One of the first tunes I heard from Holger..way back when!
This ended up cool with Holger's distinctive vocals, great guitars and solo trades between Frank and George. Tony put in a nice drums part.
Special thanks to the Wizard Zax for contributing so much to this song, including wonderful backing vocals. Bertha would approve!
And we made this in time for Halloween...bwah hah hah hah....
Vampire Love (The ballad of Holger) bpm=78
E/A/A/E
(verse1)
E A
It gets dark when I wake up
A E
I’m a child of the night
E A
When the other people are half past dead
A E
I go crazy I go wild
E/A/A/E
(verse2)
E A
Do you sense I’m a little different
A E
Does that attract you to me
E D
Come with me to find what lies within
A E
It’s the only way to be
(Chorus)
E D
You can’t grow old when your blood runs cold
A E
Let me show you the way
E D
Once you learn the ways of the charmed
A E
The rewards are so great
D A
You don’t know - just how it feels
E
To-never-run out of time
D A
You have a choice
E
You can be mine
-Solo- E/A/A/E x 4 D/A/E
E/A/E
(verse3)
E A
It gets dark when I wake up
A E
I’m a child of the night
E A
When the other people are half past dead
A E
I go crazy I go wild
(verse4)
E A
So when I knock on your window
A E
Come on and let me in
E A
We could share a life sublime
A E
Belonging to the night
(Chorus)
You can’t grow old when your blood runs cold
Are you wondering what’s at stake
Once you learn the ways of the damned
The rewards are so great
You don’t know - just how it feels
To never run out of time
You have a choice
You can be mine
Solo -2 E/A/E and D/A/E
D A E
You have a choice/you can be mine
