Topic: Satin Hearts

I was inspired to write this after listening to Roger Guppys,
Lovely Valentines Song.
You could say this is the other side of the coin so to speak!
as ive said here so many times" We makes our Choices"
i am a very happy Old Doll..    Its sung quietly.
Its finger picked all through, ending with an extra few picks on the last chord
and a soft strum across the strings to finish. Thank You.

Satin Hearts by Helena Donovan


Verse 1:


[G]Strangely scented satin[C] hearts


[G]I love you painted [D] red,


[G]For so long the postie[C] brought


[D]In my teen—age [G] years.




[G]Roses are red violets are[C] blue


[G]Sending all my love to [D]you


[G]Can you guess who this might[C] be?


[D]My kiss awaits your [G] call.




[G]The heady days of life to[C] be



[G]Planning years in my [D] head


[G]Home and comfort is my[C] bed


[D]I dreamt on satin [G] pillows. [G/B]


[Em]Married love scary [Am] bliss


[D7]My satin hearts I always [G] missed


[Em]This loving day no special [Am] words


[D7]No satin hearts for [G] me.


[G]A simple card with I love[C] you


[G]wedded now it had no [D] worth


[G]No feeling etched in satin[C] now


[G]My chosen Valen [D] tine spelt [G] hurt.

Bless your heart.

Awesome tune.

Re: Satin Hearts

Gorgeous.

Is everybody melancholy these days or is it just me imagining it? Lets have a happy ending, I wish a happy ending for everyone.

Tell me, did you come up with the title first and write the song around it? I sometimes do that, but I dont think I could come up with such a great title Satin Hearts triff!!!

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

Re: Satin Hearts

Thank you all as always,

Phil! I  used to get Valentine Cards from admirers with padded satin hearts.
they were always in boxes. When you opened the box it always  held a strange scent/ perfume. It must have been a  marketing ploy of that time.
When i think about Valentines Day they always come to mind.

Thank You for your interest.

Old Doll.

Re: Satin Hearts

Now you come to mention it a bell rings. Have a happy Valentines day.
PS. sounds just as good on piano as the guitar, love to hear you do it though, see how close I got!

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

Re: Satin Hearts

Hi Helena,

Your song only needs a one word reply - "Just Beautiful"

As always, amazing Old Doll. Love the ending,

[G]My chosen Valen [D] tine spelt [G] hurt.

Great choice of words. For some reason I can't sing and fingerpick at the same time, but I'll do my best big_smile
Take it easy,
