A Song for (Slude) [Ukulele Original]

Song written for Jenne Sluder (http://www.jennesluder.com/), an awesome musician-ecopsychologist and an even better friend (hardly possible, but she pulls it off). An example of one of her amazing songs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4kQ2s4XD2g&

1) I am in my family cottage in Maine, where my brother, mother and uncle are working on the roof (hence hammering and random noises!). I wanted to get at least one version of this done for The Sludinator before I fall prey to the cold my mother and brother already have.

2) Meet Weeki! Barry (http://www.youtube.com/user/MrBarryMusic) Deached me with her in 2010 but university consumed my life (om nom nom Kiwis life) to a ridiculous degree and I didn't get to make any videos with her. But now I have! Thank you, Barry! And hello, YouTube! Sorry for being away for so long!

3) This is my attempt at non-perfectionism. Hence "take 1" instead of "take 1234".

[4) This is totally not a good angle for me. Lesson learned. :Þ]

A song for you,
A song for you,
Oh, let me a sing for you.
I can't sing long;
I sing all wrong;
But let me sing a song for you--
Provide for now what you can't do,
I'm here to sing a song for you.

The stars were kind and let us meet;
With gracious smiles we stood to greet.
But do you have your new tattoo--
Does "fuck" adorn the neck on you?
A shake of head but I can tell
You recognise you knew me well.

A song for you,
A song for you,
Oh, let me a sing for you.
I can't sing long;
I sing all wrong;
But let me sing a song for you--
Provide for now what you can't do,
I'm here to sing a song for you.

I frown to hear your voice is going;
I feel for you and cry for knowing
The pain of one's persona leaving--
The pain of loss and pain of grieving.
If ever I was given choice
I'd give my own to save your voice.

A song for you,
A song for you,
Oh, let me a sing for you.
I can't sing long;
I sing all wrong;
But let me sing a song for you--
Provide for now what you can't do,
I'm here to sing a song for you.

Asthma, mould or atmosphere--
I wish it gone that I might hear
Your blackbird song sung proud and loud:
Proud and loud as we hold dear.

[Whistles]

A song for you,
A song for you,
Here I sing a song for you.
I can't sing long;
I sing all wrong;
But here I sing a song for you--
Provide for now what you can't do
I'm here to sing a song for you.
Here I sing a song for you;
I'm here to sing...a song...for you.
