martin stirrup

Singer-songwriter, arranger and producer: acoustic contemporary folk but ranging into rock/blues/country/jazz/humour...all very eclectic, I'm afraid!

Martin Stirrup Singer/songwriter An old folkie who got back into it... These days I sing and play guitar(s) and other stringed instruments, then score and orchestrate where appropriate. My taste becomes increasingly eclectic ranging from finger-picked folk through country to soft rock mixed in with a few more alternative and eccentric numbers, including the odd novelty foxtrot...

Story behind the song

I've had the bones of this song knocking about for a while with the guitar riff around the refrain but it came together with some excellent soprano sax once again from Jon Garvey. Thanks to Jon also for a few mixing tips... the joys of compression....

Lyrics

E                  G#m            D              A
 I know  I hurt you with the way I lied
     E                  G#m            D              A
 But let’s not talk about the nights you cried
          E                            C#m                   B           A...
 Cos since you’ve been gone it’s caused a change inside

 I’m a different person from the one before
 Since losing you, you know I’ve needed you more
 So let me in ’fore I break down the door

              F#m                                 E
 For this time, I’m gonna make it right
              F#m                                 E
 This time, mmm why don’t you let me stay the night

 For each mistake must be a second chance
 The night’s not over till that final dance
 There’s just one thing our love to enhance

 For this time, I’m gonna make it right
 This time, mmm  I’m gonna stay the night

       C#m                                            G#7
 Won’t you  stay with me, meet the dawn as one
                     C#m                                       B
 Let our love bathe in the glow of that rising sun


Instrumental break (sax!)   ( E            G#m            D              A)4

Repeat verse / repeat break  then up to C# 

(  G#m  F#)4  variants on

 This time, I’m gonna make it right
 This time, I’m gonna stay the night etc
