Topic: "Brief Encounter"
The 1945 film "Brief Encounter" has been recently brought to my attention and I noticed that there has never been a title track song written for it. I thought it might be fun and a bit different to write one so here is my offering:

Brief Encounterby Roger Guppy
Intro:
[G][D][Gsus][D]
.
.
Verse 1:
[G]It was [Em]such a [C]brief en[D]counter,
Like [C]ships that [D]pass in the [Gsus]night,[D]
The [G]effect on [Em]me [C]was so pro[D]found,
It will [C]stay with me for the [D]rest of my [Gsus]life,[G]
[C]If we [D]could have met [G]some years be[Em]fore,
Our [C]live's would have [D]been linked for [C]ever [D]more.[Gsus] [D]
.
.
Verse 2:
A[G]las, as a [Em]pair we were [C]not meant to [D]be,
Our paths would [c]cross but [D]never en[Gsus]twine,[D]
For[G]ever [Em]apart will be [C]our desti[D]ny,
Never [C]ble to [G]call you [Gsus]mine,[D]
To [C]know what I now [D]know and to [G]turn back [Em]time,
We [C]would have met [D]sooner and [C]you would now be [D]mine.[Gsus][D]
.
.
Bridge:
A [Gmaj7]brief encounter, a [Cmaj7]moment in time,
[F]Your eyes happened to catch [D]mine,
A [Gmaj7]chance meeting, a [Cmaj7]mere twist of fate,
But [F]sadly years too [D]late.[Gsus][D]
.
.
verse 3:
[G]Just fleeting [Em]moments were [C]my time with [D]you,
And [C]they are en[D]graved on my [Gsus]heart, [D]
The [G]memory of [Em]you will ever [C]stay in my [D]mind
Though we [C]will be for[D]ever a[Gsus]part, [G]
[C]Fate has dealt a [D]bitter blow, [G]life can be so [Em]cruel,
[C]Meeting you too [D]late was the [C]cruelest [D]blow of them [Gsus]all. [G]
The Gmaj7 I used was 2 2 0 0 3 3 not the one shown here.
Actually, if I am honest, I used x x 0 0 3 3 as I could not get my finger round the 6 string chord so I cheated and used only 4
