Man, I've been on this guitar for 7 hours straight playing open chord

I just kept working and re-working everything over and over. I've played
and sang it through several times. Deb, my wife, got in on the act and
tried her hand at singing while I played. We also sang it together
several times. We had a good time and laughed a lot. But now I've played
so long that my fretting hand is trashed. It's just done. I'm going to
record the song within a few days. Here's it is: (Recommendations

Listen to "She Drives Me Crazy" by the Fine Young Cannibals to make sure
you haven't rewritten that tune. (That just comes from me playing your
progression and guessing the melody and feel.)

I don't know that song and am not a fan of that group. Any similarities are
coincidental. I play the chord progressions with the drum machine on 120
bpm. Nothing fancy about my strumming pattern. (As a matter of fact, I
need to work on right hand rhythm. That's a weak point for me.) The chords
are roughly placed over the words where they change. It's just that
simple....very amateur as far as melody is concerned.
