You might get a bit more feedback if you actually tabbed it out or explained in English what you're trying to do - ie, "song's in open G tuning, sliding up to the fifth....etc etc.....

I'm not being sarcastic at all, I for one can't read music - so notes on a scale might as well be Sanskrit to me. If you could somehow simplify the arrangement - and I know tab doesn't give any timing - it'd help.

As for adding lyrics - well, tell us more about the MOOD of the song - sad blues? upbeat blues? something inbetween?

More info needed.....

:D :D :D

It's defently upbeat blues and I don't know how to tab music. I can only read and write music.

Fair enough....are you thinking a George Thorogood type of song? That's the first thing that comes to my head when I think "upbeat blues, open G" ......

Still need more info!

:D :D :D

Well, start it off and some of us will jump in and add our 2 cents.
I listened to both songs you referred to:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=r_ZVrR6lD4s
The lyrics don't have to rhyme which makes it easier.
Just basically telling a story so . . .

What's the theme?

Your woman dumped you?
You dumped your woman?
She cheated on you?
You cheated on her?
You have a drinking problem but enjoy the problem?
Life sucks but you're going to stay til the end anyway? (Ewww I like that one!)

Let's get started!

It's the rock that gives the stream its music . . . and the stream that gives the rock its roll.

I have no idea where we're going but I'm putting the key in the ignition and turning it.
I'm trusting someone to steer and the mods to apply the brakes.

Sometimes life has a way of kickin' ya
When you're already down
But I ain't going to take it
I'm going to kick right back

Ya know life is a craps game
Sometimes ya get a seven
But I ain't gambling with ya baby
I'm a sure thing

You can bet on me babe
You could do worse
I may be down right now
But I'm getting back up

(just listening to some JLH and typing)
Where is Scrybe when I need her? (sigh) Women

It's the rock that gives the stream its music . . . and the stream that gives the rock its roll.

OK, everybody off this bus!
Apparently a pack rat woman takes precedence over a down and out guy.
I don't think JLH would agree but . . .
Get off the bus!
We aint going nowhere!
I rolled a seven.

I did have an idea about an girlfriend but if I wrote it about her then she would want to come back to me and I don't want her back.

Here is the link to the lyrics I had to come with....

I don't know if the lyrics fit's the song it self.

the power of a song....
