Singing through loose guitar strings…
Posted on | January 4, 2011 |
It’s been a while since I held my (soon to retire decade old) guitar. The neck of my guitar already wants to file for divorce with its body. Thus, every once in a while, it’s out of tune coz of loose strings. Still, rough voice deserves rough music eh. But it’s due for replacement. And I plan to frame this guitar to a wood panel and make this a centerpiece entertainment room wall decor…
…I listened to Francis’ Kaleidoscope World during my drive as I battle the Roxas Blvd traffic yesterday. At home, I searched for the chords of KW and tried singing it myself. Surprisingly, chords are easy and song is vox-box super-friendly. Try em…
G Am
So many faces, so many races
Bm C
Different voices, different choices
G Am
Some are mad, while others laugh
Bm C
Some live alone with no better half
G Am
Others grieve while others curse
Bm C
And others mourn behind a big black hearse
G Am
Some are pure and some half-bred
Bm C
Some are sober and some are wasted
G Am
Some are rich because of fate and
Bm C
Some are poor with no food on their plate
G Am
Some stand out while others blend
Bm C
Some are fat and stout while some are thin
G Am
Some are friends and some are foes
Bm C
Some have some while some have most
Chorus:
G Am
Every color and every hue
Bm C
Is represented by me and you
G Am
Take a slide in the slope
Bm C
Take a look in the kaleidoscope
G Am
Spinnin round, make it twirl
Bm C
In this kaleidoscope world
(Do Stanza Chords)
Some are great and some are few
Others lie while some tell the truth
Some say poems and some do sing
Others sing through their guitar strings
Some know it all while some act dumb
Let the bassline strum to the bang of the drum
Some can swim while some will sink
And some will find their minds and think
Others walk while others run
You cant talk peace and have a gun
Some are hurt and start to cry
Dont ask me how dont ask me why
Some are friends and some are foes
Some have some while some have most
(repeat chorus)
Dunno if this is the right chords, but to me it sounded ok.
Sing!
Here’s the video of it…
BTW, the bucket wood is for sale.
