Broadjam Member Reviews
Well written song. Nice barebones production with acoustic guitars
- Wallflower Joe
Nice sounding stereo acoustic guitars. Great sounding recording. The playing and singing were right on target for this song.
- Howard Siden
Different take on a blues theme which is really refreshing. Somewhat reminiscent of America. like the chord change at the end of the verses. Unique vocalist with a cool style.
- Wayne Ammons
Nice playing and singing, god song, it's got definite potential in a modern country market with the right production.

Lyrics
LA NEW YEARS BLUES (COPYRIGHTED 2015)
(Feel free to put an Instrumental BRIDGE after last verse)
CHORUS 1:
A7 B7 C7
Another year and I'm looking for her
Killing pain with more cheap booze
Just living a way with no more virtues
Everything is fuzzy and just a blur
You got to love the LA New Years blues..............
Yeah, you got to love the LA blues
CHORUS 2:
A7 B7 C7
Another year that ended badly
Walking around in worn out shoes
In another Tin Pan Alley
I am lost, I stand accused
You got to love the LA New Years blues
Yeah, you got to love the LA blues
VERSE: 1
CM7 (2-3 strums DOWN) FMAJ7 (2-3 Strums UP)
She took it away on a Chicago train
Didn't know she'd could leave me this low
Millions of people and I'm alone in this pain
G AMaj7
Another failed love and nothing to show
Verse 2
Been a year since I started these blues
Another year I seem to choose to lose
All my dreams are dead so it seems
G AMaj7
Booze and sorrow just my constant theme
Verse 3
I remember days of being by the sea
Feeling the love and being easy and free
The stars don't burn as bright at night
G AMaj7
Since you've been gone, nothing is right
