Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Will I See Thee More From: Terry McDonald Date: 03 Oct 10 - 03:01 PM I came across it on a YouTube video by John Tams, and at the end he simply says 'John McCusker' so I assumed he'd written both words and melody. I think it's a glorious tune and learnt it immediately. I do it in F, but capo it to the third fret, so the chords are all 'D shapes.' |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Will I See Thee More From: Dennis the Elder Date: 03 Oct 10 - 02:18 PM Thanks Terry and Joe, now you mention it Joe I seem to remember John's introduction to the song and to his writing of the words. I have just listened to Jim Causley's version Terry as you suggested, and yes it is different and I find I like both versions. It is such a good song. I have already started practicing, my voice being around the same key as Jim's, maybe my version will be a combination of both, although just a pale imitation of either of theirs. |

Subject: Lyr Add: WILL I SEE THEE MORE (John McCusker) From: Terry McDonald Date: 03 Oct 10 - 11:16 AM Must I be bound to leave your side? When all my heart is begging me to bide And every step takes me further from your door. Will I see thee more, Will I see thee more? Shield me ffrom the burning sky The blinding storms around me fly A host of poppies, hidden in great store Will I see thee more, Will I see thee more? And all the Queen's horses and all of her men Cannot put the world together again Another war to end all war Will I see thee more, Will I see thee more? And if peace comes, then let it be soon November rain, the empty tomb Christian soldiers marching as to war Will I see thee more, Will I see thee more? And all the Queen's horses........... Must I be bound to leave your side, When all thy heart is begging me to bide And every step's still further from your door Will I see thee more, Will I see thee more? And all the Queen's horses...... BUT - after 'another war to end all war' there's 'I think they've told us all of this before' then 'Will I see thee more, Will I see thee more. Yes, written by John McCusker for the Under One Sky project. Try and listen to Jim Causley sing it - rathewr different from John Tams. |
Subject: Lyr Req: Will I See Thee More From: Dennis the Elder Date: 03 Oct 10 - 10:49 AM I have Just heard John Tams and Barry Coope sing "Will I see Thee More" at The Rock, Maltby, South Yorkshire. I believe it was written by John McCusker. Would anyone have the Lyrics please? |
