Biography:
“There's a song in there somewhere," sings Dave Gunning optimistically on his seventh album We're All Leaving, but the Pictou County, Nova Scotia performer is being far too modest.
Scoring three 2010 East Coast Music Award Nominations for Songwriter, Male Solo Recording and FACTOR Recording of the Year, and recently named as a Finalist in the Great American Song Contest and International Songwriting Competition for his song, Before The Morning Sun (co-written by James Keelaghan), Gunning is on the move.

Dave Gunning - The Weight Of My Guitar
CAPO: 5th Fret
INTRO: C G Am G C G Am
G C
Picked up my guitar
G Am
I passed it to the kid
G C
He said he found it heavy
G Am
I hadn't thought about it
G
He must have struck a chord
C F
Somewhere in the back of my mind
G F G
Maybe from another time
C
But, knew when I was young
G Am
And set out along the road
G C
The songs came fast
G Am
But the rhymes were all wrong
G
The colour of it darkened
C F
Before my eyes
G
There's another world fell inside
CHORUS:
Am C
Broken strings left behind
Am C
From stories where I stood
G
Like wishes from a falling star
Am C
And it cracked from those aches
Am C
That I drove into the wood
G
You'd never guess it from afar
F
The weight of my_ guitar
INTERLUDE: C G Am G C G Am
G C
Ghosts from the past
G Am
Are hiding in there
G C
Skeletons from closets
G Am
In need of repair
G
Best kept secrets
C F
Whispered in a bar
G
Under the bridge of my guitar
C
Don't tell, she said
G Am
Unless you do
G C
In a song that makes me
G Am
A little less blue
G
I'm a sucker for a punch-line
C F
And that's no joke
G
And I watched her go
CHORUS:
Am C
Broken strings left behind
Am C
From stories where I stood
G
Like wishes from a falling star
Am C
And it cracked from those aches
Am C
That I drove into the wood
G
You'd never guess it from afar
F G
The weight of my_ guitar
BRIDGE:
F G
Somewhere there's a heart
F C
It's heavy as I turn
Am G
I can feel it getting lighter
F C
With the beat of every stroke
G
You'd never guess it from afar
F
The weight of my_ guitar
OUTRO: (## repeat and fade to end ##)
