about
In memory of Gregory E. Murphy (12-9-59 to 5-4-2013) Wrote this song right after hearing about the sudden unexpected death of my good friend Greg Murphy. We used to have a lot of fun playing music together. He was just starting to get back into music again and was interested in joining Kompoz.com to start collaborating. He was a very good lead guitar player.

Guitars in Heaven
Words & Music by Brent L. Godfrey © 2013
I used to play with Greg in a four piece band
Traveled up and down this land
Every night you could hear him sing
And bend the hell out of his guitar strings
They may not have beer in heaven
That may be true
But they’ve gotta have some Fender Mustang guitars
No guitars in heaven would be too cruel
Well, he left behind a wife and son
A lot of friends, I’m glad I was one
Every night I still hear him sing
Remember how he bent those guitar strings?
When that reaper calls me
And it’s my time to go
Don’t want to hear a chorus of harps
I want a guitar solo to call me home
Maybe we’ll play together again some day
Way beyond the milky way
Every night you’ll hear us sing
With him bending the hell out of his guitar strings
Yes, I hope we’ll play again some day
Way beyond the milky way
Every night you’ll hear us sing
Shaking up heaven with those guitar strings.
