No problemo Wade- I was about half- serious. I'd have to work extra days to take off 2 in a row anyhow.
Have a safe trip buddy- take some of thjose "Special pics" .

Randy's goingwith you? This should be very special..

Wade B

Yes, I agree, if that were the case.

But it is the other brother, Chuck, who is going along.

Anybody know the chords to Southern Cross by CS&N?

Wade B

I've faked my way through it before. (I think we might have tried it at the 'fest but didn't know the lyrics, or was that another time? You guys got me drunk you know....)
It is in the key of "A".
I'll try to get it together and PM you and Scott with it.

Here's the lyrics:
Got out of town on a boat
Goin' to Southern islands.
Sailing a reach
Before a followin' sea.
She was makin' for the trades
On the outside,
And the downhill run
To Papeete.
Off the wind on this heading
Lie the Marquesas.
We got eighty feet of the waterline.
Nicely making way.
In a noisy bar in Avalon
I tried to call you.
But on a midnight watch I realized
Why twice you ran away.
Chorus
Think about how many times
I have fallen
Spirits are using me
larger voices callin'.
What heaven brought you and me
Cannot be forgotten.
I have been around the world,
Lookin' for that woman/girl,
Who knows love can endure.
And you know it will.
And you know it will.
When you see the Southern Cross
For the first time
You understand now
Why you came this way
'Cause the truth you might be runnin' from
Is so small.
But it's as big as the promise
The promise of a comin' day.
So I'm sailing for tomorrow
My dreams are a dyin'.
And my love is an anchor tied to you
Tied with a silver chain.
I have my ship
And all her flags are a flyin'
She is all that I have left
And music is her name.
Chorus
Think about how many times
I have fallen
Spirits are using me
larger voices callin'.
What heaven brought you and me
Cannot be forgotten.
I have been around the world,
Lookin' for that woma/girl,
Who knows love can endure.
And you know it will.
And you know it will.
So we cheated and we lied
And we tested
And we never failed to fail
It was the easiest thing to do.
You will survive being bested.
Somebody fine
Will come along
Make me forget about loving you.
At the Southern Cross.

Southern Corss sounds a heck of a lot better if you play it in the right key. That tab in the link above is in G, it should be played in A (A, G, D and Bm, instead of G,F,C and Am).

Thanx Scott!
So, who's gonna sing it?

Wade B

Pick me!! Pick me!!!!

Chris_924s

It's all I had- easy to transpose tho - or use a capo.. raise it a few keys.

User 41221

I can sing that one if you need me to. Who's gonna sing Hotel California? Its a bit high for me... lol

Regards,

MichelleJD

I can pick that one up
