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?

Phill.
as far as i`m concerned you walk on water

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.

Gidday All

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?

I like it a lot.
the style you`ve written it in seems very similar
to my stuff.I felt i was reading a better version of one of my own songs.

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

thanks for that idea,you a very clever guy.
i`m starting to like it a bit more.
PLEASE any other suggestions very welcome
i thought it was a bit corny with the rhymes
but hey it just came from now where so i just went with it.
i been looking @ the songs from u experts & they all seem to be love songs
so i think maybe that`s where this originated.
suggestions & brickbats all welcome
thanks

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
