Topic: Back with a new one......

Turn the Other WayBy Alex Scrimgeour


[C]Smile as the rain pours


[G]Smile as the sun shines


[Am]Smile when you hear me


[F]Smile when your near me




[C]Everyones laughing


[G]People are dancing


[Am]Someone is listening


[F]Eyes that are glistening




[C]Does this make you happy


[G]For all that we've wanted


[Am]Does anyone listen


[F]Does anyone care


~Bridge~






[Em]And I whisper [Am]to myself



[Em]I hope you can [Am]hear me god


[Em]Please can you [Am]tell me how


Could do with your [F]help right now.....


(C,G,Am,F)


~Chorus~




[C]Theres smoke in my [G]eyes


The sky turns [Am]grey


I wish I could [F]turn the other way


[C]The burning insi[G]de the pouring [Am]tears


Shall never r[F]eturn to me I fear




Theres something I feel i need to say


Will you hold my hand if I should stray


Confusion of sorts for all I'm worth


Is kicking me where it always hurts




(Bridge then chorus to end)

Hi Scrimmy82
Good one... Like to see how the chords relate to the lyrics though.

Re: Back with a new one......

Hi Alex,

Great to see you back with us and with a new song too. Not only that, those who remember, a while ago Alex showed us a picture of a white guitar, held by a scantily clad young lady, that he was buying. In the end he went and treated himself to an Ovation instead. Lucky man.

Anyway Alex's song is now on FoC for you to hear at:

Well done,

Roger

Re: Back with a new one......

Yeah, the Ovation is the guitar I'm playing on, how about going and having a listen the song is alot cheerier than the lyrics sugges.

Thanks Roger your a star.
