i think this is probably your best song.
I`m not a fan of everything rhyming but on this one it works.
good on ya.

Both Bill,i just want her to put her touch to the songs.
I love giving a song to someone & letting them do an arrangement or style thats different to mine.
And of course adding a good voice.
Covering an original(never heard) is pretty close to actually writing an original.
It`s where a lot of us got started writing.

Gidday all
Yeah Mac is getting lots of nice replies,this is encouraging her to record some more.
I`ve sent her 3 new songs to try,can`t wait to see what she does to them.
It`s  great to have a good voice record my stuff.

Yeah Jandle & Mac are getting together.
I`m hoping to get a cut,but as neither of them are hairdressers
maybe i`ll just support them.

No i just hassle you lot till you do it,i know you can. It`s just that you don`t know it yet!
If a bum like me can write a song anyone can!
come on ricky i know you got one in you.

Gidday
all of the above are people i`ve talked into becoming Chordians
Got them all writing songs with lots & lots of encouragement.(all on soundcloud)although maybe different names
The latest one i`ve encouraged is `Mac`  shes doing a couple of my songs,which is great because she has a terrific voice.
Please check her out,shes lacking confidence & would appreciate your comments & support.
Many Many thanks.EB

For a second song this is amazing,your first one was good but this is much gooder.
Isn`t it great to get feedback from these lovely people on chordie?
It`s all about encouragement.

Down here we strum by the nut & play the chords by the soundhole.

I`m with you on this one,often i write a song & think(foolishly)
hey thats not bad,so i put it out there because i`m kinda proud of it.
I`ve got a couple of friends that say kind things,but at the end of the day
nobody else likes it.
Not to worry though i`m having a ball and i guess thats what it`s all about.
If one person likes it, thats a real bonus, it`s all been worth while.
good luck & keep writing! keep the pickle juice flowing.

Great to see others picking up some of the original songs.
I can tell ya,it`s very encouraging when someone else covers your song.
But i also think theres something in it for the person covering it
when i`ve covered some of u guys it`s a real buzz.
well done Joe3chords

I dabble with the uke a bit.
When playing with others i find 90% are soprano players.
Don`t know why everyone buys a soprano?
Yeah it sounds a whole lot better if you have a mix of ukes.
as for baritone,i can`t understand.why not play guitar instead.
Look forward to seeing more comments from you,i know there`s a lot of uke players on Chordie.

Calloused Hands
Lived in this house for many a year
But lately houses been sold
and houses been bought
New people moving in
Lived in an average house i always thought
In an average street
In an average town
They think different to me
They talk different to me
They have different aspirations in life
I`m the only one
with calloused hands
The only working class guy in our street
They shuffle paper for all of their day
End of the week collect good pay
I`m the only one
With calloused hands
The only working class guy in our street
