hi alan

nice bit of work here my friend, an easy thing to make into a song these are the chords i came up with:-

verse; Am- Dm- Em-F-|| Am- Em- Dm- Em||

chorus;  Dm- Em- F-Am-|| Dm- Em- Am- F...||

the verse being the 5 line verses, the chorus being the 4 liner.

i can send you an MP3 in a few days if you'd like me to put the music to it, or i can forget it...no probs, if your going to do it yourself

still like it muchly

hi doc,

hi-brow poetry it aint, but it does kinda remind me of the dialogue from some of those american soap opera's....[having a little chuckle to myself]

hi folks and a happy new year to you all,

i'd like o thank those of you who have bothered to comment and those who just look without saying anything...strange though it seems to me, but there ya go.

hi russ,

if you think it's good enough for sleeve notes...great!

south paw,

i agree, we would be better off with no religion, at best it's a way for pious people to vent their "goodness" at worst it's an excuse for killing as it has been for 4000 years...sorry to disappoint all you catholics who thought you invented ethnic cleansing! much as i dont want to say it, god is probably a man-made invention, for good intentions eg; laws etc...as there were no policemen 4000 years ago...thats my thoughts anyway!
i wasnt YELLING as such, when i write a piece, i type it into my computer in capitals to make it easier to read [as i'm a little blur sighted these days] i then copy and paste straight onto chordie, saves typing twice

ken, 

thanks, glad you like it. i guess the above answers you too

thank you roger,

it is a prayer of hope of peace, especially with whats going on out in Gaza at the moment, and of course all the other crap thats happening all over the world. one question would be; what started it all?
and the other; how do we stop it?
i'd like to believe that this CD were putting together could have a part in uniting the world and bringing something we have never known....P.E.A.C.E

hiyall
this is a new song today, i'm in the middle of recording it so i'll post it SAP. i actually do this in "F"
using a capo on the 5th frett, but i thought it might be easier if i posted it in "C". it's a simple bass run-down eg: C chord> Cchord with a B note bass etc.

thoughts please

This is not just a Christian thing but a prayer of hope for all people of all [or no] religions, after all if we all believe there is just one God, what does it matter how we worship that God? as long as we do


NEW YEARS PRAYER by Phill Williams

THE TIME HAS COME FOR GOOD TO REIGN
FOR HATE AND FEAR TO LOSE, NOT GAIN
FOR KILLING IN THE NAME OF GOD
TO STOP BECAUSE FOR GOD...IT'S NOT
FOR ONLY EVIL GAINS THROUGH SIN
NO MARTYR MADE WHEN INNOCENTS ARE KILLED
SOME LEADERS OF MEN USE GOD TO FEED
THEIR HUNGER FOR POWER, THEIR LUST, THEIR GREED

GOOD MEN ALL PLEASE TURN AWAY
FROM THE LIARS WHO PREACH THAT TERROR WILL PAY
AND KILLERS KILLED WILL LIVE AGAIN
IN PARADISE WITH GOD IN HEAVEN
WHETHER GOD EXISTS OR NO
MURDERERS WILL NEVER FIND HIS DOOR

BE GOOD IN ALL THE THINGS YOU DO
BE WISE; THE PATH YOU WALK BE TRUE
TAKE NO LIFE, OR WHAT'S NOT YOURS
TAKE HEED THE LAWS OF GOD, NATURE...AND PAUSE
YOU NEEDN'T LOVE OR TURN A CHEEK
JUST DON'T DESTROY THE ONE WHO'S WEEK
THE MAN WHO'S SKIN IS A DIFFERENT SHADE
THE ONE WHO PRAYES IN A DIFFERENT WAY

PUT DOWN THAT KNIFE THAT GUN THAT BOMB
FOR THEY HAVE REIGNED FOR FAR TOO LONG
WORSHIP IN THE WAY YOU CHOOSE
ACCEPT THAT OTHERS DO THAT TOO
AND PARADISE ONE DAY YOU'LL GAIN
FOR THE TIME HAS COME FOR GOOD TO REIGN

I like to listen to music, therefore I dont play music when I'm in company, because I want to hear the music, listen to the words and hear how an instrument is played and most of all why the producer didnt do his job.
I listen to music in the car on my way to gigs, when I can turn the volume up, and not have any one say "what the hell is that load of **** your listening to?"
Music is a public and a private thing, best listened to on your own in a crowd of like minded people... so dont talk to me while I'm listening.

That's what I think anyway, and that's what music is to me

Hi Peeps,

I'd like to throw my hat into the ring for this one, I had a similar idea in mind my self but  I wasnt sure how to broach the subject, so well done buvvy.
I think my strongest suit is lyrics, therefore I would be happy to donate some words, or any other resource I can offer, Russel knows how to use my rather dubious talents

for my part, thanks for all your great comments, it was a great pleasure and honour for me to be asked by kenny to take part in this truly world-wide team effort. lena's words do hold a magic and it was a pleasure to put my voice on the recording. well done to all contributors, specially kenny for his haunting theme.

hi jared,

i dont completely understand what your asking, i think the answer all the same is; if you have written words and have a tune in mind, how can you post it or make it sound more proffessional?

firstly, do you have a recording facility?, do you play an instrument?

if you dont play but can record, just record your song without any backing just voice, and ask if someone can transcribe it for you, there are many very talented musicians on this site that will help
down load it to my space, [or your myspace] and post the words, and musical help request on the recording section. i hope i'm not speaking out of turn, and other chordians wont get annoyed at me for saying this, but we are her to help each other?

thanks to all of your encouraging remarks

russ, thanks pal, it's great to have you as a friend and ally

helena, as i was writing this i could see all those pathe images you speak of, where the soldiers just sit in the plane or ship, and they are all so quiet, and you wonder what they're thinking about, their friends who died, their families waiting at home, i just had to put it down, thanks again

kenny, i checked now you check...lol. in actual fact, i'm working night shift this week, so i wrote it at about midday, noticed you email said 4. am? so who's the night owl?

hi ken, thanks, glad you like it

jerome,  when i wrote "men have always delighted in killing each other" what i meant was our leaders have always delighted in sending out the cannon fodder [us lower classes] to kill and be killed for their greater glory, but as you can see it wouldnt have fitted very well!
how many Victoria Crosses have been given out? and how many of the names can you remember?
we all remember churchill, bush, thatcher, hitler, or if you want to go further back, napoleon, csesar, hanibal, alexander, they all enjoyed the killing but where were they? safe at the back directing traffic. there are leaders and there are the lead, lets just hope our leaders arent as bloodthirsty and greedy as their predecessors

My bladder woke me this morning and when I got back into bed this was nagging me so I had to get-up put it down then record it in a matter of 3 hours. It deals with the feelings soldiers get as they come home from war, it's not just about the present conflict, but about the 1st and 2nd world wars and the Falkland conflict, and all the other wars before and since, and if you've a mind; back to time immemorial as men have always delighted in killing each other. That does not detract from the fact that these people that put their lives on the line for us are anything less than HERO'S, and I thank them for their sacrifice. It's in Waltz time

Silence of SoldiersUndefined


The silence of [F]soldiers


Coming home from the [Bb]war


They survived for their [Dm]loved ones


Made it safe for us [Gm]all


When the battle was [F]raging


Far away from their [Bb]home


All that kept their heart [Dm]beating


through the death and the [Gm]gore-[Bb]


Was the smiles on the [F]faces


Was the tears of [Am]relief


And the hugs and the [Bb]kisses


And the warmth of [Gm]release


That wars are all [Dm]over


That all men became [Bb]one


No more need for [Dm]destruction


Or the sword or the [Gm]gun-[C7]




chorus





And the silence of [F]soldiers


As they look through the [Dm]crowd


As they search for the [Gm]faces


for the ones that [F]survived


And they remember the [Gm]fallen-[Bb]


The ones that [Am]remained


[Dm]In the fields of des[Gm]truction-[Bb]


In the war hero's [F]grave




The silence of [F]soldiers


Coming home from the [Bb]war


As their children cry "[Dm]daddy, you can't leave us no [Gm]more"-[C7]


"Don't you leave us no more"-[F]


REPEAT CHORUS AND LAST VERSE
