I Am A Tumble Weed Old Country/Western Style (with Chords)

[Jonnyabc 0]

I am a tumbleweed

 

Play with off-beat casual country/western style on guitar...Not a fast song.

 

 

Dm.............C

---------------------

 

...G7........C.........F C

-----------------

 

C...................................C7

Oh how a tumbleweed,

 

....................F...................Dm

Rolls 'round with its seed,

 

.....................C

From desert plain to plain,

 

.......................G7

Never ceasing to refrain.

 

.....................C...............C7

What sort of life is this?

 

..................F...............Dm

It seems so full of bliss.

 

.............C

And so it is indeed,

 

...G7.......C........F C

A tumbleweed.

 

 

 

C............................C7

I am a tumbleweed,

 

.......................F................Dm

Never staying long to see,

 

......................C

What one like me can do;

 

..............G7

I like to rush on through.

 

.............C.........................C7

I roam around the towns,

 

.................F.................Dm

To gather only frowns,

 

.............C

For I'm without a doubt,

 

...G7.........C.........F C...........A7

A tumbleweed.

 

 

D...................................D7

Don't be a tumbleweed,

 

.....................G...........Em

They are too hurried,

 

....................D

They rarely, stop to rest,

 

......................A7

A ghost town is their best.

 

...................D...................D7

No wisdom will they gain,

 

.........................G................Em

Their wants will ne'er attain,

 

....................D

Don't be like this, I plead:

 

...A7........D.........G...Gm......D...

A tumbleweed.

I like the lyrics a lot. I can't read music though so I can't really get a beat down or anything. Anyways it sounds like a good song if the acoustics or whatever is as good as the lyrics. If they are 4 stars I really like how you compare yourself to a tumble weed its really creative. It says a lot too. I love it!

Why, thank you very much! I appreciate the comment. By the way, I can't read music either, but chords are easy enough to figure out.

Thanks for making me feel cool. Yea I can't read them, but I have had no experience with playing music what so ever. I almost want you too make a video playing this song. Or just like record it if you don't want to go on video.

I suppose I could upload it to TinyPic and link it here...don't think there'll be a big issue with that since I don't earn anything in this forum anyways...stay tuned!
