Phill
I liked your recording a lot!!!! It might be a little to happy ( I don't know if that's the right word to describe it) for me, but holy cow can you ever sing and play !!
If I could play like that and sing like that I would be ecstatic!!
Thanks so much ! You should put it out there for the rest of chordie to hear. ( Or I can do it for you !)
When I send it to my friends I will send your version along with my version (which is pretty bad).
At least they have the country style female voice (and she is good) 
Hope it comes out good either way they do it.
Jim
Phill Thank you so much for taking your time to do this.
I really appreciate it. It makes me feel special to know you took time away from being with Anne and your family to do this kind act for me. Thanks again !

I'm actually getting close to where I really like this song.
A few more practice days and I might learn the words. ( it would be easier if I would quit changing them ! )
I won't record it bc it is a duet. I may ask my friend and his wife to record it - they are pretty good. I just have to convince them it is a decent song.

Re: Re-write It's love that we lose ( duet version) (14 replies, posted in Songwriting)
I further edited this duet changed a few words and chords.
But sorry Phill - I only made a minor change in that line
It is definitely written as a country song and I think it fits.
Maybe our Texas friend Mojo can give some input as to that line.
Thanks for checking it out .

It's Love That You Lose By Jim Kenyon
verse 1
.
( Man )
[D]Sitting by the [C]campfire, and my [G]guitar weeps so [D] sad
[D]As I dream of the[C] soft look that [G]her eyes once[D] had
[D] start singing 'bout a [C]love poem, that I [G]once knew by[D] heart
[D]but the meanings gone [C] missing, since [G] we’ve been a[D]part
verse 2
.
(Woman )
[D]I recall every [C] memory and I [G] still call out your[D] name
[D] you know my lonesome [C]heart just won’t [G]ever be the [D]same
[D]should’ve left love to[C] someone, who could [G]lose their wandering [D]boots
[D] someone to hold [C]every night and [G] put down some deeper [D]roots
.
Chorus
.
Ya’ know [C]someday we‘ll get to[G]gether, talk of [C]what we gave a [G]way (Woman)
and how[C] much that we [G]loved each other and [D]why we couldn't stay (Man )
Oh we [C]might talk ‘bout de[G]cisions we made, and that [C] fate was ours to [G]choose (together)
And the [C] cost of chasing [G] different dreams is the[D] love [C]that we [G] lose (together)
verse 3
.
[D] Oh those heartstrings and [C]feelings, they're so[G] hard to for[D]get (Man)
[D] the love we had is the [C] one thing that we [G]never could re[D]gret (Woman)
[D]It could have been so [C] different, but it [G] seems we’ll never [D]know(together)
[D]oh we should’ve known [C] better, than to [G]ever let love [D]go( together)
.
Chorus

Thanks - I may give that a try as well.
As you know, I'm not much of a musician so most of the stuff I write is pretty basic.
If you happen to record it - I would love it if you would send it to me .
Thanks again !

lol Phill - a bridge ??? - I don't even know what that means. 
Thanks for the kind words
feel free to add one, I'm sure it would improve the song.
basically a cowboy style song in my mind

Topic: It's Love That You Lose (13 replies, posted in Songwriting)
So I thought I would start the new year off with a song I wrote this morning.
It's about a love that ended because of chasing dreams.
Sorry that I used the same chords for the chorus as I did with the verses - is that ok to do ? It just sounded good tome and I'm not a good enough musician to come with something else
Comments appreciated. !
Bahaha - changed my mind, changed the title and switched up a verse and chorus.... just seemed better after playing it
