It's the Blues

[The Gobi Desert Canoe Club]

Hi all, Mrs Willie is out in the garden enjoying this fine weather so what better opportunity than to get a guitar out and noodle for a couple of hours (well about 5 actually). So here it is, hope you enjoy...........Willie

Words:- As always this is what I meant to sing but may not be what was sung!!

I played it short, I played it long
I played it right and I played it wrong
But whatever way you say it
Whatever way you play it, it's the blues
But whatever way you say it
Whatever way you play it, it's the blues

I played it hard, I played it soft
I played it found and I played it lost
But whatever way you say it
Whatever way you play it, it's the blues
But whatever way you say it
Whatever way you play it,it's the blues

Chorus

There ain't no magic potion
No secret magic lotion
That can ease the blues
There ain't no incantation
That can pacify the nation
If you got the blues

Verse 1, Inst, Chorus, Verse 2

[chip withrow]

I dig the twin leads - reminds me of one of my favorites, the Allman Bros. Nice vocal, too. And I like the minor-chord grittiness.

Thanks for the comments guys, it was a bit of a thrash but I was experimenting with the twin leads. Les Warner wants me to add some guitar to one of his songs. By the way Chip, I bought Gregg Allmans latest CD and even T-Bone Burnett couldn't weave his magic on it in my opinion but perhaps I was expecting to much............Willie
