I heard a song called "Windy Harbour" performed by The John Wright Band. He said it's not his song but the person who wrote it fell out of my head along with the brain cells the nights beer drinking destroyed. I can't seem to find any trace of the song online and therefore have naturaly ended up in the all knowing bussom of the Mudcatters. Does anyone know which song i'm going on about and more so does anyone know chords and lyrics? The song hit a bit of a chord with me cos it's about fathers and sons and would love to learn it :) Thanks in advance :P |

13 Feb 12 - 05:11 AM (#3307304) Subject: RE: Chord Req: Windy Harbour - John Wright Band From: Ian Hendrie This is a transcription I did some time ago. The chords are my attempt and are probably wrong - they're certainly not line up in the right place when I upload them, but I'm not sure the best way to alter this so it is correct for everyone. If anyone's got a better set of chords I'd be grateful. Windy Harbour Pete Abbott C G Am I'm standing on the beach at Windy harbour Dm G Looking out across the open sea C G Am I remember being here once with my Father Dm G On a summer evening 1963 C G Am And he said "Son, take a look on the horizon Dm G There's a world beyond I long for you to see C G Am But if you ever sail across the ocean Dm G C Remember son this day you had with me" G He said, "Life is a game Am Dm Win or lose it's all the same G Dm You live and you die G Just don't let it pass you by C Am You have choices to make Dm You have chances to take G C You will laugh, you will sing and you will cry Dm G C But don't let a moment pass you by" So I'm standing here again at Windy Harbour Looking out once more across the sea But this time it is me who is the Father And younger eyes are looking up to me And I said "Son, take a look on the horizon There's a world beyond that I have never seen But I hope one day you'll sail across that ocean To all the places I have never been" "You see life is a game Win or lose it's all the same You live and you die Just don't let it pass you by You have choices to make You have chances to take You will laugh, you will sing, and you will cry But don't let a moment pass you by Remember, life is a game Win or lose it's all the same You live and you die Just don't let it pass you by You have choices to make You have chances to take You will laugh, you will sing, and you will cry Spread your wings and you will fly But don't let a moment Not one precious moment Don't let a moment pass you by |
