Topic: Not Of Me.

Here's our latest offering, there is a long story that goes with it....for another day...
You should be able to find this on our web site below shortly.

Not Of Me.Undefined


[Em] She had her story told on the [C] TV.


[B] 'Bout a bad man, I guess [Em] that was me.


[Em] I made her do lots of things that she [C] didn't want to do.


[B] But she said lots of things that were [Em] mostly untrue.




[Em] I took one night out. Lost night in a [C] drunken haze.


[B] Then she didn't talk to me for [Em] days and days.


I didn't do anything that I [C] shouldn't have done.


[B] 'Cept sitting in a bar with my [Em] friends getting drunk.




(CHORUS)




[C] She was [D] looking for a [G] different kinda [Bm] man.


[C] To comfort her [D] sorrow and [G] hold her [Em] hand.


[C] To always [D] be there for her, [G] in her time of [Gdim] need.


[Em] To think of [D] her and not of [G] me.-[B7]




[Em] Love never comes to you with [C] strings attached.


[B] It's given free, there [Em] ain't no catch.



Free like the birds up [C] in the sky.


[B] Free like the wind on a [Em] summers night.


(CHORUS)




[Em] To think of her and [C] not of myself.


[B] Forget the crazy man, lose my [Em] mental health.


I'm free like a bird up [C] in the sky.


[B] Free like the wind on a [Em] summers night.




(CHORUS) >SOLO > CHORUS X 2




(last time)


[Em] To think of [D] her and not of [G] me.-[C]


[Em] To think of [D] her and not of [G] me.-[C]


[Em] To think of [D] her and not of [G] me.

Re: Not Of Me.

Another good one Fellas !

I played this one thru before , you had it on your website. Thought I would give it a try and see how playing would compare to yours. This song plays well with an acoustic too.

Re: Not Of Me.

A big thank you Roger we have a system that seems  to work well with laying tracks and mixing but the most important is communication we seem to be on the same page thanks again for taking time to listen and comment smile

Great job on this one fellas!  Seriously, one would never ever think that these were done across the ocean!

Thanks Amy the age of electronics is a marvel converting the recorded signals to bits and beaming them to a satellite and reassembling them on the other side of the world sounds like star trek there are some advantages to living in the 21st century are you making progress with your project it takes time to get started I know till all the wrinkles are smoothed out smile

Re: Not Of Me.

That's true Russ, it does sound very sci-fi when you think about how this stuff is done!  Things are moving along slowly with my project... limited internet access from one project member smile  But no rush... just the idea of it is amazing, and here you and Phill are pulling these new collab's off right and left!

Re: Not Of Me.

Amy we have been working on other projects together before we got together and it just came about we seem to know what each other is looking for in a song and dont worry about time when it comes to your project its better to do it well the first time smile

Re: Not Of Me.

Hi folks,

sorry I haven't been around for a while, work at the moment is very demanding of my time. Thanks for all your great comments, and a big thanks to Russ for his encouragement, help and participation in this and all our collabs!

We do seem to be able to get what the other is wanting, with this one all I did was send Russ the 2 verses I had and asked him to come up with a chorus, bridge and riff....easy?

What Russ sent me back (my `puters playing up so we've got no video or chat at the moment) set my creative juices flowing and I came up with the last verse. By the by, I only sent Russ chord symbols no music, so it just goes to show how much we are "on the same page".

I'm looking forward to our next project.

Thanks again for your time and encouragement

Phill
