Soothsayer Blues
Copyright © 2012 SteveStrummerUK, Old55, Beagle, Bapu

Opening solo: Jamesg1213


Verse 1:      
Curse the Mayan calendar, Somehow that just can't be right.
I can't wait December twenty-twelve, I can't wait another night. 
That Nostradamus, don't make sense at all
I wonder where he bought his crystal balls.

Chorus:
Heaven help me.
I got the soothsayer blues,
The world's gonna end. 
Say my soothsayer friends.  
I got the soothsayer blues.

Solo 1a: SteveStrummerUK
Solo 1b: Daryl1968


Verse 2:
You can't trust that horoscope, It’s retrograde and much too vague
I just need a few more facts, So I won't read that useless page
Toss the tarot, And the Ouija board
Those parlor games, Don't thrill me no more

Repeat Chorus

Solo 2a: ohgrant
Solo 2b: Steve StrummerUK
 
Verse 3:
Don’t eat the Chinese fortune cookies, and don’t ya go and toss those runes.
Why does the future have to be so drear?  Why can’t it be just as bright and clear?
Fortune tellers have caused such a fright!  Why does the end have to be black and white?


Repeat Chorus x2

Outtro licks: SteveStrummerUK

Not bad

Below is probably down to me being an Alien with furry ears.

For me but it sounds a little "thin" perhaps a tad to much reverb.  Seem to lack bottom weight.

Thanks for sharing, I am sure once tweaked it is going to be a real cool work.  

Love the tune and great playing!!!  What happened to the low end???  Sounds like everything below about 250 got rolled off or something.  ??

Re-tweak forthcoming?  ( I hate when that happens...  I had to re-tweak my offering 5 minutes after I posted it this morning...  LOL)

This is a cool song and very topical.  It's a little lite on my end, as well.  But, since this is so tweakable, you shouldn't take any time at all to punch this up.

Is it me or is that dulcimer slightly out of tune?
 
The Beag is rockin' this one for me I'm lovin' the vocal.

Was that Eddie VanHalen on the Dulcimer? 

The guitars sound great!

Jonbouy


Is it me or is that dulcimer slightly out of tune? 

Aren't they always?

Pretty cool tune folks..... Beagle, great job on the vox... the best I have EVER heard from you. 

Can I make a prediction? ..... nahhhhh lets just see how this whole thing works out.... 

If I was sure the world was gonna end in a few more weeks I would certainly cancel that dentist appointment I have in the AM..... 

At least wait until season 3 of the walking dead is done.... 

Cool blues there.

I think I've got the SSBs as well. We could only be so lucky! lol!

Well done by all!

Other than being a bit thin as mentioned before and way too much organ...this was pretty damn awesome.
