Topic: That Evasive Tune

This is just a song about trying to find a song that pops into your head but just can't put your finger on it. Usually, I can find the title but on some rare occasions, I have no luck.  Those of you out that who like to solve mysteries don't worry because the song I'm searching for in this song is made up, but if you want to look for one please feel free to look and let me know if you find anything. Hope you all like this.

That Evasive Tune By Jeff Gilpin


November 25th, 2007




Intro


[E]




Verse 1


I [E]want to play a song


I can't [G]put my finger on


It's not too [D]fast or too [A]slow


And I can play a[E]long




Verse 2


I tried [E]all the songs I know


Now I [G]don't know where to go


So I'll [D]look round in my [A]head


It's there for [E]sure




Chorus


Not to [D]sad or too funky


It'll [E]ease this music junky


I'll keep [D]picking 'til


I [A]find that evasive [E]tune




Verse 3


I've hit [E]all of the websites


Stayed [G]up way past midnight


But 'til I [D]find it I'll [A]look


Until day[E]light




Verse 4


What it's [E]called I don't remember


It's about a [G]month maybe September


But could've been [D]April or [A]was it



De[E]cember




Chorus


It's not to [D]sad or too funky


It'll [E]ease this music junky


I'll keep [D]picking 'til


I [A]find that evasive [E]tune




Verse 5


I [E]remember way back when


It's in a [G]movie I saw with a friend


With that [D]actor what's his [A]name


Something [E]Quinn




Verse 6


Or maybe [E]it's not him at all


I just [G]can't seem to recall


Or the [D]song from that [A]movie


When I was [E]small




Chorus


That's not to [D]sad or too funky


And will [E]ease this music junky


I'll keep [D]picking 'til


I [A]find that evasive [E]tune




Ending Chorus


Yeah I'll keep [D]looking until I find


That tune that's [E]wearing on my mind


I'll keep [D]picking until the end of [G]time


I'll [A]find that evasive [E]tune

Re: That Evasive Tune

I like it Jeff. You seem to write in a very self-theraputic way. Very real, emotionally solid. Good stuff man, thanks for sharing.

Re: That Evasive Tune

Thanks Southpaw - I kind of use songwriting as as my look away from work so I can keep my head screwed on straight.

Thanks Lena - I hate the whole getting old and not remembering things you think you should...like old songs you like.
