It's a very simple song

A /A / D/ D
A / A /E /E
F#m/Bm/F#m/Bm
E/ E/ A/ A/

I don't know the words, but a bit of trivia. This song was written by Murry Wilson, the father of the Beach Boys Wilsons, and after he was estranged from his sons he wanted to prove he could do what they did. The Sunrays were a group he formed to record this song.

Or there's the song from Evita "Don't cry for me Ike and Tina"

or Herb Alpert ......."you see the sky, the sky's in love with you"

That's just fantastic, Old Doll. I think I could do that.

Eagle eye, it's a veterans athletics club christmas party and it is very much a joke. No serious competition, people from 30 to 90, some restrictions on language ( my mum will be there) but "hairy ass" is OK. (especially for me who has copped flak for having no hair on my chest all my adult life, and now find I'm amongst guys who shave their legs !!)

Thanks guys

I've got to do a song at a not very serious talent quest. In fact it will be a big joke so I just want to do something funny, but I can't think of a song to do.

I thought of doing Tammy Wynette's "Stand by your man", (I'm a fella), but my voice is not very strong these days.

Can anyone think of anything well known and kinky, funny or ridiculous. ?

Hi chordsters

Sorry to make second request on the same song, but I'm darned if I can work this out. Can anyone tell me the chords to this Dolly Parton (actually Mann-Weil) song. Eternally grateful.

Hi

I would love to get a tab of the banjo parts on this brilliant Ray Stevens recording.

I can't find anything on a site that I can open on google. Any help would be great.

Hi I'm new to this forum.

I used to write both my words and music together, but I found some old lyrics I wrote once when I was away for the weekend without my guitar.
I wrote the lyrics to the metre of an obscure song by someone else I had on cassette ( told you it was old), and I could never write a satisfactory tune for it when I got home.
The only way I could ever write was either with my partner or myself doing words and music together.

It's kind of a country ballad

Here it is

I couldn’t quite believe it when I heard the news
That I would be a father before the year was thru
A fine example I’d be for a daughter or a son
You wouldn’t dare to tell them half the things I’ve done

I’ve lived out on the borders of respectability
Doing things you wouldn’t dream of were commonplace for me
(second half of verse missing)


Chorus
And there she is my darlin’, crying ‘cause she can’t fit in her clothes
Our love, at first a trickle, is now a riverflow
But who’s to say I can’t shed the old life that I had
And who’s to say that I can’t be a dad




I always liked a few of those lines
