Loading ...I meant to post this a long time ago, but it took me a month or two to play it without crying. I think this take sounds kind of detached (and washed out), but it’s always gonna be sub-par so I’m uploading it now, just so I’ll have done it. It’s dedicated to Kristal, AKA Query, a fellow Boingo/Elfman/Batman fan who would have been 31 in May. And thanks everyone for the comments, they’re immensely heart-warming. The Chords: (Intro, Chorus) CG Am FF, GCFCG Am FF, GCFCG Am FGC (Chorus) Bridge: CGCGFGC (repeat)

I love this song. Yours is so sad and beautiful. Makes me think of my grand daughter. One more song to make me mourn her, but in a peaceful way

Nice! I like your voice and your uke skills! This song makes me sad too. I always play it on New Years Eve & New Years Day.

@cookypinapple That made me smile!
It’s a pretty good song to start out on, because it’s only three chords. Just get the hang of the change-ups on the verse, chorus and bridge, and you’re good!

I love this song. I don’t cry when anyone else plays this, but I feel your emotion and get misty when I listen to your version. =)
I hope you are on the healing path.
-Much love.
