Product Description
By Mike Strand, ASCAP
This is a rock tune lead sheet with lyrics, chords and guitar fret boards, for a rock group with singer or solo instrumentalist. It's a good basis for a variety of arrangements and rock band set ups.
The audio sample is a rock quartet: An iReal Pro pop rock accompaniment, combined with my tune from Finale PrintMusic.
Note that the first two lines share the same melody but differ in their chords. This brings about an interesting and attractive effect -- the second line sounds higher in pitch than the first (to the composer, at least), but the pitches are the same!
A swing version of Chrome Fender is also for sale on this web site.
Here are the Chrome Fender lyrics, based on my family's 1949 Mercury V-8 that my dad gave me when I turned 16:
My '49 Merc' needs one chrome fender,
And I can't get the cash from a lender.
It was a scrap pile, but it's been worthwhile
To fix her up, not just forget her.
I don't want to be just a pretender,
At the show for old cars, but a Contender!
My Merc' will look sharp, when I take off her tarp!
But I still need that chrome fender.
Or I'll go on a big bender!
