what are the chords u use sir

[baldycoup]

sounded great, perhaps just a bit too fast but really good anyway.

[SOULGIRL888]

:D ur awesomeeee :)

[CattleRustlerOCN]

you clearly can play guitar and sing, and you have great rythym - great job, seriously. one constructive criticism however... tune the guitar and learn the lyrics. Other than that, I enjoyed this.

[skipbo5]

@CattleRustlerOCN thanks,,,i was just learning this song it was 8 am in mexico. this was take one. i am a very lazy person by nature. i always think about redoing it in a more proper way. i was just amazed anyone would listen to it at all. i did finally learn the words and when i play live ii always make it a point to tune.thanks for your advice,,,i like people who tell it like it is.................skip

[TheSuiteQueen]

Hey Skip - you wouldn't happen to be the same Skip that was living in OC, NJ during the early '80's - would you - around 4th street - I think?! You look like him - and you sound like him - but it's been a couple of years! I'm 'Z' of Gretchen, Jenny, Wendy and 'Z' - you wrote a song about us once - way back when - (we spray painted it on a bridge in our home town)! Anyway - I go by Carolyn now - and I'd love to catch up - if you are you!? Either way - I give your Highwayman song a BIG thumbs up!

[passingphaseone]

Hey I heard you sing for that Florida band S2S years ago! Please come back to Fl !!!!

[alirussell111]

thanks for this mate i enjoyed it

[PeaceLeadsToLove]

could u possibly sent the chords for that ur awsome great cover

[skipbo5]

thanks so much. no i am starting out in Bm than A to G and back to Bm. next is A tO G to A than Em to Bm to A to G twice then Bm A then a fast G A D then a fast D G A and then i go to D and just play the scale on the first two strings decending. this is the first time i have ever written any chord changes down and my knowledge of written music is almost null. i just hope i could be of some help. thanks again. skip

[hoddy34]

Good job! I think you sounded more like Cash on his part than any of the other three Highwaymen. But you did well on all parts. Enjoyed it! =)

[vaccavo]

A very impressive song which came to me some months ago, only because I was seeing some videos by Prefab Sprout.

Anyone singing it makes it wonderful to hear! And that includes you, my friend!

[skipbo5]

eliane, i am always surprised at who hears and writes me about this song. thanks for being so nice, brazil wow. skip

[gnawershreth]

Very nice! I wish I could sing like that. ;)

Oh well, at least I'm good at listening. :P

[ThaLuCky5]

Howdy Skip!

I was just lookin' around for some highwaymen stuff and found your version of this great song. I really like the way you sing it and I believe you could also fascinate crowds with it.

And not to forget ... you kinda look lika a cowboy. So keep up your work.

Best regards from germany.

Josef "Joe" S.

[skipbo5]

thanks joe. i wish everyone had your taste in music. i like to play and sing and feel very lucky to have had it heard by people such as yourself. at 53 i may have missed my window for going public, but it has always brought me great enjoyment. thanks so much. skip

[Brilliantbeing]

I listened to other versions of this song. Yours is the best. Lots of feeling. You can be proud.

Your guitar playing is deliberate and purposeful.

Very nice.

[skipbo5]

[Brilliantbeing]

[NobblerBC]

Hey Skipbo, great job! I detect influence from "The Highwaymen" as opposed to Jimmy Webb :-)

From my experience, if you cover this song, you will get a lot of hits, I hope all the comments are positive.

Thanks

[skipbo5]

hi willie

i heard this song first by the highwaymen, then i looked up jimmy webb and he blew me away. what a song writer. i also watched your video back in the winter, and thought you to be an extremely talented player and singer. i listened again today and heard the jimmy webb influence in your version. great thing about music is how interpretations can shed different lights on already beautiful masterpieces. thanks so much for your kind words, and keep playing from the heart.

You have a really great voice, and your guitar playing is good. Thanks for doing this, I really enjoyed it. Are you playing with a capo?

Kasper

[DenOrangeUrt]

Hi, thanks for the help.

I'm playing it with a capo on 2nd usually and I've found my voice doesn't fit, but it's working.

The chords you use fit me much better, thanks again.

Kasper

[skipbo5]

anytime Kasper, thank you again.
