I wrote this song 7/2/14, recorded it the morning of 7/3/14. I was thinking of the precious things that need to be protected. Sorry about the bad ending, I need to remix it and fade it out – I’ll try to get a new mix up sometime.

Sacred Beauty by Willy Grigg 7/2/14

[A] Sacred water / Sacred sky
Sacred [E] green things / Sacred [A] life
May all these things / Be [D] preserved
May you [A] care for them [E] like they’re your [A] own

[A] Sacred vision / Sacred dove
Sacred [E] body / Sacred [A] love
May all these things / Be [D] preserved
May you [A] care for them [E] like they’re your [A] own

[A] Sacred beauty / You know it was
Put into [E] your hands / As a Sacred [A] trust
May all these things / Be [D] preserved
May you [A] care for them [E] like they’re your [A] own

Here’s a new song I wrote and recorded 7/2/14. I was thinking about writing a John Jacobs Niles song. A sad, lonely, quivering, spooky folk song. I got this instead.

Loves Me The Same by Willy Grigg 7/2/14
|[Bm] [A/C#][D] | [D] |

I [A]gave my love a [D]locket, to [Bm] remind her what I [A] look like
And [E] I inscribed it [F#m] to her, in [A] case she forgets my [E]name
[E] I told her that I [F#m] loved her, like [A] grass, like wind, like [DMaj7]starlight

But [Bm] I don’t [A/C#] think my [D] love
[Bm] I don’t [A/C#] think my [D] love
[Bm] I don’t [A/C#] think my [D] love
Loves [E] me the [A] same

I [A]took my love a [D] walking, though she was [Bm]several feet in [A] front of me
She [E] couldn’t hear me [F#m] talking, I [A] don’t know who’s to [E] blame
I love her like a [F#m] drowning man, holding [A] on for all I’m [DMaj7] worth

But [Bm] I don’t [A/C#] think my [D] love
[Bm] I don’t [A/C#] think my [D] love
[Bm] I don’t [A/C#] think my [D] love
Loves [E] me the [A] same
