Gentlemen,

The Annual Jam Folk Song you both contributed to is far to awesome not to put up here. This was its debut year, and it was a little less than refined, what with you two holding the others verse notes in your mouth while playing your instrument, let alone me having no idea how to get the Line 6 to accept a microphone.

I think we have no option but to get better at that jam, and possibly expand it; you never know. This thread should be devoted to all things Annual Jam Folk Song, including but not limited to, the chord progression, rhythm, chorus, verses (currently existing and yet to come).

Get it posted up here for the rest of us (including you) to learn, and we'll kill it next year!

Awesome job with it brothers.

(Chorus):

At the Annual Jam, you'll see all the boys and the girls
and the road to Rockford comes from all over the world

We come every fall for well over ten years
for the food, the music, and Lordy - plenty of beers

(Verse):

And your verse, it goes here
starting with a fridge full of beer
and the Jim Beam bandits
pour shots for all their friends dear

And we all became pilgrims
traveling to Rockford with all our gear
where the fire burns high
and we wait for the smoke to clear Edited Sat Sep 27 2014, 06:26pm

(Verse):

With their guitars and their strings
and their drums and their things
that make the silence disappear

the drums they keep time
and the percussion it rhymes
and everything becomes so clear

(Verse):

We love to play music and jam all the time
in the garage we drink and we play and get high
and now we sing and we bring a new tone to the night
your soul will dance and we all feel alright

(Verse):

Load up the car and we'll hit the sand bar
'cause the lazy river will take you real far
and when the lights turn low
you'll see the glow of BURNING GUITAR

The grill will burn hot with bacon and brisket
don't be late to the table or you're gonna miss it
with Jim and Jack and vodka and bourbon
and just a bit more and we'll all be slurrin' Edited Sat Sep 27 2014, 06:27pm

The chord progression is: G, D, C, G, D...

The first three chords are a 4-count, the last two are a 2-count, then back to the beginning. Over and over till it ends (or doesn't)...

Here are my three verses so far:

VERSE 1:
I was once a young rogue
Wanderin'... with no real plans
Just an out-of-tune song in me voice
And an ooold guitar in my hands.

Then I met some good friends
We pulled out the DRUMS right away
Now I smile, though I still wander...
Tooo this verrry day!

VERSE 2:
Someone PLEASE grab the mic!
And tell me.. What do you like?
Is it RUM? Or sleeping past 2p.m.?
We've got that in spades, my friend.

And do.. YOU.. feel Mexican yet?
I been drinking since 8, but I'll surely bet
That we'll have fires roaring at 7 in the morning
WHILE we all smoke and sweat.

VERSE 3:
There's a certain TRIBAL CONNECTION
From this ground, up THROUGH THE ROOF
Like when we play 'Fingers' or 'Diddly Bow'
And all our minds melt in a poof

Can you please tell me - WHERE ARE MY PANTS??
I've got some Beam and I'm ready to dance!
Dave, please don't tell me that it's insignificant
We're together and I think that's the trick of it..

ROCK!!
