Well in America we do trick or treat, meaning literally 'give me candy or I'll play a trick on you', after about the fourth grade they lose interest in the treat and focus mainly on the trick.
The 'trick' means they either throw raw eggs at your house, or they wrap your house, car, or front yard trees in toilet paper. And trailer park children in America are known for thier mischeviousness, maybe because of the convenient oppurtunity...
They don't do 'wrapping' (or 'toliet papering') where you live?

I handed out candy to trick or treaters all night last night, came in excited to sit down and enjoy some good ol' fashioned gore/horror movie marathons like are on every year, only to find to my dissapointment that there weren't none!
what IS this world coming to????
   I noticed some little hispanic kids dressed up as soldiers.... and I couldn't help but wonder if that was some kind of statement. I mean are american soldiers supposed to frighten small children? Or maybe halloween costumes aren't supposed to be scary anymore.

Its probly some kind of old timey superstition...  like a coon pecker bone beoing good luck

And when she looks at me to say
"I really don't know anymore"
She never thinks I'll fail her
Like I have too many times before

Good one, Love to see the chords

Congratulations!
  Are the epi Lp's pretty good sounding??? I think I'm gonna get a new electric next (course this will be in the disatant future lol), always wanted a les paul but I know I wont be able to afford one/

porter wagoner sang 'the green green grass of home', which is one of my favorite songs. I'm not a huge fan, but I like some of his music. I like that song he's doing on that link too... If I'm not mistaken someone else sang it first, (but then that always seems the case with country songs lol) It was lung cancer wasn't it?
Always a shame to see a grand ole opry legend pass away....
  By the way I found that on the chorus you can substitute a Cadd9 where that last C goes and it makes the vocal climb a little easier (for me anyhow).

Oh okay then
   You're very welcome.... not sure if it was me on the power chords, idk might have been though. Good luck with learning, just holler if you need somethin' else.

Grass is greener was what you[C] said
[G] So left to tend another’s [D] bed
[G] Borders edging neat and[C] curved
[G] More weed than seed just [D] grew for [G] you.

  Old Doll, once again a very well written song. I wish I was a better fingerpicker so I could do it justice, but very nice. That was my fav. line by the way

When you put your finger on a fret and pluck the string it produces a certain pitch, or 'note'. When you press down on the fret and push upwards )literally bending it, don't worry it wont break), you change the pitch or 'note', or in other words the sound becomes higher.
The tab notation 3^5, does NOT mean you move your finger from the third fret, it simply means you push the string upwards untill it produces the pitch equal to the one you would get from plucking the string with the finger on fifth fret.
  Most string bending occurs on the e,B,and G strings, because they are thinner and easier to bend. Its gonna hurt, but you just have to do it anyway. As you get into the tablature that requires bending the string up and holding it there, you'll need lots of finger strength.
  String bending produces a special sound, kind of wha, slightly distorted effect, and you wont get far without learning it. As always practice makes perfect.... try some CCR, and other older bands before they had lots of effects to work with to find string bends.
  SO, in conclusion:
     String bending = pushing down and pulling upwards on the string NOT lifting the finger, but moving it on the fret board towards the e string.
  PUSH DOWN, PULL FORWARDS

... by the way are you the same guy under a differnt screen name??

Monday Night Football- Hank Jr
Tuesday's Gone- orginally a blues song I think but Lynyrd Skynyd does it....
Finally Friday- George Jones
Thats What I love about Sundays- Craig Morgan

Then there's a johhny cash song called 'stripes' that goes

"On a monday, I was arrested
On a Tuesday they (something like 'locked me in') jail
  On a Wednesday (uh ok maybe I don't know the words so well, but it ends with 'And on thursday')"

Well anyway yall get the idea.....

haha
sounds like a hoot. I love dressin' up crazy ayhow, and halloween's the only time you can buy the good stuff. I was never much for trick or treating (course if you lived where I lived you wouldn't neither). Me and my cousins used to dress up as crazy as we could and 'go to town' (here that means wal mart), cut up a little, make some people laugh, buy up huge sacks of candy and a couple of chainsaw massacre movies, go home and eat and watch till we finally passed out on the couch (or floor).
I remember one year me and courtney did the blues brothers, we used real derby hats, sun shades, black shirts and tucked our hair up behind our ears. We'd take off randomly with a rousing chorus of "I'm a soul man' and Courtney would moonwalk lol
Anyhoo, this year I'm just staying home from church to watch the house (dang thee trailer park kids and thier toilet paper ), Im sposed to sit on the front porch and pass out candy. I found the coolest little stuffed rat guy (kind of looks like the bunny off of monty python only brownish green and nastier)at the mall, so I'm gonna dress up like a prisoner in one of those striped suits and pass out candy.... kind of ironic that we live next to Jefferson penetentiary I guess but whatever...
