Topic: Extraordinary Love

Just a song I wrote for that extraordinary woman in my life. Hope you all like it.

Extraordinary Love By Jeff Gilpin


January 8th, 2008


Intro


[Dm] [Am]


Verse 1


I’m [Dm]pretty ordinary


I have [Am]ordinary dreams


Live an [C]ordinary life


At [G]least that’s how it seems


Own an [G]ordinary house


On some [Am]ordinary land


Work an [C]ordinary job


[Am]Doing what I can


[G]But you give me [Am]


Extraordinary [Dm]love [Am]




Verse 2


I make an [Dm]ordinary living


In an [Am]ordinary town


[C]Not too much to do here


There’s [G]not much going down


I drive my [G]ordinary car


Through [Am]ordinary streets


I [C]wave to all the ordinary


[Am]People who I meet


[G]But you give [Am]me


Extraordinary [Dm]love




Ex[G]traordinary love


To this [Dm]ordinary life


[G]More than I could hope for


To [Dm]have you as my wife


[G]Thanks for giving ordinary [Am]me


Extraordinary [Dm]love





Verse 3


I grew [Dm]up ordinary


[Am]Nothing wrong with that


Had an [C]ordinary dog


And an [G]ordinary cat


I [G]got my education


From an [Am]ordinary school


Went [C]off to make my fortune


An [Am]ordinary fool


And [G]yet you gave me [Am]


Extraordinary [Dm]love [Am]




Verse 4


[Dm]How I ever found you


Was an [Am]ordinary fluke


I [C]think you found me interesting


I was a [G]little hard to spook


The [G]more I got to know you


I [Am]wanted to know you more


So [C]far from ordinary


The [Am]one I now adore


And [G]now you give me [Am]


Extraordinary [Dm]love




Ex[G]traordinary love


To this [Dm]ordinary life


[G]More than I could hope for


To [Dm]have you as my wife


[G]Thanks for giving ordinary [Am]me


Extraordinary [Dm]love

Hi Jets60,
What a lovely accolade to your wife. Well done sir
I enjoyed your rhyming and chorus line.
I hav'nt tried to play your song, but your chord sequence does'nt look too hard.
Regards & cheers

Re: Extraordinary Love

Great song Jeff, as I was reading this I thought' "why didn't I think of that?". You beat me to the punch, and plus I can't rhyme as well as you do. Very well done and thanks for sharing.

Peace and Guitars,

Give everything but up.

Re: Extraordinary Love

Hi Jets,

You underestimate yourself! "Extraordinary Love " for a not so Ordinary Man.

Woman know this. Men like you will always get a positive response. You show such repect for us Females..  There ya go Jets "Top prize Rosette" for being a Gentleman.

Old Doll.

Why Blend in with the Crowd ? When you were made to stand out !

Re: Extraordinary Love

Thanks you guys.

John, the chords fit pretty well so try giving her a ride.

Toney, I'm not sure where the idea came from. I guess it was  related to me not doing too much with myself until she came  along.

Lena, I truly think having the good fortune of meeting her made me a better person and the even better fortune to have become her husband, well what can I say other than I'm a lucky guy.
