ALL THESE STORIES JOE LAWLER

All these stories all these tunes
Baby hasn't cried hasn't seen the moon
You can't hide from the light
Even when it comes at night

We don't candlelight to see the notes
For the full moon is pulling on men in boats
The sonata was written in dim light
So we could see the moon in his sight

All these stories all these songs
The sun never goes down the earth has it right
I don't believe we have it wrong
In all these stories all these songs

All these stories all these tunes
Mama went out and located the moon
It does no good to blame
Baby hasn't cried she feels the same
For all these stories all these tunes
Baby someday gonna see the moon

The man who thinks he knows everything
Has got alot to learn
The waves are coming in the boats will return
All these stories all these tunes
We don't need candlelight for we have the moon
The moon is pulling boats upon this ocean in June


formatting fixed. JoeClone

You want to be using <BR> rather than <B>!  Do you have a tune for this, or any background info?

Dear Malcolm Sorry about the rather than the rather new to this. I do have the chords and the notes. I wanted to see if there was any interest as far as the lyric went. I can include the chords, but I do not have the software for the notes.

Gypsy I do not know what the ABC format is I can redo it and put the chords with the song or if you can tell me how the ABC format works I would be glad to do it. I traced the ABC format back and it sounds interesting. I will trace it back further when I have more time.......

Amergin I can send the chords to Gypsy if Gypsy can get ahold of me. I am sure this computer could not handle the ABC format anyway for it has a hard time staying online. Java keeps tripping it up or it keeps tripping java up who knows.....

Any competent guitar player should be able to work out chords for the melody if they had it, but it would be a bit of a challenge for anyone to deduce what the tune might be from a set of guitar chords!  If you have staff notation for the tune, there are plenty of people here who could make a midi and/or abc file out of it, so that others could hear what it sounds like.  I'll do it if nobody else offers.  If you like, send me an image file of the notation; malcolm_k_douglas@yahoo.co.uk
