I was watching a really old  movie and the narrator said - "he walked away and she let him go"

I grabbed my notebook and wrote that down and just kept writing - this is what I came up with....


Foolish Hearts By Jim Kenyon


[D]He never said how he [G]felt


He [D]never felt a need to [A]say


It was[D] hard to tell if it was [G]real


but he [A] said we’ll talk another[D] day






[D]And there never was a[G] later


It [D]never happened even [A]once


He [D]walked away, and she [G]let him go


Hopeless[A] faith in a feigned [D]front


.




Chorus



[G]Oh foolish hearts, oh foolish hearts


Oh [D]don’t let your let pride get in the way


Oh [G]foolish hearts, oh foolish hearts


Don’t let your [A]dreams go astray




[G]Oh foolish hearts, foolish hearts


You know [D]diamonds can turn to dust


Oh [G]foolish hearts, foolish hearts


please be[A] careful of whom you [D]trust




.






[D]And that’s exactly how it[G] ended


Reckless [D]pride right from the [A]start



Yeah she [D]thought things might work [G]out


just [A] careless hoping on her [D] part


[D]It was something how she [G]loved him


never [D]can be understood by a [A]man


Ro[D]mance is only for the [G]truest hearts


Every[A]one else does the best they [D]can


.




Chorus




[G]Oh foolish hearts, oh foolish hearts


Oh [D]don’t let your let pride get in the way


Oh [G]foolish hearts, oh foolish hearts


Don’t let your [A]dreams go astray




[G]Oh foolish hearts, foolish hearts


You know [D]diamonds can turn to dust


Oh [G]foolish hearts, foolish hearts


please be[A] careful of whom you [D]trust


out go




Oh [G]foolish hearts, foolish hearts


please be[A] careful of whom you [D]trust


Oh [G]foolish hearts, foolish hearts


Be[A] careful of whom you [D]trust


Slower


Be[A] careful of whom you [D]trust

Nice song Neo - sounds good.
I had not heard that song , although I have heard Dylan's and Neil Young's songs of the same title.

Thanks for sharing it.

It looks and sounds pretty good in the video ( the player looks real good!:)  )
a lot of the reviews on different sites are not so good on the tonewood amp.
Most said the batteries wear out fast.
It sells from 200 to 290 dollars -
probably pretty cool for beach player or busker (although several of the reviews said it wasn't loud enough for busking)
I'd like to have one if I was a serious musician I think

Thanks for sharing

I would just like to say that some people are busy and have to step away sometimes, some have some issues to deal with, some go on vacation, some have tech issues and can't get on.some just need a break.
I have experienced all of these at some point. I am not sure about what Zurf wrote about over moderation, as I have not had any issues personally with that.
I have seen an outpouring of compassion and care to members when needed - which is awesome.


Chordie is a really great site in my humble opinion.  Thank you to all of the people here - I really appreciate you !

Good luck with the guitar, I hope all goes well for you.

I was wondering since you are an accomplished guitarist with a lot of experience..... what are the major differences between a Gibson and an Epiphone  Les Paul model ?
Also wondering what's the difference between Guitar Center and Sweetwater - they always seem to have the same prices ?
Thanks

Thanks Jets and TF
I appreciate the honesty - it truly helps someone like me that struggles with the music part ( that sounds strange seeing that this a musical forum named Chordie! smile )
I went back and changed the chords and a few lyrics  ( as you can see above.)
I went to a different progression and modified it to fit.

It's easier to play and sing.

Thanks again for your help this version really works for me.
Jim

Woke up this morning -  and had this idea in my head about  when people meet the crossroad - and have to decide whether or not to fall in love again.

Lost Lover’s Lullaby by  Jim Kenyon


[G]there’s a part of her [D]heart that’s off [Am] limits


oh [G]someone, somewhere [D]broke it in her [C]past


[G] hard to offer her [D]innocence [Am]again


as [C]somehow the love and [D]pain both seem to [G]last




.


Chorus


But she [C]smiles when she hears that tender love song [G] play


just an [C]old tune that reminds her of better [G]days


makes her [C]wonder if she’ll give love another [G] try


Well you [D]know it’s just a [C]lost lover’s lulla[G]by


yeah you [D]know it’s just a [C]lost lover’s lulla[G]by




.


[G]Alone and confused, it's [D] hard to find her [Am]way


she[G] still doesn’t under[D]stand what went [C]wrong


[G]All she wanted was [D] someone that she could [Am]trust


but [C]now she hides her heart and [D] tries to be[G] strong




.


Chorus (2x)



But she [C]smiles when she hears that tenderlove song [G] play


just an [C]old tune that reminds her of better [G]days


makes her [C]wonder if she’ll give love another [G] try


Well you [D]know it’s just a [C]lost lover’s lulla[G]by


yeah you [D]know it’s just a [C]lost lover’s lulla[G]by




.




yea she [C]smiles when she hears that tenderlove song [G] play

Brick and Mortar BEAMER and TIGLJK


Brick & Mortar




Verse 1




[G]Brick and mortar, oh they build those walls,


[Em]they block a heart whenever love calls


[C]Diamonds are forever but they can’t pay the toll.


[D]as iron forged from earth, wraps around my soul.




Verse 1




[G]Oh Brick and Mortar they can’t block the pain.


[Em]from the heartacheof being alone again


[C]Memories won’t let me practice what I preach


[D]They leave me searching for what’s out of reach




.


Chorus




[C] so take my hand and walk with me


[G] open up your soul and set it free


[C] smash these walls that keep us apart


[D]open your eyes, n’ feel with your heart



[C]end the pain that our hearts feel


[G]that only time and truth reveal


[C]find a way to smile from inside.



[D] tear downs the walls that[C] make us [G]cry


   


(Repeat second verse)




[G]Oh Brick and Mortar they can’t block the pain.


[Em]from the heartache of being alone again


[C]Memories won’t let me practice what I preach


[D]They leave me searching for what’s out of reach




Chorus




[C] so take my hand and walk with me


[G] open up your soul and set it free


[C] smash these walls that keep us apart


[D]open your eyes, n’ feel with your heart



[C]end the pain that our hearts feel


[G]that only time and truth can heal


[C]find a way to smile from inside.


[D] tear downs the walls that[C] make us [G]cry




outgo ( a little slower)




yeah, tear downs the walls that [C]make us [G]cry


yeah, tear downs the walls that [C]make us [G]cry

$290  new - it better be good. The you tube demo I watched on it  was amazing.

If I could sing - I'd get one!  smile

Beamer
I agree with Phill and CG - great little poem. It contains a lot of imagery and self-reflection.
I think a great title would come from the line " Maybe Tomorrow",
If done in your genre, it would suit it like  a metal amalgam perfectly!
This poem is like a seeing glass into your mind set. Hope you get out of the floccinaucinihilipilification
[flok-suh-naw-suh-nahy-hil-uh-pil-uh-fi-key-shuhn] funk soon as you have so much to offer.
I was thinking yesterday that you should get one of those blank journal books and put one of your songs / poems-  one each - on a page - then when you get to the last page and fill it - close the book and move on - just a way of setting a goal and maybe finding a path to healing.
