Topic: Wash My Tired Away

I came home today still jet laging with no other plans than going straight to sleep but my wife was waiting for me and seemed to re-energize me with a kind word or two. So this song is about that. I hope you like it.

Wash My Tired Away By Jeff Gilpin


October 29th, 2007




Intro


[F7]




Verse 1


[F7]Feeling tired after a [C]hard day


Wanting [F7]nothing more than a pillow under my [C]head


[F7]Can’t wait to get some [C]shut eye


Then you [G]say


How was your [F7]day


And you wash my tired a[C]way


Hey [G]hey wash my [F7]tired a[C]way




Verse 2


[F7]I wish I knew how you [C]do it


I’d [F7]bottle it up and make a fortune or [C]more


Yet to [F7]you there’s nothing [C]to it


When you [G]say


How was your [F7]day


And you wash my tired a[C]way


Hey [G]hey wash my [F7]tired a[C]way





Bridge


[G]You how do you [F7]do it


[C]Every single [G]day


[G]You how do you [F7]do it


And you wash my tired a[C]way


Hey [G]hey wash my [F7]tired a[C]way




Verse 3


[F7]Sometimes work comes home [C]with me


[F7]Thinking about what I’ve done and got to [C]do


[F7]Then I get home and see that you’ve missed [C]me


When you [G]say


How was your [F7]day


And you wash it all a[C]way


Hey [G]hey wash it [F7]all a[C]way




Bridge


[G]You how do you [F7]do it


[C]Every single [G]day


[G]You how do you [F7]do it


And you wash it all a[C]way


Hey [G]hey wash it [F7]all a[G]way [C]

Hi Jeff,

I like this one, I have played it through a couple of times now and I also found that it works very well using C7 instead of C and gives this song a completely different feel. In fact I think I will give it another run through now.

Thank you,

Roger

Re: Wash My Tired Away

Thanks daddy
Thanks Roger - I tried it with the C7 and I like how it sounds with the F7 but it didn't fit the way I was singing it. I do think I'll use the F7 C7 together in the future. BTW something coming in your email (one I couldn't fit on my page)

Lovely Jets,

most people would not even realise when asked that question, that
there i sincerety behind the words.
