Topic: Song I wrote - Inspired by Russell
I listened to Russell and his boys play the song Pawnee Creek ( no lyrics).
I could not get that out of my head for about two days.
I wrote these lyrics to it and finally added some chords.
I could never be able to play like those guys bc I'm not a very good musician so I just tried to give it a fast rhytym like their song was.
Anyway here it is.
I put my capo on 4th fret
Pawnee Creek by Jim Kenyon
Verse 1
.
[Em]up in the Northland near Pawnee creek
met me a woman made my knees grow weak
I fell so hard I nearly lost my mind
[B7]made me feel so good, then she[Am] left me be[Em]hind
Verse 2
.
[Em]we shared a cabin down by Pawnee creek
I fell in love for about a week
she was a hard luck woman with killer eyes
[B7]her bed was warm, but her [Am]heart was full of[Em] lies
.
Chorus
[Am]oh Pawnee Creek, Pawnee Creek
[Em]Yeah Pawnee Creek, Pawnee creek
[Am]where the water flows and the eagles fly
[B7]mystery and shadows ‘neath a [Am]pale moon [Em]sky
[Am]oh Pawnee Creek,such a pretty name
[Em]Pawnee creek, never leave you the same
[Am] sure ain’t no place for the mild or meek
[B7]oh how I miss that woman from [Am]Pawnee [Em]Creek
.
Verse 3
.
[Em]Up in the tall pines near Pawnee creek
I still hear her voice, though she doesn’t speak
Oh, We loved, we loved,and we loved some more
[B7]but then that witchy woman snuck [Am] out the [Em]door
.
Chorus
[Am]oh Pawnee Creek, Pawnee Creek
[Em]Yeah Pawnee Creek, Pawnee creek
[Am]where the water flows and the eagles fly
[B7]mystery and shadows ‘neath a [Am]pale moon [Em]sky
[Am]oh Pawnee Creek,such a pretty name
[Em]Pawnee creek, never leave you the same
[Am] sure ain’t no place for the mild or meek
[B7]oh how I miss that woman from [Am]Pawnee [Em]Creek
[B7]oh how I miss that woman
[B7]oh how I miss that woman
[B7]oh how I miss that woman ..........
from [Am]Pawnee [Em]Creek
end with a walk down B string 2nd fret, B string open, G string 2nd fret, G string open, to EM strum
The price of anything, is the amount of life you exchange for it. - H.D. Thoreau
Your vision is not limited by what your eye can see, but what your mind can imagine.
Make your life count, and the world will be a better place because you tried.
"Use the talents you possess, for the woods would be very silent if no birds sang except only the the best." - Henry Van Dyke
