What Can I Say ~V Brandi Carlile performance, track 2
on the ~SBrandi Carlile~T CD, written by her fellow
guitarist and backup vocalist Tim Hanseroth
A beautiful tune ~V can sound a little churchy or
gospel like if played to sincerely. Please note I have
scripted three separate bridges since she omits the Bm
resolve in the first bridge and repeats the whole
bridge (with both Bm and D resolutions) twice at the
end of the tune. One may also fine it easier to go
from the bar chord Bm to a bar chord G, rather than to
a standard open G (with or w/o B string D), when
transitioning from verse to bridge or within a bridge.
This is of course my own transcription of the tune,
BoB Mulkern.
