Topic: Song I wrote - Inspired by Russell

I listened to Russell and his boys play the song Pawnee Creek ( no lyrics).

I could not get that out of my head for about two days.
I wrote these lyrics to it and finally added some chords.
I could never be able to play like those guys bc I'm not a very good musician so I just tried to give it a fast rhytym like their song was.
Anyway here it is.
I put my capo on 4th fret

Pawnee Creek  by Jim Kenyon


Verse 1


.


[Em]up in the Northland near Pawnee creek


met me a woman made my knees grow weak


I fell so hard I nearly lost my mind


[B7]made me feel so good, then she[Am] left me be[Em]hind



Verse 2


.


[Em]we shared a cabin down by Pawnee creek


I fell in love for about a week


she was a hard luck woman with killer eyes


[B7]her bed was warm, but her [Am]heart was full of[Em] lies



.




Chorus


[Am]oh Pawnee Creek, Pawnee Creek


[Em]Yeah Pawnee Creek, Pawnee creek


[Am]where the water flows and the eagles fly


[B7]mystery and shadows ‘neath a [Am]pale moon [Em]sky



[Am]oh Pawnee Creek,such a pretty name


[Em]Pawnee creek, never leave you the same


[Am] sure ain’t no place for the mild or meek


[B7]oh how I miss that woman from [Am]Pawnee [Em]Creek




.



Verse 3


.


[Em]Up in the tall pines near Pawnee creek


I still hear her voice, though she doesn’t speak


Oh, We loved, we loved,and we loved some more


[B7]but then that witchy woman snuck [Am] out the [Em]door




.


Chorus


[Am]oh Pawnee Creek, Pawnee Creek


[Em]Yeah Pawnee Creek, Pawnee creek


[Am]where the water flows and the eagles fly


[B7]mystery and shadows ‘neath a [Am]pale moon [Em]sky



[Am]oh Pawnee Creek,such a pretty name


[Em]Pawnee creek, never leave you the same


[Am] sure ain’t no place for the mild or meek


[B7]oh how I miss that woman from [Am]Pawnee [Em]Creek




[B7]oh how I miss that woman


[B7]oh how I miss that woman


[B7]oh how I miss that woman ..........


from [Am]Pawnee [Em]Creek




end with a walk down B string 2nd fret, B string open, G string 2nd fret, G string open, to EM strum

Re: Song I wrote - Inspired by Russell

Great lyrics only I was playing in a major key if you change the minors to major it works
