Topic: When I See © ShadyWilbury 10-5-09

I've been waiting two years and one month to write this song- the precise amount of time Chris had been "physically absent" at the time of writing it. It's just a simple tribute- in the words of Tim McGraw:

"My old friend, this song's for you,
'Cause a few simple verses was the least that I could do
To show the world that you were here,
'Cos the love and the laughter, will live on long after
All of the sadness and the tears."

God bless, Chris.


When I See by ShadyWilbury


fingerpicked- a tribute to a friend




CAPO II




Intro: [A] [D] [A] [E] x2




So ma[A]ny things we left un[D]said,


So ma[A]ny things un[E]done,


I swe[A]ar each day we’ll me[D]et again


When my ti[A]me has co[E]me.


And wh[A]en I see your smi[D]ling face,


I’ll tru[A]ly know I’m th[E]ere


Sit a wh[A]ile, and wait a wh[D]ile


I’ll se[A]e you soon some[E]where.


S[A]o I sit here kno[D]wing


So[A]me day I’ll see you ag[E]ain


‘T[A]il that day please re[D]st in peace



My de[A]ar and blessed fri[E]end.


Chorus




Yo[A]u taught me about cour[D]age


Ofth[A]at I am a[E]ware


I kn[A]ow someday I’ll he[D]ar your voice


Wh[A]en I join you th[E]ere




Chorus




We’ll s[A]it and talk to[D]gether


Pl[A]ay your song so sw[E]eet


S[A]ay all the things we left un[D]said


a[A]t His holy fe[E]et.




Chorus




repeat last line.

Well done.  I like it.

Re: When I See © ShadyWilbury 10-5-09

Sheesh- I forgot the most important part?

It's up at SoundClick.

You can hear it here

One question- that line "You taught me so much wisdom" doesn't quite make sense to me, but that was the way it came...is there anything I can change it to?

Thanks for the compliments.

Hi Shady
Just had a listen. Good job like the fingerpicking.
A bit more volume on the vocals may help and perhaps a bit of reverb just a suggestion.
What about....
"You gave me the gift of your wisdom"?
for line you wondered about.

Thanks, Ark-

I like it, but I'll tinker with it some more, because it would have to be sung in a different way to make it fit.

Thanks again,

Shady

Well Done  Shady smile

I really enjoyed the listen along with your other songs. You should post up the link next to your Email so you don't have to post it in your threads.

P.S. How about "Your insights taught me wisdom" for your questionable line. Just a thought from a rookie.

Thanks, Kenny.

I've updated with a website link now, but will probably change it to include my MySpace, which is generally more up to date with songs once they're out of the "demo" stage. I'll try "Your insights taught me wisdom" when I play it next.

Thanks again,

Shady
