I Gave it a Try – Original

Slow rock jam session with myself playing all instruments, one at a time, all the way thru in a single take. This ultimately turned into the song called I Gave it a Try on The Apple album. A few guitar layers with one trying to sound like a steel guitar with my Les Paul on my lap.

Song Lyrics

C Dm
Rollin down the lonely road
C Dm
Searchin for a sign
C Dm
That will lead me to
C Dm
Something to satisfy
——— CHORUS ————
Em
Can’t stand still
F
I’ll make it I will
G F
At least I know
Em Dm
I’ll sleep well tonight Because I
C
Gave it a try
——————————
C Dm
C Dm
C Dm
With your memory on my mind
C Dm
I know sometimes it doesn’t show
C Dm
I’ll take this road to the end of the line
C Dm
Then again…I know you know
C Dm
Takin time to listen to
C Dm
The rythm of the lonely road
C Dm
The path that leads me to you
C Dm
Is one I’ll always know
