Hey all - I'm going to give it a try. I roughed out the words this morning (no chords yet). I'm relating it to the goings-on in my neck of the woods. I have a friend and neighbor fighting the big C who I haven't seen for a while but heard from his wife that he's not doing well. Here's what I have so far:

Another Ghost

Hey neighbor where’d you go
I remember seeing you all the time
You’d be working in your yard
I’d be working on mine
But we’d stop work in the middle
Set aside our weekly chore
Catch up on all the goings-on
In each other’s world

Another ghost
Among the many
Friends I’ve lost
And I’ve lost plenty 
Are you still around
Have you come to boast
How great it is now
That you’re a ghost

The truth is that I don’t even know
Whether or not you’re with us still
If you’ve made your final peace
And climbed that big old hill
What awaits us all I guess
Once our journey’s done
Settled in upon us
After our earthly run

Another ghost
Among the many
Friends I’ve lost
And I’ve lost plenty 
Are you still around
Have you come to boast
How great it is now
That you’re a ghost

I know before too long I’ll hear
The news of if you’re well
Neighbors will start sharing
Pass on the news after a spell
Who knows I might see you
Outworking in your yard again
And I’ll come over catch us up
All about how we’ve been

Will you be a ghost
Among the many
Friends I’ve lost
And I’ve lost plenty 
Is that really you
Have you come to boast
How great it is now
That you’re a ghost     

Here is my song Another Ghost, and how I play it. I would love to hear some other versions I anyone else whats to try it out. - https://soundcloud.com/jets60/another-ghost     

Ok we have two early birds on here again lol, its suggestions for MAY only lol   Having said that, I had a listen and both so good guys

jets60, that was a great piece of writing, well written and as always, your music is always a pleasure to listen too.  I could almost imagine some cheeky person coming back as a ghost and hanging around the place after listening to that.  I wish I could write as well as you and some of the others on here can.

neophytte, that was really good and your son did so well, how neat to have another musician in the family.  I always enjoy the visuals in your videos too, how you play around and make them interesting.  Nice one.     

Laugh Lots ... Forgive Much ...  Love one another

Richard  that is a real good song and good to have some young blood on chordie joining you.
Jeff your prodigious  output and ability to write all these good songs always impresses me.

Thanks - this was just a suggestion (not the entry!) for FSOTM, just adding a demo on the wy I play it - but it would be nice to see someone else attempt it, as I always play the songs I write the way I play them; but other people play and interperate differently ...

Thank you; he is becoming a very talented musician - he amazed me when he listened to my old band mate and myself play it, then transcribed it to music on NoteFlight (drums, bass, piano and guitar parts), then was able to play it. I keep telling him I just write down guitar chords ...

Thanks, we have a couple of other duets on my channel.

Cheers

Richard
