Topic: help please

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

Do you mean the lyrics and chords in Chordpro format or an actual recording ?
If it's lyrics and chords - I usually find that I have messed up the format
especially the brackets that start

title By Phill



[C]the body[D] and end [G]

Thanks Jim, just the chords and lyrics. I keep getting the same message which I can't remember now something about B opened illegally. I've gone through the sticky and adjusted accordingly, still nothing. I'll try again later.

Daddy SaidUndefined


[A] Ya cant make a living out of rock and roll.


Well [D] that's what my daddy said.


[E] Two hundred miles from one gig to the next.


[D] Drink and drugs and [A] sex.






[A] The next hotel looks just like the last.


And the [D] faces all look the same.


[E] A glass of wine and a mug of beer.


Is that [D] all you get for the [A] fame.


It's a [A] hard life to live.


It's a [D] long hard climb to the top.


It's [E] harder when you get to the peak.



It's [D] easy to let go and [A] drop.


It's a [A] hard life to live.


Are you [D] sure you want to live like that?


I've been [E] there myself, driving up and down the roads.


And [D] that's what my daddy [A] said.


[A] Ya cant make a living out of rock and roll.


Without [D] paying for the life you live.


[E] Jack D will make you pay the toll.


The more you [D] drink the more you [A] give.


He [A] shook his head then he bought me a guitar.


[D] Got it from the second hand store.


He [E] drove me to the gigs and he paid for the rooms.


I guess he [D] couldn't do any [A] more.

I could get most of it but there is something screwy going on. I have to go to a meeting tonight, I can try again tomorrow.  I think it's in that last verse.
However the title and sub title is screwy too

Sorry I couldn't be of more help
