I vote for Graham's song as well . 
I probably wouldn't be able to  give it a go   as my voice is completely shot from Basketball games and practice right now. However, I think it is a classic  - great lyrics. I would look forward to hearing renditions from all of the real musicians on chordie. 

Speaking of good musicians- anyone heard from Kim Noble? She did a nice rendition of one of my songs and I know she was working on someone else's...but   I have not seen anything from her lately.

anyway - my vote for Cloak of Invisibility

Thanks Bill and Jan
Life gets in the way sometimes -   once in a while it gets difficult not to argue or blame..... but if there is love, you can find a way to get through it together.

Probably not the greatest song, but just what I was feeling on Sunday morning.
I appreciate the comments.

Some good research there Bill.  Interesting stuff !
Thanks for Sharing

Hey Chordians...

I was just thinking tonight --- haven't heard from Graham lately.   
Hope all is well and he is enjoying a beautiful vacation on a secluded tropical island!

Washington is a very good JV team playing an Alabama Varsity that is superb.   However- it is a game and anything can happen, just not likely.

I do agree with Jerome though that Clemson will get smashed by the Buckeyes.... they are too undisciplined.

Phill,

I think you should record this with the band "Limp Biscuit" as your back up ! smile   smile   smile

Great song by the way - too bad it's so "dead balls"  accurate ! (Pun intended!) smile
Thanks for sharing - waiting for a great rendition.

This is just a song for all the people who are married and know how tough and busy life gets - and how taxing it can be on relationships. Hope you like it !

Jets

Thanks for your effort - I appreciate it.

But what I was actually looking to get was to have it listed on chordie so I can save it  in my songbook.
Thanks again Jets - at least it is a start for me.

Roger

That was awesome. Thanks for doing that.   
I liked the way you ended it in particular.  Quite unique and different than what I did.
Your voice sounds great - wish I had that ability.

and I must say - as I was listening to it on soundcloud, I envisioned your cat ......the one in the picture...... kinda singing it too - like -   "can't wait for Roger to get home today !!"  smile beautiful creature
Thanks again

Good one Badeye - enjoyed  the song

Bill - Van the Man - he is one of my favorites.  I couldn't find it - but if I could - I would've linked to the song " wavelength"  by Morrison.  best listened too with headphones, and abit of wine or hemp. smile

Vince Gill is fabulous.  Great story there too.   Did you notice that the guitar must be one of his fav's   it has so many nicks and scratches, but plays like a dream.   That is the guitar that is up next on my wish list - a telecaster.

Thanks for sharing Badeye..... awesome .... you struck gold again!

I wrote this Song four years ago , put it on Chordie, and kinda forgot about it.  I was playing it this morning - tweaked it a bit - made a couple lyric changes.

It is a real easy song to play chord wise, but for me the difficulty of course comes from the vocal perspective.  If any of you out there with the golden voices want to give it a stab - I'd love to her your covers.

here it is

{t:Christmas Spirit:Wish You Were Here}

[G] Christmas Spirit’s on my [Am]  mind again
[D] Presents to buy and [G]cards to send
[G]I've fought the crowds and  I've[Am]walked the malls
[D] I put up the tree and I’ve [G]decked the halls

[G] It’s Christmastime  and your[Am] not around
[D]Got me feeling  just a[G] little down
[G]The miles between us keep us[Am] far apart
[D] But just like Christmas you’re[G] in my heart

Chorus   
[C] Wish you were here so [G] I could say
[D ] How much I miss  you each and [G] every day
[C] Wish you were here so [G]our hearts could touch
[D] And I could tell you that I [C] love you so [G] much


[G]There’s Holly and mistletoe  [Am] all around
[D] Christmas carols, what  a [G]beautiful sound
[G] glistening snow and [Am]reindeer paws
[D]Children looking  out for 'ol [G]Santa   Claus

[G] Angels said Christmas was a [Am]time to  rejoice, it'd
[D] Sure  make me happy just to [G]hear  your voice
[G]Plenty  of presents under [Am] neath the tree, but
[D]  the one I want most brings you[G]home to me

Chorus    (2x)
[C] Wish you were here  so [G] I could say
[D ] How much I miss  you each and [G] every day
[C] Wish you were here so [G]our hearts could touch
[D] And I could tell you that I [C] love you so [G] much
