How To Write A Song Cifras

[Verse 1]
C        E7                      A7
This the first verse of this song
D                    G             C     G7
It sets the beat and it starts off strong
C                    E7            A7
The song is fast, in four four time
D                  G                 C
It's a snappy tune and the words all rhyme
 
 
[Verse 2]
C       E7                         A7
Now the second verse has different words
D                  G                     C     G7
But the tune's the same as the first you heard
C                    E7             A7
We'll hit the chorus before you get bored
D                     G          C     C7
Then keep you hanging with a 7th chord
 
[Chorus]
And the chorus goes…
F                               C             C7
sexy voice, catchy phrase and a musical hook
F                               C             C7
sexy voice, catchy phrase and a musical hook
F                               C             C7
sexy voice, catchy phrase and a musical hook
A7          D                                  G
And the background singers all sing gobble dee gook .....
 
(background singers)
gobble dee gook….
gobble dee gook ….
 
 
[Verse 3]
C                           E7             A7
Now, here's the third verse with a tale to tell
D                             G        C     G7
It's the same old tune but the voices swell
C                    E7             A7
The words are trite, the emotion's fake (oh yeah!)
D                  G              C
It resolves into a musical break
 
[MUSICAL BREAK]
(musical solo)
C  E7  A7
D  G   C  G7
C  E7  A7
D  G   C
 
(background singers)
D     G
dooby dabba
D     G
dooby dabba
C        C7
dooby do waaaaaiiiii….
 
 
[Verse 4]
C                    E7         A7
The fourth stanza is always the best
D                 G             C     G7
It's almost done, I can take a rest
C                     E7            A7
So one last time, our voices blend
D                         G           C
Slow it right down, let's call it the end
 
 
[Chorus]
And the chorus goes…
F                               C             C7
sexy voice, catchy phrase and a musical hook
F                               C             C7
sexy voice, catchy phrase and a musical hook
F                               C             C7
sexy voice, catchy phrase and a musical hook
A7          D                                  G
And the background singers all sing gobble dee gook .....
 
(background singers)
gobble dee gook….
gobble dee gook ….
 
 
 
[Outro]
(with background singers)
D          G

C          C7
