Topic: Half the World Apart, Forever Together

Whew, that was gruling.  I hope I did this right. Chording on this tune is modified. The G chord is played in a second position up the neck in a C type position  Third fret B string,4th fret G string,5th fret D string.  The add 9 is that same form with pinky on E string 5th fret. I'm sure there will be questions or maybe not. I hope you all enjoy this. This is my story and the story of someone very dear to me. Thanks for your patience.  marcalan

                                                                                                                             

Half the World Apart, Forever Togetherwaltz


slowly, hammer on E string with the D, last verse slow downward strum


by  Marcalan Mcvicker  2008




[D]She went on her[G] way,


[D]and try as she[G] may,


[D]she couldn’t[G#add9]hold the[A6] tears from her[D] face.




[D]She held her hands[G] tight,


[D]and with all of her[G] might,


[D]found her[G#add9]way to her[A6] most cherished[D] place.


[F#sus4#5]One day I’ll find[G] some peace of mind


[F#sus4#5]and one day perhaps someone to[G] love.


[F#sus4#5]Its all that I know.


[G]Some sign to show[Em] me the loved one I’ll[E6] find.


[D]So back to her[G] life,


[D]she smiles at her[G] strife,


[D]and[G#add9] loves the[A6] family she[D] knows.


[D]Flowers of[G] love.


[D]Ordained from[G] above.


[D]Creative [G#add9] hands which the[A6] Master[D] chose.


[D]Hollow in[G] heart.



[D]A man torn all[G] apart;


[D]dredging[G#add9] from[A6]day to[D] day.


[D]In his mind from time to[G] time.


[D]Another woman? Life[G] sublime?


[D]Wondering[G#add9] what on[A6] earth it would[D] take.


[F#sus4#5]One day I’ll find[G] some peace of mind,


[F#sus4#5]and one day perhaps someone to[G] love.


[F#sus4#5]Its all that I know,


[G]some sign to show[Em]me the loved one I’ll[E6] find.


[D]In the world that is[G] unseen.


[D]There is He that would[G] glean,


[D]the love energy[G#add9] that these[A6] two souls[D] share.


[D]With mysterious[G] ways,


[D]with a wave of His hand He[G] says,


[D]“These two,[G#add9] for each[A6] other, will[D] care�� .


[F#sus4#5]And from this day they’ll find


[G]their peace of mind.


[F#sus4#5]This will be all that they[G] know.


[F#sus4#5]And their sign shall be,


[G]directly from me.


[Em]Together they will[E6] let their love[D] show�� .

and took it from beginning to end.
I would try another.

Re: Half the World Apart, Forever Together

Further clarification is in order.  the E6 is played at the second fret b string andD string and the F#sus chord is played like a Bm without the barr but with the high E played with the index.  ok here you are if anyone cares my ameture effort of showing how to play this have fun  I make mistakes great fun

I'll give it a shot tonight. Lyrics are great!

Re: Half the World Apart, Forever Together

Hi marcalan,

Just gave your song a whirl. F#sus4#5?? I am afraid I just used Bm but it sounded OK to me. Good lyrics and chord progression, well done.

Re: Half the World Apart, Forever Together

Well Marcalan,

I had heard the Melody, as its on my profile page at myspace. Its Lovely.
The lyrics are wonderful.  Thank You" Im very flattered also with your dedication of love on the www.. Wow.
Love in abundance to you also Kind Sir. I now will learn  the lyrics and  sing them.

There is a lovely Greek word temenos, which originally referred to the grounds surrounding a temple. It means the sacred place or section of holy ground that we must cross to enter into the temple. Rightly understood, our senses are a temenos that separates us from the spiritual world. Our senses function as a moat does to protect a castle from those that would enter without permission.
I would also like to say, After many sad Valentines days over many years, Marcalan sent me the most beautiful hand made silver torque/ bracelet with 2 red jasper stones inserts. He also asked me to be his Valentine. Such a divine intervention in my life. I cried with joy that some one would think me worthy.
We have gotten to know one another very well over time with talking and
writing. He is a absolute joy to have as "My Anam Cara" { Soul Mate} and has managed to melt this Old Dolls heart.
Much Love to you Precious Man.

Welcome to my world Marcalan, Gracious Thanks.

Old Doll.

Why Blend in with the Crowd ? When you were made to stand out !
