Topic: "I Will Walk Away"

A change from my usual love songs. I got to thinking what happens when love turns sour or is a one sided affair and this is the result.

I Will Walk Awayby Roger Guppy


Intro:


[C][F][C][G]


.


.


Verse 1:




[C]I am leaving, I cannot [F]stand it no [C]more,


[F]You do not give a damn how I [G]feel,


[C]Your lying ways are driving [F]me out of the [C]door,


So [F]selfish you are [G]completely un[C]real.[C7]


.


.


Chorus:


[F]I will walk away with[C]out a backward glance,


[F]Though I am leaving half my life be[G]hind,


[F]In all these years you have never [C]said that you love me,


Or even [F]uttered a [G]word that was [C]kind. [G7]


.


.


Verse 2:




[C]I should have walked out [F]years a[C]go,


[F]I always knew it would end like [G]this,


[C]This time I will go, you will [F]not make me [C]stay,


Not with a [F]punch or a [G]threat or even a [C]kiss.[C7]



.


.


Chorus:


[F]I will walk away with[C]out a backward glance,


[F]Though I am leaving half my life be[G]hind,


[F]In all these years you have never [C]said that you love me,


Or even [F]uttered a [G]word that was [C]kind. [G7]


.


.


Verse 3:




[C]You cannot change my mind,[F]I have had e[C]nough,


[F]I am doing what is right for [G]me,


[C]I no longer care [F]what happens to [C]you,


[F]I am putting my[G]self first you [C]see.[C7]


.


.


Chorus:


[F]I will walk away with[C]out a backward glance,


[F]Though I am leaving half my life be[G]hind,


[F]In all these years you have never [C]said that you love me,


Or even [F]uttered one [G]single word that was [C]kind.

Re: "I Will Walk Away"

HI ROGER, couldnt get any sound form myspace, but the words are very bitter sounding, is there something your not telling us? it describes a relationship ending perfectly.

keep on keeping on

Re: "I Will Walk Away"

Very very Good Roger,

I love the upbeat  music/ melody to this song. Although its about a sad situation,

its a real thumb on the end of nose song!  Be glad your rid of this person.

it can only get better from here.

Re: "I Will Walk Away"

Thanks James, Phill, Ark and Helena,

OK the question seem to be as to whether this lady is real or a figment of my imagination.

Well I am not telling, cause if I do she might just come back and hit me lol

Roger,
  My kids and I just listened to your new song. My 12 year old daughter said, "that was a very cool song". My 2 year old son said, " ah ba ba ba ba ba". I say well done sir, this is one of your finest tunes to date and the new 12'ver sounds sweet ! Thanks for sharing.

Peace and Guitars,

Hi Toney,

Please thank your children for their kind words and it was very astute of you to notice that my new 12er got christened on this one.

Re: "I Will Walk Away"

Hi Roger,
just listened to "I Will Walk Away" very nice, still think there's more to the song than your letting on?

Did think that it is lacking a bit of bass guitar and drums, with your permission I'd like to down load it and add them my-self to see how it sounds? Then maybe I can email it back to you [if it sounds OK] let me know what you think...

regards
Phill wink

PS. Hope you don't think I'm being clever or cheeky or critical, I'm just trying to help in my own way. I won't be offended if you don't want it...:rolleyes:

Hi Phill,

Oh! you wicked man...what's this then a cliff hanger, I can hardly wait wink

It may take a while though, my hard drive is full at the moment, let you know when it's ready.

Re: "I Will Walk Away"

Thanks Ken, very much a sad one but I am glad you liked it.

Phill, I have received the song back with the bass, drums and strings that you have added. I have just this minute replaced my original with this version on MySpace. Thank you.

So if anyone wants to assail their ears with my singing again but listen to it with the additional instruments it is on the usual place: http://www.myspace.com/rogerguppy

Re: "I Will Walk Away"

Well You two,

I did assail my ears. Very enjoyable it was too.

Very well done to both of you. Come on Portugal and Wales.  United at last!
