Topic: Dang, That There's Sharp

I was up early and goofing around with some rock-a-billy chords, and thought of some words that might go with them ... just for fun. This may be a song one day, but it's a poem for now:

DANG, THAT THERE'S SHARP

'Member that guitar in the window …
'Member thinking I should have one …
'Member wondering what it would cost …
'Member frowning at the price …
'Member looking for a bargain …
'Member hoping for a deal …
'Member wishing I could own one …
'Member thinking … dang, that there's sharp.

'Member plugging it in that first time …
'Member it gliding through the wood …
'Member smiling at my own work …
'Member it working like it should …
'Member looking away for a moment …
'Member the pain in my hand …
'Member wishing I'd been careful …
'Member thinking … dang, that there's sharp.

'Member the first time I sang it …
'Member noticing the frowns …
'Member it not sounding right …
'Member it hurting my own ears …
'Member how I might get better …
'Member what I might do …
'Member wincing at my bad notes …
'Member thinking … dang, that there's sharp.

'Member the first time I saw her …
'Member the tummy flips inside …
'Member the pulse rate increasing …
'Member the losing sense of time …
'Member the first time we spoke …
'Member the first time we kissed …
'Member loving her for ever …
'Member thinking … dang, that there's sharp.

If anyone wants to have a go at it, please be my guest.

Re: Dang, That There's Sharp

i'm with you all the way. i laughed out loud because i know exactly where you're coming from, power tools of the first and second verses. the songs of the third and the fatal addiction of love in the fourth. this is a winner.

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

Clever beyond  words... I absolutely love it.  If I could sing or play worth a crap I 'd do it in a second.

Thanks for sharing this cool stuff!!

PS - Why don't you do a cover of it, it's your song - I'd like to hear it as it comes out of your head and mouth.

Re: Dang, That There's Sharp

I can relate to the first  time feelings your words convey love to hear it as a song.
