Be Still - The Fray - cover sung by Babs

I found "Babs" on YouTube recently when watching different versions of Songbird.
Then I found this song...

It was written by Isaac Slade (The Fray vocalist) as a lullaby for his little brother and comes off their album, Scars & Stories released in February 2012.

Be Still – The Fray – chords and lyrics

Sung by “Babs”

Intro: G  D  Am Em C

      G         D             Am        Em

Be still and know that I'm with you

      G         D             C     G

Be still and know that I am here

      G         D             Am        Em

Be still and know that I'm with you

      G         D          G

Be still, be still, and know

           G           D        Am    Em

When darkness comes upon you

        G        D           C           G

And covers you with fear and shame

      G         D             Am        Em

Be still and know that I'm with you

       G       D          G

And I will say your name

    C               Em

If terror falls upon your bed

        G                      D

And sleep no longer comes

     G          D       Am        Em

Remember all the words I said

      G         D         G

Be still, be still, and know

                G         D              Am Em

And when you go through the valley

              G         D                 C           G

And the shadow comes down from the hill

    G         D       Am         Em

If morning never comes to be

      G         D        G

Be still, be still, be still

    C                  Em

If you forget the way to go

        G                             D

And lose where you came from

    G           D              Am   Em

If no one is standing beside you

      G         D         G

Be still and know I am

      G         D             Am       Em

Be still and know that I'm with you

      G         D         G

Be still and know I am

Songbird - chords and lyrics

Assuming your guitar is tuned in correctly - you can press play and strum (or pluck) along to this.
Originally written by Christine McVie and performed by Fleetwood Mac, here is Songbird - sung by Hayley Westenra - off her Greatest Hits cd.
At the end of the chords and lyrics, I've added Eva Cassidy's version if you'd like a comparison.
Enjoy...

  Like never before     like never before


and here is Eva Cassidy's version...



For another version that has that 'something' special in it's simplicity, you can't miss out viewing Bab's cover of Songbird. I wish I could play it like she does...
And check out that wood grain on her guitar!
