Topic: Song: Another Chance

I went out of my comfort zone on this - it's kinda punkish  smile in my head.
probably needs some refinement  smile


Another Chance By Jim Kenyon


[G]Well it’s six in the morning and I [F]can’t get you off my [G]mind


[G]I keep on wondering why I [F]ever left you be[D]hind


[C] everybody’s [D]telling me that [Bm] I must be in[Em]sane


they’re[C] right because my [D] heart is drenched with [G]pain


.




[G] Every song I hear, every [F]picture reminds me of [G]you


[G]If I can’t get you back, I [F] don’t know what I’ll [D] do


[C] I can’t get my [D]head around, not [Bm]holding you every [Em]night


So I[C] lay awake and [D] hope that we get this [G] right


.




Chorus


I just [C]want to be with [D]you and [Bm]hold you all night [Em]long


and [C]can you please for[D]give me, I never [Bm] meant to do you [C]wrong


I just [C]want to be with [D]you, so [Bm] please take me by the [Em] hand


While I’m [C] asking you to[D]night, for another [G]chance



.





[G]Straight from my heart is [F]where I’m coming [G] from


[G] I know who we are and [F] what we can be [D]come


[C] I’m hoping for a [D] miracle or a [Bm] blessing from a[Em]bove


‘cause I [C] know you’re the [D] only girl I’ll ever [G]love


.


Chorus


I just [C]want to be with [D]you and [Bm]hold you all night [Em]long


and [C]can you please for[D]give me, I never [Bm] meant to do you [C]wrong


I just [C]want to be with [D]you, so [Bm] please take me by the [Em] hand


While I’m [C] asking you to[D]night, for another [G]chance


While I’m [C] asking you to[D]night, for another [G]chance


Yeah, I’m [C] asking you to[D]night, for another [G]chance

Re: Song: Another Chance

Thanks Graham

I think a lot of people have been in that spot where they mad a choice and then regretted it.

Re: Song: Another Chance

Jim you have an incredible ability  to write lyrics that flow and tell a story of trying to win a ladies heart , and once again you have hit the nail perfectly on the head.  Like Grah I can hear a country blues thing going on with this song.

Re: Song: Another Chance

A few less words, and some shifts, and we can make it punk if you want.
It may be a little different but ill take a crack at it.

Re: Song: Another Chance

Been  a  bit    busy  this  last  week  or  so   but  I  managed  to  pick  my  guitar  up  tonight  and  play  this  song  through . As  I  said  in my  earlier  post   top class country  blues ,definitely one  I  would   slip  into   the  set  if  I  were  still   playing   with  GB  Blues band   or doing  my  country  and  western set  in  uk  clubs . I'll try  and  do  a  quick  recording  of  it  but  I'm  getting  ready  for  a  festival  at  the  start  of July and  I'm still  rehearsing the  set  .

Re: Song: Another Chance

This is the stripped down and, yes, altered version for PUNK!

I have to be honest, I have not played this as of yet, just did my best to sing the changes in my head. So if you need to move some notes around, it probably means it needs to be done.  LOL.   big_smile
 
I’m feeling ¾ time at 134 BPM
Tuning in Eb.   
Major chords are Root 5 or full barr chords.
Minors are open in first p[position. (cowboy chords)
strumming pattern:

1              2                3                  4                                    
D *  *       D  *  U        *  *  U          D  *  U         
____        _____         _____              _____
  3               3               3                    3


Another Chance- Streamlined for Punk,  rewrite by Beamer

V1
G                      F                    G
I can’t get you off my mind
G                          F              D
Wondering why I left you behind
C                    D              Bm          Em
Everybody’s telling me I must be insane
               C                D                     G
But without you girl my days are so plain

V2
G                                     F                     G
Every song I hear reminds me of you
G                                     F                     D
Pictures in my mind, what will I do
C                   D                   Bm              Em
I can’t get my head ‘round being in this fight
C                      D                               G
Nightmares wake me, how do I make this right

Chorus:
Em                       G
I never meant to do no wrong
Am                C
Now I sit and write you this song
Em                      G
Will I be lonely or will you take my hand
Am                              C
My hearts on the table, can’t you understand?

But without you girl my days are so plain

V3
G                             F                              G
Mistakes happen and we have a fight,
G                               F              D
Resentment buries into your life
C                    D                     Bm      Em
Will you forgive me, please let me know?
C                             D                        G
I guess for now I sit back and watch the show.

Chorus:
Em                       G
I never meant to do no wrong
Am                C
Now I sit and write you this song

I can’t get my head ‘round being in this fight
C                              D                    G
Nightmares wake me, can I make this right

Chorus:
Em                       G
I never meant to do no wrong
Am                C
Now I sit and write you this song
Em                      G
Will I be lonely or will you take my hand
Am                              C
My hearts on the table, can’t you understand?
