Falling star  By Graham Windle © all rights  reserved  18/10 /2014

C
I have been a rolling stone
G
and I have been a dreamer
F                           G                       C
But there’s times when I’ve, not been around.
C
One thing kept me going
G
to know you’d be there waiting
F                  G                      C
every time I'd come back into town.

Chorus
F                       G
Babe I’m like a falling star
C
I’m heading into darkness
F                       G
Burning like a beacon bright
         Am
Then fade into the night
F                       G
Roaring like a hurricane
       C
or the storm that does surround us
F                       G
Soaring like an aeroplane
        Am
You always make me high

C
I've been wrong, I’ve been right
G
I might stay out late at night
F                       G                           C
but I'll always make my way back home
C
There’s a place that’s best for me
G
and that’s where I want to be
F                           G             C
long as your there I wont ever roam

Chorus
F                       G
Babe I’m like a falling star
C
I’m heading into darkness
F                       G
Burning like a beacon bright
         Am
Then fade into the night
F                       G
Roaring like a hurricane
        C
or the storm that does surround us
F                       G
Soaring like an aeroplane
        Am
You always make me high .

   F-         C              G
Life is good but its been a long time coming
  F-         C               G
Life is good and it treats me good today
F-                   C               G
when I look at you and I know how much I love you
F                     C                  G                C
That Is why I’m drawn like a moth is to a flame  x3

So basically   we need  to  get  this  ball rolling .As I  am in Crete  until the beginning  of 2015 somebody  in the  UK  needs  to  source  a  venue.
Volunteers  please.
Many  of  the  hotel chains  like premier inn ,holiday inn travel lodge, best western etc will  have  a  function room available, probably  free if we  can guarantee booking  a  certain number  of  rooms,  Same  applies to  private  venues.
An  event  like  this  properly  organised  and  presented  will promote Chordie and be  a lot  of  fun too.

How many UK Chordians would be up for Chordie stock UK if it became a reality.
As I will be in the UK for some time in the new year I thought maybe it would be a good idea if members can register their interest  then we can see if it will be worthwhile organising.
Perhaps a midlands venue would be the best place central for every one.

Thanks  Rich it  certainly is  fast  and hard to keep up with .The  song tells of a Ghost  train and the journey  some one is taking on it and how his life plays out like a wild west movie ,the literal translation is a bit hard to follow  but I'm working on it .The original is by The Wooden Swords a greek rock band  and  its  written by  Pavlos Pavlides who does  some pretty cool tunes .

Thanks  Amy  we  are  very enthusiastic about  this  venture  but  it  has  come at  a  strange  time   just  after  I  had  planned  to  go  for  an extended  stay  in the  UK from December .We  need  to  get  some  gigs  before  I  have  to  leave  then we  can gauge  the  audience  reaction .

Yeah  Artie  I  have  played  support  to  Pavlos  a  couple  of  years  back and he's a nice  guy  ,I have  sent  him an email today so  we'll see  what  happens  hopefully  he'll go  with  it,

This  could  be  opening a can of worms but  can any  one  explain the  legality's  of  adapting  or  translating  a  song  from a  foreign language .
Here in Greece  we  have  some  great  tunes with un translatable lyrics. Due to  the structure  of  the language straight  translation doesn't  often make  sense  in a  song  or  fit  into  English phraseology .
So  what  I am asking  basically  is  how do  the  copy right  laws  affect a piece  of  work that  has  been  adapted  from an existing song .I would  expect  permissions  would  have  to  be  sought  from the  writer of the  original  song to  use  the  music and  also  he  or  she  should  be  credited   with  the  writing despite the fact  that  the  wording   may  have  been changed  partly  or  even completely . 
I  refer to  songs  like la bamba which  became twist and  shout  and  holiday  songs  like  una paloma blanka .
My  reasons  for asking  this  question is  that  I  have  recently  adapted to  English a  song written by  Pavlos Pavlides  called Treno Fantasma (Ghost  Train)and  I  feel it wouldn't  be  ethical to publish the adaptation with out  first finding out the legality's and  secondly approaching  Pavlos  for  his permission .
