This is my quick cover of the 1927 classic "The Best Things in Life Are Free" by Buddy De Sylva, Lew Brown, and Ray Henderson for the musical Good News. I haven't shared much on RU-vid for a long time because I'm busy chasing my 2 year old son around, performing live in Nashville, and releasing music, but I'm trying to share more now!
I originally learned this song as a lesson for my Patreon patrons back in 2023. I put together a couple of beginner/intermediate versions, which can be found on my website at www.abigailflo.... These versions don't use all the barre chords and "up-the-neck" playing I use in this video, but I'd be happy to put together an advanced version like this video if anyone is interested!
As a side note, I did just release some music--it's an arrangement of Edith Piaf's "La Vie en rose" and I am very proud of it. You can listen on RU-vid at • La Vie en rose , or find it on any major streaming platform you prefer. Heck, if you want to buy it on iTunes, I'd love that too!
Thanks so much for listening, and I hope to be back with more soon!
Lyrics:
There are so many kinds of riches
And only one of them is gold
The wealth you miss, remember this
Worthwhile things cannot be bought or sold
The moon belongs to everyone
The best things in life are free
The stars belong to everyone
They gleam there for you and me
The flowers in spring, the robins that sing
The sunbeams that shine
They're yours, they're mine
And love can come to everyone
The best things in life are free!
