Don't get too excited - it's just me singing my song.
I tried to do it by memory - there are some screw ups smile  smile

I am not a musician so keep that in mind - just thought I'd give you an idea of what
the melody (if you can call it that when I sing smile  )  goes.

Thanks for listening

Jeff  Picking up the guitar is always stress relieving for me - even if I m not very good at it.  It's like your lyric says - it often takes yourself somewhere.  Thanks for sharing ! Nice work .   Jim

Great point Riverdales - that always amazes me when I go to live venues - my comment to my wife is usually " How heck can they remember all those songs.? "   I mean often people are requesting from the crowd and these people just go - ok  I'll play it ! I have trouble remembering the lines from my own songs ! smile   sad

Jeff,

I am assuming this is about your special person.  A  fine illumination of how you see them in your life.  It flows nicely.
Might be a tad long, but if you're talking about the love of your life - it's worth every word!!

Nice work

Jim

I got the impression that the boy/girl were getting back together? Even with break up songs I like a happy ending!

I think this is a case of inadvertent or unintentional influence ! 
When you asked that it had never occurred to me that it could end up with them getting back together.
I love it !   I changed the very end of it just to enhance it that way.
It certainly leaves the listener with the ability to think of their own interpretation as to what happens .
Thanks for the guidance !

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)   smile

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 ! smile  )

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.

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

(slow)


yeah, it's the[D] love [C] that we [G] lose (together)


yeah it's[D] fate that's [C] ours to [G] choose (together)


(real slow)


it's the[D] love [C] that we [G] lose (together)

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 !

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 smile
Comments appreciated. !


Bahaha - changed my mind, changed the title and switched up a verse and chorus....  just seemed better after playing it
