I recorded a demo of me singing ‘You Got Lucky’ by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers:

White Hoods In The White House – Lyrics
White Hoods In The White House
Who’s gonna wash those white hoods in the White House?
They’re gonna find out!
Break out their finest crosses to burn on the Front Lawn
They get so turned on!
Pretend to not feel the heat, so comfy in that seat
Check your heart beat!
Maybe they won’t come for you, if you follow their rules
Such a fool!
If you need us we’ll be out in the street
Marching toward freedom, it won’t be on TV
If you need us we’ll be out in the street
Marching toward justice, it won’t be on TV
Watch the waters keep rising, while compromising
Just jump in!
It wasn’t so far back in history, it’s no mystery
We said “Never again!”
If you need us we’ll be out in the street
Marching toward freedom, it won’t be on TV
If you need us we’ll be out in the street
Marching toward justice, it won’t be on TV
If you need us we’ll be out in the street
Marching for our sisters, it won’t be on TV
If you need us we’ll be out in the street
Marching for our brothers, it won’t be on TV
As Good As It Gets – Lyrics
As Good As It Gets
You say you’re a bullfighter, but I cheer, I cheer for the bull
They try to orbit this fool, but I push, I push before I pull
I slip the shackle from my wrist, will my hand fold to a fist?
Why do I tilt at windmills, my dear?, I should lean into that kiss
I always feel like there’s no time to waste
I’ve gotta run some race, lose some face
No matter how high I climb the Sun always sets
I’m gonna place some bets, pay with regrets
I will quicken my pace so I can see that face
Get that sweet aftertaste, let me plead my case
I won’t win statuettes, but I am still possessed
I will take my best guess, is this as good as it gets?
Yes I like the impossible, my hope’s unstoppable, keep my blood pounding to the end
It could be my heart’s unbreakable, uncontainable, but let’s see if it can bend
I always feel like there’s no time to waste
I’ve gotta run some race, lose some face
No matter how high I climb the Sun always sets
I’m gonna place some bets, pay with regrets
I will quicken my pace so I can see that face
Get that sweet aftertaste, let me plead my case
I won’t win statuettes, but I am still possessed
I will take my best guess, is this as good as it gets?
I always feel like there’s no time to waste
I’ve gotta run some race, lose some face
No matter how high I climb the Sun always sets
I’m gonna place some bets, pay with regrets
I will quicken my pace so I can see that face
Get that sweet aftertaste, let me plead my case
I won’t win statuettes, but I am still possessed
I will take my best guess, is this as good as it gets?
‘Mexico’ Handwritten Words and Music
I found a cool app that let’s me plug in my chord finger positions and it gives me the name of the chords I’m playing, so now I can write out my music and not be completely wrong. ‘Mexico ‘ is one of my songs that people cover the most so I figured I’d chart it out first, here are the words and chords:

Yes, I know, my handwriting is terrible. Hopefully you can Rosetta Stone your way through it.

Suite: Maid Of The Guillotine – Lyrics
Part I
You had your chance to get away
You probably could have paid
But now, here we come, wherever you run
We’ll end this masquerade
You could hear when we begged for mercy for our families
Your heart knew it was wrong
It’s sad justice, it had to be this way
We waited so long, so so long
Part 2
What have you got in your basket, fair maid of the guillotine?
What have you got in your basket, fair maid of the guillotine?
We’ll trade the heads of rich men for our freedom, the cut is clean
We’ll trade the heads of rich men for our freedom, the cut is clean
Part 3
We don’t have to take this shit no more, we don’t have to listen to you
We finally settled the score, now our world is a brighter hue
So let’s get down, down to what feels good
Grooving on their graves, can’t be misunderstood
So let’s get down, down to what feels good
Dancing on their graves, can’t be misunderstood
So let’s get down, down to what feels good
Grooving on their graves, can’t be misunderstood
Take Me – Lyrics
In pieces
But not broken
Deafening
But unspoken
Waiting like a child
With a practiced smile
For you to take me
Take me
In the valley of the shadow
On a mountain in the light
It’s like asking the wind
Lifting a summertime kite
Take me
Take me
It was supposed to be like this
I guess it has to be like this
It’s supposed to be like this
Why does it have to be like this?
But I still whisper
I still whisper
Take me
Take me
Pulse – Lyrics
Your words are burning in my eyes
Homeward bound, fleetingly wise
His hands are burning up your thighs
Your teeth chewing lies
Now is just a bruise of love
The rapid pulse before a shove
This is just a bruise of love
What was below is now above
Begging so long it’s making me raw
Piercing your side with a trembling claw
You can’t blame me for wanting a theme
Preferring the march of a beauty queen
Now is just a bruise of love
The rapid pulse before a shove
This is just a bruise of love
What was below is now above
“We looked up to you” they said
It’s just me, the dial going red
Come back, all is forgiven
The stone moved, I am risen
The stone moved, I am risen
Now is just a bruise of love
The rapid pulse before a shove
This is just a bruise of love
What was below is now above
