I wasn't going to put this up till I read Jeff's new song. It's about an event that happened nearly 30 years ago, which I wrote about last week!

I Tried To Run AwayUndefined


[Bb]Once i tried to [F]run away


[Gm]I felt I'd lost the [Eb]fight


[Bb]I just wanted [F]to be free


Of the [Gm]sadness in my [Eb]life






My [Ab]heart was torn, my [Eb]dreams were sad


The [F]joy had gone for [Gm]what I had


[Bb]Once I tried to [F]run away


I [Eb]failed for that I'm [Bb]glad


The [Bb]more I tried to [F]stand up straight


The [Gm]more I fell [Eb]apart


For [Bb]all I tried to [F]block things out


The [Gm]more I heard my [Eb]heart


It [Ab]missed a beat, [Eb]it hurt me bad


The [F]joy had gone for [Gm]what I had


So [Bb]once I tried to [F]run away


I [Eb]failed for that I'm [Gm]glad


chorus


[Dm]You came you [G]followed me


You [C]said that I [Am]belong



With [Dm]someone who will [G]comfort me


As [C]you have all [Am]along




[F]So I stopped and I [G]thought a while


And [Ab]slowly I [Bb]began to smile


And [C]though I tried to [G]run away


I [F]never will a[C]gain




My [Bb]heart was torn my [F]dreams were sad


The [G]joy had gone for [Am]what I had


[C]Once I tried to [G]run away, I [F]failed for that I'm [C]glad


repeat chorus




[C]Thinking back I'm [G]lucky that


I [Am]never threw [F] [away


The C]one thing that has [G]kept me here


From [Am]then until this [F]day




I [Bb]feel so warm, the [F]fear has gone


I [G]know this love goes [Am]on and on


[C]Once tried to [G]run away


But [F]who knows where I'd [C]gone?

hi apedoctor,

you been auditioning for x factor? this reads like a rejection on the faces of all those sad misbegotten souls who are humiliated by the judges and ultimately by themselves.

strange chord sequence, good for barre excersises but to know exactly how you meant it to sound you should put it onto your own myspace page. please do, and let us know when it's there

great idea roger, wish i'd known about it...i could tell who wrote each verse and the recording with most of the contributors works well.

well done chordians

to eveyone

i've just listened to russ's tracks, and i can highly recommend them, they are very biblical, and deal with Jesus and his disciples so if your very anti Christian listen to the songs as songs not as holy music. i'm not that religious and i enjoyed them!

go to the website not the mediafire link below...enjoy

Hi Stonebridge,

I usually use my "pinky" for the high E, with my ring finger holding down the B string on the 3rd fret, especially on The Eagles "Take It Easy" sounds nice, I was shown it by a guy called John Rodge in Llanelli in 1968 who was showing me variations on certain chords, he tried to teach me to play properly but failed, I'm still crap, ask Russ Harding!

I woke up Thursday morning and this was running round my head, so as the wife was out I wrote it down quickly and recorded it roughly, thing is after recording it I've changed some of the words!

Any way it's called Old Black Car, and it's about those annoying people who insist on parking out side your house taking up 2 spaces so you've got no room to park...it's a British thing!

BACKING VOICES SINGING.."Ooh yeh ooh, ooh yeh" after each verse

Old Black CarUndefined


There's an [Am]old black car pulling [G]up out [D]side my [Am]home


There's some[Am]one inside but I [G]don't think [D]she's [D]alone


If she [C]don't go soon I'm gonna [E]ask her where she's [Am]going




REPEAT SAME CHORDS FOR EACH VERSE




Well the paint is scratched and the tyres are flat and worn


There's rust down the side and a there's hole in the door


If she don;t go soon I'm gonna ask her where she's been




Oh! driver, driver who's that in your car?


Clean the glass and move out of my yard


If you don't go soon I'm gonna ask you who you are






Chorus




I should [C]play the [B7]man don't [Am]act like Mrs Jones



[C]Move the curtains [B7]complaining all [Am]alone


[C]Grow some [B7]balls and tell them they must [Am]go


Or [G]maybe I'll just [D]wait another [Am]hour




Well the glass rolls down and I see someone inside


I can see her face and I can see she's got no pride


If she don't go soon I'm gonna ask her for a ride




"Well farmer boy" she says and calls me on


"Today's the day that you become a man"


if she don't go soon I'm gonna tell her "yes I am"




repeat chorus




There's an old black car moving down the road


There's someone inside but I don't think she's alone


And I don't know why but I'm so glad that she's gone.

hi again

i've just looked at myspace and it appears that where you were once allowed 6 songs, you can have only 5 now, so i deleted one to get rock god up. more appologies this time to helena and the irish nation... sorry i guess it's not an irish thing after all roll

hi helena,

yep your right it must be an irish thing, big_smile
conversely it can take a day to up load some songs [maybe longer in ireland?:D]  i'll check if it's there later, if not i'll upload again.

hi jeff,

nice to hear from you, how are you mate?
it's funny how just hearing someone playing a riff can get the juices flowing, i just hope russ likes what i've done to it.

felicitations russel,

as i've said to jeff above, i hope you like what i've done to your tune, i have not followed the melody line that you give on the video and i have no clue where the rock god bit came from, as i say i am just the scribe, where the words come from i can't tell

Dear Russel,

how long have you known me now? and you still don't get my sense of humour.

i wrote those words for the enjoyment i get from writing and taking part, i wasn't demanding money, specially not from you as i think of you as one of my best friends, and anything i can do for you i will...just ask. eg; if you want me to write some more words for you which will be an easy one! and an honour.

Pressing on...i've now uploaded "rock god" so anyone that wants to hear a country song done rock style have a look in myspace [web site on the left]

such tender words, you've hit the spot again. the best part is making up...i agree with that one whole heartedly, i love the feel of my wife's lips when we make up after an argument,not that i cause an argument just for that...i'm digging myself a hole here....


nice song, stay cool

ok, last one first;

daddycool, the world is full of wannabee's, i'm one, but i'm also realistic enough to know i'm too old now to be top of the pops. unfortunately, most x factor entrants don't realise it, all they want [even the good one's] is a fast lane to the top.

hi russ,  yeh yeh gimme the money man! if only...i'm getting to the point where some money [preferably in large amounts] would come pouring through my letter box.  i'm hoping to finish the recording tonight when the wife is out [it's easier that way]

roger, it's about you...how did you guess? i think we're all in there somewhere, without the pony tail, and i've never worn leather trousers...have you?

thanks kap, as i mention above, hope to up load it tonight

thanks again for your kind comments

hi roger,

yep this is the first time i've heard this one, love the recording you get an excellent sound, it must be where you've parked your caravan?

great song roger, the rhythm is different to what russ put down, but i guess that's individuality for you.

i think you might still have won even if there had been more entries...congrats

Russ Harding issued a challenge some time ago, I've only just found it, and this is my reply. It's called "Rock God", it has nothing to do with religion so it's not blasphemous, it has to do with those self-delusiory people who go on X Factor.

hi weedjie

a tender lament for a lost love?
lovely words expressing all you feel, I hope she knows how much you feel for her and judging by the sentiment, how much you miss her and want her back.
having read the other replies, it seems i read your song wrongly, i got the impression that jade had left you, if so i'm sorry for the error, but that line "i wish you could have stayed" might have misled me.

all the same nice one

ark,

a nice bit of music, it really got me chilled out. it got me in mind of taking a long walk on a Turkish or Egyptian beach on a warm balmy night

my title suggestion would be "Arabian Midnight Beach"
