Re: the creek dont run by my cabin no more

nice one mojo, nothing wrong with the quality of the recording, only that the vocal is a little low. try raising the lap top higher to get the guitar below the mic line. i'd like to see the words too smile

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

Re: the creek dont run by my cabin no more

I play it withcapo on second fret
(Am) now the creek don't r(C)un by my c(G)abin no m(C)ore
(Am) cold wind bl(C)owing out si(G)de my front d(Am)oor
nothing but weeds where my cabin once stood
now I wonder these cold darken woods
left my wife and child behind
I went to sea my fortune to find
visions of gold gleamed in my eye
dreams of Spanish plunder and prize
chasing their galleons and stealing there gold
for king and country or so I was told
but a king owes no sailor any loyalty
such is the privilege of being royalty
privateer to pirate is what you will be
when the king revokes your letter of marquee
now the king and his navy have a warrant for me
that is why I have returned from the sea
no one to turn to and no where to go
I have returned to the home I used to know
but there is nothing but dust where I swam in my youth
hard times and change that's the cold honest truth
now the creek don't run by my cabin no more

Sounds good. And good song

I have finally found happiness in my life.  Guitars, singing, beer and camping.  And they all intertwine wonderfully.

Re: the creek dont run by my cabin no more

Apart from the vocal level being a little low it is a very good recording. The other way around this is use Audacity (an enormously expensive piece of software, like FREE smile) and record guitar and vocals separate you can then adjust the levels to get the balance right.

Well done,
