slow pick 1 2 &a feels like st james infirmary...
Em D Am /b C /d /e x3
Em D C B7
Em /f# G /a /b C B7 x4 (chorus)
she left me standing by the ocean
with my suitcase in my hand
the waves pounding like thunder
my heart sinking in the sand
chorus
and i can't stop these tears from falling down
they're coming down like rain
i'd cry an ocean and in it i'd drown
if it could wash away the pain
far off in the distance
i see a couple by the shore
once we were them but never again
this it is and nothing more
chorus
so i guess she's going home now
and i'll go back to my hotel
pick up my guitar and start singing
the blues like blind willie mctell
chorus
hm its short and to the point....and i think i like it!
aww shucks :oops:
you know those smileys to the left when you start a thread or response? i'll star writing a song, get halfway through, and zone out for ten minutes just watching them flicker.
which has nothing to do with anything, i guess...
I liked this one. The rain like the tears is clever. I'm not very picky about songs, so I don't do good in improving them. Good song. Keep it up!
There's a thin fine line between hate and rage.
Now watch the line be crossed and break!
I get a real slow blues feeling from this....think it'd sound good played on slide....
Tried your chords, quite easy to fit them to the lyrics...
Good stuff!!!
:D :D :D

i just realised that the way i was playing it was a straight up rip off of karma police by radiohead. oops.
Nice bluesy tune, flows real nice. I agree with the rest--the dog :D
