I want you

This was written as a straight guitar song, but then I fancied a bit of banjo on it, then some bass.... and it just kinda grew out of all proportion. If you want to hear a straight guitar/ vocal 'live' version click here.

 

D hammer D6 D
I want you, I want you, I want you for myself
C2 G
It’s getting kind of lonely up here on the shelf
Bm A G D G A
Will I get to climb the silver lining only time will tell
D hammer C G D
I want you, I want you, I want you for myself




Bm A G D
Life’s just a runaway train careening down the track
Bm A G A
You can turn around, andturn again but there ain’t no turning back
Bm A G D
Too much wishful thinking can just put you on the rack
C A
But though I know I’ve nothing there’s just one thing that I lack




Come take your medicine or just take to the hills
Time to make your purchase now and take it to the tills
Do it for propriety or do it for the thrills
I’ve got the inclination, if you’ve got the will
