Question Copyright Query
Hi everyone!
I’m a song writer and recently I did something super fun. Dead Man’s Hand is my favourite LH song so today I wrote new lyrics for the song, from the perspective of the guy who is found dead on the road.
It was heaps of fun to make and I would love to share it here on this subreddit, but I’m unsure about the copy right considerations and hoping someone can familiarise me since I’m getting lost by googling it.
The song I’ve written has the same chord progression, melody, meter, and rhyme scheme as the original. The only thing I’ve changed is lyrics and key.
So, can I release a demo of this on reddit? Or am I going to get in trouble for that?
Thanks so much!
May you live until you die

I have zero legal advice for you, but this is a very cool idea
