Rock and Reel Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I suppose writing music is like writing a novel, it helps to write about what you know. This is a song I wrote last year, I'm sure some of you can relate. I may try and put it online but until then try it with a blues rhythm in 4/4. :o) Menopause Blues E G# They call it menopause, yeah it's the change of life A Gdim Makes me wonder what happened to my wife E C#7 She's sweatin' down to her shoes F# B7 She's got the menopause blues E G# Hot flashes and a... change of mood A Gdim Didn't know my baby could ...be so rude E C#7 I finally got the news F# B7 E / E7 She's got the menopause blues Bridge A7 Gdim Well we were... gettin' older and the... kids were grown E E7 I thought I'd earned some luck F# now all she does is ***** and moan and I'm B7 sleeping in my pick-up truck! Now if we argue... she'll always win Makes me wish that I was ...born a twin I'm feelin' so misused I got the menopause blues Bridge She turns the AC on when she gets hot and then the rest of us freeze She turns the heat on when she gets a chill baby, pick a temperature PLEASE! One of these days she's gonna finish changin' And then my life she'll stop re-arrangin' Till then I got nothin' to lose She's got the menopause blues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock and Reel Posted January 27, 2012 Author Share Posted January 27, 2012 Hilarious, have you recorded this hit tune? I figured some of us "Advanced Members" could relate. In fairness to my bride, this isn't about her. Though she has beensuffering with this for a few years now she is still the most pleasant woman I've ever known..... even when she's fire engine red and sweating bullets! I'll try to record and post the tune. I have a Tascam 2488 neo but the learning curve is steeper than I anticipated. I may have to read the manual. Until then I'd love to hear some of the board member's renditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissouriPicker Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Very funny. If your wife doesn't like it, tell her "the truth hurts." I'd tell my wife that, but I'd rather you tell your's...lol......Good song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
