Re: Simple As

Thanks Peatle

The way I wrote it, I purposely left it so that any guy could plug in their own ( two syllable)  city  and their own lady's eye color 

for you, possibly.....

[G] I met a girl in Christchurch  , [G]she had the greenest  eyes 


I don't even know why I choose Nashville - I've never even been there - but it is on my bucket list for next summer.  smile

Thanks for the feedback.

Jim

Re: Simple As

TIGLJK I really like this song and many of the lines show some deep thought.  "to[C] find a girl that fits  me like a poet's [G] rhymes " is a great line.

CG

Thank you for the kind words. 
Once in a while something fits well.  I guess that's why we keep writing - doesn't always work that way smile

Thanks again

Jim

Re: Simple As

hey Jimbob, you've hit the jackpot again! and the hits (it should be a hit) keep coming. i played through it and it flows nicely. had trouble with the Bm but i think i worked that one out. you really have a knack with words.

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

Thanks

I was having troubles with the Bm  too.  It is always my nemesis sad

If you record it let me know - love to hear it.

Thanks for the kind words.

Re: Simple As

Ah! Not fingering the chord but altering the vocal melody line to suit! I'll send it to you when it's finished.

I changed the B chord to a Cadd9 chord - gives it a smoother and even harmonic sound.

It's also a lot easier for me to play   smile

Re: Simple As

Another great song, TIG. I noticed that it can pretty much be sung to the tune of "Take a Load Off, Fanny" by The Band.

Re: Simple As

TF Thanks

The song is The Weight by the band one that I have in my songbook  smile
I just tried it - the verses would fit that that chord progression - but not the chorus, at least I couldn't figure it out that way.


Thanks for the comment , I like this song a lot.

Re: Simple As

I love that chorus Jim man you know how to write a good song.
oh, I  [C] don't know how I ever got so[G]  lucky
to[C] find a girl that fits  me like a poet's [G] rhymes
and when [C] life gets stormy, she wants me by her [G]  side   
so  [Am] let the raindrops[C]  kiss me a thousand [G]times
[Am] let the raindrops[C]  kiss me a thousand [G]times
[Am] let the raindrops[C]  kiss me a thousand [G]times
[/song]
