Topic: new post old song :)
I wrote this Song four years ago , put it on Chordie, and kinda forgot about it. I was playing it this morning - tweaked it a bit - made a couple lyric changes.
It is a real easy song to play chord wise, but for me the difficulty of course comes from the vocal perspective. If any of you out there with the golden voices want to give it a stab - I'd love to her your covers.
here it is
{t:Christmas Spirit:Wish You Were Here}
[G] Christmas Spirit’s on my [Am] mind again
[D] Presents to buy and [G]cards to send
[G]I've fought the crowds and I've[Am]walked the malls
[D] I put up the tree and I’ve [G]decked the halls
[G] It’s Christmastime and your[Am] not around
[D]Got me feeling just a[G] little down
[G]The miles between us keep us[Am] far apart
[D] But just like Christmas you’re[G] in my heart
Chorus
[C] Wish you were here so [G] I could say
[D ] How much I miss you each and [G] every day
[C] Wish you were here so [G]our hearts could touch
[D] And I could tell you that I [C] love you so [G] much
[G]There’s Holly and mistletoe [Am] all around
[D] Christmas carols, what a [G]beautiful sound
[G] glistening snow and [Am]reindeer paws
[D]Children looking out for 'ol [G]Santa Claus
[G] Angels said Christmas was a [Am]time to rejoice, it'd
[D] Sure make me happy just to [G]hear your voice
[G]Plenty of presents under [Am] neath the tree, but
[D] the one I want most brings you[G]home to me
Chorus (2x)
[C] Wish you were here so [G] I could say
[D ] How much I miss you each and [G] every day
[C] Wish you were here so [G]our hearts could touch
[D] And I could tell you that I [C] love you so [G] much
