Hi, I hope someone can Help. I urgently need the lyric's and music to I'll Walk Beside You written by Alan Murray. Kenneth McKellar was a Scotish tenor who performed the song.

I need the song to be sung at my Grandmothers funeral on 12 Feb 2002 as it is one of the songs she had requested.

Forever Hopeful Wendy

Wendy,

I have an old recording by Count John McCormack recorded in 1940. I will try to get you the lyrics tomorrow, but can't help with the chords. It is 1.30am here in Canada and I have to hit the hay, but will get on it as soon as I awake. Hopefully someone else may be able to get both the lyrics and the chords before the date required Condolences on the loss of your Grandmother.

Jimmy.

Looks like Luka Bloom/Cherish the Ladies recorded it, too: The Girls Won't Leave The Boys Alone

There's an MP3 sound sample here. It's not quite a whole verse, but I think there's enough to accurately guess how it ends.

Golly, that could be done as a hymn, as is or with a verse added about heaven. Lovely.

Wendy, I am sure you can sing this, learning it from the recordings above if necessary. Were you going to play it on guitar or is someone accompanying you, and if so what instrument? It would be just as lovely a capella.

Thank you all for your help. I have managed to get my hands on some sheet music for the song to give to the organist to perform for us.

The sounds clips are great and provide good ideas for how it should be performed.

Forever greatful Wendy

Hi, now I am the one desperately searching for the guitar chords for this very piece for a Wedding Anniversary party for my grandparents. I'll tried everywhere and can't seem to find it. Has anyone happened to across them?

I'LL WALK BESIDE YOU
Edward Lockton / Alan Murray

Chorus
A                               D       A
I'll walk beside you through the world today
                                  E
While dreams and songs and flowers bless your way
    F#m            D                  A
I'll look into your eyes and hold your hand
                                 E      A
I'll walk beside you through the golden land.

Chorus

I'll walk beside you through the world tonight
Beneath the starry skies ablaze with light
Within your soul love's tender words I'll hide
I'll walk beside you through the eventide.

Chorus

I'll walk beside you through the passing years
Through days of clouds and sunshine, joy and tears
And when the great call comes the sunset gleams
I'll walk beside you to the land of dreams.

I am also looking for the sheet music for "I'll walk beside you through the world today" by Alan Murray and Edward Lockton. I have the lyrics and several youtube versions of various people singing it but need the sheet music for my wedding in about three weeks time as we have a pianist who can only play from printed music (and not by ear). Please is there anybody out there that can help lie it would appear helped a Guest Wendy Watts about 10 years ago.
