This song was written by Pat Humphreys and it's just simply a great song.
I really, really love this song.
It's one that just works for me,
every single word, all the way through.
The first time I heard it, I stood in the back of the room
and we were doing a concert together at a place called the Folkway, Peterborough, New Hampshire.
And she was finishing up her set and I was standing in the back and she was singing this song.
Perfect.
Every word is perfect.
And I kept waiting for that one line that just wouldn't fit.
And it never came.
It was all perfect.
So, sing it.
I know, shut up and sing.
Will you please, Louie?
Alright, got it.
[G] I will do it.
But first I'm going to teach you your part because your part is completely
different from mine.
But believe me, there's fewer words in yours.
She tends to write choruses
like I do with about 50 words in each line.
And so I'll sing that
part and you guys will have an easy part that I wrote when I recorded this.
I wrote
a descant part to it.
[Bb] And so I'll teach you that.
And you can
sing that, the easy part, while I sing mine.
So I'll sing it with you a few times.
Don't worry.
So your part goes,
We [G] are living, we [Dm] are dwelling
[Eb] In [Bb] a grand [C] and awesome
[F] time.
