Topic: you rescued me

here is my latest effort, really slow internet connection here a work so it might be a few days before I can get the recording uploaded to sound cloud
open for comments



(Em) sang a(C) song(G) that nobody(D) heard
(Em)broke the(C) silence (G)with out a(D) word
(Em)traveled a (C)road(G) with no where to(D) go
(Em)settled a (C)debt (G)that nobody(D) owed

chorus
(G)you came a(C)long and rescued(D) me
(G)gave my (C)life some(D) sanity
(C)saved me(G) from myself(D) it was you and no(Em) one else and
for(C) that I will(D) love you for eterni(G)ty

played a game that couldn't be won
fired a shot without a gun
dreamed a dream but did not sleep
shed a tear but could weep

chorus

i made a promise I could not keep
climbed a hill it was to steep
made a wish there was no hope
needed a life line there was no rope

chorus

reached for a world I could not hold
cast a shadow and broke the mold
asked for solace but could not forgive
i lived a life but did not live

chorus

out of tune out of key and out of touch

Re: you rescued me

That's nice. I'm looking froward to hearing you play it.

Thanks Chordie for the years of music and advise.

Dang Mojo, that hits the mark! Like to hear you play it.

Live in the "now" - a contentment of the moment - the past is gone - the future doesn't exist - all we ever really have is now and it's always "now".

Re: you rescued me

well done Mojo -   very meaningful - flows really well -- anticipating a hit when you get ' er done!!
It has a Bob Dylan mystic to the meanings
