Finally, some music from these hands again

One good thing about the stress of these final academic weeks is that I think it's gotten me hooked on recording again. I wrote a longing Irish song over the summer about a cool friend of mine from Illinois. I took her name out of it for a while 'cause it would have been a sensitive issue with the ex, and it's a typical sappy song that could be written for anyone I guess. But, Christine deserved it. I learned a lot about altruistic living through her. Thinking back on that silly mini-crush (as she called them, and we surely had one)...those impossible feelings, maybe that's why it still means something. I've been working on it for the past 2 hours, and I already feel back into the musical swing of things. Here are the lyrics and chords, for what they're worth. Steal them if you want, it's a...recyclable tune...

G D C

Verse

If I had it my way, this is what I’d do

Everyone alive would write a song about you

And we’d have a great concert, you might even cry

Because everyone is grateful for the twinkle in your eye

6 billions performers, all on one stage

Squealing out love songs, all without pay

With you in a sundress, far up on hill

We’ll sing for forty days, and forty days still ---- Cm

Bridge

G D C

We’d all share a chorus; it’s the most important part

Ebm D F D7 G

We’ve spent years in committees to show what’s in our hearts!

Chorus

G D C

[insert female name here] you’re the best, you’re the sunshine of our days

And when you start laughing our worries turn to haze

Good thing it’s easy to make your voice float

Ebm D G

Cause the world is our ocean, and your word is our boat

Verse

But if I had it even more my way, this song would be your favorite

You’d listen to it backwards and really start to savor it

‘Cause there I placed a secret. I really couldn’t omit

When ever I’m around you it puts me in a joyful fit (yips, yells, cheers)

Then when things settle, and the fairground’s a mess

I’ll run up your trestle, I’ll duly confess

The idea was mine, and my song’s the truest

So jump in my arms and let’s take to the forest ---- Cm

Bridge

But don’t forget the chorus; it’s the most important part

Ebm D F A7 D

We’ve spent years in committees to show what’s in our hearts!

Chorus

D A G

[insert female name here] you’re the best, you’re the sunshine of our days

And when you start laughing our worries turn to haze

Good thing it’s easy to make your voice float

Cause the world is our ocean, and your word is our boat
