Topic: It's a Mountain Thing & Marylou Marylou
I write songs all the time (as a lot of you know), but didn't want to overflow the songwriting forum...anyway here are two of mine I wrote a few years ago and finally recorded the other day: It's a Mountain Thing & Marylou Marylou...available on my soundcloud site if you want to listen:

It’s a Mountain Thing By Jeff Gilpin
Intro
Strumming G
If I roll on down to[C]day
Just to say [Em]hey
To all my [D]friends [C]
Find out how they’ve [G]been
I doubt they’d be sur[C]prised
But they’d be smiling with their [Em]eyes
If I rolled down to[D]day [C]
Bet it would be o[G]kay
One day I’ll [Em]do that
It’s not too [Am]far
Shorter by [D]air
Longer by [G]car
I often [Em]wonder
Just how long it’s [Am]been
Always feel [D]welcome [C]
It’s a mountain [G]thing
In pictures I [C]see them
Those who I’d be [Em]seeing
Look kind of the [D]same[C]
After playing the life [G]game
I know I’m older [C]too
Not much I can [Em]do
I’d grin and say [D]hey [C]
Bet it would be o[G]kay
One day I’ll [Em]do that
It’s not too [Am]far
Shorter by [D]air
Longer by [G]car
I often [Em]wonder
Just how long it’s [Am]been
Always feel [D]welcome [C]
It’s a mountain [G]thing
Repeat First Verse..1st 2 lines…end on Em and let it ring
Marylou Marylou by Jeff Gilpin
August 10, 2016
Mary[D]lou Marylou
What am [A]I going to do
Now that [G]you’re far away? [G7]
Thought I was over you
But that turned out untrue.
Say you’re not gone to stay.
[Em]Cause I was just getting [A]used to you
And [Em]all your fickle [A]ways.
[Em]Now you’re gone with[A]out a so long
Oh [Em]won’t you come back I [G]hope and [A]pray. [A7]
Marylou now you’re gone
But my memory’s strong.
I can still sense you’re here.
Here’s where you belong.
Since you’re not it’s all wrong
But I’m starting to fear.
I’m afraid that you’ll never come back
And I will feel like this forever.
Each night I pray for your return
And I see you again…maybe I’ll feel better.
Repeat 1st verses end with Dmaj7 D after the G7
