[Em] Profiled victims ,yealives thatmattered
Dreams they hoped for now have been shattered

While [Em] witnesses suffer from broken hearts

oh [Em]the crowds are angry and the tension'shigh
Everybody is blaming the other side

[Em]Protesters marching and mama’scrying
[B7] Give usjustice, don’t turn a blind eye
[Em]another ugly slice of [B7]American[Em]Pie
Chorus
[Am] stand up, stand up, do what’s right
[Em]Don’t get blinded by media lights
[Am]Stand together, both Black and White
[Em] Stand together, both Leftand Right
[B7] Let your conscience sleep good tonight
[Em]stand up, stand up,and[B7]do what’s [Em]right
[Em]St.Paul,Baton Rouge, Dallas, San Antone
what the hell is going on ?
[Am]Police being shot , battle lines being drawn
Oh[Em]innocent bloodshed goes on and on
[B7]Politicans’ promises,pundit lies

Badeye,
Great choice of JB Hutto !!
That was excellent. As I watched that i could not help but think of what physical shape drummers have to be in to perform like that . It must be unbelievable to do an entire concert ( like 3 hours) and actually the guitarists as well.
They were just having so much fun performing that !!! Something I have always wished I could've done.
Just keep these great videos coming - I look forward to them every week !!

Ok
Here is my version of Dylan's Knocking on Heaven's Door
I added a verse that I wrote b/c I thought there was more to the song than just getting old and not being able to draw fast anymore.
Hope you like it. https://soundcloud.com/tigljk/knocking- … door-cover

Re: friday's blues fix (1,560 replies, posted in Bands and artists)
Badeye,
That was very good.
What I enjoy most about your finds is that along side are links to lots of others that I would never find by myself.
Everybody - check this one out that I found after watching Little Milton.........
What an all star collection !! Holy crap would I have loved to been at that concert.
It includes Phil Collins, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Albert King, Paul Butterfield, BB King, Eric Clapton, Dr. John, and a host of special guest singers
It's worth the watch... thanks for the opportunity Badeye to find this!

I love it... it's the best music when musicians are just starting out...everything is from the heart and not for money.

I didn't mean to sound like I was complaining, I was just messing around with it and came up with that verse. I don't even play it very well yet but it is one of my favs to listen to. Hope everyone has fun with these songs

Re: August 2016 FSOM: Knockin on Heaven's Door -and- Six Strings Down (49 replies, posted in Featured Song of the Month)
Ok...
Since no one has taken the bait for the song I chose, I'm adding another verse to end it !
I thought maybe if it was more personal, it would attract a player or two.
I tried to fit as many in as I could, please don't be offended if you got left out - I left myself out too!
here's the additional lyric.....
[G] Amy, Phill , and Roger [C] Joey , Dino too
[G]Mojo,Graham, n' Badeye [C] playing the blues
[G] Beamer,Doug, [G7]Zurf and [C]Strummerboy [C7]Bill
[C] Jan ,Pete, BGD, and [C7]Uncle [C] Joe
[G] TF, Ed, n’ Russell, ain’t [D] quite ready to[G] go
Lord, wait to [D] call these blues stringers back [G]home
[G]yeah, wait to [D] call these blues stringers back [G]home
Lord, wait to [D] call another blues stringer back [G]home
Lord, wait to [D] call a Chordie stringer back [G]home
Lord, wait to [D] call a Chordie stringer back [G]home
Hope you like it.....

Re: Copperhead Road Guitalele cover (3 replies, posted in Bands and artists)
That's a way cool instrument there Graham - you play it so well.
Steve Earle and his son Justin Townes Earle are two of my favorite performers. Copperhead road is truly a classic.
Very nicely done.
