Thanks Jan - I've tried several ways to record without the echo - have you tried the online software yet? I couldn't get it to work. It would open up a lot of possibilities.

Really good Marian, like the version without the echo, the single voice version

Thank you, Jandle. I see I didn't read thoroughly enough at the beginning. On my way to the Cloud now.

Bill

Did I miss any descriptions?

I like the lyrics so much! Now I'd like to hear the finished product!

All the best

Marian's Lament - No Song for Marian
4/4 time

Intro: [Eb] dDUdd -slide- [Cm] -slide- [Eb] x 2
               
[Eb] I guess I was a [Ebmaj7] beauti-[Eb7]ful [Ab] baby
And [Eb] now I'm a [Ebmaj7] mighty [Eb7] fine [Ab] lady
But I [Fm7] must be doing something [Fdim7] wrong  (shimmy)
'Cause [F7] no-one's ever [G7*] written me a [Eb] song  (sli-ide) [Cm] [Eb]
                                 
I [Eb] broke my share of [Ebmaj7] hearts a-[Eb7]long the [Ab] way
But [Eb] no-one seemed to [Ebmaj7] care e-[E7]nough to [Ab] say
So I [Fm7] haven't got a song that's [Fdim7] mine  (shimmy)
[F7] No-one's even [G7*] written me a lousy [Eb] rhyme  (sli-ide) [Cm] [Eb]
       
I [Eb] wasn't mean; I [Ebmaj7] did no-[Eb7]body [Ab] wrong
If I [Eb] did, may-[Ebmaj7]be they'd [Eb7] write me a [Ab] song
I [Fm7] tried to develop an air of myste-[Fdim7]ry  (shimmy)
But [F7] what you get is [G7*] what you [Eb] see  (sli-ide) [Cm] - to [D]
       
There's [D] songs for [Dmaj7] Annie, [D7] Suky and [G] Daisy
[D] Alice, Pearl, [Dmaj7] Donna - it [D7] drives me [G] crazy
I [Em7] should have worn chantilly [Edim7] lace  (shimmy)
Or [E7] had a more [F#7] angelic [D] face  (sli-ide) [Gmaj7] [D]
     
** I [D] didn't mooch a-[Dmaj7]round like [D7] poor old [G] Minnie
And Ka-[D]tie wouldn't [Dmaj7] teach [D7] me to [G] 
I [Em7] robbed no banks with a boy named [Edim7] Clyde  (shimmy)
No [E7] faithless man died [F#7] by my [D] side  (sli-ide) [Gmaj7] [D]

I'm not [D] called Rhonda, [Dmaj7] Lucy or [D7] Peggy [G] Sue
Not [D] Georgy or [Dmaj7] Frankie, and it's [D7] making me [G] blue
[Em7] All I want is just one [Edim7] song  (shimmy)
It [E7] doesn't have to [F#7] be all that [D] long  (sli-ide) [Gmaj7] [D]

There's [D] songs about sweet [Dmaj7] Georgia and [D7] Cleman-[G]tine
But [D] I don't [Dmaj7] have a [D7] song to call [G] mine
[Em7] Leonard wrote for Marianne, with a double-n-[Edim7]-e  (shimmy)
I'm [E7] tired of pretending he [F#7] sang it for [D] me  (sli-ide) [Gmaj7] - to [Eb]

(soft strum through) Won't [Eb] someone [Ebmaj7] end my [Eb7] mise-[Ab]ry?
And [Eb] write an [Ebmaj7] itty bitty [Eb7] song about [Ab] me?. .
Even [Fm7] Prudence and Grizelda have their own melo-[Fdim7]dy (shimmy)
Oh, won't some-[F7]body write a [G7] song about [Eb] me - I really mean it!
(DDDD) [F7] Won't somebody write a [G7] song about [Eb] me-e-e-e (slide-slide)
