Topic: Lady you've got me going crazy

I was inspired to write this song because of the
Overwelming feelings I have for a woman I know.
Capo 1st fret

Lady, you’ve got me going crazy

Verse 1
F                                                           
I knew you was special, from the moment I saw you   
  Am                                                      Bb/Gb                                        C
I just wanted to hug and adore you, I feel so happy in your company
F                                                       Am   
Just one look in your eyes and I start to fantasise   
Bb/Gb                                                                           C
That you are there laying, close, naked, next to me Oh, Oh, Oh,
Chorus
F                                               Am       
Lady, you’ve got me going crazy
         Bb/Gb                                                          C
This passion is so hot it’s filling up inside of me
                          F                                        Am   
I’m drowning, save me! Come on and save me!
Bb/Gb                                                        C             
I want you so bad, it’s getting hard to breathe,
C7                         F
Every time we meet

Verse 2
F               
Life is too short if there’s a chance we should take it
Am                                                      Bb/Gb                                                     C
Jump on in I know we can make it, let’s get drunk on this sexual chemistry
F                                                   Am 
I don’t want to take it slow, I want to let it blow   
Bb/Gb                                                                           C
It feels so good every time your body's close to me, Oh, Oh, Oh,

Repeat Chorus
F                                               Am       
Lady, you’ve got me going crazy
         Bb/Gb                                                          C
This passion is so hot it’s filling up inside of me
                          F                                        Am   
I’m drowning, save me! Come on and save me!
Bb/Gb                                                        C             
I want you so bad, it’s getting hard to breathe,
C7                    F
Everytime we meet
 
F                                                       Am
Just one look in your eyes and I start to fantasise
Bb/Gb                                                                      C
That you are there laying close naked next to me,oh oh oh
         
Repeat Chorus
F                                               Am       
Lady, you’ve got me going crazy
         Bb/Gb                                                          C
This passion is so hot it’s filling up inside of me
                          F                                        Am   
I’m drowning, save me! Come on and save me!
Bb/Gb                                                        C           
I want you so bad, it’s getting hard to breathe
C7                       F
Zoe sleep with me.

Re: Lady you've got me going crazy

This is a great tune. Just played it through; your track was super helpful in figuring out melody and chord placement.

Do you mind if I take a crack at recording it?

Re: Lady you've got me going crazy

Cheers Baldguitardude no I don't mind at all. I don't feel I do it justice and would love to hear your recording. Thank you for asking.

Thanks man. I have been messing with this song all night. It's really fun. Here's how I'm feeling it. What do you think?

Re: Lady you've got me going crazy

Baldguitardude I like it very much. Its slower but in a good way  I was a bit disappointed that it was just the one verse. But I love how you sing it and your guitar arrangment fits well with the song. I'd love to hear how you would arrange the whole song. Thank you Joe I enjoyed that. I'm off to sound cloud  to listen again.

Re: Lady you've got me going crazy

Cheers Peatle Jville I was going for a fun upbeat sound, but I love what Baldguitardude has done with it too,a more laid back feel.

Re: Lady you've got me going crazy

I only got to start on it late last night after I finally got my little one to bed.  I’ll work more on it today.

Re: Lady you've got me going crazy

I rarely visit the songwriting forum, but BGD told me he was working on a recording so I thought I'd check it out. This is indeed a great song Trevor - kudos to you sir!

Rule No. 1 - If it sounds good - it is good!

Re: Lady you've got me going crazy

BGD,  nice, like your different version of Ctech`s song, good rhythm, easy listening.  So interesting to see peoples different take on a song.

Re: Lady you've got me going crazy

Thanks Jandle haha! Old girl is not something I'd ever say to a woman only to the German Shepherd I once had. My version of the song is raw exactly as it came into my head. BGD's version is good rythm and easy  to listen to. I'd say gentle, when I heard it , l felt it. Also I wanted to write a song with 4 chords repeating over in verse and chorus.

Re: Lady you've got me going crazy

Good job, CTECH ... well written & performed. I'm one of those people that Paul McCartney wrote about in "Silly Love Songs", so I don't tend to gravitate to this sort of thing. But yours is really good.

Re: Lady you've got me going crazy

Thank you Tenement Funster I wanted to show tenderness but also the pure passion you feel when you meet someone who takes your breath away. Also I feel since putting more of my personality into a song I feel they are getting better. Being a Gemini / Cancerian it's easy to cut yourself off sometime and just see darkness but now I'm trying to get more intouch my Gemini side.

Re: Lady you've got me going crazy

I listened to your original recording and I thought very country and western. I listened to BGD version and I thought reggae! Then I listened to the last one and I thought...yep you've mixed both with a bit of cockney cheeky chappy accent and what sounds like a uke on my tablet speakers! I like it.

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

Re: Lady you've got me going crazy

thanks peatle, glad you liked it considering I can't sing or play that good and this is just a raw recording,sung in to 8 track with no effects.
