Hi dbernhar
I think this the first song written for the Uke on Chordie... I might be wrong it has been known
If you remove the brackets from the chords in the formating the the chord diagrams will not show.
They also will not be in blue not so pretty but less misleading...
Like to hear as jeff says....

Hey Dan, Lovely words there that I can relate to. I did have trouble with the chords. Reminds me of some of the piano tunes that have been converted to guitar that I can never figure out (I'm partial to Leon Russell and Michael Franks). If you get the chance to record this I would sure like to hear how it goes.

Socrates Music and Lyrics by Dan Bernhardt

4/4, dark swing, for ukelele. The chords are gonna sound weird in guitar format, does anyone know how to manually override the chord creation system? Thanks for the feedback everyone

[Cmaj7] [B7sus4] [D9] [B7sus4] [Esus4] [A7sus2] [B7]

“Life goes on,� she says, and pours the cream into a cup of java

“Sometimes life is short, and sometimes life can burn,

that much is for certain.�

It breaks her heart to hear the minor chords

And separated tones

It doesn’t matter how they heal, a scar’s a scar is still a scar

It’s so hard

[A7sus2] [B7+5] [G add9] [A7] [Am] [E add4]

[A7sus2] [B7 +5] [G add9] [A7] [Am] [Bm] [D]

And in the night,

The pale moonlight casts’ shadows on the shore

Ghosts appear

Like smoke from burnt out cigarettes,

They burn…

Life’s like bittersweet, life’s a dash of nightshade in your tea

(a deadly tease)

and fate’s the wine that paralyzed the mind of brilliant Socrates

(Lord please…)

Take the time,

Remind me please of sunny southern skies

And lullabys

Don’t condemn

The good for being bad, you know

The rain must fall but it soaks into the ground

Where love is found
