Reckless Mind & Rebel Heart by Jim Kenyon
Verse 1
.
[G]She was more wolf than a [C]woman
A wild [G]soul, but that ain’t[D] wrong
I [G]didn’t want to try to [C]tame her
Just [G]wanted her to [D]take me a[G]long
. Verse 2
.
[G]She's a little bit like [C]heaven
joyful [G] gypsy dancing with the [D]stars
like [G]wind moves through wild[C]flowers
a [G]reckless mind with a [D]rebel [G]heart
.
Chorus
[C]Falling in love was far too risky
see she [G]couldn’t be tied down
a free [C]soul never lookin' back
She had [D]no reason to stick around
[C]She had a world that couldn’t wait
So she [G]drifted from place to place
Oh, her[C] heart just wasn’t in it, and
I had [D]nothing to make her stay
.
Verse 3
[G]A fire burning [C]oh so bright
But [G] cool as a summer [D]rain
With her [G]spirit running [C]ever free
she’s [G]a dream that you [D]can’t ex[G]plain
Chorus
[C]Falling in love was far too risky
see she [G]couldn’t be tied down
a free [C]soul never lookin' back
She had [D]no reason to stick around
[C]She had a world that couldn’t wait
So she [G]drifted from place to place
Oh, her[C] heart just wasn’t in it, and
I had [D]nothing to make her stay
Repeat verse 2
.
[G]She's a little bit like [C]heaven
joyful [G] gypsy dancing with the [D]stars
like [G]wind moves through wild[C]flowers
a [G]reckless mind with a [D]rebel [G]heart
just a [G]reckless mind with a [D]rebel [G]heart
She's a [G]reckless mind with a [D]rebel [G]heart

I would guess it is a black widow spider.
Very mysterious song - made by simple lyrics.
Very clever Phill ! but is it more clever than your granddaughter - i think not - she is asking all the right questions !!
Looking forward to the recording
Give my best to Ann

Russell - that sounds great ! It appears that you are really into it and very satisfied.
I think you have already gotten your money's worth just in that video. Awesome!
Can you record with that system ? ( as in add lyrics - singing as you play ?

I 'm thinking this is a man that is in deep trouble, and realizes he needs help - not only in making through the impending trouble of the moment, but in his life as well. Kind of - "Please let have an hour and don't let me die, if I make it I'm gonna make significant changes".
As a writer - b/c I'm not much of a musician, and I know absolutely how punk rock works - I think I would suggest a change that in the last line from acclimate to " before it's too late" but hey, it's your song.
Nice work

Re: the painting (4 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Nice one Mojo - ditto to all of the above !
Do you still have that painting. If not, it would quite a project to hunt it down.
You always come through with songs that have such imagery, and also always attach inceredible emotion or passion. Very heartfelt.

Thanks Graham
I just finished re working it a bit to make the lyrics fit better.
I think it is about as good as I'm able to do.
Feel free to take a shot at it - make any changes that you think it needs.
As you and all on chordie know, I'm a writer not a musician.

Thanks for the kind words

Thanks Phill
Nah - never touch the stuff.
Just seen too much of it - and a friend had it happen to their son.
Lol about the singing - there is no song easy for me to sing !
I'm not sure this is a final version - when I sing it in my head it sounds nothing like those chords when I play it. We'll see what happens - a work in progress.
Thanks for giving it a look

the perfect place By JimKenyon
[Am] I had a dream last night ,I needed [Em]shelter from a [Am]storm
[Am]I was searching for a place that could [Em]keep me safe and [Am]warm
[Dm]then a stranger appeared and gently looked upon my [Am]face
for a [Em]price she whispered , she'd take me to the perfect [Am]place
.
[Am]I saw myself drifting on a [Em]ship roaming an ageless [Am]sea
[Am]whitecaps all around and the [Em] wind blowing wild and [Am]free
[Dm]The stranger swore the trip would ease my heart[Am]aches
and for a [Em]price she whispered, she'd take me to the perfect [Am]place
.
chorus
she told me [F] no more hopes and dreams would change to[Am] fears
no more [F]drowning every night in my own[Am] tears
she posed[F]“would it be too much to ask to live without this [Am]pain ?”
but you've [Em]gotta give something up for everything you [Am]gain
.
[Am]I saw a faded orchard, where the [Em]wild honeysuckle [Am]grows
[Am] Sweetness hidden in shadows, and [Em]secrets that no one [Am]knows
[Dm]the stranger took me by the hand saying let me ease your [Am]cares
for a [Em]price she whispered, this place answers all your [Am]prayers
.
[Am] I woke up wondering about the [Em]meaning of this strange, strange [Am]dream
[Am]the answer gets clearer when I [Em] stir my coffee with co[Am]deine
[Dm]Ikeep pretending and waiting to end of this living [Am]Hell
there's a [Em]price she said, but what it was she wouldn't [Am] tell
‘
chorus
she said [F] no more hopes and dreams would change to[Am] fears
no more [F]drowning every night on my pillow in my own[Am] tears
she posed[F]“would it be too much to ask to live without this [Am]pain ?”
but you've [Em]gotta give something up for everything you [Am]gain
yeah, you've [Em]gotta give something up for everything you [Am]gain
yeah, you've [Em]gotta give something up for everything you [Am]gain
