I've not written many country flavored songs, but here's one. If you've ever had one of those relationships where mutual agreeing was difficult--this song might bring back a memory. Its fictional however, but I got the idea from a friend who seemed to not get much compromising within his relationship............moving on was best!

They'll be Plenty of Sun Tomorrow-music lyrics by: e.swartz

They'll be Plenty of Sun Tomorrow


Vs. 1) I can feel our love start to wane, all this fighting, well it’s driving me insane
We’re like rain and thunder, you’re a never-ending task
They’ll be plenty of sun tomorrow, where I can bask

(Chorus)

Maybe I was out of line; I might have had a little too much wine
I could have said a thing or two, that I just might later regret
But you won’t leave it alone, until the last word is your own
I’d rather call it a day, and let’s just say goodnight

Vs 2) I’m not saying we have no common ground, but it’s not enough to keep this man around
I don’t claim perfection, but this just won’t work for me
They’ll be plenty of sun tomorrow, just wait and see

Vs.3) If I say turquoise, you would say chartreuse, you’re a one-way conversation, what’s the use
It’s alright to disagree, people do it everyday
But you’ve never learned to compromise, you always have to get your way

(Repeat Chorus)

(Bridge) Every time we have a quarrel; nothing ever seems to get resolved
Neither wants to “give or take,” so why bother being involved

(Instrumental)

(Repeat vs. 1)

Hey man , very cool hook and angle , Sounds good man. Hook sings like Waylon

Good one Steady....I agree with the Waylon J. sound.
Good stuff, man!

Thanks much Ben!

I was never a big Country fan, though have always appreciated the genre. I'll have to go listen to some old W J.

Thanks Tom,

I see you have a new one on board--will go listen here soon.

Hi Ed
Nice song it has a Dire Straits feel to it and yes Waylon was in there as well, especially, had a little too much wine line in the chorus.
John

I think you got some pink Floyd chord changes in there, the lunatic is in the hall ...

Interesting fir this genre. Sounds good, interesting choice of music.

Enjoyed

Thanks John & Fde,

I could see Waylon doing this song or even Toby Keith. I'll have to check out that Pink Floyd reference - I never listened to Pink Floyd too much. Song could probably use a "real" country boy on the vocals! I will check out your tunes tomorrow--getting late!

This has a very familiar feel that's tickling my nostalgia bone, very 1940's I think

1940's Japov? I know there was early Country music back in the 40's, but I think of Big Band orchestra music and my parent's generation when I think of the 40's. Of course there were many solo artists, Bing Crosby, Dinah Shore, Gene Autry, Mills Bros.....(Mills Bros are from my home town in Ohio). Not sure how you see this as a 40's tune, but thanks for the spin!

I don't hear 1940:s but it's not really country.

Not that that's a bad thing. This is more classic rock. It sounds like your using augmented chords.

And using tension chords, it's not country as I know it, but I'm not a country buff.

Maybe it's in jazzier side with sophisticated chords
The feel is classic rock too.

But who cares what genre it is

Lol... That's it! Something about this chord progression reminds me of old "Big Band" music.

Dom is right, that's not a bad thing

Fde & Japov,

I'll try and figure out what these chords are for you guys--I haven't played in a while. It starts with a root D chord to an E root chord then a G minor root chord back to D on the chorus. (using little finger to add notes on each chord with E and GM lifting appropriate middle fingers on D)
