Topic: Total revamp of my Song Lonsome Heart and Empty Sky
I changed the lyrics took out verse 4 and the bridge... new chords.
It happened b/c I was playing it on my Rickenbacker and all of a sudden it just came out this way - I liked it so much better.
lonesome heart and empty sky By Jim Kenyon
Verse 1:
[Am] He was standing by the road, a cigarette in his hand
[E] Suitcase laying by his feet, he’d be[Am]come a traveling man
[Am] had no wife, no children,just blowin' in the breeze
A [E] life without meaning, he was [Am]fading like autumn leaves
Verse 2:
.
[Am] once, she was a sweet lovin' girl, with silky golden hair
With a [E] smile that could take away [Am] all his worldly cares
but [Am] as he held her tremblin' hand, the coldness broke his will
and [E]when she finally left this world, it seemed [Am] all time stood still
.

Chorus
[Dm ] So he pours rotgut [Am]whiskey, as his [Dm] anger begins to [Am]grow
Always [D] tryin’ to drown those [Am]memories and [E]what he can't let [Am]go.
[Dm] He walks every [Am]lonely road where [Dm]no one hears him [Am] cry
There’s [Dm] just the ache of a[Am] lonesome heart [E]and an empty [Am] sky .
.
Verse 3:
.
[Am]They buried her in April, he couldn’t bear to say goodbye
On his [E] knees he looked upward, and asked [Am] God to tell him why
[Am] anger was burning up his heart, yet he felt so damn cold
he [E] was all alone and broken, so he [Am] headed for the open road
.

[Dm] He walks every [Am]lonely road where [Dm]no one hears him [Am] cry
There’s [Dm] just the ache of a[Am] lonesome heart [E]andan empty [Am]sky .
[Dm] He walks every [Am]lonely road where [Dm]no one hears him [Am] cry
There’s [Dm] just the ache of a[Am] lonesome heart and [E] memories that never say good[Am]bye
[E][Am](SLOW picked Am chord, and then one last AM strum soft)

The price of anything, is the amount of life you exchange for it. - H.D. Thoreau
Your vision is not limited by what your eye can see, but what your mind can imagine.
Make your life count, and the world will be a better place because you tried.
"Use the talents you possess, for the woods would be very silent if no birds sang except only the the best." - Henry Van Dyke
