this always brightens up my Fridays - I'm never disappointed - usually when it plays - there are 3 or 4 more lined up behind it that I like as well.
Thanks for doing this CG !

a cover that comes to my mind is the Blind Faith album
when i was a teenager i think the naked girl on the cover was a great selling point.


The girl was 11 years old -  In today's world they would be arrested for child porn

That is fabulous !!
I can picture that happening all over world, especially in rural communities.
It personally struck a chord with me.
About 25 years ago my bother invited me to play poker with his friends. They were all at least 25 years older than I but they were great.  I was asked to fill the chair bc one of their dear friends and colleagues had passed away. Today they have all gone except for my brother, but he does not play anymore.
Yet the other day some younger guys asked me to join them in a game......  same conversations, and as you say   " same old crowd' - except in this case it was "same younger crowd"

That was beautifully written TF
Thank you for sharing.

Thanks so much for the kindness.

I would love to hear your  version of it. IMHO there really is no right version of a song, its how you feel as you sing it - if you like it - it's perfect.

I was watching a really old  movie and the narrator said - "he walked away and she let him go"

I grabbed my notebook and wrote that down and just kept writing - this is what I came up with....


Foolish Hearts By Jim Kenyon


[D]He never said how he [G]felt


He [D]never felt a need to [A]say


It was[D] hard to tell if it was [G]real


but he [A] said we’ll talk another[D] day






[D]And there never was a[G] later


It [D]never happened even [A]once


He [D]walked away, and she [G]let him go


Hopeless[A] faith in a feigned [D]front


.




Chorus



[G]Oh foolish hearts, oh foolish hearts


Oh [D]don’t let your let pride get in the way


Oh [G]foolish hearts, oh foolish hearts


Don’t let your [A]dreams go astray




[G]Oh foolish hearts, foolish hearts


You know [D]diamonds can turn to dust


Oh [G]foolish hearts, foolish hearts


please be[A] careful of whom you [D]trust




.






[D]And that’s exactly how it[G] ended


Reckless [D]pride right from the [A]start



Yeah she [D]thought things might work [G]out


just [A] careless hoping on her [D] part


[D]It was something how she [G]loved him


never [D]can be understood by a [A]man


Ro[D]mance is only for the [G]truest hearts


Every[A]one else does the best they [D]can


.




Chorus




[G]Oh foolish hearts, oh foolish hearts


Oh [D]don’t let your let pride get in the way


Oh [G]foolish hearts, oh foolish hearts


Don’t let your [A]dreams go astray




[G]Oh foolish hearts, foolish hearts


You know [D]diamonds can turn to dust


Oh [G]foolish hearts, foolish hearts


please be[A] careful of whom you [D]trust


out go




Oh [G]foolish hearts, foolish hearts


please be[A] careful of whom you [D]trust


Oh [G]foolish hearts, foolish hearts


Be[A] careful of whom you [D]trust


Slower


Be[A] careful of whom you [D]trust

Nice song Neo - sounds good.
I had not heard that song , although I have heard Dylan's and Neil Young's songs of the same title.

Thanks for sharing it.

It looks and sounds pretty good in the video ( the player looks real good!:)  )
a lot of the reviews on different sites are not so good on the tonewood amp.
Most said the batteries wear out fast.
It sells from 200 to 290 dollars -
probably pretty cool for beach player or busker (although several of the reviews said it wasn't loud enough for busking)
I'd like to have one if I was a serious musician I think

Thanks for sharing

I would just like to say that some people are busy and have to step away sometimes, some have some issues to deal with, some go on vacation, some have tech issues and can't get on.some just need a break.
I have experienced all of these at some point. I am not sure about what Zurf wrote about over moderation, as I have not had any issues personally with that.
I have seen an outpouring of compassion and care to members when needed - which is awesome.


Chordie is a really great site in my humble opinion.  Thank you to all of the people here - I really appreciate you !

Good luck with the guitar, I hope all goes well for you.

I was wondering since you are an accomplished guitarist with a lot of experience..... what are the major differences between a Gibson and an Epiphone  Les Paul model ?
Also wondering what's the difference between Guitar Center and Sweetwater - they always seem to have the same prices ?
Thanks

Thanks Jets and TF
I appreciate the honesty - it truly helps someone like me that struggles with the music part ( that sounds strange seeing that this a musical forum named Chordie! smile )
I went back and changed the chords and a few lyrics  ( as you can see above.)
I went to a different progression and modified it to fit.

It's easier to play and sing.

Thanks again for your help this version really works for me.
Jim
