Jim Salinger - Watch The Sunrise (Big Star Cover)

Heard that Andy Hummel of Big Star died today. Since I broke both my arms on the very day we heard the news of Alex Chilton's death 4 months ago I never had a chance to do a tribute song. So I picked this sunny song to play for you. I never played this tune before, or even tuned my 12-string to an open G like this, so it's a little raw. But that's the way I like it.

:::: WATCH THE SUNRISE - BIG STAR ::::

I can feel it, now it's time
Open your eyes

Fears be gone, it won't be long
There's a light in the sky

It's okay to look outside
The day it will abide
And watch the sunrise

Sun, it shines on all of us
We are one in it's hand

Come inside and light my room
like the heart of every man

It's okay to look outside
The day it will abide
And watch the sunrise

I can feel it, now it's time
Open your eyes

Fears be gone, it won't be long
There's a light in the sky

It's okay to look outside
Your love it will abide
And watch the sunrise
