Topic: Hard Rain - Beamer & Jet60's First

Scott emailed me about a week ago with this song idea and we worked at it together and came up with what you see here. I just sent Scott a scratch of how I play it acoustically and I can't wait to his electric version. I think it turned out great. It sure has a much more edgy style than my normal Folk/Americana stuff.

Hard Rain Words by Scott Sailer and Jeff Gilpin - Arrangement by Jeff Gilpin


June 27, 2013




[Dm]Hard rain on a sunny day


[F]there aint no [G]rainbow


[Dm] that can make me smile today [C] [G]



[Dm]Looking for that pot of gold


[F]has worn me [G]out


[Dm]its making me old [C] [G]



[Bb]Taking my mind on a [A]trip


to where Ill [Dm]feel no pain


[Bb ]taking my mind some[G]where


so I wont [A]go in[A7]sane.




[Dm]Nothing in my rear view


[F]Less up a [G]head


[Dm]No direction to cling to [C] [G]



[Dm]Want to travel far away


[F]Escape my [G]life


[Dm]But I’m just bone weary today [C] [G]



[Bb]Taking my mind on a [A]trip


to where Ill [Dm]feel no pain


[Bb] taking my mind some [G]where


so I won’t [A]go in[A7]sane….[Dm7]

Re: Hard Rain - Beamer & Jet60's First

a lot of rock comes from folk/country just listen to the eagles. so i'm waiting with baited breath for a recording...should be good if the words and chording are anything to go by

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

Re: Hard Rain - Beamer & Jet60's First

Ark, If you PM me your E-mail, I will send you the alt version from Jeff's that I have in mind. (Hold on to your hat,, we are talking about the metalizer here LOLOLOL)  I have a scratch that Jerome has tweaked a bit.  I think we could honestly call our team writing as "Two sides of the Coin Productions" LOLOL Hey! That might be something to think about!
