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

Sad, but very nice song. Is there a reason it's only the music and no singing on soundcloud. I thought the lyrics were well done

Russell
Did you play that stupid game where you spin for the discount ? I have played it everyday since you posted and never got a code for more than 10 % ( Which is ok)
I'm holding out for the 20% - if I get that I would get this amp for $209 darn good deal I think - except - as I am reading many reviews - loads of them say it has a huge annoyance in hum feedback because of improper grounding - a bad plug
Did you get that hum with yours ?

Very nicely done Boys !
Over the course of my life I've had two dogs as such - best friends and inseparable. When the last one died it was like losing one of my kids - very hard.
Thanks for reminding me of all the great times I had with the dogs.
The video is great - I liked the pictures as weell as the music !

Phill
I believe you can make any guitar sound great, much the same way Ann always makes you look good ! 
I remember my first guitar was a Cherry red Sqier Stratocaster. It played good - I gave it to my neice a few years ago
Congrats on the 50th Phill
