Topic: You Were There For Me

Hello folks, a while since I've been here
as I've been jammin' with all my heroes!!!
My genre is Country though this isn't
really a Country song, just a wee ballad.
BTW Thanks to all who responded to my
previous posts, very encouraging, thanks again guys.

   You Were There For Me
[words & music - Bob McNulty]

                 G                    Am                           / / / D
[1st verse] You were there when I sang my songs

                                    C             G
you were there when the music was strong

                      Am                     / / / D           
you were there    you sang along

                      C                      G
you were there   you wrote this song



                 G                            Am                  / / / D
[2nd verse]You were there when I was on a high

                                       C                       G
you were there when I was reaching for the sky

                             Am                             / / / D
you watched me rise    you watched me fall

                      C                G
you were there   you saw it all



            C                D            G 
[chorus]    You were there for me

            C                   D       G
                when I was on my knees

            C            D       G            Em  / / / Am
                takin' on the world a - gain

                              D            G
                you were there for me



                 G                    Am                         / / / D
[3rd verse]You were there when I cried a tear

                       C               G
you were there    to lay my fear

                           Am                         / / / D
you were there to comfort and console

                       C           G
you were there    to rea-ssure

                             Am                       / / / D
and you were there when I stood alone

                                  C                  G
to face the world while others let me down

                      Am                          / / / D
you were there    to see me through

                       C             G
you were there    forever you



[chorus]

[chorus]



          C            D       G           Em  / / / Am
[finish]    takin' on the world a-gain
                                                                      Slow down
                             D            Em  / / / / / / / Am
               you were there for me

                             D            G
               you were there for me

Hi Jeff, thanks for the comments, I wrote the song as a ballad with strings in the chorus, I'm not a big fan of strings though I could'nt help but hear strings in the chorus, however; I do appreciate your comments, brilliant site, thanks again. Bob.

Re: You Were There For Me

I like the lyrics and I played it (as a ballad) but would very much like to hear how this song is meant to be, so if you can record it I would very pleased.
