Topic: My Love, My Life

My Love, My Life.Undefined


[Eb] Heard the cuckoo [Ab] in the spring. [Cm] The young birds [Ab] on the wing.


[Gm] There was hope in [Ab] every face along the [Bb] road.


[Eb] But it seems so [Ab] long ago. [Cm] If I knew then [Ab] what I know.


[Gm] Would I take another [Ab] side street [Bb] on the way.




But my life was not so bad. I was proud of what I had.


I worked for every penny in my hand.


Take away what makes a man. All that's left is an empty shell.


Still I'm glad I had you there all along.




My [Ab] love. My [Abm] life. My [Eb] Ann.




Was I brave or just a fool. Was I just somebody else's tool.


I played the game by someone else's rules.


If I walked another way. If there were words I did not say.


If I didn't have you there to make me strong.





My love. My life. My Ann.




[Dm] You put your [Ab] hand into my hand. [Gm] I turn around to [Ab] look at you.


[Cm] Our eyes meet, and there's that secret [Ab] smile.


And [Gm] then we go on doing [Bb] what we do.




I did the things I was supposed to do.


They told me not to fall in love with you.


But you see I did that anyway.


When they thought we would not last. And we had that final laugh.


I could feel the atmosphere was freezing.




My love. My life. My Ann...to fade

Re: My Love, My Life

This one is about my beloved Ann and how we got together regardless of the fact my family were against it...at first.

I used a capo on the 3rd fret, so to play Eb you play a C shape chord etc

I have already uploaded it to My-Space...please remember it's only a demo

Hi Phill,

Another great song from you and I guess you will be getting breakfast in bed for the next few weeks after this one. Nice to know that you found your soul mate in spite of your family's initial objection.

Re: My Love, My Life

Hi Phill
My wife and I have been together over 30odd years so  I can empathise with the lyrics put to together in a good song..
The recording sounds fine for home grown..
I'm wondering how you record your stuff in other words what kit do you have just being nosey.

Well Done Phill smile

I can see Ann's eyes tearing up when you played it the first time for her.
I'm hoping the in-laws to.

Nice

Re: My Love, My Life

hi kap,

she just asked "where do the words come from?"...i dont know, i just write what i feel i guess.

hi russ,

i did it ....my way-y-y-y, actually my eyes are green

hi daddy, el mucho smoocho

hi selso,

mother-in-laws, who have them? mine just happens to make the worlds second best roast potatoes [my favorite food] my Ann makes the best!!!

hi ark,

we've been together about 30 years too, you've got to have bad times to know when your having good one's...yeah?
as for recording, i use several methods, this one was done by basic multi-tracking on a computer program, piano, bass, strings and drums, then transferring that lot to my korg d8 and adding guitars and vocals, there are shed-fulls of mistakes which i hope to get around to fixing, like changing the key, dumping the strings and re-recording them and the backing vocals were done the same time as the guitars, so they are all to hell, so they must be re-done. any thing else you'd like to know...i'm an open book?

hi rog,

cant see her getting up at 5.am to cook my cornflakes somehow!

thanks all
