Thanks Lena and Roger . I thought it was a good song idea too and it was really laid out there for me in the fortune. I just needed to turn it into a song.

In October, some of you may remember that my family and I went to Japan. One of the places we visited was the Asakusa Shrine(http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e3004.html). One of the tourist type things people do there is buy these little fortunes which I bought and ended up getting what was called a regular fortune. If you get a bad one you can tie it to a tree and the fortune goes away but if you get a good one then you keep it. Regular ones I guess you can give it back too but I kept mine because my life has been regular and fortunate with no big windfalls or tragedies just a regular life that I’m happy to say suits me just fine. Sorry to make it so long but it was a story so I had to finish it. Hope you all like it.

Number 47 – A Regular Fortune By Jeff Gilpin


January 7th, 2008


Intro


[Em]




Verse 1


[Amaj7]In an ancient temple


[Cmaj7]Visiting an ancient land


[Amaj7]I purchased my fortune


[Cmaj7]From this ancient stand


[D]Number 47


[Amaj7]Regular Fortune it said


I [Cmaj7]Didn’t understand it


In English on the back I [A]read




It said your [D]fortune is not special


It’s [A]plain and ordinary


But [D]just because it’s plain


Doesn’t mean it’s [Em]scary[Amaj7]




Verse 2


[Amaj7]Though you may want it now


Like [Cmaj7]waiting for a holiday


[Amaj7]Wait try and be patient


It will [Cmaj7]come with a slight delay


Like [D]hiking through the mountains


[Amaj7]It takes work and time


But the [Cmaj7]journey and destination


Makes it well worth the [A]climb




Your [D]fortune is not special


There [A]are no short cuts here


[D]Hard work, patience


And good people to help [Em]steer [Amaj7]



Verse 3


The [Amaj7]request you most desire


Will be [Cmaj7]recovered later on



Like the [Amaj7]moral of a fairy tale


The final [Cmaj7]chorus of a song


[D]You’ll find what you have lost


And [Amaj7]you will find it soon


It’s [Cmaj7]where you last remember


Tucked away in your [A]room




Your [D]fortune is not special


Neither [A]is it one to dread


Your life [D]will be long and happy


Smoothing sailing [Em]ahead [Amaj7]




Verse 4


A [Amaj7]new home might be worthwhile


Or [Cmaj7]tear an old one down


It’s [Amaj7]good to take a trip


[Cmaj7]To some far off town


Don’t [D]worry about your marriage


Or your [Amaj7]place of employment


[Cmaj7]Better to live your life


Savor every mo[A]ment




Your [D]fortune is not special


Not [A]special is still just fine


No [D]worries for tomorrow


Enjoy this gift of [Em]time [Amaj7]




So I [D]thought about my fortune


The [A]one I had just read


It [D]made me stop and wonder


Then had to [Em]catch up with my family up on a[Amaj7]head

Hey Reb -I was playing around with this but all I could get so far was this

[Em]I found a [Am]man with his head in his [Em]hands
Who wore a dead [Am]heart on his [C]sleeve [D]

What do you think?

Thanks for all the comments.

Hey Reb - For the FMaj7 try this: xx3210.  I suck at the barred F chord (well I suck at most barred chords for that matter) so I use this cheater method. It has a similiar sound and is too difficult for me to play (easy transition from a C) so feel free to use it if you like. It works for most songs with an F and has a quite pleasent sound I think.

Hey Paul - I need to get up to speed on the whole video side of computers. I will give it a go sometime but recording takes an awful long time as it is. I'll switch to video some day I guess but not any time soon.

I sometimes have a problem with thinking one thing and when I go to say what I’m thinking I mess it up. This song is about that and how doing things will get your point across as good or better than saying them in the long run.

Actions Don’t Lie By Jeff Gilpin


January 4th, 2008



Verse 1


A [C]slip of the tongue


A [G]simple mistake


The [FMaj7]best of intentions


Are [C]hard to unmake [G]




Verse 2


[C]A pilot error


To the [G]lips from the head


Can [FMaj7]mix up the meaning


Make you [C]wish you were dead [G]




[FMaj7]Words may fall short


But [C]actions won’t lie


What[G]ever the reasons


Or [C]how hard you try [C7]


[FMaj7]Words don’t always convince


[C]Maybe you shouldn’t even [FMaj7]try


[C]Just remember [G]


Action don’t [FMaj7]lie[C]




Verse 3


[C]Some are quite gifted


With an [G]eloquent tongue


While [FMaj7]others are better


At [C]getting things done [G]




Verse 4


So [C]if words escape you


At the [G]end of the day


[FMaj7]Convey your message


In a [C]more active way[G]




[FMaj7]Words may fall short


But [C]actions won’t lie



What[G]ever the reasons


Or [C]how hard you try [C7]


[FMaj7]Words don’t always convince


[C]Maybe you shouldn’t even [FMaj7]try


[C]Just remember [G]


Action don’t [FMaj7]lie[C]




Verse 5


[C]Saying I’m sorry


[G]Saying you care


Is [FMaj7]not quite the same


As [C]just being there [G]




Verse 6


Do [C]someone a favor


[G]Fix what’s not right


They’ll [FMaj7]eventually get it


And [C]may see the light [G]




[FMaj7]Words may fall short


But [C]actions won’t lie


What[G]ever the reasons


Or [C]how hard you try [C7]


[FMaj7]Words don’t always convince


[C]Maybe you shouldn’t even [FMaj7]try


[C]Just remember [G]


Action don’t [FMaj7]lie[C]

Writers who inspire me are ones who can write a song that I can see in my head when I play. One favorite of mine if Jackson Browne; his songs For a Dancer, Looking into You and Fountain of Sorrow, all three I can see in my head when I listen. I still get misty eyed listening to the words "...'Cause I know that you'd  rather we were dancing"

Thanks James and Toney - On the first and third line I go from a C to a C7 but I thought it might be a little too busy to include for the forum. It does give the song a nicer sound I think if you want to give it a try.

Toney - the C7/Fmaj7 along with Dm7/Am7 chord mix sounded good to me and the words seemed to fit

This is just a little song about the woman whose eyes to this day still leave me speechless. I hope you all like it.

Those Eyes By Jeff Gilpin


January 2nd, 2008




Intro


[Dm7]




Verse 1


What [C]she means to me isn’t easy to see


Except when I look in her [FMaj7]eyes [Fadd9] [FMaj7]


Oh [C]I may complain when she drives me insane


But just one look from those [FMaj7]eyes [Fadd9] [FMaj7]




And I’m [Dm7]lost


I’m out of [Am7]control


[Dm7]Lost


To the depths of my [Am7]soul


Oh the [Dm7]cost


I would pay a kings [Am7]ransom


To be [Bb]lost forever


In [B]the [C]seas of those [Dm7]eyes




Verse 2


[C]Don’t get me wrong our life’s not a song


We still have our ups and our [FMaj7]downs [Fadd9] [FMaj7]


[C]Yet I can say that at least for today


I’ve managed to keep her [FMaj7]around [Fadd9] [FMaj7]




[Dm7]Together


We survive it [Am7]all



[Dm7]With her


My life is not [Am7]small


[Dm7]With me


She has but to [Am7]ask


With [Bb]one look


From [B]the [C]depths of those [Dm7]eyes




Verse 3


[C]The years have gone by and yet I still try


To steal every glance I can [FMaj7]get [Fadd9] [FMaj7]


I [C]know she’s aware though I can’t help but stare


At those eyes I will never [FMaj7]forget[Fadd9] [FMaj7]



She [Dm7]smiles


When she catches my [Am7]eyes


She [Dm7]laughs


It’s no big sur[Am7]prise


And she’s [Dm7]got me


Through the end of my [Am7]days


I see she [Bb]knows


In the [B]love I [C]see in her [Dm7]eyes

This is just a song about change and how it seems needed changes get lost or overlooked sometimes due to petty politics. I just wish there were more folks in power throughout the world who would try to make the world a better place. Maybe one day they can succeed. Anyway I hope you all like the song.

Tomorrow By Jeff Gilpin


January 1st, 2008




Intro


[C] [F7] [C] [G]




Verse 1


[C]Mmm… Some people [F7]say


[C]Don’t worry so much about to[F7]day


[C]Not much you can do any [F7]way


Just keep [G]going and look the other [F7]way


And worry about [C]tomorrow[F7] [C] [G]




Verse 2


[C]Mmm…I don’t [F7]know


[C]Maybe worry isn’t the right [F7]word


[C]It’s better to say I get dis[F7]turbed


But keep [G]it in so it goes un[F7]heard


Might get fixed [C]tomorrow[F7] [C] [G]




By those i[F7]maginary people


The [C]ones who right the wrongs


The [F7]ones who fight the good fight


While [C]we the working throngs


[Em]Suppress our worries about [F7]today [G] [F7]


And worry about [C]tomorrow [F7] [C] [G]




Verse 3


[C]Mmm…I wonder [F7]why


[C]Some folks go into [F7]politics


[C]The ones who get things [F7]fixed


And the [G]ones stirring the [F7]mix


For a better [C]tomorrow[F7] [C] [G]




Verse 4


[C]Mmm… Most of [F7]us


[C]Too busy trying to make ends [F7]meet


[C]No time to hang with the social [F7]elite


No af[G]fairs so dis[F7]crete


Just trying to make it ‘til [C]tomorrow[F7] [C] [G]





Not the [F7]privileged few


With the [C]time or inclination


Who’ve [F7]never had to worry


About their [C]children’s education


No [Em]worries to speak of [F7]today[G] [F7]


Or for that matter [C]tomorrow[F7] [C] [G]




Verse 5


[C]Mmm…What can be [F7]done


[C]To somehow let it be [F7]known


[C]The worries the rest of us [F7]own


When [G]they won’t pick up the [F7]phone


For a better [C]tomorrow[F7] [C] [G]




Verse 6


[C]Mmm… Over [F7]time


[C]If we keep telling those we [F7]trust


[C]And if the banks don’t all go [F7]bust


One day they’ll [G]listen, surely they [F7]must


In time to fix [C]tomorrow[F7] [C] [G]




I [F7]hope there will be time


And that our [C]future can be repaired


Set a[F7]side our petty bickering


And let a [C]truce be declared


[Em]We can let that be the [F7]day [G] [F7]


We ensure we have [C]tomorrows[F7] [G] [C]

Growing up in the western part of North Carolina, my family would often take trips to Georgia for one reason or another and I developed a fondness for that great state. So here is that fondness expressed in this song and I hope you all like it and get a chance to visit as well.

From the [G]Chattahoochee River


To [E]Savannah on the coast


Where [A]good people at good places


[B7]Have a right to boast

Well, Billy Joel's song is a bit darker than mine I must say. I've kind of focused on the solders' reasons for being over there and their side of this war without dwelling on the political reasons why the solders are there. I think I might have treaded a darker path if I had mixed the whole political side into the song. I really worry about our kids who are over there and who take the monetary reenlistment incentives that are being offered and end up serving multiple tours in a place that is not very safe. It's kind of like a high stake gamble.

Hey Lena - Actually I have heard the story behind this song and there was a movie made about it called "Joyeux Noël" back in 2005 that I saw and did a pretty good job capturing the moment (thanks to Netflix for letting me find it). Being a bit of a crazed football fan I often search out movies with football and I guess both the Carol and later a football match happend during this battle in the war.  I recommend this if you ever get the chance to see it. It is a good story for people who like to think about the human side of war, like me. I would love to hear you sing this if you would like to post it on your site I would be forever in your debt (no pressure though as I think I owe you a song or twenty myself). Thanks and have a Merry Christmas.

Christmas in the Desert By Jeff Gilpin


December 22nd, 2007






[G]Christmas in the [D]Desert


[Em]No white Christmas far from [C]home


Just [G]solders keeping [D]company


[C]Wondering how they’ve [D]come to [G]roam [D]


[G]Seems just the [D]other day


[Em]They were working that 9 to [C]5


[G]Weren’t making much of a [D]living


[C]But e[D]nough to [G]survive [D]


[Em]You see they're going to do their [C]own thing


And they're [D]going to try and make it on their [Em]own


They [Em]signed up for a just [C]few years


Where they’ll be [D]learning away from home


Now they're [G]working and [D]waiting


[Em]Helping this land that’s in [C]need


[G]Trying to prop their people [D]up


[C]Trying to [D]help them to [G]succeed [D]


[G]They'll be keeping [D]track of


The [Em]time as it goes [C]by


As [G]they learn their occu[D]pation


So that [C]one day they [D]give it a [G]try [D]



Because they're [Em]going to do their [C]own thing


[D]They're going to make it on their [Em]own


They [Em]only have a [C]few years left


Then [D]they’ll be heading back home


I [G]hope that they’ll be [D]ready


[Em]When that time comes a[C]round


To [G]jump in and get [D]going


Making [C]real money back in [D]their home [G]town [D]


But if [G]they don’t think they're [D]ready


There’s [Em]always signing away a few [C]more


They [G]have time till that de[D]cision


So [C]who knows [D]what's in [G]store [D]


[Em]They can go do their [C]own thing


[D]They can try to make it on their [Em]own


Or [Em]they can decide in a [C]few years


When [D]they'll be heading back home


[G]But today it’s [D]Christmas


In the [Em]land where duty [C]calls


And the [G]solders are cele[D]brating


So Merry [C]Christmas to [D]one and [C]all [D] [G]

Hey you Guys - Thanks - I feel the same. Sometimes I want to play sad music because I'm sad other times I want to play it because I'm happy and just like the tune....Bell Bottom Blues is a great example of both...Working Class Hero is another song I like to play no matter what mood I'm in. Now Emotional Music is not a sad song but I kind of play it like a bluegrass tune and a little upbeat. Yep, Roger, it's a good finger picking song too and it makes me wish I could play the banjo.  smile
