Guitar vocals and organ work great while the bass and drums  keep it moving along nice.

a real cracker Tig  you should write in this style more often

OUTRAGE - Original song written by myself.

My entry for Chordies FSOTM (Featured Song Of The Month). One of the words this month was Outrage.  We had to perform a song with the word Outrage somewhere in the lyrics.  I wrote this song for it.

OUTRAGE
This old World of ours, it certainly is a changing.
Through the times, Stone, Iron and Middle Ages,
The Industrial age and, so it goes on and on.
We human beings, keep growing and a changing.
Babyhood, childhood, teenage years, (they come of age),
Middle age and old age, forever graduating.

People living out their lives,
Some easily, some in strife.
Some struggling to make a buck,
Some just down on their luck.
Living on a basic wage,
They feel the pressure and the disengage.

CHORUS:
Frustration, unrest,
Outrage and very stressed,
Sometimes seems our worlds a mess. (REPEAT Chorus)

There`s actors backstage, practicing their lines,
Rehearsing off stage, they change, ready to engage.
The times are a changing, people out on the streets,
Angry mogs, protestors, wanting free speech.

CHORUS:
Frustration, unrest,
Outrage and very stressed,
Sometimes seems our worlds a mess. (REPEAT Chorus)

Among the many things, there’s public outrage.
Over Governments far reach,
Some want to impeach.
Media downplays, some of it on the world stage.

People all over, in angry rage,
They wonder what’s next, what new plague.
Others not so bothered, others not even fazed.

CHORUS:
Frustration, unrest,
Outrage and very stressed,
Sometimes seems, our worlds a mess. (REPEAT Chorus)

OUTRO:
Frustration, outrage,
Frustration, outrage ……..

OUTRAGE

A song that I wrote - not originally a blues song, but I changed it - just thought it was a better fit.  I am not a musical performer, so it's a little rough but you get the jist of it.  I think with  actual  blues musician(s)  playing it - it would be pretty good. These are the lyrics and chords.

Astral Dream Woman Blues
 

Verse 1
.

[E]A butterfly vision with lovely soft wings [E]etched with free spirits like cosmic stars   
Yeah, she[A] lived by her own rules, made no excuses [E]kept no secrets, just followed her heart   
With her[B7] head filled with dreams, no boundaries, no fear
and a [A] siren's song in her heart, that only I can [E]hear  

Verse 2
.
[E] A free soul filled with love and passion, [E]like a rhapsody played just right
with a [A]smile that lit up any room, like the [E] moon as an enchanted night 
yeah a [B7] dreamer dancing with magical steps
She’s the[A] kind of woman you never can for[E]get 
.
Verse 3

[E] all I've got are these mystical memories. to [E]keep my hopes alive  
Like the [A]stars shining in the sky above, I can [E] still see her pretty eyes
with her [B7]  kisses so warm, my troubles just melted away  
oh ya' [A] know I miss her, every second of every [E] day
.

Verse 4

[E] this astral dream woman, the love of my life, [E]her love sparks burned my soul
In the [A] silence of the night, I still fight back [E] the tears I can’t control
But these [B7] ecstasy winds are blowing across the sea
And I [A] still hear her sweet, sweet voice that brings her back to [E] me

with her [B7] gentle kisses so warm, troubles melt away  
And I  [A] know I miss her, every second of every [E] day

.
outgo- slower

oh these [B7] ecstasy winds are blowing across the sea
And I [A] still hear her sweet, sweet voice that brings her back....
yeah, they bring her back, 

yeah, they bring back my astral dream woman to [E]me

Astral Dream Woman Blues

These are the chords and lyrics
Apologies for my singing and playing. :) 

Verse 1
.
[D]it’s time to take me home boys, guess I’ve had too much to [G]drink
it’s [A] time to take me home boys, my mind's too numb to [D]think
[D] Memories keep coming back, and so do all of the [G]tears
It’s [A]time to take me home boys, I've still [G]loved her, all these [D]years
.
Verse2
.

[D]it’s time to take me home boys, another night I end up [G]alone
It’s [A] time to take me home boys, her heart, must be made of [D] stone

but, it’s [A] time to take me home boys, I'm still [G]longing for her[D] touch.
.
Chorus
.
Seems [G]love always does just what it wants [D]hearts aren't always true
I’m [A] stuck with a love that never was, and it’s [G]got me feelin’ [D] blue
oh, I [G]can’t just start over 'cause I [D]don't know where to start.
I [A]guess that’s what happens, when [G]someone breaks your [D]heart.
yeah, I [A]guess that’s what happens, when [G]someone breaks your [D]heart..
.

Verse 3
[D]it’s time to take me home boys, ya' know It's getting kind of [G]late 
it’s [A]time to take me home boys, blame it on a twist of [D]fate 
[D] ain’t no sense holding onto a happiness I never [G] had
It’s [A]time to take me home boys, that last [G] song's got me feeling [D]sad
.
Verse 4
 [D] it’s time to take me home boys, this hurting has got to [G]end  
My [A] tears can't keep falling and this heartache's got to[D] mend 
[D]  I tried my best to have her love me, but it just wasn’t meant to [G]be
it’s [A] time to take me home boys, still my [G]heart and set it [D]free.
.
.
Chorus
.
Seems [G]love always does just what it wants [D]hearts aren't always true
I’m [A] stuck with a love that never was, and it’s [G]got me feelin’ [D] blue
oh, I [G]can’t just start over 'cause I [D]don't know where to start.
I [A]guess that’s what happens, when [G]someone breaks your [D]heart.
yeah, I [A]guess that’s what happens, when [G]someone breaks your [D]heart..
.

.
oh, I [G]can’t just start over 'cause I [D]don't know where to start.
I [A]guess that’s what happens, when [G]someone breaks your [D]heart.
yeah, I [A]guess that’s what happens, when [G]someone breaks your [D]heart..

Just A Rumor – Jeff Gilpin – 8/10/2023

Introduction – C / C / F / F X2
  
[Am]Waking up late
Go for a walk
Down by the lake
Sit there and talk
Out to the water
Out to the air
Doesn’t really matter
No one's there

Repeat intro C / C / F / F X2

[Am]Come back home
Coffee to make
Try not to spill it or
Make a mistake
Get it all started
Sit for a spell
Nothing to worry about
All is well

Repeat intro C / C / F / F X2 plus G at the end

[Em]As time passes on
I'm settling on in
Life's full of Changes
From the beginning to end
People cross our path
Then go away
I think about them all
Here comes another day

Repeat Intro C / C / F / F X2

[Am]Getting used to
Changing times
World keeps spinning
Like repeated rhymes
Time’s a great
Equalizer
As I get older
Not much wiser

Repeat Intro C / C / F / F X2

[Am]Out with the old
In with the new
All folks still
Need something to do
I'm watching it all
With commentary
See lots of wicked
Not a lot of wary

Repeat intro C / C / F / F X2 plus G on the end

[Em]I’m just over here
Seeing where we go
Life-like forecast
Not a lot of snow
I'll keep on grinning
Though not a lot of humor
“Hey, I heard you retired?”
“Ah, that’s just a rumor.”
Outro (Intro chords) C / C / F / F X2 G C
