Alright, This is a fine ol' chune by David Francey,
not sure if many people know of him or not..
I've just recently heard of him and like some of his
stuff quite a bit..another great song by him is
'Come Rain Or Come Shine'..I'll try and get that one
up soon as well
it sounds alot better if you fingerpick it
..also hammer on the A string when you make the
G chord
and the G string when you make the A chord
Intro: Dusu4 D Dsus4 D A
Dsus4 D Dsus4 D A
I saw you first in the smoky café light
G A D
Where I'd come in from the frozen winter night
Dsus4 D Dsus4 D A
And I saw a face that put the stars to shame
G A D
I loved you 'fore I ever knew your name
Dsus4 D Dsus4 D A
And my heart sank, lost without a trace
G A D
And it's a lucky man that gets to kiss your face
I've seen you shine in the summer, spring and fall
But it's winter when I love you best of all
And I've seen you in the spotlight hard and bright
And I've seen you in the shadows of the night
And when I see you coming I can feel my cold
heart race
And it's a lucky man that gets to kiss your face
I heard you singing to that empty hall
And I heard the joy that echoed off the walls
And I realized when all is said and done
That youth is never wasted on the young
And I don't believe the silence of this place
And it's a lucky man that gets to kiss your face
not sure if many people know of him or not..
