Jim Croce: "Lover's Cross" Cover

[GreedylilPig]

Just a quick one-take after putting some new strings on the Larivee. Any input appreciated.

Well, I guess that it was bound to happen
Was just a matter of time
Now I've come to my decision
And it's one of the painful kind
Now it seems that you wanted a martyr
Just a regular guy wouldn't do
Baby I can't hang upon no lover's cross for you.

Hey I really got to hand it to you
'Cause girl you really tried
But for ev'ry time that we spent laughin'
There were two times that I cried
You were tryin' to make me your martyr
That's one thing I just couldn't do
'Cause baby I can't hang upon no lover's cross for you.

'Cause tables are meant for turning
And people are bound to change
And bridges are meant for burning
When the people and mem'ries they join aren't the same.

But I hope that you can find another
Who could take what I could not
He'll have to be a super guy, or maybe a super god
'Cause I never was much of a martyr before
And I ain't 'bout to start nothin' new
And baby I can't hang upon no lover's cross for you.

'Cause tables are meant for turning
And people are bound to change
And bridges are meant for burning
When the people and mem'ries they join aren't the same.

And baby I can't hang upon no lover's cross for you.

Wow, some Jim Croce love...The guitar sounded spot on and those strings sound great. Vocals were good too. I would say that the mix sounded a little off, turn the guitar down a little, or the vocals up, i don't know which.

Overall great, btw what did you use for a tab? I have a hard time finding acurate stuff for Jim Croce.

Thanks, and yeah, I think the guitar may be a bit loud.

As for the tab, I forget where I got it years ago. It's in my head. If you're really interested, I could tab it out for you.

Sure. I found this tab online: http://www.911tabs.com/link/?2249711

It's not exactly what you hear in my recording, but it's fairly close.

Great as usual, Brian. The Larrivee sounds great (surprise! )
