As I drifted off last night.

I’ll no doubt turn this into a song…

5/10/17  I was originally playing this with open chords, Capo 2nd fret.  Similar chords, as usual…and so last night I moved Capo to 9th fret and the pattern is more like what I want for this song.  I love that sweet melody up the neck.  This means I have to sing it a bit ‘lower’ (which is nice with the higher finger picking pattern) but I think I could alter the vocals a little to add some harmonic color.  And so…..

9/10/17

I’m really loving this song.  Makes me realize how far I’ve come on my songwriting journey

I think I need a ‘bridge’ between Verse & Choruses

Lyrics still need work – this is my first draft

Capo 9
Verses: F     G    Em    Am   Em
Chorus:   G   Am     C    D   G

V1
Waiting for his torch to shine into me black
Oh Baby Come Back
Petals of star lust feather up so high as I lie awake for you
Oh Baby Come Back
Lucid night holds me tight to dreams that strip my glare
I want you everywhere
Full throttle, message in a bottle
Oh Baby Come Back

Chorus
Maybe outside a soft rain gonna fall
But that don’t matter anyway
Cause baby by the time you hear this I’ll be gone
Yeah maybe outside a soft rain gonna fall
But that don’t matter anyway
Cause baby by the time you hear this I’ll be gone

V2
You are always there with me you’re my heavenly nightmare
Oh Baby Come Back
Lost him somewhere to stolen air we’re neither here to nowhere
Oh Baby Come Back
Oh Lord you let love stab its sword still I can’t hit his chord
Oh Baby Come Back
Still I lie, I lie awake for you as my heart breaks
Oh Baby Come Back
Hand shandy coloured candy
Oh Baby Come Back

Chorus
