This song is dedicated to George Harrison, expressing my appreciation for his music./nLYRICS:
Yeah I was just a kid in a surfer band
The first time I ever heard
I Wanna Hold Your Hand
I had to buy the record that day
It was something we just had to play /nThen I heard She Was Just 17
And the lead guitar
was sounding sharp and clean
I’ve been showered with your gifts
in the form of countless riffs
George, I know this is way overdue
But for all you’ve given me, thank you /nLike an astronaut walking on the Moon
I swear I was floating on air
when I played those tunes
Strumming notes through a big sound hole
Singing songs from Rubber Soul/nWe heard you were the quiet one in the band
The dark horse, I understand
When you played, your guitar cried
and took us to the other side
You showed what a poor boy could do
And for all you’ve given me, thank you/nYou were the brother I never met
A friend of a friend I never will forget
When you played All Things Must Pass
I heard wisdom for the working class/nYou sang about the truth
And it got me through the troubles of my youth
But the greatest gift was Who
you introduced me to:
The Lord of All that be; and I’ll say repeatedly
Thank you, thank you, thank you/nwords & music: Michael Cassidy
