Do you remember the Theme from the Paramount Picture "The Godfather Part II" Love Said Goodbye? Here's the song on video performed by an artist with a softer side that I really like.
The song was written in 1974 with words by Larry Kusik and music by Nino Rota. It's written in the Key of E minor with 4/4 time signature, played rather slowly. You can download the music for free at, http://www.wikifonia.org/node/10509
The song goes something like this:
Intro
F
B7
Em
How cold, the
*Em wind that whispers
Am6 you are
Em gone; How sad, the rain that cries your
AM6 name at
B dawn. Where is the
A laugh
Am7 ter that
D7sus we
D7 once
G knew?
C Had I but
F reached, would I
B7 still have (CODA)
Em you? Seeker of dreams was
E7 I. then I
Am lost my way; keeper of
Bm7(b5) hope that promised
E7 love for another
Am day How did it
F#7 all slip
B7(sus) way? B7*
(CODA)
Em
F
B7
Em
Here I am... playing the exact same chords on my old acoustic piano that my mother gave me when I was a child, that I am sharing with you here in this post. You can hear the sad E minor sound with your ear. Are there other similar songs you have played that remind you of a heavy heart?
