If you are using the chords I gave you then start very simply, 2 down strums where the is a 2 against the chord and 4 for all the other chords. When you get familiar with it then you can put in some up strokes and/or double strumming to make it more interesting.

Tommydone, there is a problem with the e.mail address you have shown on Chordie. I had tried to send you a backing track to help you with the timing and strumming but the 'Mailer-Daemon' states it has given up trying to deliver it.

Here are some chords that are easy and will fit to your lyrics. All chords shown are four beats unless marked with 2 for two beats. (Ignore the chords shown a C2 and G2 play a normal C and G)

I hope this helps (if not bin it )

those I can handle I just cant fit a strumming pattern in with the words

Maybe you can try using D, A, and G chords with your lyrics above. These are pretty easy chords to play, and there are many songs written that use these. What do you think? Play with the chords and see where they fit best for you. Good luck.

I wrote a song for my girlfriend,lyrics really ,but no music. Her birthday is on Halloween and I would love to surprise her by singing it for her. I am a beginner guitar player so no (F) OR (B) chords. here are the lyrics and I am open to any and all suggestions. Keep in mind that although I have been married Denise has made me feel loved for the first time in my life. here is a picture of her and I.

If I lost you
the sun would never come up over my horizon
if i lost you
the rains would have no end
if I lost you
the days would just flow into one another
if I lost you
the skies would all go dim

your love is like air
it gives my body life
but it's more than an emotion
without it I will die

my sweet Denise
don't you know that it's you I need
so lucky to have you
your love is like a planted seed
and it's taken it's root in me

if I lost you
there would be no colors just black and white
if I lost you
the seasons would never change
if I lost you
I would grow old alone in my mirror
if I lost you
nothing would be the same

your love is like air
it gives my body life
but its more than an emotion
without it I would die

my sweet Denise
don't you know that it's you I need
so lucky to have you
your love is like a planted seed
and it's taken it's root in me
