Hello everyone,

Here is my tribute for august. It is a Rock-Blues style with a very nice solo.
I had this song nearly ready in july, but I decided at the same time to change my recording studio into something more handy. So it had to wait untill the studio was ready to record the background vocals.
The song had to be light with a nice beat and solo. The lyrics are humorous or meant to be.
I hope you enjoy it, but let me know what mistakes I made, or what I did right!

The song is in C, the tempo 105 bpm.
The style is OLDDAYS.STY (Old Days Rootsy Country Rock)

The lyrics
Who tells him
(c) HWBerkhout, july 2020

We were homeless, then saw that building
It was an old hotel near Mook
The place looked abandoned,
so we decided to take a closer look

It was enormous, just wat we needed
But then an old man came walking in
He chose himself the biggest room
and did not say anything

So, we stood there with an open mouth
And thought what's this all about?
He just have to leave right now, but

Chorus 1
Who tells him
Who's gonna tell him
that here he cannot stay
Who's tellin'
Who's gonna tell him
He got to leave today
Leave and go away

We couldn't sleep well, 'cause he captured our hotel
Therefore we had to hate him
And the next morning we went to his room
to hand him our ultimatum

He wasn't home though, to our surprise
We thought he left us, so we were enjoyed
While celebrating, we saw he came back
And that made us very annoyed,

We stood there with an open mouth
And thought what's this all about?
He just have to leave right now, but

Chorus 2
Who tells him
Who's gonna tell him
here he cannot stay
Who's tellin'
Who's gonna tell him
that he got to leave today

Solo

Aah,
We were twisting about the whole situation
But then he entered, with wine in his fists
"Who would like to try some"? He asked with a smile
He knew we could not resist, but...

We stood there with an open mouth
And thought we judged him all wrong
Now we have to plea he must stay, but...

Chorus 3
Who's  tellin'
Who's gonna tell him
that now he has to stay
Yes, who's tellin'
Who's gonna tell him
That he cannot go away
+
It doesn't matter who's gonna tell him
We believe he must stay
Oh, It doesn't matter who's there to tell him
everything is ok
No, It doesn't matter who's gonna tell him
He cannot go away
+
We just want him to stay

Solo
