Topic: `Respect The Musician`bucks

I`ll have a coffee thanks
Yeah i know it costs five bucks
I`ll have a beer thanks
Yeah i know it costs ten bucks
I really like the music here
But i expect that for free

Time to respect the musician
Put some money in his hat

He`s done his time
You only too happy
to pay for other things
beer food and wine

Time to respect the musician
He can`t live on love
Put some money in his hat

I`m sure some of u can relate to this, how about some chords eh?

Re: `Respect The Musician`bucks

I like the first portion of it as the main verses of the song... nice and easy and coffee shop feeling.  Will have to play around tomorrow a little when I've got some time on my hands.  I like it so far!

Art and beauty are in the eyes of the beholder.
What constitutes excellent music is in the ears of the listener.

Please if you have a potential song ie just lyrics without chords can you post them in the poem section as this is Chordie guidelines read stick at the top of the forum.
The songwriting forum is for completed songs and questions about songwriting in general.
