Song about needing love... a slight bit of reference to Martin Luther ( 1521) in the first chorus line smile

Here I StandJim Kenyon





[Em]There’s no place to hide to ease my pain, like [G] running down the road in a pouring rain


[D]embraced by the shadow of soft moonlight, l’m [Em] looking for someone to make life right


[Em]They tell me that wisdom comes over time, and to [G]just have faith in this heart of mine


[D]But I can’t wait no longer, I need help now, need to[Em] find a love and survive somehow


.


Chorus


[Em]So here I stand, yeah here I stand, like [G]many years ago in a different land


[D]here I stand, yeah here I stand, oh I’m [Em]waiting for you to take me by the hand


[Em]So here I stand, here I stand, just [G]looking for someone that can understand


[D]Oh here I stand, here I stand,I’m [Em]waiting for love in the[D] promised [Em]land


.




[Em]Thinking about the day when the ache is gone, it’s the [G] dream that I’ve been working on


[D]I’ve searched my soul, looking for an answer, I [Em]hear the music but I’ve got no dancer


[Em]Hoping for a lover to keep me warm,and [G]bring me some shelter from this storm


[D]There’s no telling what tomorrow brings, but [Em]I want to be somebody's everything


.






Bridge




[Am]so here I stand..........waiting for a sign



[Em] here I stand.........put your lips on mine


[Am]here I stand ............. needing something new


and [B7] here I stand............. waiting for a love like [Em]you




solo through the chords again into the chorus...




.


Chorus


[Em]So here I stand, yeah here I stand, like [G]many years ago in a different land


[D]here I stand, yeah here I stand, oh I’m [Em]waiting for you to take me by the hand


[Em]So here I stand, here I stand, just [G]looking for someone that can understand


[D]Oh here I stand, here I stand,I’m [Em]waiting for love in the[D] promised [Em]land






outgo, little slower....




[D]Oh here I stand, here I stand,I’m [Em]waiting for a trip to the[D] promised [Em]land


[D]Oh here I stand, here I stand,I’m [Em]waiting for love in the[D] promised [Em]land




Slow ending


[D]here I stand, yeah here I stand, oh I’m [Em]waiting for you to take me [D]by the [Em]hand




[D]no matter how long it takes, I'm gonna [Em] stand til I reach the [D] promised [Em]and.

The problem with selling them is that you get about 20% of the value -
it's similar to automobiles - soon as it leaves the lot - re-sale value plummet's like a stone in water.
Might as well keep it.  I'm at 12 and that where I will stay. I don't need any more and don't really want to sell at a huge loss.
Someone on here once put a quote out that said something like " My biggest fear is that my wife is going to sell off my guitars after I die for what I told her I paid for them ! "   smile

My wife's favorite -  "  you spend big $ on a new guitar b/c you say you can hear the difference, but you can't her me calling you from the kitchen to take the garbage out! "

I think mine ( and probably Beamer's) is  " You can't buy happiness, but you can buy guitars, and that's close enough for me !"  ::)
That's just my humble opinion as a guitar player that doesn't really even play smile

This sounds like it could be a track for a Hollywood movie.
I was picturing an advancing army of knights heading toward a castle.

This sounds awesome!
Way to go

Perfect description of so many places that get over run as so as the secret of their charm and beauty gets out
Topsail, NC comes to mind right away!

Thanks to Phill - he helped re-write and make the music component work.
I really like it - but then again I'm a bit biased smile

Hope you like it as well.

Much gratitude to PHILL !!!

They are excellent !

I liked the way the song changes - it's almost like they switch genres a couple of times.  Superb guitar  playing and the keyboard was top rate as well.
It is so sad that he died - I can't imagine the suddeness - went to a show the night before to watch another band play  - was fine - goes home - then has a full cardiac arrest and dies.
40 is way too young - reminds of the song six strings down -  angels done took anothe (blues) stringer back home"

good post TF  TY

So cool !

TF thanks for the kind words - it just comes easy for me - and i am always cognizant of phrases and comments that would be great themes. There are so many great contributors here on Chordie it seems to be  easy pickens as such.

I play it in both keys  of  A  and G     and like it both ways.

Peatle - that was a great description of a time gone by in the area.   
When I read about the park, it just seemed so peaceful and beautiful. Do you know if the deer and chestnut trees are still as prevalent ?
I did not realize the link between Captain Vancouver and the Canadian city ! Thanks for the history lesson.


Phill - interesting history regarding the King.  Also, what or who  is CNET ? 

Thank you all for the positive feedback - I wish I could sing b/c I think this is really a beautiful little song that is happy and sad at the same time.
I can so picture a gentleman who has lost his life long partner walking through the park and thinking these words.

Thanks again !  Maybe if I get my courage up I'll record it.

He was really in a groove.  Reminds of the the line from Springsteen's Thunder Road - " I've learned how to make this guitar sing"  !

If I could fingerpick 20 % as good as that  I think I could be famous.
Thanks for sharing

reminds a bit of Kurt Cobain story a bit.

None the less... the guy was absolutely lights out musician.... He and Frampton were a classic pairing
If I remember correctly Frampton left the band around 1970-71   

When I was in college in Pennsylvania in  1974 , he played as Peter Frampton - in our auditorium. My roommate talked me into going... had no idea who he was....Wasn't more than 200 of us idiots in there.

A year later he sold out the Cow Palace in San Francisco about 50,000 attended....  -  his album " Frampton comes alive" was a mega hit !


He is 69 now and still on tour !   


Love to see him again !

Very tragic story of how he died.
Alcohol, drugs and smoking in bed - not a good combination.

I was just talking with a friend yesterday about all of the famous people that have
" made it" big and then find a way to screw it up  and have it all taken away in a flash.

Well ......  I read Ctech and Angela's "stormy skies" post and then was looking around England on the internet since my daughter is there to be in her friends wedding and I found this beautiful park called Richmond.  I've never been there but it sounds awesome.  Then add Phill's post this morning about - " Hey what are you doing? "   So I wasn't really doing anything - but as I was reading about the deer in Richmond Park I started to play my acoustic guitar a bit and it morphed into a 3/4 time little "waltzy" thing. Before I knew it I imagined a love story happening there.  This is what I came up with !
Hope you like it and hope the park is as beautiful as it sounds.

Richmond Park by Jim Kenyon


[A]It was in a place called –Richmond park, where people gather and [E]talk


a girl like the wind,  swept me off of my feet


I could barely [A]walk,


With clouds floating by in the deep blue sky,lying under chestnut [D]trees


She took my hand, then she [A]took my heart


She was[E] everything to[A] me




.


Chorus


[D]Oh, Richmond park,Oh[A] Richmond park


Where[E] deer run wild and [A]free


[D]Oh Richmond park, Oh [A]Richmond park


[E]You brought true love to[A] me




.




[A]She was a vision of beauty just like Richmond park, I fell with all my[E] heart


her eyes and her smile reached into my soul, I knew


that we’d never [A] part


The years rolled along, like a ship on the sea, cutting through every [D]wave


Her voice and her laughter are still [A] in my mind


Oh such [E]memories to cherish and [A] save




.




Chorus


[D]Oh, Richmond park,Oh[A] Richmond park


Where[E] deer run wild and [A]free


[D]Oh Richmond park, Oh [A]Richmond park



[E]A love that will always [A]be




.




[A]Twilight now falls on Richmond park, and I walk the paths a[E]lone


silence echoes in my ears, as


angels have taken my love back [A]home


The sky is dark ,it’s starting to storm, the rain helps hide my [D]tears


I’ll never forget how she [A]loved this place


As we [E]shared it through all of these [A]years






[D]Oh, Richmond park,Oh[A] Richmond park


Where[E] deer run wild and [A]free


[D]Oh Richmond park, Oh [A]Richmond park


[E]Bring back my love to [A]me




(Repeat 2nd chorus)


[D]Oh Richmondpark, Oh[A] Richmond park


Where[E] deer run wild and [A]free


[D]Oh Richmondpark, Oh [A]Richmond park


[E]A love that will always [A]be




Slow


[E]A love that will always [A]be


[E]A love that will always [A]be
