Topic: We Could Last Forever

This is a song of hope, even if you feel that there is no-one out there for you, and the love you had has gone out, like the proverbial candle, keep looking as the one especially for you is out there looking for you. Sorry if this looks like I'm shouting, but I wrote it in "word" first then "copy`d and pasted"

(LOOKS LIKE) WE COULD LAST FOREVER.Undefined


[C]LOVERS I'VE [Gdim]HAD AND [F]HEARTACHES [Fm]TOO


[C]LOOKED LIKE THERE WAS [G]NO-ONE FOR [C]ME


THEY'D BE [C]GOOD FOR A [Gdim]TIME


BUT [Am]SOMEWHERE DOWN THE [F]LINE


WE'D BE [Em]PARTING AND WE'D [Dm]SAY GOOD [C]BYE


BRIDGE




NOW [E]I BELIEVE THERE'S [Am]ONE FOR EACH


AND IF YOU LOOK [D7]LONG ENOUGH YOU WILL [G]SEE


THOUGH THEY'RE [C]GOOD FOR A [Gdim]TIME


SOME [F]WHERE DOWN THE [Fm]LINE


YOU'LL BE [C]PARTING AND YOU'LL [G]SAY GOODBYE-[C]


CHORUS




SO [F]KEEP LOOKING [Em]OUT SOME [Dm]DAY WITH OUT [C]DOUBT


YOU WILL [Am]MEET THE ONE THAT'S [G]RIGHT FOR [Am]YOU


LIKE [F]I DID AND I [Em]DO, [Dm]BELIEVE THAT IT'S [C]TRUE



[Am]LOOKS LIKE WE COULD [G]LAST FOR [F]EVER-[Fm]-[C]




REPEAT SAME CHORDS FOR EACH VERSE




OH! MY POOR HEART, WAS FALLING APART


SO I KNEW I HAD TO FIND YOU SOON


WHEN YOU CAME MY WAY IT BECAME A SPECIAL DAY


AND IT LOOKS LIKE WE COULD LAST FOREVER




REPEAT BRIDGE AND CHORUS




SO THE MESSAGE MUST BE IF YOU ARE LIKE ME


HAPPY TO BE WITH JUST ONE


THOUGH IT'S FUN FOR A TIME TO HAVE GIRLS IN A LINE


YOU'LL BE SORRY AND YOU'LL SAY GOODBYE




REPEAT BRIDGE

Re: We Could Last Forever

Well, I suppose I'll give it a bye.

I'm working on an A7sus2 for a melody for a poem I've already posted. But that's because you only have to move one finger to play the whole song.

Re: We Could Last Forever

Hi Phill,

A lovely romatic song and a very interesting chord progression. As for the Gdim, luckily I normally play D with a barre on three strings on the second fret so it was not to difficult add the other two notes to play it.

I hope you will record this one soon as I am sure it will be completely different to how I have just played it.

Thank you,

Roger

Re: We Could Last Forever

Phill you are on a roll. Man where do you find the time to work?   smile
Hope to hear this one recorded soon..
The Gdim Chord looked sorta familar..
I realised many years back I learn't to arpeggio "Private Investigations" by Dire Straits"
and Gdim to Am6/f# (21220) sounds so good. Dug out my old song book and relived some old memories.
Sorry to ramble (Old age)....

Re: We Could Last Forever

Nice writing as usual Phill, with a great message of hope for those not as lucky with love as yourself.
You sure know how to write them.
Thanks for this smile

Re: We Could Last Forever

i like how it starts kinda sad then the chorus is kinda up lifting, if thats the right word. its hard not to think about the one that got away. mine was gone for awhile, and now that she's back, i'll never let her go

Re: We Could Last Forever

Hi guys,

Thanks for the comments.

Selso,  up lifting! I've never been accused of that before...I'm glad you've got back the one that you feel is the right one...that's what the song is about.

Hi Kenny, I am lucky and I'm not afraid to admit it, in fact I'm quite happy to shout about it "I'M IN LOVE WITH A WONDERFUL GAL"

Hi Ark, I don't understand all the too-doo about G diminished, I've been playing it all my playing life, and it's easier to play than Am6/f#...I know I just tried, but the f# is played on the 6th string not 1st making it easier, then surely that just makes it Aminor6? unless you also play the bass note....I guess this rambling thing does come with the onset of old age...pass my Horlicks, love

Hi Rog, I am in the process of recording it, but as I mentioned before on email I'm just snatching moments on-line this week due to work commitments, so I'll up-load ASAP.

Hi Alan, it's only a chord, one of the first I ever learned, if you can play D, then G diminished is an easy progression from there.

Hi Russ, smoothie is it? haven't heard from you for a while, we will have to get together soon for a long chat me auld mucker. Yes I am just an old romantic at heart, but this was for a friend but as usual using my own experiences to hopefully give the person hope for the future...love wise.


Thanks again for you're kind words

Phill

Re: We Could Last Forever

hi ark,

thinny to thicky...you could get in trouble there!!!lol

if there's a thicky about it's me, but playing Am 6 with F# played on the thicky is a real finger twister for me any way with my fat arthritic digits...or as kap 54 says..."just another brain fart!"
don't ya just love these colonials with their mongrelization of the queen's good english?

hi helena,

my feminine side? i do wash the dishes and peg out the washing and on sundays i also hoover the house while my dear ann polishes and cleans the wooden flooring, it's a 50/50 thing at the williams's...feminine side? never......pass me my lippy
