Topic: `Ain`t no shops` (3 replies, posted in Poems)
Know a man
worked hard all his life
saved for security
put money aside
for his older years
so he wouldn`t go without
became a saving habit
which is good in some ways
but all work and no play
finally took their toll
when a friend said
these fateful words
`ain`t no shops in heaven`
even if money to spend
ain`t no shops in heaven
so have a good time now
ain`t no shops in heaven
and that man is me!

I`ll have a coffee thanks
Yeah i know it costs five bucks
I`ll have a beer thanks
Yeah i know it costs ten bucks
I really like the music here
But i expect that for free
Time to respect the musician
Put some money in his hat
He`s done his time
You only too happy
to pay for other things
beer food and wine
Time to respect the musician
He can`t live on love
Put some money in his hat
I`m sure some of u can relate to this, how about some chords eh?

Re: ` Sad Clown` (9 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Phill
many thanks,i might give it a go myself. Be interesting what we both come up with.
Usually with me i have an idea how it goes when the words pop out of my head.
But not this time,i won`t know till i pick up my guitar, then i press the record
button and it just happens.
as you can probably tell, i don`t spend any time on a song just write, record, forget.
I`ve never played one of my songs more than twice.

Phill,
YES PLEASE,i love what u do.
Don`t know if ya heard my voice on Soundcloud
it`s pretty bad.But thanks to you, having a go @
Money Talks and sending it to me,i decided to have a go myself.
If it hadn`t been for you i would never have even tried.
You put a wonderful voice to my lyric and made me believe.
When you sent it i got goosebumps, a real buzz
I will always be thankful to phill williams!

Out in public
always jokes and smiles
can`t always tell
from these surface things
Lookin` in the mirror
at the sad clown
I`m lookin`in the
mirror at me
A smile up front
hiding something else
wonder what could it be
like that song
`tears of a clown`
don`t always get
what you see
I`m the joker with the happy smile
I`m the joker with the ready wit
working on some chords!

Gidday,
When i`ve put songs Or poems here, often get the comment.
Look forward to the video.
Well i can`t sing,& just a strummer, but so many songs i need to put a voice to.
So i`ve opened a `soundcloud` account so i can put some audio out there.
I have found this a VERY scary thing to do.i love writing songs & needed to do
something with them.So i`ve mumbled my way through a few so far (a few bum notes)
BUT I couldn`t have done this without your encouragement.
Many many thanks to those of you who have encouraged me.

Just wondering if it`s pos to have a Chordie audio, or link to
maybe Chordie soundcloud.
It would be great to have all chordie songs available in the one place.
New songs ,covers,performances,poetry readings etc?

Wasted Emotions
When you young
easy to get angry
easy to get violent or abusive
shoot from the hip
give a little lip
wasted emotions
but as you get older
wisdom comes with age
got a bit mellower
not tryin` to be hip
or give a little lip
you find that
hate, abuse or aggro
don`t get you any where
turn the other cheek
is easy done
the rest is just
wasted emotions

Gidday.
I`ve been writing some real dogs lately.
This popped into my head, and as usual i had to jot it down
or else it drives me crazy.I think this is rubbish as well, but
there`s a couple of things i like about it. so before i bin it
thought u guys may help me improve it or add chords or to see if i can salvage it?
ABC
Lovin` her was easy
Easy as A B C
Keepin` her happy was harder
Harder than X Y Zee
Tried to give her a life style
Should have been easy
Easy as 1 2 3
Went through rough times
Offered to set her free
Said she didn`t want
Money or jewels
She only wanted me
I been a stupid fool
Only wanted lovin`
And that`s as easy
As A B C
