Peatle & Jan
Glad u liked this poem.
I`m not very keen on it myself.All that rhyming cheapens
the real sentiment.
This is quite different from my first write.
But hey, Chordians like a good rhyme.

not many chordians have taken you up on the idea.
Thats a shame as i think it`s a great idea challenging others to have a crack @ a nominated song.
So i`ve banged a version out.
It`s nothing like yours at all,i like to take a song somewhere else.
I did a kinda swamp rock feel to it

Cheap Thrills
Skill with ya hands
Will slowly disappear
Craftsmen and trades
No longer be here
Cheap imports have taken their toll
Loss of jobs.. shed of tear
Can`t be blamed for saving a buck
Replace ..not repair
Bottom line the sole requirement
Quality and craftmanship
Relegated to history
That`s just the way it goes
Don`t have to look far everyone knows
We are all guilty of this demise

Topic: Warmed Heart (1 replies, posted in Poems)
My type of songs are a bit weird for Chordie so i`ve posting them as poems, here`s another.
` Warmed Heart`
I saw that girl in town again today
Seen her round many times before
Often felt some sympathy for her
For it is obvious life
Has not been kind to her
But today when i saw her
My spirits got quite a lift
For there she was
Hand in hand with another
Hopefully found love
This prospect warmed my heart
There`s someone for everyone

Progress?
I live in a country of just 4 million souls
Islands at the end of the earth
always thought we were well away
from the troubles of the world
But when i turn my radio on
on waking sunday morn
News of stabbing & murder again
from the days gone before
I lived in this country years ago
of just 3 million souls
a murder just once a year

Lotto Blues
Buy your ticket
Lay your money down
Anticipation till lottery day
Sit in front ... turn ya TV on
Excitement builds
Will the balls fall your way
Round and round the balls they go
Drop each out.. the numbers grow
At the end add them up
Chosen numbers nowhere to be seen
Not to worry ....waste another ten
Always next week
Trying to win the dream

Gidday all
This is brilliant,many chordians doing covers.
Please keep them coming i think it`s really exciting.
I guess lots of u guitarists have never had a crack at covering `an original`
Let me encourage u to have a go,sometimes an average guitarist finds they are a brilliant arranger
or have a talent for putting their signature on a song.Or put some chords to a poem.
Phill williams covered one of my songs once,it was so encouraging it kept me writing.
Have a go!
Hey baby spread the love

Many thanks for the support you lovely people.
I hope this will distract him from his troubles.
Yes it is excellent,but please don`t compare to usual chordie songs/perfomances.
As he spent an awful lot of time & money to get this song done.

I wonder if you could do something for me.
I have a nephew whos going thru a really rough time.i`m trying musical
therapy on him.He`s a wonderful musician,but life has got on top of him
and he hasn`t made music for years.
I`ve talked him into putting a song on Soundcloud.
Could YOU please drop by & give him a listen maybe even a comment of encouragement.
At this time he could use it. Many thanks kind people.
