Just got the chance to hear it. Big thumbs up my friend. Now here's a remedy that might help...
Pint of water
Tea spoon of salt
Teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda
Teaspoon of sugar, don't worry you don't swallow it!
Gargle several times a day and suck a jakemans in-between.

I know you've said it's your lungs not your throat but give it a try. And rest your voice as much as you can.

Christ mass has very little to do with religion any more, it's all to do with the rich man's profits.

Thanks for the nice comments guys.I always try to write something for Xmas which brings out what the true sentiments should be about. I do feel there is too much hype about Xmas and it has become a marketing platform for the big corporations.I'm not in any way religious so this isn't that sort of a post ,I just think we all should help each other and care not just at Xmas but all the time. I'll put my soap box away now and thank every one once again for listening Cheers G

Graham
I agree with Peatle - quite moving - strong lyrics. Really cool and seriously " on point" song !
Happens all over the world every day ! Well done Graham !
I also like the way the title leads you to mix her name and the common " Carol" songs @ Christmas - quite clever my friend!

Nicely performed - your voice in that shape is 100x better than mine at full
use.

Xmas Carol a song for the homeless

Am G Am~
Carol lived in a box . Down near the market square
Am G Am~
No one knows from where she came or how that she got there
Am G Am~
in the door way of an empty shop , that's where she often sleeps
G D Am~
with a couple of plastic bags ,full of the precious things she keeps

F G Am~
There wont be Christmas cheer for Carol
F G Am~
No Turkey Dinner or Roast spuds
F G Am~
No Christmas presents in her stockings
G F G Am~
Just another day of begging on the streets for scraps of peoples food

Am G Am~
Some people say she was a rich girl,mixed up with aristocracy
Am G Am~
Never had a bad word for the new King ,still respects the power of monarchy
Am G Am~
used to go to parties at the palace, used to dress in ermine and in pearls
G D F G Am~
mixed with all the well to do and wealthy ,was the envy of the other girls

Am G Am~
They found her on one morning in December ,lying on the cold and frozen ground
Am G Am~
Her precious plastic bags had all been emptied , This is what the papers say they found

F G Am~
A picture of a mother with a baby
F G Am~
A picture of a man who went to war
F G Am~
A locket with a golden curl inside it
G D Am~
Not a sign of ermine or of pearls

F G Am~
A hand written letter from her lover
F G Am~
A letter with a printed Royal seal
F G Am~
Condolence from the British Royal family
G D Am~
The truth about her life was now revealed

F G Am~
There wont be Christmas cheer for Carol
F G Am~
No Turkey Dinner or Roast spuds
F G Am~
No Christmas presents in her stockings
G F G Am~
No more days of begging on the streets for scraps of peoples food
