Topic: The Wow
This song comes from another idea I got earlier tonight that I couldn’t figure out words to go with but liked the music. When I finally decided on writing what’s below I couldn’t figure how to work the music I originally thought of into a song about nothing meaningful, deep, thought provoking or life changing, just a song. So to sum it all up: this is a song about writing a song that I couldn't think of words for so I could use a catchy melody that in the end I forgot so I used something else. Get it? Good title huh? 
The Wow By Jeff Gilpin
January 17th, 2008
Verse 1
[D]This is just a song
That I’m [G]writing just for me
[D]Making up the words because
I [G]like the melo[A]dy
[D]Can’t come up with any
[G]Clever lyrics now
[D]So I’m putting down
[A]Words without the [D]wow
The [G]wow that’s what they call it
Words that [D]kind of make you think
The [G]hmmm wish I’d thought of it
To de[A]bate on over drink [D]
Verse 2
But to[D]night I got nothing
But this [G]catchy melody
I [D]tried for deeper meaning
And a [G]bit more myste[A]ry
But [D]nada, nothing, zippo
I [G]guess I’m all out of words
And [D]still I keep on writing
What will [A]surely be ab[D]surd
The [G]wow that’s what they call it
Words that [D]kind of make you think
The [G]hmmm wish I’d thought of it
To de[A]bate on over drink [D]
Verse 3
[D]It is a pretty melody
And [G]now out of my head
[D]Had to share for all to hear
Even [G]if my words have [A]fled
[D]Though they’re not real cleaver
They pro[G]vide a way for me
To [D]launch a little music
Laced with [A]words used so care[D]free
The [G]wow that’s what they call it
Words that [D]kind of make you think
The [G]hmmm wish I’d thought of it
To de[A]bate on over drink [D]
The [G]wow I know it’s missing
I [D]somehow left it out
Just a [G]song no hidden meaning
Nothing [A]deep to figure out [D]
