Topic: Christmas song (3 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I see we`re all starting to think about christmas.
i may have posted this in the past but here it is again as it`s a xmas song.
thought i`d better write a nz xmas song as we have xmas in summer.
although we seem to end up singing winter songs,i guess thats tradition?
hope it gets you in the mood.
Also many many thanks for your support on my last `ramble` thingy.
I had a blast doing it,i just said whatever came into my head.
As with other contributions if it ain`t supported people stop contributing.

Gidday USD&BW
You`re in the right place to put your songs.
I had a play of this,it works real well.
I left the C out every third line just to add variety.
then every 5th line i repeated the last few words of the previous line
using Em then C.
You`ll get heaps of good ideas from other Chordians

You asked for it you devils for punishment.

Unlike a song a joke either works or it DON`T.

Re: Earthquake (9 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)

Yeah it was a goody.bit of rock n roll in the night.
My house has a few cracks in the foundations,but i don`t think at this stage
it`s a problem.Strange thing is that all the old buildings seem to be alright.
Many of the sexy new ones on the waterfront seem to be the ones with issues.
Because of the earthquakes we get here buildings are built with floating cushion foundations.
this allows buildings to absorb movement,so a building doesn`t fracture,it sways instead.
yeah you don`t really want to be 20 floors up when it sways.But at least it doesn`t collapse.
thats not rock n roll thats more ya roller coaster.

you are an inspiration,you always trying new things.
Many of us are doing the same old same old.over & over & over.
i`ve got heaps of songs written, but don`t bother any more to record them.
I`m gonna have a go at trying something totally different with them.
thanks for inspiring me!
