This is just a song about luck. I hear some folks think that they’re unlucky. I think you are either unlucky or lucky if you think you are. It’s all in your head.

Luck Is What You Make It By Jeff Gilpin


September 29, 2012


Verses go like this


D..A..D..A..D..A..E..E7..


D..A..D..A..D….F#....


G..D..A….G..D..A….G..D..A….G..D..E….D….A




Verse 1


There’s [D]risk in every [A]waking


[D]Danger in every [A]turn


Just [D]walking down the [A]sidewalk


There are [E]lessons that we [E7]learn


[D]Every spoken [A]hello


[D]Every casual [A]glance


[D]Every shared amusement


Every [F#]turn in every dance




Chorus


[G]Luck is [D]what you [A]make it


It’s [G]fearful [D]or its [A]fun


[G]Shun it [D]or em[A]brace it


But [G]luck [D]is [E] what you [D]make it [A]




Verse 2


There [D]is no guaran[A]tee in life


There [D]is no chosen [A]path


All [D]roads lead to [A]disaster


And [E]all roads make you [E7]laugh


[D]How you handle [A]all the things



That [D]come along in [A]life


[D]Really are all up to you


And [F#]how you roll the dice




Chorus


[G]Luck is [D]what you [A]make it


It’s [G]fearful [D]or its [A]fun


[G]Shun it [D]or em[A]brace it


But [G]luck [D]is [E] what you [D]make it [A]




Verse 3


[D]Heading down the [A]road in life


There’s [D]many a twisted [A]turn


Get [D]through to the [A]other side


With [E]all the scars you [E7]earned


[D]Character de[A]velops


[D]Attitudes ce[A]ment


[D]What’s sent down to face you


Might [F#]be just heaven sent




Chorus


[G]Luck is [D]what you [A]make it


Its [G]fearful [D]or its [A]fun


[G]Shun it [D]or em[A]brace it


But [G]luck [D]is [E] what you [D]make it [A]

Hello folks,
               since this is a football thread, here in Aus. we are into Rugby League finals football with so called sudden death games being played where winners play winners and losers drop out.
Teams remaining are South Sydney Rabbitohs, Manly Sea Eagles, Canterbury Bulldogs, all from Sydney and the Melbourne Storm, obviously from Melbourne. At this stage the betting agencies are tipping the Bulldogs.
The Brisbane Broncos (my team) have already been knocked out of the competition.
A bit of trivia for you; the South Sydney Rabbitohs team is owned by Russel Crowe, (some of you may have heard of him)
Cheers for now
All the best
Bushy

One of the players on the Washington Redskins played Aus Rules Football. His name is Sav Rocca and he's their punter. He's the only punters in the league I know of who looks forward to making a tackle when he's on the field. Here is a youtube of him back in his earlier ARF days. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=civKdIgEC6I

A little song about missing the mountains I grew up in.

Blue Ridge Blue By Jeff Gilpin


September 9, 2012




Verse 1


When [D]I was a [F]boy


I moved to a [C]home


[G]Out in the mountains


The place I would [D]roam


Nestled in a [F]valley


Far from city [C]life


[G]Surrounded by ridges


Reaching up to the [D]sky




Chorus 1


They were [F]Blue [C]Ridge [D]blue


Rising [F]up in the [C]air


[G]Tall as the [F]heavens


I [G]just stood and [D]stared


At the [F]Blue [C]Ridge [D]blue


The [F]colors so [C]deep


And I [G]drank in the [F]sight


I was [G]trying to [D]keep




Verse 2


Years passed on [F]by


And I moved a[C]way


[G]Into the city


Where I had to [D]stay


Closer to [F]work


Civili[C]zation


[G]Far from my thoughts


But in my imagi[D]nation I saw





Chorus 2


[F]Ridges [C]so [D]blue


Rising [F]up in the [C]air


[G]Tall as the [F]heavens


I i[G]magined they were [D]there


Those [F]ridges [C]so [D]blue


The [F]colors so [C]deep


And [G]I drank in the [F]sight


I could [G]see it in my [D]sleep




Verse 3


Years upon [F]years


I’m still in the [C]city


Built [G]with a keen eye


To some maybe [D]pretty


I guess they looks [F]fine


But I feel no [C]joy


Like in the [G]Blue Ridge mountains


I grew up in as a [D]boy




Chorus 3


With the [F]ridges [C]so [D]blue


Rising [F]up in the [C]air


[G]Tall as the [F]heavens


I still i[G]magine I’m [D]there


The [F]ridges [C]so [D]blue


The [F]colors so [C]deep


I [G]drink in the [F]sight


That I [G]see it in my [D]sleep

Using minor chords can turn a song creepy if you want to give that a try.

thanks Dino...I know water is sometimes overlooked, but it may be as precious as oil in the future...I can just imagine "water speculators" driving the cost up if we don't watch out.

And [G]if we’re lucky we [D]might even make it
