Topic: The Best Way To Be- an original song I wrote.

This one is one of mine. It should have a 4/4 country feel if you want to give it a go.

The Best Way To Be by Shady Wilbury


[E]


An old blues man


[B7]


Sits on the porch step


[E]


Strummin' on his ol' blunt axe


[A]


Singin' songs of the cowboys he knew


[B7]


And the west,




And the trail-worn hacks




[A] [E]


In his heart he longs for the old times

[B7]


When days were simple and  free


[E]


When he wasn't tied down


[A] [E]


To roamin' round town


[B7] [E]


And the best way to be was to be



[E][B7]


But those days are no longer


[E]


The modern world answers his call


[A]


With noise of the big city traffic


[B7][E]


And he  wonders what become of it all




Chorus


[E] [B7]


His free and simple existence


[E]


Unhindered by progress of   man


[A]


Vanishes into the distance


[B7] [E]


As the future puts paid to his plans




Chorus

"Nobody paints by ear so why would I play guitar by sight?" hmm

Mate, have you got access to recording equipment? I'd love to hear it done with a slide.  <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_biggrin.gif" border=0 alt="Very Happy">
