Topic: A Song to End EB's Blitz

I wrote one for Brian's crusade at the beginning and I promised him one for the end.
So here it is - probably needs a little tweaking and polish - but I wanted to get it out there.




When Someone Breaks Your Heart By Jim Kenyon


Verse 1


.


[D]it’s time to take me home boys, guess I’ve had too much to [G]drink


it’s [A] time to take me home boys, my mind's too numb to [D]think


[D] Memories keep coming back, and so do all of the [G]tears


It’s [A]time to take me home boys, I've still [G]loved her, all these [D]years


.


Verse2


.




[D]it’s time to take me home boys, another night I end up [G]alone


It’s [A] time to take me home boys, her heart, must be made of [D] stone


[D]Don’t know how long this hurt will last, hope I ain’t asking [G]much


but, it’s [A] time to take me home boys, I'm still [G]longing for her[D] touch.


.


Chorus


.


Seems [G]love always does just what it wants [D]hearts aren't always true


I’m [A] stuck with a love that never was, and it’s [G]got me feelin’ [D] blue


oh, I [G]can’t just start over 'cause I [D]don't know where to start.


I [A]guess that’s what happens, when [G]someone breaks your [D]heart.


yeah, I [A]guess that’s what happens, when [G]someone breaks your [D]heart..


.




Verse 3


[D]it’s time to take me home boys, ya' know It's getting kind of [G]late



it’s [A]time to take me home boys, blame it on a simple twist of [D]fate


[D] ain’t no sense holding onto a happiness I never [G] had


It’s [A]time to take me home boys, that last [G] song's got me feeling [D]sad


.


Verse 4


[D] it’s time to take me home boys, this hurting has got to [G]end


My [A] tears can't keep falling and this heartache's got to[D] mend


[D]I tried my best to have her love me, but it just wasn’t meant to [G]be


it’s [A] time to take me home boys, still my [G]heart and set it [D]free.


.


.


Chorus


.


Seems [G]love always does just what it wants [D]hearts aren't always true


I’m [A] stuck with a love that never was, and it’s [G]got me feelin’ [D] blue


oh, I [G]can’t just start over 'cause I [D]don't know where to start.


I [A]guess that’s what happens, when [G]someone breaks your [D]heart.


yeah, I [A]guess that’s what happens, when [G]someone breaks your [D]heart..


.




.


oh, I [G]can’t just start over 'cause I [D]don't know where to start.


I [A]guess that’s what happens, when [G]someone breaks your [D]heart.


yeah, I [A]guess that’s what happens, when [G]someone breaks your [D]heart..

This reminds me of a sea shanty, sung by sailors of old while hoisting sails or weighing the anchor. I hope someone records this for you in the old shanty style. Nice one Jim

Re: A Song to End EB's Blitz

Jim your weaving your magic with songwriting again, I like it. Your lyrics as Phill has pointed out would sound good in a shanty style. I will attach a group doing a shanty style song that I'm sure will entertain as its usually done as part of a Who rock opera.

Re: A Song to End EB's Blitz

On this dull, damp rainy summers day in Wales that has raised my spirits no end, I loved the style and harmonies and especially the humour. Thank you Pedr. Oh, and the sun just came out, magic.

1st, that is a favorite Who song of mine !

That was one of the finest performances I have watched on you tube - ever !
I urge all chordians that read this to be sure to watch the video !

Incredible voices, perfect play on humor - ( I loved the line " shut up your face ! smile  )
I have listened to it three times - just amazing.
It is incredible what awesome musicians can do.

Thank you so much for sharing this !

Phill

Thanks for the kind words, and you are spot on - that's how I have it my head.
I kind of envision it as a pub song.

Since that " shanty style" sounds to me to be a very "old English sailor" type of a song, I think maybe you should be the one to put it to music  smile

Thanks again for giving it a look
