Sunny Days 03:36
Sunny Days Lyrics and Composition by Heather Inwood-Montrose October 2008 Am C G Am C G Am Sunny day I should be feeling light C G But I’m not I’m looking for a good fight Am Opposition’s thinking small they just don’t challenge me C G Step it up, cuz I am thinking globally Am Politicians tell us what they think we wanna hear C G They gotta knack for circle talking based on fear Am Special interest groups are taking up the airwaves C G Dm Rhetoric just destroys what they wanna save Dm Am Where is all the unity? Dm Am We never get a chance to just be Dm Am G Human evolution ruled by economy Dm G Am C G Just don’t feel right, no it don’t feel, don’t feel right to me Am C G Don’t feel right to me Global warming is going to take us under Water literally we have made a blunder Child poverty, famine and human rights Atrocities, please we gotta fight Those with greasy pockets instigating conflict That list grows longer and god it makes me so sick Speaking of in whose name so much is justified Inquisition look first to those who lie Where is all the unity? We never get a chance to just be Human evolution ruled by economy Just don’t feel right, no it don’t feel, don’t feel right to me Don’t feel right to me Where is all the unity? We never get a chance to just be Human evolution ruled by empathy Now that feels right, that feels, that feels right to me That feels right to me Sunny day I should be feeling light But I’m not I’m looking for a good fight Looking for a good fight

Garden Deer 05:30
GARDEN DEER Heather Inwood-Montrose (July 2004) C B F C Everyday the faces are changing thought the faces keep reflecting an image of myself C B F And sometimes all these faces seem stunned by the impression of the fortress that’s myself C C B F Still the people and places keep changing I wanna say I stay the same F but I mean really who am I kidding C C C foundations may be solid but the walls are crumbling and shaking C and I keep changing B F C the people and the places and the faces and the race is with myself it’s with myself C B F C And I wish I could stop shining this terrifying blinding floodlight from myself C B F Cuz I’m feelin like a driver with a deer caught in my headlights that I will probably take out C C B F But the last thing that I want is for these walls to always stand though I fear their C C destruction and the strength I can unleash upon this land C B F But I believe that I’m a healer though I’m not sure to what end F C Is encouraging broader thought considered mend C B F C Everyday the faces keep changing and the faces keep reflecting an image of myself C B F C And sometimes all these faces so shocked by introspection remind me of myself C B F Still I keep on rearranging and I’m always trying to grow F C C It’s I who constructed the walls and it’s I who must tear them down I know C B F Cuz I’d rather share my garden with faces all aglow F C C And sow the seeds of a future I know time will only show C B F In my garden I will grow with the people that I know F C CBFCBF fade out Time can only show

Mantra – Written & Composed by Heather Inwood-Montrose March 2006 Standard Tuning A, D repeated throughout Oh thin disguise; make up your eyes Don’t let’em catch you out this way We’re gonna, we’re gonna cloak ourselves today Don’t let’em see who you are, what you think, what you know where you gonna go I say no no Don’t let’em see who you are, what you think, what you know where you gonna go I say just go Oh falsified, it’s you who lies You’ll never catch me out again Making up my mind mind made up mind made I’m going in You’ll never see who I am, what I think, what I know where I’m gonna go I say no no You don’t deserve who I am, what I think, what I know where I’m gonna go I’m just gonna go, just so you know Cuz when you treat people like they are less than you know that they are They will just push you past pushin pushin past Oh oh oh oh oh oh You’ll never see who they are, what they think where they go Broadening their horizons they’ll just go Such a shame.

Miss You 04:04
Miss You Lyrics and Composition by Heather Inwood-Montrose June 2008 Picking C, G, F Life these days goes by so fast and I’m Closing doors on all my past And the friends who once stood by me nowhere to be seen How we swore we’d never change The bonds that tied time couldn’t erase But they’ve slipped somehow, we’re gone now Sometimes I miss you Sometimes I miss you I used to think I could not go On without being in the know Or included in activities silly me What I have learned as I have lived Is you get back just what you give and I’ve given Oh how I’ve given But I’m getting by, I’m moving on Oh my old friend it’s been so long and I’m better off Yes I’m better off But sometimes I miss you Sometimes I miss you I can’t forget those who’ve shaped me Especially the ones whose impact has made me become more Than I was through those old doors But sometimes I miss you Sometimes I miss you

Just A Little Written and Composed by: Heather Inwood-Montrose August 2007 A, D, E, C# Hmmmmmmm So I’m Tryin to make it a little clearer Not sure I want you falling for me But I want you nearer Yeah you gotta little draw there for me Wait - Ok clearer Maybe just a little stumble won’t hurt If it gets you nearer Gotta put a bit of time in here, first Hmmmmmmmm On our own for a while now People tend to get stuck in their way These strengths can serve us Also make for some lonely days Once bitten twice shy We’ve all been there and wary it makes us But I think that What’s goin on is gonna shake us YEAH IT’S GONNA SHAKE US CHORUS So I’m Tryin to make it a little clearer Not sure I want you falling for me But I want you nearer Yeah you gotta little draw there for me Wait - Ok clearer Maybe just a little stumble won’t hurt If it gets you nearer Gotta put a bit of time in here, first I gotta know you first Hardened maybe, jaded sure But open minded is our cure I know the scariest place to be Is to expose our – vulnerability ….

Average Eccentric Written and Composed by: Heather Inwood – Montrose November 2004 Standard tuning Tab Sky is grey, it’s raining and I’m driving; think I’m acting neurotic today I wanted to stop, for a coffee and some food But I had specifics in mind following my gut So I took an exit, random and reckless; liking the feel of the unknown Til I hit a border I wasn’t ready to cross Stopped all the traffic, laughing and crying; cuz I had to turn around But of course they wouldn’t let me go without demanding proof of self and I think CHORUS A C G D Where will you file me? In some box? A C G D Labeled average eccentric, suspect unable to cross A C G D Is that how you define me? Like I’m lost? A C G D But there’s an average eccentric suspected in each of us. Watching the tree tops as I go, like a thousand hands reaching The simple timeless dance between earth and sky Rooted to the spot, and grasping at the air There’s something symbolic eluding me there Following the St. Lawrence, as for centuries we’ve done I can feel the rivers presence, just beyond my door Water’s ever reaching, what a refreshing thought; washed clean Renewed, every time the wind blows and I think CHORUS A C And I’m morphing again, my energies are growing G D Like a tidal wave gathering speed as it goes and I’m A C Watching it come, wild eyed and waiting G D And bracing myself for the force of its blow and I say A C Go ahead and file me, call it like you see it G D Just try and define me and tell me I’m lost but there’s an A C G D A C G D Average eccentric suspected in each of us ohhhh A C And I’m okay G D I’m okay, I’m okay I’m okay I’m okay A C G G I’m okay with the average eccentric in each of us

Riptide – Written & Composed by Heather Inwood-Montrose August 2005 Standard Tuning D E D E Your love is like a carrot dangled D E D E Or a chocolate denied D E D E The sense of anticipation that carries D E D E Like an echo an echo oh D A D A Your love is like the riptide D A D A It lulls, and lulls and then D E D E Sucks you in D E D E Leaving you breathless, and floundering and floundering oh CHORUS F A I’m drawn in by your promises your promises of D E Possibility F A D E I should have known by now what seems clear never is F A I know you care, but that a double edged sword you wield so D E D A Carelessly F A It’s just a nick, but enough of them enough of them will D E D E D E D E Scar So riptide what distant shore are you tossing me up on, up on Will there be Just enough of that, sweet stuff To keep me Coming back for more and more and more First in are my toes then Fast up to my nose and Tingling scalp, cool head I’m drowing set me free Oh let me be CHORUS First in are my toes then Fast up to my nose and Set me free

Company Property – Written & Composed by Heather Inwood-Montrose November 2005 Standard Tuning Dm, Am, Bb6, C, D, G All I wanted was to be seen the same But the lack of package between my legs Betrayed me, betrayed me to the game So I had to find my own way to play CHORUS Eyes up, eyes up Look at me when you speak to me Hands off, hands off I am not Company property so Back off I said, back off I don’t Wanna have to say this twice so Step up and play nice Play nice Just existing sometimes segregates To earn respect you gotta operate at A hundred and fifty percent of everyone elses pace These small hands they do amazing things Maybe platform boots would help to get them looking In my face CHORUS Eyes up, eyes up Look at me when you speak to me Hands off, hands off I am not Company property so Back off I said, back off I don’t Wanna have to say this twice so Step up and play nice INTERLUDE I am not your eye candy I am here because I deserve to be Hands off back off I’m on a roll here So don’t get in my way And you’d best not get up in my face so CHORUS Eyes up, eyes up Look at me when you speak to me Hands off, hands off I am not Company property so Back off I said, back off I don’t Wanna have to say this twice so Step up and play nice Play nice Sugar and spice and Everything nice and - Play nice.
