The Pressure Is On (Again)

Robert James

There is a challenge on the FAWM Forum to write a song using the Ice Cream Chords. I–vi–IV–V. I took that challenge twice this year. This was the first try, and by far the better of the two (although that isn’t saying much). On this song I transposed the Ice Cream Chords to a minor key, resulting in i-VI-iv-v.

The lyrics are about when a good thing starts going bad, and the guitars are all ES 335 Pro.

Chorus:

the pressures on again
what more can you do
where do you go from here
how will they get to you

Verse 1:

I believe that the time has come
I believe that you need to run

Verse 2:

In your hands, you hold the key
Not your fault if they chose not to see

Bridge:

There is no reason
