Topic: Second attempt "The Best Way To Be"- hope it's "nice and purdy"

The Best Way to Be by ShadyWilbury, Dec. 2006


[E]


An old blues man


Sits on[B7]the porch step


[E]


Strummin' on his ol' blunt axe


                             


Singin' songs of the cowboys he[A] knew


[B7]


And the west,


And the trail-worn hacks


[E]


In his heart he[A] longs for the old times


[B7]


When days were simple and  free


When he wasn't[E] tied down


To roa[A]min' round to[E]wn


[B7] [E]


And the best way to be was to be



[E][B7]


But those days are no longer


[E]


The modern world answers his call


[A]


With noise of the big city traffic


And hewon[B7]ders what become of it a[E]ll




Chorus


[E] [B7]


His free and simple existence


[E]


Unhindered by progress of   man


[A]


Vanishes into the distance


[B7] [E]


As the future puts paid to his plans




Chorus

Hey Shady - Nice song. It felt like kind of a porch picking song. Good job.
