Topic: "Self Respect Blues"

Here is a sort of preachy little slow blues thing:

Self Respect BluesJames McCormick, August 4, 2007


12-bar blues


[G]I don't wanna hear it, don't [G]matter what you say


[G]Talkin' won't do nothin' to make your [G7]problems go away


You've [C]made a mess of everything, [C]tryin' to deceive


De-[G]nials, lies, falsehoods a [G]tangled web will weave


Your a-[D7]pologies and tears are insin-[C7]cere I do suspect


I'm [G]tired of your drama, go find some self re-[D7]spect





[G]Truth is very precious, [G]honesty the key


[G]Lies won't get you anyplace you [G7]really wanna be


[C]Dignity is earned not [C]bartered for with bribes


[G]Everything tastes bitter when you've [G]sacrificed your pride


Re-[D7]ality will get you for [C7]debts it must collect


I'm [G]tired of this drama, go [D7]find some self re-[G]spect

Re: "Self Respect Blues"

James, I have a big problem. I was busy playing Gloria Gaynor's smash hit "I will survive", but, exactly knowing how to play this song, I turned with all the same chords and lyrics into a ballad. This morning, I was more sentimental as usual, I started to play on 1 string (little E) followed by the same pattern on the B-chord: I wrote a topic. It, and I hate this, is a real gem, but in an early phase, no real strophe, not a bridge or refrein, but I don't know how to put this "start" on the web, see my topic. I loved to share this, where do you find tabs, because I started on E 2th fret, up to 3th, than b string 2 up to 3th fret and back, followed by D. Where can I find a site to put these things on chordie?
Thanks James
