    (these were just meant to be question marks but that damned emotican monkey got involved again)

    I too have been experimenting with the old paper block! I whack the strings with it with malice aforethought sometimes!

    Jokes

    A young dyslexic boy runs up to his mother and asks if he can have a McDonald's? His mother looks down lovingly and says, 'If you can spell McDonald's, you can have one!'

    The boy concentrates for several minutes with a look of grim determination on his little face. He then sighs in resignation, looks up to his mother and says, 'F*ck it! I'll have a KCF instead!'

    Example Of Sheet Music With Lyrics

    Interesting topic! Not sure if this might be usefull to anybody? but I used to produce chord sheets for my songs. This helps in two ways. First, you can record the song straight through without fluffing the thing! Second, if you need to record another track over the first, (two guitars etc) then you don't get lost! This is an example of my own working sheet. This is very old now but illustrates pretty well what is required!

    The numbers under the chords represented the pattern number of the drum machine I was using at the time! There are a few 'musical' terms that I used, Repeats and codas; and in a few places I have used notes to indicate single strikes of a chord, (as at the intro) or a triplet. This may not be to everyones taste, and it may be meaningless to some! But it certainly helpes me in my structure of a song.

    I have also produced lead sheets to some songs that I have distributed to singers!
