NOTES:

Tuning DADEBE

This song is actually a sort of mish mash, in that it encompasses a couple different song ideas and a line or two that I had originally planned to use on seperate songs… but I think this worked out anyway.

I’m posting a couple more tunes as well and it is because of the high harmony vox in this that the others don’t have BGV… Sometimes I have to remind myself that I’m a baritone. (=

This is also a musical trick to play… I use DADGAD and EAEEBE tunings fairly often and so I wanted something in a tuning between the two as a transition song during live performances…. yeah… I’m not sure that’s going to happen.

To steal an idea… this is for the unreleased album “Cynics Anonymous”

LYRICS:

I’ve seen it all
a million times
or I know
it’s up ahead

A thousand years
worth of crimes
stains the panes
inside my head

It’s hard to hope
it’s hard to heal
when the world
grows ever dim

And this is where
I learn to kneel
where I ask
it all of Him

Lord grant me vision
where I refuse to see
Make me the vessel
that I need to be

Lord grant me hope
despite my cynics eyes
open up my ears
to hear the helpless cries

They say There’s no justice
There’s only just us
I wish it was
hard to agree

The end will show
the balance of all things
the hand of love
belongs to you and me

Lord grant me vision
where I refuse to see
Make me the vessel
that I need to be

Lord grant me hope
despite my cynics eyes
open up my ears
to hear the helpless cries

Make me usable
