Caribean Dream

A song I wrote and Phill Williams arranged and performed.
these are the lyrics and chords
Em The sounds of lonely winds, and the A secrets they Em hide
Em a prelude to the misery that A she keeps in Em side
Em her heart was shattered, now she’s A looking for a way Em out
Em and leave behind the past, but A she’s drowning in Em doubt
.
Em She tries to live in the present, but her A mind’s still in the Em past
Em she caters to what she might lose, A believing nothing will Em last
Em blinded by tears and fears, and what the A wowsers might Em say
Em struggling to be free, and to A love on some other Em day
.
chorus
[G] now girl, [A] before you, are the [Em] doors to start again,
and a [C] fight to [B] rise up from the [Em] dust
but [G] you must [A] chose to leave your [Em] solitude behind,
just as [C] twilight [B] deepens into the [Em] dusk
.
[A] it’s time for [G] you to take a [Em] leap of faith,
[G] and [A] believe that you are [Em] strong, so strong
[A] open [G] up your heart and find [Em] love again
and [G] live life [A] to the full, before it’s [Em] gone
.
Em it’s hard to find a [G] new song, in the A jukebox we call Em life
Em despatchers send us [G] doubts, they sayA love cuts like a Em knife
Em the past is [G] past they say. It's A been, and now it's Em gone
Em Woman, it’s [G] time to look ahead, A time to move Em on
.
chorus
[G] now girl, before [A] you, are the [Em] doors to start again,
and a [C] fight to [B] rise up from the [Em] dust
[G] but you must [A] chose to leave your [Em] solitude behind,
just as [C] twilight [B] deepens into the [Em] dusk
.
A it’s time for [G] you to take a [Em] leap of faith,
[G] and [A] believe that you are [Em] strong, so strong
[A] open [G] up your heart and find, find [Em] love again
and [G] live life [A] to the full, before it’s [Em] gone
then you 
.
Em rise [D] up from the [Em] dust
Em rise [D] up from the [Em] dust
why don't you
Em rise [D] up from the [Em] dust
.(slow)
[G] fight to [A] rise up from the [Em] dust


Hope you like it.

Life Rolls On

Memory And A Photograph

G C G C G C G

[C]Woke up to the [Am]rain
Set my [G]mind to mus[C]ing
To the [G]sound so soo[C]thing
While my [G]ears were sadly loo[C]sing
[G]Most of the [Am]details

[C]Thunder rumbles [Am]on
Off in the [G]distance down a [C]ways
After [G]flashing vein like [C]rays
As [G]nighttime leaves for the [C]day
A [G]cloud muted [Am]sunrise

Stormy [G]morning [C]
Stormy [G]morning [C] [G] [C] [D]

Try to shut my eyes
But my mind refuses to bend
Not going down that path again
With my dreams forgotten
At least for the moment

Roll on out of bed
Go through my morning routine
Replay the familiar old scene
Tee-shirt, sneakers, and jeans
Then go take the dog out

Stormy [G]morning [C]
Stormy [G]morning [C] [G] [C] [D]

And we [Am]walk for a [C]while through shimmering [G]showers
[Am]Blinking, reflecting [C]light seems like for [G]hours
[Am]Our time, me and my [C]dog strengthening powers  [D]

After our short morning stroll
Our journey comes to an end
An unhurried meeting with friends
The kind you want to remember
When you start forgetting

Cleaning up doesn’t take long
Just a towel off and a shake
A treat for my doggy to take
After one paw and handshake
Mission accomplished

Stormy [G]morning [C]
Stormy [G]morning [C] [G] [C] [G] [C]

# Cover - Green, Green Grass of Home

Song I wrote about a troubled relationship that works out ( maybe)

Kudos to my man Frank who recorded it for me.

these are the lyrics and chords.
Verse 1
.
[Em]she said “come to me baby, as fast you can
I [D] need some lovin’, need to hold my man
So I [Em] flew to Madrid in the dead of the night
as[D] velvet darkness [C] turned to morning [Em]light
.

Verse 2
.
[Em]a journey to memories left behind
In [D] the city of passion and Rioja wine
I [Em] came through the clouds towards the Spanish sun
to [D]bring hearts back to [C] where they had [Em] begun
.
Chorus
[Am] walking the streets of Madrid, where lovers roam
We [Em]talked about the future, and going home
a[Am]long the way, we’ll find ourselves again
In the [B7]whispers of love, [Am] hoping our hearts will [Em]mend

.
{c: short guitar piece) 

[Em]   [D]   [C]  [Em]
.

Verse 3
.
[Em]when she loves, she loves, when she cries she cries
she [D] left me in L.A., never said good bye 
she [Em] headed for Madrid, to follow her dreams
but it [D] stole her passion and [C] broke her heart it [Em] seems
.

Chorus
[Am] walking the streets of Madrid, where lovers roam
We [Em]talked about the future, and going home
a[Am]long the way, we’ll find ourselves again
In the [B7]whispers of love, [Am] walking hand in [Em] hand

{c: outgo:  Slower )
.
a[Am]long the way, we’ll find ourselves again
In the [B7]whispers of love, [Am] hoping our hearts will [Em]mend
.

a [Am]long the way, we’ll find ourselves again
(real slow)
In the [B7]whispers of love, but so [Am] hard to know [Em] when

Rise and Shine

Just having a go, having fun and learning :)
Love to hear your comments.
I mostly play ukulele which I have been learning and playing since 2012 and a little bit of guitar(very basic, self taught as you will no doubt hear). 
 I love singing and find it good soul food :)
All recordings I have done are with a little hand held battery operated recorder.
I have been singing, having fun with lots of songs out there and  have been mucking around  "attempting" #Covers# for friends who are writing their own music. 
 I have also started writing my own songs.
