Done for SOTM - but thought I'd post it here as well as the other post eventually will be closed.

My playing and singing aren't good, had a couple screw ups,  but thought it was a pretty cool song.

Prince Edward Island by Jim Kenyon


Verse 1


.




[Em]I’ve never been to Prince Edward Island


but I [Am] hear it’s pretty there in the [Em]fall


my [Em]love left for there about a month ago


and I’m still [B7]waiting here for [Am] her to [Em]call




.Verse 2


.




[Em]she’s like the North Atlantic at Prince Edward Island


With its [Am] cold tide that ebbs and [Em]flows


So [Em] beautiful, yet can chill your heart


Just like that [B7]North Point rain that [Am]comes and [Em]goes




.


Chorus


.


Oh ya’ know [Am]heartache with time will go away


At least [Em] that’s what all the poet’s say


But I’m still [Am] hoping to get one more dance


maybe [B7]one more kiss, and [Am]one more [Em] chance


.


Verse 3



.




[Em ] I wonder some nights, if she thinks of me


Ya’ know [Am]Prince Edward seems so far a[Em]way


never [Em] said goodbye, as she went out my door


just like the [B7] rain that’s [Am] gone from yester[Em]day




.




Chorus


.




Oh ya’ know [Am]Heartache with time will go away


At least [Em] that’s what all the poet’s say


But I’m still [Am]hoping to get one more dance


maybe [B7]one more kiss, an [Am]one more [Em] chance


.


.


.




[B7]one more kiss, and [Am]one more [Em] chance


Oh [B7]one more kiss, and just [Am]one more [Em] chance

Thanks my friend !  That was really cool.  I liked it a lot though it is way different that what my version is.
(Mostly because you are actually a musician and I have basically no musical ability smile )

Thanks Jan - I wrote it a while ago, but this weekend, my best friends son (who is the lead guitarist for Maddy & Tae) stayed with us and he was telling me that when the played on Prince Edward Island the night before he managed to get some free time - and went in the North Atlantic for a swim - he told me it was really cold.   It inspired me to make a few changes to the lyrics. smile   

Thanks again Zurf - loved it.

I wrote this song a while ago ( I think Phill inspired it somehow - I forget  smile    - spent today totally changing it to a blues song.
got four of the words - Rain, Goodbye, Love, Door
hoping someone (maybe Graham ?) could give this a shot -
I will probably post a version later this week - I am heading out for few days.

The Door  (Mama’s song) by Jim Kenyon


originally for a SOTM entry 


A song about how my mom inspired all 10 of her children after our Dad was killed in an accident.




.






Verse 1


[G]She carried the weight of the[C] world upon her [G]shoulders


Though I don’t recall that I [C] ever saw her[G] cry


Oh she[C] had a way to make the broken look [G]beautiful


oh she could [D] lift your spirits right [C]up into the[G] sky




.






Chorus


She’d say it’s [C]funny that neither side of a [G]door


can [C]know just what’s waiting on the other [G] side


but a [C]door can make what was, into what will [G]be


so [D]child, step out in the [C] world and take that [G]ride


.




yeah...


she’d say [C] leave your burdens and fears all behind [G] you


and [C] have the courage to walk right out that [G] door


ya' need to [C] spread your wings and learn how to [G] fly


and let [D] love take you where you’ve[C] never gone be[G]fore





.




. Verse 2


[G] well ya’ know our family never [C]had the best of [G]anything


but we made the best of [C] everything that we [G]could


through the [C]rain and the pains, somehow she kept us [G]dreaming


that we could[D] be anything , she [C] always made us feel so [G]good


.






Chorus


She’d say it’s [C]funny that neither side of a [G]door


can [C]know just what’s waiting on the other [G] side


but a [C]door can make what was, into what will [G]be

Jan  Fabulous !!    I loved your voice when you dropped down for "Darling" !   I still think your vice is golden and I also still think you should try it with an acoustic guitar - maybe you could get Peatle or Brian to play for you if you don't feel comfortable.  You have what I have always said is the difference between average and great voices - uniqueness. Thanks for sharing this !

It was called chordiestock - I never went but it looked like so much fun. 
There are many threads and photos somewhere on here about it.  I think Mekidsmom, baldguydude, uncle joe and a bunch of others hosted some. Pretty sure Zurf went to a few.

It would be great to have one again.

I agree with everyone - I think it may be your best one.
The title " Blank Page" would be so mysterious and an attraction magnet in MHO !
It is a hook unto itself - it could mean a million things - and make a person want to find out.

I am in complete agreement with Phill - it is one of those songs that you go  - Darn - wish I had thought of that and been the one that wrote it !  smile
Well done my friend - can't wait to hear it.

LOL Peatle,

That's the only thing I thought was the Gin
I had pictured a Gin Bloody Mary with celery, and Olives.
Well done, my cryptic muse !

That sounds awesome. 
You have such a unique voice and just a bit of an accent ( at least to me) that enhance it greatly.
Beautifully done.

OK  as I said earlier - this song was a work in progress

I went through this morning and made quite a few changes. 
I changed chords and lyrics - I think it is much better and the music " fits better".

Let me know what you think - thanks

Trevor,
Thanks - retirement is good - getting used to it .
It actually is still a work in progress.  - not where I feel it is complete yet - lots of tweaking to go.  Usually wait til guys/ girls on here that actually know something about music smile give me their feedback.

Jandle  - Thanks Jan - I need to write a happy one soon ! smile
                   also - thanks for bringing back SOM !!
Jeff - Thanks for the kind words.

Excellent song and excellent rendition.

I could not help but think of the Christmas song -

John McCutcheon: Christmas in the trenches (1984)

here is the singer explaining it  and singing 

John McCutcheon: Christmas in the trenches (1984)


Great Message Trevor - if only the world  could be so kind

Thanks for your song !
