Ok here is my version of the song I wrote for this month.

https://soundcloud.com/tigljk/painting- … al_sharing

it's a cute song if you can get past my bad singing

2023-01-04 15:42:58

Ok ... so keeping up with my tradition of using all the words in a song - here is a little diddy I wrote this morning.
hard to describe how i played it.....kinda of a root note pick and then strum the chord
probably the hardest song yet to have to use 'em all !

and we got Phill playing lead
while Graham sings the blues

theres gotta be a song in here somewhere !

I couldn't resist !

2022-12-25 16:08:39

If you look at it again.. i made changes to lyrics ( I just can't help myself)
and changed it to the Key D - easier to play and fits my vocal a little better.
Thanks for giving it a look.

well, it's a bitter cold ( -24 wind chill currently with drifting snow) one here in upstate New York as well ,sipping Crown Royal in front of the fire and wishing all my Chordie friends a very Merry Christmas (Happy Hanukkah) and a Happy, Healthy, and Prosperous New Year as well.

Thank you to all of you who serve as moderators or do special things for us.
Also hopeful best wishes to all of the former Chordie members who have been a part
of this great platform in the past. Wishing that everyone who can, will rejoin us, even if just to say hello.

Happy Holidays
Jim

Zurf

I played this video of that song in my Social Studies classes for years - what a remarkable story by the singer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5on4WK1MpA
and I can tell you that almost without fail, there were tears flowing from students as well.
I look forward to your version !

Jim

2022-12-20 12:24:44

Thanks Jan

I think it's a real pretty Christmas song. I would like someone that can actually play and sing to give it a go.

Merry Christmas
Thank you for your kind words !

Had some time today and reflected a bit about Christmas and about those people who can't be with someone they love.

Christmas: Home is where my heart is By Jim Kenyon

Verse 1

.

[D]I love the Christmas season, and the ex[A]citement of it all

I'm re [G] minded of what I’m thankful for, and the [D] friends I need to call

[G]Christmas is the season that we [D]share with family

and de[A]spite all the madness,it's still [G]wonderful to [D]me.

.

Verse 2

.

[D]Christmas doesn’t need all those [A]fancy store bought things

The real [G]gift of the season, is the [D] love that Christmas brings

full of [G] many precious memories and [D]stories told just right

but you're [A]on my mind and in my heart, and I'm [G] missing you to [D]night

.

Chorus

.

[G]It’s a chance to be thankful for the[D] blessings we receive

It re[G]minds us of the reasons, that [D]help us to believe

so I’m [G]wishing you a Christmas, filled with[D] memories and love.

O-Oh[A]Home is where my heart is, you’re the [G]one I’m thinking [D] of

.

Verse 3

.

[D]On Christmas, lovely Christmas, may all your [A] dreams come true

may you [G] find joy and laughter, it’s what I[D] wish and pray for you

but what[G] I want the most this Christmas, isn't [D] underneath the tree

it's the [A]magic of Christmas, that can [G] bring you home to [D] me.

Chorus

.

[G]It’s a chance to be thankful for the[D] blessings we receive

It re[G]minds us of the reasons, that [D]help us to believe

so I’m [G]wishing you a Christmas, filled with[D] memories and love.

O-Oh[A]Home is where my heart is, you’re the [G]one I’m thinking [D] of

.

[A]Home is where my heart is, you’re the [G]one I’m thinking [D] of

yeah, [A]Home is where my heart is, you’re the [G]one I’m thinking [D] of

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

2022-12-08 05:32:41

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.

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