My Heart's a Token (Rough Concept Recording)
debbizo
I recorded the guitar and vocals separately and also recorded the solo separately. This is an original song and I think I can improve on the vocals and guitar playing, but I hope it is useful. (I will include samples) Thanks for the drums spinningmerkaba!
In this version I cut the percussion for the solo part. Version without percussion here
My heart’s a token
[Intro] Em7 / A7 / Cmaj7 / A7 x 2
Em7 A7
I see you walkin
Cmaj7 A7
on the other side of the street
Em7 A7
But when I look at you
Cmaj7 A7
our eyes never meet
CHORUS
Em7 Cmaj7
And my heart is broken
Em7 A7
Cause you won’t look at me no more
Em7 A7
And my heart’s a token
Cmaj7 A7
Of the love we had before
Em7 A7
We used to sleep
Cmaj7
beside each other
A7
skin to skin
Em7 A7
and wake up in the morning
Cmaj7 A7
together as the light filtered in
CHORUS
Em7 Cmaj7
Now my heart is broken
Em7 A7
Cause you won’t look at me no more
Em7 A7
And my heart’s a token
Cmaj7 A7
Of the love we had before
[SOLO]
Dmaj7 Em7
And I’m still on my own
A7 Dmaj7
Missing what we had
Em7
If I could have you back
A7 Dmaj7
I’d never make you sad
Dmaj7 Em7
I must have hurt you bad(ly)
A7 Dmaj7
I’m sorry if I did
Em7
Let me make it up to you
A7 Dmaj7
Can you for-give me?
CHORUS
Em7 Cmaj7
Now my heart is broken
Em7 A7
Cause you won’t look at me no more
Em7 A7
And my heart’s a token
Cmaj7 A7
Of the love we had before
