Topic: re-write of a song

I re wrote this song using small changes in lyrics ( and the Title)  and a re-arrangement of chords.

probably a country  folk style song... but I like it much better like this

one of these days after I play a few more times I will record and post it.

Her Voice by Jim Kenyon



Verse 1


.


[G]I went down to the river, I was feeling kinda down


I [D7] couldn’t find no friends, there was, no one was around


I [G] tried to think of something happy, but [C]nothing came to mind


Then [G] I thought I heard her voice, [D]coming from be[G]hind


.


Saying  remember


[G]sunshine will greet you [C]every single[D] day, so


keep [G] a song in your heart to [Am]keep troubles a[D]way


[G]know that through love, you can [C]do anything you try


So [G] take a leap of faith, don’t let[D] life pass you[G] by


[G] take a leap of faith, don’t let[D] life pass you[G] by


.




Verse 2


.


[G]That voice always was, my favorite sound to hear


It [D7] sounded like an angel, whispering in my ear


when [G] I turned to see her ya’ [C] know she wasn’t there


So I [G] closed my eyes and saw her, with[D] flowers in her[G] hair




.




Chorus


.




she was singing


[G] sunshine will greet you [C]every single[D] day, so


keep [G] a song in your heart to [Am]keep troubles a[D]way


[G]know that through love, you can [C] do anything you try


So [G] take a leap of faith, don’t let[D] life pass you[G] by


[G] take a leap of faith, don’t let[D] life pass you[G] by


.




Verse 3



.


[G] close to bein’ broke, but thought I was just bein' free


always [D7] hoping things could be the way they used to be


I was [G] torn by a broken heart, a [C] pain that makes you cry


Then I [G] heard her voice saying, give [D] love another [G] try


.


chorus


.


i heard her say


[G] sunshine will greet you [C]every single[D] day, so


keep [G] a song in your heart to [Am]keep troubles a[D]way


[G]know that through love, you can [C]do anything you try


So [G] take a leap of faith, don’t let[D] life pass you[G] by


[G] take a leap of faith, don’t let[D] life pass you[G] by


.


Verse 4


.


[G]So I went to her house and I knocked on her door


Had a[D7] handful of flowers I bought at the store


When that [G]door opened up, I [C]saw a smile on her face


And that [G]voice told my heart it was [D]in the right [G]place


.




and she sang


.


[G]sunshine will greet you [C]every single[D] day, so


keep [G] a song in your heart to [Am]keep troubles a[D]way


[G]know that through love, you can [C] do anything you try


So [G] take a leap of faith, don’t let[D] life pass you[G] by


[G] take a leap of faith, don’t let[D] life pass you[G] by




.




So [G] take a leap of faith, don’t let[D] life pass you[G] by


[G] take a leap of faith, don’t let[D] life pass you[G] by
