Lyrics

LA NEW YEARS BLUES (COPYRIGHTED 2015)

(Feel free to put an Instrumental BRIDGE after last verse)

CHORUS 1:
A7 B7 C7

Another year and I'm looking for her
Killing pain with more cheap booze
Just living a way with no more virtues
Everything is fuzzy and just a blur
You got to love the LA New Years blues..............
Yeah, you got to love the LA blues

CHORUS 2:
A7 B7 C7

Another year that ended badly
Walking around in worn out shoes
In another Tin Pan Alley
I am lost, I stand accused
You got to love the LA New Years blues
Yeah, you got to love the LA blues


VERSE: 1

CM7 (2-3 strums DOWN) FMAJ7 (2-3 Strums UP)

She took it away on a Chicago train
Didn't know she'd could leave me this low
Millions of people and I'm alone in this pain
G AMaj7
Another failed love and nothing to show

Verse 2

Been a year since I started these blues
Another year I seem to choose to lose
All my dreams are dead so it seems
G AMaj7
Booze and sorrow just my constant theme


Verse 3

I remember days of being by the sea
Feeling the love and being easy and free
The stars don't burn as bright at night
G AMaj7
Since you've been gone, nothing is right

Very well written and well performed song!! Musicianship and vocal are great!! Really like the rhythmic hook. Very, very well done!!

Great performance , and song, nice job

Good piece full of vitality. Happy and sad both at the same time. Puts me to mind of Dan Fogelberg and Loudon Wainwright. Nice guitar work.

Well written song. Nice barebones production with acoustic guitars

Nice sounding stereo acoustic guitars. Great sounding recording. The playing and singing were right on target for this song.

Different take on a blues theme which is really refreshing. Somewhat reminiscent of America. like the chord change at the end of the verses. Unique vocalist with a cool style.

Nice playing and singing, god song, it's got definite potential in a modern country market with the right production.
