Pink Ribbon!

Post by wages »

I know it's crazy, but I've got a song ready already for Pink Ribbon. I was going to write the breast cancer angle, but something else just kinda flowed right out. It might be great, or it might be "pretty standard, really". :lol:

I'd really like some help with the music for this, even a drum track would be great. It doesn't have to fit this recording because it's obviously not in time. I will re-record the vocals and guitar (if it's not provided, nudge, nudge).

Here's the song:

BTW, I'm going to the eBay Live conference in San Francisco Mon to Thurs, so I would need to finish the song over the weekend (Sunday night at the latest).

PM if you can help!

lyrics & chords:
Pink Ribbon

VERSE 1 (easy melodic)
Em Am
I can not show you enough why
I can not sniff enough blow to get high
D C G Am
I can not see how this whole world is gettin' by
C D Em
but I can remember why

CHORUS (building)
C A
I miss that pink ribbon you used to wear
G Em
the way it flowed in the wind and hair
C A D Em
the memories make me lose control
C A
I can't bear the pain with you gone
G Em
life was never so all alone and I miss
C A D Em
the pink ribbon you used to wear

VERSE 2
Em Am
I can not believe this is the time
I can not come to terms; it's all a lie
D C G Am
I can not see how people are able to get by
C D Em
but I can remember why

CHORUS (intense)

BRIDGE C-Bm-Em (I played with an "Am", but it's not necessary, or it could be alternated once with, once without, etc)
take me down to the river I need to cry
I wanna bleed till I learn to die
I wanna know if it's my time,
I wanna see, I wanna lie,
I wanna die, I wanna die, I wanna die

(fade out for a moment...)
CHORUS slow

****place your emotional instrumental here if you want to do it****

CHORUS finale
