Topic: Maybe a little help from me friends.

I'm looking for some chord suggestions.



Angelina’s Haunting                             marcalan 11-9-04

It was madness when she came
When she left, it was the same
And everyday, in between, was alive!

She raced through our minds.
Made fun of  our lives.
Our inner fears exposed, in our darkness she loomed.

She demanded breakfast in her room.
To avoid the common day gloom,
Her driver was to be out front by ten.

She would step aboard her coach,
In fine linen, parasol and broach.
To launch, yet another offense.

The souls lay strewn in her footsteps
Grasping to touch her gown, but inept
Some words came to our ears, Nevermore!

But when she walked through the square
All could not help but to stare
Her beauty and poise so profound.
I was sitting at tea
When she swept past me
In her presence, my heart hit the ground.
From that moment on
My mind was far gone
She had me in the palm of her smooth hand.
And with one side-looking smile
She knew, all the while
I’d never meet her idea of a man.

Then, She was torn from our view
Where she went, no one knew
We searched our hearts, but to no avail.

When we found ourselves alone
All our failings, well known
The loss, each one, knows too well.

As I enter my garden
With her scent, my heart hardened
I go to the spot where she stays

Stale flowers, forever replaced.
Gone with no trace.
Angelina, I’ll love you always.
Angelina, I’ll love you always.

I thought ; If I had one idea,
and took it from beginning to end.
I would try another.

Hi Marcalan,

This is a beautiful written work, i so enjoyed reading it. I could see the picture in

every word here. As for music! I hear this as a lovely slow ballad type.

There are loads of experts here with the know how. I aint one.

But thank you for sharing this.

Thanks to Old Doll for your compliments they made my day. I know you are all aware of exposing these children daylight; it can be fearful......marcalan

Hi Marclan,

I find three line verses difficult to work with but maybe you could try something like this. I fingerpicked it and the first C, Em and F are two bars duration and the rest just one.


[C]It was madness [Em]when she came
When she [F]left, it was the [C]same   [G]
And [F]everyday, [G]in between, was [C]alive!    [G]

[C]She raced [Em]through our minds.
Made [F]fun of  our [C]lives.   [G]
Our [F]inner fears [G]exposed, in our [C]darkness she [G]loomed.


I hope that this gives you an idea to help.
