PG Music Home Forums General Discussion User Showcase A Girl Like You

A Girl Like You is an old song, but one of my favorites. I had a decent version before I discovered BB, it is still listed on Soundcloud. This new version takes full advantage of the BB capabilities. There are many live overdubs, including guitars, organ and percussion, but the BB rhythm section carries the tune.

A GIRL LIKE YOU
GCDGCD
GC You've got yourself a girl but you know there's nothing in it
GC It's the only game around so you take it to the limit
GC Keep your feelings to yourself and you hope it will be better next
D time, next time around
GC You can play it to the end, you could stop it on a dime
GC and you'd like to shop around but you haven't got the time
GC You can chase the little girls but you never can forget about the
D love that you haven't found
GFAm A girl like you could make my life a wonderland
G I was overdue for love
FAm running back and forth like a squirrel in the road
FAmD walking alone on a crowded avenue
G looking for a girl like you
GC Looking, I've been looking so long GC Looking, I've been looking so long
GG When you come upon a love that you know is gonna stay
GC Tell her everything you feel, don't you let her slip away
GC Take whatever time it needs, let her see that she's the only one that
D you want to know about
GC Take her gently in your arms, let your feelings run deep
GC As you give all of your love, hold each other in your sleep
GC And you'll never have to worry, never have to keep your feelings inside,
you can let it out
GFAm A girl like you could make my life a wonderland
G I was overdue for love
FAm running back and forth like a squirrel in the road
FAmD walking alone on a crowded avenue
G looking for a girl like you.
GCD GCD
EmBm I can see how you smile at me
EmBm the way your hair shines like the sunrise
EmBmAm I can see tomorrow looking through your eyes
EmBmEmBm Just a moment here with you is like a weekend by the seaside
EmBmAm Such a world of mystery hiding in your eyes
GEmD All of my life I 've been looking for a girl like you GEm So many times I thought I fell in love DG but I never met a girl like you
GC Looking, I've been looking so long, GC Looking, I've been looking so long

Nice driving rock song; great vocal and writing thanks for sharing!

Good to see a new post from you. I like the song and performance.



Charlie

That was fun. I liked all the variations on the chorus and interlude as far as background. Changing it up like you did kept it interesting. I could definitely relate to the "squirrel in the road" line. That was a great analogy.

Cool rocker. It all works for us, the vocals,
the write, the arrangement and the production.
Not a lot of rock around here...maybe this
will stir the pot. We enjoyed it.

J&B

Nice one, I enjoyed expecially the 'EmBmAm' part, a nice chords progression where your voice fits perfectly in and the Am works as a 'melodic bridge' to the next chords, really good !

The reverb on the singing is also good.

Take care,
Sergio

Hi ...

First time we've listened to you. We've been away from the site for about 9 months due to health and family issues. Nice to "meet" you!

Good rocker ... to us, it has a late 70's Brit sound to it. The 12 string electric accents that thought for us. Liked everything about it! Very nice, indeed!

Good to see you back Will!! Always enjoy your rockers. They are catchy, energetic, and fun. Really like the message of this one. Very nicely done!! Take care. Greg

Nice job.


I'm still trying to make my mind up about the banjo.

Thanks for the music,
Dan

A BIG +1

Everything about this is top notch all the way. You should be very proud of this one!

Cool tune. I hear influences in this like 'The Who', 'The Cars' or even 'The Knack' maybe.

The guitars are very well mixed and balanced. Good vocals. Nice job.
