upbeat picking
Artist picture
Singer-songwriter, arranger and producer: acoustic contemporary folk but ranging into rock/blues/country/jazz/humour...all very eclectic, I'm afraid!

Lyrics
DAG AD DAGA GAD Been picking on my old guitar Been picking on my bass Been picking through my photographs Picking out the pictures of your face Been picking through my memories Been picking through the past Don't want to feel chicken But how long’s this picking gonna last GDEm G D GBm DEm GA A7 First you said hello to me Then you said goodbye When I'm picking through my memories You know it makes me cry First you said you loved me Then you changed your mind I'm Slipping and I'm slowing Got to get myself going And see what I can find First you were a fantasy Then you came into my life What would I have had to do To keep our love alive Now you’re just a memory Seared into my soul You know my hearts a sundering And that it’s left me wondering How I’ll ever make it whole
