Topic: Jamie

Yes, yes i know that the song is in capo I and that the chord names are different when capoed in a different fret....for the sake of time and easy reading, play the chords as you would without it capoed.........please, good or bad criticism is always welcome....i learn by people's criticism so in a round-about way, you're helpin me!


Jamie

Copywrite:Blake Stitcher

CAPO: I
Intro: G,     F, C,        F, G,      F,C,     F, G,

Verse 1:
G                                                                F
Jamie was a girl that I knew in school,
C                                                                    F
Hangin’ out and actin’ like we were cool.
G                                                                         F
Not payin' attention to what all was goin’ on,
C                                                                            F
And I’d smile to myself when she would call.
G                                                                          F
Livin’ college life without a care in the wind,
C                                                                                   F
Whenever this crazy world seemed to be closin’ in.
G                                                                F
But I would trade any moment in time,
C                                        D
If she could ever be there by my side.


Chorus:
        G                  F                       C                     G
And it’s crazy to think how I did without her laugh there with me,

    G                            F              C                         D
I’d cross the scorchin’ desert or swim across a stormin’ sea,
                 
                                   C               B      A  G       
But you know, It’d be worth it to love Jamie

G,   F, C   F, G

Verse 2:
It was sometime in my college sophomore year,
I wanted to skip town and get outta’ here.
I wasn’t sure where I’d go or what I’d see,
But you know it wouldn’t be worth it without Jamie.
So I decided to stick around for a little longer while,
I didn’t want to miss out on her gorgeous smile.
So I unpacked my bags and opened up my heart,
For mine and Jamie’s new fresh start

Chorus

Instrumental Outro:    Em, C,  G     Em, C, D     Em, C, G         Em, F, C, G

Re: Jamie

lol see you made sure the capo thing didn't come up with this one.
  All in all a very nice song rooster, the only part im stuck on is the B to A to G.... maybe its just me but the g doesn't seem to fit (or maybe its the B?)
But now on to all the positives smile
  Really like the intro chords and the E minors going out. I also like the chord progressions all through the verses. I like the fact you took time to make the intros and outro instrumentals different than the rest of the song..... so yeah you did good. smile

Re: Jamie

Hi Blake,

Lovely song reminding me of a young lady from my school and college days (I might be 60 now but I can still remember those times). A nice change to bring the Em into the outro.

Thank you,

Roger

Re: Jamie

This is a definate bullseye, Rooster3!  I hope you didn't drop out of college - as a prof, I would counsel that you finish the degree (no matter how painful it may seem).  It is great to be in love - hope that you and Jamie are still grooving together.  James

Re: Jamie

Thank you all so much for your compliments!!!!!!!!  They mean a lot more than you know!   thank for the outro insrumental chords compliments....i wsn't really sure how ya'll would think the'd flw with the rest of the song....

last rebel, the B to A to G thing goes like this.....you are playin a c chord rigt before you start those three  so make a C chord, then lift up your 4th finger then hit down on 2nd fret on 5th string(like a Bm Chrd) then release that hit an open A note and then hit G chord.....its more of a follow down with one note than the actual chord itself.......and yeah haha no one comented on the Capo chords on mine.....
once again thank you to everyone...
