Liner Notes

Given the title, I thought it was time to revive the #keef hashtag - which meant learning the song again, but to be fair it sounds better.

If you don't know, #keef tuning is (blank)GDGBD like a banjo, and no I didn't take the low E off, I tuned it to D and tried not to play it, like a normal person.

Lyrics

v1
I read the news today
To see what's wrong and right
In a world of grey
It's there in black and white
But it's too much
I know that I should fight
But I just turn to the obituary page

Ch
Another one gone
Read the obituary
Outlived by Keith Richards
Dick van Dyke and God
Sang a last song
Paid for the ferry
See the last picture
Someone you'd forgot

v2
When you're our age
You can't turn the page
On your diary
Without one of those days
Border black
A heart and a name
You look back
Yesterday was the same

Ch
Another one gone
Read the obituary
Outlived by Keith Richards
Dick van Dyke and God
Sang a last song
Paid for the ferry
See the last picture
Someone you'd forgot

bridge
So long Marianne
Rick from the Jam
Denis Law, finger in the air
So long Sam Moore, the soul man
Look up and the pictures are still there

v3
If you know me
You'll know who I'm talking about
And if you don't
Then you can work it out
But it's not about me, anyway
Sometimes we're just counting the days

Great tribute to those past and the irony in the case of #Keef. Loved the title and the concept.

Clever and fun concept that is becoming more noticeable day by day, very fun an energetic performance. It's also an endearing tribute to those we've lost from our musical universe.
