Randy Travis' Forever and Ever Amen by Matt David Worsham

[tailor7793]

Love this song and this version. This fella has a strong voice as Ive checked his other videos. CAn anyone tell me where to get the chords from?

[RedneckCasanova]

@tailor7793 I'd try cowboylyrics dot-com

[83carrie]

Strumming Pattern?

[shellymac81]

very good but u need to sing up a lil babe

[deejabou07]

nice one dude not bad.. .

[johncena26343]

my singn is better check it out

[dalesrmaninblack]

hey you did a awesome job on this song

gave you 5*****

[MexiChriS]

any chance you can give me the chords you use!? in case i got mine wrong

but mainly because at like 1:14 & 2:30 you do like a "hammer-on" while playing the E chord, then you go back into a G chord i believe... I can't seem to get that part you do:(

but i got most of everything thing down and perfectly timed i believe. Just get all messed up with my rhythm when that part comes up:(

can you help!?:D ...and if you could, please refer me other great country songs/artist, acoustic preferred:)

[RedneckCasanova]

The description now has a link to lyrics and chords. The hammer-on on the E chord is open A to B in the alternating E/B bass pattern. It DOES seem like the guitar and vocals have a different feel...guitar accented on each beat and vocals more like every other beat, but the less you think about it the easier it is! Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson, and Johnny Cash are classic, and Alan Jackson and Garth Brooks too all have good songs that can be done well acoustically. Thanks for watching!

[tailor7793]

@MexiChriS Can you please email me some chords to tis song? Thanks so much.

[ripper778]

Cool good ole Randy Travis. Haven't heard this in a long time.

[guvnuckle]

hey good video u wanna slow it down a lil.. so i can learn that or just mail me the cords great song.

[RedneckCasanova]

Hey thanks!

Not a problem...though the chords are pretty widely available online. I''m sure I didn't get it completely right and probably went too fast.

Take care,

Matt

[yougotmalk]

great singing and playing...wish i could play..*L*

[RedneckCasanova]

Thanks! I'm really neither that great of a singer or musician...'idiomatic' is I think the term used in the industry...but it's one of the things that gives me great pleasure in life.

Thanks again...and go FIND your voice! You can PLAY something like a virtuoso whether it's musical or NOT!

Matt

[jude26651]

[RedneckCasanova]

Thanks! It's one of my favorites by Randy Travis.

[tommy30507]

Matt, VERY NICE! Thanks for doing this for us! I hope your week has had a good start...Ronnie

[RedNeckLTD]

Good start...a hitch or two here n' there, but otherwise great!

Thank ya!

Matt

[RedneckCasanova]

Thanks Matt, I'll make sure to plug your channel for ya...you have a lot of good music on it! ;-)

Matt

[BlondeHeadTilt]

Oh Lord, now you're talking to yourself!!! ;-)  This has gotten serious!

~Angie

[RedneckCasanova]

Well you know how it is with us 'shameless comment spammers' we HAVE no dignity and just CAN'T seem to shut up...or at least so I've been TOLD by somebody who knows ALL about that kind of stuff!  It's a cute video...you should check it out if you haven't yet.

[BlondeHeadTilt]

Oh I checked it out and it earned the maggot a block! What part of my channel headline of "NO DRAMA" confuses people?

[SlappyThePenguin]

Matt, I never realised how much I liked Country Music until I found your page. Well done, that song brings back many good memories for me, thanks.

[RedneckCasanova]

THAT has to be one of the nicest compliments I've ever received as a musician. Thank you, THANK you!

[sneakypreacher]

Very cool, RC.

[RedneckCasanova]

Thank ya!

[glenna667]

You did a great job Matt..

[RedneckCasanova]

Thanks!

Thanks!

[TexarkanaBraveheart]

i always liked that song,cool

[RedneckCasanova]

It's one of my favorites of his!

[breezin48]

Uh oh. You got a Cat Fight on this one, buddy. YourBuiscutForever and BlondHeadTilt have lost control. I think they both REALLY liked your song!

[YourBuiscutForever]

LMAO too funny! =) It was a good song, huh!

[RedneckCasanova]

Thank ya!

[RedneckCasanova]

Well they can just go settle it like men! ;-)

[RedneckCasanova]

Oh and I forgot to say thanks!

And those two ladies can go settle their dispute like men...out in the parking lot with broken whisky bottles! ;-)

Nah, they're just friends having fun!

[BlondeHeadTilt]

Be careful RC.. ya know, if we're all in the parking lot someone (aka ME) might just 'pants' you! (I've never done that before, but it could be FUN)!

[RedneckCasanova]

I always WONDERED why cowboys wear those big ol' belt-buckles...it's defensive armor!

Of course for most men later in life it becomes a beer-belly retaining wall, and eventually you're wearing a turquoise studded chrome hubcap!

[BlondeHeadTilt]

There I go again, having quirky odd visuals of you!

[breezin48]

Great job. I'm so glad you go the new camera. Keep 'em coming!

[RedneckCasanova]

Will do!

[YourBuiscutForever]

This song has a great deal of memory for me! I love it and you did a down right hootin' tootin' job at it! Favored! And I know you were singing to me, I just know it :-) Ok a girl can dream can't she?

[BlondeHeadTilt]

*gasping*

*shoving BilliSue*

He was singing to ME dang'nabbit!!!

*stomping off*

[YourBuiscutForever]

You can't prove a thing. He knows it and I know it and the sooner you know it the better you will be.

[BlondeHeadTilt]

Oh NO you Did'unt! ChickieDoodle, you're treading on thin ice here missy with me!!! You better watch your tongue or I'm gonna get up outta this Lazy'boy'recliner and head over to your place and claw your dang eyes out!!!

[YourBuiscutForever]

Daaaayum, what did i ever do to you, *POUT* all I ever did was love you! How Rude!

[BlondeHeadTilt]

Aw, now I feel bad!!! Comere you good for nuttin' heathen and gimme a hug!!! It's silly for us to fight over Mr.Casanova.. tell ya what, I'll take him on odd days, you get him on even (*giggle* I wonder if she'll realize that means I have him 4 days and she only gets him 3 days during the week).

[YourBuiscutForever]

Ewy there you go again. I was saying he would love me forever and ever cause I am like a sister. What on earth were thinking, you always have your mind in the gutter. You best be getting it out of there before it rots and falls off.

[BlondeHeadTilt]

Excuse ME?!?!?!?!?! Listen here Missy, I know what Kin'folk do from y'alls neck of the woods, and trust me, the offspring it produces ain't purdy!!

But you keep on lovin him like a sister, and I'll be makin him scream "Who's your MOMMA"!!!!

[YourBuiscutForever]

OO now I think you have done pissed off Momma Casanova. Why on earth would he be yelling for her in your bedroom?

[BlondeHeadTilt]

um... *gulp*... for lessons?

[YourBuiscutForever]

Why does this strike me as so wrong on so many levels?

[BlondeHeadTilt]

Cuz you ain't nuttin but a PRUDE!!!! Comeon girl it's like the 19th Century.. burn that bra and BE FREE!!!!

[YourBuiscutForever]

Good thing you looked that up huh..lmao I think you are just really confused right. Maybe if you would tilt your head the other way it will all come back to you!

[BlondeHeadTilt]

Hold up.. let me try this..

*tilt head blonde*.. Nope, I don't feel no different!

[YourBuiscutForever]

*Throwing hands in the air* I give up. You win for once..lol

[BlondeHeadTilt]

Quitter! =/

[YourBuiscutForever]

YOU SUCK! =D

[BlondeHeadTilt]

Heck Yeah I do.. and I'm proud of it!!!

Momma also taught me it ain't polite to spit!

[BlondeHeadTilt]

*adjusting my halo*

[YourBuiscutForever]

OH my I think I need to be covering my eyes! Hey Matt, do you see this!  Good for you!..lol

[BlondeHeadTilt]

OOPSIE.... I meant "Who's your DADDY"

*blonde head tilt*

[YourBuiscutForever]

Yeah your right the Frosted Flake name fit you better..lmao

[BlondeHeadTilt]

BITE ME lil'miss'misspelled'biscuit'ch­ick!

[YourBuiscutForever]

Hey I have been told by the upmost respected man that it was charming. And, And may I remind you, you said it too...I have the proof so don't make me be pulling it out!..lol

[RedneckCasanova]

Thanks, Darlin'...but what I really wanted to do is somehow work in the message, whether in a title or just in the description that said something like 'dedicated to everybody who's ever known this kind of love and all the rest who someday will' but I couldn't and STILL can't find a good way to put it.

[BlondeHeadTilt]

I think how you just worded it is perfect Matt!!! Yet I'll know in my heart you were singing only to me! LOL ;-*

*running* away from misspelled biscuit woman before she woops my hiney...

[RedneckCasanova]

Well thanks! I usually don't find myself at a loss for words or ways to weave 'em, so when it does happen it feels strange!

[Cameragirl803]

Sounds just great Matt! So glad you decided to cover this! 5*****and fav'ed jane

[RedneckCasanova]

Aww...thanks, Jane! And thanks for helping me decide to do this one! I needed to play a song I could truly feel and the other ones I was thinking about doing yesterday just weren't doing it for some reason!

[Cameragirl803]

Yes, this was a great pick! Love the hat:) You had a really nice smile too:) Helps sell the song ;) I always look pretty mad..Ha,Ha but I'm working on it:)

[RedneckCasanova]

I don't always adhere to this advice myself but I know you get a distinctly different tone singing the same notes with a smile as you do with a slack or otherwise tense expression, so I try to smile when the song seems to call for it. I don't however think I would grin my way through say Vincent or Sam Stone!

[Cameragirl803]

I sent you a video of a song you might want to do. Check it out, you have probably heard the guy before:)

[RedneckCasanova]

Will do! I only go through my received videos list about once a month though! I'll make a point of doing so soon...tonight if possible! Thanks M

[Cameragirl803]

It's Cadilac style:)

[Cameragirl803]

Yea, it's the smile :)

[RedneckCasanova]

Aww...thanks! I was thinking of doing that song 'I Like Women Just a Little on the Trashy Side' by Confederate Railroad...but it might be just a bit of a jump from the sweet sensitive love song to a honkey tonk hell raiser...but It's another tune that makes me smile!

[Cameragirl803]

Yes! Great one to do I just looked up the vid. You even look a little like the guy. Perfect:) I did Martina & Patty Loveless songs today but I may wait to put it up. Do the Trashy song! :)

[RedneckCasanova]

Thanks...but I might also do Don Williams 'I Believe in Love' first because somebody has wanted me to do that one for a long time and it suits my voice. Who knows...I might do BOTH tonight! We'll see!

M

[Cameragirl803]

Well good luck:) CLOSE:)

[qiranger]

Great cover Matt!

[RedneckCasanova]

Thank ya! And this was more what I would consider a 'cover' than a 'rendition' since I consciously tried to stick as close as I could to the original this time.

[BlondeHeadTilt]

"You're not just time that I'm killin'...I'm gonna love you forever and ever Amen"... I'm *singing* right along with ya darlin', who cares if I can't carry a tune! hehe

There's something to be said for forever love and the forever love of friends! Thanks for being a part of my forever!!! Love the video, how you sang the song, and you! ;-* ~A

[BlondeHeadTilt]

By the way, you've got the cutest lil' grin!!!

[RedneckCasanova]

The words to this song mean a lot to me, which is why even though they're sung in a kind of a lighthearted tone, I think I can hit somewhere near the mark with the delivery.

[KurtGnu]

I believe this is the first time I've had the pleasure of hearing you play and sing.. and I must say I liked it!! Very good.. VERY GOOD! Obviously an undiscovered talent.. and if I may be selfish, I'm glad, 'cause it means we can enjoy you on YT.. :D Had never heard the tune before, but I can understand you like it, I sure did!! :D

[RedneckCasanova]

THANKS! Last night was the first time performing this one for me. I have a number of other songs, covers and originals, interspersed through my videos...though I'm thinking of setting up an additional all music channel, but I'll keep posting music to this one as well.

[KurtGnu]

Let me know when you do.. I'll be there subbing.. I must get round to view some of your earlier stuff, apologies for not doing so yet.. :)

[RedneckCasanova]

No worries! It's not going anywhere! Well, except maybe for a few 'duds' that I've got up there! ;-)

And thanks for the vote of confidence! I'll keep everybody posted if and when I decide to do that.

[DawndeeDALLAS]

Hey Matt do you take request? Big smiles~

[RedneckCasanova]

SlappyThePenguine is gonna kick my butt because I haven't managed to do HIS request yet...but YEAH, I'm willing to TRY anything. Just throw out an idea!

[SlappyThePenguin]

I'm cool Matt. How could I be angry when you have done a couple of Johnny Cash numbers and a Randy Travis song? Throw a Dwight Yokum song in there and I'll be in Redneck Heaven.

[RedneckCasanova]

That's definitely worth a try! I like Dwight!

Thanks!

[Jinxie228]

I love this song too!!! Awesome Matt, loved it! I had to hit the favorite button and the 5 stars.

Thank you for sharing such a beautiful song with us.

Hugs,

Martha

[RedneckCasanova]

Aww...THANKS Martha!

[3BallJosh]

Man, I love this song. I got to see Randy in Ft. Hood, TX for the 4th Infantry Division's welcome home (from Iraq) party...he's amazing live.

[RedneckCasanova]

I'll bet he is! Yeah, he's one of my favorite country artists. I think both from a songwriting and performing standpoint the toughest thing to achieve is to sound familiar and traditional yet fresh and engaging at the same time, and this song and this singer manage both!

[redgruff]

Matt, you should change your YT channel to Musician...you're awesome, man!!

[RedneckCasanova]

Thanks! I've been tempted to set one up that's ALL music, but if I did that I think I'd still keep this one like it is with something kinda different all the time including music which I just post to both places. It's worth thinking about!

[krazytaru]

=) i still dont see how you ain't been snatched up and taken.

[RedneckCasanova]

Guess I must just have smelly feet and ornery ways! ;-)

[krazytaru]

lol you?!? no way! you must be pickin the wrong gals... ya know most rednecks go for the city girls.. is that what you do?

[RedneckCasanova]

Might be somethin' TO that, come to think of it! ;-)

[Perroquet51]

Loved it! 5 stars and faved.

[RedneckCasanova]

Wow, THANKS!

[CRNFAllyKat]

I love this song! I think its my fav Randy Travis song...and you do it VERY well!!!! 10 stars!!!(if I could) Thanks for sharing.

[RedneckCasanova]

Thank YOU!
