Topic: When Her Brown Hair Falls

Hello again...Rooster3 here and i must be on a roll or something because the creative mindset has hit me and i'm finishing songs that have been needin' finishin' for a while!

This song goes out to my dear friend that donated her hair to an organization that makes wigs for patients undergoing chemotherapy and cancer treatment.

When Your Brown Hair FallsCopywrite: Blake Stitcher


Intro:  C, Am, F, G




Verse 1:


You say that you [C] want to give back


To those that [G] won’t give in


So you take your [Am] place at a hairdresser’s seat


As the[F] barber’s wheel blows in the [G]wind




Verse2:


As you face yourself in the mirror


You are watchin’ your brown locks fall down


Your eye drops a tear when you look at me


And then hear the scissors sound.




Chorus:


(Kinds quick chord changes, but when finger picked and played slowly they flow great)


When your [F] brown hair [G] falls, [C]All around your [Am] face


There’s nothing that [F]I can [G] do, for my [C]heart as it[Am] races


When your [F]dark brown [G]eyes [C]fall to meet [Am] mine


Baby, you are [F] beautiful,[G]when your brown hair [C]falls.Am, F,G




Verse 3:



You know that this is all for a cause


In which you so strongly believe


You’re giving a small part of your life


To someone else that needs




Verse4:


When the chair is spun around at the end


And your brown locks are all gone


You smile because you know you’re giving them


To someone that once walked alone




Chorus




Bridge:


And [F] through it [C]all,you’ve [G]seemed to be the [C]same


You [F]gave away a [C]part of you,to help [G]someone make a [C]change


And as we [F]go out of the [G]beauty shop, With [Em]hands raised to the[F- bar cbord]


sky


We [C]leave behind a [G]small brown bag with a [F]part of your heart in[C]side




Chorus

Re: When Her Brown Hair Falls

What kind of tempo/strumming do you usually use with it?

Re: When Her Brown Hair Falls

Hello Blake - I took the liberty of applying the formatting codes so that your song would look as pretty as your generous & caring sweetie pie.  Nice idea & nice song.  It feels so good when ideas-in-progress finally get finished!  James

Re: When Her Brown Hair Falls

The chords are placed in front of the words that they are strummed on and I use kind of a slow 2 strum per chord or a finger pick that matches that time....It's not an up-tempo song but I think it flows better when played a little slower....With a slower 2 strum/chord rhythm it means lyrics flow a little faster though.

Re: When Her Brown Hair Falls
