Topic: My Song

Okay this is not just another title i made up cuz i didnt have one, this one actually ties into the song.....
I havent taken the time to work out the chord pattern yet but it has kind of climbing and rising feeling, like its building up as it goes. It should probly have a real awesome solo at the end but then i couldnt write one if i tried..... consider this a short definiton of me smile

My Song


FIRST PART

I aint never had much money

Dont count on making too much more

been times i laughed like it was funny

over things worth crying for


i dont know what happened

to my tender days

i guess i spent them well enough

that they went away


- chorus-

so call me what you want to

but this free bird cannot change

and you can push your music down my throat

but my song stays the same

(second time - 'and it goes like this', ---go into dixie anthem, and then a solo would be nice lol---

SECOND PART

Ive been told plenty what im not

And i know what most folks think i am

Ive kneeled before the saviour

and ive shook the devils hand



but ive got Jesus in my spirit

and dixie in my bones

ive got a pair of wore out ramblin' shoes

but i also have a home*







*i might change this to 'but i know where to call home'.... noy sure yet so opinions on that would be appreciated

Re: My Song

thanks yall for the compliments smile
Yes I think its pretty obvious im a big skynyrd fan, i hope it doesn't sound like too much of a rip-off, i cant stand it when people mention songs/artists just because they can't think of anything else to say. I did it because it just fit, not as an attempt to make my song sound cool....
anyway thanks again for the kind words, they're very encouraging

Re: My Song

last_rebel,
Great song.
Don't change a thing.
No it don't sound like a rip-off of another song.
Can't wait to here it being played.

If you're not happy with what you have...
Then you'll never be happy with what you get...

No need to be harsh. You said in your first couple post's that
you were a huge fan of said group. Thats what I was refering to.I can think of all kinds of things to say.

Badeye.

Re: My Song

Hey Rebel,

I like your lyrics but my guitar is screaming at me to play it. I have told her to be patient and wait for you to give us the chords.

So when are you going to let me satisfy her? lol

Nice work so far.

Re: My Song

Last Rebel - I like it well enough that I'm not going to wait for you to put up chords.  I expect that'd be the kind thing to do, but I don't expect you're ever going to hear me play it whether right or wrong (but little would please me more).  Besides, there's a long tradition in Country music of stealing one another's songs and putting your own tune or chords to it. 

Great lyrics.  Thanks for sharing.

Re: My Song

Very nicely said, last_rebel!  Some beautifully-turned phrases in the lyric.  I'm imagining the tune being sort of a dramatic waltz thing.  Looking forward to seeing the chords.  James
