No claims of being a performer. I just give it what little I've taught myself musically by songwriting. Recorded by mic, straight to computer as sound on sound.
Born at an early age, I was just a kid at the time....from there memory escapes me, until 2000 or 2001 when I decided to teach myself guitar. In order to teach myself guitar, I took to writing songs. From there, I added bass and occasionally, harmonica and a small touch of electric guitar. Not much of a performer, but I love to experiment writing songs. So, it's nine or ten years into it so far....and I've only scratched the surface with tons to learn. Maybe, you'll find something you like on the nearly three pages, I've loaded so far....Comments are welcome, I don't expect all comments to be favorable, but objectively constructive. I make no claims of being a performer....I just give it my best with what little that I've taught myself both musically and in songwriting. All songs are either written, played and sang by myself or my attempt at covering a song by my favorite artists.

Lyrics
The Last Great American Cheatin' Song 2/01/2006 Wade Farlowe *G C D G Early that mornin', when I saw you with him Em A2 D I knew my whole world had gone away G C D G On the night before, the stars hid from the sky Em A2 D I searched the whole night till night was day G C D G And now here we are, facing what's going on Em A2 D The Last Great American Cheatin' Song Am C G D Why couldn't you have trusted too? Am C G D There was room for more mistakes tomorrow Am C G D Why didn't we take time to see? Am C G D Love was not what you buy, beg, steal or borrow Break - Am C G D (Repeat twice) G C D G Later while talkin', when the words had grown cold Em A2 D You wrote off our life like an epitaph G C D G In those conversations, I had to ask you why Em A2 D The you, I found wasn't in our photographs G C D G The you I adored, pacing lies for so long Em A2 D In the Last Great American Cheatin' Song Am C G D Why couldn't you have listened too? Am C G D There was time to solve the past in our way Am C G D How could you be, mistakenly seen Am C G D Lacking faith enough for another day? Break - Am C G D (Repeat twice) G C D G Throughout that evening, you said to find someone Em A2 D Words you told me, you thought I should hear G C D G But you didn't want me with the wrong kind of girl Em A2 D Turns out, that's the you, I'd known all those years G C D G Now thanks go to you, living proof what's gone wrong Em A2 D In the Last Great American Cheatin' Song Am C G D Why couldn't you have loved me too? Am C G D There was hope for many more tomorrows Am C G D Why didn't I see the reasons why? Am C G D The one mistake now giving all this sorrow Break - Am C G D (repeats through to fade out ending on Am A2 Am) * Song intro G C G C G C D

Hi Wade, Saw you over at Rogers site. Dont know how I missed this one. This production is top shelf. Also I love the steel guitar/slide lead on this. Is that you? Excellent. Of course the subject beer sucked me right in from the get go. Good lyrics as always. Very impressive country song. Nice work!

Hello Wade, what an outstanding song. Guitars sound poetical and you sing it in a distinctive way. Classical tune - perfect for a video about the early times... WE love it!! OBB

Good listening to your music.......enjoyable as always!! Are you blending two different guitars here? Pardon my ignorance.......I really am not knowledgeable with instruments, but I like how I hear two differnt tones blending. Does that make any sense? I need to be quiet don't I, LOL?? GREAT song Wade!!!! There......that sums it up!! Your Fan! Rosie
Nicely done Wade, CHEERS buddy C & N
