Topic: Don't Say I Didn't Try

Hey Everyone... Here's another song from Rooster3.  I've had this one for a little while and just finished writing it, coincidetally like the song says while sitting in my front porch swing. Ironic.  ....Any suggestions on this would help before I record it.  Thanks again!

Don’t Say I Didn’t TryWritten By: Blake Stitcher


Copyright: Blake Stitcher




Intro:  D,  G,  A,  D




Verse 1:


[D] Sittin’ in my front porch rockin’ [G] swing,


[A] Wavin at the clouds as they pass [D] by.


[D] Singin’ a song I wrote for [G] you girl,


[A] About a love shared between you and [D] I.




Verse 2:


[D] I was wondering where it all went [G] wrong,


[A] Maybe we both grew up too [D] fast.


[D]This swing’s where we both fell in [G] love


But now I’m starin’ [A] at a half-full liquor [D] glass.




Chorus:


[D] But don’t you say I didn’t [G] try,


[A] To give you all that you [D] asked.


[D] If door number two has got what you [G]need,


[A]Then girl I wish you the [D] best



[D]Maybe my love just ain’t [G] enough,


[A] To keep you from walkin’ out that [D]door.


[D]But don’t you say I didn’t [G] try


To love you all my [A] life


You can’t say I didn’t [D] try.G, A, D




Verse 3:


A cool breeze blows across the porch,


To cool a hot afternoon sunset.


I’ve tried calling your phone a few times,


But I ain’t heard nothing back yet




Verse 4:


I heard you’ve got a new man across town


And I hope that he’ll be good to you.


Cause if you ever do call me back


I just wanted to tell you that we’re through




Chorus

Re: Don't Say I Didn't Try

Very nice little love-gone-wrong song, Blake.  I just noticed it on the forum and took the liberty of adding the coding so the the formatting voodoo would make it 'all purdy like'.

3-chord songs are wonderful - I enjoy the melodic freedom avialable when using a simple chord structure.  Hope you don't mind my edit-in the format codes.  James

I don't mind at all James.  When u format it it makes it look a ton better and when i read it i can tell how to read it better!
