Re: Attempt at the Annie Lennox song - Why? (2 replies, posted in My local band and me)
I liked it as well, but it's tough to compete vocally with the likes of Annie Lennox.

Topic: Have and Have Not (2 replies, posted in Songwriting)
This is just a song about how it seems that those with fewer material things in actuality have more than those who are financially better off, but can never seem to find happiness.
Have or Have Not By Jeff Gilpin
November 26, 2011
Intro
[Bb] [F] [C]
Verse 1
[C]Why must it be
That the [Bb]haves set destiny
And the [F]nots are pulled along in the [C]wake
And [ ]yet it seems to me
The [Bb]haves are in misery
And the [A]nots are happy with whatever they [Dm]make
[Bb] [F] [C]
Verse 2
[C]I must confess
I don’t [Bb]understand happiness
Or [F]how elusive it is for those with [C]more
The [ ]nots have more than less
And the [Bb]haves their life’s a mess
[A]Answers for the taking are ig[Dm]nored
[Bb] [F] [C]
Verse 3
It’s [C]easy to over think
It’s as [Bb]plain as the kitchen sink
[F]Something’s missing from the reci[C]pe
[ ]Find a way to link
[Bb]What can be gone in a wink
Or be [A]cursed in successful mise[Dm]ry
[Bb] [F] [C]
Verse 4
It’s [C]really no surprise
It’s [Bb]just our daily lives
[F]Secrets are out there to read for [C]all
If the [ ]haves open their eyes
And the [Bb]nots realize
[A]See that their forests are not so [Dm]tall
[Bb] [F] [C] [Bb] [F]

Re: guitar to ukulele (2 replies, posted in About Chordie)
Yep - go to the song you want and you will see the instrument choices in the right menu. It defaults to guitar when you bring it up, but you can change it to ukelele as well as other instruments. Welcome to chordie and enjoy. I'm sure you'll find a ton of songs you know here.

Could not fine it but it is in E (E-B-A...) I bet you could figure out the rest from this. Sounds like you already have the lyrics link. Good luck.

Topic: Dan Reeder (1 replies, posted in Bands and artists)
I kind of stumbled across Dan's music by accident. I heard his song Cowboy Song and didn't listen too close and enjoyed the music. The words are a little parental advisory but not for all his music. One song of his that is good for all audiences is the I Drink Beer song and here is a link to the YouTube video of it. Dan is, not surprisingly, on John Prine's Label so about as Americana as you can get. Have a listen and some of you will like him while others might not care for all his lyrics. I really enjoy his style but I wish he had more songs that I could play in front of other people. Anyway here is the YouTube link for Dan's song - I Drink Beer. I enjoy the mix of old videos and the song all of which remind me of simpler times. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBaSTozYLdI
I figured out the chords for I Drink Beer as well so if anyone wants them email me.

Yep - I agree, we must do this again....I would recommend regional jams for the folks who can't make it quite as far as the shenandoah. We have chordie folk all over the world and I am sure there will be much fun to be had in other places as well.
