If I’m not writing about heroes, outlaws, and fast moving trains, I’m writing about the American cowboy. I wrote this song as a tribute to cowboys! That dying breed of men that dust off their chaps and climb back in the saddle again.

Dust Off Your Chaps
© Daniel Hammond



Verse

G Gbm Em\B D C D G G
Lawyers, Sold my horses, The bank stole my land
C C G G Am7 Am7 Am(Maj7) D7
My wife’s gone on holiday, With another woman’s man
G Gbm Em\B D C D G G
Green, Fertile valley, A cabin on the hill
C Bm Am D C D G G G G
She got the house, And my pick up, And I got stuck with the bill



Chorus

G Gbm Em\B D C D G G
Dust off your chaps, Fix that crease in your hat, And climb back in the saddle, And hang on
G Gbm Em\B D C D D
Sometimes, You can ride-em,’ And sometimes you can barely stay on
G Gbm Em\B D C D G G
So dust off your chaps, Fix that crease in your hat, And climb back in the saddle, And hang on
G Gbm Em\B D C D D G G G G G G
Sometimes, You can ride-em,’ And sometimes, You get thrown



Verse

G Gbm Em\B D C D G G G G
Everyone loves a cowboy, Except the woman that bares his name
C C G G Am7 Am7 Am(Maj7) D7
I need, A good hearted woman, To help me start over again
G Gbm Em\B D C D G G
Don’t you, Let-em’ break you, Cowboy you be strong
C Bm Am D C D G G
Tie on your dusty bandana, And keep pushing those doggies along



Chorus

G Gbm Em\B D C D G G
Dust off your chaps, Fix that crease in your hat, And climb back in the saddle, And hang on
G Gbm Em\B D C D D
Sometimes, You can ride-em,’ And sometimes you can barely stay on
G Gbm Em\B D C D G G
So dust off your chaps, Fix that crease in your hat, And climb back in the saddle, And hang on
G Gbm Em\B D C D D G G G G G G
Sometimes, You can ride-em,’ And sometimes, You get thrown




Bridge

B B Em Em Am7 Am7 Am(Maj7) D7
There’s too many, Damsels, In distress, For cowboys, To just fade away…

Let me know what you think. Here is a little Christmas tune I just wrote, just in time for Thanksgiving.

Everyday Is Christmas Day
© Daniel Hammond


Please, Pardon me, I’m trimming the Christmas Tree
It seems, I’m running, Just a touch behind
I’m stringing, Some popcorn, For a mile long line
And I’m, Running out, Of time

Chorus
Are you ready for Christmas, It’s already late July
I know there’s no sign of snow, And it’s awful hot outside
Us kids we’d drive mama crazy, Waiting on Christmas day
So now, That I’m, The kid in Charge, Everyday is, Christmas Day

Bridge
Our Palm Trees, Are ribboned in red, Like giant candy canes
And the white, Beach, Sand, Serves as snow
The stars are shimmering, On the sea waves tonight
Everyday is, Christmas Day

Chorus
Are you ready for Christmas, It’s already late July
I know there’s no sign of snow, And it’s awful hot outside
Us kids we’d drive mama crazy, Waiting on Christmas day
So now, That I’m, The kid in Charge, Everyday is, Christmas Day

Bridge
Our Palm Trees, Are ribboned in red, Like giant candy canes
And the white, Beech, Sand, Serves as snow
The stars are shimmering, On the sea waves tonight
Everyday is, Christmas Day

The stars are shimmering, On the sea waves tonight
Everyday is, Christmas Day

Susan and I were out early this morning getting ready to do chores and took a nice peaceful video of the Jersey cows. The music being played with the video is our latest song. Susan is playing the flute, my friend Josh Porter is singing harmonies and playing an electric guitar solo, and my son David is playing the bass, electric guitar and doing all the engineering work and mixing. This was a fun family project. Give it a listen and let us know what you think about the farm and the song!

Too Late Run
Copyright Daniel Hammond

I never, Saw, It comin, Never heard, A whistle, Blow

Never felt, The ground, Tremblin, Til I read your goodbye note

Chorus:

Your leavin, Hit, Like a freight train

I should have seen the warnin signs

By the time, I heard the train comin

It was, Too late to run

Never smelled, The creosote, Burnin, In the scorchin, July sun

Never felt, Steam, Risin, Driftin, Through the pines

Chorus:

Your leavin, Hit, Like a freight train

I should have seen the warning signs

By the time, I heard the train comin

It was, Too late to run


Bridge: I need to see you again, Just to tell you how sorry I am

Chorus:

Your leavin, Hit, Like a freight train

I should have seen the warnin signs

By the time, I heard the train comin

It was, Too late to run

Tag: Yeah by the time I saw the train comin, It was, Too late to run
