Topic: I USED TO BE COOL (3 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Driving home from work one night, thinking about the 'early days' and remembered something my daughter said to me once about how I used to be cool, but I'll never be cool again,.......hahahahaha..........and this song happened.
IMPORTANT: F F# & G on the bridge are bar chords that just slide up from F to G......THEN....……[4/3 3/2 2/1SLIDE4/3]…..is just the walk down from g to f on the E & G strings with a slide right back up to the G position...in other words,...4/3 is the fourth fret on the G string and the third fret on the E string.....keep that position and it will all work out for this part......goes to the C chord.
……[4/3 3/2 2/1 ..but I used to be...SLIDE........cool4/3]…..
