Tous Les Animaux Sont Tristes - Ralph McTell Guitar Chords

INTRO--D--C/D--B/D--A/D-
G--------D---C----------D
Tous les animaux sont tristes
C-------------D------G
Apres avoir faire l'amour
G-------------D----------C--------D
Wondering if there was more than this
C-------------------D--------G---[--------F#/G---Em-
Wishing that there could be more-[just a little more. ]
--Asus-Am---D--C/D--B/D--A/D-]

G----------------D-----C---D
Harry bought a little boat
G---------------------D----------C---D
And with his boat he made some money
G---------------------D---------------C---D
His wife bore him a daughter and two sons
G---------------------D---------------C---D
The sun shone and they were never hungry
G-----------------D---------------C---D
He bought more boats, a bigger house
G-----------------D-------C---D
And more ships were his goal
G----------D-----C-----D
But even after making love
G---------------------D------C---D
There was a darkness in his soul.

Chorus

His fortune and his children grew strong
His wife slept sweet contented
He paced the floor till dawn sometimes
Until the night relented
One morning he heard a song bird sing
A song to take his darkness away
And he put a roof over his garden
So that forever it would stay.

Chorus

But the songbird was small and plain
With its heartache healing song
And he tired of the repetition
And wished that it was gone
So he tore the roof from off his garden
But he'd fed the bird and it remained
Till he shot a silver arrow through her heart
And his darkness came again.

Chorus

In time the children forgot
The loss of their singing bird
And the light came back to their garden
As his emptiness returned
So he sailed away in one of his ships
Married a rich widow in America
In photographs they were always smiling
He needed her but did he really love her?

Chorus

Sand in Your Shoes - Ralph McTell Guitar Chords

She was hardly out of school

Your pride's been somewhat bruised

You cried the dust from out of your eyes

But you've still got sand in your shoes,
A-------------------------D
Got a little sand in your shoes.

Sluggish Windows Media Player in Windows Vista with Sigmatel Sound Card

If you are experiencing Windows Media Player loading times slower than your last computer in Windows Vista, you may have a Sigmatel sound card; here's how to fix it.
1. Right click on your sound icon in the corner, and click on playback devices.
2. Underneath the Speakers/Headphones item, it should say "SigmaTel High Definition Audio CODEC" if it doesn't then you have a different sound card, this tip may not work for you.
3. Double click on Speakers/Headphones.
4. Place a tick in "Disable All Enhancements" even if none of the enhancements below have a tick next to them. If they do, untick them.
5. OK your way out, Windows Media Player should be much faster with no stuttering.

NOTE: If you have surround sound music may not play out of all your speakers at once with enhancements disabled.

GrabBee X+ trouble - how to get it working with XP SP2 (and maybe SP3)

If you are having problems with your grabbee appearing as a 2801 device or something similiar, this is what worked for me..

First, unplug your grabbee and uninstall all software related to it (jukebox, usb audio/video driver, etc)
Click here to go to the VideoHome website with the latest driver, download it (this will take some time as they seem to have slow servers) Install this driver and reboot. Now plug your Grabbee back in. This is strange but it worked for me: go to Device Manager (start, run, type "devmgmt.msc" and hit enter) under Sound, video and game controllers find 2801 USB device (or something similiar) and right click on it. Choose properties and click on the Driver tab. Next click on update driver, then choose advanced on the wizard. Next click "I will choose the driver to install" at this point you may have a choice of a USB 2801 device or a GrabbeeX+, choose GrabbeeX+ then click "have disk". Browse to where you downloaded the updated drivers and drill down to "Manual driver" then "32 bit" (or 64 if you're on 64 bit windows I would guess!) and click OK. Click next and the new driver should now install. When this is finished close device manager and insert the CD that came with you grabbee and browse to the "AP Software" folder and run Setup.exe, to install the video jukebox program. There is an updated version of this on the videohome website but it did not work at all for me. Once that is installed run the jukebox software and it should now be working!

Nokia Wireless Presenter

I've recently been using the Nokia Wireless Presenter to control Windows Media Player via bluetooth, and I have to say it's great! I can play, pause, stop, skip tracks, randomise, repeat and adjust the volume of songs or films playing without getting up! The PC component is not very easy to find at all on the Nokia site, so here's a link you will also need a compatible Nokia phone with bluetooth and the presenter software, which I believe is possible to install if you don't have it already. You will also need bluetooth on your PC, either a USB stick or internal. The presenter connects through a COM port which you can configure inside your bluetooth software (I use Bluesoleil).
