Give Me Christmas By Jim Kenyon

Verse 1

.

[D] Christmas is ,[G] coming gotta [D]decorate my [G]tree

[D] Oh the stress of it [G] all,sure fights the [A] joy that it [D] brings

[D]Worrying what to buy [G]and how to [D] pay for it [G] all

I’m just [D]praying that [G] Jesus can [A] help with those [D] things

.

Verse 2

.

[D]I’ve got all of these [G] names on my [D] Christmas card [G] list

[D]Some I’ve lost [G]touch with, as the [A]years have rolled [D] by

[D]But you’re the one I’m [G]missing [D] each 'n every [G] day

though you’re [D] only a[G]thought away,I still [A] ask myself [G] why

.

Chorus

.

So [D] give me good [C]memories that [G] I can hold [D]on to

[D]send me some [C] wishes, that [G]make dreams come [D] true

[D]Please give me [C] Christmas, and [G] give me a [D] reason

[D]to believe there are [C] angels, that can [G]fly me to [D] you

.

Verse 3

.

[D]Change always [G]happens, ya’ know [D] time don't stand [G] still

[D] I think back in [G] time,when our [A] children were [D] small

[D] I still hear their [G] laughter, and see [D] smiles on their [G]faces

seems that [D] Christmas was the [G]best time that [A] I can re[D]call

.

Chorus

.

So [D] give me good [C]memories that [G] I can hold [D]on to

[D]send me some [C] wishes, that [G]make dreams come [D] true

[D]Please give me [C] Christmas, and [G] give me a [D] reason

[D]to believe there are [C] angels, that can [G]fly me to [D] you

.

Outgo – play last two lines, a little slower

.

Yeah, [D] give me good [C]memories that [G] I can hold [D]on to

[D]send me some [C] wishes, that [G]make dreams come [D] true

[D]Please give me [C] Christmas, and [G] give me a [D] reason

[D]to believe there are [C] angels, that can [G]fly me to [D] you

Thanks Graham
I love John Prine - one of the great writers.
I just made a couple small lyric changes and transposed the chords from E to D so it was easier for me to play and sing.
Thanks for the kind words Graham.

Looks Great Derek ! I agree with Graham - you looked very relaxed and content.
Was there supposed to be any sound ?

2022-12-04 20:48:19

Graham

music sounds good - looks like a fun party !

Watching it reminded me of the lyrics to the Brad Paisley song - Alcohol

And since the day I left Milwaukee
Lynchburg and Bordeaux, France
Been making the bars lots of big money
And helping white people dance
I got you in trouble in high school
But college, now that was a ball
You had some of the best times
You'll never remember with me
Alcohol, alcohol

Thanks for the share - Cheers to a Happy Holiday season !

Christmas Comes But Once A Year Jim Kenyon

Verse 1

[C]Christmas comes but [G]once a year

[Am]Angels singing for [Em] all to hear

To [F]celebrate the [C]birth of Christ

Re[F]membering his [G] sacrifice

Verse 2

[C]It’s much more than [G]what it seems

[Am]Heavenly thoughts and [Em] worldly dreams

It [F]reminds us of how[C] life begins

As [F]well as the love we [G] have within

Chorus

[C] Christmas comes but once a year

oh,[Em] look for that special star

[Am]Share your joys and all your love,

my [F]heart will always [C] be where you[G] are

[C]Oh, Christmas comes but once year

with [Em] joyous smiles and holiday cheer

[Am] remembering as church bells ring

the [F]lasting love of the [G]newborn [C]King

and the [F]hope for [G] peace that a New Year [C]brings

Verse 3

[C]So as we join with[G] family and friends

[Am]we think of those we [Em]won’t see again

and [F]know their light's still[C]shining on

their [F]spirit's still with us though[G] they are gone

Verse 4

[C]So as you gather round your [G]Christmas tree

[Am]Search your soul and [Em]make your peace

Oh [F]open your heart for the [C]world to see

And [F]share your love,let it [G] set you free

Chorus

[C] Christmas comes but once a year

oh,[Em] look for that special star

[Am]Share your joys and all your love,

my [F]heart will always [C] be where you[G] are

[C]Oh, Christmas comes but once year

with [Em] joyous smiles and holiday cheer

[Am] remembering as church bells ring

the [F]lasting love of the [G]newborn [C]king

and the [F]hope for [G] peace that a New Year [C]brings

oh, re[F]member the [G]love of the new born [C]King

and the [F]hope for [G] peace that a New Year [Cadd9]brings[C]

2022-11-21 23:06:50

Phill
That is wickedly awesome ! Love the ending - sounds like an organ or elec piano joining in - really gives it some push !
the music flows so easy and smooth - accented by your voice.
Love the photo as well, grandkids I assume ? Great recording Phill !

Jim

PS Nice job by your Wales National Futbol team - hanging in there to tie the USA. Well played.

2022-11-17 15:23:52

Took Phill's advice and made some changes to both chords and lyrics

This is the new version.

Walking On Water by Jim Kenyon

Verse 1

[G] when you smile at me, oh, the [F] rest of the world doesn’t [C]matter

and each [G] time you kiss me, I [F]hope it lasts a little [C]longer

and every[F]time we’re near, and every[C]thing we do, makes love [G]stronger

I tell ya’ [F] you always make me [C] feel like I can walk on [G]water

.

Chorus

.

Yeah [D] water, I walk on [C]water, I walk on [G]water, be [C]cause of [G]you

Yeah [D] water, I walk on [C]water, I walk on [G]water, when [C] I’m with [G]you

[F][C] [G][G]

.

Verse 2

.

[G] when I hear your voice, yeah, it [F] brings a smile to [C]my face

And when you [G] hold my hand my [F] heart begins [C]to race

And there’s[F] nothing in this world that [C] ever can take [G] your place

You know you [F]always make me [C]feellike I can walk on [G]water

.

Chorus

Yeah [D] water, I walk on [C]water, I walk on [G]water, be [C]cause of [G]you

Yeah [D] water, I walk on [C]water, I walk on [G]water, when [C] I’m with [G]you

[F][C] [G][G]

.Verse 3

.

[G] why does my soul feel so [F] free when I feel your [C]touch

how can [G]someone as wonderful as [F] you love me so[C]much

you know [F]you are everything that's [C]right in my [G]life

I tell ya’ [F] you always make me [C] feel like I can walk on [G]water

.

Chorus

.

Yeah [D] water, I walk on [C]water, I walk on [G]water, be [C]cause of [G]you

Yeah [D] water, I walk on [C]water, I walk on [G]water, when [C] I’m with [G]you

[F][C] [G][G]

.

Yeah [D] water, I walk on [C]water, I walk on [G]water, when [C] I’m with [G]you

Yeah [D] water, I walk on [C]water, I walk on [G]water, be [C]cause of [G]you

Yeah [D] water, I walk on [C]water, I walk on [G]water, when [C] I’m with [G]you

outgo- play last line slow

Yeah [D] water, I walk on [C]water, it’s your [G] love that[C] makes it [G]true

2022-11-12 22:16:19

A song I wrote for chordie SOTM

I think it probably needs a "just music" solo spot where the chords or something changes, but I am not that talented musically to figure that out.

I think Phill once told me to use a bridge - still haven't mastered that idea yet though !
I wrote it after my wife gave me a great good morning kiss and long hug yesterday- left me feeling pretty darn good
Let me know if you have any ideas that would make it better

Thanks
Jim

2022-11-12 12:45:20

Well here is a second entry for me...
hope to record it sometime this month
feel free to have a go at it if you want.
of course, it's very simple and basic musically, but the lyrics are pretty meaningful .

Brian
That's hysterical - great observation.
Jim

2022-11-07 11:50:05

Graham
I agree with Peatle - quite moving - strong lyrics. Really cool and seriously " on point" song !
Happens all over the world every day ! Well done Graham !
I also like the way the title leads you to mix her name and the common " Carol" songs @ Christmas - quite clever my friend!

Nicely performed - your voice in that shape is 100x better than mine at full
use.

Jim

2022-11-06 20:31:11

Beautiful song, beautifully done !! Way to go Jeff!!! Love that little interlude - reminded of how a cowboy would be singing it- sitting in his saddle - singing to the Beeves while looking to the sky !

Fantastic imagery from that song.

Well Done Jeff Thanks for sharing
Jim

2022-11-06 11:29:44

Jeff
being a cowboy wannabee, I am excited to hear this one as well.
Well written !
Jim

2022-11-06 11:25:53

Zurf
Well played !

Can only be topped if the new boat owner takes you out fishing during the day, at night you play guitar around the campfire and you all have drinks and food paid for by the seller who got the cash !

Ahhhh. the beauty of good friendships and music.

Congrats !
Jim

2022-10-31 15:17:36

Zurf

I checked this out.... pretty cool instrument.

https://youtu.be/6HdxHYX7Yes sounds very unique.

Did you use the rubber tube or the nickel wound srings ?

2022-10-30 11:54:10

Congrats Zurf

Here is my question- and keep in mind I have very limited musical instrument knowledge. Does it have 6 strings or 4?

And most importantly- is it easier to play bass than a 6 string guitar?
As far as joining the band- holy crap- I’d give a lot to just have that experience- join!!! Just because you can- and represent all of us who wish we could!

Again congrats-

Jim

This is the recording of the song I wrote for the SOTM for October.

I'm still cracking up over the fact that I could use the word electronic - thanks Richard (NEO) for that challenge !
I laugh every time I sing that line !

I hope you like it. I had a lot of fun writing it.
