'DIY' - Greeny Original

[Greeny]

Is it Monday morning again already?!

In anticipation of a new 'DIY' board, a song about having to do it all yourself  

All done on the MBR with acoustic guitar, acoustic slide, telecaster, & bass.

Lyrics:

Our lead guitarist hit the bottle and fell through the floorboard cracks
Our drummer took the midnight train and he aint coming back
Our piano player crushed his hands in an elevator door
I guess it's time to face the truth – this aint a band no more

But I'm not going to cry
I'll just wave the boys goodbye
And after all's been said and done,
I'll try some DIY
I'll try some DIY

Our bass man chased a girl to Reno and quit the band for love
And then our sax guy pawned his horn for some furniture and stuff
The backing singer had to scram when the cops smashed down her door
I guess it's time to face the truth – this aint a band no more

But I'm not going to cry
I'll just wave the boys goodbye
And after all's been said and done,
I'll try some DIY
I'll try some DIY

Pack up your troubles in an old kit bag
And try some DIY

I love it Tim, it's got some great humour, a fabulous lyric.

I love the bass, and it's all pure Greeny. I'm glad I know Green Mondays.  Those are the best Mondays.

Monday ! It get's a whole new dimension when a Green song is there to greet you !!

I must admit had a little Deja Vu experience on the opening chords ... couldn't place it at once but then I found it https://songcrafters.org/community/index.php?topic=6206.0 ... well it was completely different, but there was a good reason I had this flashback I guess

Fabulous song Tim !!

ahhhhh, thats a style of music I like.  Country tinged folk......I really love this.  Your voice is outstanding man.  You have completely blown me away with this and your other song the other day.....Really fine feeling here.  Damn what a bass line.

[64Guitars]

Great song!  I love DIY and I love Green Mondays.

[Kenny B]

Great tune!!!  Always so much feeling in your songs.

Your voice and guitars are always so fluently connected
... and your bass playing is so excellent ... can't really say enough.

Always a pleasurable listen.
