The Storm by Sophie, age 6

Here's another song by the very prolific (and colorful) songwriter, Sophie. This one even has instructions for how the guitar and voice should sound. It's a great example of how the music and the words of a song can work together. Low and loud for thunder, high for lightning, and falling when we run. Great work, Sophie!

The Storm

a song for the guitar

by Sophie

[sing and strum low notes:]

The thunder is coming,

the thunder is coming,

Oh, no, what should we do?

I know, hide!

[sing and strum high notes:]

The lightning is coming,

the lightning is coming,

Oh, no, what should we do?

I know, run!

[sing and strum loudly:]

The thunder is coming!

The lightning is coming!

Oh, no what should we do?

I know, just GO!

[finale: slide whole hand along all strings from neck to body of guitar!]
