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

Jim

Wrote it for the SOTM - but thought I'd post here as well

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

Verse 3

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


Spent [C]my time hoping things could be the [G] way it used to be


[G]torn apart by a broken heart, a pain that can make you cry


Then [D] I hear her voice saying once again, [C]give love another [G] try


.

LOL 

the only one in this forum that has no ability at all scored 15 for 15 ! 
I also wear hearing aids

I would trade my score for a 10% gift of the talent
of the people on chordie.

All of you are the bomb, I can't even come close to what you do.
Pretty cool though Peatle

That was fun !

This is the song I wrote for SOTM
finally had a moment to record it.
My singing and playing leave a lot to be desired, but at least you'll get the idea of how it sounds in my head.

I've many a day when I have felt the same way.
Just want to relax and not think about anything. 
I liked how you threw in those little harmonic slides between notes.
Nice song Peatle!

This is a re-post from songwriting  - try to get a recording here sometime this week.

I qualify bc I used the word " do"   smile

I wrote this over coffee this morning.  One of my friends is having marital problems, and this just popped into words as I was having coffee.

Most likely not perfect - but here it is

Darling, I Keep Hoping That I'm Wrong By Jim Kenyon


[Am] My eyes are so tired, yet I can't sleep at night.


my [E] mind starts racing, when I [Am]turn out the light.


[Am] oh this room is so dark, but I can clearly see,


that [E] you're not coming back, to [Am] be here with me?


.




Chorus


.




[Dm] you said that we’d always [Am] be together


and I [Dm] gave you all my [Am] heart


[Dm]you promised me that you’d [Am]never leave


But [E] Darling , ya’ know we’re falling a [Am] part


.


Verse 2


.




[Am]Remember the good times, oh, the memories we share


But [E]now it feels like you [Am]don’t even care


[Am] I’m sure “never hurt you baby”, were the words you said


But [E]now my heart’s aching, and I’m [Am]feeling ‘bout half past dead


.




Chorus


.




[Dm]should’ve known this was [Am] coming


the [Dm] writing was on the [Am] wall


[Dm]guess it was happening [Am] all along



But [E] Darling, I keep hoping that I’m [Am] wrong


.


Verse 3


.




[Am] So what do we do now, where do we go from here


the [E] look in your eyes betrays you, and mine [Am] are filled with tears


[Am] can my heart trust you, will your love be true ?


I [E] don’t know the answer but I [Am] know, I still love you


.




Chorus


.




[Dm] don't know where this is [Am] gonna fall


I[Dm] don't have any answers at [Am] all


[Dm] don’t know if you'll be [Am] gone forever.


But [E] Darling, forgetting you will be [Am] never.




Chorus  ( repeated)

Well here is a quick version of my song close your eyes.

Hope it sounds good enough to give an idea how it is supposed to sound.
it always sounds so much better in my head than when I actually play and sing it.

let me know what you think, please.

Jim

Jeff,
as I listened to this my mind took me to being a cowboy watching his herd in the mid 1800's out on the plains. 
You played and sang it wonderfully !

Thanks for sharing it.
