Description: Anugust's 'Song of the Month' for Chordie. Yet another song has been chosen that I have never heard before but what the heck it is all for a bit of fun.

Nice one Roger I like the way you made it into more of a ballad. A big round of applause from down here in NZ.

Great cover Roger, very relaxing & easy listening, I like the added verses as well :)

Make It Rain

This song was written by me for Chordies, Jandle aka Kiki Jan with Robbie Caravano playing acoustic guitar for me on the tricky bits. Just recorded with my cellphone. Crickets hanging around making some of the other noises.

Welcome Back

Hello Chordie, to the tune of Hello Dolly by Louis Armstrong.  We had to do a song on FSOTM (featured song of the month) for Chordie with a song using the the word Hello, or Welcome back.  This was my last minute attempt as today was the last day of the month.  Lyrics changed to fit the occasion on Chordie.

Hello Chordie

Welcome Back Jan

FUN FOR ME AND JEB

Shake That Isolation Blues - Lyrics by Brian Meynell

The lyrics to this song are written by Brian Meynell during the lock down period.   Brian sent me the lyrics and asked me to attempt it, he suggested blues style and see what I could come up with.  Here is my interpretation of his song Blues style. 

NOTE:  I did muck up at the very end of the song unfortunately with the  strumming but it was late and I was to tired to re-do it.

To Lose Is to Gain by Jeff Gilpin 8/16/2020

Verse chords Em – G D – Em – G D Em – Chorus Chords – D Em – G D - Em – G D Em
~
To [Em]lose is to gain
Lose your [G]anger lose your [D]pain
[Em]Then begin again 
[G]Then be[D]gin a[Em]gain [D]
~
I [Em]set upon a path I know
On a late summer’s [D]day
The [G]skies were cloudy overcast
But I [D]thought it’d be okay
I was [Em]geared for frugality
To keep my burden [D]light
The [G]hike would be a short one
And I’d [D]try with [G]all my [Em]might
~
To lose is to gain
Lose your anger lose your pain
Then begin again 
Then begin again
~
‘Twas my first in a long while
I was recovering
A minor illness had kept
The wind from my wings
But I held my resolve
And back on my feet I climbed
To start a new beginning
And to catch back up with time
~
To lose is to gain
Lose your anger lose your pain
Then begin again 
Then begin again
~
A sprinkle felt from time to time
But it never soaked me wet
I kept my feet a moving
On my journey tryin’ to get
Tryin’ to get me back upon my feet
And put the past behind
‘Cause life is life that’s what it is
And all you’ve got is time
~
To lose is to gain
Lose your anger lose your pain
Then begin again 
Then begin again
~
My journey was a short one
But a step upon my path
To lead to where it led me
For my reward or wrath
I made to the other side
No prize for me await
Just the prize to keep on going
As I tried to remake.
~
To lose is to gain
Lose your anger lose your pain
Then begin again 
Then begin again
~
My lesson was an easy one
That I already knew
But needed the reminding
Like the tying of my shoe
When life knocks you down at times
You can lay down and die
Or get yourself back up again 
And give it another try
~
To lose is to gain
Lose your anger lose your pain
Then begin again 
Then begin again
