Topic: Without You
It's been a long time since I've posted anything on board. Reading all the good post has gotten a few juices flowing so I wrote this one this morning. Hopefully I can get into recording it sometime. In the form of a Willie Nelson ballad with light picking. Enjoy and all critiques welcome.
Without Youby Ken Peters June 07/09
Verse 1
If I [C]had to live my life alone with[Am]out you,
[F]And never know your [C]smile.
Each [C]minute that would pass would feel like [Am]hours,
Each [F]footstep, a lonely [G]mile.
[E]The stars could never [Am]shimmer,
[E]To light the evening [Am]sky.
[D]Darkness would surround me,
With[D7]out you by my [G7]side.
If I [C]had to live my life alone with[Am]out you,
[F]I'd be [G]lost [C]inside. [G7]
Verse 2
Like a [C]statue I'd be frozen for the [Am]ages,
[F]And all the world would [C]see.
That my [C]book of love is filled with lonely [Am]pages,
The [F]chapters, a tearful [G]read.
[E]Each paragraph reads [Am]heartache.
[E]All single lines I [Am]cry.
The [D]footnote that describes me,
Im[D7]plies I want to [G7]die
If I [C]had to live my life alone with[Am]out you,
[F]I could [G]never [C]try.
refrain
The [Am]days would drag like a [E]long and dreary winter.
With a [Am]cold wind blowing [E]strong.
The [D]snow would fall with[Am]out ever melting,
The [D]sunshine would be [G7]gone.
All I know is you [C]mold me,
I can see the light of [Am]day.
When you [F]hold me,
I can feel no [G]pain.
I could [C]never live my life alone with[Am]out you.
[F]I would [G]never [E]try. [Am]
Without [Dm9]you I'm lost, [G]
In[C]side.
