This is the first original song of many to come. I've decided to record all my new solo music live first and place it on YouTube. After I've written enough songs to put together a cool record I'll then release a proper studio album. Please help spread the word and join me on the journey.

Lyrics:

riches to riches and dust upon dust
an old broken six string, an old broken lush
burned out on whiskey and shit out of luck
but no I'll never give up
ashes to ashes the lust turns to rust
losing my instincts go all or go bust
sweating out bourbon and shit out of luck
but no I'll never give up

hold my hand and we'll break away from these chains
hold my heart and we'll wait, wait for the days
hold my hand and we'll break these rusted old chains
and no I'll never give up

minutes turn hours and hours turn months
years they go by in a panic and a rush
my pockets are empty, i'm shit out of luck
but no i'll never give up

As hard as things get, never give up on your dreams.
Thank You for watching and listening.

wow Man that's great song! i'd love to play it with my Uke!

Is there somewhere i can find tabs?

Cheers!

[TheIanBlackwood]

@TheUkutwo Chords are Capo 3rd fret - Em, A, B

should translate to G, B, C# I believe...

give that a try!

[TheIanBlackwood]

@TheIanBlackwood wow, i was way wrong

It's G, C, G, D, oops!

[univacbill]

The song you did with Sarah was my gateway drug. This hooked me! I know an original is awesome when I want to grab an instrument while it's being played. Nothing handy so I settled for beating on the subscribe, like and favourite buttons.

[TheIanBlackwood]

@univacbill One of the best comments I have ever received. Thanks for checking out the tune and I promise there are more to come! All the best. Cheers.

[TheUkutwo]

Thanks so much, i've been follownig you and Sarah on the web for a while now, and i've got to say that what you guys have fought for and ACCOMPLISHED is, hands down, the most impressive thing that i've witnessed. So thanks for the inspiration!

Let me know if you swing by France or Costa Rica i'd love to check your live show!

Hearing/seeing a guy this good makes me feel angry because there is such terrible musicians making awful music but making money and having the sucess which a guy like this deserves.

[karocena84]
