Topic: Astral Dream Woman (re written)

I was not satisfied at all with the original version of this song.

I revamped some of the lyrics and changed the Chords - played it  a bit more up tempo,
yet tried to retain some of the sadness the lyrics invoke.
I will try to get a version recorded, by my singing and playing don't exactly enhance the song smile

New Lyrics and Chords


Astral Dream Woman by Jim Kenyon


Verse 1


.




[Em]A butterfly vision with lovely soft wings


[C]etched with free spirits like cosmic stars


[G]She lived by her own rules,made no excuses


[D]kept no secrets, just [C]followed her [Em]heart


.


Verse 2


.


[Em]her head filled with dreams, no boundaries, no fears


[C]hopes and desires like the moon as an enchanted night


[G]a freed soul in the water, flowing with love and passion


and a [D] song in her heart, a [C]rhapsody played just [Em]right


.




Chorus


[C]A veil covers time, and once more I am there


seems [G] ecstasy winds are blowing across the sea


Oh I [C]stand on the sand, where just for a moment


I [D]hear her sweet voice that [C]brings her back to [G]me


.




Guitar solo





[Em][C][G] [D] [C][G]




.


Verse 3


.




[Em]Love's sparks and flames still burn in my soul


but [C] get lost in the cold, cruel silence of night


my [G] heart cannot, for its own sake, ever forget


this [D] astral dream woman, the [C] the love of my [Em] life


.




Chorus


[C]A veil covers time, and once more I am there


seems [G] ecstasy winds are blowing across the sea


Oh I [C]stand on the sand, where just for a moment


I [D]hear her sweet voice that [C]brings her back to [G]me


.




outgo- slower


I [C]stand on the sand, where just for a moment


I [D]hear her sweet voice that [C]brings her back to [G]me
