Topic: Wrong lyrics

In some of the songs I've viewed I've noticed that some of the lyrics are wrong. How can I correct this? The one that stands out the most(since it is one of my most favorite) is John Andersons I've Got It Made. In the second verse, I think it's the third line it says "just give me a capo and a shadey spot to sit". Sorry but this is wrong.It is supposed to to say," just give me a cane pole and a shadey spot to sit". It is supposed to refer to a lazy day fishing. This is a common mistake as I have noticed it on other sites as well.

Re: Wrong lyrics

Hi Jim and welcome to Chordie,

Chordie is a search engine so no songs are hosted here, they are located in other sites. However you are able to correct errors that you find.

If you go to the song in question and look at the bottom of the page, on the right, in green, it says 'Correct Song'. If you click on this it takes you to a page where you can edit and add to the song. When you have corrected the song it will appear with a message that you have improved the song.

I would always recommend that you add the song to your Songbook first and do all the editing and additions there. This gives you the time to check that all your changes are correct and to see how your changes will appear to everyone else. When you are happy you can 'copy' your corrected version from your Songbook and 'paste' it to the one with errors from the listings.
