Mark (ROTM) helmed the making of these jam/rock versions of this song......

The other performances are from the previous version which feature Frank Zax on guitar,

here we have Mark burning up the stage with great guitar playing and tone. Mark provided the excellent mix/masters as well.

Song For William (SmithC/AndyG)
Bpm=135

Willie doesn’t fit
A                                 Bm/A/Bm  (then gtr/bass note run F# A Bb B)
In with the general plan
Bm
Trapped there in a hole
        A                   Bm      A
He’s got no place to turn
G                            A                             F#m11/B
Willie’s point of view differs from yours or mine
G                               A                                 Bm/A/Bm   then gtr/bass note run F# A Bb B
Multi-coloured dreams while ours are black and white

Willie’s not to blame
For the things he says or does
Will he understand
He’ll never be one of us
Willie stands alone an island in the sea
Standing there all alone as lonely as can be

               D      A/C#
A little bit love
                          C        G
With a little bit of love
                          D      A/C#
With a little bit of love
                                   C         G
If we show him that we care            
                    
Show we care

Pre-solo: Bm/A/Bm then gtr/bass note run then Bm/A/Bm x2

SOLO : Same notes as intro riff, guitar solos over

Willie’s like a flower
Blooming in the wild
Steady in the garden
Are we the ones who’ve died
Willie’s cast away like a pebble in the sand
Show him empathy and a helping hand

A little bit love
With a little bit of love
With a little bit of love
If we show him that we care
Show we share

Pre-solo: Bm/A/Bm then gtr/bass note run then Bm/A/Bm x2
Outro:  Same notes as intro riff, guitar outro solos over

mixing in the synths was tough for me to find room for them in the mix.
glad you like it.
lets me know i'm on the right track.
was a lot of fun...both versions.
it's great having two killer drum tracks.
nice tune Andy.
thanks for bringing me along.
rock-n-roll ain't pretty --- that's why they picked us to play it.

Thanks Zax, I'm thrilled you liked the bass part! I thought would be nice to play off Mark's guitars.
