Topic: My Daughter's Anniversary - Husband deployed - Song for them
I wrote this song - I tried to put my self in place of my son in law (Air Force Pilot - Captain)who has just deployed for the 2nd time to God knows where, I think it's Afghanistan this time !
Today is the first Wedding Anniversary of him and my daughter. So I picked up my Les Paul and gave it a try.
I know I can't sing very well and my guitar playing needs loads of improvement, but this means a lot to me and maybe some others out there can appreciate how hard it is to leave loved ones behind. These are the lyrics and chords - if anyone that can really play and sing wants to cover it - I'd love to hear your version.
Hope you like it !

Baby, I've Got You
[Em] The thunder rolled all
[B7] through the night
and you [Am] held me tightly
'til the [C] morning's light
[G]Little whispers , and
[D] sweet caress
[Am]gentle kisses that
I'm [C]really gonna
[G] miss
[G] [D][Am][C] [Em]
[Em]As the sun rises on a
[B7]nother day , there's a
[Am] million reasons for
[C] me to stay
[G]Distanced by chance, but
[D] not by my heart
To[Am]gether forever, we'll
[C] never, ever be
[G] apart
Chorus
[G] Ain't it funny how [D]life works out, when
[C] best laid plans never [ G ] come about
[G ] all those dreams, that [D] never came true
[Am] never mattered , as [C]long as I had [G] you
[G] [D][Am][C] [Em]
now [Em] the moon is full in the
[B7] clear night sky, and
The [Am] time has come to
[C]Say goodbye
[G]Hold back those tears cuz
[D]I need you to smile, and
[Am] hold me love , even
[C] for just a little
[G]while
[G] Ain't it funny how [D]life works out , it
[C] takes, it gives, and [G]spins you about
[G ] all those dreams, that [D] never come true
[Am] never matter , as [C]long as I'm with [G] you
[G ] all those dreams, that [D] never come true
[Am] never mattered , [C] long as I'm with [G]you
[D] it never mattered cuz, [C] baby, I'be got
[G] you
[D] it never mattered cuz, [C] baby, I'be got
[G] you
[D] it never mattered cuz, [C] baby, I've got
[G] you
[D] it never mattered cuz, [C] baby, I've got
[G] you
