Topic: Beneath the covers (re-write )

i wasn't happy about the lyrics of this song - So I re-wrote it.
I took down the old post.
I will try to record it someday soon.



Beneath the Covers    By   Jim Kenyon


(Verse 1)


.


[C]In her self-made studio, she [F]weaves nighttime [C] magic


[C] slender fingers picking notes so [F]elegantly [C]perfect


A voice [F] smooth and sweet, a smile slightly ro[C]mantic


[G] a canvas of others [F] dreams, and hers, I sus[C]pect


.






(Verse 2)


[C] hiding her emotions, she [F] plays some borrowed [C]songs


[C]far from the spotlight it[F]seems that she wants [C]more


As she [F] sings, her eyes offer glimpses into her [C]soul


[G] her past, a mystery andher [F]future, still un[C]sure


.




Chorus


[F]a voice that cradles timeless words of Folds and [C] Prine


As she [F] sings songs of fate and love not meant to [C] be


soft [F] melodies help her through what she can’t [C] explain


be[G]neath the covers, she [F]sets her loving heart [C] free


be[G]neath the covers, she [F] sets her loving heart [C] free


.


( Verse 3)


.



[C ]Hidden in her heart are [F]promises lost to [C] time


[C]seems there’s stories yet un[F] told in her [C] songs


Her words [F] weave a tapestry of life in the [C] night


[G] secrets kept while [F]searching for where she be[C]longs.


.






Chorus


[F]a voice that cradles timeless words of Folds and [C] Prine


As she [F] sings songs of fate and love not meant to [C] be


soft [F] melodies help her through what she can’t [C] explain


be[G]neath the covers, she [F] sets her loving heart [C] free


be[G]neath the covers, she [F] sets her loving heart [C] free


.






outgo


soft [F] melodies helping her through what she can’t [C] explain


be[G]neath the covers, she [F] sets her loving heart [C] free


Slower


she’s [G]beneath the covers, [F] chasing her desti[C]ny


very slow 


be[G]neath the covers, she [F] sets her loving heart [C] free

Re: Beneath the covers (re-write )

Your wording and verse are almost shakespearean or romantic/classical, beautiful. It will be interesting to hear your treatment as I feel its more poetic than musical. Great job.     

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