Topic: Misty morning blue

This was a song I submitted to last months FSOTM, in case anyone needs it:

Misty Morning BlueRichard Mortimer




Intro


[Am] [Asus2] [C] [G] [Am] [Asus2] [C] [D]


[Am]Another misty morning [G]blue[E]


a[Am]nd I'm still haunted by the [G]memory of you[E]


[Am]you took my world and turned it [G]upside down[E]


[Am]and left me naked with a t[G]horny crown[E]




[D]floating through the trees [C]my mind is gone


[D]never knew if it was ever [C]there


[D]babbling brooks with [C]rock beneath


[D]white tall cliffs in my [C]vacant stares[G]




[Am]crucified by you on a [G]lonely hill[E]


[Am]my body moved but my brai[G]n is there still[E]


[Am]you laughed as you [G]turned the knife[E]


[Am]drain the blood right [G]from my life[E]



[D]over valleys of green [C]my mind is gone


[D]never knew if it was ever re[C]ally there


[D]babbling brooks with ro[C]cks beneath


[D]white tall cliffs in my [C]vacant stares[G]


mid 8


[Am] [C] [D] [E] [Am] [C] [D] [E] [G] [F#] [E] [ B] [G] [F#] [ B] [D]


[Am]Another misty morning [G]blue[E]


[Am]stirring memories of [G]what I do[E]


[Am]it's not right for us to [G]understand[E]


[Am]things that lay out be[G]yond this land[E]




[D]floating through the trees [C]my mind is here


[D]I can see it from where I [C]pass


[D]babbling brooks with rock [C]beneath


[D]white tall cliffs in my [C]vacant stares[G]




[||:] [Am]Another [G]misty [C]morning blue[D] [C] [| 4x">neutral| 4x]

Re: Misty morning blue

Nice song, Neo ... very good! It reminds me somewhat of Gordon Lightfoot's "In the Early Morning Rain", which is (wait for it) almost as good as yours!

Re: Misty morning blue

I'm not sure if I've ever heard you on YT, but I think you have a "Blood On The Tracks" in you somewhere, Richard. I wish I was good enough to present something for FSOTM. but for now, I'm satisfied just to listen to all my talented friends.

Thanks - I recently picked up an old Gordon Lightfoot music book, so I'll have to check out if that song is in it; I must confess I just know a couple of his songs ("If you could read my mind" and "Sundown"), but I like what I hear ...

Thanks for that - I had to do a search as I wasn't familiar with the name; now I'll do more research smile
