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 do have this habit of throwing out novelty foxtrots every so often. Not sure if it’s because of my granny’s wind up gramophone or the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band..?

Lyrics

HBD 09 Getting sentimental on you


EF#m     B
It’s not the kind of thing I’d usually say
                 C#m         F#             B  B2      B
But I’ve taken to gazing in a dreamy way
C#m     F#m
        Into your eyes of clearest blue
                    A                     A?       G+  E         B7
I fear I’m getting sentimental on you

I sit gazing in the air for hours
My mind is filled with images of trees and flowers
That’s not the kind of thing I usually do
       A       B7 E
I must be getting sentimental on you

(E)       G#m               A
You just need to give a glance in my direction 
         A           C#7
A chance reflection in your eyes I’ve seen
  F#m               G#m
Gives me cause to sigh imperceptibly
 F#     B        Bmaj7 B7
Fly irredemptably in thoughts se-       rene

So, think what you’re doing with your magical art
The feeling’s growing deep within my heart, and 
I hope coincidentally
You’re getting sentimental on me
