Title: The Sun Has Got It's Hat On (Andy/Frank/Steve/Holger)
Post by: AndyG6508 on August 27, 2017, 10:59:14 AM
A neat collaboration with my good friends Holger, Frank and Steve.

Easy flowing country rock.

Holger was brilliant on the vocals, Frank provided the tasteful acoustic and electric guitars, along with a super mix, while Steve contributed an energetic drums track which injected the song with some oomph.

It was a pleasure working you gentlemen.

The Sun Has Got It’s Hat On (126bpm)
Intro: G C D x2
1st verse:
G                      Am
All that time out in the sun
C                              G
Didn’t mean much to anyone
D                        Am                          D
Could it be you’re not coming back this way

2nd  verse:
Hours spent out in the rain
Only serves to highlight pain
Could it be you’re not coming back again

Chorus:
G          C              D
Well it’s not too surprising
G             C                       D
Should’ve known bad moon rising
G      B7                 C
Dark skies in the horizon
            Am  C               G
And the sun has got his hat on

Solo:
D    G    D   C   G/B  
G C D x2

3rd verse:
Years of good luck spent on you
Had to come a day now they’re through
Could it be you’re not coming back this way

4th verse:
You may think this a stupid song
And you’re glad you don’t belong
Could it be you’re not coming back again

Chorus:
Well it’s not too surprising
Should’ve known bad moon rising
Dark skies in the horizon
And the sun has got it’s hat on
And the sun has got it’s hat on

Outro: A/ E/ G/ D/ F/ C/ G

Credits:
Frank Zax: Acoustic and electric guitars, mix/master

Thanks, Al.

I think it's really cool that we were able to get 2 very different versions of this song done (Yesterday's Love with you on vocals being the other one, of course).   8)

Brilliant job by all, really takes me back to circa 1980 or so and what was going on around then. Not derivative of anyone, just sort of captures the vibe of that time for me. Bravo gentlemen.
