Topic: New Song : " When She Believed "

When She Believed By Jim Kenyon


Verse 1


.


[G]Just sixteen, a little confused un[C]sure who to turn to


[G]Mom’s so busy with herself, and [D]Dad doesn't seem to care


[C]Tried to think of happy things, but she [G]couldn’t be deceived


She was [D]hoping she could go back to [C]when she be[G]lieved


.


Chorus (1)


.


[G]That she could




[C] jump in the ocean and dance among the [G]waves


[C] spread her arms, and fly to the [G]moon,


[C]sleep under the stars, far from all of her [G] pain


And [D] dream of being [C] happy once a[G]gain


.


Verse 2




.


[G] but there was


[G] always something,that drove her [C] toward the edge


[G] whispers of doubt and fear, that [D]never went away


[C]she was crying for help, trying hard to [G] find some relief


She was [D]hoping she could go back to [C]when she be[G]lieved





Chorus (2)


.




[G]That she could


[C ] take a walk in the park, go barefoot in dewy[G] grass


[C]dance in the sand, and not be afraid to [G] laugh


[C] sing silly songs, and take risks without a [G]care


And [D] paint her desires on a [C] canvas made of [G]air


.


Repeat  Chorus (1)


.


[G]she wishes she could




[C] jump in the ocean and dance among the [G]waves


[C] spread her arms, and fly to the [G]moon,


[C]sleep under the stars, far from all of her [G] pain


And [D] dream of being [C] happy once a[G]gain


.


Outgo


She was


[D] dreaming of being [C] happy once a[G]gain


She was


[D]hoping she could go back to [C]when she be[G]lieved

I think, many a young lady would see this song as being about them.

Peatle,
So good to hear from you !!
Hope all is good with you.

Thanks for giving it a listen -  I feel so bad for this girl  - she has so much to deal with.


I recorded it this morning and put it on soundcloud.  https://soundcloud.com/james-kenyon-997 … e-believed

That is a good Jim better than anything I could do nowadays.  A piano accordion accompanying you and your guitar would set that of nicely.     

Re: New Song : " When She Believed "

That's a pretty good song ... but it also made me wonder how to get some of these songs indexed on Chordie itself ...
