Richard,

those fires are amazingly destructive and difficult to contain.

I am so glad you and your family are safe.

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 !

It reminds me of the time my brother held me down and pulled one of my baby teeth

I was screaming and he says - DON'T WORRY YOU GOT MORE.

you can't - I've tried - guitar hits side rails all the time.
I ended up putting a small sofa on my porch instead.

I am hoping to hear this soon.

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.

Thanks for giving it a listen !

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!
