How Many Times?Undefined



[D]2 bar intro




Verse 1




[D]How many times,


[G]Must we stand tall?


[D]When you kick us to the [A]ground,


[D]How many times,


[G]Will you take us for the fool?


[D]And keep our hands-a-[A]bound,




Verse 2




[D]How many times,


[G]Must we have to fight?


[D]When you know that fighting’s [A]wrong,


[D]How many times,


[G]Will you steal away that right?


[D]Make believe that you are [A]strong.




Bridge




This is my [F#m]life, and I’ll choose how to [Bm]live it,


[Em]All I want is to be [A]free,


This is my [F#m]life and I’ll choose how to [Bm]give it,


[Em]You can't take that away from [A]me.




How many [D]times,


How many [G]times,


How many [D]times, Must we [A]fall?


How many [D]times,


How many [G]times,



How many [D]times, Must we [A]fall?


Verse3




[D]How many times,


[G]Will you spill my blood?


[D]In the name of liber[A]ty,


[D]How many times,


[G]Will you hide the truth from us?


[D]Make us so blind that we can’t [A]see.




Bridge repeat




This is my [F#m]life, and I’ll choose how to [Bm]live it,


[Em]All I want is to be [A]free,


This is my [F#m]life and I’ll choose how to [Bm]give it,


[Em]You can't take that away from [A]me.




How many [D]times,


How many [G]times,


How many [D]times, Must we [A]fall?


How many [D]times,


How many [G]times,


How many [D]times, Must we [A]fall?


How many [D]times,


How many [G]times,


How many [D]times, Must we [A]fall?


How many [D]times,


How many [G]times,


How many [D]times, Must we [A]fall?


[A]Must we [D]fall?

Hi ctech, I just checked your link and it worked OK for me. Nice work on this. I've wondered the same thing myself many times....How Many Times.

Welcome to Chordie. I will have a listen to your other tunes a bit later.

Thanks Again and I look forwards to more from you.

Re: How many times? a simple song i wrote about freedom

I think the title needs to be on its own line. Does that make sense? And at the bottom the [/song] needs to be on its own line as well. I think, not for sure. I tried your link and it worked for me, go figure. My computers acting weird theses days.

Re: How many times? a simple song i wrote about freedom

Hi ctech, Check out the sticky at the top on how to post songs.
Selso is right that each command must be on its own line .
Hope it helps

Kenny

Hey Selso...Do you have a female computer? (just kidding folks)

Re: How many times? a simple song i wrote about freedom

Hi ctech
and welcome.

I dont know if you have read this  http://www.chordie.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=1957
but that tells you exactly how to post things that will show in chopro form.


if you need any help on this a moderator should be able to do this easy.

Re: How many times? a simple song i wrote about freedom

Trevor, make sure the curly brackets {} and the square brackets [] are in the proper place. It's not uncommon to put one in the wrong spot or get them mixed up.
When doing Chopro there should be no spaces between brackets and command.
Check to make sure this isn't the case.

Hope this helps

Kenny

Re: How many times? a simple song i wrote about freedom

Hi Trevor. I don't know if the latest post is the fixed one. If it is take out {st for raw copy} and leave without brackets.
Simply type in verse 1 or 2 for verse no brackets and {} with soc inbetween brackets to start chorus and {} eoc betweem brackets for end of chorus. No spaces

The st:B1 and st:a1 is screwing up the formating for you.
Hope this does it for you

Re: How many times? a simple song i wrote about freedom

Just a quick one if you remove the spaces between the letters from the first bracketed song at the top then the chopro will work also keep the link for the song out of the chopro format and put it in the description..

Re: How many times? a simple song i wrote about freedom

Hey Ctech and welcome to Chordie!

Some good songs! cool

Other people know much more about Chopro than I do, but I would move the link out of the song structure (either before [s o n g] or after [/ s o n g])

Also, if after submitting this, the spaces between the letters within the square brackets stop "or after" from becoming Chopro format then I would remove the spaces in the word "song" right at the top!

Re: How many times? a simple song i wrote about freedom

hi trevor,

it seems to be a bit of a theme lately, we all seem to be asking why the man sends our sons and daughters to die for a cause we dont understand.

a lovely song and i love the way you've recorded it.

welcome to chordie by the way, not many manage to work chopro first time.

i dont have time now but i intend to listen to all your songs

phill

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.
