That was a brilliant performance.
I have never seen an 8 string guitar - that was pretty unusual.
Perfectly played - such a hauntingly placid song.
Thanks for sharing

Thanks Jeff !
I guess I owe it to you for the inspiration - just followed your example - snowstorm = songwriting session! 
If you do play it - send me a copy.

LOL - we got 18" of snow today so I was housebound a lot. ( Must be I got the idea from Jeff, a la " Waiting for the snow to com" )
Picked up my Martin 6 string and came up with this little country song.
Hope you like it.
Meant To Be By Jim Kenyon
[G]I remember it only took a second,for me to notice you
And it [C]only took a couple more minutes,before I [G]knew
It only[C] took an hour to know, I'd never want to let you [G] go
And by the [D]end of the night, I was [C] so in love with [G]you.
.
[G]I remember I took you by the hand and lead the way
You let me [C]draw you near and hold you ever so [G]tight
as we [C]danced, I softly whispered sweet words in your[G] ear
and I will [D]never forget our [C]first loving kiss that[G] night
.
Chorus
now it’s [C]gonna take me a lifetime to love you [G]right
to[C]morrow is a chance for today's dream to come [G]true
and I [C]know that yesterday is but today's memo[G]ry
oh, I’m [D] so in love with you [C] baby, it’s just meant to[G] be
I’m [D] so in love with you [C] baby, it’s just meant to[G] be
.
[G]It all happened so fast, it sure seemed just like a dream
And now [C]every time we’re together, I feel so com[G]plete
I love [C] everywhere we’ve been , and I love where we [G] are
and I can’t [D]wait for tomorrow to[C] see where our love will [G] be
.
Chorus
now it’s [C]gonna take me a lifetime to love you [G]right

Peatle
I just went to their (Chicago) concert last summer in Saratoga NY
They were very good. However it was disappointing in how the show was done.
I went expecting them to play all their hits etc...... instead they just played their latest album and a couple of past hits in the encore.
The other band was REO SPEEDWGON - they rocked the house - absolutely amazing.

i have played this through a few times - it has the making of a really fine country song - at least how that's how I play it.
It flows really nice and the lyric is top notch!
Well done
Can't wait tohear your version to see if it is similar to how I am playing it, but obviously better bc I can't play too well or sing a bit.
Thanks also for the keen insight to bridge how weather can be impactful on one's mindset.
Cool song man !

Thanks for the kind words of support.
CTECH -as you can now see I just had to go back and put chorus differently - it was just bothering me. I'm not sure it made it better - but just sits better with me.
I appreciate both comments a lot. Have a safe and Happy New Year.

Topic: Song: Now She Sleeps alone (8 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Now, She Sleeps Alone by Jim Kenyon
At first I couldn’t think of any musical way to change
the chords for the chorus.
So I just played the same sequence all the way through.
after waking up this morning - I changed it a bit so it has a chorus now with the chord sequence just a bit different.
.
I wrote it about a special circumstance, but I think it could fit a lot of stories
also - I changed the title
Verse 1
[Am]There’s things that happen [Dm] in this life
which [Am] bring sorrow to your [E]soul
[Am]Things you’ll never [Dm]understand
And [E] things you can’t con[Am]trol
Chorus
[Dm] I know a girl as cold as ice
She [Am]has a heart of stone
She [E]never cries, she never smiles
and [Dm]now she [E]sleeps a[Am]lone
Verse 2
[Am]She once was my [Dm]own true love
and[Am] then she slipped [E]away
Oh [Am]such a caring [Dm]heart she had
I still [E]love her to this [Am]day
[Dm] [Am] [ E ] [Am]
[Dm] [Am] [ E ] [Am]
Verse 3
[Am]Her smile lit up [Dm]every room
But [Am]now that light is [E]gone
With[Am] hair so soft and [Dm]voice so sweet
lost [E] ‘tween darkness and the[Am] dawn
Chorus
[Dm] I know a girl as cold as ice
She [Am]has a heart of stone
She [E]never cries, she never smiles
and [Dm]now she [E]sleeps a[Am]lone
Verse 4
[Am]It seems as though the [Dm]sun should shine
and [Am]take away the [E] pain
My [Am]life, it seems so[Dm] empty now
and all I[E] feel is bitter [Am] rain
Chorus
[Dm] I know a girl as cold as ice
She [Am]has a heart of stone
She [E]never cries, she never smiles
and [Dm]now she [E]sleeps a[Am]lone
She [E]never cries, she never smiles
and [Dm]now she [E]sleeps a[Am]lone
