Topic: Ghost Town Heart
Since there isn't much action going on in the forum of late, I figured I write something to try to spur a little activity.
So here is a country song I wrote.
“Ghost Town Heart” By Jim Kenyon
Verse 1:
[G]Lit like neon on Main Street,we [C ]were burning in the rain
[Em7] our reckless hearts dancin' [D] like a runaway train
[G] but windows are shattered [C]where love used to stay
[Em7]and tumbleweeds are rollin’ [D]through our yesterday
.
Chorus:
[C]My heart feels like a ghost town, [G]so empty and dry
[D]Boarded-up dreams where [C]we used to [G] lie
[C]The bars are all closed up[G] the jukebox don’t play
[D]silence and shadows at the [C]end of the [G]day
[C]Where laughter once echoed, [G] there ain't any sounds
'cept the [D] cold wind whisperin' through [C] this ol' ghost[G] town
.
Verse 2:
[G]church bells used to ring out, now [C] no one even cares
[Em7] train station's quiet, it’s just [D]rust and broken stairs
[G] lonely, empty streets - all the [C] lights have burned out
[Em7] ain't no voices, no laughter [D] only fear and doubt
.
Chorus:
[C]My heart feels like a ghost town, [G]so empty and dry
[D]Boarded-up dreams where [C]we used to [G] lie
[C]The bars are all closed up[G] the jukebox don’t play
[D]silence and shadows at the [C]end of the [G]day
[C]Where laughter once echoed, [G] there ain't any sounds
'cept the [D] cold wind whisperin' through [C] this ol' ghost[G] town
,
Verse 3
[G]lives built on hopes and dreams now[C] lost on forgotten roads
[Em7]Don’t know how it slipped away [D]into the great unknown
[G]still drive through now and then, [C]there's no love found anywhere
[Em7] just heartbreak and memories [D]that haunt the midnight air
.
Chorus:
[C]My heart feels like a ghost town, [G]so empty and dry
[D]Boarded-up dreams where [C]we used to [G] lie
[C]The bars are all closed up[G] the jukebox don’t play
[D]silence and shadows at the [C]end of the [G]day
[C]Where laughter once echoed, [G] there ain't any sounds
'cept the [D] cold wind whisperin' through [C] this ol' ghost[G] town
.
outgo
.
[C] Yeah, my heart's now a ghost town, [G]stuck in the past
and [D] I’m just a drifter , chasing [C]love that couldn't [G]last
.
play slower
.
yeah,[D] I’m just a drifter , chasing [C]love that couldn't [G]last
Arpeggio on the last G
The price of anything, is the amount of life you exchange for it. - H.D. Thoreau
Your vision is not limited by what your eye can see, but what your mind can imagine.
Make your life count, and the world will be a better place because you tried.
"Use the talents you possess, for the woods would be very silent if no birds sang except only the the best." - Henry Van Dyke
