I thought I would put it in as the the first two verses. I was actually thinking of the second as a chorus, but it turns into a great verse also. I like where this is going.
Now my girl has left me
I`m having so much fun
shes gonna regret using me.
But I'm glad what's done is done.
Time to fly,
like a bird,
See me in the sunset
Ill pass you by
so don't give me your evil eye!

What I like about you, Cherrie cherrie, ROCK in the USA _all same chords just reversed up a bit. all in E. Also Hello I love You by The Doors (E,G, D, A) it plays real nice after Stepping stone also.
WOW I would love to but I cant pull another sick day.
I just use my 1 and 3/4 fingers (play the root 5th,,, so much easier!) your 1 on second fret A string and your 3 on the 4th fret D string and your 4 on the 4th fret on the G. use tip of your index finger to mute the low E. look here in J guitar
http://www.jguitar.com/chordsearch?chordsearch=b5 or with out the 5th http://www.jguitar.com/chordsearch?chordsearch=b
I just let my index cover the whole 2nd fret with the tip still muting the E flatten 3rd finger across the rest. I dont ever miss that im muting the higher strings, in essence its still playing like its a 5th.
I do it like Nella. or I copy and paste then adjust with word.
another beamer heavy metal band.
And what is wrong with that Sir??? 
I gotta keep things mixed up around here! LOLOL
JX3, SHE SOUNDS AWESOME!~ 
yep I play it taht way also. just depends on how lazy i want to be LOLOL you should check out the When I hear the music. its fun to paly and here is the acoustic version. OOPS its called LET IT PLAY and go to 11:28 (but its all good) You will notice Brett is playing a 12 the whole show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xy_j6-jyov8

C major 7
YEA LIKE HE SAID, I just look them up on Jguitar. I gues I could say G and just drop 1 and 2 a string each LOLOLOL.
I have number of song seeds. My head just doesn't have the right soil for planting them. It seems that it's filled with rocks.
Well then shake rattle and roll with it!
Way back when I was teaching myself the chords I found the 2,3,4 easier + it was a quick drop to C, F and D. I rearly use the 1,2,3 unless Im playing Every Rose Has Its Thorn since its mostly G and G6sus4 (or C major with out the index) or I Hear the Music D and G. Come to think of it, I dont even think about it now, i just go for what is more comfy with the changeout.
I have a fender 12 and an ovation.Strings are going to be your hit and miss. my present ones are not to bad. but I will go with silk and steel next. You will have to bone up your hand strength for barr chords. try just using your 1 and 3 fingers for the root 5ths. if you look up 12 string tuning tips and playing hints it will help you out. one trick is to tune a 1/2 step down then put a Capo on the first fret. it will make things easier till you get the strenght built up. I also like to tune a 1/2 step down and no capo. takes away the ringing in the high B and E strings. on teh fender, keep an eye on the bridge. some of them have been know to pull loose. This is because sometimes they glue the bridge on over the topcoat. not a very good idea. mine has done that and i have not fixed it yet. i just use my ovation LOLOL. good luck and look up some gordon lightfoot (capo on the 3rd and 5th fret for a lot of the songs) Oh and get a capo for a 12 string, it will make a differance. Also Tom Petty and the Eagles sound great on a 12.
OH and as mentioned, take it and get it set up. it will make a big differance!
I suppose that when a guitar maker is making a guitar, those with lovely inlays and gold hardware and a stunning finish my well be far more expensive. Maybe the extra expense allows the maker more time to make a special instrument because he won't need to make 10 guitars in the time he can spend on this one. On the other hand if the basic design and process is excellent to begin with, a great guitar will still be produced. Leo Fender is the man to thank for great guitars we can afford to own.
The other thing to concider is technology. I think it was Peavy who was one of the first guys to realize the benefit of CNC production for solid guitar bodies. As quoted : Peavey embraced state-of-the-art technology to produce guitars at lower cost, becoming the first manufacturer to use computer-controlled machinery to turn out guitar bodies and precision parts. Years later, Peavey recalled, "When we announced that we were making guitar bodies on computer-controlled machinery, some of the most prominent names in the industry said, 'Impossible. Everybody knows you can't make guitars with a computer.' That was a rather simplistic attitude, we thought, because, in fact, we weren't making guitars on computers. We were using ... computer-controlled machines to make precision guitar parts to tolerances that heretofore manufacturers couldn't even think about approaching. Guitar makers are always talking about handcraftsmanship. What handcraftsmanship is, in many instances, is the ability to fit together parts that are produced with a lot of 'slop' in them."
Take it for what you will Peavy is still a great company and their guitars have evolved greatly. (I dont own any yet but its only $$ stopping me )
This would be why PRS, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUmdzFuv8Zs Gibson (any naysayers can watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkyXEmmFT2U ) there is a good one on Dean also : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRZxwyiZ1xg ).
Thought you guys wouyld like to see how similar they are all made.
I dont think you will find too many rockers that keep the gard, or its been lowered/modified.
Thanks for all the imput. Think I'll take her to Guitar Center and let her take a look. As long as she keeps it in the 200. to 250. range. Who knows, maybe she'll want to use the Peavey I have. I do have a small Peavey amp that came with the guitar. Just thought that if she quits in month or two like kids do I wanted something that would not end up in the closet. (always wanted a acoustic-elec cutaway for grandpa)
At 12, I have to ask, how mature is she? I ask this because being a girl, she is either pretty mature, having made the leap of hormones, and thinks she knows where she wants to go. Or the other side, still sorta of a little girl and kind of timid.
I only bring this up due to your statement of "that if she quits in month or two like kids do". My older boy is 12 also, Its a hard age for both . I dont remember it too well but I am fairly certain it was rough on me. Back to the point, Cade (12) Was interested in guitar at 10 and worked to buy his first one. That was the deal. If he really wnated it, than he had to learn the 12 chords I let him use my guitar for. He had 2 friends at the time who were playing (one is so good it kills me to listen to him) and he got into it. He bought a AXL strat with his own money. I held up my end and got lessons for him. Then it fell off for 2 yrs after he stopped lessons, he hardly touched his guitar. Now at 12 he is starting again. I think taking her to Guitar Center is the best thing you could do. Her hidden power and desire will reflect on what she is drawn to! --- Ok sorry I sound like Dr.Phill. Give her the tools and then if your the teacher, ask her what she wants to learn. I wouldnt go heavy on theory, just teach her the songs she wants to learn. Dont forget a great tool are all the free backing tracks out there. http://www.guitarbackingtrack.com/ great site!
Hope it all goes well! Beamer.
a song for you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQF9JJ3Ofkw
but quite frankly if im feeling mean and nasty I HAVE 3 outlets #1 Grab my SG plug in and crank it up. Play root 5ths in a low register. Hold them repeatedly. E5 is my favorite.
#2, Get on the bike,and ride while listening to some HEAVY A$$ TUNES till the anger flys out into the wind
#3 have a beer and mow the grass while listening to some HEAVY A$$ TUNES ! followed by another beer and a cigar. (then the wife is happy too lolol.)
I have no hard data either, but I read about 6 bios, all the guys from the great past. I do not know how Ozzy, Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Ace Frehley, Peter Chris, Slash, Nicki Sixx, Tommy Lee, and all the others I can not remember are still on this earth!
I think lots of the present crop have learned a little from the past. Yes, many still like to get their drink on and probably like to chill with some wild wood flower, but they have seen the Heroin travistys, though a few still seem to fall to that, and are doing all right getting off on the music and the attention. Heck! just give me 30,000 people in front of me. NOW THATS A DRUG ALL BY ITS SELF! As Bobby Doll (Poisons bass player) Says "Playing in front of 30.000 fans.... Its better than sex."
Go with the Ibanez! its cool looking has the electrics and if heavy strings are a problem,, I used .009 Electric strings on my first ascoustic till I got used to them and put on the acustic bronze. Be the cool grandpa, get her a small pratice amp just so she can really get juced for playing. Ask her what kind of music she wants to eventually play. Is she a ballad/Jewl type or is she a Lzzy Hale/Joan Jett rocker wanna be? ( Im personally for all the above but like the latter! LOLOLOL!
So what Capo do you like for a 12 string? I have seen a coupple that have the different humps in them for the thinner strings.
I haven't watched the show, but I don't mind looking at Jewel.
Zurf you would love it being the outdoorsman that you are. You can watch full episodes on the eiscovery website.
... That ATZ Kilcher on the "Alaska the last frontier" show on Discovery is the father of one time big pop star JEWEL?
Just thought I would put that tidbit out there
Sadly I have to say that I went to a Jewl show 5 yrs ago to spend time with a friend and to check it out. Sadly I must report that the show absolutley put me to sleep. The best part was telling a story about her dad at a grammy party. Then I was out again LOLOL. ( I have to say it was a special kind of torment - much like being stuck in an elevator)
Well My wife and I ended up being comfortable doing nothing but watching 6 hours of "Alaska, the last frontier" and having Rootbeer Floats and enjoyed being the only ones in the house most of the day!
Well seeing as I dont read your native language its hard to help or know what the whole song is saying.
I googled " Aishiteru" I think that is perfect for what I think your shoooting for. In english it looks pretty cool and rolls off the toung pretty nice. or you could call it EVERMORE Which has a finality about it.
I dont know what rythm or syncopation to read it in either.
Lets try tomorrow or if your around tonight look me up ill not have the the audio on till someone calls in
