Memory Lane
I read an article about the elderly in rest/retirement homes and one of the things they were worried about was getting Altzheimer's and forgetting what their loved ones looked like. This is a song about an old lonely man whose wife and friends have died and he is scared he will lose his memory and forget what his wife looked like.

(D) Your family gathered (Bm) all around, your (G) pain they tried to (A7) ease
(G) But you knew your (A7) time (D) was almost (Bm) done
(G) So you said goodbye to (Em) all, (A7) daughters and your (D) sons.
Chorus
(D) Now this beautiful (Bm) land (G) is a lesser (A7) place
(D) No longer (Bm) will I see your (G) sweet loving (A7) face

IF GOD IS LOVE
I often heard people saying "Why does God allow this tragedy or that dissaster to happen" He is supposed to love and care for us?" This is my answer to that question.
If God Is Love: Chords and Lyrics
(D) If God is love then tell me (G) why, there’s a (A7) heaven high in the (D) sky
and underground (D7) deep (G) below there’s a (A7) Hell where sinners (D) go.
If God is love then tell me (G) why, He lets (A7) young children and babies (D) die before they’ve (D7) had a (G) chance at life and (A7) why He allows so much (D) strife.
CHORUS
(D7) The (G) God I know lets us (D) choose to do (A7) as wish, win or (D) lose,
(D7) and if we (G) stumble and if (D) we fall, He’s always (A7) there to catch us (D) all.
If God is love then tell me (G) why, He lets (A7) wars in (D) foreign lands
With so much (D7) pain and (G) misery where blood flows (A7) freely on the (D) sand
If God is love then tell me (G) why, He lets (A7) vultures roam the (D) skies
High (D7) above those (G) starving below they have no (A7) food or hope you (D) know.
CHORUS
God is (G) love this I (D) know, not ‘cos the (A7) Bible tells me (D) so
He has so much (D7) love for me and (G) you, He‘ll accept us (A7) all whatever we may (D) do
So if you (G) want Him as your (D) friend open your (A7) heart and invite Him in. (D7)

IF GOD IS LOVE
I often heard people saying "Why does God allow this tragedy or that dissaster to happen" He is supposed to love and care for us?" This is my answer to that question.
If God Is Love: Chords and Lyrics
(D) If God is love then tell me (G) why, there’s a (A7) heaven high in the (D) sky
and underground (D7) deep (G) below there’s a (A7) Hell where sinners (D) go.
If God is love then tell me (G) why, He lets (A7) young children and babies (D) die before they’ve (D7) had a (G) chance at life and (A7) why He allows so much (D) strife.
CHORUS
(D7) The (G) God I know lets us (D) choose to do (A7) as wish, win or (D) lose,
(D7) and if we (G) stumble and if (D) we fall, He’s always (A7) there to catch us (D) all.
If God is love then tell me (G) why, He lets (A7) wars in (D) foreign lands
With so much (D7) pain and (G) misery where blood flows (A7) freely on the (D) sand
If God is love then tell me (G) why, He lets (A7) vultures roam the (D) skies
High (D7) above those (G) starving below they have no (A7) food or hope you (D) know.
CHORUS
God is (G) love this I (D) know, not ‘cos the (A7) Bible tells me (D) so
He has so much (D7) love for me and (G) you, He‘ll accept us (A7) all whatever we may (D) do
So if you (G) want Him as your (D) friend open your (A7) heart and invite Him in. (D7)
Silver Moon
I wrote this song as a tribute to all those brave men and women serving their country in war zones
Silver Moon : Chords and Lyrics
D G D A7
Silver moon in the sky, shining bright in the night
G A7 D A7
Shining on the ones that I love,
D G D A7
Silver moon in the sky, shining bright in the night
G Em A D
Tell me how they’re sleeping tonight
G D
I’m away from home on some foreign shore
A7 D D7
Fighting the enemy in this dessert war
G D
And the only thing that’s keeping me sane
A7 G Em A D
Is the thought of seeing my loved ones again.
G D
I’m not scared of being shot
A7 D D7
But of not holding my son again
G D
And knowing that it’s me he will soon forget
A7 G Em A D
If I fall on these hot dessert sands
CHORUS
G D
We’ve only been married for a couple of years
A7 D D7
And my leaving well it brought on tears
G D
My son is young and so is she
A7 G Em A D
Without me how will their lives be
G D
She’s lonely and in fear of my being dead
A7 D D7
I know that she lives in constant dread
G D
Of the knock on the door and the Padre's call
A7 G Em A D
He’ll console her and tell of my fall
CHORUS
G D
So I go outside and look to the sky
A7 D D7
And I’m praying to God on high
G D
That he allows that beautiful silver moon
A7 G Em A D
To watch over me and not let me die
D D
For I have seen too much violence here
A7 D D7
Of pain and suffering I have caused my share
G D
Now I want to be back where I belong
A7 G D
Back with my family where the love is so strong
CHORUS
An Empty Bed.
I met an old friend in town one day and he told me that his wife had left him but he couldn't forget her 'cos her perfume lingered in his house and he still received her mail.
That inspired me to write this song.

Chords and lyrics.
(D) In my heart a violent storm’s (G) a raging
From my (A7) eyes tears are pouring (D) down
Yesterday you (D7) finally (G) left me
And I (A7) know you won’t be (D) around
Your place at the table it is (G) empty
And your (A7) shoes are no longer by the (D) door
I can still (D7) smell the fragrance of (G) your perfume
And your (A7) underwear is still in my (D) draw
Chorus
An empty (G) bed and a broken (D) heart
That is (A7) all that I can (D) see
An (D7) empty (G) bed and a broken (D) heart
‘Cos you’re (A7) no longer here with (D) me
The postman still delivers all your (G) mail
Which I (A7) place on the table in the (D) hall
Mrs (D7) Jones across the road says (G) “How are you?”
And reminds (A7) me to ask you to (D) call
Today I received the (G) notice
Telling (A7) me you filing for (D) divorce
It was (D7) then I finally (G) realised
That you don’t (A7) love me any (D) more
Chorus
All my hopes and dreams are (G) shattered
All my (A7) plans are like dust on the (D) floor.
Today (D7) I threw away (G) my wedding ring
‘Cos I won’t (A7) need it (D) anymore
Now I face a dark lonely (G) future
A sad grey (A7) life without (D) you
I thought that (D7) we’d be together (G) forever
Now you’re (A7) gone I don’t know what to (D) do
