Topic: Long Lost Son. collaboration with Jets

here's a song written in collaboration with Jeff (Jets)

Long Lost Son.Undefined


(Phill)




[C] Can you forgive me me long lost son?


My conscience is burning come [G] home.


I [C] didn't [C7] believe you, I [F] called you a [Fm] liar.


[C] Now I can [G] see I was [C] wrong.




[Am] Dad I forgave you a [Am7] long time ago.


I [F] left my bygones [Am] behind.


[G] There's still some stuff I need to [G7] work-out on my own.


Can't [C] promise but I'll tell you that I'll [G] try.


(Jeff)




I [Am] took them at their word, that [Am7] I was the father.


[F] That's when my future upped and [Am] died.


I [G] took them at their word but there [G7] never was a child.


I [C] trusted them but it turned out they [G] lied.




[C] Why did they lie, my long lost son?


Whatever did they hope to [G] attain?


To [C] trap you and [C7] wed you to some [F] slip of a [Fm] girl.


With a [C] shot gun [G] aimed at your [C] head.


(Phill)




[Am] Why'd I get into this situation that [Am7] I'm in?


[F] Someone I thought loved me told a [Am] lie.


But [G] I got in it, and there's [G7] no getting out.


Can't get [C] out so I stopped asking [G] why.





(BRIDGE)




[F] Oh! Lord-y, [C] what have we here?


[Am] Two hearts [G] broken as [F] one.


[Fm] Oh! Lord-y, [C] what can we do?


[G] Uniting a father and [Am] son.


[F] With out the [G] need for a gun.




[C] There wasn't a baby, my long lost son.


Liars will always be [G] caught.


[C] Heaven [C7] awaits while the [F] devil cries [Fm] “foul”.


And [C] we can live [G] merrily [C] on.


(Jeff)




I'm [Am] coming home dad but a [Am7] changed man I am.


Ilived[F]through the threats and the [Am] lies.


[G] Free of accusations andwhat I [G7] thought would be my life.


[C] Thank you dad for opening my [G] eyes.




(Phill)




[C] Welcome home my long lost son.Tears of joy fill my [G] eyes.


I [C] wish I'd be[C7]lieved you [F] right from the [Fm] start.


Saved [C] long nights [G] breaking my [Am] heart.


[F] Long nights [Fm] breaking my [C] heart.

Re: Long Lost Son. collaboration with Jets

names in brackets () mean Phill's verse or Jeffs verse. we were going to sing verse for verse, but due to recording problems, i ended up singing it right through. hopefully this problem will not affect future projects.

the recording can be heard if you click the web button to your left. we would both appreciate your comments.

thanks Phill &Jeff

Re: Long Lost Son. collaboration with Jets

This was a great project and I am grateful to have had the chance to work with Phill on this. I am sorry we couldn't work out the recording part of it which was totally my fault, and in the future I will try to get my technical problems sorted out. Just to clarify, I wrote the son's verses and Phill wrote the father's verses as well as the bridge. Phill, I sure wish I could have come over and finished it proper. I'll keep that as a bucket list item.
