Hey Ray and Dan - Yeah this you really need to hear and I will record it. Just getting over a cold I go traveling but  I will get to it.

Dan - I'll check out My Mind is on You. It's tough having your kids go off to the military and to war. I sure hope all this is resolved before your daughters have to go over.

Ray - I just had a wonderful trip with him visiting the wife's side of the family. I missed that side of the action as well but would have traded it in a minute to keep him from having to go.

Just a song relating to my visit to see all my family on my wife’s side that has taken actually a little longer than ten years since I last visited them. It is somewhat of a shock to see all that happens in that amount of time and takes quite a bit of catching up. I will try and make sure I keep my visits less infrequent. I hope you like the song.

On my vacation we stayed with my wife’s sister, Yumiko in Ayase. Ayase is one of the many cities that make up suburban Tokyo. I had the pleasure of meeting my nieces, Honika and Hisako and my nephew Yoshinori for the first time on this visit. Yoshinori is the youngest and he is like a little energizer bunny that never stops so he’s a chore to put to bed at night so I promised Yumiko to write a song that might help so here it is. If you want to learn more about Ayase here is a link and I’m sure there are more:

I just returned from vacation in Japan and was intrigued by all the music I heard over there. This song is mostly about the music and the lyrics come from me observing my wife a bit while I was over there. Anyway I hope you all like it and if anyone has a title suggestion I'm open.

Intro


[G] [Dm] [Am]


Verse 1


[Am]I saw you once a long time ago


[Dm]Lost in thought about [Am]some idea you caught


[Am]You seemed on the verge of a grin


But it [G]turned into a [Dm]frown in the [Am]end




Chorus 1


I [Dm]wondered what you were [Am]thinking of


I[Dm] wondered what had changed your [G]mood


[Am]I wondered what to say to you


But [G]I decided [Dm]not to in[Am]trude




Verse 2


[Am]Many years have come and gone


[Dm]Memories galore I’m [Am]sure there’ll be more


[Am]Today I remembered you standing there



And [G]all I could [Dm]do was just [Am]stare




Chorus 2


[Dm]What if I had walked up [Am]to you


I [Dm]wonder what you’d have [G]said


It’s [Am]difficult to know another’s thoughts


It’s [G]difficult to [Dm]know another’s [Am]head




Verse 3


[Am]Now today again I’m watching you


[Dm]And I saw you frown with [Am]no one else around


[Am]I almost asked you what the frown was for


But [G]once again [Dm]I choose to ig[Am]nore




Chorus 3


To [Dm]me it means more when it’s a [Am]mystery


As I [Dm]ponder what’s going on inside your [G]mind


[Am]What thought could ever erase you pretty smile


Here’s [G]hoping another thought [Dm]brings it back in [G]time[Dm] [Am]

Thank you all for your kind words and comments
James I'll pass it on to him and thanks
Reb - I agree. My son volunteered and knew what he was getting into. I didn't want him to. I didn't want him to place himself in danger but he did what he thought was right and I support him on his decision, though I worry about him a lot. My son Tim is a bridge crew member in the US Army and while it is not in the most dangerous field in the military he is, like many of our sons and daughters, over there in a war zone where sometimes bad things happen and I want him home safe as soon as he is done with what I hope is his last tour there. I cannot imagine how the mothers and father of the soldiers who routinely go out on patrols keep from worrying themselves sick.
Toney - Thanks you for your comments. I could never have started writing if it wasn't for chordie and all my fellow chordie friends. I think I did a good job on this one too and like I said to Jason I plan on recording it when I get some time. I just wish I could sing it and play it exactly how I hear it in my head where I never make a mistake and am always on key. smile Gainesville is just west of Manassas and where I live is on the edge of Haymarket just off I-66. It’s almost like the mountains but not quite
Daddy - Thank you I like it too
Helena - Thank you for your words and your prayer for my son.

You’ll Come Back Home By Jeff Gilpin


October 11th, 2007




Intro


[Bm]x4




Verse 1


The[Bm] time is almost here


That time that’s [G]filled me with [Bm]dread


Kept trying to [G]keep it out of my [Bm]head


But it keeps [A]returning[Asus4] [A]




Verse 2


Like looking [Bm]out on a foggy day


It’s all so [G]shapeless at first [Bm]glance


But when you [G]give your eyes a [Bm]chance


You’ll catch [A]details [Asus4] [A]




Chorus


It’s [D]clearer now


Closer to the [A]time


That you go a[G]way


Not for a [A]crime


Just to [D]serve


And one [A]day


You’ll come back [G]home




Verse 3


You’d [Bm]think it’d be old hat


That we’d be [G]stronger this time [Bm]round


There’d be no sur[G]prises to be [Bm]found


And that we’d be [A]ready[Asus4] [A]




Verse 4


But it’s like we’re [Bm]playing a dangerous game



Only it’s a [G]game that’s absent of [Bm]fun


Where there’s [G]nothing to be [Bm]won


Only your sur[A]vival[Asus4] [A]




Chorus


It’s [D]clearer now


Closer to the [A]time


That you go a[G]way


Not for a [A]crime


Just to [D]serve


And one [A]day


You’ll come back [G]home




Verse 5


If this [Bm]world could be made fair


I could [G]do your time for [Bm]you


[G]Double if they asked me [Bm]to


And I’d do it [A]smiling[Asus4] [A]




Verse 6


Be[Bm]cause when you’re away


Every [G]single day you’re [Bm]gone


It seems the [G]days are twice as [Bm]long


And the nighttimes [A]longer [Asus4] [A]




Chorus


It’s [D]clearer now


Closer to the [A]time


That you go a[G]way


Not for a [A]crime


Just to [D]serve


And one [A]day


You’ll come back [Bm]home

Hey James - thanks -I'm lucky the wife lets me freelance a little to put her to sleep. It's where I get a lot of my musical ideas. I too like this chord progression and want to hear how it sounds recorded as well. I'm getting a bit of a long que going though so I'll have  to pick and choose.

Hey Helena - I was just about to give up when I actually used a trick James had mentioned in the past, by turning the frustration around on itself and writing about it. He's still the king in my mind but thanks.

This is another little melody I got from playing my wife to sleep, like sleepy time song I wrote awhile back. For the life of me I couldn’t come up with the lyrics tonight until I let my difficulty coming up with the lyrics be the lyrics. Anyway, I hope you all like it. Play it slow and sleepy like you’re trying to drop someone off to sleep and you got it just about right.

[Am7]Will I end up smiling a [Dm7]silly grin


Or [F7]end up with a [Am7]tearful [D7]frown




Verse 2


I[D7]magination’s sometimes a silly thing


[Am7]Bringing on belly laughs until you [D7]cry

That [Am7]I thought I’d forgotten from my [D7]youth


[D7]Mountain streams on a moonlit night


[Am7]Watching shooting [F7]stars on the [D7]roof




Chorus


So [Am7]where will I go this [Dm7]evening


[F7]Which path will I meander [D7]down

Re[D7]calling old memories gets me drowsy


I[Am7]magining new ones stirs my [D7]head


So it’s [D7]off to write a song I hope’s not lousy


Then I [Am7]think that I will [F7]head on off to [D7]bed




Ending Chorus


So [Am7]where’d I go this [Dm7]evening


I [F7]didn’t travel far tonight it [D7]seems


[Am7]I’ll give it another go tomor[Dm7]row


But for [F7]tonight it’s off to i[Am7]magine in my [F7]dreams [Am7] [D7]

I was playing around with my guitar just after tuning it and was thinking how nice a tuned guitar sound just strumming the strings. It got me to thinking what a song would sound like based on those individual notes played as chords and I came up with the music below where you strum through the E and A and let the D ring out for the first line in the verse and chorus and then G and B and E the same way for the second line. It sounded pretty good to me so I thought of words and with my son going back over to the desert soon and the sound of the mix of chords I thought I would write this one for him. So Tim, if you read this, this song was written for you. I hope everyone else likes it as well.

Hey Dave - I wrote a song a while back about a similar experience I had when my cousin passed away. It is tough dealing with all the emotions and thoughts that are going on when you experience something like this and I think you've done your friend proud. I would really love to hear this one if you get the chance to record it.

My wife has been feeling guilty about being away lately. She has been playing lots of golf lately and since I am not into golf she’s out with other friends and not with me. She already tried to get me to play but I’d still rather play soccer or guitar, not necessarily in that order. Anyway here is a song for her letting her know she’s always with me. I hope you all like it as well.

Hey Daddy and Selso - I was really trying to come up with a lyrical idea to match the chords I was playing around with so I thought, "What should I write about?" That started me thinking how I should write a song that someone might be able to connect with like a few songs that have connected with me and that's pretty much where the idea came from. I also tried hard to suppress the urge I usually have so as not to overwrite the lyrics. Glad you like it and thanks.

Thanks Roger - I admit that I kind of cheat on the Bm and Gb by not barring them fully across but I'm working it and they still sound good when I cheat. You are right that it is a good barred sequence going from Bm to Gb I think.

Hey Zurf - Nice shots. I do have to get back up there sometime but I bet the fall colors are going to bring down everybody and their mother. I might try to head up ther before it gets too crowded.
