Jim. I've never been to Madrid but you describe it in a romantic and passionate way. If I ever go there and its not I'll be very disappointed, joke.
You've come up with a romantic and gripping story with a happy ending. Can't wait for the recording.

TIGLJK, that Rock n Roll song wasn't a failure at all, I thought it was well written.

well since the rock n roll song I wrote was epically a failure... I went back to this song ( which I really like) and made a few changes as follows.

I'm hopeful of recording it soon.

Madrid (in the whispers of love) by Jim Kenyon

Verse 1

[Em]she said “come to me baby, as fast you can

I [D] need some lovin’, need to hold my man

So I [Em] flew to Madrid in the dead of the night

as[D] velvet darkness [C] turned to morning [Em]light

Verse 2

[Em]a journey to memories left behind

In [D] the city of passion and Rioja wine

I [Em] came through the clouds towards the Spanish sun

to [D]bring hearts back to [C] where they had [Em] begun

Chorus

[Am] walking the streets of Madrid, where lovers roam

We [Em]talked about the future, and going home

a[Am]long the way, we’ll find ourselves again

In the [B7]whispers of love, [Am] hoping our hearts will [Em]mend

short guitar piece)

[Em] [D] [C][Em]

Verse 3

[Em]when she loves, she loves, when she cries she cries

she [D] left me in L.A., never said good bye

she [Em] headed for Madrid, to follow her dreams

but it [D] stole her passion and [C] broke her heart it [Em] seems

Chorus

[Am] walking the streets of Madrid, where lovers roam

We [Em]talked about the future, and going home

a[Am]long the way, we’ll find ourselves again

In the [B7]whispers of love, [Am] walking hand in [Em] hand

outgo: Slower )

a[Am]long the way, we’ll find ourselves again

In the [B7]whispers of love, [Am] hoping our hearts will [Em]mend

a [Am]long the way, we’ll find ourselves again

(real slow)

In the [B7]whispers of love, but so [Am] hard to know [Em] when

Beautiful song Jim. I'll have a listen later but like most of your songs, I usually hear them in my mind just by reading the words. I have been to Barcelona but never to Madrid. Maybe one day.

Thanks TIGLJK, I have been renovating here presently so haven't had much time to record anything or even get my ukulele or guitar out. I hope too soon thought

Jan
Thanks for the kind words.
My only regret is that I can't sing like you and the others on here.
I think it is a good song, but I will probably butcher it in recording it.
(But I will give it a go anyway)

So good to hear from you - maybe you could put up a song also - we all love to listen to that great voice !

I like it. Tried playing it and failed but it was fun. Been here since '08 and never thought to visit the forum until today and I'm glad I did.

Peatle and Phill

Muchas gracias !!

I hope to get a recording up soon.
Phill - I never thought of doing that - reading bottom up - very cool way to look at a song- thanks for letting me know about that.

Thanks again my friends!

A great song and a great story. I read it through twice then read it from bottom to top where I better understood the story. As it happened a good way to understand a song. Again one of your best.

Gracias, Jim as they say in Spain está bien song about a Lady and a place in the world by you . A young friend of mine has been living in Madrid since 2018 teaching Salsa with other Spanish influenced dance styles and also English language. He loves living there. I think your song captures some of that romantic tension that can be associated with the Spanish streets where so many young lovers roam. Though in your song its more of a reunion of two lovers who had been separated for a while.

Well since nobody is doing much on chordie these days... I thought I'd take a shot at writing a song.

Why did I write it about Madrid ? IDk - but I plan on going there in the next 16 months ! (on my Bucket List!)

So here it is....
