Topic: when the devil sings

i wrote this song about 4 months ago, and ive found myself just letting it sit there, because i feel like its not finished yet. i play it really soft and smooth, alot of Em's and Am's...occasionally a B7. i kinda picture it being a real mellow solo acoustic guitar/harmonica type song.

any comments, suggestions, or general thoughts about this song would be appreciated...

"when the devil sings"

CAPO 2

CHORUS
Em            Am
cover your ears
Em                        B
so you wont hear a thing
Em                     Am
you dont want to hear
B7                  Em
when the devil sings

same chord progression throughout the song.

1st Verse
im facing a situation
i know this can go two ways
i dont want to make a decision
i'll regret all my days

CHORUS

2nd Verse
when the devil sings
it clouds up your mind
the answer to all of your questions
you might never find

so cover your ears
so you cant hear a thing
you dont want to hear
when your devil sings.

Re: when the devil sings

Re: when the devil sings

Hi Bryan,

A very good song for your first Chordie offering and even better for having a recording of it so we can hear the melody and how you intend it to be. Mind you the photo you sent to accompany it did not look much like the devil, perhaps he is in disguise lol

I hope there will be more songs to follow.

Thank you and well done.

Roger
