Hysterically funny !

That's gotta be a hit on stage around Chritmas !

You have shown a different angle to your talent for sure.

Thanks for sharing

Song I wrote in response to a post in SOTM

Hope you like it...... and I hope it's good enough that someone with musical talent (which I sorely lack ) could
give it a go.

Thanks in advance

Jim


Shine on Christmas By Jim Kenyon


Verse 1


.


[C] When Jesus was born that evening, so many years ago


The [F] angels were not singing to make a [C]holiday you know


[F]Peace on Earth and good will to all, oh, they [C]knew he was the one


Let [G]Christmas always be about the birth of [F]God's only [C]son




Verse 2


.


[C]King of Kings, Lord of Lords,a servant to the lost and poor


He [F]is the light and the way, he’s the [C]path through heaven’s door


[F]Forgiveness and redemption, are there for [C] all who believe


So [G]sing Hallelujah, for the birth of Christ, he's the [F]Prince of [C]Peace


.


Chorus


.


[F]So shine on Christmas, let us hear angels [C]voices fill the air


Like [F] wind that you can’t see, know [C]that Jesus is there


[F]shine on, shine on so brightly, oh [C] Christmas, shine so bright


And [G] remind us of the birth of Jesus, on that [F]holy December [C] night



.


Verse 3


3




[C]May the Spirit of Christmas fill your heart with peace and joy


May [F]the mystery of believing, find the home of [C]every girl and boy


[F]May the power of the Holy Spirit bring a [C]smile to your face


And [G] may faith, love, and hope, bring you an [F] everlasting [C] grace


.


Chorus


.


[F]So shine on Christmas, let us hear angels [C]voices fill the air


Like [F] wind that you can’t see, know [C]that Jesus is there


[F]shine on, shine on so brightly, oh [C] Christmas, shine so bright


And [G] remind us of the birth of Jesus, on that [F]holy December [C] night




And [G] remind us of the birth of Jesus, on that [F]holy December [C] night


And [G] remind us of the birth of Jesus, on that [F]holy December [C] night


And [G] remind us of the birth of Jesus, on that [F]holy December [C] night

Easybeat

for me it isn't  -   I just figured it included Christmas and all the days leading up to it and the New Year following.

There is only one reason for the season !

I saw this on X (twitter)

I don't know if it's real -  but if it is it is some incredible guitar playing.

Jeff
Thank you for those kind words.

Phill

Thank you also - I tried to make that song leave a little mystery as to who the woman is he is referring to.

I wish I had as much musical talent as you have in your left pinkey - its 50x more than i now have.  smile


It's frustrating to be able to write, but not sing or play well enough to do justice to the  lyrics.

Oh well, I enjoyed the writing part enough to keep on keeping on !


Thanks again

Her Voice Again by Jim Kenyon


.


Verse 1


.




[G]I went down to the river, I was feeling kinda down


I [C] couldn’t find no friends, there was, [G]no one around


[G]tried to think of something happy, but [C]nothing came to mind


Then [D] I thought I heard a familiar voice,[C] coming from be[G]hind


.


Verse 2




[G]That voice was and still is, my favorite sound to hear


Sounds [C]just like an angel, whispering [G] softly in my ear


[G]But when I turned to see her face, [C] ya’ know she wasn’t there


So I [D] closed my eyes and saw her, with[C] flowers in her[G] hair




.




Chorus


.




She was saying…


[C]Always remember the sunshine, it will [G]greet you every day



[C]keep a song in your heart, it’ll [G]keep your troubles away


[C]know that through love, you can do [G]anything you try


So [D] take a leap of faith, and don’t let[C] life pass you[G] by




.


Verse 3


[G] The river kept on rollin’, like the years since she’s been gone


The [C]memories come flooding back, as the [G] water rolls along


[G]I watched the water shimmering, like the [C]sparkle in her eyes


but [D ]then her voice begins to whisper, a [C] soft and sweet [G]goodbye






.


chorus


.




She was saying…


[C]Always remember the sunshine, it will [G]greet you every day


[C]keep a song in your heart, it’ll [G]keep your troubles away


[C]know that through love, you can do [G]anything you try


So [D] take a leap of faith, and don’t let[C] life pass you [G] by

[G]I was close to bein’ broke, but thought I was just bein' free
