Topic: Single for the Night- a new song from me.

Single for the Night by Shady Wilbury


Country style- works best played quickly!






Sin[D]gle for the ni[G]ght, please,


I ne[D]ed somewhere to sle[A]ep


I’ve a pock[D]etful of change and mem[G]’ries


I[D]’d not like to ke[A]ep


For[D]give me, babe


I ne[Em]ver meant to d[G]o you any wr[D]ong


And gi[Em]ven time, I ho[G]pe you’ll fi[D]nd


With y[Em]ou’s where I be[G]long


I’[D]m off to make some ch[Em]anges,


To fi[G]nd out who I a[D]m


I’ll ma[Em]ke it right, reme[G]mber me,


And try to under[D]stand.


These mem’ries have been haunting




A long, long time this way





As if I’d ne’er forget them




I will, for sure, today




I’[D]m gone where they can’t fi[G]nd me




Where that i[D]s, I’ll never kn[A]ow,


I’ll pl[D]ay my part some[G]where else


In li[A]fe’s own trave[D]lling show


Your ey[Em]es, they taught me eve[C]rything


I’ll ever ne[Em]ed to kn[G]ow,


Your smi[Em]le just made the les[D]son more worth lear[Em]nin’



And a[G]s I leave my home[A]town,




I kn[D]ow I’ll never st[Em]op,




This bro[G]ken heart of mi[Em]ne from year[G]ning.


[Em]

Try this, and pleae give some feedback. The tune is very rough, as I just worked it out.

PS: The chords for the second verse are the same as the chords for verses one and three.

Re: Single for the Night- a new song from me.

Just  created a chorus. Chords to follow, but the lyrics are:

Forgive me babe
I never meant to do you any wrong
And given time, I hope you'll find
With you's where I belong
I'm off to make some changes
To find out who I am
I'll make it right, remember me, and try to understand.

....Badeye.

Thanks very much. Your comments mean a lot to me. (You write excellent  songs yourself.)

Hey, great song man!  I like it a lot!   I love songs with those sorts of progressions (D,G, and A)

Re: Single for the Night- a new song from me.

Thank you for the kind words Will. I had the day off yesterday due to the rain and I tried your song five or six times, I like it a lot. Matter of fact I "Badeyed' quite a lot of songs from the songwriting forum. Gotta like rain days. Gives me the whole day to play guitar. Thanks again Will and have a good day.

...Badeye.

Actually, I sort of pinched it from you. I got the idea after seeing your latest song. Sorry.

It's cool with me...Hey, that made my day knowing i incidentally helped someone out by writing a song!

Hello Shady Wilbery - excellent snapshot!  The chorus definately helps to round out the image and provides context.  Don't have time right now to play it, but will give and good thrash & howl soon.  James

Hi Shady Wilbury,

Definitely like this and the chord progression flows. Looking forward to seeing the chords for the chorus and then maybe we can persuade you to record it so we can hear the way you intend it to be.

Thank you,

Roger

Re: Single for the Night- a new song from me.

Chords to chorus added. I might need to re-edit those, because I don't have time to play it through now.

Re: Single for the Night- a new song from me.

Hello everybody - we will have a new participant in the songwriting forum soon.  Blue blue has asked for help in getting the song above posted.

I have sent instructions and hope that the song will appear in it's own thread soon.  Am also curious to learn what language it is and what it says because so far the only thing I understand are the chords!   James

Re: Single for the Night- a new song from me.

I don't mind at all. I'm pleased you managed to find the country in it....all the folks I've played it to so far (two people, mind...) say it's folk. big_smile
