Topic: Come On Back; It's Christmastime

As it's less than a week till the big day...lol, (Christmas is cancelled in the UK!) I thought I'd post this song I wrote on Thursday about a serial cheat that falls back on the sap that will take them back regardless as it's Christmas time.


Come On Back, It's Christmas TimeUndefined


( INTRO; Bm- E- D-A-E )




[A] You broke my heart last Christmas.


When you [D] ran away with my best friend.


By [E] Easter you came back again.


Your [D] love affair was at an [A] end.




Take me [G] back. Take me [D] back. You begged [A] me.


Take me [G] back. Take me [D] back. You're loving [A] me.


[A] Well, I took you back at Whitsun.


And [D] everything was going fine.


By the [E] first of July. I thought I would die.


Cos you [D] had packed your bags [A] again.


Come on [G] back. Come on [D] back. I'm begging [A] you.


Come on [G] back. Come on [D] back. Cos I love [A] you.


[Bm7] Everyone knows the [E] pain that you get.


When the [D] love of your [A] life has [E] gone.


But [Bm7] nobody knows the [D] pain you're in.


Cos you're [F#m] hiding it deep [E] inside.


(SOLO; A-D-E-D)







Come on [G] back. Come on [D] back. It's Christmas [A] time.


Come on [G] back. Come on [D] back. And you'll be [A] mine.


[A] Well, this year's gone so fast and the pain didn't last.


And I'm [D] starting to yearn for your lips.


[E] Christmas time is just days down the line.


And [D] you are the top of my [A] list.


Come on [G] back. Come on [D] back. It's Christmas [A] time.


Come on [G] back. Come on [D] back. And you'll be [A] mine.


[Bm7] Everyone knows the [E] pain that you get.


When the [D] love of your [A] life has [E] gone.


[Bm7] But nobody knows the [D] pain you're in.


Cos you're [F#m] hiding it deep [E] inside.


(SOLO; G-D-A| G-D-A)






Come on [G] back. Come on [D] back. It's Christmas [A]time.


Come on [G] back. Come on [D] back. And you'll be [A] mine. X2

Coming soon, just a few finishing touches....like sleigh bells....I'm not joking!

Phill
Looks like a good one - I too am waiting for the "sleigh bells"  recording.

Re: Come On Back; It's Christmastime

I'm looking forward to hearing it too, Phill.  But with all the angst and pain that your song evokes, it might be more appropriate to refer to them as "slay bells".  sad

Or "slayballs" in this case.   smile

Re: Come On Back; It's Christmastime

ooh Jim...you make-a me blush!

I don't know why I keep writing break-up songs, me and Ann are rock solid.

Thanks for reading and saying nice things, that's all a guy can ask for. As for the recording, I shall try and get it on soundcloud tonight if it sounds OK.

Re: Come On Back; It's Christmastime

here's a stripped back (near naked) demo, just voice, guitar, bass and tubular bells....no sorry I mean sleigh or slay bells

Re: Come On Back; It's Christmastime

Merry Christmas Phill that came out good with, sleigh slay bells and guitar " I slay I say I sleigh".. Nearly a tongue twister if one was to say," say sleigh slay" after a few beers. .  Maybe to get it to rhyme after a beer one would have to say, "hey hey hay  I say   I sleigh I slay".  Sorry about my weird humour  I am staring to sound like I am  a picnic short of a sandwich. A real good song you wrote there I liked it a lot.
Wishing you and Ann plus the rest of your family all the very best.

Re: Come On Back; It's Christmastime

and to you my friend and the lovely Maree.

to be honest i don't like that recording very much. it's very basic, my voice was a bit raspy...and i threw it all together quickly to get it up on soundcloud ASAP. i've been trying to finish the real recording which has key boards and drums and a guitar solo, but i know you guys prefer just voice and guitar so that's what i did.
