Topic: Banaz

My first ever song.

I won't comment on the song but if you are interested you will find lots by googling Banaz Agha

Its in Am Dorian



Banaz in remembrance


by John Cross


               


[Am] when Banaz was born and she bought [G] joy to her family


[Am] squabbled with her sisters of [G] course


[Am] father and mother [G] called her their rose


[Am] went to school and[G] how she [D] shined.




[Am]at seventeen she was [G] married to a stranger


[Am] days of sadnessand [G] days of loss


[Am] to have your own life is[G] not much to ask for


[Am] and so one day she [G] walked through the [D] door [D]


                       


[Em] Rhamat, Banaz [G]Romeo and Juliet


[Em] our present our future [G]our hope


[Em] that youngsters and [G] star crossed lovers


[Em] will find someone [G] to give them shelter


[Em] and together we can save their [Am] love





[Am] she fell in love with a [G] guy named Rahmat


[Am] thatlove was the best thing [G] she had


[Am] it was a sweetness [G] it was their world


[Am] they dared to kiss [G] in the sun [D] shine [D].




[Am] i won't sing about [G] an evil crime


[Am] a father killing [G] one he loved


[Am] perhaps he felt shamed by [G] that stolen kiss


[Am] but theres no honour in [G] murder.


[Am] can be no honour in [Em] murder [D].


                           


[Em]Rhamat, Banaz [G]Romeo and Juliet


[Em]our present our future [G]our hope


[Em] that youngsters and [G] star crossed lovers


[Em] will find someone [G] to give them shelter


[Em] and together we can save their [Am] love

Re: Banaz

Powerful stuff, John - just read up on the horrific details of this tragedy.  For a first song, you certainly picked a thorny topic.

I'll give this song a thrum and hum a little later.  James

Re: Banaz

Hi John,

A fine song about a tragic event, something that should not happen in a civilized society but unfortunately it all to often does.

Whilst 'googling' for information I found a petition to the Metrpolotan Police asking for more help for women in Banaz's situation and was able to add my name to it.

Thank you for the song.
