Topic: Song: It Just Might Be Me

I was watching all the people scurrying about the past couple of days over the celebration of Valentine's Day.

I too am a victim of love - and easily fall into that category so it is not a criticism.   I just wanted to point out there is a lot of other love that is need in this world and hope that these words can make people reflect a bit on that as we celebrate the love in our lives.

It probably needs a lot of editing but in my head it seems ok.  Let me know what you think
and oh yeah....... HAPPY VALENTINES DAY

Jim

It Just Might Be Me By Jim Kenyon


Verse 1


[G]Look around this ‘ol world and open up [C] your eyes and your [G]heart


If you can stop just one soul from aching, well [D]that’s a real good start


take the [G] time to care, and help someone[C] with a heavy [G]load


Ya' know a prayer, or a song might help a friend send their [D]troubles down the [G]road


.




Verse 2


[G]Show a little kindness, and bring some sunshine to [C]someone else’s[G] yard


A helping hand, or a smile or two, you see it’s [D]really not that hard


and if you [G] look around for those in need, there’s[C] no telling what you’ll[G] find


It’s funny that while you’re helping them, you’ll find your [D] own peace of [G]mind




.




Chorus


Yea it, [C] Seems the more that you care


and the [G]more love that you share


oh it[D] makes this world a better place to [G] be


So let your [C] love come shining through,


for [G] all the wretched world to see


because that [D]person’s aching heart you heal,


well it [C] just might be [G]me



yeah it [D] just [C]might be [G]me




Verse 3


[G]It’s the little things, that can warm a heart, like [C]easing a friend in [G] need


It doesn’t take much to give a lot, who knows [D] where that road may lead


We all [G] have different dreams to follow, but we [C]sometimes lose our [G]way


And we all could use a little love sometimes, to help us [D]make it through tough [G]days




.




Chorus


Yea it, [C] Seems the more that you care


and the [G]more love that you share


oh it[D] makes this world a better place to [G] be


So let your [C] love come shining through,


for [G] all the wretched world to see


because that [D]person’s aching heart you heal,


well it [C] just might be [G]me


yeah it [D] just [C]might be [G]me


yeah it [D] just [C]might be [G]me


yeah it [D] just [C]might be [G]me

Re: Song: It Just Might Be Me

Good one Jim Being loved by someone special is the greatest feeling a person can experience in his or her entire life and your lyrics cover that perfectly. We can always give without loving, but we can never love without giving. Finding the right love will always be a young persons challenge. As the Beatles  sang "All You Need Is Love." I look forward to hearing you do this song.  Happy Valentines Day.

Thanks Peatle !

Hope you and Maree share a special day together today !!
It's summer there right ?  WE are getting 8-12" of snow tomorrow!

Cheers

Re: Song: It Just Might Be Me

I just re-wrote  ( as I usually do  smile  )
Changed a few lyrics and re-arranged the chords.
I am going to try to record it later today or tomorrow.

Give ' er   a try and let me know what you think

Happy VD !!   smile

Re: Song: It Just Might Be Me

Excellent song for the Valentine holiday Jim!     

I want to read my own water, choose my own path, write my own songs

Re: Song: It Just Might Be Me

I might also add that you created an interesting rhyme scheme Jim.  Per the method I learned while attending NSAI songwriter meetings, I would describe the verses as an AABB rhyme scheme and the chorus AABCBDB.  Well done.

Thank you Jim, Maree and I enjoyed our Valentines Day. It is summer here with the temperatures around  20 degrees Celsius or 68 Fahrenheit. This summer hasn't  been a typical one with cooler temperatures  than the usual average and some unseasonal storms. On good weather days it has been fantastic.
I hope your Valentines Day was a good one.     

Re: Song: It Just Might Be Me

Hi Jim. Yea just read through your words again, good job. 12 inches of snow? Ann is so envious, I like to see snow on cards or TV. If we had that much snow the country would close down...like lock down plus VAT! Let's hear it amigo     

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