          Shadow Over Me  by Paul Smith




About the song:
Sometimes you can really get down and depressed and just being with
a certain
someone is the only remedy for a brighter day.  In "Shadow Over Me" 
that 'certain someone' is the one that no longer wants you, though your feelings for 
her haven't changed.  

Shadow Over Me
   by Paul Smith  copyright 2005
    6 string capo 2nd fret

Introduction;  Like the fist verse
G     Am      D       D7     G  

G
There’s a shadow hanging over me.
                                                  Am
From which I may never be set free.
                                                D
I don’t seem to care much anymore.
D7                                               G
    So I come a knocking at your door
.

You still have a heavy hold on me.
Though we'll never be what we should be.
I never was much one for keeping score.
But that’s not what I’m here looking for.

No I’m standing here with my hat held in my hand.
Sure as I can be you’ll understand.
It’s been a long rough rocky road so far.
But now I feel we both know who we are.

So please come sit with me awhile.
Perhaps we could walk a country mile.
Just as long as I can be with you.
That would help me sort this whole thing through.

CHORUS; 

C                                                  G
        There’s no telling how I’ve ended up this way.
D                          D7            G       Am7 Gsus4 G    D  Em
        sure hard to figure, but   this much I’ll    say.
Em                                                        Am                     a b 
        That when I’m with you all those cares melt away.
   C                       D              C                        G     G7   G
        It’s like your bringing a bright sunshiny day.

(Bridge)

Still this shadows been hanging over me.
From which I may never be set free.
I don’t seem to care much anymore.
So I come a knocking at your door.

So please come sit with me awhile.
Or perhaps we could walk that country mile.
Just as long as I can be with you.
That would help me sort this whole thing through.

CHORUS;
C                                                  G
        There’s no telling how I’ve ended up this way.
D                          D7            G       Am7 Gsus4 G    D  Em
        sure hard to figure, but   this much I’ll    say.
Em                                                        Am                     a b 
        That when I’m with you all those cares melt away.
   C                       D              C                        G     G7   G
        It’s like your bringing a bright sunshiny day.

                    C                   G                      G
It’s like your bringing....... a bright shiny day.
