I made this recording this morning.
It's ok but if someone who can actually play and sing did it - I think it would be a pretty cool Christmas song.

Hope you like it.

Scott

That is exactly why I have never gone on FB - I have seen it mess up so many things, end friendships, end employment,  and ruin lives.....

FB is like a guillotine.... if it was used for slicing meat for sandwiches it would be great....

I am so glad you are still going to be on here.

Best wishes for the rest of the Holidays.

At the risk of seemingly  plagiarizing the chords of the   Marshall Tucker song Can't You See - I wrote this song this morning.

If I was smart enough or knew enough about music I could have probably used some other chord progression I guess.

However, they are easy chords for me to play and my words fit pretty good into the progression so here it is anyways.  I'm pretty sure there a bunch of songs out there that have borrowed the same progressions from others smile

{t: Some Days}

[A]Some days I’m so  happy
Some [G]days I feel so  blue
I can’t [D]take life too   serious
Cuz I’m [A]only passing through

[A]Oh I’ve drifted in good times
close to  [G] drowning in the bad
Tried to[D] walk the straight and narrow,
But it  [A] only  made me sad

Chorus
[A]oh some days, Oh some [G[days , Oh some [D]days
can’t find  a [A] friend
[A]oh some days, Oh some [G[days , Oh some [D]days, I
never want to[A] end

[A] I’m old enough to die now
but I [G]think I’ll hang around
still so [D] much I want to  do
‘fore they [A] put me in the ground

[A]Some days I’ve got everything
Some [G]days are a total loss
Oh I’ve [D]seen  the river Jordan,
but I [A] ain’t ready to cross

Chorus

[A]oh some days, Oh some [G[days , Oh some [D]days
can’t find  a [A] friend
[A]oh some days, Oh some [G[days , Oh some [D]days, I
never want to[A] end

Nice but quite sad song Trevor!

Clearly illustrates that Christmas is not always so Jolly for everyone.

Will you be putting up a live version ?
