Topic: Mammys song: For you anyday

I wrote this song for my mum for mothers day but didn't complete it in time. I'm 18 now and moving out soon to go to college and this is about that. I'm not sure when to give it to her now. Let me know what you think....:) CAPO on 3rd

MAMMY’S SONG …. For you anyday

VERSE 1:
A
You held me high and made me fly
D
Through wind and rain you kept me dry
A                E
All those things I needed you to do
A
Held my hand and kept me close
D
Kissed me better, cleaned my nose
A                 E
For everything I’m grateful to you

    D        A   
Never once did you complain
    D        A
Even when I was a pain
A            E
I only see now your sacrifice

CHORUS:
A
You smiled and laughed and cried with me
D
Picked me up and said to me
A                    E
Don’t you worry things will turn out right
        D        A
No matter how bad it seems right now
        D        A
I’ll always be here to help you out
A            E            A   
Never will I be too far away…for you anyday

VERSE 2:
When I cried and called your name
You stopped and you always came
Embraced as a mother only can
Every year you watched me grow
Always wondering and never know
What I would come to be someday

CHORUS

FINALE:
A
Now I’m old enough to be
D
Everything you wished for me
A            E
To go on and live out my life
A
But I never will forget
D
The times we’ve had, the things you’ve said
A                  E
Soon it will be my turn to say…
        A
For you anyday

A x2    D    E
A x2    D        A
    For you anyday

Re: Mammys song: For you anyday

hi shionagh,

welcome to our little community, new blood...beautiful heartfelt words, wouldnt it be nice if more youngsters showed this much appreciation to their parents, i'm fortunate as mine do, but i've never had a song written for me...never mind.

thanks for sharing with us, looking forward to some more

Re: Mammys song: For you anyday

I like how you talk about the sacrfices she made, that really means alot to a mom, just having some understanding. Make her proud when you go to school. It'll make all thoses sacrfices well worth it.Great song

Lovely Tribute Shónagh to your Mam.

Your Mam it appears did a fine job with you. Its reflected here in your lyrics.

Id love to hear the melody to this song, do you record your songs at all ?


Good Luck to you in all you wish to achieve.

Re: Mammys song: For you anyday

Hi Shonagh

Welcome to Chordie smile
I'm real glad to hear you played this moving song for your Mom. Check out Russ's tutorials in the recording section. Audacity is a free program and if I can figure it out (with Russ's help) then I'm sure you will be able to also.
Thanks for this and am looking forwards to hearing it. smile

PS I tried the fada thingy but it didn't work.

Re: Mammys song: For you anyday

I actually have posted the lyrics with the chords in this section, I just haven't recorded any yet, as I am still learning the recording process. I'm slow bout doing things sometimes! Or as some would say I procrastinate!!

Re: Mammys song: For you anyday

Hey ShónaghMcG
It's certainly nice to have someone come back with a recording. Well done
Videoing and recording a song is a doubly difficult thing to do so good on you for giving it go..
I liked melody and the singing as much as I could hear as the recording was a bit juddery in sound and vision..
I hope your able to continue your music in the future as I can see you have great potenial.
Good luck with your exams!
