Guitar Tablature: Guitar Introduction
April 24th, 2006 | View Post
I was just messing around with some melodic finger plucking and happened to come up with this. I threw it into GarageBand and applied some very light effects to it. Although it might sound like there is a bass guitar in it, I just turned the bass up very high on my LC2-Sonoma and ran with it.

Stroke of Good Luck

Words by Klaus Wagner
Music by Kevin Ludlow

Intro
(A) (D/A)

Been bitten by a stroke of good luck

Don't know where - it got me

Cause I feel no pain

Feels good again

Got some meaning now to open my eyes

Feeling good when - I look in the mirror

I kind of like this good luck

Feeling it

Where it takes me

I don't know

Where it leads me

Leave it forever not to be - no

Because I've been bitten by a stroke of good luck

And I - feeling its gonna be another

Good Day - tomorrow

When I go to sleep

And I don't care no more

Cause I'm gonna wake up in the blue skies

We'll be blue again
Where sun will shine
Cause the birds will fly
And I'll feel so damn high

Its good luck and I don't know where it came from

Kinda like that mole on my ass

But I like when its there

See its always clear

Please don't feel

And I feel good inside - outside

(BRIDGE)
(E) (A)
Feeling fair
Living free
Cause it's where everyone needs to be

(D)
Its in a place where they can - see

(A) (D/A)
Forever

And not think about what it would have been

Ohhhhh
Go
Go
Go, Go, Go, Go

Go
Go
Go, Go, Go


TEXT

Kevin - Well I hope that came out
Klaus - Was that fun?

See, that was a jam.

Was that fun or what? [FADE OUT]

Tango in the Night

Words by Klaus Wagner
Music by Kevin Ludlow


(INTRO)
(Dm - Dm7th) (Am)


(Dm)
Tango in the night

My legs filled with fright

She opens up the door

Never seen that much skin before

(Dm)
I popped up in some Marvin Gaye

(Em)
Like I had planned

(Dm)
Nights before


She stepped over to greet me

Shall I say

(Em) (Dm)
It was us by now

She gave me a big hug

Lemme smell her - all over

She said lay me down on that bed of yours

(Em)
Treat me like I'm a red head

(Dm)
Don't you stop tonight until I scream

Your name unto this smoke filled room

(Em)
Cause that's how I want it tonight

And I said - I'll give it to you

(Dm)
Might add some fright - to your pleasure

In my room

(Em)

(Dm) (Am)
And that's pretty much how I figured it was gonna go
I got it all figured out by now
I figured I tell her to come in my room
I'd put some music on
She gives me a hug - feels the wood

And we get at it
Because by god it's been a long six months
And I'm not even in the goddamn navy
So uh - let this foretold vision come to life

(F#) (B) (x3)
And I'll be a happy man tonight

Words can't explain

What I see before me

Eyes are blue

Skin is cream

Put me to sleep
(D)
Lemme figure this one out in my - dreams

(D) (A)
Gonna take a drive tonight

Foward Fly

I don't wanna see you cry

Cause I feel - good with you

(D)
Gonna take a drive - tonight

(C9)
Gonna make sure I figure this one out right

(C9)
Cause I'm going down

(D)
Hays Field Road

Going down

(C9) (G)
Hays Field Road - tonight

(A)
Its juts begun

The day has got a new sun

(LYRIC REST)

But I - see you once - I need you twice

You're gonna stay here tonight

(D)
Gonna take a drive
(C9)
To figure this one out

(D) (C9) (G)

If the clock turns twelve

And I'm around

I know that I will wake up

And I will stay

To live again

Another day

And take a drive down hays field road
