Topic: Fun For Jeb And Me

This is a bit of fun to help me relax. it's on soundclick, so click the link at the bottom and then click my name under my photo. There's another two new recordings there too!

Fun For Me and Jeb.Undefined


[C] Well my teeth don't fit and my eyes don't go.


I walk with a limp and my butt is sore.


My [C7] lights are on but there's no one home [F] today.


And the [Fm] girls round here dont want to come and [C] play.


So I [Dm7] know, [G] I'll have to [C] go.




[C] I had new shoes two years ago.


The heel's worn flat and the soles got holes.


And my [C7] hair looks like it needs a damn good [F] wash.


I got [Fm] one front tooth and my eyes are [C] crossed.


So I [Dm7] know, [G] I've got to [C] go.


(chorus)




[F] Back to the swamp in the [Am] middle of the woods.


Where the [F] buzzards eat what the [C] gators leave.


And the [F] girls all look the [Am] same as Jeb and [G] me.


There's [F] holes in your shoes and there's [Am] holes in your clothes.


There's a [F] hole in the swamp where the [C] tax men go.


And the [F] moonshine burns a [Am] hole right through your [G] head.


Like I [F] said, [Fm] Fun for me and [C] Jeb..



Well my [C] pants dont reach down to my feet.


And my armpits dont smell all that sweet.


But that [C7] dont mean so much to Sue and [F] Pearl.


They [Fm] dont wash so much as city [C] girls.


So I [Dm7] know, [G] I've got to [C] go.




(SOLO OVER VERSE CHORDS)


(repeat chorus]


So [C] here we go got mud on my face.


And my shirt's tied up with an old boot lace.


And [C7] Sue's with Jeb and I'm with [F] Pearl.


[Fm] City life's no life for [C] me.


So I [Dm7] know, [G] I've got to [C] go.


[Am] So I [Dm7] know, [G] this is [C] home.


[Am] Yes I [Dm7] know, [G] I've got to [C] go.

Hi Phill

Just had a read and a listen to "Fun for Jeb and Me"

It's easy to hear you had fun with this one...it really comes across in the recording.
Well Done on the mix and the vocals (as usual)

Now... Sleeping Princess... that is a beautiful song. You have got to be proud of that one for sure.
I had to listen to it twice for the lyrics. Sweet song my Welsh Friend. Any chance your gonna post the lyrics.

Re: Fun For Jeb And Me

Hiyah  and thanks,

Daddy,

Glad you like it, you were in the back of my mind as I wrote this. COOL IT BABY!

Hi KajiMa,

No problemo amigo, if you want to cover it I would be over joyed, I'd love to hear the result though. Songs are meant to be played and shared, and there's no buzz like what you get hearing someone else singing your words.

Hey Kenny,

Always great to hear from you, I thought I had posted "Princess" I shall check and if I haven't I shall rectify the situation ASAP.
"Fading Away" is an old song, at least 30 years old and it's about a young lady I knew just after I got divorced, but before I met Ann. It's funny how relationships just sort of fade out like a pop song?

Hi Ark,

Thank you for the kind words. "Princess" is a bit of a fantasy thing. I think about certain people when I write, and I know Lena is into this type of thing, and she was on my mind when I was writing. Hope she's doing OK.

Phill
