Topic: Frantic

Wrote this  for  Cindy Scholl  the  great  flautist who  I  often play  with  something  to  try  while I'm in the UK  never  penned  a  reggae tune  before but  as  she  had  me  playing Bob Marley  most  of  last  year  I  thought  I  should  try ..

A                                        Em
You cant  tell me its the way  you planned it
                                      A
you cant  tell me that  you understand it
                                        D
you cant  tell me  that the Martians landed
         A                     E                                      A     
Are the  answers  to  my  questions gonna make you frantic

A                                   Em
You cant show me how it is to  be  famous
                                             A
You might  tell me that  the  journey is painless
                                D
You might ask me to swim the Atlantic
         A                  E                                     A
But  the answers to my  questions gonna make you frantic

Bridge
E
Time and time and time again
D
I search for things I cant explain
E
An autograph, a photograph,
D
A thousand things that make you laugh
E
The leaves that fall beside a stream
D
Your always on the winning team
F#
I close my eyes and count to ten
E
Ihen every things the same again

E.....

Re: Frantic

Pretty good buddy.

You can see all my video covers on [url]http://www.youtube.com/bensonp1000[/url]
I have finally found happiness in my life.  Guitars, singing, beer and camping.  And they all intertwine wonderfully.

Re: Frantic

That's good stuff, Graham ... well done indeed! Don't be too hard on yourself about your singing voice. Personally, I think it suits the song quite well.
