Topic: Grass In Your Hair

Grass in Your Hair.Undefined


[Em] Grass in your [C] hair. [Em] Leaves in the [C] pocket of your [D] coat.


[Em] If I didn't [C] care; [Em] would I take the [C] time to [D] look?


[Em] Your mind's somewhere [C] else. [Em] Your here, but you [C] don't [D] want to be.


[Em] It's plain if you [C] look. [Em] You don't want to [C] spend [D] time with me.




(CHORUS)




[G] We fell [Em] apart. [G] Maybe we [Em] weren't ever [C] meant to be.


[G] We were drifting [Em] along. [G] But something [Em] changed between [C] you and me.


[Am] Maybe it's [D] broke...and it's best if we just throw it [Em] away.




Grass in your hair. A Freudian slip to break the news to me.


Did you meet someone else? Is he the one or the escape from me?


Is there nothing to save? No last gasp of what remains of it.


Has the love we once shared. Dissolved in the ashes of memory.




(REP CHORUS).





Grass in your hair. Would you tell me if I was the cause of it?


Or are you scared, scared of a life with just me in it?


I don't hold you down. Your free to come and go as you want to.


Are you hanging around, till someone better comes to go with you.




(REP CHORUS).




Grass in your hair. Do you need me to ask you what to do?


I know I'm no star. You once thought of me as the one.


Your a long way from here. Your mind's running through a field.


And there `neath the trees, your other lover appears.




(REP CHORUS X 2)




Grass in your hair. I guess I'm the one who lost out.


This is not fair. I'm counting the cost of a broken affair.

Hi Phill,

What a very sad song."

" Grass in your hair, leaves in  the pockets of your coat".

Very revelatory i feel. Yes i get a feeling of lovers probably young.  Grass in my own hair back then ? Maybe [ to far back to remember ] but leaves i still have from one time in between the leaves of  books..

Lovely piece Phill. I looked to see was it up  on myspace , but no joy yet.
Ill check again soon.

Re: Grass In Your Hair

Skilled song. Like it alot.

Re: Grass In Your Hair

hi peeps,

i guess it is a sad song, it's about a couple [young?] one feels their thing has run it's course [the chorus part...i'd like this part done by a female singer...too shy to ask] and the verses are the male part...or vice versa. the guy finds grass in the girls hair and naturally suspects the girl of cheating, which she may have been, but she wants out of the relationship any-way so there you go!

grass in your hair was the part that started the song off, i had been strumming a few chords, and the line came to me. the rest was a natural progression suggested by that line.

i have put it on my web page [myspace] so please have another look.

thanks for all your great comments

Great stuff as always.
thanks for sharing

Ps Phill I've being listening to your myspace songs there seem to be some new ones there.
all good.. smile

Re: Grass In Your Hair

hi ark,
thought about it, but it was a little on the long side. i'm not the greatest soloist anyway, so it would have been a little pretentious and most likely naff.

ps, if i ever get `round to recording it professionally i'll give you a shout...

Re: Grass In Your Hair

I have three words Phill,

Wow and Wow. big_smile

This is an excellent composition from start to finish. I really love the base line. big_smile This has a Moody Blues feel to it and that is a very good thing.
5 thumbs up.
You do good work my friend. big_smile
It's been awhile since I've been online and visited your site...I see you have been busy writing. I'll be back to hear more as I'm just reacquainting myself with my puter.
By the By... I met a couple from Wales that have been in Canada for two years. They are real nice folks and it was a real pleasure. They are from Ponty Pridd??? and they also lived in Penafth??? near Cardiff.
I'm reading this off the note they gave me,their names are Teish? and Sahirn? It's hard to read it but the upshoot was they are a cool couple and I said I would say BOO to you, so from my new friends.....BOO. big_smile
Let me know if you know the area.

Re: Grass In Your Hair

Love this one Phil. Really good song. It came across well written down but came across fantastically in the recording.

Great job sir. Excellent work. Love the fact that you record your work too. I never get the melody or phrasing right in my head so hearing someone's songs really helps me out.

Good stuff.

All I got, is a red guitar, three chords and the truth

Re: Grass In Your Hair

thanx for your comments,

it's a funny thing, but once i've finished writing and recording a song, i tend to forget about it! so it's nice to be able to go back to myspace or soundclick and hear the songs again.

it's a strange feeling, i know i wrote them, but they sound like they belong to someone else....it must be old-age creeping up on me
