Thanks for that Bill, very surprising and very uplifting.

Your writing goes from strength to strength, I know I've said it before so I've said it again.
As I read through the song I could see you've written it from a young couples perspective, the first verse gave me the impression that it was about an older couple? I guess it fits all sizes.

Brill piece of work, i shall try playing it later.

Well done.

Yorkshire dales, as I recall wet windy with the added bonus of COLD! I was also wondering what had happened to him. Knowing British Telecom he's still waiting for his broadband to be connected. Either that or he's up to his armpits getting the new house in order. Good luck Graham, lets hear from you soon.

shall have to try it, i used to play when i'm 64 in my set years ago but it's one of those that fell by the wayside. i was tempted to revive it last year when i was 64....i resisted...   

I've bought a lighter gauge set to help with the tension thing, haven't put them on yet though.

BGD, how would a 12er sound detuned to D?

we used to have an ad over here with chimpanzees drinking tea when one says to the other " it's in the taste" you love it or hate it....just like marmite

i love a nice milky coffee but i tend to get heart palpitations so i tend to avoid coffee and cola (i thought that would be the safest way of putting it LOL) we use ty-phoo tea bags with sugar and milk and of course it must be hot!

i laughed at the Picard ref as he's meant to be french! it's like a french man playing a scotsman and a scotsman playing a spaniard...it could never happen?  could it?

why cant religion and musicians stay out of politics and politicians keep their nose out of everything else? having said that we all have an opinion only some can shout it louder than others.

Hi Dino

I think Macca was in his mid 20 s when he wrote when I'm 64, if he did then there's hope for us all?

my old dad used to whistle too, or at least try to, he couldn't carry a tune in a bucket to be honest. he started a job driving a lorry in about 1957/8 and during the summer holidays i'd go with him for a spin, which i think is where i get my wanderlust from. between the engine noise was deafening and his whistle as well????? he died about 10 years ago 2 years after my mother, i sometimes dream about them as if they were still alive and even though i feel sad that they're no longer here, i'm glad i had a few more moments with them.

i'd love to have a go at your song if i get some time but i am preparing for christmas right now so maybe when i get a few moments.

got to say though love the song and the sentiment

i have to agree, i have had the wrong song played on several occasions though usually by the right performer

Hi there U.D.n.B

I thought I'd have a crack at it and this is what I came up with, I hope you don't mind cos I've taken a liberty or two with some words to get the rhythm I've used and I've altered some chords to give the song a flow and I've even changed key for the last 3 lines, as Jim says "if'n you likes it not, dump it."

Fallen Again

[D] To all of those in my [C] life who [G] care about [D] me,

[D] my eyes are filled with [C] hurt, so [G] much I can't [D] see.

[C] Just please have patience, for I've [G] fallen again,

[Am] I try so hard,but I [D] just can't win.

[C] I brush myself off, put my [G] feet back on the ground,

[Am] because I know there's a [G] reason, why I'm [D] still around.

[D] I try as hard as I [C] can, to [G] do my very [D] best,

[D] but it seems like all my [C] efforts, never [G] please the [D] rest.

[C] I feel like all those, I [G] care about the most,

[Am] don't acknowledge me, makes me [D] feel like  a ghost.                         
[C] I have to follow [G] my heart, a quest unbound,                                                     
[Am] I've fallen again, I'm [G] down here on the [D] ground.

[C] A person can [D] only get back up so [Em] many times,
[Am] before they need [C] help, that's why I [D] write these lines.

[D] If someone sees on the [C] ground a [G] struggling man,
[D] would you please stop real [C] quick, to [G] offer me your [D] hand.
[F] I've fallen [C] again and I'm on the [Bb] ground
[F] I've fallen [C] again and I'm on the [Bb] ground
I said I've [F] fallen [C] again and I'm on the [Bb] ground....D-C-G

I am recording it at the moment and as soon as I get it on soundcloud I'll let you know

Wow Jan, I never realised you were lefty too! I began torturing the strings at about 14 in an attempt to attract the girls....never worked! But when I picked it up for the first time it went naturally lefty, I've tried swapping but gave up.

Upside, your gonna have to give us a shorter name we can call you? Yes great song made all the more poignant by the accompanying story, glad to hear you're clean, congrats on that and the song, it's early morning here and the wife is still sleeping so with your permission I'll give it a go later. You have a talent keep on.

Phill
