If I  see  my friend  Pam Johnson ( a local  C/W singer )   this  week  end   is  it  ok    to  show  her  this  song  ,I  suspect  she  would  really  do  it  justice.

So here is a country song I wrote.

“Ghost Town Heart” By  Jim Kenyon


Verse 1:


[G]Lit like neon on Main Street,we [C ]were burning in the rain


[Em7] our reckless hearts dancin' [D] like a runaway train


[G] but windows are shattered [C]where love used to stay


[Em7]and tumbleweeds are rollin’ [D]through our yesterday


.




Chorus:


[C]My heart feels like a ghost town, [G]so empty and dry


[D]Boarded-up dreams where [C]we used to [G] lie


[C]The bars are all closed up[G] the jukebox don’t play


[D]silence and shadows at the [C]end of the [G]day


[C]Where laughter once echoed, [G] there ain't any sounds


'cept the [D] cold wind whisperin' through [C] this ol' ghost[G] town


.


Verse 2:


[G]church bells used to ring out, now [C] no one even cares


[Em7] train station's quiet, it’s just [D]rust and broken stairs


[G] lonely, empty streets - all the [C] lights have burned out


[Em7] ain't no voices, no laughter [D] only fear and doubt




.


Chorus:


[C]My heart feels like a ghost town, [G]so empty and dry


[D]Boarded-up dreams where [C]we used to [G] lie


[C]The bars are all closed up[G] the jukebox don’t play


[D]silence and shadows at the [C]end of the [G]day


[C]Where laughter once echoed, [G] there ain't any sounds



'cept the [D] cold wind whisperin' through [C] this ol' ghost[G] town


,




Verse 3


[G]lives built on hopes and dreams now[C] lost on forgotten roads


[Em7]Don’t know how it slipped away [D]into the great unknown


[G]still drive through now and then, [C]there's no love found anywhere


[Em7] just heartbreak and memories [D]that haunt the midnight air


.


Chorus:


[C]My heart feels like a ghost town, [G]so empty and dry


[D]Boarded-up dreams where [C]we used to [G] lie


[C]The bars are all closed up[G] the jukebox don’t play


[D]silence and shadows at the [C]end of the [G]day


[C]Where laughter once echoed, [G] there ain't any sounds


'cept the [D] cold wind whisperin' through [C] this ol' ghost[G] town


.


outgo


.


[C] Yeah, my heart's now a ghost town, [G]stuck in the past


and [D] I’m just a drifter , chasing [C]love that couldn't [G]last


.


play slower


.


yeah,[D] I’m just a drifter , chasing [C]love that couldn't [G]last


Arpeggio on the last G
