flatbaroque Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 Gday guys, here's a new one...In the spirit of full disclosure it is on my Martin OM-18V...my J-45 was in open G and I was in a hurry to record this (in standard) while the muse was active.And I like posting here cause I usually get a few comments unlike on the AGF.For the trivia minded you may spot a Rev Gary Davis reference and a Townes Van Zandt reference in the lyrics. Cheers Any comments appreciated. lyrics Chosen One This hour’s made for leaving Time to say goodbye All you bone fide travellers Of how and when and why You can ride a golden pony Upon the purple plain shatter your illusions Then glue them back again And when you walk You can take the sunshine with you Fill up your pockets with Tales of kingdom come If those amongst us in someway want to harm you I’d have them remember, you are the chosen one,the chosen one For every town without pity Another rises to be warm Sheets your bed in full redemption Heels you deep where you are torn And when you walk you’ll take the sunshine With you The love you offer Will never falter or be shunned The smallest mercies Will smooth the way before you Because you are the chosen one As you sleep there is a highway Unfolding ribbon from your mind in each dream it seems to pull you maybe you’re just the highway kind And when you walk you’ll take the sunshine with you Twelve gates will open and your restlessness is done The wolf will pause and the lambs will all rest easy Cause they know you are the chosen one And when you walk You can take the sunshine with you Fill up your pockets with Tales of kingdom come And when the birds have have all sung out Their lifetime You will still be The chosen one Always be The chosen one
