Topic: My First Sundown
Been gone awhile and hope to get back into writing more often.
This is a song I have been trying to write for sometime now and just couldn't find any words.Todays events in the states helped but we still have a long ways to go. It's about my perspective on our world, from growing up, to today and hoping for a better future for all to live by.
Played in the style of a slow Springsteen ballad,no chorus with a harp and keyboard in the breaks.
C/G played 032013 Cmaj9 played 320013

[G]I can't remember [Cmaj9]when I saw my [G]first sundown. [Cmaj9]
[G]So long ago the [Cmaj9]memories lost with [G]time. [Cmaj9]
Too [G]young to know the [Cmaj9]beauty of the [G]moment. [Cmaj9]
Too [G]young to know the [Cmaj9]feelings of the [G]dying,of the [Cmaj9]trying,
Of the [C/G]crying by the little children.
M-M-M-M [G]M-M-M-M
Too [D]young to know the comfort on my [Cmaj9].......first sun [G]down. [Cmaj9] [G]

........................................................................................................
[G]I remember [Cmaj9]when my world turned [G]upside down. [Cmaj9]
[G]Still too young but [Cmaj9]old enough to [G]see. [Cmaj9]
The [G]anger and the [Cmaj9]bloodshed all [G]around me. [Cmaj9]
When [G]hatred pulled the [Cmaj9]trigger on a [G]father,then a [Cmaj9]brother,
Then a [C/G]doctor of the hidden people.
M-M-M-M [G]M-M-M-M
The [D]bells were ringing in the steeple [Cmaj9].......good die [G]young [Cmaj9] [G]
..........................................Instrumentals...........................................................
[G] [Cmaj9] [G] [Cmaj9] [G] [Cmaj9] [G] [Cmaj9]
.........................................................................................................................
[G]I remember [Cmaj9]when the world came [G]crashing down. [Cmaj9]
[G]Terror from the [Cmaj9]skies for all to [G]see. [Cmaj9]
[G]Bearing gifts of [Cmaj9]hatred and of [G]sorrow. [Cmaj9]
[G]Bearers of re[Cmaj9]ligion built on [G]dying and [Cmaj9]defying,
built on [C/G]lying to the little children.
M-M-M-M [G]M-M-M-M
The [D]bells keep ringing in the steeples [Cmaj9]........good die [G]young. [Cmaj9] [G]
..........................................Instrumentals.....................................................
[G] [Cmaj9] [G] [Cmaj9] [G] [Cmaj9] [G] [Cmaj9]
..................................................................................................................
[G]For fifty some odd [Cmaj9]years I've watched the [G]sun go down. [Cmaj9]
[G]Hoping that we'd [Cmaj9]somehow find a [G]way. [Cmaj9]
To [G]rid the world of [Cmaj9]greed and hate and [G]sorrow.
And [G]build a world worth [Cmaj9]living without [G]lying or [Cmaj9]defying,
Without [C/G]crying by the little children.
M-M-M-M [G]M-M-M-M
I [D]wish I knew the comfort from my [Cmaj9].........first sun[G]down.
I [D]wish I could recall the comfort [Cmaj9]......on my first sun[G]down.
