So I've been at a lack of inspiration lately...nothing new really. So to pass the time until it hit me I rummaged through the junk in my attic and found an old photo album. A picture from long ago grabbed my attention.
I see this as a nice slow acoustic song.
A Photograph
(D with some Dsus2 and Dsus4)
I met you in a photograph
so long ago
You were someone
I used to know
(Am with Asus2 and Asus4)
We stood together
Your hand in mine
All the memories
Swept away with time
Fate had it's way
It pulled us apart
Well I don't know you
But you're in my heart
*Short acoustic Solo*
(Rythm guitar continues strumming Am, Asus2 and Asus4)
(G)
Did time get the best of you?
Put you in the ground?
(D)
Or did you embrace it?
Are you still around?
(Dsus2)
Well I haven't found you
and I never will
(Dsus4)
You were my best friend
And you are still
(Am with Asus2 and Asus4)
We stood together
Your hand in mine
All the memories
Swept away with time
*Outro/Solo*
(Slow arpeggio highest strings to lowest of G)
I met you in a photograph
Howdy canrock. The old photo 'grabbed your attention',
and your song grabbed mine. It's a wonderful song, sorta melancholy.
Here's a version for suggestions only:
I Met You In A Photograph (The full line grabs attention more than just 'A Photograph')
I met you in a photograph =8
So long ago =4
You were someone with whom I laughed =8
I used to know =4
A time when we stood together =8
Your hand in mine =4
But all of those old memories =8
Were gone with time =4
It's funny how fate had its way =8
Pulled us apart =4
Now I don't know you, but I'll say =8
You're in my heart =4
- instrumental -
Dear, did time get the best of you =8
It's a crime if you're in the ground =8
Or did you embrace Father Time =8
And your sweet face is still around =8
Well, so far I haven't found you =8
I never will =4
Way back then you were my best friend =8
And you are still =4
Remember, we stood together =8
Your hand in mine =4
Like embers, all the memories =8
Burned up with time =4
I met you in a photograph
