Topic: Tell A Little Story
I original wrote the music for my band, but never got round to showing them. Finished the lyrics off this evening.
It's basically about being used by a girl on the rebound. (have no personal experience of this, but still wanted to write a song about it)
Hope you all enjoy.
Sean.
PS: The fifths are meant to be powerchords.
