Topic: Worthless

Worthless
By Graham Windle
All rights reserved © 25/11/2014

Wrote this song this morning for all  those  struggling  to make ends meet where ever  you may be .


D                      C                      D
I’m sorry that I haven’t found a job today
D                     C                D
I’m sorry that I haven’t any pay
D                    C                       D
I’m sorry but I walked a dozen miles today
C                      G                   D
But everybody just turns me away

Chorus

A                    G         D
You make me feel so worthless
A                   G                         D
You make me feel like I’m not a man
A                    G         D
You make me feel so worthless
C                        G                 D
But you know...I do the best I can


D                   C                        D
I often go and sit there by the railway
D                                   C                        D
I watch the freight trains as they come and go
D                        C                      D
I see the people walking to their office
C                             G                       D
Now, what its like to be them I don’t know

Chorus

A                     G         D
You make me feel so worthless
A                     G                       D
You make me feel like I’m not a man
A                    G         D
You make me feel so worthless
C                       G                 D
But you know...I do the best I can

D                 C                   D
Maybe I can find another option
D                  C                     D
Maybe I can change this life I lead
D                  C                      D
Maybe I can show the people something
                      C                   G                       D
Well! You can shoot me but I ain’t got time to bleed
                      C                   G                       D
Well! You can shoot me but I ain’t got time to bleed
                      C                   G                       D
Well! You can shoot me but I ain’t got time to bleed

Re: Worthless

"You can shoot me but I ain't got time to bleed", I like that line, would love to hear you play this in your style. I've got several ex's that said I was worthless, and they were right!

Live in the "now" - a contentment of the moment - the past is gone - the future doesn't exist - all we ever really have is now and it's always "now".

Re: Worthless

Grah1, interesting. Deep things going on here. I like it, I like it when writers get deep into the story they tell.
Things like this get into our mind and sometimes it has to be told in a song. Great job. Keep writing.

Re: Worthless

Thanks  guys  I  woke  up  this morning  with  this  in my  head  and  had  to  get  it  down , I'll do  an acoustic rendition of  it  as  soon as  I  can , most  of  my  songs  can be  played  either  electric  or  acoustic ,but   I  think  I'll  explore  the  acoustic version of  this as I  have  an idea  for  a vid to  go  with it .

Re: Worthless

Well done Graham! I'm going to have to give it a whirl on the 12 string.

Re: Worthless

It would be nice to here your interpretation BJ a bit of jangley 12 string would be great I look forward to hearing it.

Re: Worthless

Now I am depressed Grah. Good tune for sure

You can see all my video covers on [url]http://www.youtube.com/bensonp1000[/url]
I have finally found happiness in my life.  Guitars, singing, beer and camping.  And they all intertwine wonderfully.
