Misc Originals – Bert Tann - I Wrote A Song Once (Guitar)

E                      A                      E
I wrote a song once and copied the words from a book

          B7     A           E
From that moment I was understood.

                              A                      E
People loved me and that song, It ain’t long but its strong

  B7                              A          E
They said the words were great and the music was good

                                A     E
I played that song for one and then many

 B7                      A                              E
Broke the rules played it slow and soft and then played heavy

                                         E        A
There were nights when the crowd shouted more and more

E                                    B7
Clapped their hands and stamp their feet

E                                    A
There were a times when the almighty spoke to me

B7                  A         E
Your using words of mine from pages so bless me.

E                               A              E
I blessed the lord then blessed my mother and father

    B7                     A                             E
For giving me this life of song, for giving me my first guitar.

E
When I am sad and blue I can say to god bless you

B7               A                             E
So I say to you, god don’t mind if you sing the blues.
