Topic: Play the pipes out loud and bring peace

I've got to write a third A section but here is the song so far.

Play the pipes out and bring peaceTrevor Scrivens


Capo 1st fret




 




A1




As I[C] lay here[G] dying in the[Am] smoke and the[F] mud




And the[C] last rays of[G] light shine down on me


Before I[Am] raise my[F] head to the[G] heavens above


Play the[C] pipes out[G] loud and bring[C] peace


 




A2




I have[C] lived a short[G] life but I’ve[Am] laughed and I’ve[F] loved




And I’ve[C] seen more horror than[G] any man should see


before my[Am] soul asc-[F] ends to the[G] heavens above


Play the[C] pipes out[G] loud and bring[C] peace


 




B1




Play them[Am] full play them[F] bright with[G] all your[Em] Might




Hear them[Am] sound across the[F] valleys, hills and[G] seas



Bring[Am] hope joy and[F] love to our[G] broken[Em] world


Play the[C] pipes out[G] loud and bring[C] peace


 






 


A3


As I[C] take my last[G] breath I see my[Am] home and my[F] ma




And there’s[C] molly standing[G] by the old elm tree




I reach[Am] out my arms[F] then I go with[G] god


Play the[C] pipes out[G] loud and bring[C] peace


Repeat B1




 


B1 Instrumental




 


Outro


Play the[C] pipes out[G] loud and bring[C] peace




Play the[C] pipes out[G] loud and bring[C] peace

Trevor

A sad, but very spiritual and moving  song. In my mind it sounds like a young soldier that is wounded badly
and is anticipating that he won't get home again.

The lyrics are fantastic
anticipating an even greater third verse ( just to put the pressure on !  smile  )
I will look forward to the finished version when recorded.

Cheers

Jim

Thanks Jim ,you've got it. I want the last A section to be a conclusion to enhance  the last B section . Got a block at the moment.  But when done will record and post.

I can imagine a Scottish  man wearing his Kilt singing that.  Excellent lyrics so far ctech.

Just added last verse not 100% sure about it though.
Thanks peatle, Yes I seems so though I'm not Scottish. 
Mojo yes has to be some kind of pipes playing in there.

Re: Play the pipes out loud and bring peace

No Jim i don't play the bagpipes but probably could find a vsti (virtual instrument ) or a kontakt library that may sound good.
