Hi all.
This is a re-write of a song I wrote some time ago.
All comments welcome. Rob4580

Three Chords


If I had a billy I'd bring you some water.
I'd bring you some water to take on your thirst.
I'd take it from it from mountains and deep flowing canyons.
I'd bring you some water to take on your thirst.

If I was a painter I'd paint you a landscape.
With wild rugged ranges in midst of a storm.
I'd paint you a landscape that no one had painted.
I'd bring you some water to take on your thirst.

Chorus
But all I can give you is love and a heartbeat.
To sing you a song is the best I can do.
I'll play you three chords and I'll pen down a love song.
To sing you a song is the best I can do.

Bridge

Chorus
But all I can give you is love and a heartbeat.
To sing you a song is the best I can do.
I'll play you three chords and I'll pen down a love song.
To sing you a song is the best I can do.

Thank you for sharing!

Rob,
the harmony is ace.
I haven't seen/heard "billy" in a song for yonks.
It's a lovely song - I want more verses becasue I dug the way it developed and the way you tied the 1st into the last line of the 2nd.
Tres bonn.
Very nice romantic waltz with an appropriate title. Excellent vocals and harmonies.

Janne

This is beautiful... Love the harmonies on the chorus.

Outstanding song.

I like it. Simple but effective lyrics, nicely sung, well mixed.

Sounds like a classic folk song - familiar, but original. laugh

Hi Ray. Thanks for listening.
I'm working on more lyrics. Rob4580
Rob,

If you were a painter, you would have painted a lovely, lovely song—just like this one. Every element is pretty darn perfect, from vocals, mood, sentiment, production. Like this in all respects—impressive.

“I’ll pen you three chords and I’ll pen down a love song”—what a great line!

My best to you,

Deej
What a tune - some excellent lyricism here, and your vocals are the perfect vehicle for them. It is tender, emotional, and definitely tugs at the heart a little bit.

You did a fantastic job on this one - great work and thanks for sharing smile
Lovely.

It's written and performed with that heartfelt feel that you are a master of.

The word genuine always comes to mind when we listen to your productions.

It has a classic feel that makes the listener immediately feel right at home.

Well done all the way around!

Hi guys thank you for your encouraging comment.Rob4580
Very nice traditional feel! Lyrics are poetic and elegant! Vocal, as always, is very good. Nice job Rob!! Take care. Greg
Hi Rob,

This is a wonderful journey. I love the waltz feel and your vocals are strong, heartfelt and very easy on the ears (as always).

I imagine that if you sang this song at some venue, many couples would be on their feet dancing.

All the best,
Noel
Hello Noel. Thought this tune was long gone.
Many thanks for listening. Rob4580
This is a great listen Rob. Your song
Your voice(s) is perfect for the song, which summons up images of Australia.
The backing is spot-on - love the fiddle and the acoustic guitar.
Thanks for sharing.
