hi bill, here's a more romantic feel;
[C] [Cmaj7]
If sunshine were mine,
[Am] [Em]
I'd give it to you.
[Fmaj7] [D7]
If moonshine were wine,
[G7]
I'd pour it for you.
[C] [E] [Am]
If lovin` you honey was all I could do.
[Fmaj7] [G6] [C]
I'd do it, I'd do it for you.
That would make a nice addition to the other strings section.
the pic looks lefty? nice looking guitar. i've only got 6 and honestly only play 3. i strum the strat and the fender f90 on occasion and the 12er very rarely (i think i put too heavy a gauge set on) the other one don't come into it....cheapy garbage.
but i do have a ton of stuff that i aught to get rid of which after i die the wife will have a nightmare selling or dumping....if she does i'll haunt her. i've still got my korg d8 which should be being used!
but i know how you feel i cant pass a music or flog shop with guitars on show without going in and looking around. i don't buy as my wife has sewn up my pockets and i've got piranha moths in my wallet.... there goes another finger 
that's more like "glamping" than camping
hi bill long time no see. if i took a selfie i'd bust the camera, so i'll spare you that
hi beestie, just had a listen and it's good. IMHO a little faster with a stronger rhythm, i played it on the guitar and enjoyed and had a laugh too.
well done.

oh boy, one night stands. in all honesty, i never liked them, haven't listened yet but i will when i've got a minute. you've strung the words together like a pro, and of course this is all too familiar subject to us older folks.
i love the last line where you've changed the obvious rhyme to "kiss". your humour is not lost on me my friend. keep em coming.
phill
sorry for the Bminors
| )hi guys, thanks for the listen.
jim, you're right on the money. i know several guys that have gone to thailand for a holiday and come back with a wife. not all of them play around or dump their saviour but some do. i also (for some unknown reason) get emails asking if i'd be interested in a eastern european girlfriend! yeah right, at my age, i think not 
it could also pertain to money for marriage as beestie suggests. i'll have to put the words up maybe they'll explain it better.
hi TF, i did it (mostly) in one go, guitar and vocal minutes after finishing the write so there are a few bum notes and fluffed chords. electric piano, strings and voices were an afterthought. i didn't realise it was 5 1/2 minutes long till after i'd finished!
thanks EB, it felt like it could do with a bit of wellie 
It would be appreciated if you'd give this a listen then tell me what you think it's about, just follow the link...TA
hi TF,
it was obvious (to me anyway) been there, done that! i play every weekend but don't do any of my own songs. i record backing tracks for other peoples songs and play them each time, some more than others, but the thought of belting out one of my own tunes puts the fear of god into me.
i think that people that read the poems/songs that we put up here think that it's so easy just to chuck them up. so they just look through without realizing how we're baring our souls by doing so for the entertainment and edification of others. they need to realize that if it wasn't for people like us there would be no music, no poetry, no art....nothing and all our lives would be so much sadder.
anyway, sermon over. as you can see your poem struck a chord with me, and as you've laid it out like a song i suspect you may record it? if so i'd love to hear it.
well done.
phill
hey jim nice to hear from you. they cant jail this AH as he did the decent thing and killed himself in a car accident, unfortunately his new girlfriend was also in the car with a broken arm he gave her...she died with him. sad for her.
touching words. it's such a shame that those people that risked their lives and came home missing limbs or just wounded in one way or another are not worshipped as the heros they deserve to be.
i know your song is about US vets, but we have much the same stuff happening here. we have druggies and alcoholics getting money thrown at them by the government and our vets have to fight for every penny. good work enjoyed the recording.
hi TF, ditto. my old man liked a drink or two on occasion, but never raised a hand to my mam with that same litany; men don't hit women ringing in my ears.
so when i separated from the witch (my ex) i met several young ladies that had been through the violence and to be honest i just couldn't believe their stories, same as my wifes.
when my oldest son told his story of seeing his birth father (as he calls him, amongst other things) hammering his mother it made a great impression on me which is probably why this came about.
hi grah, i cant imagine how much seeing things like that affected your wife. i get the feeling that sometimes third parties feel the pain more and the effects longer.
My wife's ex was a wife beater and she got punished regularly. Our 2 oldest kids (my step sons) saw all that happened and idolise me as I (in their words) treat her and them so well. this is about him in part and some from stories I've heard and some just fiction, but it's a subject I feel strongly about.
My Fate. Phill Williams.
She takes off my shoes, massages my feet.
She runs my hot bath, prepares my late meal.
She lays out my clothes, all clean and well pressed.
I'm off to the pub. "I might be quite late".
She asks “can I come?” I say “yeah, to drop me off.
I'll give you a ring when I'm right to come home.”
She's there right on time `cos she knows if she's late.
There'll be trouble again if she makes me wait.
Suspicions maybe; bruises she hides.
She's ashamed of the fact that her husband's a swine.
I'm good with my hands on her arms and her legs.
Her back and her ribs but never her face.
Why do I do it? Yes I've asked it myself.
This wonderful woman I've put her through hell.
But she takes all the beatings, the verbal abuse.
And I blame it on her.
She deserves more than this.
She's an old fashioned woman, it's how she grew up.
Her mother got beaten, her father was tough.
And I saw the same Friday night after pay.
When the old man came home drunk with fists flying free.
Haven't I learned after all that I've seen?
My mother died young with a clot in her brain.
They locked up my father, it happened too late.
Why can't I stop the cycle? Or will this be my fate?
i thought it was a song and i got the same impression as bill with the slow down and speak the first 2 lines of each verse. i've got 4 grown up kids so i know your dilemma so all i can say is; they all raise a smile, some as they come in and some as they go out...nuff said i think. want to hear how you musicise it
sounds natural to me....
i agree with TF as i read it as a song. sounds like every woman i've ever known

Keep, not often people get a title!
i've had a few but none i could repeat here due to swearing rules which i support and maintain.
i had no time to think up and write a witty retort but now i have, so.....
lay back and take it like a man.
not very witty but it's the best i could come up with on short notice
KEEP
if you can make it to wales you'll be very welcome
don't you dare shut your gob as we say over here. if there isnt someone willing and able to ask or answer questions, this forum dies and none of us want that.
we've all done stuff we regret. angels are just a figment of someones imagination like fairies and good politicians. it's not what you've done it's what you do.
oooh, now that's a hard one 
when your fingers get stiff you have to give up playing....you can guess the rest, right?
i wouldn't want to give up either. i'll probably be buried with with my dear wife Ann but which guitar? i'll have to die first so she can decide
when i was around 6 or 7, we used to play a game called "best falling dead" ridiculous now when i think about it, but i guess it had to do with all the cowboy/war/gangster movies we used to watch. it was harmless because you'd see a fella die in one film then there he was in another film!
this has nothing to do with IS al-qaida or any of those other murderous, power hungry, megalomaniacs and their so easily duped followers. i just cant imagine looking at this beautiful world from 6 feet up then suddenly the last thing i see is the same thing from ground level just before the lights go out permanently.
i have to ask myself how the human race is still here after the likes of hitler, pol pot, the romans, the spanish inquisition, and all the massacres of prehistory.
if there is a God (and i'm sorry i find it harder to believe there is one) i hope that those sub-humans burn in hell and not enjoying paradise and all those virgins like they're promised.
by the way, very good work ark and you've done a good piece of work too grah
Bill, I've been reading this and the other threads above and I have to say that I have such great admiration for you. Dealing with your problems and having such a colourful past, kudos with knobs on. I love chocolate and it tastes so much better than bat guano. 
iechyd dda a pob hwyl. (Welsh for; good health and every happiness)
