It does indeed sound as though you possibly saved the file twice.
Once as a blank file (just 1 C chord) with your required file name, and a second time you replaced the demo song file, probably in the Demo songs folder location.

Start again.

Create a simple song.

Select Save (or Save As) and note carefully where this is being saved to (exactly which folder and file name).

Then restart the program and load that song. Navigate to the same folder that you saved the song in. Does the correct song load?
