Topic: Evolution

Something   a  bit  different  now  from what  I've  been posting ,Wrote  this  for  the band  as  a  loose  blues  jam that  we  can  improvise  over  Its a bit  of  a  funky  Hendrixesque  thing .

Evolution – Revolution
Graham Windle
©30/08/2014 all rights reserved

Bass walk up E to A through out
E7#9 funky Hendrix type rhythm

Sittin here waitin for some action
on my own cant get no reaction
don’t know why theres no satisfaction
might as well go join another faction

Chorus x2
Ad lib using these phrases

You cant see just what’s in store
you cant see the future
you cant see what’s in store
might be revolution
might be evolution

From the south there’s a warm wind blowin
in the north I bet that its snowing
in the mountains there’s a dark cloud growing
in the valley, rivers overflowing.

Chorus x2

Ad lib using these phrases

You cant see just what’s in store
you cant see the future
you cant see what’s in store
might be revolution
might be evolution

I keep on talkin but you don’t hear me
Tho my words all come out clearly
now and again you just say really
pay some attention then you can feel me

Chorus x2 solo and  ad lib

Great job Graham, I too can hear this with a funky blues feel. Another solid song from you. Very nice!

Re: Evolution

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

Re: Evolution

Sort of a throw back to the 60's kind of song...
But the lyrics I guess are timeless.
