Phill even band gigs are getting hard as I find most of the sound depends on me to set up ,sure the rest of the band help with the gear and the pull down at the end ,but we could really use some roadies and a sound engineer like we had in Greece.Sadly this current band doesn't earn enough for that.

It's my lung conditions really Phill ,but covid has made it worse .I've had to cancel all my solo stuff .After I did the festivals at Lancaster and Kendal I knew it was time to stop .I may still do the odd open Mic song but no more full sets .I can still play with Ronnie and The Rockits for the foreseeable future and maybe do the odd studio track

If I was covering this song Phill I think I would give it a bit of a Reggae feel . However as i said in my Xmas song post my voice is pretty bad these days so the chances of doing any thing is getting less and less . Great lyrics Phill and a good recording . well played and well sung .

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

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

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~
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
