about

I'm on voice and lead guitar, Burr Johnson comps backup and he's on bass and drums. Co-produced.

lyrics

This song's got chords like
No other song's got
I like to play them
On my guitar

I like the way they
Slide through my fingers
So fun and jazzy
That's Cherokee

Thank you Ray Noble
For writing these changes
That so many fingers
Have danced through the ages

I like as you like
As jazzers to play them
But your words aint so hot
So that's why I changed them.

(Yea so his words go something like...)
Sweet Indian maiden
Since first I met you
I can't forget you
Cherokee sweetheart

(Goes on like this..)
Child of the prairie
Your love keeps callin
My heart enthrallin
(... Yes it does, yes it does
And then it goes...)
Cherokee

(Here's the bridge...)
Dreams of summertime
Of lover time
Gone by
Throng my memory
So tenderly
And sigh
My

Sweet Indian maiden
One day I'll hold you
In my arms enfold you
Cherokee
(... And that's it)

I write from the chord voicings and I write from the voice inside. Some songs channel moments. Sometimes words just sound good. I like to let the song speak and I like to work with others on that.
