My cover of Steve Perry's "Oh Sherrie", this time mainly set as a backing track for aspiring vocalists to enjoy. I have no singing capacity so I'll leave that for the ones who have.
Classic rock cover
Hello World!, I say WELCOME. I'm a 57 years old classic rock fan and musician. For the most part I only do covers of classic rock and folk songs but am known from slipping in an occasional ballad or instrumental here and there too.
Story behind the song
I had been working on this one for a LONG time, not a difficult song to do but still changes kept creeping up here and there. This is one of the songs that showcases Steve Perry's vocals wide range... steady rock tempo.
Lyrics
You should've been gone
Knowing how I made you feel
And I should've been gone
After all your words of steel
Oh, I must've been a dreamer
And I must've been someone else
And we should've been over
Oh, Sherrie, our love
Holds on, holds on
Oh, Sherrie, our love
Holds on, holds on
Oh, I want to let go
You'll go on hurtin' me
You'd be better off alone
If I'm not who you thought I'd be
But you know that there's a fever
Oh, that you'll never find nowhere else
Can't you feel it burnin'
On-and-on
Oh, Sherrie, our love
Holds on, holds on
Oh, Sherrie, our love
Holds on, holds on
Oh, Sherrie
[Instrumental Interlude]
Oh, Sherrie
But I should've been gone
Long ago, far away
And you should've been gone
Now I know you'd lie
You'll stay
Oh, Sherrie, our love
Holds on, holds on
Oh, Sherrie, our love
Holds on, holds on
Oh, Sherrie, our love
Holds on, holds on
Hold on
Oh, Sherrie
