Hello again,
It's great to see this forum alive and well - I posted a song here once, long ago - and then made a mistake. I didn't think I was good enough so I went off to "learn the guitar better".
Well, that has definitely happened (with quite a bit of thanks to DHODGE and his lessons!), I've got enough theory in me now to construct a decent (and maybe different) chord progression. But I definitely could've kept the creative juices flowing more by hanging out in this forum more often.
Oh well, enough of that. No time to start like the present. I woke this morning not able to get the "first line" out of my head. After a couple cups of coffee this what I have.
I'm thinking something a little haughty or sad - C , Bm7, Am7. I know this is a little weird but I'm trying out that theory stuff: fingerpicking style
(The lady who is angy is the sea)
OFF AGAIN
C----------------------------------- Bm7
I was packing my bag when the phone rang
C---------------------------Bm7
I didn't want to say good bye
C-------------------------Bm7
They're calling me to meet them again
Am7----------------------------Bm7
Where the precipice meets the sky
I'm tossed and turned like a toy ship
She must be angry as hell
I stole my soul from her last time
Now she won't be so kind
Am7-----------------Bm7
Sailing again to a new world
Am7----------------------------------Bm7
Don't know what's wrong with the old
Am7------------------------Bm7
I'll come back again to have you my love
-------------C-----------Bm7
If she doesn't win my soul
C----------------------------------- Bm7
I was packing my bag when the phone rang
C---------------------------Bm7
I didn't want to say good bye
C-------------------------Bm7
They're calling me to meet them again
Am7----------------------------Bm7
Where the precipice meets the sky
(cycle through the chords again and there you have it).
I'd love to know what you think, I'm a big guy, I can take it :lol: - I know I'm kind of late on this one but thanks for letting me tag along :!:

Welcome Back,
I like this. The chord progression is indeed haughty and suits the lyrics well.
One line:
They're calling me to meet them again
This seems to be a little cumbersome but you may have it worked out
with the rhythm you have in mind.
Looking forward to more
John
Yeah - I agree. After coming back a couple hours later to read the lyrics again I find a few things I would change about it. That's what I get for rushing.
Thanks!
