High Tide Or Low Tide

2006年12月30日（土）

今日の編集長のブログが、【Heart Of Gold】だったのでビックリした。
実は僕も、いつかこの曲をネタにしてブログを書こうと思っていたので、下書き保存していたのだ。
でも、もう使えない！（涙）

ということで、なにかいい曲ないかなあ、と探したところ、これしかねえべ！と思いついたのがこの曲、

【High Tide Or Low Tide】

この曲は、編集長のブログでもたびたび登場しているので知られているけど、オリジナルのボブさんのではなくて、ベンちゃんとジャックさんが共演したHT or LTがあって、その曲がめちゃめちゃステキで、ぜひ海を知るみなさんに聴いてほしい曲です。

ブログで音を鳴らすことはできないので、今日は歌詞とギターコードを書いてみました。
訳詞も書きたいけど、僕の英語力じゃオボロゲにしかわからんとですだ（汗）。

コードもスタンダードなものばかりで、メロディのテンポもメロウなので、すぐに弾けますよ。

波乗りの合間に、または、部屋で静かにポロロン♪、といかがですか？
