That's an amazing song  Joe

Mojo, do you get these "pop-ups" on any other sites? And if anyone else gets them could you also let me know. The reason I ask is that I don't get any ads which would mean that unfortunately your equipment is infected and you need to get a good adblock prog. Maybe Per or Roger could give you better advice hopefully they'll see this post and get in touch.     
I know how annoying ads can be have you been on YouTube lately?

I just play. Not great. Just for my own enjoyment. If it ever becomes a chore, I won`t get any enjoyment from it. I also just make the best of my abilities.
Anyone here that knows me know how my tastes vary. Especially if they look through my binders of printed music.
When I get bored with what I have printed. I find new songs to play. How do I do it?? Public radio. ROKU and YouTube. Regular commercial radio does nothing. My settings are 92,5 and lower in my car and company truck. So I get to hear music I won`t hear on regular commercial radio. ROKU has an E Tuner. I can stream those same stations. All I need is the call letters. I can add them to my favourites. YouTube. I will play one song. Keep it playing and it automatically goes to the next song. I do this when I`m driving or working around the house. Just for background music. That`s when I hear something new or forgotten. Write it down. Find it online on here or one of the many  guitar sites online. Print it. Try to learn it.
    If I can`t find it with the chords. I can copy and paste lyrics. Figure out the chords and write them in. I am a chronic cheater. Crossing out and substituting. Moving them over . If I can`t handle a chord. I try different one`s until it sounds good enough. Cross out the nasty chord. Write in the one I`ll use.  Nothing is etched in concrete.
  There are plenty of songs and artists you`ve never heard or forgot about.
Also. Just because I print it doesn`t mean I can play it,. I hold onto them. I may figure it out months or years later.
The music is out there. You have to find it. It`s not going to come to you if you don`t look for it.

this is a song i wrote for the veterans , the motto of the volunteer group i am in for helping vets is "up till today you have made through 100% of you worst days" 

words and chords as requested
capo 2nd fret
D                                                 C                 G
a pistol and phone they both lay by the bed
A                                                     G                    D
you struggle each day which to put to your head

your dying inside from a cut that don't bleed
the people around you cant see your needs

in a world that's so dark you can't catch your breath
like to many others you just want to rest

chorus

Bm                         D
up until now you've made it through
A                                              G
everything the worlds thrown at you

now's not the time to throw it away
give me a call we will sit down and pray

your still as strong as you used to be
pick up the phone tell your troubles to me

was all red, white and blue when you raised your right hand
doing your duty in some foreign land

what they never told you was how high the cost
in the number of friends or the limb that you lost

memories you buried they creep in your brain
when the pills and the bottle stop dulling the pain

chorus

you were so young how could you have known
the nightmares and memories would follow you home

used and forgotten now you will never be whole
the things you have seen left a stain on your soul

you sit in the dark with your thoughts all alone
in one hand a pistol the other a phone

chorus

repeat first 2 lines
