on a side note - just noticed Doug that you are from Western Oregon. My daughters in-laws live in Philomath - is that anywhere near where you are ?

Re: Last Time (8 replies, posted in Songwriting)
I have revised the lyrics somewhat. Here is a link to this song on my songbook where it is in CHOPRO format - easier to see and play.

I will attempt to put a new recording out on soundcloud soon. I tried to play it faster and shorten the time, but it just can't be done (at least by me) and still get the emotional effect. Sorry -it's just a longer song. ![]()

S'mores are Graham crackers with roasted marshmallows and dark chocolate pieces melted in between. A campfire standard for American kids
I ended up re writing this and took that part out anyways.
You can see above I revised this a bit after I played it through a bunch of times. (Some lyrical changes)
Thanks for the comments

Topic: Last Time (8 replies, posted in Songwriting)
I cannot tell you how hard this was to write. I have walked away from this about 10 times..... but I think i have finally finished it. (It's a bit long, but I don't really care
)
For those who are older and have seen their kids grow up - I think it may hit home. For those who still have children (or Grandchildren) in their home... I hope it rings true for you. (I hope you like it. ![]()
[song]
{t: Last Time}
[G]We all take for granted our priceless time upon this earth
seems we [C] get too busy, and forget what it's[G] worth
[G] we expect precious moments, each day like the day before,
but when we [D]learn it's the last time, it leaves us [C] cryin' out for [G]more
Chorus 1
Oh, things like
[D]singing to your baby when its [C] time for them to [G]nap
or [D]reading them their favorite book ,while [C] sitting on your [G]lap
[C] marking up the kitchen wall , to [G] see how much they've grown
or [D] sitting on their bed at night, cuz it's [C]too dark to be [G]alone
yeah [G]there's a last time for everything, but you hardly know when
things you've[C] done a hundred times before, but will [G]never do again
see [G] tomorrow changes everything , it always comes too fast
and those [D]yesterdays, they fade away, how I [C]wish that they would [G] last
Chorus 2
Oh things like
[D] putting bubbles in bath water, and [C]helping to tie their [G]shoes
[D]Singing wheels on the bus, and [C] counting two by [G] two
[C]Sitting on the 'ol front porch [G] trying to name the stars
And [D]playing tag or hide n' seek, building[C] snowmen in the[G] yard
[G] tomorrow isn't promised , who knows what the future holds
Oh those [C] winds of change are blowing, with di[G]rection seldom known
those [G]loving times together, may never come again
Today [D]might be your last chance, since [C] only God knows [G] when
Chorus 3
Oh things like
[D] Laughing at a silly joke, catching [C] fireflies at [G]night
Or [D]campfires with a guitar, singing [C] songs that sound just [G]right
[C]Telling little secrets making [G] sand castles at the shore
Or [D]trying to be the last to say "I [C] love you even [G]more"
[G]be sure to say all the words, you’ve always hoped to say
if to[C] morrow never comes, have no re[G]grets about today.
The next [G]shared moment may be the last that you get
so make it [D] really something special, one you [C]never will for[G]get
Chorus 4
just like
[D]sharing an ice cream cone , or [C] playing make be[G]lieve
[D]Running through a sprinkler , or [C]jumping through some [G]leaves
[C]Walking barefoot in the grass , see an [G] angel on a cloud
Putting [D] band aids on little scrapes, and [C] laughing really [G] loud
yeah [G]there's a last time for everything, but you hardly ever know when
things you've [C] done a hundred times before, but will [G]never do again
see [G] tomorrow changes everything ,and it always comes too fast
and those [D]yesterdays, they fade away, how I [C]wish that they would [G]last
those [D]yesterdays, they fade away, how I [C]wish that they would [G]last
those [D]yesterdays, they fade away, how I [C]wish I could make them [G]last (fade out )

Thanks Jan!
I appreciate the kind and on point feedback feedback.
it's difficult for me to voice songs because I 'm not much of a singer.
I appreciate that you took the time to give them a listen give me valuable commentary.
Hope all is well down under as begin to switch our seasons.

Re: Brain cell takes a vacation. (7 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
OMG- I did the same thing this week end - I was trying to learn Uncle Kracker's Follow Me, and every dang time I'd try to play it without looking at the chords on paper, right in the middle of it I ended up playing the chorus of Drift Away by Dobie Gray.
I think my old brain cells that long ago got immersed in alcohol keep pushing back to re-emerge at their own chosen time
Great getting older ain't it ?

Sad news it is --- but as Jim Morrison said in his autobiography .....
"Happens to everybody. Nobody gets out of life alive."
(Although the line "No one gets out of here alive" is from his song Five to One )
Chuck was a game changer in the music industry, not only for his musical genius - but in terms of racial progress as well.
RIP CHUCK !

Jan - with apologies - here is a new version ![]()
Phill - I don't know what a waltz goes like - but I know this isn't it !
However - what you said got me thinking - and so I put a new spin on it with different chords - a couple of minor lyric changes and came up with this.
I like it better than the first version. Jan - I promise I won't change it any more
!!!
This is the link to soundcloud for it - I also posted new chords and lyrics there.

Re: new strings (5 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
OK I don't get it.
If I have strings that are on my guitar that I have had for two years, and I play probably at lest 1/2 hour to an hour every day - but they are still perfectly in tune, why do I need to change them ? Or even if I played four hours a day - but they are still in tune - why change ?
What am I missing here ? Remember that I am not a guitarist per say - so be gentle ! ![]()

Re: SONG TIGLJK (11 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Phill and Jan
Thank you for feedback.
Phill- If I actually knew how to write a waltz maybe it could sound like one.
I think they are 3/4 time or something, but I don't know how that would go chord wise.
and Yep - pretty much all of my songs revolve around emotion or a story to tell.
Jan- Lol - Just when I think I have it - something new pops in my head - hence the changes - until finally I like it or give up
I'm glad that you tried it .
Both of you ( or anyone else) - love to hear your version of it someday , if you have the time.
after two days of snow ( 43" in total) it's back to work!
Thanks again!
Jim
