Topic: south west philly pride (3 replies, posted in Poems)
I remember like it was yesterday
heading down to Finnegans pool
me and all my friends from around the way
man we broke all the rules
the tragedy in 1984
the day that Barneys flagpole fell
we made it through that day and many more
our hearts cried as we said farewell
SouthWestPhilly pride
comes from deep inside
man it's something I can't explain
a small community
more like a family
will we ever go home again
All the nights spent at St. Mary's dance
water ice behind the park
head up to the ave to ;shop for clothes
drinking beer down Penrose park
the truck that came around giving rollercoaster rides
wishing those days would never end
new years day on Broad st. is where you can find
200 mummers from Finnegans
SouthWestPhilly pride
comes from deep inside
man it's something I can't explain
a small community
more like a family
will we ever go home again
Pizza Villa on a summer night
then take a cruise out on the streets
head down to Craze make sure you're looking right
Pretzel park is where we'll meet
Eddie's cafe to go and watch the game
crazy Annie at J&N's
where I live now it just don't feel the same
I miss my home I mis my firends
SouthWestPhilly pride
comes from deep inside
man it's something I can't explain
a small community
more like a family
will we ever go home again
you guys won't understand most of this but it's about where I grew up,it's now a war zone and we have all moved away

Topic: public song books on chordie (7 replies, posted in Acoustic)
just looked through the public songbooks section and in the absolute beginer heading there are songs with "F" AND "B" ? I have been playing for about 16 months and can do an F but barely. To put songs with these chords in them in the absolute beginner section is mislabeling them to say the least

Topic: Help me write a song (10 replies, posted in Acoustic)
I wrote a song for my girlfriend,lyrics really ,but no music. Her birthday is on Halloween and I would love to surprise her by singing it for her. I am a beginner guitar player so no (F) OR (B) chords. here are the lyrics and I am open to any and all suggestions. Keep in mind that although I have been married Denise has made me feel loved for the first time in my life. here is a picture of her and I.
If I lost you
the sun would never come up over my horizon
if i lost you
the rains would have no end
if I lost you
the days would just flow into one another
if I lost you
the skies would all go dim
your love is like air
it gives my body life
but it's more than an emotion
without it I will die
my sweet Denise
don't you know that it's you I need
so lucky to have you
your love is like a planted seed
and it's taken it's root in me
if I lost you
there would be no colors just black and white
if I lost you
the seasons would never change
if I lost you
I would grow old alone in my mirror
if I lost you
nothing would be the same
your love is like air
it gives my body life
but its more than an emotion
without it I would die
my sweet Denise
don't you know that it's you I need
so lucky to have you
your love is like a planted seed
and it's taken it's root in me

the first song I learned how to play and sing was "a horse with no name " by America. 2 chords , simple pattern. after that it becomes easier and gets easier with every song.

As I sit here all alone
I think about the past
about our future and the plans we made , growin up
shouldve known they couldnt ever last
its been too many years
since youre gone
and I still find it hard to believe
my best friend only 21
had your whole life to live so why'd you have to leave
I can picture you smile
and still hear you laugh
etched and recorded in the back of my head
I believe I will see you again
What do you do when all your dreams have been shred?
you were the brother that I never had
we were just like family
with this song I am saying good bye
I'll have to live off of my memories
Until I can see you again
As I sit here all alone
I think about the past

Topic: shivers (0 replies, posted in Poems)
one look of her eyes
puts me at ease
she brightens my world with just a smile
one touch of her hand
I'm down on my knees
I think I'll stay here for a while
the smell of hair
the sound of her voice
she makes me feel like i matter
I tried to forget her
But I have no choice
when she walked away I was shattered
to hear her name
sends a shiver down my spine
days go by
she is always on my mind
I just wish
to see her one more time
just so I could say
I love you
I see her now
with somebody new
I wondere if she thinks about me
I sit here
not knowing what to do
my life surrounded by despondencey
to hear her name
sends a shiver down my spine
days go by
she is always on my mind
I just wish
to see her one more time
just so I could say
I love you
one touch of her hand
I'm, down on my knees
I think I'll stay here for a while

hi tommydone,
thanks for your poem. the last line is a bit disconcerting; "..admit my crime"? there are no criminals on chordie unless your a spammer, and weve had our fair share of those lately. so welcome to poems and i look forward to seeing more of your lyrical, entertaining and discriptive poems.
phill
bt admit my crime I mean admit to myself the wrongs I have done to others.

Topic: "F" chord is now outlawed (148 replies, posted in Acoustic)
you are no longer allowed to put the "f" chord in any songs and all songs that contain it shall be destroyed as it is not humanly possible to play this chord. If you are caught playing this chord you will be deemed a mutant and escorted to a research facility by the United States Army. Once there you will be poked and proded to figure out what kind of mutation you have that enables you to play that damned chord.
there are laws being passed as we speak to also outlaw the "B" chord.Thank you
