W2: Riff-Driven!

Liner Notes:

It's just the outline of a song I wrote to this poem I found tucked in my Facebook notes.
I am a composer not a player so the playing is novice.
People were home so I had to sing quietly.
Sounds cool as shit.

Lyrics:

There once was a dolly

Different from the rest

She had marker on her arms

and a beat in her chest

The other playthings would scream

"Go home,

No one wants you here"

And dolly would cry

Sad little felt pen tears

C Em Bm G+

But things started to change as time passed by

Dolly got smart and Dolly got kind

Dolly got cute and she had many friends

Everyone loved Dolly and thought of her so well

But in the mirror she thought mean and homely

No matter what her friends could say or do

She couldn't see what she had grown into

So she hid from the good she knew in herself

Dolly you're beautiful

Dolly you're sweet

Dolly you're loved by everyone you meet

Dolly you're different and that is good

Come on baby do what we knew you could

Now! the things that drove the others way

Ended up making your new friends stay

So! Dolly come home, Forget the slanderers

They're long gone

You're so much more than you say you are

  You and your party of synthesizers need to hang with me by the way.

  @gslade Thank you kindly! I can barely play guitar and I am ok at the bass so.. I did what came naturally haha.
  @lee Thanks bro. I need you to play guitar for when I actually record it and I think your voice would be good for back ups on this. Wanna?

  interesting take on the riff challenge..using the bass riff instead of guitar riff

  Cool. Style reminds me of the singing in Porcelain by RHCP

  Thanks man. I wish I remembered what I played..
  That is pretty juicy right there.
