Neat little song. 
Thought the music was well played.  Song fits your voice nicely.
I think you tended to rush a couple of lines just a little bit though - but
you sing and play so much better than I can so what do I know smile ?

Nice job!
Keep'em coming

Jim     

Wow -That is amazing and clever !  Well Done and welcome to chordie

Holy Cow Mojo !!!

That is an incredible song.
Get it on the radio or something - If Luke Byran wrote it and sang it it would be on the charts immediately !

The Lyrics, the melody, the performance, and your unique voice made this a pleasure to listen too.

Thanks for sharing.

Can you post the lyrics and Chords ?

Jim     

Mojo
That's great - gives you time to lean these songs:

Peatle

I liked that a lot - thought he was excellent.

I have been away a week on vacation  with my family - one of the best weeks of my life.
So much fun having all my kids and grandkids together in one place with my wife and I.
Topsail Island, NC  - it is a paradise for sure


Thanks for posting this Peatle !
Here is a link to Guy Clark - keeping with the " roll" theme ! smile

Graham- I wish I could sing and play like you or Phill - I  would play every venue I could.

It looks like so much fun - even though I have seen a lot of idiots giving live music a bunch uncalled for crap.

Enjoy the ride man, I'm just a wannabee spectator!

Jim     

That's very interesting Peatle - never heard that before about the proposal and refusal - can't say I truly believe it.

Good stuff though - nice singer.

Thanks for posting

Cheers

Jim     

Graham
YES !!

That song was actually in my head as I was writing it.

It will be cool to hear your version.

Thanks!!     

Nice one Brian, guitar is excellent.   I like the flow of the rhythm - your voice is perfect for this song.
  Well Done.

Jim     

Thank you  Neo and Peatle

Kind of a budddy Holly song in my head

Brian and Peatle
Both are too funny.
My wife spends so much time on her phone - it is annoying.

I agree with Brian !     

A little rock n' roll here  - I used all the words from the SOTM Challenge.
I'm not totally sold on the chords - any suggestions would be appreciated.
Maybe one of the accomplished musicians on here will give it a whirl

also, for some reason it won't let me use just a B - so I made it B7 and it let that work. Beats heck out of me why.

That Girl, She Makes Me Crazy by Jim Kenyon


Verse 1


.




[D]I have just about everything [A] I need or want


And[D] what I’m lacking, is just a [A]someday away


I’ve [D]got a picture perfect moment [A] in my mind


[B7] Sunset at Malibu, drinking [E7] high priced wine


.


Verse 2


.




[D]I’ve followed my heart trying to [A] reach the sky


yeah,[D] I’ve punched my ticket to a [A] thousand places


no [D]matter how I’ve wandered or [A]where I’ve roamed


[B7] I’ve found out those roads just[E7] lead me back home




.




chorus


.


Well [D]it’s those memories I have of that girl


[A] ain’t no way to get her off of my mind


ya know [D]she can turn a spark to a ragin’ fire


oh, [B7]she makes me crazy, flood my [E7]heart with desire




.


Verse 3


.



[D]I wish I could walk on water, to[A] impress that girl


I need [D] to show her I’m as cool as[A] winter wind


I’ve[D] gone to my knees and asked the [A]heavens above


What [B7] else can I do to win that [E7]woman’s love


.




chorus


.




Well [D]it’s those memories I have of that girl


[A]There ain’t no way to get her off of my mind

Cool Peatle.

It is amazing the different perspectives that people have in how to spend their lives. They beauty of it sometimes - sometimes rather poor choices though.
I always thought being a farmer would be a great lifestyle  but for so many it is so hard and unforgiving.  My friend has been dumping his milk because the price is so low it cost him more to ship it than what he would receive as check. so sad after watching him work so hard.

- Thanks for sharing.
