The Session Song

Guitar open G capo 1 (Ab)

I looked for a song I looked for a tune
I thought there a chance of finding one soon
But I was mistaken I was at fault
All of the music had come to a halt

I looked for a tune I looked for a song
And beginning to think that something was wrong
Picked up me guitar and started to play
But nothing came out so I put it away

OH DEAR WHAT CAN THE MATTER BE
ALL OF THE MUSIC HAS GONE FROM RIGHT OUT OF ME
SEARCHING ALL AROUND
IF IT’S NOT IN YOUR HEART IT CAN NEVER BE FOUND

I scoured the place right up and right down
To see if there was a jam to be found
Hunting around and seeking inside
No music came out wherever I tried

My friends had all gone their instruments too
But playing was all I wanted to do
I was trying to find the music I’d lost
No matter what pain and no matter what cost

OH DEAR …

And then I gave up I couldn’t care
I was looking for something that just wasn’t there
I couldn’t be bothered to suffer so long
Knowing that all of my music had gone

I just couldn’t sing I just couldn’t play
My urge to join in had been slipping away
And now I was tired and now I was cross
And now I was mourning my terrible loss

OH DEAR …

Never be found
You should always look in your heart
Or the music will never start
It’ll never be found

I was wandering round so aimlessly
No crack to be heard no sessions to see
Then amongst all the people milling about
Up comes a wave and up goes a shout

Hey what have you got, hey what can you do
You’re looking for something and I’m looking too
Why don’t we find it right here and right now
We can start anything any old how

GONE NOW IS WHAT ONCE WAS A LACK TO ME
ALL OF THE MUSIC COMES FLOODING RIGHT BACK TO ME
I DON’T NEED TO SEARCH AROUND
IF IT’S THERE IN YOUR HEART IT CAN ALWAYS BE FOUND
IF IT’S THERE IN YOUR HEART IT CAN ALWAYS BE FOUND
IF IT’S THERE IN YOUR HEART IT CAN ALWAYS BE FOUND
ALWAYS BE FOUND
