Collaboration? - Guitar Instrumental For A Song Options

[Janice]

Hi everyone!

I was wondering if this would be the right place for me to ask if anyone would be interested in doing a (hopefully) simple collaboration with me? This is a song where a lyricist named Jonie Hajduk wrote the lyrics and I wrote the melody and chords (it was a creative challenge on the songwriting forum I'm on - hence the little introduction and speaking part at the end; a few others did their own musical spin on the lyrics too).



Chords - verses: Em - D - C - Am B7 - Em - D - C Am B7
Chords - bridges: Am7 D - C D - Am7 D - E
Chords - outro: Em - D - C - B7 Em

I want to make an mp3 recording version of this song but I don't have good recording capability for guitar right now. It's also tricky for me to record the guitar separately from the vocals because the timing is a bit free flowing throughout the song. And as you can see, it isn't easy for me to sing and play together!

Well, I was hoping someone who can record a pretty good quality track might be interested in recording the guitar instrumental for this! I can send the guitar chords and I'm hoping whoever does it could somehow use this video to help them with timing as this is how I would sing it. I'm very much open to the person adding their own creative spin on the instrumental piece too since what I have right now is pretty simple (because I just can't do anything more complicated)!

Well, please feel free to reply here or PM me. Thank you so much!

Janice

UPDATE: Thanks to Dieter for the great suggestion of putting the chords up here so people could experiment if they feel inspired to! I also added them below with the lyrics in case it's easier to follow that way! (hmm, I put spaces between the chords on the same line but when I "Complete Edit" they show up all bunched together. Help!)


Chastity (Game of Chances)
Lyrics by Jonie Hajduk
- guitar tuned down half step

Em

V1
Em
Chastity

D
Did you go to work today

C
Or did you go out and play

Am B7
Your game of chances?

Em
Were the trees still draped in gold

D
Were you sheltered from the cold

C Am B7
Beneath their branches?


Bridge
Am7 D
I see you in the park sometimes

C D
Altering your state of mind (mi-ind)

Am7 D
Shadows follow close behind

E
Never far--- away----


V2
Em
Chastity

D
Are you living in the past

C
In the place where hopes were dashed

Am B7
With such perfection?

Em
Are you dreaming you can win

D
On a wheel that only spins

C Am B7
In one direction?


Bridge
Am7 D
I see you in the park sometimes (sometimes)

C D
When you're there the sun won't shine

Am7 D
Not until you change your mind, oh~

E
Throw the dice away


Outro
Em
Chastity

D
Did you go to work today

C
Or did you go out and play

B7 Em
Your game of cha------nces?
