Topic: Christmas Love

Easybeat got me thinking about how Christmas might not be such a great holiday for some people and that a little kindness, understanding and help might very important to them rather than a present under the tree.

anyway here is the song I wrote  - probably needs a lot of fine tuning.

Christmas Love By Jim Kenyon


[Em] oh, not every [G] one knows about [C] how I [G] feel


or [Em]maybe no one [G]cares [C] what is[G] real


ya know that [Em] there’s some[G] things no [C]one should [G]feel


Like when your [Em]begging a [G]stranger for [C]your next [G]meal




.




Chorus 


[Em]Well, it’s Christmas [G]time all [C]through the [G]town


There’s [Em]Christmas [G]Spirit flowing[C] all a[G]round


Yeah It’s [Em]Christmas [G]time from[C] coast to [G]coast


won’t you [Em]give your[G] Christmas love to those [C]who need it the[G] most


.




[Em]Oh Christmas isn’t [G] always [C]what it [G]seems


For[Em] me it’s always [G]been a bunch of[C] broken [G]dreams


Yeah, now [Em] Christmas seems [G]just like [C] any other [G]day


When I [Em]spend my time [G]chasing the [C]blues [G]away


.




Chorus 


[Em]Well, it’s Christmas [G]time all [C]through the [G]town


There’s [Em]Christmas [G]Spirit flowing[C] all a[G]round


Yeah It’s [Em]Christmas [G]time from[C] coast to [G]coast


won’t you [Em]give your[G] Christmas love to those [C]who need it the[G] most





.






[Em]oh it’s hard to find the[G] road [C]to make things[G] right


When there’s [Em]heartache and [G]tears all [C]through the [G]night


there’s always[Em]too much [G]darkness and [C]not enough[G] love


and the [Em]world comes[G] crashing down[C] from [G]above


.




Chorus 


[Em]Well, it’s Christmas [G]time all [C]through the [G]town


There’s [Em]Christmas [G]Spirit flowing[C] all a[G]round


Yeah It’s [Em]Christmas [G]time from[C] coast to [G]coast


won’t you [Em]give your[G] Christmas love to those [C]who need it the[G] most



'




can’t you [Em]give your[G] Christmas love to those [C]who need it the[G] most




yea I’m asking


won’t you [Em]give your[G] Christmas love to those [C]who need it the[G] most

Re: Christmas Love

Jim I love the way you put that together. Good to see lyrics that think about those are going through a rough time at Christmas,     

Re: Christmas Love

Nice one Jim. Kinda reminiscent of that song you did about the guy raising the bottle for his late wife? Not saying the words or tune are the same, but you have that ability to put yourself in other people's shoes and you do it so beautifully.
Homelessness is getting to be a big problem here, and we pride ourselves on our "great" welfare state. The last ten years have destroyed it, the next ten may make it disappear all together.
Thanks for raising awareness of this subject. Tastefully done.     

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

Yes phill it has that same - type of emotion to it.

I had an epiphine this morning and I am going to change entire chord structure - but I won't have time for a day or two to post the change


Thanksagain guys
