I've spent "lockdown" playing around with open D tuning on the guitar, it's quite interesting, but here's the thing... songs in this mode all sorta sound the same! Here's one looking for any input whatever, hopefully, someone will arrive to replace my guide vocals...

Background vocals now in place... thanks to Skookum!

120 BPM
Mainly variants of D maj... 

DRINKING MAN

Open D tuning 

Don’t say poor little old me 

You didn’t get to where you wanted to be

When you’re drinking its hard to stand tall

When you’re pissing it all up against a wall

When you pour a glass for to the drinking man

It helps destroy the things that he planned

And that’s why he’s drinking all alone

Just one more drink to help him get back home

TEN GREEN BOTTLES

STANDING ON THE WALL

There are jobs that he couldn’t find

And lovers that politely declined

They could smell last night on his breath

On life’s road he’s failing the road test 

When you pour a glass for the drinking man

His life won’t turn out the way that he planned

And that’s why he’s drinking all alone

Just one more drink to help him get back home

TEN GREEN BOTTLES

ROLLING ON THE FLOOR

More rum will keep out the cold

When you’re living just to get old

Cause he’s drowning in an open sea

And he’s waving waving to who he ought to be

When you pour a glass for the drinking man

His life won’t turn out the way that he planned

And that’s why he’s drinking all alone

Just one more drink to help him get back home

TEN GREEN BOTTLES

BROKEN ON THE FLOOR
