Re: I've Got To

Kapa54,

To know how to grow old is the master work of wisdom, and one of the most difficult chapters in the art of living.

I try to smile through it all.

Ps i cant do the quote thingy either. lol
How can i stop this umbrella from turning inside out?

Goodnight from the Emerald.

A wind blown Mary Poppins!

Re: I've Got To

As promiced a small edit and hey presto. Go into edit and look at the three lines I put before the song started and the one line at the end as that is all I have done apart from removing a couple of () brackets which can screw up the formatting. Also read James's sticky at the start of the Songwriting section for further details.

I hope you agree that it looks far better this way and you are able to have a nice print out of it too. Although the chords shown are the open chords you can always mention in your blurb that you normally play it with barre chords if you wish.

I have not time to play this now but I will give it a whirl later.

Re: I've Got To

Absolutely Perfect Roger....:)I can see where and what I have to do without fear of screwing up and looking stupid.From here on in I shall be voodooing my songs and making them "purdy".No question that it is a better format.Thank You..Thank You.I did write it with barre chords but I will give it a go with the open chords.
I'm guessing I can voodoo all my songs?
