JEFF

i have played this through a few times - it has the making of a really fine country song - at least how that's how I play it.
It flows really nice and the lyric is top notch!
Well done
Can't wait tohear your version to see if it is similar to how I am playing it, but obviously better bc I can't play too well or sing a bit. smile

Thanks also for the keen  insight to bridge how weather can be impactful on one's mindset. 

Cool song man !

Sara is awesome
that cover of Dock of the bay is fantastic !
That led me to watch about 5 other videos of her. She is awesome.
Elton John said her cover of Yellow brick road was the best he had ever heard.
Thanks for sharing

If I could sing and play - and the people actually liked it - I would probably retire tomorrow

As a teacher and a coach I'm on stage pretty much every day - But istill would love to be able to get on stage and perform.

You folks are blessed with a special talent I will never have - enjoy it! smile

That is a very nice song - first I had ever listened to it.
My family has roots from Scotland - so today I asked him if he ever herd of it - he says oh yeah - our grampa used to sing it all the time.
I never knew that.

Thanks for sharing

TF 
Thanks for the kind words of support.

CTECH -as you can now see I just had to go back and put chorus differently - it was just bothering me. I'm not sure it made it better - but just sits better with me.

I appreciate both comments a lot.  Have a safe and Happy New Year.
Jim

P.S.  sorry it's such a "downer" of a song to end 2018 !  May better and wondererous  things to come  in 2019 !!!

Now, She Sleeps Alone  by  Jim Kenyon


At first I  couldn’t think of any musical way to change


the chords for the chorus.




So I just played the same sequence all the way through.


after waking up this morning - I changed it a bit so it has a chorus now with the chord sequence just a bit different.


.


I wrote it about a special circumstance, but I think it could fit a lot of stories




also - I changed the title  smile




Verse 1




[Am]There’s things that happen [Dm] in this life


which [Am] bring sorrow to your [E]soul


[Am]Things you’ll never [Dm]understand


And [E] things you can’t con[Am]trol




Chorus


[Dm] I know a girl as cold as ice


She [Am]has a heart of stone


She [E]never cries, she never smiles


and [Dm]now she [E]sleeps a[Am]lone




Verse 2


[Am]She once was my [Dm]own true love


and[Am] then she slipped [E]away


Oh [Am]such a caring [Dm]heart she had


I still [E]love her to this [Am]day




[Dm] [Am] [ E ] [Am]



[Dm] [Am] [ E ] [Am]




Verse 3


[Am]Her smile lit up [Dm]every room


But [Am]now that light is [E]gone


With[Am] hair so soft and [Dm]voice so sweet


lost [E] ‘tween darkness and the[Am] dawn




Chorus


[Dm] I know a girl as cold as ice


She [Am]has a heart of stone


She [E]never cries, she never smiles


and [Dm]now she [E]sleeps a[Am]lone




Verse 4


[Am]It seems as though the [Dm]sun should shine


and [Am]take away the [E] pain


My [Am]life, it seems so[Dm] empty now


and all I[E] feel is bitter [Am] rain






Chorus


[Dm] I know a girl as cold as ice


She [Am]has a heart of stone


She [E]never cries, she never smiles


and [Dm]now she [E]sleeps a[Am]lone




She [E]never cries, she never smiles


and [Dm]now she [E]sleeps a[Am]lone

Thanks Phill

detoxing from playing music ?

If so - it must be catching - I have been less than motivated this past week --- just hanging out with my fam and not missing the guitar at all.


Happy New Year !

That was interesting.
I am not convinced it is accurate however.
Listen to the Tommy Allsup interview and the Waylon Jennings interview -
Not at all the same version as Dion's.

I think as I listen to Dion's production,  - it seemed to me to be more about him than the depiction of the events.
Some really cool inside information though - I appreciate the link - I watched the entire thing.
The winter there must have been brutal   -25 degrees on a bus !

I was able to visit the Norm Petty Studio last year in Clovis New Mexico - actually sat in Buddy Holly's studio chair and held his Strat! ( I have pics if your are interested)
I also was privileged enough to meet and spend an hour talking with David Bingham - who was a back up singer for Holly on all of his early productions ( group was the Roses)
He was the coolest old guy- told me a bunch of really interesting and personal stories.  He said when they would drive with Buddy from Lubbock,Texas to Clovis, they would go as fast as they could - always trying to get there before they left.  The reason was the time zone change - if they could get there in less than an hour - mission accomplished. smile

anyway - very good post - Thanks my friend

I re-wrote some of the lyric - toned done the religious component a bit - I think its a little more amicable.
Changed a few of the chords and re-phrased the fit of some of the lyrics.
I like it a lot better
