Topic: You've Captured My Heart

Here is a song I wrote a while back, but didn't post back then. For some reason I had this music on my mind this morning so I decided to share. I like it because it is short, uncomplicated, easy to relate to, and has a bit of variety in the music, and the way the lyrics are laid out. Here is a link to the scratch recording (https://soundcloud.com/jets60/youve-captured-my-heart) and the lyrics & chords are below. Feel free to give it a ride if you like.

You’ve Captured My Heart by Jeff Gilpin



August 6, 2013




Intro – finger picking in D




I haven’t a [G]clue what you see


When [G]you look at me


In fact my dear I really couldn’t care [D]less


Because when [D7]I look into your eyes


It’s [D7]always a big surprise


My guilty pleasure I must con[G]fess


I know [G7]others see it too


By the [G7]way they look at you


And the [C]appreciative looks I see their [Cm]eyes


[G]Now don’t get me wrong


Thought my [D]feelings are strong


My [Em]jealousy was finished from the [C]start


Because my [C]dear


It’s quite [D]clear


You’ve captured my [G]heart [D]





Bridge

[E]Now just let me say on those times you are away


[A]Thinking of you takes me to the moon


And our [D]endless days of living happily ever after


[G]Makes me hope and pray you’ll come back [D]home real soon


guitar solo chords [E] [A] [D] [G] [D] [D7]


I [G]can’t wait to see you more


But when you [D]knock on my door


Remember I’ve [Em]counted the days we’ve been a[C]part


Because my [C]dear


It’s crystal [D]clear


You’ve captured my [Em]heart


Yes my [C]dear


It’s really [D]clear


You know you’ve captured my [G]heart

Re: You've Captured My Heart

It reminds me of a song about someone who's been lucky enough to "marry up." That's definitely my situation--as my wife will tell you.  My favorite section of the song is that G   D   Em   C progression . . . simple, but it sounds so good.

Re: You've Captured My Heart

Thanks Artie. Yep, and I am in a similar "married up" situation.

Re: You've Captured My Heart

Hi Jeff,

It's been awhile for me to be on board as I have no net at home...I'm at work. I'll have a listen when it gets a little quieter here, meanwhile I really like the lyrics on this as I can relate to them bigtime. smile

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

Re: You've Captured My Heart

sounds good jets,I played it a little slower and finger picked it and it seems too sound a little better.

Re: You've Captured My Heart

Thanks Dino...I agree, but I just wanted to get something out so people could sync the words with the chords properly. I think lots of my songs sound better when played slower.
