Major Snagg is the invented name of the 'band' that perform all my own musical creations. (songs and instrumentals). I play guitars, bass, rudimentary keyboards, harmonica, and sing. Melody has always been important to me... lyrics and guitar solos have to say or communicate something. I create musical worlds that I hope that you dear listener, will also want to explore and live in for a few moments...or longer if you feel that way inclined.

Lyrics
Oh woman, oh why, why, why, why, why What have I done Oh woman, oh where, where, where, where, where Did you get that gun, Oh what have I done What have I done ? Well I met her at the bottom of a well (of a well) Well I told her I was tryin' to break a spell (break a spell) But I can't get by, my hands are tied Don't why I ever got her to try myself Cause I can't get by, my hands are tied Oh woman, oh why, why, why, why What have I done Oh woman, oh where, where, where, where, where Did you get that gun, Oh what have you done Woman what have you done Well I am fed up with you lying cheating ways (cheating ways) But I get up every morning and every day (every day) But I can't get by , my hands are tied Don't why I want her to try myself Cause I can't get by, my hands are tied Oh woman, oh why, why, why, why What have I done Oh woman, oh where, where, where, where, where Did you get that gun Woman, what have I done, What have you done What have I done

Great cover of a not-so-well-known Macca song! I much prefer your vocals to the original which I felt he over sang quite a bit. These vocals are just right & you've got the power & expression without going over the top. Excellent job on the guitar & the production is first class

Not forgotten by all of us. LOL! This is a brave song to take on given those non human PM vocals ... I like how you have made it your own. Musically its excellent and your vocals are very good.. Very good cover....top to bottom.. Nice.

Just listened to the original and I got to say I much prefer your version better than Maccas high pitched screaming ! Much nicer on the ears . Also prefer the heavier rock guitar sound . So all in all a great version and improved over the original . No easy feat ! Great work David !

David, Your vocals are amazing.....Magnificent Guitar playing. Your version is so-o-o much better than the Mecca. See, you truly have great talent that you were born with. Be proud, my friend.
