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

Story behind the song
We were in Mrauk U, Myanmar for our 'Ruby Valentine'... and Sheila produced a card she'd been carrying around for a couple of weeks. I, needless to say, had suffered a foresight failure so I wrote her this song (in about 5 minutes) and sang it to her a cappella to make up for it... it was either that or singing ' My Old Dutch'. Happy anniversary to my beautiful wife of 40 years (on 10th june 2012). Recorded at Chateau Shardeloes with thanks to Jon Garvey in Devon for the brass. Youtube clip at : http://youtu.be/BqyV2f0xoOc
Lyrics
E E6 F#m B9 Eb+ E F#m B On your window I’m the gecko I’m the minah in your tree E F#m B Whatever else you’re looking at your mind is seeing me E F#m B In your pond I’m the lotus On your flower I’m your bee E F#7 B7 There’s really nothing you can do to get away from me…. G+ G#m Gm A F#° You’re mine, you know I’m putting up that sign G+ G#m Gm A F#° G+ G#m C# F# B You’re mine, so you might as well resign yourself to me – ee can’t you see? G+ G#m Gm A F#° You’re mine, no matter what you try to do G+ G#m Gm A F#° G+ G#m C# You’re mine, there’s no other handsome who, you’ll see.. You’ll be as blind as you can be A G° ‘cos that’s what happens when love takes you Remodels and remakes you E E+ C# Leaves you spinning,, grinning happily F#7 B7 E I’m yours,You’re mine, so you might as well sign on the dotted line You’re mine, I’ve had it posted on the net You’re mine, so there’s no point to fret or worry….y take it from me You’re mine, in a thousand ways or more You’re mine, at the risk of being a bore I’ll say That you’ll never get away You’ll hear those bells a ringing All the angels singing You’ll really learn that two is company F#7 B7 E E+ C# I’m yours,You’re mine, so you might as well resign yourself to me F#7 B7 E B7 E I’m yours,You’re mine, so you might as well sign on the dotted line
