In The Garden

In The Garden,

This has been a favorite of mine all my life.

I hope you enjoy learning it. 

D
I come to the garden alone 
          G                   D
While the dew is still on the roses
        A7                   D     
And the voice I hear falling on my ear 
    E7         A7
The Son of God discloses
 
       D                    A7
And He walks with me and He talks with me 
       G                 D
And He tells me I am His own
               D7          G     
And the joy we share as we tarry there 
     D         A7   D
None other has ever known 
 
 
He speaks and the sound of His voice 
      G                          D
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing
        A7             D       
And the melody that He gave to me 
    E7             A7
Within my heart is ringing
 
       D                    A7
And He walks with me and He talks with me 
       G                 D
And He tells me I am His own
               D7          G     
And the joy we share as we tarry there 
     D         A7   D
None other has ever known

His Eye Is On The Sparrow ~ A Six Chord Song

His Eye Is On The Sparrow

G                             C                      G
Why should I feel discouraged why should the shadows come
E7                     Am     D7                      G
Why should my heart be lonely and long for heaven and home 
                            G7                 C Am
When Jesus is my portion my constant friend is He 
    D7            G                     D7      G
His eye is on the sparrow and I know He watches me 
    G7            C             G       D7      G
His eye is on the sparrow and I know He watches me 

  D7               G       D7               G    G7
I sing because I'm happy I sing because I'm free 
    C             G  D7 C         G       D7      G
His eye is on the sp-ar-row and I know He watches me 

                      C               G
Whenever I am tempted whenever clouds arise 
E7                       Am      D7                  G
When songs give place to sighing when hope within me dies 
                         G7                   C    Am
I draw the closer to Him from care He sets me free 
    D7            G                     D7      G
His eye is on the sparrow and I know He watches me 
    G7            C             G       D7      G
His eye is on the sparrow and I know He watches me 

Repeat #2 x2

              C         G       C
And I know He watches I know He watches  
  G       D7      G
I know He watches me

I woke up this morning with this song in my heart.

It is one of my all time favorites and brings me such 

an overwhelming feeling of peace and of being truly loved.

I hope you enjoy it.

Have a wonderful day!

Freight Train Blues

I haven't posted here in a long time,

but who among us doesn't love an old bluesy song 

about a freight train.

Especially when it is only 4 chords :) 

D
I was born in Dixie in a boomer's shack
                              A7       D
Just a little old shanty by a railroad track
 
The humming of the drivers was my lullaby
                                      A7     D
And a freight train whistle taught me how to cry
 
                                                    
I've got the freight train blues Lordy Lordy Lordy
                            E7       A7
Got 'em in the bottom of my rambling shoes
    D
And when that whistle blows I've gotta go 
G         D
Oh Lordy  guess I'm never gonna lose
    A7            D
The freight train blues
 
                                             
Now my Pappy was a fireman and my Mammy dear
                            A7    D
Was the only daughter of an en-gineer
 
My sister married a brakeman and it ain't no joke
                                     A7       D
Now it's a shame the way she keeps a good man broke

I've got the freight train blues Lordy Lordy Lordy
                            E7       A7
Got 'em in the bottom of my rambling shoes
    D
And when that whistle blows I've gotta go 
G         D
Oh Lordy  guess I'm never gonna lose
    A7            D
The freight train blues

Have great day, and keep on,

Strumming & Singing :)

The Wayward Wind ~ Four Chords

The Wayward Wind  ~ Four Chords


G                   G7            C
Oh the wayward wind is a restless wind
           G                   D7
A restless wind that yearns to wander
           G     G7          C
And he was born  the next of kin
            G          C       G
The next of kin to the wayward wind


In a lonely shack by a railroad track

He spent his younger days
                                
And I guess the sound of the outward bound
D7                                G
Made him a slave to his wandering ways

repeat #1

Oh I met him there in a border town

He vowed we'd never part

Though he tried his best to settle down
D7                          G
Now I'm alone with a broken heart

  Keep Smiling,

Connie :)

Mama's Table ~ A Very Easy Three Chord Song

Mama's Table

Recorded by the Oak Ridge Boys



G                                          C

We pull a chair up every night and eat and talk and joke and fight

   D7                                      G

Us kids learned wrong from right at mama's table

                                                C

Just some hickory wood and screws it's where my daddy read the news

           D7                             G     C

You didn't put your dirty shoes on mama's table



           G                          C

It was the center of the best times I remember

    D7                                       G

Sometimes the only thing that brought us all together

                                       C

Grandma passed it down when I was in a cradle

     D7                                         G

It's in my kitchen now but it's still my mama's table



                                                C

It's where my brother and I played games I just knew he'd gone insane 

    D7                               G

The day he carved his name in mama's table

                                           C

And when we got down on our luck it seemed like it held us up

    D7                                   G

You could always feel the love in mama's table



                              C

It was the center of the best times I remember

    D7                                       G

Sometimes the only thing that brought us all together

                                       C

Grandma passed it down when I was in a cradle

     D7                                         G     C

It's in my kitchen now but it's still my mama's table



            G

It has some faded spots and cracks 

      C

And a couple of burns from candle wax

          D7                               G

There’s a memory in each scratch on mama's table
