Topic: "Those Menopause Pills"

I just added another verse to this epic ballad of adventure and hormonal imbalance . . .

Here is another fun little county&western twanger.  This song is by no means autobiographical and any resemblence to persons living or dead (or to whom I may be married) is purely coincidental!
[SONG]
{t:Those Menopause Pills}
{st:by, James McCormick, February 17, 2007}

I've dodged [G]poison darts from cannibals, dived for [C]treasure with hungry sharks
Faced [D]polar bears on the tundra's edge, spent the [C]night in Central [D7]Park
Been [G]chased by vengeful Bedouin, and scaled [C]Himalayan peaks
[D]Static jumped Patronas Towers, and I've [C]dated several [D]freaks
. . . .
I've run the [C]bulls in old Pamplona, wrestled [G]'gators in the swamps
Spe-[C]lunked in haunted caverns, and with [D]show girls I have [D7]romped
I've been [G]all around the planet seeking [C]ever bigger thrills
But true [D]fear had never gripped me 'til you ran [D7]out of those menopause [G]pills
{soc}
Darlin' [C]please forgive me for what-[G]ever I did do
You [D]know deep down I'd never try to [C]knowingly upset [D]you
Darlin' [C]please forgive me for what-[G]ever I did say
And [C]please oh please oh darlin' please, please [D]put that knife a-[D7]way
{eoc}
I've [G]hiked the Appalachian Trail, I've [C]won tri-athalons
Eaten [D]sushi with sumo wrestlers, had my [C]hair cut in topless sa-[D7]lons
I've [G]driven Grand Prix auto races, and [C]slalomed in Katmandu
I've [D]communed with wizened gurus and de-[C]ciphered ancient [D]runes
. . . .
But [C]that was all so long ago, it's all [G]ancient history
I [C]thought my days of mortal danger were [D]way behind of [D7]me
I had been [G]all around this planet seeking [C]ever bigger thrills
But true [D]fear had never gripped me 'til you ran [D7]out of those menopause [G]pills
{soc}
Darlin' [C]please forgive me for what-[G]ever I did do
You [D]know deep down I'd never try to [C]knowingly upset [D]you
Darlin' [C]please forgive me for what-[G]ever I did say
And [C]please oh please oh darlin' please, please [D]put that knife a-[D7]way
{eoc}
Once I [G]conjured up a genie and then I [C]squandered every wish
Se-[D]duced the queen of the mermaids and [C]she ain't no old cold [D7]fish
I've [G]modeled on the cover of that [C]GQ magazine
Had [D]paparazzi on my tail and [C]crabs in my blue [D]jeans!
. . . .
And I will [C]brave a big tsunami, slog through [G]hail and sleet and rain
I will [D]dance through a tornado and [C]crawl through a hurri-[D7]cane
Just to [G]get you what you need dear, your pre-[C]scription I will fill
'Cos it's [D]obvious to me dear that you [D7]need those menopause [G]pills
{soc}
Darlin' [C]please forgive me for what-[G]ever I did do
You [D]know deep down I'd never try to [C]knowingly upset [D]you
Darlin' [C]please forgive me for what-[G]ever I did say
And [C]please oh please oh darlin' please, please [D]put that knife a-[G]way
{eoc}

Hi James,


You have either led a very exciting life or you have a fertile imagination.


In spite of your introductory note I wonder where the inspiration for this song came from! Please watch out for flying frying pans! <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_lol.gif" border=0 alt="Laughing">


Seriously though, It reads through very well, I shall transfer it to my 'Hijacked Songbook' and play it as soon as I have left the forum.

Re: "Those Menopause Pills"

And I did and it was good!! In fact I am going to add this one to my repertoire, I sing far too many serious songs and need some lighter ones. With your permission of course James.

Re: "Those Menopause Pills"

Have at it Sir Roger!  I'm going to keep playing around with the lyric since I keep thinking of more and more absurdly adventurous activities . . .


"I've conjoured up a genie then squandered my every wish,

Seduced the queen of the mermaids and she ain't no cold fish."


And so forth . . .

Re: "Those Menopause Pills"

Hey y'all - I just added another verse to my epic tale of derring-do and pharmacological frenzy . . . it just felt like the narrative needed a little resolution.
