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.

The Original Lyrics File
Early this morning
I heard you knock upon my door
(x2)
I said, "Hello, Satan -
I believe it's time to go"
Me and the devil
We were walking side by side
(x2)
I'm gonna love your woman, Satan
Till I'm satisfied
She said, "You may know your ways
But I've been dogged around"
"You may know your ways
But I can hear you come to dog me around"
Must be that evil spirit
Way deep down in the ground
We'll bury my body
Down by the highway-side
(x2)
That way my evil spirit
Can rise up, take a Greyhound bus and ride
(--> Heaven)
Everyone's tryin'
To get to the bar
The name of the bar
The bar is called Heaven
In Heaven the band plays
Our favorite song
They play it one more time
They play it all night long

Chorus:
Oh! Heaven
It is a place
A place where nothing
Nothing ever happens
And there is a party
Everyone is there
Everybody gonna leave at exactly the same time
Its hard to imagine
That nothin' at all
Could be so exciting
Chorus
And there is a party
Everyone is there
Everybody gonna leave at exactly the same time (line sometimes varies)
Its hard to imagine
That nothin' at all
Could be so exciting, or this much fun
Chorus X2
