Story Behind the Song
Avril had the lyrics first and I added the music. It was written from a woman's point of view, so I changed it to a male guitar player's perspective. I had blues in my head, but it turned out to be a more soft pop/blues song.
Vocals by myself and my sister Babs.
Lyrics
ME AND MY GUITAR: DAIRYBEAT (André H. Hofman/Avril Hofman - 2002) 8/4–76 in G.
ME AND MY GUITAR, WALKED INTO HER LIFE. SHE DIDN’T WANT MY TROUBLES, SHE DIDN’T WANT MY STRIFE. SHE’S AN INDEPENDENT WOMAN, DON’T NEED NO LOW DOWN MAN.
TO TELL HER WHAT SHE SHOULDN’T DO, TO TELL HER WHAT SHE CAN.
I SANG MY ROCK AND ROLL BALLADS, TRIED TO MAKE HER SWEET. AND WHEN SHE TOLD ME NO,
I JUST TURNED UP THE HEAT. THIS INDEPENDENT WOMAN, CAN BE JUST LIKE A MAN.
CHANGING LOVERS BY THE DOZEN, JUST BECAUSE SHE CAN.
BUT MY GUITAR SANG GENTLY, SHIVERS DOWN HER SPINE. SHE COULDN’T RESIST MY PLAYIN’,
SO I REALLY MADE HER MINE. THE PASSION IN MY MUSIC, THE PASSION IN HER SOUL.
WE’D GET IT ON TOGETHER, MAKE SOME GOOD OLD ROCK AND ROLL.
I SANG MY ROCK AND ROLL BALLADS, TRIED TO MAKE HER SWEET. AND WHEN SHE TOLD ME NO,
I JUST TURNED UP THE HEAT. THIS INDEPENDENT WOMAN, CAN BE JUST LIKE A MAN.
CHANGING LOVERS BY THE DOZEN, JUST BECAUSE SHE CAN.
BUT MY GUITAR SANG GENTLY, SHIVERS DOWN HER SPINE. SHE COULDN’T RESIST MY PLAYIN’,
SO I REALLY MADE HER MINE. THE PASSION IN MY MUSIC, THE PASSION IN HER SOUL.
WE’D GET IT ON TOGETHER, MAKE SOME GOOD OLD ROCK AND ROLL.
