.......let me know what ya'll think....................
These are the base chords but there's a pretty cool riff i made up but can't write out playing behind the basic chords during the song with add-ins of leads here and there.....
“Lips of An Angelâ€
copywright: Blake Stitcher
Intro: G, D, Em, C
Verse 1:
G D
When it’s early in the morning and my body is fast asleep,
Em C D
My heart’s thoughts wander, and it’s you girl that I see.
G D
In the mist of my dreams I stare, to catch the memories I’ve seen us share,
Em C
I’ve seen the first time our lips met, and I knew right then
D
and there.
Chorus:
G D
My heart’s been stolen by the lips of an angel
Em C
I never want it back, it belongs to her anyway,
G D
What I wish for most and what my soul wishes to steal
Em C D
Is what saved me all along, just a kiss, from the lips of an
G
angel.
D, Em, C
Verse 2:
G D
While a warm breeze blows across my windowsill frame,
Em C D
I see a candle’s flame flicker, but stays lit just the same.
G D
Through the wind of tough times, can our flame stand the test?
Em C
I know, I know, I’ve seen our love, light my candle with a
D
kiss.
Chorus
Bridge:
Em C G
Fly my heart away angel, but keep it safe with you to stay
D
Em C
It’s safer in your care and off of my sleeve, it belongs to
D G
you anyway ay, ay, yeah
Chorus

Thank you all so much for your compliments!!!!!!!! They mean a lot more than you know! thank for the outro insrumental chords compliments....i wsn't really sure how ya'll would think the'd flw with the rest of the song....
last rebel, the B to A to G thing goes like this.....you are playin a c chord rigt before you start those three so make a C chord, then lift up your 4th finger then hit down on 2nd fret on 5th string(like a Bm Chrd) then release that hit an open A note and then hit G chord.....its more of a follow down with one note than the actual chord itself.......and yeah haha no one comented on the Capo chords on mine.....
once again thank you to everyone...

Yes, yes i know that the song is in capo I and that the chord names are different when capoed in a different fret....for the sake of time and easy reading, play the chords as you would without it capoed.........please, good or bad criticism is always welcome....i learn by people's criticism so in a round-about way, you're helpin me!
Jamie
Copywrite:Blake Stitcher
CAPO: I
Intro: G, F, C, F, G, F,C, F, G,
Verse 1:
G F
Jamie was a girl that I knew in school,
C F
Hangin’ out and actin’ like we were cool.
G F
Not payin' attention to what all was goin’ on,
C F
And I’d smile to myself when she would call.
G F
Livin’ college life without a care in the wind,
C F
Whenever this crazy world seemed to be closin’ in.
G F
But I would trade any moment in time,
C D
If she could ever be there by my side.
Chorus:
G F C G
And it’s crazy to think how I did without her laugh there with me,
G F C D
I’d cross the scorchin’ desert or swim across a stormin’ sea,
C B A G
But you know, It’d be worth it to love Jamie
G, F, C F, G
Verse 2:
It was sometime in my college sophomore year,
I wanted to skip town and get outta’ here.
I wasn’t sure where I’d go or what I’d see,
But you know it wouldn’t be worth it without Jamie.
So I decided to stick around for a little longer while,
I didn’t want to miss out on her gorgeous smile.
So I unpacked my bags and opened up my heart,
For mine and Jamie’s new fresh start
Chorus
Instrumental Outro: Em, C, G Em, C, D Em, C, G Em, F, C, G

Good Job!Well, no. Not for me. With the group I play in, the only songs to which I know the words are the ones I wrote. Everything else is "lalalalalalalala"
For me, it's the music that matters. Lyrics are completely interchangeable.
well lat ti da for you jerome......that's your opinion and your as welcome to it as i am to mine.... sure the chords and riffs in a song are supposed to set the tone of the work of music or song in many cases, but in the words of someone i heard one time......"If you can't say what you mean, then you can't mean what you say"...lyrics are the direct representation of how one feels and it is shown in how they are sung and how a song is worded..............sometimes what you say is more important than how the chords flow.....if a song relies on sound alone to speak for the artist then what is the point of trying to say anything at all????

Topic: Forever Hold My Peace (4 replies, posted in Songwriting)
An interesting take on a wedding and a guy's love for a woman.............tell me what you think!!!
Intro: E, A/F#, A, B7
Verse 1:
E A/F# A
When I look at you in your wedding gown I see what it is
B7
I wish I could be,
E A/F# A
When I hear your name called I freeze.
E A/F# A B7
I wish today that you could see how it is I care and how I’ve
dreamed,
E A/F# A
That one day up this aisle you’d be mine.
Bridge:
A E
But as you hold that guy’s hand and now at the altar you stand,
A/F# A
Before God and man to give your name away.
Chorus:
E A/F#
Baby I have to speak up now forever I could not hold my peace,
E A
I’m gonna’ lay it all down on the line so that everyone can see,
E A/F# A B7
I can’t sit still and watch you girl just give your heart away,
E A/F# A B7
So I’m not gonna’ forever hold my peace when I have so much
E
left to say.
Verse 2:
Sitting here now in this church pew alone seeing you standing there in front of us all,
I wish I was the one giving you that ring today.
And if I don’t stand up for it all now before it’s too late,
That golden ring is gonna’ take my last chance away.
Chorus
Bridge:
A E
And though it is I know what my heart wants to do, I look at him
and then I look at you,
A/F# B7
Then the preacher asks if anyone has anything to say.
Closing Chorus:
But baby I’m not gonna’ speak up now, forever I’ll have to hold my peace,
I’m not gonna’ lay it all down on the line because finally I see
That I want you to be happy no matter what that takes
So I’m gonna’ sit tight and hold my breath as I forever hold my peace today.

Topic: When You Were My World (4 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Just a simple song about the love i have for the women in my life, first my mother, then my wife i'll have later down the road, and then to my daughter i hope to have one day. I'm twenty but the last two in the song will have to wait for now.
Please Tell me what you think....
When You Were My WorldCopywrite: Blake Stitcher
Intro: D, A, D7, G, Gm, D, A7, D
Verse 1:
[D] I learned to crawl, then I [A] learned to walk, I [D7] learned
to cry fore’ [G]I could talk,
I was [Gm] standing on top of the [D]world ,And only [E7] two
feet [A7]high.
You were [D]always there with a [A] helping hand, And [D7]
pullin’ me up to [G]help me stand,
And [Gm]always trying to [D]teach me,[E7]Right from [A]wrong.
Bridge1:
But [Bm]time wore on and I [G]got a little older,
But your [D]hand was always there for me [A7]high up on my shoulder
Chorus:
When you were my [D]world[A]and [D7] all I’d ever [G] need
The [Gm] one I’d love for-[D]-everand the [E7] only one for [A7] me
To [D] wrap my arms [A] around to [D7]hold you so I could [G]say
You are my [Gm] world, my [D] everything, my [A7]night and my [D]day.
Verse 2:
I got big and went off to school, I made some friends and
thought I was cool,
Living on top of the world again, And loving the college life.
I met a girl and we fell in love, She was all that I could think of
And we’ve been together For about three years now.
Bridge 2:
Then one night at a local restaurant,
I popped the big question and told her how I felt,
Chorus2:
(Cause she was) my world and all I’d ever need
The one I’d love forever and the only one for me
To wrap my arms around to hold you so I could say
You are my world, my everything, my night and my day.
Verse 3:
Two years went by and I found out, what being a dad was all about
Dirty smelling diapers at times was more than I could take.
But my little girl with ribbons pink, is always telling me what she thinks
And holdin’ daddy’s hand is still the coolest thing.
Bridge 3:
But time wore on and you got a little older,
But my hand was always there for you high up on your shoulder
Chorus 3:
Cause you are my world world and all I’ll ever need
The one I’ll love forever and the only one for me
To wrap my arms around to hold you so I could say
You are my world, my everything, my night and my day.

Re: Treasure. (10 replies, posted in Songwriting)
To put it simply, The Best! Your language is some of the most beautiful i have ever read. Your thoughts and lyrics are so meaningful. You are the best example to fit the quote i heard somewhere "If you can't say what you mean, you can't mean what you say!" You can do both and you always seem to mean what you say!
