I do not know if I dare admit this but what the heck, "Home On The Range".

In my own defence though it was the first song in the song book that came with my Elvis Presley, 4 string, plastic guitar that had an 'Autochord' (a plastic box that strapped on the fingerboard) with buttons to press to play the chords. It was also the fist one I played properly when the autochord broke.

Hi Jeremy,

I was about 17 when I joined my first group (band) and we had a guy (David Payne) who was probably the best drummer in the area. He would do a 10 to 15 minute drum solo at least twice during the evening which was great. It gave me time to get off the stage, find the prettiest girl in the room, and have a dance (jive in those days) and with luck arrange a date.

I have always appreciated a good drummer.

Welcome to Chordie,

Hello Beniteau,

Welcome to Chordie but I am sorry to inform you that Chordie hosts no songs other than the original ones wriitten by our Members in the Songwriting section. There are various legal reasons for this and Chordie is a search engine to find songs that are already on the Internet.

However if you look in the resources section and questions and answers you will find further information on how to upload songs elswhere and get them recognised and shown in the Chordie index.

By the way songs are normally posted in the Chopro format and information on using it is in James McCormick's 'sticky' at the start of the Songwriting section.

Hello Cindy,

Welcome to Chordie and you are allowed to print songs from here. There is a print icon halfway down the right hand side of the page and clicking on that should do the trick. If you are still having difficulty please write again with an explanation of what is happening.

Take care,

Roger

A couple of years ago, well maybe 50 years ago, when I was a boy soprano I was to sing a solo at the school concert.

The rehersals all went very well and the big day came I was in the middle of the school choir singing my socks off and then came time for my solo. Everyone stood aside and the spotlights came on me. Suddenly I was terrified, my mouth went dry, my heart went into overdrive and I was shaking like a leaf. I wanted the ground to open up and swallow me.

I thought then that I must not let Mrs Bell (my music teacher) or my parents down and that I would look a bigger fool if I did not do it than if I did it badly so I went for it. I made it though and although everyone said it was great it destroyed my self confidence and it was years before I was able to perform in public again.

OK I'll spill the beans. I cheated.

I think it was Deirdre Cartwright, but I may well be wrong.

Hello Corey and welcome to Chordie.

The 'o' means you play the string open and the 'x' means that you do not play it at all.

Hope that helps.

Take care,

Roger

Hi Ark,

As Dreamer said this is a beautiful song. I particularly like the G, Asus4, A, D sequence in the last line.

Thank you for sharing,

Roger

Hi Jeff,

I must be going through a 'rock' phase at the moment as that is how I played this. Quite fast, heavy and with muting to emphasise the beat. A happy song that I enjoyed playing.

Thank you,

Roger
