Just trying to put what's inside my head out for others to hear. I don't use any shortcuts what you hear is what i played .Every insturment !
I guess I am the band . i play guitar, mandolin, dobro, keyboards and am currently learning the fiddle. I'll admit that the fiddle is the most painfull insturment i have tried. Now, my house band -Louie (The Lazy Lizard) and The HousePets consist of -Louie (Crested Gecko) on lead vocals and ruthem guitar, Coco (the dog) Lead guitar , Keybords, and back-up vocals, Shady Kitty (Black cat) Bass and some vocals, and last but in this case least Katy Cricket and the Crickettes on fiddle and back-up vocals (The members of the Crickettes come and go as Louie has a bad habitt of eating them for lunch !

Lyrics
Workin' For The Blues A Am6 Abm6 Am6 Abm6 Am6 Well , you get up in the mornin' and you go clock in - put in eight hours maybe ten - A E9 E9aug5 E9 E7(no5) But when that eagle flies - ya feel just like he blew by you ( left ya sittin' on Blue Bayou) A B 'cause every bill you had due is due past the dun stage- the government keeps callin' it minimum wage E9 E9aug5 E9 E7(no5) A E9 But, you and i know you're just workin' for the blues ! A Am6 Abm6 Am6 Abm6 If you're workin' for the blues ,you shure enough understand -supply can't ever keep up with demand A E9 E9aug5 E9 E7(no5) 'cause no matter how far you streatch it - the buck's got to stop somewhere ! A B it means tossin' and turnin' when you should be asleep- 'cause you're feelin' monday mornin' startin' to creep E9 E9aug5 E9 E7(no5) A D9 Eb9 E9 (up on ya) You ain't workin' for the good times - you're just workin' for the blues . A Am6 Abm6 Am6 And it's the same old story just a different page - from the time you sign on 'till retirement age A B The same chapter just another verse - you're always way past your last before you get to the first E9 E9aug5 E9 E7(no5) A E9 you ain't workin' for the highlife you're just workin' for the blues ( insturmental break) A Said,If you're workin' for the blues you sho' 'nuff know what i mean Am6 Abm6 Am6 Abm6 Am6 Abm6 Am6 you can't even make the ends meet when you 're bringin' in that 'long green' A B what the bills don't take ya know the taxman does you know it's the truth and ya know it because ... E9 E9aug5 E9 E7(no5) A DE9 you ain't workin' for the weekend - you're just workin' for the blue
