I wrote and practiced this song as an up-tempo ditty. Yet, when I turned on the camera, this is what came out. It's a little rough, but heart-felt...

All around very good, but that guitar's tone is incredible.  That thing sounds huge!  Very professional.

Nice strong singing and a great sound from the guitar all work really well on that song. Nice 1884 guitar too.

Thanks, Uncle John!  I'm glad the Bad To the Bone video is helpful, too.

 

Grave Digger (lyrics)

 

VERSE 1

When I first laid eyes on her

I didn't know what to think

When she turned her gaze to me

My heart began to sink

And I knew at that time

This could not be good

Then she took my life away

Just because she could

 

CHORUS (Full)

She was a grave digger

Opening up that hole

She was a grave digger

Burying my soul

 

VERSE 2

Have you ever met someone

Who affected you that way?

They can make you live or die

Just by what they say

And you know that it's no good

You want to travel on

But every time you try to leave

You find the chains are on!

 

CHORUS (Truncated)

She was a grave digger

She was a grave digger

 

REPEAT VERSE 1

 

CHORUS (Full)
