Topic: Hard Rain - Beamer & Jet60's First

Scott emailed me about a week ago with this song idea and we worked at it together and came up with what you see here. I just sent Scott a scratch of how I play it acoustically and I can't wait to his electric version. I think it turned out great. It sure has a much more edgy style than my normal Folk/Americana stuff.

Hard Rain Words by Scott Sailer and Jeff Gilpin - Arrangement by Jeff Gilpin


June 27, 2013




[Dm]Hard rain on a sunny day


[F]there aint no [G]rainbow


[Dm] that can make me smile today [C] [G]



[Dm]Looking for that pot of gold


[F]has worn me [G]out


[Dm]its making me old [C] [G]



[Bb]Taking my mind on a [A]trip


to where Ill [Dm]feel no pain


[Bb ]taking my mind some[G]where


so I wont [A]go in[A7]sane.




[Dm]Nothing in my rear view


[F]Less up a [G]head


[Dm]No direction to cling to [C] [G]



[Dm]Want to travel far away


[F]Escape my [G]life


[Dm]But I’m just bone weary today [C] [G]



[Bb]Taking my mind on a [A]trip


to where Ill [Dm]feel no pain


[Bb] taking my mind some [G]where


so I won’t [A]go in[A7]sane….[Dm7]

Re: Hard Rain - Beamer & Jet60's First

a lot of rock comes from folk/country just listen to the eagles. so i'm waiting with baited breath for a recording...should be good if the words and chording are anything to go by

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

Ark, If you PM me your E-mail, I will send you the alt version from Jeff's that I have in mind. (Hold on to your hat,, we are talking about the metalizer here LOLOLOL)  I have a scratch that Jerome has tweaked a bit.  I think we could honestly call our team writing as "Two sides of the Coin Productions" LOLOL Hey! That might be something to think about!
