Topic: Cry For Me Dwynwen - New Song

A few days ago, was St. Dwynwen's day. She is the Patron Saint of Welsh Lovers, and seeing
as I'm welsh, I thought I'd honour the long forgotten saint with a song.

P.s. the way I play Em7 isn't like the way it's shown on the chart, rather like this:

Cry For Me DwynwenAcoustic Ballad


meaningfully, in 4/4 time




[Spoken, No Cbords]


O Blessed St. Dwynwen, you who knew pain and peace, division and reconciliation, you have


promised to aid lovers and you watch over those whose hearts have been broken.  As you


received three boons from an Angel, intercede for me to receive three blessings; to obtain


my heart's desire or, if that is not God's Will, a speedy healing from my pain; your guidance


and assistance, that I may find love with the right person, at the right time, and in the


right way; and an unshakeable faith in the boundless kindness and wisdom of God. And this


I ask in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord.   


Amen.

[G]Had to [D]pray to you [Cadd9]one last [D]time,


[G]There's [D]someone [Cadd9]on my [D]mind,

[G] [D] [Cadd9] [D] x2




Verse 2:


[G]Had to [D]argue [Cadd9]all the [D]time,


[G]It [D]was [Cadd9]acci-[D]dentally,


[G]Left me [D]alone [Cadd9]on your [D]day,


[G]Friday [D]25th of [Cadd9]Janu-[D]ary.




Chorus


[Em7]Cry for [Cadd9]me [G]Dwynwen,


[Em7]I've lost [Cadd9]it all [G]again,

[Spoken, No Cbords]


Saint Dwynwen,


We beseech thee, Comfort lovers whose vision is unclear.  Send mending to those with love


lost.  Protect our companions.


In your name, we seek to do the same.  In your name, we choose love first.  With the love


of you, of Mary, and of Jesus Christ.


Amen.

Temus99,

Very cool song, Temus99!
One of my favorite reference books is "The Oxford Dictionary of the Saints" which has short biographies for hundreds of people and gives great little glimpses into their lives and times.  Although few facts are known about most of the medieval saints, the stories are fascinating.

Dwynwen is one I hadn't read about before - thanks for the intro to this young girl from 1,600 years ago!  Some things never really change - a young woman's life complicated by romance, sex, and the expectations of her family . . .
