Topic: "Sorry Old Doll"

Regular followers of the forum will know that due to my continued birthday celebrations, and over-indulgence of the Single Malt, I miscalculated and I got a lady's age wrong. As she over-ruled the flogging and the keel-hauling I have written and recorded this song as a apology.

"Sorry Old Doll" can be heard on: http://www.myspace.com/friendsofchordie

I hope I am forgiven. :-(

Sorry Old DollRoger Guppy 2007


Intro:




[A][G][Bm][F#m]




Verse 1:




[Bm]I have made a [F#m]big mistake,


What an [Bm]awful thing to [F#m]do,


I [G]added extra [D]years,


On [G]to the age of [A]you.




Verse 2:




A more [Bm]sweet and charming [F#m]lady,


Is so [Bm]very hard to [F#m]find,


Who can [G]take my insult with [D]grace,


And is [G]ever nice and [A]kind.




Chorus:


What [D]can I do to [Bm]make amends?


To [G]right what I've done [A]wrong,



The [D]best I can do, the [Bm]way things are,


Is to [G]offer [A]you this [D]song.


[A][G][Bm][F#m]






Verse 3:




[Bm]This is my [F#m]penance,


For[Bm]giveness is my [F#m]goal,


I have [G]written this to [D]say,


I am [G]truly sorry, Old [A]Doll.




Chorus:


What [D]can I do to [Bm]make amends?


To [G]right what I've done [A]wrong,


The [D]best I can do, the [Bm]way things are,


Is to [G]offer [A]you this [D]song.

Very cute and irresistable, Roger!
I'm certain that the very charming Lena will forgive your indiscretion.

Wow What a great way to apologize. Nice song, you Honey-Dripper. I'm sure Old Doll will love it.

Have a good day...Badeye.

Re: "Sorry Old Doll"

Gobsmacked is all i can say, coming home from work to find someone has taken the time to write a song for me !!!

When my final day on earth has come, I will slide into my grave with I large bar of chocolate, I huge Bottle of Woolf

Blass wine,  the words and chords to my song,  If  Rogerguppy permits ?, my beautiful guitar  { maybe by then i will

have musical clarity to my minor chords.. }  What a way to go.! 

Thank you Rogerguppy,

ah yes Badeye is right  ? I just might have to figure that one ?.

Roger you old smoothy - well done. Not only a good form to apoligize but a damn fine song to boot!

Re: "Sorry Old Doll"

Thank you,

After recieving a private message from the charming Lena I now know that I am forgiven so I can once again sleep easy at nights.

As for the song Lena , I have given it to you, so it is yours to do with what you like. (I will re-record it later when I have shaken off this cold and get rid of the glitch at the end of the intro).
