Topic: PIECES OF DRIFTWOOD
THERES A RIFF THAT RUNS THROUGH THE SONG THAT SOUNDS LIKE A C/W BASS LINE; F TO C6 [add f] THERES PROBABLY A NAME FOR THE CHORD, BUT I DONT KNOW WHAT IT IS. OH AND USE A CAPO ON THE 6th FRET ... PLAYS EASIER
Pieces of DriftwoodUndefined
[riff]PIECES OF DRIFTWOOD THAT WASH UP ON THE SHORE
A PIECE OF LIFE THAT NOW IS GONE, LIFE THAT IS NO MORE
[Bb] CAN YOU [f] HEAR THE [Gm] GHOSTS OF [F] WHEELS THAT [Bb] ONCE ROLLED [F] THROUGH THE [C] TOWN
[riff] AND VOICES SINGING IN THE CHURCH, AND MEN FROM UNDERGROUND
[Bb] OH [F] OH Gm] OH [F] OH [Bb] OH [F] OH [Gm]OH
(REPEAT THE ABOVE CHORDS ON THE NEXT 2 VERSES)
PIECES OF DRIFTWOOD FLOATING WHERE A TOWN ONCE STOOD
SOMETIMES THE CHURCH BELL RINGS IN IT'S GHOSTLY NEIGHBOURHOOD
CAN YOU SEE THE TAVERN DOOR SWING, WHEN IT'S CLOSING TIME?
THE VOICES SINGING IN THE DARK ON THEIR WAY HOME UNDER BRINE
OH OH OH OH OH OH OH...
PIECES OF DRIFTWOOD STANDING ON A MANTLE SHELF
CARVED DOWN AND POLISHED UP AND MADE TO LOOK IT'S BEST
THERE WAS ONCE A HAPPY CHILD PLAYING IN HIS YARD
NOW THERE'S ONLY FISHES THERE, SALMON AND SOME CARP
OH OH OH OH OH OH OH
LOOK OUT ON THE LAKE TO SEE THAT THERE'S NOTHING THERE
OH OH OH OH OH OH OH...
LOOK OUT ON THE LAKE TO SEE THAT THERE'S NOTHING THERE.
I WROTE THIS IN "F" AS THAT WAS WHERE THE CAPO WAS WHEN I GOT THE IDEA
THIS IS A STORY OF THE WELSH VALLEYS THAT WERE FLOODED IN ORDER THAT LIVERPOOL MANCHESTER,LONDON ETC. COULD HAVE WATER
IT'S NOT A BITTER SONG, BUT I FEEL IT'S WORTH REMEMBERING THE SACRIFICE THESE PEOPLE MADE.
Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.
