Hi I don't scribble as much as I used to, but here's an oldie revisited
Guitar For Sale.
I saved hard for this guitar It cost a months pay Thought I'll impress my gal And learn how to play, But she flipped her lid As I was practicing Said that thing’s gotta go And I should try fishing.
chorus Guitar for sale Almost new Comes with a case And a tuner too. My sweet serenade Was doomed to fail Grab a bargain Guitar for sale.
I saw myself by the fire Guitar on my knee Singing her a love song As she adored me, Then she let her hair down And tore off my jeans But before I knew a chord She crushed my dreams.
chorus Guitar for sale Almost new Comes with a case And a tuner too. My sweet serenade Was doomed to fail Grab a bargain Guitar for sale.
bridge If I’d bought a new t v She’d have been all over me Like on my birthday last year, But she cast her crimson mist And now I’m on Craigslist Buying fishing gear.
So it's

Reminds me of the ad:
Motorcycle for sale. Ridden once, home from the dealership. Apparently, "Do whatever the hell you want!" doesn't mean what you'd think it does!
There will always be another song to be written. Someone will write it. Why not you? www.garyeandrews.com

Thanks Tony, wow I never heard it as a blues tune, but man you nailed it, with a blues theme I wonder if a,slimmed down version might work stronger so I scribbled this, if you fancy finishing the song go ahead which ever way you chose thanks again, all the best,john. Guitar For Sale.
I saved hard for this guitar It cost a whole months pay Yes I saved hard for this guitar It cost a whole months pay, But my baby she goes crazy Every time I play.
chorus My guitar’s for sale It’s almost new Comes with a case And a tuner too, My plans to impress her Were doomed to fail Grab a bargain Guitar for sale
I tuned up and got strumming I was on a mission Yes I tuned up and got strumming I was a man on a mission But to my dismay I heard her say Go take up fishing.
chorus bridge I’ll cry when I say goodbye It's a limited edition hand made But a womans scorn is the sharpest thorn Cuts deeper than any blade.

Yea', I'm feeling' this! Let’s knock it around some more... get some more input/ideas... Perhaps a female verse about bills to pay, and get this noise out of my house! Lol

great switch Tony a female verse sounds cool. but the bills thing is kinda well trod territory maybe
My advice is take the first offer And don’t haggle for more Yes my advice is take the first offer Don’t haggle for any more, There’s an exercise bike I really like Only costs three nine four.
all the best,john

I think I just had an epiphany.... Story line - I saved hard for this guitar - My wife hates my guitar - My guitar's for sale - I couldn’t sell my guitar - My new girlfriend loves fishing... Instead of "I think you should try fishing"... the wife says "I think you should keep fishing". Make it a running theme

Fun idea and lyric, not sure I agree with the sentiment.
Once had a girl say it's either me or the guitar, and I said what's your name again?
