This is a song about a soldier receiving a fatal wound in combat and having to spend his last remaining hours at night, alone in a field with his fallen friends waiting to die.The time frame in my mind is the American Civil War.Whether it was yesterday, today or tomorrow,righteous or not...war sucks.
Strummed softly for verse and harder in the chorus.




Left Behindby Ken Peters


June 27/08


                                     






[Bm]Cold night, the stars are bright,


[D]Haunting shadows tease the light.


[Bm]Battles lost,a bullet found,


My [D]blood pools deep on the frozen ground.


[Bm]Here I lye, alone to weep,


My [D]destiny is set in stone to keep.


[Bm]So scared, so weak,


I'm dying [D]and there's no one here to comfort me.


And no one can [G]hear me,


As I [A]call.


So it is [Bm]here I die with no one at [G]a-ll.


To share my [D]fe-elings,


I'm left be[A]hind.


[Bm]A full moon defines the night,


[D]Satan's dancing with delight.


[Bm]Frozen tears and frozen hands,


As I [D]pray to my God on foreign land.



[Bm]Death has come now I have won,


The [D]right to wear the reapers mask and gown.


[Bm]So tired, must sleep.


It's [D]here I die it's here where I admit defeat.


And no one can [G]hear me.


As I call.[A]


So it is[Bm]here I die with no one at [G]all.


To share my [D]fe-elings,


I'm left be[A]hind.


Repeat verse with guitar solo




And Momma no one can [G]hear me.


Momma no one really [A]cares.


Momma it's [Bm]here I die with no one to [G]sha-re,


To share my [D]feelings.


I'm left be[A]hind.




Fade out with sad guitar solo on chorus

Good to see all these up and coming musicians joining the ranks.
If you are having a hard time finding someone to play with...don't sweat it cause music comes from the soul and finding someone to jam with can be difficult. When you get older you WILL find someone if you don't lose the passion.
Good for you ryuuzaki45249.Draw inspiration from losing someone close to you as music comes from the soul.
Cheers All

Sounds like a hoot wlbaye.Geography makes it impossible.Maybe you could post some pics or vids somewhere on the net.Lots of festivals happening in the summer.I would like to see our chordie mates post up whatever is happening from around the globe.It makes the world seem a little smaller.

Thanks all.Perhaps fate is the wrong word,none the less I paid my 10 bucks with no hopes of winning joust nervous anticipation of what could be.I'll probably win $5.40 and be down $4.60.

I am seeing 54 all over so lets see what happens.
649 Lottery for tonight is 30 Million.
Logic says I spend 54 dollars in tickets but I can't do it.
10 Dollars on tickets will do nicely I hope.

Hopefully tomorrows post will be "Gooder...Much Gooder"

Well Thank You very extra large kingsize but please... I'm not much into labels.A simple Thank You and maybe quoting a favorite line or how you can relate to the song would cool enough.
E-mailing is also cool.
Thanks Again KAP54 smile
