Topic: "Symphony Man"

Hello All,

A little while ago Old Doll sent me these words to put chords to and due to a misunderstanding it did not get done. Daddycool's song jogged my memory, thanks to you Daddycool, and I have now completed it. As per usual I have recorded it on FoC:

Symphony Man.Words by Helena Donovan


Music by Roger Guppy                                                     






Intro:


[C][D][G][D]



Verse 1:




[G]You are a symphony in [C]manly garb,


A [G]light to life which never [D]dims,


[C]Composing expressing ar[G]ticulation,


Delightin [C]all, some with [D]ador[G]ation.




Chorus:


Your [C]video and [G]cheeky grin,


En[C]lightened us and [D]sucked us [G]in,


You [C]showed us how your [G]Jammie Stats,


Was [D]never only meant for prats.



Verse 2:




You [G]made us see your [C]funny side,


A [G]teacher with a sense of [D]pride,


His [C]students with whom [G]he connects,



[C]Top of class, [D]no re[G]jects![D]





Verse3:




His [G]symphony it [C]must contain,


Coaxing [G]urging for better [D]gains,


De[C]velop, instill, [G]create or do,


To bring a[C]live the [D]art in [G]you.





Chorus:


[C]Write a song for [G]James oh no,


This [C]man whose brain I'd [D]like to [G]know,


At[C]tention to detail [G]he would scan,


For[D]getting this was about the Man.



Verse 4:




I'll [G]keep it simple [C]break the rules,


Send to [G]Chordie use the [D]tools,


And [C]James will do his [G]usual scan,


To make it [C]purdy for the [D]Symphony [G]Man.

Re: "Symphony Man"

Golly gee whiz!  I'm very touched and slightly embarrassed . . .

Old Doll, thank you so very very much for the lovely song - I have been on the sight several times since this posting went up, but was merely scanning for spam so I didn't read (and hear!) this posting until just now.  Lena, thank you thankyouverymuch!

Roger, that is a nifty little number there.  Well done and have a drink on me!  Lets see; there's Rogers & Hammersteon, Lerner & Loebe, Lennon & McCartney - - - we shall have to add "Doll & Guppy" to that list of musical teams!

Thanks - been trying to get droll stuff done around the house, and this truly brightened the day!  James

Re: "Symphony Man"

James!
This song came about, because my Son and i were watching "Jammie Statts" Video when first released to my space! He Remarked" how cool it must be to have a Teacher like you!  And you were a "Symphony "all on your own! He would be familiar with some of your songs..The word "Symphony" was the Inspiration to me for the song!         No need to be embarrassed at all, the Admin here deserve the compliments they receive for the great work they do.

Slán
Old Doll.
