ooh Jim...you make-a me blush!

I don't know why I keep writing break-up songs, me and Ann are rock solid.

Thanks for reading and saying nice things, that's all a guy can ask for. As for the recording, I shall try and get it on soundcloud tonight if it sounds OK.

As it's less than a week till the big day...lol, (Christmas is cancelled in the UK!) I thought I'd post this song I wrote on Thursday about a serial cheat that falls back on the sap that will take them back regardless as it's Christmas time.


Come On Back, It's Christmas TimeUndefined


( INTRO; Bm- E- D-A-E )




[A] You broke my heart last Christmas.


When you [D] ran away with my best friend.


By [E] Easter you came back again.


Your [D] love affair was at an [A] end.




Take me [G] back. Take me [D] back. You begged [A] me.


Take me [G] back. Take me [D] back. You're loving [A] me.


[A] Well, I took you back at Whitsun.


And [D] everything was going fine.


By the [E] first of July. I thought I would die.


Cos you [D] had packed your bags [A] again.


Come on [G] back. Come on [D] back. I'm begging [A] you.


Come on [G] back. Come on [D] back. Cos I love [A] you.


[Bm7] Everyone knows the [E] pain that you get.


When the [D] love of your [A] life has [E] gone.


But [Bm7] nobody knows the [D] pain you're in.


Cos you're [F#m] hiding it deep [E] inside.


(SOLO; A-D-E-D)







Come on [G] back. Come on [D] back. It's Christmas [A] time.


Come on [G] back. Come on [D] back. And you'll be [A] mine.


[A] Well, this year's gone so fast and the pain didn't last.


And I'm [D] starting to yearn for your lips.


[E] Christmas time is just days down the line.


And [D] you are the top of my [A] list.


Come on [G] back. Come on [D] back. It's Christmas [A] time.


Come on [G] back. Come on [D] back. And you'll be [A] mine.


[Bm7] Everyone knows the [E] pain that you get.


When the [D] love of your [A] life has [E] gone.


[Bm7] But nobody knows the [D] pain you're in.


Cos you're [F#m] hiding it deep [E] inside.


(SOLO; G-D-A| G-D-A)






Come on [G] back. Come on [D] back. It's Christmas [A]time.


Come on [G] back. Come on [D] back. And you'll be [A] mine. X2

Sounds really nice. I couldn't tell if it was through an amp or mic. Nice country song too, very witty and layer back.

you lucky pups! it's cold and wet with us at the moment. we haven't had a decent snow fall since I don't know when. I do remember one winter when I was doing a gig in the Welsh valleys; when I got to the venue it was just a few flurries, a few hours later when I'd finished, my car was under 6" of snow. I cleared the roof and windscreen, loaded up my gear and moved the car near the front door so Ann wouldn't need to walk through the snow too far. I went in to get her...10 minutes later after she'd said goodbye to everyone, we got to the car and it was 6" deep again! 5 miles from the venue the snow had cleared and it was raining. they're called the valleys but there are mountains either side...glad those days are over.

Hi Jim. yep we're good hope you and your family are  good too. I loved the school story, I hope that didn't embarrass your pupil too much?

it's funny the chords came first, it's usually the words. I wanted to give the doubters a kick in the butt, as usual they are the ones that will keep this modern day black death hanging over our heads. it must be eradicated like measles and mumps, small pox etc. call me doctor Phill...lol

Shwmae Pete. The worry I have with masks is that you're breathing in your own co2! I've seen people driving with them on, couldn't they conk out?
You wouldn't believe how many pubs and clubs have closed their doors permanently. Even more than when they banned smoking in pubs! I've never smoked and it affected my voice so I thought it was great till venues began closing.
As far as the virus is concerned, Wales is getting hammered now even after the two week fire break, most likely due to the cretins that ignored the safety rules.
Thanks mate, stay safe.
Kia ora

Hi Ed. Part of the reason I put that line is that there are pillocks that won't have the jab....and some of them work with old folk! They must think they'll grow an extra head over night, might double their intelligence?
Thanks for the review

Social Distance.Undefined


[C] I walked along the [F] street.


[C] No one within....[F] six feet.


[C] If you haven't got a [F] mask.


[G] They wont let you [G7] past.


Into the [C] shops.


Or into a [F] pub.


[C] Unless you want [F] grub.


[C] Cos alcohol is [F] bad – for you.


[G] A little drop to drink [G7] with your food.






(CHORUS)




And [F] who made [Am] Corona Virus?


[Dm] They say it came from the [G] East.


[F] Who made the [Am] anti-virus?


[G] Give it to me [G7] please.





I want to be [C] first in the [F] line.


[C] I'm getting old I [F] may not have time.


[C] All these Christmas shoppers [F] breathing on me.


[G] I don't want it, [G7] cant you see.


(CHORUS)




I wanna go [C] back to the [F] pub.


[C] Buy a drink at [F] half past one.


[C] Boris messed up [F] everything.


[G] Brexit, Covid and the [G7] price of gin.




(CHORUS)




Put on your [C] mask. Get yourself a [F] jab.


Keep yourself [C] safe before they put you on a [F] slab.


And most of [G] all....[G7] don't give it to [C] me.

there are so many twists and turns and some great chord changes and the way you take us from a weather song to a break up song seamlessly. i love the way you hammer in the chorus and yes you do begin quietly and shock and awe with that mighty chorus. i could hear the bass and drums backing your voice and guitar from the background. that mic may be a cheapie but it sounds great.

loved the first song and listened to the others but not so impressed to be honest. i do love my metal fairly heavy so i had a look at their other stuff on YT, but it was too heavy for me. thanks for posting though very educational.

thanks Jim and seasons greeting to you and all my Chordie friends. our PM cant decide whether to have a lock-down over Christmas or not. but one thing we've all learned is...whatever he says today he'll do the opposite tomorrow.

This is me extracting the urine from myself. All done tongue in cheek of course.

Lies.          Phill Williams. 22/11/20.

My breath don't smell.
My head don't ache.
My teeth are white.
I'm never late.
I was great at school.
I read lots of books.
The girls all loved me.
I had all the looks.
I've got lots of cash.
I've got charisma to spare.
With my dashing good looks.
I don't need to care.
I've got big blue eyes.
I've got savoir faire.
I can melt a girls heart.
Panache to spare.
I can sing like a bird.
Got come to bed eyes.
And if you knew me... you'd know.
I never say lies.

Zurf, it worked fine, 2 input jack's/cannon on the front and 4 input jack's on the back also 2 output jack's and a USB socket. It worked well with my Ableton DAW and as I bought it as a sound card also great sound from my PC. One down side, it needed a power supply and when I switched on there was a great thump even with the volume turned all the way off. Let me know if you need more info.

There was a king of North Wales in antiquity named Bendigeudwad Fran, which I think means (literally translated) considerate crow? Any way his famous saying as his army came upon a gap with no way of crossing "a fo ben bid bont" or "he that would be leader or king should be a bridge," then laid down across the gap  ( he was a giant!) So his army could cross safely. Today's world leaders could learn a lot from that.

I'm with you all the way Pete, toffee nosed snobs or holier than thou. In town pubs get a face lift to try and get a better class of clientele or as I call them...yuppies! You'll see the same faces in all of the opening nights...then a new one opens and off they all go! Same old, same old.
