Title: People
Post by: Glenn Mitchell on March 18, 2011, 02:23:17 PM
This started as a cautionary tale to my 4 1/5 yr old granddaughter thinking how one day, too soon she will be dealing with  teenage testosterone charged males and their animal instincts. lol.

Chords stolen from another of my songs ("waiting for words")
Drums and bass by Boss DR808
Guitar-Yamaki acoustic
Synth- Gr20
Recorded to Korg D1200 ->
Micro Br for Mastering and MP3

People
(instrumental intro)
Ab- Fawns are kind of fragile
AM The donkey seems a fool
Gb -Elephants will not forget
B - and Cats are kind of cool

Gazelles are good at running
Owls seem so wise
The Coyote's kind of cunning
But man is good at lies

Ch
Db- But people, ..they don't
Gm-  always do what they say
A9 - You can choose to let them in
B -   or turn the other way.
Yeah people,.. they don't
always mean what they swear is so
You can choose to let them in
or you can let them go.

(instrument)
Pigs are kind of greedy
And the fox is sly
Dogs are kind of needy
But the lion has it's pride.

I've been told you can't trust
A weasel or a snake
And raccoon he's a bandit
and he's always on the take
ch, V, ch, fade

Always love your stuff Glenn, and this is top drawer as per usual.

That bass sounds so damn good, its gives the song a real funky flavour, and loving the synth additions too.

Fine work yet again, and the quality of your production gets me every time!
