I'm actually getting close to where I really like this song.
A few more practice days and I might learn the words. ( it would be easier if I would quit changing them ! smile  )

I won't record it bc it is a duet.  I may ask my friend and his wife to record it - they are pretty good. I just have to convince them it is a decent song.

I further edited this duet changed a few words and chords.

But sorry Phill - I only made a minor  change in that line
It is definitely written as a country song and I think it fits.
Maybe our Texas friend Mojo can give some input as to that line.

Thanks for checking it out .

It's Love That You Lose By Jim Kenyon





verse 1


.


( Man )


[D]Sitting by the [C]campfire, and my [G]guitar weeps so [D] sad


[D]As I dream of the[C] soft look that [G]her eyes once[D] had


[D] start singing 'bout a [C]love poem, that I [G]once knew by[D] heart


[D]but the meanings gone [C] missing, since [G] we’ve been a[D]part




verse 2


.


(Woman )


[D]I recall every [C] memory and I [G] still call out your[D] name


[D] you know my lonesome [C]heart just won’t [G]ever be the [D]same


[D]should’ve left love to[C] someone, who could [G]lose their wandering [D]boots


[D] someone to hold [C]every night and [G] put down some deeper [D]roots




.


Chorus


.


Ya’ know [C]someday we‘ll get to[G]gether, talk of [C]what we gave a [G]way (Woman)


and how[C] much that we [G]loved each other and [D]why we couldn't stay (Man )


Oh we [C]might talk ‘bout de[G]cisions we made, and that [C] fate was ours to [G]choose (together)


And the [C] cost of chasing [G] different dreams is the[D] love [C]that we [G] lose (together)







verse 3


.


[D] Oh those heartstrings and [C]feelings, they're so[G] hard to for[D]get (Man)


[D] the love we had is the [C] one thing that we [G]never could re[D]gret (Woman)


[D]It could have been so [C] different, but it [G] seems we’ll never [D]know(together)


[D]oh we should’ve known [C] better, than to [G]ever let love [D]go( together)


.


Chorus


.


Ya’ know [C]someday we‘ll get to[G]gether, talk of [C]what we gave a [G]way (Woman)


and how[C] much that we [G]loved each other and [D]why we couldn't stay (Man )


Oh we [C]might talk ‘bout de[G]cisions we made, and that [C] fate was ours to [G]choose (together)


And the [C] cost of chasing [G] different dreams is the[D] love [C]that we [G] lose (together)






And the [C] cost of chasing [G] different dreams is the[D] love [C] that we [G] lose (together)


(slow)


yeah, it's the[D] love [C] that we [G] lose (together)


yeah it's[D] fate that's [C] ours to [G] choose (together)


(real slow)


it's the[D] love [C] that we [G] lose (together)

Thanks -  I may give that a try as well.
As you know, I'm not much of a musician so most of the stuff I write is pretty basic.
If you happen to record it - I would love it if you would send it to me .

Thanks again !

So I thought I would start the new year off with a song I wrote this morning.
It's about a love that ended because of chasing dreams.
Sorry that I used the same chords for the chorus as I did with the verses - is that ok to do ?  It just sounded good tome and I'm not a good enough musician to come with something else smile
Comments appreciated. !


Bahaha - changed my mind, changed the title and switched up a verse and chorus....  just seemed better after playing it
