Hey illywobbelle! sorry.. illwobble hey man, I need your help, you have to post the chords for Penguin, I cannot figure it out! I suck. I thought I had it but now I can't remember what I did and it didn't sound right to begin with., and I want to play it! ...I bet audi could pick it out. man, I'm disappointing myself I have most of it but... the part that goes when the cold wind blows around.. no shelter to be found.. etc I just cannot get right. Can Magnus help me out on that? nice song man.
Hey, exciting, you're working on it!! I'm looking forward to this. I have a few vague notes of chords, but I must get them all written out properly too. Magnus played on Capo2, in G, and the "cold wind blows around" bit I think goes from the D onto C, D, Em, and then in the next line they come back again Em, D, C on the "to be found". Hope this helps in the mean-time, but sometime I'll write out the chords in full and get Magnus to check if they're all right.

Yeah that?s the part I?m talking about! I know its that 3 chord move, twice in a row. . I will try your chords, I can?t remember what the hell I was doing! I think it?s the 2nd three chords I was messing up especially. and even that chord when it goes when it snows.. and the cold.., (is that the right lyric?) not sure I have the right initial chord there. And actually I need to be sure on the chords during those little moving up low notes in the verse too! but at least I have the low notes. Interesting to hear he capo?d it, I might have to look into that. Was that mainly to give you the right vocal range?
Yes, capo is because of my limited vocal range! Here's what I have scribbled down as chords for the verse and chorus, but I still need to get Magnus to check them and add anything else he does in there. Verse: G A penguin slides down an icy slope G G A Bb The penguin glides through the icy sea B C But you and me We don't get by so easily Chorus: D7 When it gets cold D C D Em And the cold wind blows around Em Em D C D There's no shelter to be found from the icy storm G I can keep you warm I think I'm missing a chord change on last line of the verse but I don't think it's a complex one!

Thanks KPU! Good to hear from you! You are a great and mighty man! Not much been going on for a while recording-wise, except I got Magnus to help recording demos of a load of songs my wife wrote over the past few years. Other things are getting in the way at the moment I'm afraid, and the next few weeks probably will be busy and maybe a little crazy. Still really looking forward to hearing your version of Penguin, and I hope I'll be able to do something else before too long.

picture guy!
Yeah ok! Well my wife's are mainly Christian songs, nearly all based on scriptures. I wrote a couple like that BEFORE I met her, and then she started doing it instead! She does absolutely have a good melodic ear. Her song "Come Away", for instance, is really beautiful, based on some romantic lyrics from the Song of Solomon. She does a nice viola improv in it too:

Thanks Josh! Very nice. Nice just to have it up on YouTube with a penguin pic, which I tried to do but failed a few months ago. Nice additions, although I'll have to listen a few more times and give more feedback later. Really good to have your input on the song! Looking forward to hearing your HoD, audi!

Thanks, I could only really add vocal kinda stuff cos a lot of my recording gear has been packed away since I went to uni. But i did the best with what I had and I think it turned out good. Of course it wouldn't have been possible without this awesome song to work on!
