You Are The Everything


An obvious choice now that I have a mandolin. Aside from the riff at the end of the chorus (which is a little tricky for a beginner) this is a really easy song to play on mandolin, just four chords.
Not meaning to speak badly of Mr Buck but in the process of covering this song I’ve come to the opinion that this is a real “Ive just bought a mandolin and this is the first song I’ve written on it” type of song. It really is so sparse, but really quite beautiful. It has a lively bass part that doesn’t really follow the chords of the song at all, the mandolin and of course the accordian. The middle 8 features the only percussion in the entire song and some one finger piano work.
