Chords
Write a song inspired by Marlon Williams. The song is called 'I've Never Known'. The purpose of the song is
to make an enquiry into the people that have disappeared from the songwriter's life. Each verse illustrates
a short story of one person who has left the life of the songwriter. The chorus begins "I've never known why
good people walk away". Include guitar chords. Primarily use the chords Em and B7.
[Verse 1]
Em First there was Anna, with her laughter so bright B7 Vanished in the summer, gone without a fight Em She said she'd return, but the days turned to years B7 Leaving just a memory, and a heart full of tears
[Chorus]
Em I've never known why good people walk away B7 Leaving echoes of their footsteps, shadows in the day Em I've never known why they go and disappear B7 Leaving us to wonder, drowning in our fears
[Verse 2]
Em Then there was Johnny, my brother and friend B7 One day he was laughing, the next it was the end Em He chased his dreams to the far-off west B7 Left us with questions, and hearts that never rest
[Chorus]
Em I've never known why good people walk away B7 Leaving echoes of their footsteps, shadows in the day Em I've never known why they go and disappear B7 Leaving us to wonder, drowning in our fears
[Verse 3]
Em Remember sweet Clara, her songs like a breeze B7 She moved to the city, got lost in the trees Em She wrote me a letter, said she'd found her way B7 But the silence grew longer with each passing day
[Chorus]
Em I've never known why good people walk away B7 Leaving echoes of their footsteps, shadows in the day Em I've never known why they go and disappear B7 Leaving us to wonder, drowning in our fears
[Bridge]
Em Maybe there's a reason, maybe there's a plan B7 But the holes in my heart, they don't understand Em The faces fade but the pain remains B7 As I sit here alone, calling out their names
[Chorus]
Em I've never known why good people walk away B7 Leaving echoes of their footsteps, shadows in the day Em I've never known why they go and disappear B7 Leaving us to wonder, drowning in our fears
[Outro]
Em So here's to the ones who have gone their own way B7 You'll live in my heart, come whatever may Em I've never known why you had to leave B7 But I'll hold on to the love, and the memories we weave
