about

In keeping with the 'Abandoned Songs...' concept, this song was written by Bob during a phase he calls 'The Displaced Years' in the mid-to-late 1970's. Finally the song has been pulled off the shelf and given it's due.

lyrics

Any Old Strum Will Do (Bryden)

Play it now guitar man
Play it now for real
Know that you are the star man
You show us how to feel
Oh - we’re lost in our worry

Play it loud and draw people near
Attract a crowd so all may hear
Let it each chord dispel some fear
Let each note ring so clear
Oh we’re lost in a hurry

And when we want to feel happy
Because we’re feeling so blue
That’s when we call on guitar man
And any old strum will do
Any old strum will do.

You hold the secret of real wealth
You usher in a season of health
You take hard edges and shape them round
You save our souls with your heavenly sound.

Guitar, guitar man! Guitar, guitar man!
