death's needle will find [Am] him


[Am] She finds him scarred and [C] broken down


His [G] spirits not the [Am] same


[Am] But she knows [C] in her heart,


[G] She can heal him once [Am] again.


Chorus




[Am] In time he learns to [C] trust again,




[G] No more will he [Am] roam


[Am] He found love and [C] loyalty


[G] He found his forever [Am] home


[Am] And now the years have [C] quickly past


[G] The healing's all been [Am] done


[Am] The only thing he [C] longs for


Is to [G] be forever [Am] young,


With his gardian [D] angel


Girl at the [Am] store


Gardian [D] angel


He longed forever [Am] more


Gardian [D] angel..... let [D] ring...

Ahh for me it's the Highlands of the Cabot Trail in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada. The fishing is fantastic with scenery second to none. Fresh air by the sea, Whales off the coast, great camping and lots of great food. Super hospitality with great kitchen parties.

Thanks guys almost one half of a century. wow.

   One nite while jamming with too many spirits, one member of our little foursome got too drunk, fell off a kitchen chair. We got him back up put a hockey helmut on him and kept on jammin. hence the name  Crash Helmut Jug Band. The best part is it's pure fun.

Thanks Takamine and Detman for more ideas, The Ben Harper link is great.

   Our surprise birthday party  slash  Guitar jam was the best kitchen jam yet. Uauslly we have two or three acoustic's going but this time we had a Bass guitar and a Dobro slide guitar
which made things blusey. A friend of ours, Melody Britton, who was a back up singer to Noel Harrison [ who had a variety show on C B C television in the mid sixties ] was here and had a rich powerful blusey voice that filled our whole house. She is currently working on a blues album which all tunes are her own. The music started at 9 or so and finished up at 4:30 in the morning. We had twenty people in our big kitchen and of course the gals were up to their old tricks cooking some great food and spirits flowed as well. My muscial basket was put to good use with tamborine, shakers, gazoo and harmoncia accompaning tunes. Everyone had a grand time and asked at the door when the next jam is gonna be, seems I can't wait for the next one as well. I tell you there is nothing better than getting together and jammin till the wee hours of the morning. I learn so much from these jams it should be mandetory for all. Well enough rambling here's waiting for the next jam.



Musically filled.... Badeye cool

Thanks for the song ideas to all. I like you Zurf was trying to learn too much at once. Now I take a song at a time and really don't strive for perfection. B7 is a fine chord for me as I too use it for B. For me the guitar is pure fun and our kitchen jams are a blast. One tonite for
my buddy's 45 birthday, could be a rough sunday, he he.
