There's a good song in there somewhere
By Graham Windle ©all rights reserved 10/02/2015

   E                                       A
As I'm getting older ,and my mind is getting slow,
   B                                           A                            E                 
sometimes it gets harder just to make it through the show.
   E
I take the stage, I strike a chord,
    A
a wave of applause is heard.
     B
There's a good song in there somewhere,
      A                  E
if I only knew the words. 
     E                                            A     
The second song goes better, the people start to warm,
     B                                      A                     E
I trip over the mic stand, and nearly break my arm.

We laugh it off, and shout out loud,
     A

“Its all part of the show”
    B

The audience think that its a stunt,
      A                      E
and no one needs to know.
      A                                                E
And now the show is ended, and the  songs have all been played.
     B
The encore is all over.
A                                 E
And the  audience gone away
A

All the  gear is  packed up
E

My music has been heard.
        B
There's a good song in there somewhere,
   A                      E
If I only knew the words

They only thing it's missing is at the end it says - " oh yeah, we were playing in the wrong bar smile

Good lyrices Graham - can't wait for the music

Re: There's a good song in there somewhere

Funny  you  should say  about  wrong  bar Jim last night  we  went  to  a speakers club I  got  up  and  the  way  I  introduced my  self  was a  great  ice breaker  I stood up  and  said   hello  good  evening   my name is  Graham and I'm an alcoholic ,whoops  sorry  wrong meeting ...... must have  been the  shortest  speech  ever    but  it  certainly  broke  the  ice .
Any way  re  the  song  I've  got  the first  two  verses  sorted  but the  last  verse  doesn't quite fit the  progression  so  I  need  to  re think it a  little  I'll  add the  chords  I  have in a minute or  two   but  the  last  verse  will have  to  wait  till  tomorrow .

Re: There's a good song in there somewhere

I see a lot of me in your song, Graham, and like Tig, I can't wait to hear it when it's finished, my friend! Great job and congratulations!
