Hey Texan - We need more Texans on chordie....even the ones living in the UK.

Remember the Alamo!

2011-11-10 22:43:21

Hey Ark - I really enjoyed listening to The Last Templar. Very beautiful song and I enjoyed your mix of it too. Sounds very polished.

Well done!

On Chordie with chords...

I wrote this song a little while ago and I have been making little changes to it just to get it ready before I posted it. It is about the changes that go on in people who tend to live a little freely in the night time, but come back into the norms of society for their 9 to 5 life. The bridge represents the conflicted complications that go on throughout the work day. Nothing too complicated to understand I think. Hope you all like it.

Thanks Artless. I'm sure Shania Twain could relate to the song. I wish I knew of a way to get it to her. I heard from the friend I wrote it for that she liked it. She said that it gave her a happy cry and that's enough for me.

2011-11-07 02:47:27

Thanks Dino. Yep, from the heart for a good friend of mine who deserves to live happily ever after a whole lot of frog kissing.

2011-11-06 22:17:23

I wrote this for a good friend of mine who I just found out got married this weekend. He second marrige, but her first was when she was very young. She had been waiting for what seemed like forever for the right guy to come along and I think she's finally found him. I put the underscores in so you who want to try and play the song will know the chords above the underscores start before the lyrics if you get what I mean.

Second Chances By Jeff Gilpin

November 6th, 2011

Verse 1

Who [D]says you only get one [G]shot at [A]life

[D]_ Only one chance to be [G]man and [A]wife

Who [Bm]says if it comes to an [A]end

You can’t start all over a[F#]gain

Another chance to see if you [G]can [A]

[D]Start all [A]over a[G]gain [A]_ if you [D]can [A]

Verse 2

[D]You thought happiness had [G]passed you [A]by

[D]_ No second chance to [G]get it [A]right

[Bm]Now that you know so much [A]more

You’re ready for what all’s in [F#]store

Wish you knew it be[G]fore [A]

[D]For what’s [A]all in [G]store [A]_ and want [D]more [D7]

Bridge

[G]Second chances come a[Bm]long

[A]Even after what seemed like so [D]long

[G]You just had to wait for the [Bm]right one

And be [A]strong [G]...

Verse 3

[D]Vows that come a[G]round a[A]gain

Means [D]more now than they [G]did way back [A]when

[Bm]Now that you know what it [A]means

Like stepping out of a [F#]dream

It really is like it [G]seems [A]

[D]Pinch your[A]self to be [G]sure [A]_ it’s not a [G]dream [D]...

2011-10-29 16:10:16

Yep - that's a good one. I found many more verses of Plastic Jesus than are in the movie - give a search and you're sure to find a lot of hits.

2011-10-26 22:12:09

Yep, I plan on getting this one recorded too. Still getting this one down though so it might be a while until I'm ready to record.

2011-10-26 22:05:18

Thanks Roger - I just slip the Dm6 with an open low E over a string to become Am7 if you catch my meaning. My plan is to record some this weekend. My wife is going on a golf outing this weekend so I get some free time. Plus my daughter's freed up my recording studio, aka basement.

2011-10-26 20:43:46

Not really the one who got a way. Just an embellishment of a childhood crush which I thought would make a good story song. Thanks Robert.

2011-10-26 00:01:10

Thanks Dino,

Well my daughter moved out of my basement so I can get re-situated down there again and start recording. I'll move it up the list and get it recorded soon as I'm set up.

2011-10-25 02:53:56

Here is a story song I've been playing with. Kind of a "in the past and then back to the present" story if you know what I mean. Hope you like it. For some reason I hear it with a banjo ...sure wish I could play one.

Eyes Like Mountain Water By Jeff Gilpin

October 24, 2011

Verse 1

[F]His family moved to the city

Just [ ]before the start of school

[Bb]They got out of the mountains

Left the streams and mountain [F]cool

Because the [C]city education

Would be [Bb]better for the children

And they [C]wanted their children

To have it [Bb]better than it ever was for [F]them

Chorus 1

Because you [Bb]sometimes want what’s better

Even though it [F]wasn’t really bad there

You [C]figure that it may be worth a [F]shot

But you [Bb]have to give up something

Just to [F]try and grab that brass ring

Even [C]though the ring you reach for’s not a [Bb]lot

Verse 2

[F]So he started school there

[ ]Met a bunch of new faces

Who [Bb]didn’t seem much different

From those that he knew in the mountain [F]places

But [C]one face caught his eye there

With a [Bb]smile as bright as sunshine

And [C]eyes like mountain water

That [Bb]somehow seemed to stop him in [F]tracks

Chorus 2

But for [Bb]her it wasn’t the same

She [F]never even knew his name

And [C]there was nothing he could do to [F]change it

Her [Bb]eyes were for another

So he [F]tried to look the other

Way but [C]somehow his eye’s always came back to [Bb]her

Bridge

Then [Bb]life goes on and on again

Without getting near a happy [ ]end

[Bb]His went on and hers went on [F]too

But [Am]after so much time

He [Dm]still remembers the rhyme

Some [Bb]memories seem always to keep [C]true [Bb]

Verse 3

[F]Many years passed by him

Life and [ ]living left him aged

Then [Bb]he stumbled across her

It was like he turned back the [F]pages

He [C]recognized her in an instant

Though her [Bb]sunshine seemed more settled

But [C]even the setting sunlight

Can [Bb]take your breath away in the [F]skies

Chorus 3

And they [Bb]talk about the years

Some of [F]laughter some of tears

She [C]smiled remembering them all [F]well

And the [Bb]boy that she had the eyes for

He was [F]gone but not forgotten

And those [C]eyes [Bb]...oh the stories they could [F]tell

2011-10-25 02:28:49

Hey Bob - Welcome and thanks for the song. Very good offering. I still heard it country in my head.

2011-10-08 13:14:49

Hey Robert - The translation of Koibito Yo into english was too difficult to turn into a song, at least for me and it's a really sad song. It's about divorce and the woman trying to meet with her ex husband. She's sitting on a bench in a park waiting for him to try and work it out, but no one comes. It's sad but also a very pretty song to listen to and I think Mayumi Itsuwa could sing the phone book and it would sound great. I tried to find some of here songs on iTunes but nothing was there. She has a ton all over youtube though....She's a great singersongwriter in my opinion.

2011-10-08 12:47:14

Just a comment from Amy got me thinking about what makes a good song. To me it is a song that someone remembers long after they hear it. I doubt a song of mine will ever make it beyond my circle of friends, but It's pretty cool to get you song stuck in one of your friend's head.

I stumbled upon a song that I first heard many years ago that my wife had on a tape of music from here home. The chords were simple enough so I played the music even though I could not sing the words which were in Japanese. She said the music sounded familiar to her but without the singing she never would have remembered so I played her this youtube video of the song and she remembered. I could see the memories flooding back to her from music she listened to when she was a teenager and that gave me the idea of the song. Here is the youtube of the song she listened to, Koibito Yo - by Mayumi Itsuwa (a very popular and talented singersongwriter in Japan): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEtoRGBN … re=related

I Played You a Song By Jeff Gilpin

September 29, 2011

Intro

[Dm6] [Am7]

Verse 1

[Dm6]I played you a song

[Am7]From your days gone by

[Dm6]In an instant the room was gone

[Am7]With a distant look in your eye

[Em7]Gone the mother of a mother

[CMaj7]Gone the passage of time

[Em7]Gone were the years of living

[G]Erased by the music and the [Am7]rhyme

Verse 2

[Dm6]There sitting before me

Was the [Am7]woman child from years ago

[Dm6]Reliving some lost memories

As I [Am7]basked there in your glow

[Em7]Before you ever set eyes upon me

[CMaj7]Before you even left home

[Em7]Before you felt your wanderlust

[G]That started you to [Am7]roam

Verse 3

[Dm6]I interrupted your reverie

Asked a [Am7]question I’m not sure why

And [Dm6]back you came in an instant

From your [Am7]trip to days gone by

I could [Em7]tell you had a pleasant trip

To those [CMaj7]places you left behind

Not [Em7]sadness but fond memories

[G]Of your earlier [Am7]times

2011-09-28 05:21:15

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IH9gGyw … ature=fvst

2011-09-25 02:24:12

Thanks Dino - I agree and our politicians don't always get it.

2011-09-24 22:38:58

Couple of other of me me my fam

hope you don't mind, I fixed this for ya Jeff! Amy - MKM

2011-09-24 20:53:50

Thanks Amy - I think there is so much going on in the world that needs correcting, but every developed country has some serious problems thay also need to be fixed. In the US, roads and bridges that have been given minor maintenance for years and are in need of serious repair. The military is stretched to the breaking point and being asked to continue on a shoestring budget. The price of education is going through the roof and those who have gone into debt to get an education can't even find work. Other nations are in similar situations, and barely have enough resources to even minimally address their own problems.

2011-09-24 15:17:37

Just a song about the state of the world and how the developed nations need to maintain themselves before aiding the developing ones.

Empty Shelves By Jeff Gilpin

September 24, 2011

Intro

[C] [G] [D] [Am] [Em] [D]

Verse 1

[D]To our shore [Am]many people come

[Em]Many more will [G]come before they’re [D]through

The land of money or [Am]is it milk and honey

For [Em]some it’s just a [G]place to start a[D]new

Chorus 1

[C]The place where [G]we all [D]dream

The [Am]place where [Em]we all [D]live

Where the [C]world still [G]looks u[D]pon us

And [Am]to the [Em]world we [D]give

Verse 2

[D]Far away they [Am]live a different way

The [Em]freedoms we have [G]here aren’t a[D]round

Told to pray but [Am]only like they say

And [Em]those who diso[G]bey are never [D]found

Chorus 2

A [C]place where [G]dreams are [D]dead

Or [Am]stay in[Em]side peoples’ [D]head

Where [C]no one [G]can be [D]free

To [Am]live the [Em]life like we [D]lead

Verse 3

[D]So what’s our part [Am]is it ours to start

[Em]Correct the ways so [G]far from how we [D]see

Or look away [Am]let them go their way

And [Em]hope their plight will [G]never come to [D]me

Chorus 3

[C]We have [G]problems [D]too

So [Am]much that [Em]we could [D]loose

The [C]world will [G]have to [D]choose

How [Am]best to [Em]pay our [D]dues

Verse 4

[D]It’s not our place to [Am]fix the human race

Though [Em]many with the [G]time on their [D]hands

Think that we [Am]owe humanity

[Em]To repair the [G]problems we can’t [D]stand

Chorus 4

But [C]most of us have [G]work to [D]do

A little [Am]shelter [Em] a little [D]food

[C]We’re not [G]trying to be [D]rude

Just [Am]trying to [Em]make it [D]through

Verse 5

[D]I don’t think we can [Am]fix the world again

But [Em]maybe we can [G]fix the place we [D]live

What we should have respected [Am] we’ve long neglected

[Em]Almost until we’ve [G]nothing left to [D]give

Chorus 5

[C]We cannot [G]give our[D]selves

To [Am]aid [Em]someone [D]else

If we’ve [C]only [G]empty [D]shelves

… [Am]only [Em]empty [D]shelves

2011-09-23 01:09:01
