Pete Dello - A good song

If you ^Dwant to ^Awrite a good ^Dsong^{Dsus4 D} Make ^Gsure that the ^Atune is very s^Dtrong ^D7 And the ^Gwords are very ^Aclear The ^Dbacking very ^Bmnear ^GThen you will ^Ahave a good ^Dsong ^A

Then you ^Dhave to ^Amake a demo ^Ddis^Dsus4c ^D It’ll ^Gcost a bit, ^Abut its worth the ^Drisk ^D7 An ^Ghour will cost ten ^Apound ^DIn New Central ^BmSound ^GNow you have ^Agot a demo ^Ddisc ^{A D A D}

Now you ^Dwant to ^Aplace it with a ^Dsta^Dsus4r ^D First ^Gfind out ^Awho their agents ^Dare ^D7 But ^Gdon’t send it by ^Apost Or ^Dit’ll end up ^Bmlost ^GGo yourself ^Aif it’s not too ^Dfar ^A

Oh the ^Dagent will ^Aput the demo ^Don and ^Gpace the room while ^Alistening to the ^Dsong ^D7 But be^Gfore the middle ^Aeight He’ll ^Dsay it’s getting ^Bmlate And ^Gtell you that it’s ^Agood but far too ^Dlong ^A D A D

Next you ^Dtry the ^Arecord compa^Dny ^{Dsus4 D} The ^GA&R men ^Aare the chaps to ^Dsee ^D7 For they’re ^Galways looking ‘^Around ^Dfor a brand new ^Bmsound ^GSome even have a ^Ahit eventual^Dly ^A

Then you ^Dtry the ^Asmall time big time ^Dmen^{Dsus4 D} Who ^Gmanage little ^Abeat groups by the ^Dten ^D7 And ^Gin their Knightsbridge ^Aflat ^Dthey will tell you ^Bmthat ^GIt’s a gad but ^Ababy not my ^Dscene ^A

^DNow you have ^Ataken it a^Dround And ^Gall the record ^Atrade has turned it ^Ddown ^D7 But ^Gdon’t put it on the ^Ashelf re^Dcord the song your^Bmself And if it ^Gdoesn’t make the charts… Then maybe it’s just ^Anot a good ^N.C.song…
