A cover of one Hit wonders Edison Light House from 1970. I always liked this song and it has been kicking around in my head for about a year for a cover and well perhaps I bit off more than I could chew and yes I need to use midi strings on a remix
Story behind the song
Tony Mcaulay and Barry Mason wrote this song and Tony Burrows sang the lead vocal and used a group of studio musicans called Edison Light House on of the many one hit wonders around. Tony Burrows also sang lead for the left Banke. Always liked this and was foolish enough to try a cover.
Lyrics
Love GROWS where my Rosemary Goes
A
She ain’t got no money
Her clothes are kinda funny
D
Her hair is kinda wild and free
A F#m D A
Oh, but love grows where my rosemary goes
D Bm E A
And nobody knows like me
A
She’s talks kinda lazy
And People say she’s crazy
D
And her life’s a mystery
A F#m D A
Oh, but love grows where my rosemary goes
D Bm E7 A
And nobody knows --- like me
D A
Something about her hand holding mine
Bm
It’s a feeling that’s fine
A
And I just gotta say – Hey!
D A
She’s really gotta magical spell
B7
And its working so well
E
And I can’t get away
A
I’m a lucky fella
And I just gotta tell her

That I love her endlessly
A F#m D A
because love grows where my rosemary goes

And nobody knows --- like me
