Echoes


(words and music by Chris Stanley © 2013)
Intro, v1 and v2  - keyboard (organ?) and vocals only

Verse 1:
C#m7
Empty house used to be so full of us
Empty house used to be enough
        F#m7                                      G#7
And I don’t like, I don’t like the wind blowing through the eaves
 
Verse 2:
Empty house, where we used to play our songs
Empty house, where it all went wrong
I don’t like, I don’t like the silence when you’re not with me

Chorus 1:
C#m7                                                                                                 F#m7                    G#7
When I play my guitar and you play on your piano we could find a song in anything
       C#m7
But now that you’re gone the world seems out of tune
                          F#m7                    G#7
Somehow the walls are closing in
        F#m7                                                                                              C#m7
And I am just an echo now singing back the words you used to sing
F#m7                                                                                     G#7
I am just an echo singing back the words you used to sing for me

Verse 3:
Empty sky - the colour of a broken heart
Empty sky - we sang until the stars went out
I don’t like, I don’t like the wind rushing through the trees

Chorus 2:
When I play my guitar and you play on your piano we could find a song in anything
But now that you’re gone the world seems out of tune
Somehow the walls are closing in
And I am just an echo now singing back the words that you sing
And I am just an echo singing back the words that you sing for me

Vocal interlude: A – C#m7 – A – G#7
 
Chorus 3:
When I play my guitar and you play on your piano we could find a song in anything
But now that you’re gone the world seems out of tune
Somehow the walls are closing in
C#m7                                                     F#m7                                         G#7
And I hear thunder rolling, rolling, I wonder what the storm will bring
I am just an echo now singing back the words you used to sing
And I am just an echo singing back the words you used to sing for me

Vocal interlude: A – C#m7 – A – G#7

Instrumental to end: C#m7 – F#m7 – G#7…C#m7
Rhythm section to adopt the various acoustic guitar rhythms as closely as possible
All lead guitar solo apart from quiet/arpeggio part, which will be an keyboard solo
