Okay....more playing with your song and I think the <b>C7</b> (I added in the chorus) fits better with a <b>G</b> right after. Then it rolls back into the verses better. And adding a break might be good as you say. But it's a pretty fun song to play loud <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_biggrin.gif" border=0 alt="Very Happy">

Re: "Gonna Gotta" (10 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Okay, I took a look but adjusted it a bit so see what you think:
I played as written but thru in a <b>D</b> on "fun" not <b>G</b>
and in the chorus I added a <b>C7</b> on "tonight"
I continued on through out the song with these "adjustments" and it sounded almost "Back in the USSR"-ish if you know what I mean
Played at a pretty thumping pace it sounds hot

This is a song Alison Krauss and Union Station have on their New Favorite CD. I believe it was written by Wendy Waldman, Who has some really great music on her MySpace page (<a href="http://www.myspace.com/wendywaldman" target="_blank">http://www.myspace.com/wendywaldman</a>) but I can not find the chords for "I'm Gone" anywhere on the net. Any help??

I believe it is a <b>GCD; GCD; EmCD; GCD</b>
Wrap these around the lyrics and check it out for yourself and see what you think.

Thanks James - She shared a little but mostly kept it to herself. Now I have to figure out something else to write about. I have a few ideas for other songs but nothing on paper yet.

Okay, I broke the ice with the song about my daughter moving away so here is the first song I wrote for my wife earlier this year on Valentines Day. Kind of mushy but definitely from the heart (and went over big with the wife)...Hope you all like it.

Re: My Second Song (4 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Thanks Roger. I thought it fit too. I wrote the words first and then tried to figure a melody to go with them and it worked out. Using a Cadd9 in place of the E in the chorus works too but the E sounds fine to me. I need to figure out what to write next now. By the way, both you and James are song writing machines. Thanks for the inspiration and I'll try to come up with more songs.

Re: My Second Song (4 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Hey James,
Thanks, you totally got what I was trying to say as well. She's leaving in any where from a few weeks to a few months and I couldn't think of the right way to let her know how I felt.
I'll correct the format right away.

Re: Need rock songs with chords! (6 replies, posted in Electric)
I've got some pretty good rock songs on my song books but it's mixed with a bunch of other stuff as well. Maybe 15 to 20 give or take on the 3 books that I've published on public books. There are some other's books that are all rock songs. Have a look.
Good luck,
Jets
