New Tag

Help

Q: What are tags?
A: Tags are a way to add consistent notes to songs.

Q: When should I use tags?
A: Tags should be used for "notes" that can apply to multiple songs or performances. A good tag would be "clawhammer", to apply to all songs that Billy plays on his banjo. A bad tag would be "Streaker ran across stage" - since this has only happened once (thank goodness).

Q: Where should I add a tag?
A: A tag that should apply to everytime a song is played, like "solo, acappella" for "And am I Born to Die" should be added on the songs page. This will automatically add the tag every time that song is added to a setlist.

A tag that only applies to certain performances of a song, like "pay Jarrod Walker's fine" lyric change that happens in some versions of "Little Maggie" should be added to that particular version of the song on each setlist.

Q: How do I add a tag?
A: Click the "Manage tags" button either from the songs page or the song editing option on the edit setlist page. Click on a tag from the "Available" tags to add it to the song. Click on a tag from under the song title to remove it from the song. Click the "New Tag" button if the tag you want to add is not under the Available tags list.

Billy Strings

Billy Strings - EP (EP)


[Verse 1]
I'm heartbroken and I'm feelin' low-down
I'm sick and tired of the life I live around this old town
And I'm gettin' tired of cryin' over you
So honey, here's what I'm gonna do:

[Chorus]
I'm takin' the slow train for a long ride
I'm gonna stay a long time
Losin' an old love, startin' a new life
I'm takin' the slow train, leavin' tonight

[Verse 2]
Well I'm as lonesome as a soul could be
I've got to find someone who cares a little bit for me
And I'm gettin' tired of goin' down the track
Still honey, I ain't never comin' back

[Chorus]
I'm takin' the slow train for a long ride
I'm gonna stay a long time
Losin' an old love, startin' a new life
I'm takin' that slow train, leavin' tonight

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
I'm takin' that slow train for a long ride
I'm gonna stay a long time
Losin' an old love, startin' a new life
I'm takin' that slow train, leavin' tonight
I'm takin' that slow train, leavin' tonight
