This is one of the first songs I've written. The time limit for audio makes it difficult to include an entire song from start to finish... so I try to trim to the most important parts of the song for getting the melody and a good idea of how the whole song comes together. Submitting to song lyrics poetry contest.
Listen to poem:
Start All Over Again



        C.                          G
Vs.1) Your voice is like whiskey deep down
          F
in my bones
C.                G.             F
Your arms around me ,feels like I am home
C.                              G
You're warm when I'm cold, You're cold 
              F
when I'm hot, ohhh
C.                       G.                    F
There's nothin' I want that you're not.
          C.                          G
Vs.2) Your eyes burn like fire where you 
F.        C.                          G.              F
stare. Your laugh like Champaign, is music
                 C.                        G
to my ears. When you kissed me I knew I
      F
was caught,oh h
C.                    G.              F.                CGF
You're everything I didn't know…I'd want.

*CHORUS*
C.                     G.                       F
What's yours is mine and what's mine is 
          C.               G.                 F
yours. It's not just raining, baby, your love 
          C.                   G
pours!  Like a ragin' storm soakin' me
F.                                  C
right down to my skin…when we're all 
G.                 F.                      CGF
done…let's start….all over again!
                          C.  G F.              C. GF
[*ending: all over again, all over again…
                   C G F C
again and again.]
          C.               G.         
Vs.3) You are my person, that's all I can 
F.        C.                   G
say. The one I run home to and ask,
F.                                         C       
"Honey, how was your day?" This passion
     G.                                    F.         C
between us may cause us to fight…but 
                              G.            F
let 'Em say you're wrong,and I'll…always
                              CGF
swear that you're right!
(*CHORUS*)

This is so creative, Crystal. I love how you included chords. I learned guitar in my 40's but could never play by ear. I always needed the chords written above the words. Then I tried to create my own song. Only one though. I remember practicing many strings and songs two years straight. Then 15 years later I picked up a guitar and forgot all the chords I had learned except for a few. So disheartening. Congrats on your win and for having a nice singing voice too.

Why thank you so much! Hey have you ever tried ukulele? I learned it by watching videos online...I was playing songs within a couple days! I can't play by ear either... but the more i played uke, the better I became at hearing which cord goes where. A guitar has a much fuller, more sophisticated sound but ukulele is way easier! Xo
