Topic: Tanya Tucker & Jeannie C Riley chords

Hi

Can anyone help me?  I'm looking for chords to two songs: 

"Spring" by Tanya Tucker
"Good Enough to be Your Wife" by Jeannie C Riley

I can't find them anywhere.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you  smile

Re: Tanya Tucker & Jeannie C Riley chords

Only lyrics could I find...sorry

J  E  T  S
...and yet a Washington Commanders fan (unless they change their name again) ...long story...HTT...C

Re: Tanya Tucker & Jeannie C Riley chords

I wonder if I can legally only write the lyric word where the chord changes. It would be easier to comprehend. I'll try it and the moderators can strike it if necessary. Seems the best way to me.

Muleybaby, Make a copy of the lyrics from the video. Jot the chords over the lyric words in RED.
Nice song. Have fun!

Re: Tanya Tucker & Jeannie C Riley chords

Hi Toots,

I am not sure whether this is OK or not (I hope it is OK) so I have written to Per for his views as his is the decision that counts.

Re: Tanya Tucker & Jeannie C Riley chords

I have just had a reply from Per and he is OK to let this stand as a one off but would be unhappy for this to become a standard way of posting chords. So for now it stays.

Re: Tanya Tucker & Jeannie C Riley chords

Thank you Toots!  Your help is much appreciated.  And thanks to Per for allowing it!  smile

Re: Tanya Tucker & Jeannie C Riley chords

Muleybaby, you are very welcome. When I get time, I will do the Jeannie C. Riley song. In order to ruffle no more feathers, I will E-mail this one to you privately.
My grateful thanks and apologies to Roger and Per for putting up with my foolishness.

It was not foolishness! I was hoping that it would be OK as it is a very helpful way of knowing where the chord changes are, but I can understands Per's reservations. The copyright vultures have millions to sling at legal beagles so it is not worth taking any risks.

And while I am at it, I would also like to say that I appreciate the time and trouble you go to in helping Members find the chords for their songs. Thank you

Re: Tanya Tucker & Jeannie C Riley chords

Hi Toots

Thank you once again.  I look forward to hearing from you about the second song.  I reiterate what Roger said about you taking the time and trouble to help beginners like me and others too.

Re: Tanya Tucker & Jeannie C Riley chords

It's my pleasure. I am a retired old guy and too old to gig anymore.
I enjoy helping young players find ways to play songs they like.
So many fine people helped me when I was coming up. This is one way for me to "pay it forward" for the good treatment I received.
I truly believe I have had more fun in my time than most white guys.

YOU KNOW YOU'RE TOO OLD TO GIG WHEN:

It becomes more important to find a place onstage for your box fan, than your amp.
You refuse to play out of tune.
Your gig clothes make you look like George Burns out for a round of golf.
Your fans have left by 10:30 p.m.
All you want from groupies is a foot massage.
Your aftershow party is at the International House of Pancakes.
You love taking the elevator because you can sing along to most of your playlist.
You hire band members for their values instead of their talent.
Instead of a fifth member, your band wants to spring for a roadie.
You've lost the directions to the gig.
You need your glasses to see your amp settings.
You've thrown out your back jumping off the stage.
You're thrilled to have New Year's Eve off.
The waitress is your daughter.
You stop the set because your bottle of Ibuprofen fell behind the speakers.
Most of your crowd just sways in their seats.
You find your drink tokens from last month's gig in your guitar case.
You no longer use a tip jar.
You refuse to play without earplugs.
You ask the club owner if you can start at 8:30 p.m. instead of 9:30 p.m.
You check the TV schedule before booking a gig.
Your gig stool has a back.
You're related to at least one other member of the band.
You need a nap before the gig.
You don't let anyone "sit in."
After the third set, you bug the club owner to let you quit early.
During the breaks, you now go to your van to lay down.
You prefer a music stand with a light.
You don't recover until Tuesday afternoon.
You can't operate without a set list.
You have a contract.
You say you double on bass.

Re: Tanya Tucker & Jeannie C Riley chords

I love you Toots, and everything you do for members!  I do have to agree with Per, but it sure would be nice if it was ok on a regular basis.  I'm glad he ok'd it for this one time... smile

Art and beauty are in the eyes of the beholder.
What constitutes excellent music is in the ears of the listener.
