I wrote this poem....
would like to make it into a blues style song.... but can't figure out the music yet

I put a couple of chords in here - if i'm not allowed to - just let me know and i'll remove them

Just about a guy that looks into the mirror and....well you'll see

hope you like it

The Other Side

[Em]Tonight I was confronted by a [Am]message  from the other[Em] side
[Em]It said it knew my troubles, and [Am] every reason why  I’ve ever  [Em]cried
[Am]Said it knew the pain that I was hiding, be[Em]neath  my crooked   smile
[B7And ]all  the lost and  lonely feelings, that [Am]haunt me all the [Em]while

[Em]The other side knows the truth,  and [Am] deep secrets never [Em[ told
[Em]It remembers loveless  times with [Am] emotions turned stone [Em] cold
[Am]It knows fears  in my head,  that [Em]sometimes  scream with  rage
[B7]As I cry out for love to  escape from  this [Am] steel like empty [Em] cage

Chorus
[Am]Oh this message from my reflection, as I [Em] look into the mirror
[Am]mired in lyric, yet  between the lines [Em]it becomes much  clearer
[Am]hidden within my inner self, its [Em]always  been my  sweetest lie
[B7]always been my heart’s true passion baby , to [Am]love you or to[Em] die

[Em]The other side sees my demons and [Am] all of the dreams I [Em] chase
[Em]It knows my fears , it knows my hopes  and [Am] the reality I must [Em]face
[Am]And hears the voice inside of me, when I[Em] softly say your name
[B7]When I whisper that I love you,  and wonder if [Am] you still feel the [Em] same

Hi Chordians !!

Jim and Rachel Cristaldi of Nashville did covers of a couple of my songs.

Merry Christmas to all my Chordie friends.

Ha hahaha

I said in another post this morning that since the weather is so crappy it'd be a good day to stay in and write a song. 
10 minutes later I'm writing one - got sucked into my my own delusion !

Anyway - here is a little cute one that popped in my head.  Hope you like it.

[Song]
{T: That ‘Ol   Guitar }

[G]Sometimes life can get you down
And [C9] turn your  whole world upside down
And [G]everything around you just goes [D]wrong
[G]When melancholy days set in
And [C9] you can’t seem to  find a friend
Just [G]grab your ol’  gui[D]tar and write a  [G]a song

Chorus
[G]Oh find your groove on every fret
[C]Move it up and down that neck
[G]Tap your foot to find that perfect [D]beat
Oh [G]hit that baseline with your thumb,
[C] Pick those strings and make ‘em hum
[G]Find those perfect [D]chords that sound  so[G]sweet

[G]Seems that days slip by so fast
And [C9] nothing good seems to last
it’s [G]hard to keep a  smile upon your [D]face
[G]well don’t you worry, have no fears
with[C9]cowboy chords  and a couple  beers
that [G] ol’ guitar will [D]be your saving [G]grace

Chorus 2x
except in second time through the chorus to end it .....
[G]Find those perfect [D]chords that sound  so[G]sweet
[G]Find those perfect [D]chords that [C]sound  so[G]sweet
slow it down......
[G]Find those perfect [D]chords that [C] sound  so[G]sweet
